pirate_gibbsThe 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.

Bastard.
"Yes. You are not so slow as all that. It is impressive."

"You have a singular way of speaking."

It might be a warning.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:29 pm (UTC)"What do you mean?"
He really is remarkable, she thinks, taking the time to study this face.
And it's rather a nice face.

"Only that, I think, in some places I do not so much bother to hide."

"Particularly when you can do... what you do. Although that's not really hiding. Just how many faces do you wear, Raven?"
Re: Arrivals

"The pastel polar bear, I think, was not one for lasting."
He sounds regretful about that.

Date: 2006-12-27 09:54 pm (UTC)"I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I wish I could've seen that," she says, and maybe there's a hint of a smile lurking about her lips. "Doesn't it ever get confusing?"
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:55 pm (UTC)He does not look wistful, not quite.
"But I am always learning, so."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 10:06 pm (UTC)"Only a fool wouldn't continue to learn," she remarks. "Even then, mistakes are repeated. And you do not strike me as a fool. Rather the opposite."
