Christmas on the Pearl
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.

Re: Arrivals
"It is, perhaps, part of the suspense, yes?"
Then he turns around in truth, grinning.
"You are, I hope, not so disappointed at the lack of breasts?"
Re: Arrivals
"No more than the lack of feathers, savvy? You're an interesting sort, however it is that you're looking."
Re: Arrivals
"Some people are for having fetishes, yes. It is not so bad a thing."
He might, it is wise to note, also be trying very hard not to laugh.
"And I am tricky. Likely it is part of my charm."
Re: Arrivals
He shakes his head, setting coins and reindeer bone to clattering, and grins at Raven as one hand dives into his pocket.
"Tricky's something else again."
Re: Arrivals
Raven wrinkles his nose.
"Being ridden, I think, is too much like a cage. Also sitting still is boring."
His shoulders twitch, and he follows the Jack's movement of hand to pocket.
"Sometimes tricky is several somethings, yes? It is better, so."
Re: Arrivals
"I'm not especially inclined to disagree with you about that, mate. No fun at all to sit still for too long."
Jack catches the sharp-eyed glance, and leaves his hand in his pocket as he offers a wickedly innocent grin back to Raven.
"Something the matter?"
Re: Arrivals
"I am not certain, yet."
He blinks at Jack, not quite batting his eyelashes.
"You, perhaps, are very tricky, too."
Re: Arrivals
Jack grins right back at him, and keeps his hand in his pocket.
