The fact that he's a pirate hasn't escaped Nick, and the idea would be more ridiculous if it weren't so much part of the concept here. They can pull anyone from any time in, so why not pirates?

Nick scoffs, but the dour look is soon replaced by something of a smile and he lifts his drink in turn. "That's the best damn idea I heard all week. You know what? I'll drink to it?" And he does. He takes a sizable draw from his glass and sets it down.

"Names Nick, by the way. How about you, Long John Silver?" God, please don't let that be his actual name.
