Roux nodded to Rose "glad to see you awake."
Then he looked at his brothe a long moment. Then smiled. "At any rate, we're mostly accounted for. Linea's cousin is still on the Pearl. And Hawk too I think."
He looked at Rose. Then frowned. He'd been on deck a bit ago. Everyone was accounted for it seemed, but about four or five. Kora, Diana, Callisto, Fishy and Hawk. if they weren't on the ship, he'd seen them getting ready to join them.
If only it were sunrise. But that wasn't for at least a few hours. Roux calmly went about his duty of checking for weapons. This ship was running heavily loaded. With plenty of weapons to go around. and enough cannonballs to last them in a fair battle.
But he was really worried aboutthe others still on the ship. He hoped they were still alive.

:Jack had to admit, he was impressed by the swiftness his crew was getting things done. He smiled with a grim pride and watched Orestes, Roux, and Rose go off in search of weapons.:
Linea had come on with Roux as well, andhe sighed. He hadn't seen Kora. so that must mean she was still on the Pearl. Poor Lass. He sighed and felt the wind fill the ship's sails. They began to pick up speed.:
:Glad to be off, Jack steered the ship in the most likely direction Barbossa would have taken. Bearing due noth west. Barbossa would be sorry he'd ever taken the Pearl from Jack:
:His eyes fell on Eric and Will. He'd promised he'd get the two of them home in three weeks Well.it may be more now. He couldn't stop either to drop them off on some safe port. Either way....Elizabeth was sure to kill Jack if he didn't bring them back.:
"oy Will. I think this will be takin a bit longer then three weeks." Jack called to Will as an apology. "Sorry mate."

Orestes was worried; that much was plain. Callisto was nowhere to be seen, and Hawk was still aboard the Pearl. He'd have to keep an extra close watch on Jack and Rose, now...
Hawk nodded at Diana, noting her concern. "Don' worry...in a fight, 'll take care o' anyone we come up 'gainst." He gave her a reassuring smile, then continued to look for weapons...

< Diana nodded and hurridedly popped Hawk's cel door open. She gave him a triumphant look> "Well, that was fun, but I don't wantto try that again."
<She pointed to the deck, above> "There's probably a guard up there, watching for us." <She went over to Kora's cel and unlocked it too, within a few moments> "Kora's hurt." She said softly and lifted the girl to her feet as best as she could, carrying her weight, and sort of leaning her weight> "So we have to be fast, whatever we do."
<Diana listened a bit more, then looked at Hawk> "I know Jack had a chest down here someplace. It was locked, but it was long enough to hold swords." <she looked around , then pointed to a corner> "Over there."
<Sure enough, there was the chest, and Diana smiled> "I'll see if I can get it open" <She set Kora down carefully, and went over to the chest, picking the lock was a bit harder this time, but she got it open in a minute or so. Inside were two swords, a pistol and what looked like small spear. Diana's face lit up> "Good ol' Jack."
<OCC- Jack told me I could find a chest like this down in the Pearl. So hope you guys don't mind>

Roux watched his younger brother. the worry could be read on his face as easily as one might read a book.
"Peace." He whispered to Orestes. "All will be well."
when Roux was finished, he had counted off quite a heavy load of weapons. yes, Barbossa would be taken care of. He only hoped the Black Pearl wasn't to damaged in the fight.

