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!

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.]
That one au, you're welcome.
It's been a dream, to have that title, since the days of Master Barbossa, who was quick with a chart and could find a heading easier than most. Master Barbossa, who'd been a monkey in the rigging because of his height, too tall for any other grunt work, until the storm that had tangled him in the lines and snapped his leg, leaving him with his slight limp.
Those days are over now, however, finally paying off with his own ship sitting in port, a trim little schooner called Cobra. He's not necessarily wild over the name, but as of yet he hasn't come up with anything better, and it is a lot of trouble to go through renaming. So Cobra it will be, until the muse strikes.
But this is his first trip ashore, with that new title, and there's more to it than running off to the taverns to blow his gold on swill and women to celebrate his good fortune. It's he that has to make sure the ship is well-provisioned for the next jaunt. It's he that has to make sure new crew is found and signed on. In truth, now that he's looking at all the work ahead of him before he himself cuts loose, he can most certainly understand why most captains are foul-tempered wretches without an ounce of humor in them.
But he's not going to go that route. He's determined he's going to enjoy the work, as well as the play, because it's exactly what he's worked so hard to obtain.
So there is most definitely a bounce in his step, as he makes his way down the docks toward the town proper. Provisions, crew, and then perhaps a night in the tavern and a room at the inn on the other end of town...And perhaps a bath, he reflects, taking in the frayed, dingy cuff of his shirt peeking from his coat. Definitely a bath, and with the gold jingling in his pocket some new clothes.
He can afford that now, and that in and of itself is mind-boggling.]
