Hector Barbossa [Pirates of the Caribbean] Unseelie

[belaying]

001 - The Feast
[Somehow. Someway. Some unholy, without-a-doubt, with-absolute-certainty-and-conviction way, this is Jack Sparrow's fault. And it's not like he's making that accusation up out of thin air. No. Because when things get weird and things go pear-shaped, if a body digs deep enough, they'll find Sparrow right at the center of it, having unintentionally slighted some sea god or another, or meddling with some curse. Or trying to find immortality.

So, in short, this is all Jack's fault.

He doesn't care about the eternal war that reminds him of the cautionary tales his mother - a devout Irish Catholic woman with a pagan streak a mile wide (though she never realized it) - told him as a child to keep him and his siblings from straying too far into the waves. And he certainly doesn't care about one side or the other or who might eventually win because he holds no horse in this race and literally sees nothing in it for him.

No, his main concern is that the Black Pearl is missing, after all of his finagling to make sure it was he that left with her after battling the EITC, not Jack, and that in and of itself is what hs his breeches in a twist. Not to mention the absence of Jack the monkey, his beloved pet. And he's fairly certain that, somehow, that's Jack's fault, too.

So forgoing food completely, there he sits with drink in hand, keeping a sharp eye on the crowd for said low-down, dirty, belly-crawling, filthy, double-crossing, scallywag of a pirate, because as soon as he sees him, he's going to strangle him with his bare hands. So far, he hasn't seen him swagger through like he doesn't have a care in the world, but his Jack Sparrow senses are tingling, and despite his outwardly casual slouch, it's obvious to anyone who looks for more than half a second that he's wound tight about something.]

002 - Wildcard!
[Wherever, whenever, all over. Pick your own pirate scenario.]

[ Jack knows that look. He knows that look all too well. He'd been on the receiving end of it too many times to even count between the long years of being Captain and First Mate, and during their travels that ended with defeating Davy Jones and Cutler Beckett side by side. It's a look that promises certain death to him and him alone, unless he immediately gets out of sight and stays there until the urge of murder has receded to manageable levels.

Which, considering this is Hector, is extremely unlikely to happen any time soon.

And so, upon catching sight of Hector, Jack subtly and causally (subtly and casually) turns around and, with all the grace and poise that he can possibly possess on solid land, turns around and begins to walk the other way, hoping beyond hope that Hector has not caught sight of him yet.

Even if he has, Jack is confident in his abilities to outrun the older man. ]

[Barbossa is joined by a heavily-armed man who takes a seat opposite. Ordinarily, Connor isn't one to strike up conversation with a stranger for its own sake. But the way he's dressed is far more like what Connor is accustomed to seeing than most people in the hall. Even if they're not from the same place, or strictly the same time, it's at least nice to see some sense in all the madness here.

He debates trying some of the food, but decides against it. Being forcibly conscripted has left him without an appetite for the time being. Instead, he looks over to the pirate.]

Are you looking for someone?

[Looking for something, Captain? How about that precious ship you were wondering about? Because it's here.

Oh yes! It is here. In fact, he might have seen it come into Unseelie territory.. by means of flight. Yes, it FLIES. It flew right over the trees and through the clouds like a god damn GODDESS.

When it landed, there was a (literal) skeleton crew aboard, and low and behold, a very attractive woman was commanding the vessel.

Chloe disembarks the ship with every intention of attending the feast.]
