@Rhodesian_YuKari @KashKustomer The bar was on a boat or next to one, duh.>Victorian England GentlemanTerritorial peak of Bri'ish empire which also included quite a bit of land near the land of Rising Sun, their quality of food and the beauty of their women made the best sailors out of 'em. Tourist of some sort in search for adventure.>Old West GunslingerHe's on a boat, with guns, a gunboat you could call it even. Powered by steam. He's there as a hired gun, a helping hand, on a break drinking a stiff drink.>Disgraced Former SamuraiHe got kicked off the island or he's on the docks.>Elderly French PirateHe's there to make motor noises with a french accent

@dieulast @KashKustomer Now that's a satisfying, thought out response. You Kiwifarmers don't disappoint, at least, I don't recall any time any of you lads did.

@dieulast @Rhodesian_YuKari San Fran, NYC, London, maybe even a Med portThese types of characters did mosey and mingle, Japs for instance did make it to California and Europe in these times, really any combination of 'lol got on a boat and now I'm here' worksThe Frenchie and the Ronin meet in Fiji and now smuggle by boat. They meet the Victorian and the Cowboy, who met in Chicago and the limey pilfers the rich guys while Cowpoke is the wheelman and firepower, they meet during a debacle in which the landlubbers try to smuggle the Maltese Falcon out of (into?) San Francisco.This is already better than Lord of the Kangs or She Hulk.

@dieulast @Rhodesian_YuKari At first they play teams trying to fuck the other guys over, then they realize their common client, Irving Schlomo, is the real fat target, and a supergroup is born.

@KashKustomer @dieulast Indeed, which is why I'm depressed that all attempts at IRL roleplaying has failed for me, either without or partially being my fault.

@LordMordred @dieulast @KashKustomer The gunslinger, thief and Samurai each know English. The former two know it because it's their native tongue, though each speak a variant of it, the Samurai knows a little because Commodore Perry forced their ports open some time ago and it would be shameful to not know how to communicate with the people ripping off your merchants.Nobody understands the French guy, but he tags along because he's a faggot and they tolerate him so long as he maintains a distance of at least 10 feet.

@Rhodesian_YuKari @KashKustomer @LordMordred The only people allowed to trade with nips for a long time around that time were Dutch and Chinese, and there was a lot of cultural trade between them so I can see a samurai speaking Dutch and/or Chinese. During that time also a century of shame in China was underway because of the opium trade, and Philippines as well thanks to the East India companies (both dutch and english) lubricating it all.Around that time both companies were facing disintegration, Dutch one more so, and so around 1820s so there were plenty of opportunistic merchants trying to strongarm their way into getting the highest market share, and the area of activity of DEI was treated as a proxy French colony at the Java islands, so the pirate could've been a strongly mercenary dude who was hitting that grindset with his buddies who were evilmaxxing.Frenchie was on a world tour, doing pirate stuff and on the side was being a total fr**chie for a merchant lord who ruined the samurai's life, not like he cared, until that said merchant lord started to cut his losses once he realized that keeping the pirates in his company has started to turn into a small inconvenience.Displaced samurai goes out on a hunt up the ladder to get everyone who was involved, only to buddy up with the f****ch thanks to their mutual hatred for the merchant lord. Both down on their luck and destitute, they're going for one of cultural and trade hubs aka port cities to set out for their next step of the master plan. One lad is fighting for honour, other for money.The pirate knows where the lordling and the money is, and is starting to assemble a team as a final fuck you, he's going to retire rich and there's nothing to stop him save for old age.

@dieulast @Rhodesian_YuKari @KashKustomer @LordMordred There's a heavy Dutch influence on early settler politics, Leiden was a safehaven for English Protestants for a time before they left for America -- article here for some context https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:C1NjdVolmL8J:https://fee.org/articles/the-pilgrims-in-holland/&cd=15&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Considering also the vast influence of the dutch east india company had on american politics and monopolies at the beginning of America it's surprising that more people don't speak Dutch, certain American philosophers were educated in the Netherlands (John Locke being one)The French have almost always been allies with the Netherlands, it's common to see portions of French coastland towns to have an established place in festivals for the Dutch, where they sell gouda and other typical Dutch things. samurai I don't know much about, but a story of a disgraced samurai fleeing on a merchant dutch vessel sounds possible (and interesting). I think it'd be more likely they all spoke Dutch than english
