The Black Pearl is decked out with true holiday gaiety. Spell-driven St. Elmo's fire still dances along the yardarms, but the glow is even brighter now with the addition of white fairy lights strung along every available piece of rigging-- every one of them gleaming with festive cheer. Fairy lights also adorn the ropes that have been run from ( Read more... )

Even with the lowerdecks and office discreetly marked off limits, there's a lot of space on the pier, main deck, and quarterdeck to explore. (There's even plenty of room for dancing, and music does seem to be drifting in from somewhere!)

Some point later in the evening, Melaka wanders down to explore, with both food and wine still in hand. For some reason she's neither very drunk nor very full, but she'd really like to see what's down here.

James hasn't been dancing - not alone - and he's been on this ship before. But it's good to see the finished product. So he wanders up behind her, smiling.

"Nice to see you again, Melaka."

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 22:50:41 UTC

She's not surprised - he must be walking quite loudly, because she hears him coming long before he gets to her.

Nevertheless, she acts surprised and spins around to face him.

"James!" she says, standing on tiptoe to air kiss beside his cheek. "How are you?"

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 22:56:57 UTC

"I'm very well, thank you", he says. "And you?"

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:04:36 UTC

"Simply wonderful," she says. "I hoped to se you here."

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 23:09:20 UTC

"Did you now?" he says, amused. "Well, I wouldn't have missed it."

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:12:22 UTC

Melaka grins, and glances around them.

"It's an amazing venue, isn't it? Very authentic."

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 23:16:22 UTC

"He's certainly done a very good job", James agrees. "Or rather, his reconstruction crew have."

It's not as if Jack would do the work himself, after all.

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:22:02 UTC

"Haven't they?" She agrees. "You know him, then?"

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 23:27:28 UTC

"Not well. The firm have represented him a few times, so we've met, but..."

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:32:01 UTC

"Right," she agrees, looking back at him more fully. "You haven't had any direct dealings?"

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 23:35:03 UTC

"With his work? Only for the lesser cases and to greet him when he arrives for meetings on the bigger ones, that kind of thing."

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:44:02 UTC

"Oh?" Melaka steps back from him a little, looking at him with newly appraising eyes.

"I imagine this will change soon, though?"

Re: Entertainment scourgeofpiracy December 21 2006, 23:47:46 UTC

"Oh, I certainly have high hopes of it. If the Sheringham case goes as it should..."

Re: Entertainment slayer_fray December 21 2006, 23:57:00 UTC

Melaka smiles up at him, lifting her half empty glass to her lips.

"And have you had a time to look over the case with my suggestions?"
