:Jack's eyes widened as his cel door opens and his wrists were clamped together in irons:
"We've reached Port Royale, Sparrow" one of the guards said. Jack hurriedly made sure his flasks of rum were safely hidden away in the pockets of his coat before he stood up, all jaunty and swaggering still, though without his normal grace, due to the wrist irons:
:As he set foot on the dock, a unit of six naval guards surrounded him, two taking his arms. He grimaced a little but still smiled. He had gotten out of worse things then this. Of course....it normally involved having a certain Will Turner these to back hm up....and a ship waiting for him at the bottem of a cliff.....but...:
:He frowned, a bit then looked up at the docks. Right into the face of Will Turner, who stared back, a look of completle shock on his face. Not sure what to do, Jack suddenly smiled: "Will! Nice to see you...thing you can mange another last minute recuse mate?"

*Will was still standing on the edge of the docks as the ships pulled in and Norringtons men began to get off. Then he suddenly found himself face to face with Jack and his heart skipped a beat and he starred back at him, wide eyed and confused. When Jack spoke Will opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to speak and instead just kept starring. His worst fears had come true, Jack had been the suspect like he thought. He frowned slowly and managed to stutter out the word:* Jack? *Then he just stood there and watched as Norringtons men took Jack away. He didn't know what to think.*

:Jack blinked, looking at Will's stunned face. For the first time turning the trip...his heart sunk. Well...next to the threatened rum veto....but now it really sunk:
"Will?!" He said as Norrington's men dragged him away. For the first time Jack really put up a fight. He began swinging, knocking guards down in his hurry to get away: "I didn't do it Will....I swear it on the Black Pearl itself!"
:Jack's shouts were muffled as Norrington's men suddenly surrouded the outnumbered man, who was chained halfway down the docks. Jack looked around frantically. There was no place to go by the gallows from here....or a cel to rot. He looked over at Will's face: "Will! I didn't do it!" He shouted over the heads of the guards as they closed in. One of them delivered a sharp blow to his stomach and he doulbed over, air lost and he winced. They lifted him up, none to gently and took him towards the Fort. He would await his "trail" there:

*Will felt a lump form in his throat when Jack began fighting hard to try and get away and then when he heard what Jack shouted to him he felt even worse. He looked away for a moment, frowning even more as his eyes filled with tears. He slowly looked back at Jack and cringed a little when he saw the officers punch him in the stomach. He hurried over to them and grabbed one by the shoulder.* Hey mate, theres no reason to be doing that, not just yet! *Will said, looking again to Jack as they arrived to the jails. He wanted to believe that Jack was telling the truth, he truely did but it had been a long time since he'd seen the man and he just wasn't sure what to think.* Im sorry Jack, I...I don't think I can help you out of here. Not this time. *Will choked and watched as they threw him into the jail cell. Most of them stormed off but a few remained. Will had never felt so small in his life, having to push Jack away. Then he thought he heard something, like the ruffle of a skirt nearby but he just shrugged and leaned against the bars of the cell. He looked Jack square in the eye.* Jack I need you to tell me exactly what happened because honestly, Im completley lost right now and....and I don't know what to believe.
-Clarion- *Clarion smiled as they pulled into the docks of Port Royale. No one would recognize either for who they really were. His smile grew ever brighter when he spotted Jack being drug away, shouting to some man that he didn't do it. He watched the mans face and realized it was Will. He was relieved to see the look of uncertainty and confusion on Will's face. If they could fool one of Jacks closest companions into believing the stories, they could fool anyone.* Aye Barbossa. I think we're going to enjoy it here. *Clarion laughed.*

((Pushes Abigail to Sarah's previous post, whenever Abigail gets back, until then...)) Sarah had fallen asleep trying to wake Abigail up. Sarah finally realized that Abigail was a very heavy sleeper, which Sarah realized 3 in the morning and was too tired to go to her own bed. Sarah woke up at 7, as the sun started streaming through the window. She saw that Abigail was still sleeping and Sarah tried to wake her up again. Abigail...Abigail...ABIGAIL WAKE UP!

