Hello, all!
[ Lo and behold: a very sing-songy middle aged man in a cravat. He's looking a potent mix of both cheery and matter-of-fact, rooting through a bookshelf in the library as he speaks, with his mirror set to hover next to him. Get comfortable because he's gonna be here for a while. He is definitely both emotionally fine and normal. ]
It's me! Stede, if you know me. But I'm also Stede if you don't know me, which you probably don't, so either way. You can go ahead and introduce yourself back to me if you want. In a minute. Not right this second.
I've decided to carry over a little tradition that I took up with my crew back at home, and this is all about getting the word out. Starting tonight-- and every night going forward-- I'll be in the balcony garden closest to the library reading aloud for anyone who might be interested. We're gonna start with a classic fairy tale collection, but if you dig out something you want done, I can fold that into the rotation. Just try to keep requests in line with the vibe, guys! You know, something fun and interesting for the team before bed! We're not putting on a spooky stage show.
[ He pauses. ]
I mean, not now specifically. I am interested in helping however I can if anyone's been meaning to express themselves creatively. Theatre is highly enriching.
Anyway, that should be all! To reiterate: storytime, roundabout... seven? Sevenish. If that works. Garden by the library. You can bring along some comfy blankets and pillows, maybe a little snack. Really make a night of it. Or you can just check in on your mirror around then if you're not feeling social, because I'll have that all set up. What else...
Oh, right. I'll go ahead and cut off a very important question by letting you know that the answer is "yes. Stede does all the voices." This isn't amateur hour. [ Like, imagine not doing the voices. No way. ] So don't worry about that.

[ And storytime at seven. The three core tenets of any lifestyle, apparently. ]
I don't know. I've never been kidnapped for a magical quest before.
no subject
[Miles gives a shrug, trying to reassure him. Or. Well. As best one can with this sort of situation. At least Stede is having an easier introduction to all this. Somewhere more hospitable than the desert.]
no subject
[ He's technically not even a good pirate and now he's on team winging-it to save a Green. ]
Seems like a lot of you guys are awfully young to get stuck in this mess, though, doesn't it? I mean, I know I made it clear I'm not qualified anyway. Just the principle of the thing.
[ Magic trees have no manners or decency in their selection process, which Stede can't be too mad about because... they're trees. (He thinks he will be mad anyway.) ]
no subject
[He's literally been at the whole superhero thing like a couple days or something back home before ending up here. So. Yeah, literally still figuring it out. On his end at least. He gives a shrug at that, glancing to the side briefly.]
It's not like we had any control with this. Ending up here. Just gotta make the most of it.
no subject
[ There's no not making do given the larger circumstances. There's no way to secretly have a ship built and then run out in the middle of the night to become a pirate with zero warning. Not optimal. ]
All the more reason for everyone to get into some morale-boosting enrichment. [ Call that the storytime and future arts and crafts agenda. ] Team building! The more ideas, the better, if you're ever looking to fill some time.
no subject
[And also dependent on the level of technology, possibly. That too. Things that might not necessarily be available here. But no. Given the castle is literally moving and all. Probably not the best chance of figuring a ship and all this time around.]
