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.

"So she is."

He doesn't even so much as glance her way -- although oddly enough, he knows exactly where she is.

"Didn't see the need of explaining to Gibbs why she might be more better suited to stay on shore."

"I could explain," Alanna volunteers cheerfully. That particular look in her bright eyes has been termed both dangerous and unsettling. "After all, it's a real shame she got that communicable disease. The pox, wasn't it? Terrible how it addled her brain. At least she stopped pretending she's a mermaid?"

Smiling slyly, Alanna shifts her gaze to the night sky.