*Before Tobbs knew it, everyone was on board from Jack's crew and the ship had been taken. She blinked rather confused and frustrated. She didn't get to have any part in fighting? How unfair!*
*Tobbs carefully and shakily went on board Hell's Revenge, muttering about her side a bit and cursing the fact that she still didnt get to fight anyone, even though she probably wouldn't be able to lift her sword and block a blow all that well at this point.*
*She went below and found a cabin suitable to her likings, and placed a dagger on the dresser. She had two others on her, one in her boot, another by her hip, and a few other various weapons for protection sake; she could spare keeping one out for safety here.*
*Sighing, she sat down on the bed and gazed long at Jack's jacket he bundled her up with. She bit her lip remembering he had left her again. Thoughts swarmed in her mind; she thought she could trust him like she had with a few others, and just like them, he'd left her. She didnt see the need he had for the Pearl, and she didn't see if there was any reasoning behind it other than the fact that, well, he'd left her.*
*Clenching her hands to fists, she swung the jacket over her arm and made her way as unshakily as she possibly could. She looked around on deck and saw Jack speaking to Will. She looked down at the deck and went to the side of the ship, wishing she could help the crew with setting sail, but she could barely walk straight enough.*
*She needed rest, she knew that, but she'd not have it before she gave him back his jacket, or got someone else to do so. Glancing over, she caught the familiar face of Smettels, who she'd chatted with before on the ship, and finally recognized him as the young man whom had first been her overseer and butler when she was but a child, and he had been lost in the attack on the city. Now she found him being a crew member of the Pearl for many days, but just less talkative and more of a worker.*
*Approaching Tobbs, Smettels smiled and looked worriedly at her as he caught the paleness in her face. He'd known her since she was a little girl, but hadn't seen her in years since she was first taken away and the port destroyed. He had seen her aboard talking to Orestes once and had a small conversation before they reached Tortuga. He'd always loved her like a young sister, and now that he was older, perhaps in his young to mid forties, he felt twas his responsibility to care for the girl.*
"What is it, Miss Brighton?"
"Don' call me that Smettels, tis a forgotten name of the past."
"No' ta me...Miss Tobbs be i' fer now then, bu' wha' troubles ye?"
*She glanced over at him, and then to Jack. She sighed. She didn't have enough courage at this point to go up to him. He saved her, yes, but he left her too. She didnt want to say thank you, and she didn't want to face him, so she looked to Smettels.*
"Smettels dear, yu've been kind to me, really you have. I need a favor. Go tell your captain that he can have his jacket back, alright?"
"And thank you, yes?"
*When she shook her head, he sighed. Walking towards the captain with the jacket, he approached Jack and Will, hoping not to disturb.*
"Scuse me sirs, Cap'n Sparrow, Sir Will, bu' I've brough' somethin for ye Cap'n. Miss Brigh-...erm, I mean Miss Tobbs wishes ta give ya this 'ere jacket back ta ya, don' need i' she says. Don' mean ta intrude on ya like this sir, I'll be goin back ta work again now."
*And so Smettels went off to secure the ropes and sails and such as the Hell's Revenge was made ready to set sail.*
*Tobbs smiled as she saw Smettel go off with Jack's jacket. She began walking towards the stairs, and just as she was about to take the first step below, she looked to where the three were (Jack, Smettels, and Will). When Smettels began walking off, she looked at Jack and sighed. Suddenly, he looked towards her, and she removed her gaze and went below as quick as she could, entering her cabin and shutting the door.*
*She lay down after removing most of what she didnt need to sleep with, like sabers and daggers and boots and such, and curled up beneath the covers in a ball. A small tear ran down her cheek, which was the only emotion she showed...then she wiped it off fiercely, and fell asleep.*

:Jack had watched Tobbs come on deck then sighed and shook his head: "Will.....ye think ye can steer this ship without crashing it?"
:He handed the wheel off to Will, and went below deck. Tobbs. why was she so upset. He'd intended to come back for her once he'd gotten the ship. it wouldn't do her any good to be fighting anyway..........logical was simple enough when Jack decided to use it.:
:he opened the door careully, and looked inside. She'd given his jacket back. Jack sighd and covered her up with it anyway. Then walked out again:

Evelyn stared down at the four bodies as they lay upon the ground. Her shirt sleeves were stained crimson from the blood and specks of the liquid were splattered on her shirt, she had been in the midst of the killing. Most headed away to attend to other matters and Evelyn just stared down at the bodies. "Well, someone's goin' ta have ta get their hands dirty." Evelyn groaned as she bent over, examining the smallest man of them all and pulled him over her shoulder.
"Any help would be greatly 'preciated." Evelyn said with a small nod as she headed up on the decks. She reached the decks and saw a few of the crew standing about and she groaned. "Bloody pirates." she mumbled tossing the body off of the ship and into the waters below. Her eyes stared around a bit and then she wiped her blood stained hands upon her trousers. The stain would be there for a while and would need some intense scrubbing to get off.
With that she headed back down towards the galley once more to retrieve the other bodies. she knew the stench that came with death, it was never a pleasant one and it had made her sick for a whole week while she was on the Devil's Wrath.

