Christmas on the Pearl

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.

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" An apt way of putting it perhaps, if a little sacrilegious for the day.

Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-21 08:53 pm (UTC)"And I was out there anyway" her hand gestured vaguely farther upon the lake. "I'm sorry if it bothers you though...I'll try to behave"
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-21 08:57 pm (UTC)"I'm Gibbs. Happy Christmas." He tries to find some cheer.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-22 12:49 pm (UTC)Less chance of upsetting him more that way.

Date: 2006-12-22 04:38 pm (UTC)"Much more better."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-22 04:53 pm (UTC)That and she'd never really learned it proper herself. So, she just grinned, though it was a shadow laced expression...and hesitantly offered a hug. Tofu...
Well, it left a mark.

Date: 2006-12-22 05:13 pm (UTC)"Ah, luv." The rough tone is rueful and wry. "Quite an adventure we've had, aye?"
Re: Toasts
Date: 2006-12-22 05:15 pm (UTC)"Now that man there could tell you all about them, too." He shrugs, offering a wicked grin.
"Just have to know how to look."

Date: 2006-12-22 05:23 pm (UTC)"That doesn't answer my question though" she poked him gently in the side. "And I promise when you do, I'll go ask Gibbs the same thing"
She will, to. She was always curious about how people saw things...
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-22 05:26 pm (UTC)She leaned thankfully into the hug, and yes, she even put up with the kiss, though there were very few who could get away with such...
"Another one to remember and change about a bit when the stories build" she agreed. "I'm trying to convince myself that it wasn't so bad."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-22 05:30 pm (UTC)Jack flashes a quick grin at him.
"Happy Christmas, Mr. Gibbs."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-22 05:34 pm (UTC)"Almost feels like a proper Christmas here. Was always too warm in Tortuga for December. I don't miss winters much, but Christmas should be chilly." Not cold, or snowy, but certainly not sunny like it's still July.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-24 01:48 am (UTC)"There's snow." Jack slants a curious look at Gibbs, adding, "Don't tell me you actually like snow?"

Date: 2006-12-24 01:53 am (UTC)"Too bright to be a star, savvy? But it puts me in mind of a special sort of star I saw once, a long time gone."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-24 06:03 am (UTC)She arrives, late but entirely unapologetic for it, slightly out of breath. Nearly seven months pregnant with triplets, it's a miracle she made it this far. Or so she tells herself to feel better about the effort it takes.
"Gibbs!" she exclaims, flashing both captain and first mate a mischievous grin. "I'm ever so pleased to see you."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-24 06:14 am (UTC)She has puzzled over those words ever since receiving the invitation. At first, she assumed it was a mistake.
And then, she wondered if it was a trap.
Currently, she's both bemused and suspicious, looking around with a stubborn expression that dares anyone to question her presence.
Perhaps she should have waited for Will.
