Once more.... 1. No spamming! 2. No swearing! 3. Keep ALL posts to at least five sentences... 4. Stay in character at ALL times! 5. If you have a question or comment, ask it in the proper thread! 6. READ ALL POST PRETAINING TO YOU, OR WHERE YOU ARE VERY CLOSELY. SAVVY?! 7. Have fun Here's the plot. It's been three years since anyone has seen so much of a hair bead of Jack Sparrow. Port Royale has been practically devoid of all pirate activity, as Commodore Norrington and Govener Swann have noted. A small gift from Jack Sparrow. He and his daughter Rose have taken to the Seas and havn't looked back. Will and Elizabeth have lived a relavity normal life, with only one visit from Jack and his crew a year after Sparrow escaped the noose and death at Barbossa's hands once more. Yet Barbossa has escaped, no longer immortal, but still seething with hate he goes in search of a way to destroy Jack Sparrow. After a long and difficult search he finds another of Jack's old enemies. A British officier in the Royal Navy...Lieutentant Clarion. Jack defeated Clarion years ago, in a raid on a British merchant vessel. Bitter, and ashamed young officer is still angry over the defeat. Together Barbossa and Clarion form a plot ro rid themselves of their common enemy. Barbossa disgueses himself as a member of the Royal Navy, now using the name Morgan Holland. Yet all is peaceful for a short time. Then news begins to spread in the Caribbean. A new settlement, new and unarmed settlement called Port Dantes is attacked. And not just any attack, but massacared. The small helpless population was brutally slaughtered. And left behind only one survivor at the main Port. Lietentant Clarion. He gives the navy a perfect description of Jack Sparrow and the Pearl naming those who attacked his Port. There is a problem however. Jack Sparrow is nowhere to be found, nor has he heard of the attack. He is in fact out searching for the last of his crew woman's family. Kat...Saber's sister. And he finds her in Tortuga...Kat. And something else happens Clarion didn't count on.... another person survived the battle....a young lady whom calls herself Raven. In Tortuga Jack is caught by the Navy and taken to Port Royale. There he meets a baffled and somewhat angered Norrington and a unsure Will and Elizabeth. And in the shadows waits Clarion and Barbossa, now seen as the heroic survivors of some horrible battle. Norrington's hands are tied. He is bound by the law, as is Governer Swann who can only ask for a delay in Jack's hanging. The Turners, having not seen Jack in three years, believe, or half believe the rumors....after all.....all evidence points to Jack. Will begs the crew of the Pearl to prove Jack's innocence, as the Captain awaits death in his cel. But he's not left alone. Clarion and Barbossa wish to break the man of his spirit. Helped along by small amounts of laudanum in his food and nightly tortures, Jack begins to loose his mind. All to late Clarion and Barbossa's plan is discovered by Jack's crew, who race to tell Norrington. However, they meet Clarion's loyal crew men, who engage the Black Pearl in a battle at Sea, delaying their voyage further. Yet they arrive in time, Norrington's own men sailing out to find the Pearl and escort her crew to Port Royale. Clarion is killed, at the hands of Jack's family and friends.....and Barbossa escapes again. Jack is left in ruins. His mind is gone and his body is weak and poisoned. Will and Elizabeth take him in, as his crew watches, hands tied and not sure of how to help him. For Jack doesn't seem to recongnize any of them, even his own dear Rose. To make matters worse the British Crown wants to kill Jack and plans to send a Royal Escort to Port Royale and hang him. If not for the massacre at Port Dantes, then for his many other crimes againest the Crown and it's Navy. This gives Jack less them a month to become strong again and set sail out into the Caribbean. His crew circle Port Royale as the days go by, visiting the Captain at the Turners, urging him to recover. But Jack's locked in his own shattered mind. In the end it is a attempt at the Turner child's life, on Rose....by Barbossa that Jack is forced to snap himself into reality once more. With the help of his crew, the Turenrs and friendships he's earned along the way, Jack sets out into the Caribbean, Captain of the Pearl once more. Have fun mates....

Sarah tiptoed out of the guest, wearing her pajamas and a robe. She was walking down the hallway when she saw Abigail with her ear pressed against Elizabeth and Will's bedroom door. Abigail! What are you doing? Sarah whispered to Abigail, urgently. Come with me now, hurry! Sarah half dragged Abigail to the guest room. Abigail...might I ask...what did you hear? Sarah sat Abigail down on her bed next to her. Abigail quickly told her the whole story. Why that's horrible! The whole lot...slaughtered! Sarah thought a second. Then quickly grabbed Abigail's arm and started pulling her out of the room. Come now Abigail, we're going to the blacksmith shop! You need a sword!

