Welcome aboard ! // Bienvenue à bord !

The party

*The crew is on the desk, in the setting sun, and is celebrating the discovery of an important treasure... With a lot of rhum, of course !*

Calypso : Let's celebrate this success like we should, me hearties !

*A pirate takes out a violin, another a drum, and a last a concertina [Like an accordion, but smaller]. They start to play a happy and lively tune. The captain jumps on a boxes' pile, and accompanies them, singing.*

Calypso : *Singing*

The Diamond is a ship, me' lads for the Davis Strait we're bound

The quay it is all garnished, with bonnie lasses 'round

Captain Thompson gives the orders, to sail the ocean wide

Where the sun it never sets, me' lads, nor darkness dims the sky

Crew : *Happily singing, raising up their tankard, clinking them to each other and drinking*

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

*Lyra and Lance join the pirates' round, and dance with them as the music plays. Alianor and Zach watch them having fun, but not joining the festivities. The two friends notice them, and decide to act. The Royal Guard takes his boss's hand, and Lyra the thief's hand, dragging them off the center of the round.*

Calypso : *Singing*

Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around

With shawls all pulled around them and the sault tears runnin' down

Well, don't you weep my bonnie lass, though you'll be left behind

For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind

Crew : *Singing and dancing in a round*

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

*Some smiles appear on Zach's and Alianor's surly faces, as they're dragged off the pirates' euphoric and chaotic dance. Lance and Lyra share a smile, pleased that their plan to entertain their friends had worked.*

Calypso : *Singing*

Here's a health to the resolution [Everyone : HEY !] likewise Eliza Swan

Three cheers for the Battle of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame

We wear the trousers o' the white and jackets of the blue

When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts enou'

*Lyra and Lance sing along with the pirates. Alianor and Zach give them a surprised look, like they've become crazy, then turn to each other, shrugging their shoulders, not understanding how the two enthusiasts could learn the lyrics that fast. They decide to try to sing along, to not look out of place in the cheerful scenery.*

Everyone : *Singing*

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

*Lyra separates from her friends and dances with the crew members, going from pirates' arms to pirates' arms in a mad rhythm, following music's one.*

Crew and Calypso : *Singing*

It will be bright both day and night, when Greenland lads come home

Our ship full up with oil, me' lads, and money to our name

We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear

And every lass in Peterhead sing "Hushabye, my dear"

*Calypso jumps out of the boxes and joins the dance floor, cheered by her crew. It's her turn to go from dance-partner to dance-partner, meeting sometimes her friends as she changes partners. The night falls, and the moon's reflections are reflected on the sea, as a bunch of silver speck. The lanterns on the ship are lit as the party continues on the deck.*

Everyone : *Singing*

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up, me' lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale

*Everyone stops to dance as the last music notes fly away in the wind. The pirates look at each other, salute themselves and, in a last scream of joy, shout out a great and proud "HEY !" before bursting into laughter.*

Calypso : *With a smile* So ? How did you find the festivities ? Were they to your taste ? That's sure that it's not the kind of activities you're used to in town, aren't you ?

Lance : We could say that you, pirates, know how to party !

Zach : *Mocking* Yeah, yeah, well, that's not too bad... I've seen better in some post-burglary parties among thieves, but well... We could say that you're not doing too bad...

*Lyra shares a knowing look with Lance, and pretends to pass out in his arms.*

Lyra : *Shocked* Oh my god...

Zach : *Without understanding* What ? What's happening ?

Lyra : *Overacting the shock* Zach made... a positive... criticism ? He said... some good... about something ?

Alianor : *Really serious* Who are you, what did you do with Zach and do you need help to hide the body ?

*Everyone burst into laughter. Zach gives them a dark look, absolutely NOT amused.*

Zach : *Threatening* Ha. Ha. Very funny. Really. Laugh as you can, you'll be less amused when I'll get my revenge. I'll not miss you...

*The others share a silent look during a few seconds, holding back a laugh, to not offend their friend. But they quickly get another hysterical laughter. The thief looks at them, rolls his eyes and leaves, letting them laugh in-between themselves.*

Zach : *With a sincere smile, holding back a laughter* Pfffff... That idiots...
