Emma pulled back the hammer of her pistol silently,holding it in her left hand as she and Evy slipped silently onto the deck of the targeted ship.Nothing like a good fight to clear a troubled mind,she thought.Her movements were fluid,catlike,as she slunk up alongside the place where the two men were.Out cold,it seemed.Probably drunk,as though she were in a position to comment on that matter.She nodded to the one in posession of both his legs,and mouthed to Evy,"That one's mine!"Then,slipping around behind him and putting an arm around his stomach,laying her knife gently across his throat.
"Bit 'f a bad time f'r a nap there,love..."
A cold smirk flickered across her lips,and her eyes danced with amusement at the sight of the fear that streaked across the waking man's face."Y'gonna give me trouble?"
"N-no..."
"Pity.Woulda made it that much more fun...Sorry to've bothered ya,enjoy yer nap..."Her arm flashed upwards,and the butt of her pistol collided with the base of his skull,and he slumped over.Emma slipped her knife back into her sleeve,then heaved him over the side of the deck and onto the dock,glancing to Evelyn to see how she was doing,though she doubted if her friend would need help with one man...

Evelyn shook her head and gave a short chuckle as Emma told her she'd be taking the other. "Alrigh' then." Evelyn said silently as they approached the two. Evelyn could put up a hell of an argument, but when you spend a lot of time arguing, you begin to get a knack for knowing who would put up a nice argument as well. Emma was one of them.
As Emma headed off Evelyn moved swiftly. Her feet landing lightly upon the decks. Barely a sound could be heard from her. She loomed over the man as she approached him. Evelyn smirked and digged into her boot for her dagger. She took this out quickly and moved to go behind him when suddenly he lashed out. "No! Get away!" he said in a grunt. Evelyn's eyes grew wide for a moment, and she paused dead in her tracks.
He barely missed hitting her, but she had moved back enough for him to miss her. She took in a deep breath and then moved behind him. The blade glinted in her hand a bit, the moonlight bouncing off of the silver. "Sleep well mate." Eve said with a smirk as she grabbed a tuft of his hair. In a moment his eyes sprang open, but in the next her blade slashed across his neck, spilling blood from him.
He fell with a soft gurgle to the ground. Evelyn cringed and covered her face. "Ah! Wha's tha' God awful stench?" she said in a low voice. Then, with a bit of struggle, she dumped the man overboard and onto the docks. Then she approached the side of the ship and waved her arm. "C'mon!" she called in a low voice. Eve beckoned the rest of the crew to follow them and slowly, Eve's eyes turned to the doorway to the lower decks. "C'mon Em, let's take out the rest." Evelyn told her giving her a wink.

*Will glanced over his shoulder as he heard footsteps approaching from behind him. He gave a smile and a nod in Tobbs direction as she joined him. Looking her over quickly he hoped she was in the right condition to take over a ship, but knowing her she would do it anyways, prepared or not.*
*Eric grinned at Evelyn as she said she was glad he had a mind of his own. He said nothing, he only smiled and turned away, continuing to follow Will and the others quietly towards the ships like hunters stalking their prey. He and Will watched at Evelyn and Emma made a plan to take out the two on the docks while the others were left on the ship for the rest of the crew.*[/color]
*Will watched as the two women snuck off towards the two large men but he remained in his spot for a moment beside Eric. Too many people moving forward at once could alert the others that something was a foot and that would be bad. He watched with nervous eyes at Emma knocked out the first man and Evelyn killed the second. Finally the rest of the crew was waved on. Will gave a tug on the arm of Erics shirt and the two men flitted after the two women, Wills pistols drawn and Erics fists ready.*

Evelyn headed down below the decks and came up slowly to the galley. Loud voices were heard and many were carousing, it sounded like they were having a drinking contest of sorts and the memory of her loss rushed back to her. She growled a bit and then placed her hand on her pistol.
She looked over at Emma and the rest of the crew as they slowly joined. "Alright, on the coun' o' three, alrigh'? I'll fire a shot and we'll catch 'em by surprise." Evelyn said nodding her head a bit. She pulled back the hammer and looked around the corner. There were four of them, all sitting around the table, one was eating and the others were having a drink. "One, two, three!" Evelyn called.
In a flash she appeared from around the corner and shot at the first man she saw. The bullet hit him in the chest and he fell backwards and out of his seat. The other men looked up at her and growled. They reached for their weapons and Evelyn dropped the pistol and wielded her sword. She looked to the side, seeing a hot pot of soup, grabbing it she chucked it at them and they yelped in pain as the hot liquid fell over them.