Post by Rose Glassman/Hawk Aureye on Sept 2, 2003 16:31:07 GMT -5
<Gah, sorry, guys, our internet connection's been having problems. >_> This post starts a little prior to the current action, but hopefully it'll flow right into it. Sorry!>
Hawk Aureye
The Cutlass finally landed in Tortuga. Hawk instantly jumped off the ship without a thought to Jacqueline, Barbossa, or Clarion, because he'd been studying the fight going on, and he'd just recognized one of the girls involved. Jack's daughter...the girl he'd fought three years ago.
With amazing speed, Hawk manuevered his way into the fight, quickly slew one of the Navy soldiers, then dragged his body into a nearby alley and changed clothes with him. Coming back into the fight, he slipped in and managed to get into the circle of those fighting Rose.
Rose Glassman
Rose had finished batting off her attackers when she saw Jack being dragged away. It seemed he was going without a fight, too...and he had the gall to talk to her about Sparrow spirit! "DAD!!!!!" she called after him with genuine anguish, pain contorting her face as she turned back towards the Navy officers.
"Look, mates," she says slowly. "Y'got what you wanted...Cap'n Jack Sparrow's on your ship. I don' plan on hurtin' any of ya...and you 'eard the man. You can't 'urt any of us." Rose was bluffing; she hadn;t heard her father make any such deal, but she was hoping he would.
Fortunately for her, the men, knowing what Jack had said, backed up. Letting out her breath in relief, Rose backed off and was about to board the Pearl. She suddenly stopped, then grabbed the arm of the youngest soldier. Something about his face was familiar...
"Look, mate," she said softly. "If...if anythin' 'appens to Dad...could ye send word to me? Any news...me name's Rose Glassman." Recieving a nod from the young man, she smiled. "Thanks, mate...'m in your debt." With those words, she sauntered back onto the ship, her gait easy but her face dark.
Asking around the ship, managing to keep her composure, Rose finds out Carrie's missing. Judging from what she knows about the girl, Rose figures she's gone off after Jack. Biting her lip, Rose studies the Navy ship with a frown. Going after her wouldn't be too good of an idea, no matter now much she'd like to, so all Rose could do now was pray the girl didn't take a leaf out of Will's book and do something stupid...
Hawk Aureye
As he'd hoped, Hawk got a chance to speak to Rose. He listened to her words; surprisingly, he was touched by them. She did genuinely love and worry for her father. He nodded, trying to keep his face impassive.
Once Rose had boarded the Pearl again, Hawk returned to Barbossa and Clarion. Giving them a nod, hoping they recognized him, he muttered in his familiar pirate drawl, "I'm goin' ter stow away on th' Pearl. It'll 'elp me see what Sparra's crewmen 're up to, an' I c'n report that t' you." He pauses, then mutters, "Want me t' take th' girl, too?"

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Not having recieved a response from anyone Arayel decided once more to follow silently back towards the Pearl, She was really at a loss as for what to do, here all she had wanted was to become part of this fine ships crew, then the second she gets the chance to meet the man in charge on more than a passing basis everything goes haywire. Now she was left with nothing to do aside from shadow the crew, and hope perhaps one of them would notice her. At least then she could express her desire to help. If nothing else, she was a decent enough healer, and Arayel knew, every ship could use one of those. But for now, all she could do was bide her time and wait to be noticed...*[/glow][/shadow]

Post by Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon on Sept 2, 2003 19:49:59 GMT -5
Emma thought that perhaps Kat needed some time alone.At the same time,she desparately needed to talk to someone.She prowled the deck of the Pearl until she spotted someone who looked nearly as lost as she felt. Thinking,she recognized the woman,who seemed slightly older than she,as having fought beside her-had it been only minutes ago?It seemed like ages.She approached the woman,her still untreated arm causing her pain as it swung casually by her side,but she stubbornly refused to change her swaggering gait.
"'Ello," said Emma to the auburn-haired woman before her,extending her uninjured hand to shake."Me name's Emma Hawkins.And you are?"

