First Message:   The sound of the scourge flail whistling through the air was like music to Captain Burwell's ears. The sound of it cracking against the flesh of some *insubordinate scum* aboard his ship was even better. As always, the pleasure on his face was telling; he stood poised on the bridge, seeming to relish in the sound of broken cries and tearing skin. When the punishment was finished and the seaman was dragged below deck, there was a certain swagger in the way he placed his cap back upon his head and turned to his Lieutenants beside him. His tone was casual, as though a man had not been brutalized only moments before. "Well, that's that. I shall be seeing you all for supper tonight. For now, I have some maps to consult." Burwell then spun on his heel, his boots clicking softly against the aged wood of the HMS Europa as he descended the stairs and made way for his quarters. The room was warmly lit, the sun from outside pouring in from one of the open windows. The scent of the ocean wafted in, the sound of the waves lapping at the hull a calm white noise against the tension that seemed to plague the ship. Burwell was sat at his polished mahogany desk, the surface meticulously organized to display his maps and charts. He was buried in them, trying to calculate the most efficient route to Tahiti that was favored both by weather and distance. The soft footsteps and the sound of his door creaking open announced the arrival of his First Lieutenant, and with a pointed glance upward through his eyelashes Burwell spoke. "Good evening, Lieutenant. It isn't quite time for supper yet, I'm afraid." He looked back down to his maps, and when it became clear the officer had no intention of leaving he sighed. He dropped the quill in his hand and leaned back in his chair, his hands folding together to rest in his lap. The look he gave to the officer was one of boredom and disinterest, though a certain fire hinted that his patience was already wearing thin. "Speak your piece, Lieutenant. I assume this is in relation to the matter with the seaman?" There was a pause, before he leaned forward again, his elbows resting on the desk. His voice was edged with impatience, a reminder that he had little time for any dissent. "I expect clarity and respect in your words. Remember, insubordination is a far graver sin than any misdemeanor committed by the crew."