Emma nodded to Evelyn,flashing a smile at Rick as he joined them.A small sigh escaped her as they saw the men."Only four?"she whispered with a disappointed sigh."Not very well guarded,is it?Oh,well..."As Evelyn gave the call,she sprang into the room,kicking one of the men in the face before driving her sword through him.One of the two remaining men grabbed her from behind.
"Now,just what would you be doin' here,missy?A nice lass could get herself into considerable trou-"
"Leave 'er be."Rick's voice was as cold and deadly as steel,and the promise of death lay in his eyes.The sailor hesitated;Rick frowned and lopped his head off."Are y'all righ',Emma?"
"'M fine,Rick,'m always fine,"she relied,rubbing her neck where the man had tried to choke her and looking around at the rest of the crew.

Post by Jack Sparrow on Jun 15, 2004 6:10:04 GMT -5
:Jack took a moment to smile with pride as his crew got to work like a well oiled machine. If truth be told Jack didn't exctly like the idea of comandeering another pirate's ship. he had no qualms whatsoever about taking a Navy ship. That was a challenge. But another pirate's? Well....it was almost as bad as Barbossa taking the Pearl. but his need was great right now. :
:Assuming of course that this ship was in one piece when they got the Pearl back, Jack would return it to Tortuga. All he wanted right now was his own ship. In mere minutes it seemed, this Ship was property of Jack Sparrow and Crew. And Jack smiled, then began to hoist anchor. The sails opened and Jack let the ship drift out of the docks:
: "Hell's Revenge." The name seemed to ring a bell. But Jack couldn't place it for a while. Then it clicked. Ah yes. The "Hell's revenge" was the ship Jack had a run in with not to long ago. Some cannons fired, a few people injured. The captain was a rash man. Inclinded to put him and his crew in danger for the sake of glory.:
:Well, Jack wasn't the most steady of people, but he had sense when the occasion called for it. Jack smirked wondering what the captain of this ship would think about being stranded in Tortuga. Well....better Tortuga then a random island in the middle of the Sea:
:His eyes then focused on his crew: "Check the cannons and our ammunition. See if the decks below have any pistols, or swords, or anything else that will do some damage. I want every piece of weaponry on this ship counted for. Stern to steam. Everyone."
(OCC- Fishy. ye want me to find you? if so tell me mate. As you're the only one I'll be able to help for now.)

// yay! the site is back up! I tried to post eariler but it was down for a couple days! So sorry!//
Like the sight of Linea crying. Silently he went over to her, and tried to understand what was wrong. Well. Kora was still on the Pearl. He knew that. But, Well, crying seemed useless right now. Even if it was instinct to cry.
"Linea." He said softly. "come with me. Jack is taking another ship. We can go after your cousin then. Alright?" He tried to keep his voice level. it was hard choice for him. He could stay with the crew as Roux. Or chase after the ship on his own and save the rest of the crew. He wasn't sure what he should do to be honest.
Roux knew that interfering with things could have some bad results. and the last thing he wanted was to mess up on this. It was to important. For not only him and Jack's crew. But for the other gods. His family.
Carefully he took Linea's hand and gave it a small tug. "come with me." He implored her. "We can go find your cousin."

<Hawk, Kora. I was gonna put you in my posts a tiny bit. I hope you don't mind. If you do, I promise I'll change it, just tell me, alright?>
< Diana grumbled once and opened her eyes. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she was below decks. Diana had at once been a good proper young lady. Brought up in thw most respectful of ways, very calm and gentle she was, normally >
<However, right now, that wasn't showing. Diana was swearing as loudly as she could, enough to wake the dead. She wasn't all that clear on who was controling the Black Pearl now, but it wasn't Jack. and that alone was enough to make her call whomever was running the ship quite a few well chosen names.>
<And a few she made up as well. She'd gotten pretty creative with the name calling, when she realized she wasn't the only one down here. She first looked for Fishy. He wasn't here. He must have gotten away. She smiled. She did see Hawk. and Kora. Beyond them she couldn't tell who else might be here. Hawk was nearest to her on the left. Kora was just beyond Hawk.>
<she fumbled a bit, trying to search for something she could use to cut the ropes that bond her hands. She had a small dagger in her pocket. it was one she hadn't used in a while, and was a bit dull. but it was the best she could do. But she couldn't reach it. With Hawk's help she could>
"Hey! Hawk?" She called, hoping he would answer her. "I need a bit o' help here mate. I think I can get out hands untied."