*Tobbs slowly helped Maria's wound, making sure the blood stopped and her wound began to close, it cleaned and dressed. She sighed, glad the girl didnt take a fatal blow, then she put a blanket on her for warmth and went to Kat and Saber, glad they were doing well also.
She made her way bac to the deck, looking over the ocean. She could no longer see the ship Jack was aboard. Looking to see if all the crew was aboard, she paused in the middle of a breath when she noticed Carrie gone...what in bloody 'ell? Then she noted Rose's knowing glance and she sighed once again, hoping the girl would go unhurt. Walking over to Rose, she placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to give her a reassuring, comforting look, hoping it would help both Rose and herself. Then, nodding once again and looking about to see if all were aboard, she yelled loudly for the crew to begin preparing to set sail, for theyd need to get to Jack as soon as possible. For some reason, the idea of leaving him toPort Royale and the recall of the last words muttered by an officer gave her one of the most dreading, uneasy feelings she'd ever had. She then went to the wheel, and soon enough, they were off, Tortuga behind them and Port Royale before...*

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Sept 2, 2003 21:34:00 GMT -5
(Ok, I shall now attempt to catch up with Hawk in a single post, lol)
~Captain Barbossa
::Barbossa was shocked at the young Jacqueline's request. The last thing he had expected was for her to want to join his crew!:: "Lass...are ye sure ye've thought this through? Me crew ain't exactly the most gentlemenly o' pirates. But...I suppose if ye be willin' ta work fer yer quarter, we can strike a deal. 'Sides...it couldn' 'urt ta have a women aboard. Welcome ta the Cutlass, Miss Raven!" ::Barbossa shook her hand once, and then pulled her to her feet. He immediately turned around and began issuing orders to dock the ship, and go ashore in Tortuga. He then retreated into his cabin and began to search for an outfit to disguise himself in. Eventually, he returned to the deck, not looking at all like the same Captain they all knew. His usual hat was gone, and a red bandana covered his head instead. His hair was tied back, and his beard and moustache were combed and washed. He had a heavy grey cloak about his shoulders, concealing his sword and pistol underneath. He grinned at the shocked look of his crew, who had never seen him appear so...gentlemen-like:: "To Tortuga then!" ::Suddenly, Barbossa noticed Hawk was missing. He asked in a very gruff voice where he was:: "He's already in the city?! Arg, what's in his head? ::He scowled for a moment, then prepared to get off the ship as well:: ...C'mon then, ye scurvy dogs! We can' let Hawk 'ave ALL the fun, eh?"

* Maria slowly but surley woke up in a cbin covered by a blanket. She pulled the blanket off her wound still hurt badly. She could see it was dressed and taken are of. she knew rightthen nd their it had been tobbs. She got up from the bed and grabbed her sword suddenly she remebered Jack. Had he been captuered yet. Was some of the crew kidnapped as well. These questions raced in her head. She ran to the deck to only see the crew but no captain. she had knew then he had been captred. either that or he had given himself up. She ran to the side of the boat as a tear floated down her cheek. she suddenly wiped them away and took out her dager. she then cut a small sparrow on her shoulder. she wiped away the blood. If the whole crew was captured there would be no skink left on her.* " Tobbs... To Prt Royale?"

*Will watched Elizabeth as she slid into bed and then frowned as tears ran down her cheeks. He slipped out of bed then came over to her side, he sat down beside her and held her tightly. He kissed the top of her head and then ran his fingers through her hair.* Don't worry Elizabeth, I'll do my best to keep you and our children safe. I would die before I let anything happen to the three of you. *He looked her in the eye and cupped her chin in his hand. He smiled softly at her.* I'll stay awake until you fall asleep. *He whispered, kissing her on the forehead. He glanced over at the twins who were both sleeping soundly, curled up in little balls, then looked back at Elizabeth as he heard noises in the hall. He stood up slowly and walked to the door.* Stay here, I'll be right back. *He said, then quietly opened the door and peeked out. He grabbed his pistol from off the dresser and slowly started walking down the hall. Wondering what it had been that had made the noises he heard.*
-Norringtons Men- *As Jack continued to ask for rum the guards around his cell continued to deny him of his request.* Mr. Sparrow, you are to be punished, and apparently we have found your biggest punishment thus you will not recieve any. Now stay quiet. *One of the guards stated, then he was called up on deck for some buisness. He turned to the nearest 'officer' next to him, who was actually Carrie and told her to be on duty. Then he left. A while later he returned.* We're making great time, shouldn't be long now before we're back in Port Royale.
-Clarion- *Clarion was dissapointed that Barbossa had allowed Jacqueline to become apart of the crew, but he gussed that every little person helped. Then he saw Hawk jump overboard. He raised a brow and then raised it even higher when Barbossa came out, dressed in entirley new attire, looking completley different.* Captain Barbossa! *Clarion said in disbelief. Then he grinned.* Aye, now we won't be noticed at all! *His smile only grew wider when he could see the events unfolding on shore, and see Norringtons men sail away. They had Jack with him and Clarion was happy. He looked at Barbossa when he spoke then gave a nod.* You lead I'll follow. *He said. Although he hated to be a follower, he was a natural leader but he had to just suck it up.*

