Lively Havana

Lively Havana was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst in 2013 at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.

Description

Having arrived in Havana, Edward followed Stede Bonnet to a meeting, hoping to find a place to stay.

Dialogue

• Stede: Ah... lively Havana! I've been here once before. It was a truly awe-ful pleasure.
• Edward: See someone you know?
• Stede: No, no, no. Just putting on a friendly face. I shouldn't want to be mistaken for a pirate again.
• Edward: Right. Flash rogue like yourself must be cautious.
• Stede: It's mad to think Spain and England were at war two years ago, isn't it? Here I am, bartering with Spaniards like they were my cousins. Something wrong, Duncan?
• Edward: No. It's nothing. Sand in my hampers. So where's the best squat in town? I'm dying for a quick kip. Or a siesta, should I say?

Edward motioning Stede to lead

• Stede: Um... I'm just headed to a ... a public house now to meet some merchants. I could... I could show you the way.
• Edward: Well, lead on.
• Stede: I hope you'll tarry a bit while I conduct my meeting. It would be a great relief to have a man of your stature nearby. In case of a... misunderstanding.
• Edward: I can hang about. I might have a drink.
• Stede: Splendid. A drink.

Edward and Stede walked by some gibbet cages with skeletons inside.

• Stede: Gracious! What a revolting sight!
• Edward: Well they don't take kindly to pirates here, do they? Wonder how many stolen reales bought these men this perch?

They walked by a group of dancers.

• Edward: Hola (Hello) ladies.
• Stede: You don't know these women, do you?
• Edward: No, they charge money for that kind of privilege. Few dozen reales for every hour of knowing. Keen to meet them?
• Stede: No! Goodness no. I am a married man!
• Edward: Married men are their forte, mate.

• Stede: Ah! Here's a purveyor of personal defences! I should acquire a blade for myself, Duncan. Just as you have.
• Edward: This rusty razor's nothing to admire.
• Stede: Even so, I appear a mere kitten walking so close upon you. Perhaps a small dagger would suit me. Let's see what he's selling.
• Edward: Maybe I'll buy a sword too, we'll both jump rank.
• Stede: Ah, we'll be quite the pair, you and I. Twin devils!

• Stede: I should acquire a blade for myself, Duncan. Just as you have. Perhaps a small dagger would suit me. Oh, we'll be quite the pair, you and I! Twin devils!
• Edward: Maybe I'll buy a sword too, we'll both jump rank.

• Edward: Lend us a few reales then. I did save your skin.
• Stede: Ah, uh... of course!
• Edward: Cheers.

Edward bought a new pair of swords.

• Edward: That's a better fit for me. How'd you fare?
• Stede: I had only enough for a small knife, sadly. Still, it'll do in a pinch. Oh, puffer-duff... I have led us astray, Duncan.
• Edward: Oh, no matter. I'll get us a better view. What are we looking for?
• Stede: Uh, a tavern! With a sort of courtyard interior.

Edward climbed a church tower.

• Stede: My goodness, you are an agile chap!
• Edward: Every finger's a fishhook! That's how you tell a true sailor.
• Stede: Ah ha! Yes. A fine way to put it.

Edward surveying the area

Edward found a high spot and located the tavern.

• Edward: I think I see the place! We're not far.

Stede was set upon by a pickpocket.

• Stede: Ahh! Stop!
• Robber: Ah! ¡No te resistas, gordinflón! (Stop struggling, fatman!)
• Stede: ¡Para! ¡Para! (Stop! Stop!) Oh! He's robbed me blind! Good God, what do I do?
• Edward: Hang tight!
• Stede: Oh, I can't breathe. I think my heart has stopped.
• Edward: Stop or I'll break your knees when I catch you!
  I'm close at heel, shitbird!
  Here I come!
  Don't make me chase you into the harbor!

Edward chased and tackled the pickpocket.

• Edward: You robbed the wrong man, mate. A fellow with dangerous friends.

• Edward: That's a heavy purse, Mister Bonnet.

Edward returned to Bonnet.

• Stede: Duncan, by Jove, you're alive.
• Edward: Of course I am. That filch was no fuss.

They arrived at the tavern.

• Stede: Ah, we've arrived.

• Stede: Ah! Did you catch that rogue?
• Edward: Aye. And I'll be buying the first round with the money I pulled off him.
• Stede: Oh! Ah... wonderful. First my ship then my purse. It's twice you've saved me now, Duncan.
• Edward: Don't forget your skin, I saved that too.
• Stede: Thrice then! Very good!

A civilian pushed a loaded cart into position.

• Civilian: Out of the way!
• Stede: My word! Havana grows livelier all the time.
• Edward: Each funster we meet makes me more impatient to drink. Come on.
• Stede: This is the spot.
• Edward: The sea has much to offer, but a popping tavern always draws me back to shore.
• Stede: Popping... yes. I would normally prefer to conduct my affairs somewhere quieter...

They entered the tavern.

• Edward: Take your time. I'll be just here.
• Patron: Fancy meeting a Welshman deep in Dago country. I'm English meself. Biding my time 'til the next war calls me to service.
• Edward: Lucky King George having a piss-pot like you flying his flag.

A patron accusing Edward of piracy

• Patron: Oy! Skulk! I seen your face before. You's mates with them pirates down in Nassau.
• Edward: Shut your fucking gob or I fill it with shot. You hear me?
• Patron: Edward, is it?

Edward headbutted the man, then kneed him in the groin and tossed him onto a table, shattering it on impact and knocking him out.

• Man: You bastard!
• Edward: Hey, I warned him...

Another patron swung his fist into Edward's face, starting a bar brawl.

• Edward: You want a dust-up, I'll give you one.
  Come on lads! I've seen bigger arms on a bird!
  One more! Come on!

• Edward: You'll have to hit harder than that!
  One more! Come on!
  Come on lads! I've seen bigger arms on a bird!
  You want a dust-up, I'll give you one.
  I'm still standing, lads!

Several Spanish guards stormed into the tavern.

• Soldier 1: ¡Despejad la zona! (Clear the road!)
• Citizen 1: ¡Vienen soldados! (Soldiers are coming!)
• Citizen 2: ¡Corre! (Run!)
• Stede: You—You're not leaving me?
• Edward: I'll catch you up!
• Soldier 2: ¡Perro inglés! (English dog!)

OriginalResynced

Edward escaped from the Spanish soldiers.

Edward threw a smoke bomb and left the tavern.

• Edward: I've had all I can drink at present, lads. You go on without me.
  Look again, lobcocks.

Edward hid from the Spanish soldiers.

• Edward: Hopefully Stede wasn't pinched by those guards.

Outcome

After rearming himself with new swords and scouting the area, Edward stopped Stede from being robbed, but then left him in a tavern to escape from Spanish soldiers following a bar brawl.