// hope nobody minds. Tobbs is this ok?//
Roux had seen Tobbs injury. He frowned and watched what transpired on deck. And watched Jack come back on deck. He peered into Tobbs's room and smiled. he went over to her, and touched her side, a feather light touch.
A warm gold light spread over the wound and it healed in a instant. Roux backed out of the room quickly, leaving Tobbs with a peaceful feeling. It was the least he could do for her. He hoped she slept a while. it'd do her some good.

Hawk knelt next to the chest, holding the pistol up. "Ah, Cap'n Sparrow, you've outdone yourself," he said in awe. "It's beautiful..." He grabs one of the swords and clips it to his belt, then glances at Kora, looking anxious. "I 'ope she wakes up," he said fervently, before looking at Diana. "You better with th' spear, or th' pistol?"

Post by Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon on Jun 15, 2004 16:57:28 GMT -5
Emma smiled in satisfaction.She had never been one to do things halfway.As the rest of the crew drifted away to other tasks,she stayed down in the galley.First,she produced a mop from somewhere in the cluttered room and cleaned up the spilled rum and soup and blood,wrinkling her nose slightly at the smell.Rum and blood she was used to,but really,whoever was cooking on this ship was even worse than her...it smelled like they had managed to burn something...in a soup!Honestly...
Tossing the contents of the mop bucket out of a porthole,she turned her attention to the bodies.Hands moving quickly,she took their weapons and money,placing it in a pile on the table.When she was younger,she had been squeamish about such things,but now it seemed natural....after all,they're not using it anymore...
There were footsteps,and Emma looked up,greeting Evelyn with a smile."'Ey,Evy...gonna 'elp me get rid 'f these?"she asked amiably,nodding towards the now looted bodies on the ground.
Rick went out on deck,looking around.This ship was decent,but couldn't hold a candle to the Pearl.He suspected that part of the reason for that was the crews-most of Sparrow's crew that he had met so far seemed unwilling,almost unable to keep still while there was work to be done,and took pride in making sure that everything was in prime condition.The same enthusiasm was not evident in the way this ship had been kept up-it was functional,but that was all that could be said for its condition.He busied himself cleaning the cannons while the rest of the crew set themselves to various tasks.

Evelyn came back down into the galley and stared around. Emma had begun to mop up the blood, rum, and soup and she covered her face with her sleeve. "Ah, what's tha' God awful smell? Smell's like someone burned somethin'!" Evelyn exclaimed as she stared around. When Emma looked up at her and spoke Evelyn smirked a bit. "Help ye? Mate, I already tossed one overboard." Eve told her leaning against the doorpost.
She walked towards the next victim, this man was a bit larger and she struggled a bit more as she heaved the large man over her shoulder. She buckled under his weight and with a groan tossed him to the floor. "Bloody fat bastard!" Evelyn scowled looking down at the large man. "Ye can help me with this one." She said nodding at the large man upon the floor. She noticed the pile of money on the table and grinned a bit. "So what are we? Ta split the winnin's?" Evelyn asked her as she went to grab the arms of the men so that the both of them could haul the man off the ship.
Her honey eyes searched around a bit, looking for what they had stocked in the galley for a moment, and was happy to see it had been restocked fully.