Abby leaned against the keyhole again when she Miss Elizabeth talking. The news was bad and Miss Elizabeth sounded scared. Abby wanted to go into the room, ask a thousand questions but she didn't know how she would explain her presence. She stood up again, walked a bit down the hallway, wondering what she should do next. Just then the door opened, Master Will stood there with a gun in his hand! Abby yelled, "Don't shoot! Tis only Abby Sir!!!" Master Will lowered the gun, glared at her. Abby blushed furiously and looked down on the floor. Her mind racing, trying to think of something to say. Something that would explain why she was standing so close to their bedroom door. "Ahem..Err....I was just about to knock..I thought..uh. perhaps you'd like.. a cold drink or something...er..you seem a bit down at dinner so I thought you might want a drink to cheer you up." "Sweet Heaven! That is a dumb excuse" Abby thought to herself. She looked meekly at Master Will wondering if he would buy the story.

Post by Jacqueline Raven on Sept 3, 2003 9:32:51 GMT -5
Jacqueline smiled to Barbossa and was happy to be on board. When no one looked she carefully held on to her belt, trying to stop her shaking hand. She had been terrified for the reaction of the others, but all seemed to be go as planned. It appeared to her that Clarion was slightly dissapointed to see she had been allowed to join the crew. Jacqueline smiled to him and tipped the edge of her bandana with her fingers to him. From the corner of her eye she sees Hawk leaving. She remembered when she had first met him. Actually she was pretty fond of him, but muteny doesn't work well on trusting your former crew, even if he had only been a cookshelp... Jacqueline grinned when she saw Barbossa and nodded in approvement. She herself had put on her hat, since she normally would only wear a blue bandana. Quietly she followed Barbossa and walked alongside Clarion, wondering what would happen next and what she had gotten herself into.*

Post by Saber & Kat Tompson on Sept 3, 2003 11:30:38 GMT -5
OOC-Tobbs..ummmm Im playing with what you have right now but... you didnt give Clarion time to see Kat. If you are not up to date on what Jack, Will, and I have planed by our little selfies then tell us so we can bring you up to date. Saber awoke and wonderd where she was "What the...? Im back on the Pearl? 'Owd that 'appen?" all of a sudden she remembers the fight and sits up quickly "Ouch!" she rubs the front of her head. "Every time.." she mummbles and lays back down only to hit the back of her head. "Oooo...... that was not good." and she puts her hand behind her head and feels the bandage. "Oh yes, I almost forgot." Eventually she sits up again, slowly, and get out of the bed. She goes up on deck and sees her sister. She walks up beside her and leans on the rail next to her. "Thanks"
Kat turns and gives her sister a grin "Good to see you up and about, oh and your welcome."
Saber looks out to sea. "They took 'im, didnt they? Well no worries we'll get him back soon enough, Norrington should let 'im out and as long as he has his rum Jack will be fine."
Kat was very suprised at her sisters calm manner but said nothing. she watched her walk away to go and see if she could comfort Tobbs or Rose. Saber knew they needed it. Kat meanwhile went to find Emma. She saw her talking to another girl so she went to se if she could help with anything below.
Saber meanwhile had offerd a few words of comfort to the others, knowing how hard this was for them. Then she sprang to the rigging and worked on the sails, allowing them to catch as much wind as possible. While up there she let her own emotions go. She had known Jack since she was a small child and having him just taken like that was hard for her. She also senced something sinister, and she knew that someone evil was behind all of this.

Post by Jack Sparrow on Sept 3, 2003 18:17:44 GMT -5
:Jack stared at Norrington's men, wondering vaguly if this was all some sort of joke on Norrington's part. Maybe the good Commodore wanted to get one up on Jack Sparrow. He frowned, hoping he'd get out soon:
:The flask of rum helped....greatly. But he would need a fairly sober mind about him, once they got to Port Royale.....a very sober mind. and Will would be there....Will would help him....wouldn't he? Jack grew suddenly worried. What would happen to Rose? And the Pearl. Tobbs was still sailin' the Pearl.....assuming o' course she hadn't decided to jump ships like Carrie had to be nearby.:
:He sighed and drifted into a uneasy sleep, convinced that if anything of importance happened, he would know:

*Carrie looked around uneasily at the other navy soldiers and made sure that they were not taking Captain Jack someplace new. They didn't, but Jack had fallen asleep. She nudged him a bit to wake him up and whispered* "I'm sure that the Pearl and her crew are okay! I was the only one who followed the officers, because I wanted to see if I could save my Cap'n! But I guess I can't...yet. But don't worry! I'll spring ye out of here soon" *She then noticed the navy officers coming toward her so she got quiet again*
