Threads of more than two are welcome and encouraged.
 

1.  Boarded:  Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured!  Better hope the other captain gives quarter.  Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim.  That plank was made for walking.

2.  Victory:  You've captured another ship!  You knew those extra cannons would come in handy.  And let's hope they've got lots of swag!  Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3.  Swab the decks:  You're a cabin boy!  It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right?  Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4.  Marooned:  For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood.  As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions.  Where are you?  And who's that already on the shore?

5.  Buried Treasure:  Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one.  Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship?  Better make sure it's you.

6.  Rum:  Rum, everywhere. 

7.  Swordfight:  It's that person you can't stand!  And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without!  Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever.  Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8.  Mutiny:  The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter.  There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it.  The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9.  Kidnapping:  Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows.  Brings a tear to your eye, it does.  Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10.  Take a Gamble:  Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once!  You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea:  You are now a Mermaid/Merman!  That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms.  Don't forget that they can't breathe under water!  You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12.  Enemy from the Deep:  What was that?  Did you feel that?  An unseen enemy is about to take this ship swiftly to the bottom of the ocean.  Giant squid, enormous whales, sea serpents . . . hope you make it.

13.  The Doldrums:  Can you say cabin fever?  The sails haven't moved in weeks.  You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom.  And hopefully find some food and water.  Don't squabble over it, now.

14.  The Brig:  Something you did has gotten you imprisoned in the very depths of this ship.  How long until you see your next meal?  When you see who put you here again, you'll make them pay.  Hold on, maybe there's someone else here too.

OR

Make up your own!  Arrrrr!

[DID SOMEONE SAY CANON PIRATES]

PIRATE BRIDE (also possibly 12)

[psalmed]

[Truthfully, Lia has never really liked sailing. It's efficient. But you have access to so little luggage and only a few days in, she feels she has read every book taken with her and the ship becomes even smaller than it was when they left harbor.]

The next time, monsieur, I believe I shall choose our holiday.

[Diplomatic mission. Whatever.]

4!!

[jackdaws]

[Edward has a lot of bad habits he really ought to get out of in his life, but the only one he'd agree with is his tendency to get thrown overboard and washed up onto shores unknown. Even so, apparently the sea still doesn't want to claim his soul just yet: he has hazy memories of a storm, telling his crew to unload cargo and tie themselves down... But before he could do the same for himself, a wave flung him from the ship and into the water.

The rest is a blur of latching onto the first piece of driftwood he could find, and falling unconscious.

Squinting in the hot morning Caribbean sun, he pulls himself up to his knees, coughing up seawater, then staggers unsteadily onto the beach. Time to see if any of the others had been washed the same way by the wind and the currents.]

Jack Sparrow | those canonly pirate movies

[pistolproof]

[ come, let him teach you how to pirate ]

7!

[jackdaws]

[Why teach Edward Kenway of all people how to pirate, when Edward Kenway can teach you a thing or two about how to pirate Assassin? Edward had found Jack in Tortuga in one of the taverns. It was a simple matter to rifle his pockets for his broken compass, when the man was distracted by a big-eyed busty wench and a few drinks too many. Edward made off with the compass, but he never expected Sparrow to go to these lengths to track him back down again.

There's no point in running any further, as entertaining as the chase has been, so Edward draws his dual cutlasses, and grins.]

A fight over a little broken trinket, is it? Never has such a petty battle been fought amongst pirate kind.

[That grin suggests Edward knows exactly what this compass does, though, and he's not about to surrender it.]

Shay Patrick Cormac | Assassin's Creed: Rogue

[morrioghain]

[NOTORIOUS PIRATE HUNTER. Here to kill arrest everyone for trial and generally rain on your parade, lawbreakers.]

14!!!

[allblades]

[ The Styx is meant to be a fortress among pirate vessels, so it comes as rather a surprise when they're ambushed and boarded. And even more of one when it's not the Morrigan that did it. To spare her crew of girls, Meisai cheerfully surrenders and pays her own parole. After all, what prison can hold an improvised fighter?

The reason for it not being the Morrigan is made apparent when Meisai is summarily shown into her new quarters in the navy brig, and that infamous ship's equally infamous captain is already there.

Well. She's in significantly better humour as she settles on the damp floor than she was up on deck. ]

If it isn't the hunter boy! Would you like the good news first, or the bad?

Shoryu | Twelve Kingdoms

[goodtobetheking]

[ well he used to be a pirate lord so let's run with that. ]

2 And I guess En is having pirate problems???

[choseanidiot]

8Hope Shoryu won't be too disappointed when the only thing in the captain's quarters happens to be a young boy with a rather funny-looking headwrap.

He also looks pretty disgusted. Or thoroughly pissed off, it's hard to tell.]

This was your solution? This? [The boy glares, bright eyes narrowed into near slits, arms crossed over his chest.] I guess I should've guessed. I'd rather thought you be lying around in a cell like the useless bum you are.

[Nevermind he was going to give you an easy way out if you actually were.]

Spain | Axis Powers Hetalia

[apasionado]

[ remember that time he ruled the seas? ]

Ratonhnhaké:ton / Connor | Assassin's Creed III

[lifescratched]

[Privateer and explorer, seeking the lost treasure of Captain William Kidd.

His grandfather may or may not have been a legendary pirate WHO KNOWS]

Davy Jones | POTC

[doyoufeardeath]

[HE JUST WANTS YOUR SOUL NO BIG DEAL]

#12 Yeah, he learned why that's a bad idea thanks to your girlfran. Sorry, bro. Excuse my tl;dr.

[belaying]

[He hasn't physically laid eyes on Davy Jones since Teague and the members of the previous Court present in Shipwreck Cove at the time had summoned him onto the deck of Teague's ship, to get to the bottom of the sinking of Hector's long lost ship, Cobra. He'd wanted to ask, at the time, if Jones had made deals with the dead and dying of Hector's own crew, the day the Cobra slipped beneath the surface of the sea, taking his beloved little Polly with it, but at the time things had happened so fast, and Jones had been and gone before he'd gotten the chance.

Something that's nearly twenty years in the past, and he can faithfully say that Jones's appearance is no less grotesque with the passage of that time. Not frightening, of course. Especially not now, that he's done time as his own version of something that goes bump in the night (and thankful he is, the curse is broken, while he stands here with his bad knee throbbing like a son of a bitch where he's locked it). But skeletons and Jones are two separate things.

The deck of the Pearl is empty, and Hector himself has just returned from the disastrous meeting that has seen Elizabeth Swann elected Pirate King, his blood still up with the slight sting of betrayal at Jack's completely unpredictable move. He shouldn't be surprised. Not by Jack, not by Elizabeth turning up with a Piece of Eight (he'd bartered her onto Sao Feng's ship, after all), and perhaps...Not Jones, either.

They're probably all going to die, come dawn. He knows that. And he knows there's no regret like a risk not taken, as he loosens the lock of his knee to stroll casually across the deck in the direction of his quarters.]

Aye, and to what do I owe the pleasure- [His tone suggests it's anything but.] Of Beckett's lapdog paying a visit to me ship, then.

[wallhanging]

Chewie! I thought you said you replaced the throat halyard! This line's half-rotted through! [ Pirate Captain Solo, half-up the mast and fiddling with the rigging. The Millenium Falcon, a modest sloop with its gaff rigging, but with a hull so smooth she skims across the seas like nobody's business.

Well, except Han's pirating and smuggling business, but that is a different sort of story. ] We'll be luck if the the line doesn't snap before we can get into port. And you know Lando always charges too much.
