R/pirscy !!top!! Instant

I joined the Rust-Cutter crew two seasons back. Captain Vex doesn't wear a tricorn; she wears a welding mask fused to her skull. Her ship isn't wood. It's scrap. She pulls sunken iron from the Dead Shallows and rivets it to the hull while her crew sings hymns to the Drowned God in reverse.

Yesterday, I tried to cut the mer-row loose. Didn't make it three steps before First Mate Scrimshaw (a man with barnacles for teeth) held me down. Vex took a heated pry-bar and levered off my left ear. Not as punishment. As a lesson . r/pirscy

She laughed. Told me the Code was written by merchants who were scared of the deep. I joined the Rust-Cutter crew two seasons back

She dropped the ear into the mer-row's tank. The singer ate it. Now it knows my name.