Rose and Orestes got aboard the ship and instantly set off to do what Jack asked. Orestes kept a watchful eye over Rose - however, she seemed fine. Still, he stayed close to her, keeping a watchful eye out for any sign of weakness returning.
Hawk felt consciousness slowly cover him like a blanket, and gradually came to. It seemed someone was calling his name..."Diana?" he asked fuzzily, turning; his vision still wasn't too sharp. "Huh...what 'appened?"

<Diana laughed darkly> "It seems the Pearl's been taken over, mate. we didn't get off in time."
<She moved over towards Hawk and looked at him> "Are you alright? I've got a dagger and need a bit o' help gettin my hands untied."
<There was a pause and she looked at him again> "Are you hurt? Still know your name? I don't mean to rush you, but I don't think we've been out for too long. If we act fast we might be able to get out of here."

Hawk groans. "Oh, jus' bloody lovely." He quickly checks himself. "They took me swords and me pistols, bloody bastards..." He checks again. "I've got me knives though, an' they may've left me a few daggers. 'm fine, I think...you?"
As he speaks, he edges closer to her, hands working on his own bonds. Hawk's been captured a few times...one of the first things he learned was how to untie bonds. This shouldn't be too big of a problem...

"just another tea party eh?" <Diana smirked and watched him, all the while listening for movent from overhead>
"I don't think anyone's coming anytime either." <She added.> "Everyone sounds busy on deck. Don't think you could help me with my ropes when yer done?"
<her voice had a small bit of laughter in it. better to make fun of a problem then sit and brood over it to no avail.> "I think Jack may have some sort of weapons down here. keep in mind they'll only be useful if we get out of here. I don't have a key. but if i get a small piece of metal. I could open the doors. I hope." #nosmileys

// Linea. I really do hope you don't mind. But I'm going to get us to the ship with Jack and his crew. okay?//
Roux ushered Linea through the streets, in time to see Jack and his crew take over this new ship. he grinned brightly and jumped aboard, taking Linea with him.
Once there he looked around for a place to put Linea. She might need time to calm down a bit. He looked at her worriedly, then dropped a small light kiss on her cheek. "We'll get your cousin back." He promised her.
Jack was ordering the crew to search for weapons and he gave Linea a grin, then went to find what Jack requested. He bumped into Orestes and Rose in the process. He smiled at his cousin then nodded to rose as if to ask. "she alright?"
His eyes flashed gold a moment and he then gestured to a small pile of cannon balls. "in any case we won't have to use broken glass."

Hawk looks relieved that Diana is still able to keep her head, as well as a sense of humour. He worked through his own bonds, then slipped a knife from his boot and cut through Diana's. "Knowin' Cap'n Sparrow, it's exactly what 'e'll do...can y'try t'open th' doors now?" he asked hopefully. He could try make a lockpick, but Hawk had never been too good at lockpicking...
Rose grinned at Roux. "Good to see ya aboard 'ere too, mate..."
Orestes grinned as well, and nodded in response. "I'm keeping an eye on her anyway," he told his brother in thought. "You never know what could happen..."

<Diana smiled brightly and rubbed her wrists a second then nodded at Hawk> "I'll try for it."
<Now, Diana had never been all to picky about her hair, but she always kept a hairpin or two tucked away in her curls, for occasions like this. She took one out and went to work on her lock at the door then looked over at Hawk>
"I can get us out. Might take a few minutes. Kora's over there. She alright? I don't think she's awake."
<another thing was bothering Diana. She wasn't sure how many pirates were above. She could fight one on one pretty well. but if there were too many she wasn't sure how useful she'd be. And she couldn't swim well>
<Her lock popped and clicked. Diana grinned and moved quickly to Hawk's cel and got to work> "best we look for some weapons soon, eh?"
<even as she was talking, she was looking around the room. Jack had to have something down here. Anything. A sword or two. Or a loaded pistol. anything. Diana was really hoping for anything sharp, and that would cause some serious damage.> "Any ideas for getting of this ship?"