(ooc-Not gonna be around till late affter noon folks savvy?)
At Tobbs order Kat had grabed "Mr Briggs" by the arm and twisting it behind his back hissed in his ear "No funny buisness now." She practicly dragged him to the cells that were below on the pearl and shoved him in one. She locked the door and pocketed the keys. She looked at him through the bars and just by looking at him could tell she was the older, but what did it matter? she turned on her heels to go but then had a thought. "Emma, do ye think you could keep an eye on this.....laddie till I go ask Tobbs if we need a gaurd? thanks mate."
Saber meanwhile had been doing her best to help patch up the hole in the pearl. She sighed when it was annouced that they would have to go back. "I dont want ta spend another day in Tortuga, to much exitement already. No knowing what could happen again in a few days."

Rose Glassman
Rose had been deep in thought when the ship gave a lurch. She looked around wildly, panicking. "Someone give me a report!" she barked in a tone much like her father's. Once she got news of the hole, she tore below deck to find Saber, Maria, and Tobbs trying to patch the hole up. They mentioned something about going back to shore...Saber and Maria were against it. Setting her jaw, Rose strode forward.
"We are goin' t' Tortuga," she said, softly but firmly. "I don' enjoy returnin' there much more than you do, mate, but we need t' get t' shore soon, an' it's th' closest piece o' land nearby...an' this ship needs repairs." She sighs, a faraway look in her eyes. "I let 'em take Dad...I'm not lettin' th' ocean claim th' Pearl."
Sighing again, she bites her lip and looks them all in the eye. "Tell th' helmsman t' steer a course back t' Tortuga. ...see what you can do 'bout that 'ole...thanks, mates." Her voice breaking, she turns away and strides over to the cells.
"What's this commotion I've been 'earin' about, Kat?" The girl relays to Rose what happened with the prisoner, and her eyes narrow. "I see. Well, lemme take care of it, Kat, Emma...you go 'elp with th' 'ole. I'll keep an eye on 'im 'til we get t' Tortuga..."

*Jacqueline stepped back. When Clarion grabbed her by her collar she returned him with a furious look, she never had been good with authority anyway. If looks could kill Barbossa most likely would have lost two crewmembers, one he valued and one he would be happy to get rid of. Jacqueline held her tongue, feeling a little bit of triumph, knowing she got the better of Clarion. She took in Barbossa's words and those of Clarion in carefully and started to think of a plan when Barbossa firmly showed her to the deck again.* "It seems you've outlasted your stay on this boat already Jack m'dear..." *She said to herself.* "Perhaps it's time to secure a safe route of the ship...that doesn't end on the bottom of the ocean, nor on a deserted isle. Let's hope we come close to some other ships before we make our next stop...I might voluntarily go for a swim..." *She continued softly to herself, hoping a good oppertunity would present itself so she wouldn't have to go to more "extreme" measures to surfive. Taking hostages of importance never was her favourite action in life.* "...but a lass's got to do, what a lass's got to do!"
*As they sailed on Jacqueline made sure she kept a low profile and found she actually made it safely to their next destination: Port Royale. A broad grin formed on her face, she could make her escape here with ease. She had places to go here and people she knew well. So she moved near to the portside of the ship, ready to jump ofboard when it would proof necessairy to make a quick escape...*

Abigail woke up late in the morning. She heard someone calling her name by the door. "I'll be right there." She got up, dressed, went to her wash basin where she brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she looked presentable, she opened the door. "Hullo Sarah! What can I do for you today?" Abby looked over her shoulder, saw that Master Will was getting ready to leave the house. "Sarah..I'll be right back m'dear. I need to run to the market to fetch some fresh vegetables for lunch. Just give me a few minutes all right? I'll be back very soon."
Abby hope the young lady would understand. She had no plans to go to the market but she grabbed her bag anyway. She was going to follow Master Will. It looked like he was going to some place important and Abby was determined to find out where. She walked quickly but making sure to stay several paces behind Master Will, so that she blended in with the crowd so that he wouldn't see her. Abby heard a commotion by the docks. She was shocked to Captain Jack in Port Royal. It had been several years and he still looked the same although much more weary. He struggled as he was taken away by Norrington's men. More determined than ever to find out what was going on, Abby decided to follow Master Will to the Jail . She had no problem getting inside. Too many people were staring at Captain Jack to notice Abby.
Abby followed Master Will to the jail cell where Jack was being held. She leaned behind several large boxes, listened in on their conversation. A sudden wind blew through the room, rustling her large hoop skirts. Abby felt a sharp pang at the sound. She hoped Master Will and Captain Jack didn't hear her. Abby waited for Captain Jack to explain what happened.

