Drabble challenge for enchant: Justifiable Homicide

Oct 28, 2005 16:07

from the personal log of Anamaria du Monde, first mate of the Black Pearl

I'm goin' ta kill 'im. This is Jack's last turn at the wheel of the Black Pearl unless he stows singin' that bloody song.

"It's a sea shanty, Anamaria. Enchanting little ditty, init?"

It's a brat's babble that high-toned chit taught him on the island, and wouldn't we all love ta know just what he taught her in return?

"Leave off, Jack; it's been six hours and 'tis not like ye even know the words."

"I do, I do know the words!
'We pillage and plunder and...and...mutter and scoot.
'Drink up, me hearties, yo ho.
'We have a banana; it grows from a root.
'Yo ho yo ho.'
"See?"

I see, right enough. If Gibbs can parley him into keepin' the racket to four hours a day, well and good. If not, it's Davy Jones' Locker for Captain Jack Sparrow.
