A couple weeks ago I shared the story of my brother's death with the crew. I hadn't actually brought it up in many years, but our recent adventures reminded me of him. And Brigandy Bay reminded me again. Our life is a difficult one, and before he died he was the greatest of allies.
We used to get into drinking competitions. I'm not sure if they were races or endurance tests, or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, he was as good a friend as I could find, and I most regret having lost him and not being able to help him. It's something I want to avoid with my current crew, I suppose it's a defining moment. I've kept a lot of them alive so far. But I worry that we will run into trouble that will be too much for us.
It eventually happened with my brother. But before that, the biggest trouble we had was being caught in a mudslide. Or causing a mudslide. It's hard to remember exactly. The local magistrate tried to blame us, but we were already on our horses and so that made escape easy. And it's not like anyone died. We just managed to damage the blacksmith shop. Of course, that was Earth. I doubt I'll be back there again.
