On Southern Pride · 1:02am Jun 27th, 2015
Attention crew of the Moraine! Henceforth, we will be flying this flag o'er our glorious ship.
Now, those of ye not brushed up on yer history might not know what yon flag is. That, me lads and lasses, is the Bonnie Blue Flag, a sign of southern pride not associated with decades of racism. To give it's history briefly, this flag was flown during the Rebellion of 1810, in which a large part of the South ruled by the Spanish rebelled and created the Republic of West Florida, comprised of everything from modern day Pensacola to New Orleans along the Southern coastal plains. It remained independent until annexed to the U.S. a few months later. The flag, however, has stayed as a mark of the South.
Why adopt this flag? Well, yer Captain be Southern, lads and lasses, and with this recent dust up o'er the confederate flag, I needed to make a distinction. I'm not a racist. Any man or woman worth their salt is welcome in my crew. However, I wanted to remind ye all that I'm still proud of me heritage and can dissever it from the racist connotation of that other flag.
At any rate, that be all. As ye were, folks.
Holy crap you're back! I though you said you were leaving for good!

Yeah, I heard something about that. Haven't watched any of Season Five yet (Who knows, it might get me actively watching again) but I'm going to at least see what the fuss was about.
Also, Precisely. I travelled across the internet in my absence and nowhere else did I find a fiction writing community as fun as you guys.
