[Some people will recognize this odd man with a hole in his head. But today, well, maybe it's just the video quality, but he's got a different energy about him? It's hard to pin down why. Maybe he's standing a little straighter.]

Um... I've been lucky to get to know a lot of you better over the past month. People have been very kind to me, and I'm grateful. But... I've remembered some things. And I know now that it's not fair of me to keep this to myself. Before I came here, I drilled holes in people's heads. Two of them survived but six of them died. I don't plan on drilling anyone else unless they want me to, but if you don't want to be around me because of this, I understand.
[Closing his eyes a moment.]

On a different note, I want everyone to know that I love Grell Sutcliff and one day soon I'm going to marry her! That's all.
[He's really gonna follow up that first thing with this?]

[Grell is dangerous and powerful and Fukuda loves that about her so much.]

Good! I'll tell her too. So she'll maybe go easy on you a little.
[Be nice to my pirate friend he is trying his best.]

[woodeneye]

Please.

[ Do you know how hard it is to make a pirate say please. He's terrified. ]

[holeful]

[He nods, and then Thinks a moment about Grell.]

And maybe we need to dress you up a little, too.
[I assume Ragetti is More Washed now that has has easy access but it's probably Not Enough and I'm sure he's still scruffy.]

[woodeneye]

[ You assume correctly! He does shower now, and he's still amazed at the concept of showers every time, but any further nuances of personal hygiene are lost on him. And yes, he still only owns the one set of clothes. Well, and the kimono he got from the geiko dressing him up, but he really doesn't think he can put that on again by himself. ]

Any ideas ye got, mate, I'll take 'em.

[ If it'll make him less likely to get chainsawed in half, he's on board!! ]

[holeful]

Well, probably different clothes for starters?

[This seems like an obvious move.]

[woodeneye]

[ Oh. Yeah. Ragetti plucks at the base of his singular pinkish shirt, frowning. It's been through a lot with him, but... ]

Ye mean, not just fer fancy occasions? Just, like... to have? And wear?

[ Weird. ]

[holeful]

[Man... pirates have it rough.]

Yes? I mean, I wear different clothes every day.
[Are they just slight variations on the same basic style? Yes. He's a man of simple tastes.]

[woodeneye]

[ They tell you a lot about the freedom of piracy, the thrill of the treasure hunt, the sea breeze in your hair. They don't tell you so much about the sartorial monotony. ]

Any chance ye'd help me pick something out? Something... not too pricey?

[ He knows there are a lot of very pretty clothes out there, and an even more lot of future styles he knows nothing about. By himself, he'd get overwhelmed really fast. ]

[holeful]

Oh, sure! I mean, I don't have particularly elaborate or expensive tastes myself.

[The Mii Shop Theme 10 Hours in his brain can't allow for more.]

[woodeneye]

Right, it's settled, then! Ye help me find somethin' nice to wear so's I don't embarrass and/or endanger meself in front of yer woman, and I.. er.

[ He feels like he ought to offer something in exchange, even though that's not very piratey. But Fukuda's one of the few friends he's made here so far, and, well, call him a sap. He likes having friends. ]

...I could teach ye how to use a sword? Or a pistol? Or both, but I wouldn't recommend tryin' to use 'em at the same time. Speakin' from experience.

[holeful]

[He doesn't really need to learn how to use any weapons but... swords ARE cool? Also maybe if he learned how to fight better he could impress Ares better.]

Oh, that would be cool! Learning how to use a sword, I mean.
