But before he dropped, Jacob had decided to make a quick detour into the great hall for a bit to eat. Sure Mr. Despera had bought him a butter beer, but he was still starving.
Jacob made his way to the ravenclaw table all the way at the end, closest to the Staff table. And Looked down at the little sections of snacks laid out for people to come by and pick at.
He was about to take a few sugar cookies, when he heard a bunch of yelling, and looked up at the staff table. "Can You Guys Calm Down! I'm Trying To Eat!" he yelled at them. "I Already Have A Headache. I Don't Need You Guys To Make It Worse!"
He had no idea what they were doing, and frankly he didn't care. He just wanted to eat in peace, and collapse in a quiet corner somewhere that no one would bother him for a long long time, And-
Wait... Was that a sword?
Glick's head gave a sharp turn to the other tables as one of the lubbers got to yelling at 'em.
"This ship ain't no place for the lubbers!" he yelled back, shaking his sword at the boy. He looked down, remembering he wasn't on the ship but in some castle and on some table.
"...and this table ain't either, ye wee lad!" Text Cut: PhoenixRising

But curiosity got the best of her, which as she opened the doors, her hazel eyes bulged in shock. There was shouting and was that a sword in some of their hands? Oh well at least Seren was here, who seemed to have retained her sanity even if no one else didn't. Instead of her customary seat at the one end, Fina slid into the seat next to the Herbology Professor and gave a quick smile. "I didn't know there was a show going on with dinner. I would have made it a point to arrive earlier. Have I missed much?"
"Arrr!" Glick yelled, raising his sword toward a second woman who'd taken a seat at the table. He turned his head toward the first mate.
"What's with the lubbers, me Jack o' Cups? There's three of 'em 'round here!" He eyed them suspiciously, wondering which one of them could possibly be after the treasure, as well.

"How Dare You Charge At An Unarmed Man!" he yelled after her at the top of his lungs.
This was insanity. He had spotted the plant professor shake her head, but did stop to ask why. This was beginning to become just stupid. Silly kids, they were going to get themselves hurt. He understood when they tried to talk like pirates, but now this was just plain stupid, they were going to get themselves killed... they were playing with real swords.
But to be quite honest, he had seen fighting like this before. They seemed to be moving like they actually knew what they were doing... like they actually knew how to handle a sword.

Jacob took a quick look around for something to transfigure. Surely there had to be another knife... but then a shiny sword caught his eye. He quickly unholstered his wand, and with a quick flick, the Sabre that someone had dropped zoomed towards him. He put his wand back and caught the Sabre as it flew his way.
Jacob tossed it from hand to hand, trying to get a feel for the weight of the Curved Sabre.
A smile grew across his face. "I haven't used one of these in a while." he said to no one in particular.
Really he had no idea why they were taking the little game this far... but really he thought it had gone far enough. Someone was going to get hurt, and he hoped... he truly wished that the harm would come at his hands. Jacob steady the sword in his left hand.
"Make your move, ya scoundrel!" he offered the first attack to the girl... he was a gentleman after all.
"The lubbers are after me treasure!" he suddenly yelled, noticing the wee little lad had drawn a sword, as well. He stomped down the table and closer to the boy.
"Whose yer Captain, boy? I ain't seen you 'round the waters we sail on." He was a right landlubber, though, Mad Jasper was sure of.
"It's this one!" he yelled.
"This one's after the treasure!" He raised his sword to the boy and started slashing it about.
