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
Date: 2006-12-27 09:16 pm (UTC)She had the urge to start floating out parts of the meal to see how much Raven could manage to make disappear before people noticed...
"Has anyone ever timed you eating?" she asked curiously.

Date: 2006-12-27 09:23 pm (UTC)"I do not think it likely, no."
He wrinkles his nose, leaning forward a little.
"It is difficult, perhaps, because I am never not hungry, do you see?"
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:28 pm (UTC)"But taking that into account, it'd be interesting to see exactly how much you could eat..." she tilted her head to the side as she regarded him, an odd smile on her lips.

Date: 2006-12-27 09:30 pm (UTC)"Villages complain, I am thinking."
Sometimes entire countries.
Well. Once.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:35 pm (UTC)"We could weigh pounds of food out and set you at it..." then post the record in Bar and see if anyone else could beat it...
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:46 pm (UTC)Raven grins.
"But I cheat."
Sometimes.

Date: 2006-12-27 09:48 pm (UTC)"I just think it'd be hilarious to see who'd try to beat your record"
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:56 pm (UTC)"Now that, I think, would make it very much worth the effort, yes?"
Maybe not today, because eating all the Pearl's supplies would be bad, but--
