Apollo shook his head and answered back silently to hermes. "let them have a moment. They have just discovered each other. And it may be best to let them get over the shock first. They still must learn of Rose."
His gold eyes sparkled as he turned to Hermes. "Besides, it's not every day we get to witness the reunion of a legend with his children. But soon. let the news sink in."
Apollo polietly turnd to anyone else who remained in the cabin, letting Jack have a moment or two with his newly discovered son. he motioned to Hermes and asked him in a whisper. "What of Rose?"

*Maria was about to leave the cabin when she saw Sarah wandering in asking for a spare cabin. She didn't look well. As the girl questioned Will she had nothing to do so she would help her* " I got it Will..." * Maria smiled and lead the girl through the corridors checking every cabin to see if they were occupied* " You feeling ok? Sarah is it?"

Evelyn was almost left alone upon the decks as it seemed most were heading below decks and towards the cabin. All of sudden, she felt very alone, again. Eve smirked slightly, this almost felt foreign to her, for the past few days she had felt in company, so in touch with everyone, but not anymore...now she felt so distant.
Evelyn gave a sigh and sought some company, thus headed down towards the cabins. Her leg still throbbing as she limped all the way there. She made her way down the corridor, peeking inside Jack's cabin to see him embracing Hawk and she lifted a brow. What was this all about? She eyed Roux, gave him a small nod, and Orestes whom she simply rolled her eyes at. She had accepted the man's apology, but she never said she'd be NICE to the man.
Then spotting Will inside as well she decided to move on, she'd find out about this a bit later. Instead her honeyed eyes found their way to Maria and Sarah. Evelyn sighed heavily and scratched the back of her head, contemplating wether to help them out or not, the thought of Sarah being so cozy with Eric still tugging at her pride a bit. But she reminded herself, he was none of her concern anymore...
She gave in finally, however, and groaned. "Ah, bloody hell." She said as she headed down and met the two younger women. She moved ahead of them and motioned for them to follow. Then she kicked her cabin door open and stepped aside. "Here, ye can use my cabin fer now." Evelyn said waving Maria and Sarah inside. "Jus' don' mess anythin' up!" she called to them with a bit of smirk.

* Coming down the hall she and Sarah came upon Evelyn. As she came closer sensed a short tension, but it soon broke away as Evy walked passed them and motioned for them to follow, telling them both Sarah could use her cabin. As she entered the small room she warned them to not disturb anything.* " We'll heed your word!" * She called back, a menacing grin beginning to form on her face. Se shook her head and set Sarah down on Evelyn's cot* " Here.." * She said holding out a glass of water for her to drink* " You are sick, aren't you?" * She didn't answer, but the paleness of her face answered for her* " Eve! Before you go, get me some bread from the galley will you?" * She yelled heading toward the door looking out to the corridor where Evelyn stood*

