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.

Legal Drinking Ages are a modern invention, both Wellard and Jack would point out. Wellard just tends to avoid alcohol for his own reasons- He gives Jack a wry, but grateful smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Jack grins wickedly at them both, and then makes a grand gesture, swaying slightly from side to side as he does.

"It's this way."

Hannah kind of suspects Jack wouldn't have worried too much about them even if they had existed in his time.

Also the grin is slightly, well, not unsettling, but something that means almost but not entirely something else entirely.

"Are you having a good Christmas, Captain Sparrow, now that you're back to being a pirate, and not a yuppie."

The two are remarkably similar, only with fewer eyepatches and more button-down collars for the latter than the former.
