A majestic, shimmering, black pirate ship sits upon the water. Its numerous cannons give it a menacing look. Tons of pirates hop upon its decks in a furious jig. The lone captain plods around in his cabin, plotting on where to seize his treasure next.
Pirate Ship, Port
captive
a young boy who is a deck hand
I am the son of the ship's captain. I am being trained to take over for my father when is no longer able to drive the boat safely. For now, I'm a deck hand and I work just as hard as the other deck hands.
My father only takes captive's who do belong here. So, why are you the exception? He simply must have mistaken me for somebody else! I'm an innocent man! I have a family!  Lots of men who aren't innocent have a family. Ah, a master of logic you think yourself to be. Alas, I'm just a simple ship builder in the wrong place at the wrong time. I went to go consult with a client and before I knew it your father and his men were taking me captive!  Well.. we are pirates. Of course. But I had no association with these people, they had merely asked me about building them a new ship. I didn't know the type of people they were. You have to help me!  Where did you get this? Please! I have scurvy!  Fine, I will allow you to have it back, but you do belong here. How can you be so sure of that?  Because my father is the captain, and he's very smart! Of course, and since he is smart he couldn't have possibly made a mistake right? Surely someone as interested in logic as yourself can see that simply isn't valid.