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Jul 6, 2004 15:25:28 GMT -5
::After Selina had left, Barbossa paced around in his cabin trying calm his mind. So much had happened in just one day, so much had gone wrong....::
::For all he knew, Jack Sparrow could be dead, sinking to the bottom of the sea at that very moment. He would never get his chance for revenge now. He slammed his fist down on his desk and slenched his teeth. No, it couldn't be true. He'd tried to kill Jack so many times before... he'd tried shooting him, marooning him on deserted islands. The man was simply too hard-headed to die. There was no way he would fall to a single bullet!::
::Barbossa began to relax a bit. He sat down in his chair, weary and strained, and stared at the empty wall::
::His thoughts suddenly returned to Evelyn Pearl. Such a curious woman.... she was fierce, yet beautiful. Dangerous, yet...captivating. Something about her haunted the captain, refused to let him forget her. Fate, it seemed, wasn't finished interfering with his life::
::Finally, however, his exhaustion consumed him, and he slipped into a feverish sleep in his chair. The candle burned lower and lower, until it finally snuffed out and left the room pitch black. Barbossa tossed in his sleep, fighting against the horrible demons of his dream world. Icy fingers clawed at him, sucking the air from his lungs and draining the blood from his body. Glowing eyes surrounded him, tormented him with their relentless gaze. Then two black, wispy hands began to reach for him. Closer, closer...::
"N-NOOOO!!!" ::He bolted up in his chair, nearly bolwing Selina over in the process. The young woman cried out in surprise, and backed into the desk. An awkward silence followed, the only sound in the room that of Barbossa's heavy breathing::
::From somewhere on the desk, Selina lit a candle and held it to her face. She was still covered in dried blood, and was scowling quite menacingly, but Barbossa relaxed a bit::
"What the bloody 'ell are ye tryin' ta do ta me?! Damn ye, woman..." ::He wiped the sweat from his brow and moved over to the window, opening the shutters and letting in the late afternoon light. He turned to Selina and raised an eyebrow:: "Well? What d'ye want?!"
::Selina fought back the urge to slap her captain again, knowing she was already on his last nerve. Instead, she merely sighed and set the candle down:: "I got the information you wanted. About....Damien." :: Dammit, she hadn't even started yet and she was already feeling guilty....::
"Ah! There's me girl! Ye don' need ta give the details about HOW ye found out.... just what 'e said."
::Selina cringed and clenched her fist. She was sick of everyone always mocking her... 'profession.' This would be the last time Barbossa would degrade her...::
"Selina..??"
::She swore under her breath, but forced herself to look up at her captain:: "He's a vampire," ::she stated bluntly. Barbossa was silent for a long while, and Selina suddenly began to fear for her own safety. What if he didn't believe her...?::
"...A vampire, ye say....? Guess that would explain a l't. " ::He sat back down and looked thoughtful for a moment. He wasn't sure he believed it yet, but....he wasn't sure he didn't either:: "Did 'e say why he's 'ere?"
"Aye... he wants something called the 'Box of Immortality.' He said Jack Sparrow..." ::Here she gulped, hoping that mentioning his name wouldn't remind Barbossa of her punishment:: ".....would know where to find it."
::Barbossa stared for a long time out of the window. Perhaps....just perhaps.... Suddenly turning, he started toward Selina:: "Come with me." ::He grabbed her arm and began to drag her off to Callisto's quarters. Perhaps....just perhaps...

((I'm going to be gone for a few days, so I'm just gonna stay bed ridden for a bit.))
Sarah gratefully followed Maria around until they found Evelyn who offered them her cabin. Sarah hesitated, feeling tension between her and the girl. She was, however, to weak to decline. She quickly got into bed and pulled up the covers. She was oddly cold, freezing actually. She graciously drank from the cup Maria gave her. Thank you, and yes, it is Sarah. Sarah smiled a bit then lied down. I'm not going to be able to stay here long. That Evelyn doesn't like me. She'll be wanting her cabin back soon. Then Sarah drifted off to sleep.

Evelyn nodded and was about to head away when Maria's voice rang out to her and Evelyn groaned. She clenched her fists and felt a bit angered at her demand. "Could she have bloody asked for it?!" Evelyn muttered taking deep breaths. "NO! She had to BLOODY DEMAND IT!" Evelyn called out in the hall and reluctantly, headed to the galley.
Evelyn had never liked taking orders from anyone but a captain but she knew that starting a quarrel right now with that young woman would cause more problems that she didn't want to have to face.
Limping towards the galley she looked inside and sought to find some bread, muttering incoherently the entire time. This had been the last straw for Eve, she was already overwhelmed with emotion from distancing herself from Eric and now THIS! It was as if she was losing respect from the crew...they couldn't even ask her politely for anything now...no...they just told her to do it. Evelyn had decided she was going soft and really would need to change her attitude to get that respect back...what Evelyn needed right now, was some rum.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Selina blinked as Barbossa took her by the arm and dragged her out of his cabin. He squeezed her arm hard as he led her down past where Damien was at the very moment, and towards a door where a woman's voice echoed. Selina stood there as Barbossa took out a key and clicked open the door.
Without a word Barbossa thrust Selina into the dark room and she fell onto the ground. Standing quickly her eyes looked over the woman and she widened her eyes. Next to herself, the woman was easily the prettiest woman she had ever seen. Although her features were a bit shocking.
Then the interrogation began, Selina would be there to hear everything as Barbossa carefully extracted all Callisto knew...as only Barbossa knew how...