Emma nodded to Rose obediently,heading over to where Saber,Tobbs,and another girl were patching up a hole in the ship."Right,"she said,"have we got a prybar?We could take apart those crates and use them as a temporary patch...Be even better if we had some tar for caulking..."She set about,doing whatever she could to help.
While she worked on the hole,Emma's mind wandered.What a day.When she woke up,she had thought her biggest problem of the day would be finding money for more rum.And instead,she'd met a whole new crew,with a captain who actually cared for his crew,had perhaps her only friend up to that point kidnapped and recovered,the said captain had been arrested by the Navy for a crime which she trusted already that he didn't commit,and she'd been shot in the arm,found a stowaway,and had a hole knocked in the ship.
Maybe she should go back to being reclusive...

Saber sighed and adressed Rose a she would if she were captian. "Aye Marm I know we be needin to go back to Tortuga, just not to fond of the place after what happend to Kat." Saber addressed Rose as a Captain and she would do the same for Tobbs as those became her captain in the absence of Jack. She sighed again but brightened up when Emma and Kat showed up to help. "Good we need all the help we can get."
Kat grinned at her little sis and bent to help her move a crate. "Listen ta Emma now shes got some builden sence in 'er." The moved the crates and began to work. "Saber, I heard what ye said about Tortuga. Im glad we be goin back." she chuckled at her sisters suprised face. "I want ta go back so I cin kill every last one of those **sterds that tried ta take me." her eyes flared "When I makes a deal with a man I nere' break it unless paid ta do so."
Saber looked at her sister. "Your voice sounded just like mothers when you said that.....not the words....just the voice." Saber realized her sister was talking with a scottish accent. Their mother had been scottish, nd she would never forget her voice. Kat had inherited her accent, but Saber had been to long around pirates to talk like anything else.
"Aye I know, only when Im upset do I start ta talk with me ol' accent." She sighed "I havent been really upset in a long time." Then Kat put some of her furry into patching up the hole.

:Jack's eyes looked hopeful when Will talked to him: "Will...mate...I don't know.....I'm not sure what's going on...something about Port Dantes...but I was only there a day...to help Saber...I didn't do nothing else..."He rubbed his wrists where the irons had locked around them and he looked at the guards. He didn't want them to overhear everything he said. After all...half of them were n awe of his stories...but that didn't mean they'd be above letting Norrington or Governer Swann hear all he had to say:
:He walked up to the cel door and stared at Will's face, all pretense of silliness gone. He was deadly serious....: "You stood between me and whole fleet of the Royal Navy's men Will......you said your place was between me and Norrington...."
"I'm still a pirate mate...but nothing's changed...I'm still a good man......" He said softly, in a voice just coming over a whisper. "A good man, Will...." He looked up at his friend. "You have to believe me.....whatever they said I've done...I didn't do it!"
;He looked at the guard, kohl lined eyes scanning their faces, then he looked at Will and whispered urgently: "Find the Black Pearl..they'll be coming after me...they can prove I'm innocent...I know they can......find Tobbs...or Rose...." He looked at Will suddenly worried: "Keep Rose safe...please mate. They can hang me...but don't let anyone get to Rose..." Jack's face twisted with worry. "I'm a good man, mate...I swear it on pain of death..."

Sarah was tired of not getting an answer from Abigail, so she decided to follow her. She stayed at a safe distance until the opportune moment. Once Abigail had settled on the boxes, listening to Will and Jack, Sarah grabbed her arm and pulled her down. Sarah put her knife to Abigail's throat and hid her and Abigail in one of the boxes. Now Abigail, I didn't mean to scare you but you keep running away from me. I can tell your busy right now, but please include me in your doings. I really want to help. Please Abigail, please!

Emma found some tar in one of the storage crates,and set to work applying it around the roughly nailed boards."How long d'ye think it'll take us to get back to Tortuga?"She asked Tobbs,her face smudged with tar."This'll hold for a while,but we'll need to get it properly fixed soon,unless we want to go see Davy Jones' Locker up close and personal."She handed Kat another board,then took up her container of tar and went over another spot.
