The Twin Sparrows

Prisoners of Queen Anne's Revenge

Queen Anne's Revenge No POV

Jack was sleeping on a hammock as his hat was missing and then he got thrown off getting woken up.

Man; show a leg, sailor!

Jack: aye, sir. What?

Jack stands up as he follows everyone else.

Jack: there's been a horrible mistake.

Man; keep moving.

Jack: I'm not supposed to be here:

Scrum: many a man's woken up a sea, no idea what, when, wherefore or why. No memory of the night afore, whence he signed up and drank away all his bonus money.

Jack: no, no, no. You don't understand, mate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. The original. The only.

Scrum; Scrum, and the pleasure's all mine. Now, keep moving.

Jack and Scrum were in charge of mopping the floor with others in the lower deck.

Jack: Scrum. <gestures his head somewhere>

Scrum; <gets closer>

Jack: why is there a glass coffin?

Scrum; do I look like a man in charge?

Jack: where am I?

Scrum: 'scuse me, Captain Sparrow, sir. I be right honored to welcome you aboard our world-renowned vessel of infamy, Queen Anne's Revenge.

Jack: Blackbeard.

The Queen Anne's Revenge was already in open water's as some pirates were whipping some other pirates into working harder. They were all scrubbing the floor.

Jack; he's a serious one.

Scrum; he's been zombiefied.

Jack: eh?

Scrum; zombified. Blackbeard's doing. All of the officers are the same. Makes 'em more compliant.

One of the zombies cracks his whip.

Jack; and perpetually ill-tempered.

Zombie: <looks at him>

Scrum: come on. Scrub.

They all continued working.

Jack; five days underway, at least.

Scrum; aye. You can tell that by the smell of the sea?

Jack: smell of the crew. <ties a knot and looks up> oi. What did that poor sod do? And how can I make sure to not?

Scrum; him? Churchly fellow. Always going on about the Lord Almighty.

Jack: Bible-thumper on this ship?

Scrum; a missionary is his story. What I heard was he got captured in a raid. Rest of the ship got killed, but not 'im. First mate wouldn't let it happen on account of his premier standing with the Lord. A first mate sticking her neck out for some prisoners. That you don't see.

Jack: "her"? First mate is a "her"?

Zombie: back to work!

Jack looked at where the wheel was and saw Angelica commanding the other zombies.

Angelica: steady as she goes.

Jack: "prisoners"?

Down at the brig, Kade and Kate were locked up and not put to work with the rest of the crew as Kade had Jack's hat.
