[We Interrupt Your Usual RP to Bring You... International Talk Like a Pirate Day!]

[kirktastic]

It was morning on the Enterprise, and it came with the slow creaking of wood deck around him, swelling in the heat of the morning, the sound of waves against the sides of the ship. Definitely a damn good way to wake up.

Even better was waking up between two warm bodies, one pressed to either side of him. On one side was his cabin boy, a young buck with a foolish head but a pleasing face and tongue. On the other, his first mate, a smug, stoic, uptight, ridiculously intelligent bastard who he had finally talked into ...sharing his bed. At least in the physical sense. He'd won the argument that the captain's bed was the most comfortable place on the ship, but anything beyond that was met with a pointed look and a reach for the sword hilt.

It was a damn good life here on the Enterprise.

He was Captain James T. Kirk of the pirate ship Enterprise, the most feared name on the open seas. He ran his crew with a mixture of charm, command, and the point of his sword. He was a good swordsman, a better brawler, and decent with a flint lock.

"Oddly nostalgic, much to my surprise," Leonard responded. "Then again, just wait until we hit not so smooth sailing, and I bet you I'll remember in an instant why I used to hate being at sea," he added, with a wry smile.

"Aye." Well, it was fairly inevitable; there was no such thing as an ocean crossing that didn't involve some foul weather. Regardless, both the captain and the mate were exceptionally good sailors. And the Grey... Scotty had the utmost faith in her seaworthiness.