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Jun 15, 2004 21:29:04 GMT -5
(OOC - OK guys, I'm back! Summer break officially started for me today, so I'll be able to keep up with the RPG now! I'm not going to repost taking the Pearl and all that, I'll just go from here. Oh, and I'm making it night too. Hope that doesn't mess anything up.)
::Barbossa stared out at the sea from atop the deck of the Pearl. He couldn't explain it, but something about being on this ship filled him with a unique sense of power. A power that he, not Jack Sparrow, deserved::
::He glanced up at the moon, a pale white gem in the center of the early evening sky. It would be his guide for the rest of the night as he sailed farther and farther out of Sparrow's reach. This had almost been too easy....::
::A voice from behind him suddenly interrupted his thoughts::
"Good evening, Captain Barbossa." :: Damien stepped up beside the man and followed his gaze up to the moon. An odd smile crept onto his face::
"Ah, Damien.... I didn' 'ear ye walk up. In fact, I don't think I've seen ye at all t'day...." ::Barbossa gave him a skeptical look. He seemed tired, and even paler than usual. His eyes looked dull compared to their normal luster::
"I'm sorry Captain, I do apologize. But you see, I had a terrible headache this morning, and could not get out of bed without falling. I hope you'll forgive me for not congratulating you earlier on your successful capture of the Pearl."
::Barbossa frowned, but nodded his head:: "Aye.... Tha' reminds me. Ye 'aven' seen Selina 'round 'ere, have ye? I've been meanin' ta ask 'er about somethin'."
:: Damien shook his head:: "No, I haven't. But I expect that a woman like her will have no trouble making her presence known when she is ready." ::Suddenly, Damien felt his Hunger growing again. //Just at the mere mention of her name?!// he thought. In his weakened state, he wasn't sure he would be able to fight his urges this time. He reached out and gripped the railing of the ship, his knukles turning white from the pressure, and his breathing becoming raspy and quick::
::Barbossa stared in shock at the sudden changes in the man before him. Ever since he'd met him, he'd felt a certain fear somewhere deep inside, and know he was feeling it again. His heart racing, he willed himself to reach out one hand to steady Damien::[/i] "A-are ye alright?!"
"I'M FINE!!" ::he growled, catching the pirate off guard. His voice sounded unearthly and dangerous. Very dangerous. //Just one bite, Damien. That's all we need....//:: "AAGH!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" ::He raced off on the deck, ignoring the oddlooks from his fellow crew mates. He knew he had to feed, but he couldn't. Not now....not when he was so close::
(OOC again - I'll post more tomorrow... It's after 4 am and I'm getting kinda tired)

Selina had rather enjoyed getting their hands dirty. They had had to really only chase away a few of the crew members. Selina was dissappointed in this, she had been hoping for a far better defense put up, and perhaps even meet the infamous Jack Sparrow, she had heard he was quite the handsome one.
At the moment she was in her cabin, making it more like home, well something that had once felt like it anyway. So she ruffled up the sheets, turned out the candles, and made sure water was in her wash basin. A bit odd but, now she could actually sleep here...that is if she EVER did get back to just sleeping at night. She put on a sly smirk as she thought about this.
Selina washed her hands, she had taken a jab at one of Jack's crew members and she had smiled seeing the woman in agony. She had thrown them all below decks, with the help of a few others. Now they were locked down in the cells, but she'd soon return to check on their status.
With that, Selina tied her black, wild, waves under a brown scarf, and headed up to the decks. Her arrival announced by the soft jingling of her jewelry and bangles. As she made her way up on deck, she caught but a glance of Damien who looked paler than usual. "Damien?" she asked lifting a dark brow as he hurriedly brushed passed her. With his presence being so close, it sent a shock through her, but she shrugged it off again. Looking up she noted Barbossa and gave a smirk.
"Brilliant, Barbossa, simply brilliant...if I may say so myself." Selina told him as her ruby lips spread into a smile. She walked up to him and leaned against the railing staring up at the pale moon. "Of course, without my stealthy entry to catch them off gaurd, we would have never taken the ship." She teased looking at her long nails. They were dirty with grime and blood, this was always a spot she missed when cleaning her hands.
Suddenly her thoughts turned to Damien once more. Ever since they met there was a sort of...barrier between them. She wanted him, no question about that, but he was resisting far more than she had liked and that was turning her away from him. Selina was not a patient woman and she would find other means...

< Diana laughed and shrugged> "Mate, I'll learn to master aany weapon if my life's in danger. The question is what one do you feel more comfortable with?"
<She kept listening, worried that they'd be discovered before they had a chance to escape.>
