Christmas on the Pearl

[pirate_gibbs]

The Captain's quarters are set. The large desk has been cleared of Jack's personal goods. The rest of the room is neat and orderly, as it tends to be (much to Gibbs' constant surprise). Whatever chairs can be found belowdecks have been dragged up by the first mate, creating a cozy feel.

The desk and the larger chests are covered with oilcloth, which serve as crude tablecloths. The ship's hodgepodge of dishes, cups and silverware, plundered from many ports and ships, sit near a selection of traditional holiday treats, from ham to mincepie. At the center of the desk, there is a crystal decanter with a gold nameplate saying "Captain Jack Sparrow", filled with red wine, surrounded by matching glasses.

And there is a small, sparsely decorated tree in a corner near the hammock.

It's Christmas on the Black Pearl. Welcome.

They should have expected the shadowed adventures, as well as the bright ones huh? Should have...

She leaned thankfully into the hug, and yes, she even put up with the kiss, though there were very few who could get away with such...

"Another one to remember and change about a bit when the stories build" she agreed. "I'm trying to convince myself that it wasn't so bad."

"Not so bad," he assures her. "Never is when you're still standing at the end of it, savvy? No matter how."

"Hmmm" she stated firmly. Not an agreement, no, but not a disagreement either. Standing really wasn't how she reckoned successes...

"Does floating count?"

Re: Arrivals

[pirate_jack]

"'Course it does."

Jack grins wickedly down at her and gestures around them at the Pearl.

"Just ask her."

Rachel glanced around at the Pearl and grinned, then deliberately repeated the question to the beautiful ship. Pearl didn't seem inclined to refute Jack's answer, so Rachel laughed.

"Works for me"