* Maria watched as Evelyn stomped away to the galley, after muttering a few curses in the corridor. Maria glanced towards the now sleeping Sarah and heaed out. After hurrying herself a bit she caught up to Evelyn in the galley. She grasped her arm and when seeing Evelyn's expression, she could tell she was greatly annoyed. She had had this voyage had started* "Whats wrong with you Eve? I- I mean whats the matter?" * Evelyn seemed to annoyingly ignore her by reaching into a crate for a bottle of rum. Maria stopped her hand halfway from taking it.* " Eve..." * She said softly guiding her hand away from the rum, she had always stopped Emma before now it was Evelyn's turn* " Whats wrong?'" * She said softly*
(sorry i ncp'ed you eve)

Emma rose to her feet."I can' just sit aroun' like this all day,love,"she told Rick,squeezing his hand slightly."'M goin' t'th' galley,want anythin'?"
He shook his head,pulling out the cord that tied back his shaggy black hair."I'll go below with ye,check out damage t' th' hull,see what I c'n do..."They walked together below deck,then parted ways at the door to the galley,as Rick went on down to the hold,grabbing a toolbox from by the door.Damage from the fight didn't seem to be too bad,but it wasn't in good condition thanks to years of neglect at the hands of the ship's rightful owners.Taking a hammer and some nails,he set to work.
Meanwhile,Emma swaggered into the galley,nonchalant as usual despite her injury.She saw Evelyn and flashed her a grin."See y'survived...Always good t'know..."Kneeling,the young woman rummaged through the contents of the cabinet with her good hand.Her injured arm hung limply at her side,sash still tied around it like a bandage.Then she laughed,and stood up,a bottle raised triumphantly in her hand.
"Rum...th' cure f'r all ills.Wan' some,Evy?Always good t'share...looks like y'could use some.What's got y'so worked up?"

Evelyn looked over to Maria as she spoke and she laughed. "Wrong? Nothin', I'm positively bloody glowin'!" Evelyn told her with a smirk. "Here's yer bread." Evelyn said sternly as she reached up into a cupboard and pulled out a small roll of bread. Glancing at it it looked hard and dried, but that was typical of all bread on a ship really. "An' ye can kindly NOT try and deprive me of my rum, savvy? Besides, its fer...erm...medical reasons." Evelyn told her with a smirk and rolling her eyes a bit. NO ONE was going to deprive her of some well deserved rum. "An' honestly, YOU should just give it a swig...helps ye out, really, it does." Evelyn told her with a stern look on her face. She had never really spoken to Maria before, but it seemed everytime she did Maria was looking down on her in some way, perhaps it was because of the drinking, something Maria didn't do, but she wasn't about to feel bad for living a bit...
Evelyn then looked over as Emma entered and smiled broadly. Her drinking buddy was in! "Emma! Good ta see yer alive too, was startin' ta miss the mindless rantin' that comes as a result of yer almost constant drunkeness!" Eve told her as she took Evelyn took out two mugs and placed them on the table as Emma lifted the bottle in one hand. "Gah, yer all in one piece, I hope?" Evelyn said nodding towards her bound arm.
She had been wondering where Emma had gone off to. "Where's Rick? It's rare the man isn' followin' ye around like the plague." Evelyn said giving a laugh as Emma began to fill her mug up with the rum.
It had been a while since she had a taste of it and having it back on her lips was simply heaven. She hadn't had a taste since Tortuga and that was all TOO long ago for Evelyn now. Besides the rum would help drown out other thoughts that were plaguing her at the moment...

* Maria watched as Evelyn shoved the piece of bread into her hands. I'm not getting anywhere, Maria thought. She pushed Maria's hands away from her and reached once more for the rum. Evelyn told her she should try it. Maria sighed and plopped down onto the floor at exactly the same moment Emma had walked it. * " Oh lovely.." * She said to herself. Evelyn was bound to drink until the next dawn now. She watched the two mingle from her position on the floor. She glanced into the cabinets, the bottles of rum stared back at her. She was young, and hated the taste but maybe, she thought, this time it would taste different. She reached for a bottle and took a long hard swig. The golden liquid poured down her throat. It did indeed help stress that was in her at the moment. She took upon a large barrel and sat upon it. Rum in one hand, bread in the other*

Emma chuckled softly."Rick's off workin'...fixin' up th' hull.Lad does follow me around like a lost puppy,though,doesn' 'e?"She took a sip of her rum,sitting on the table and laying her arm across an empty keg."So,'o fixed up yer leg?I really need t'get better medical attention f'r this,"she said,indicating the green cloth stained with red fastened around her left arm."Mind ye,I'm quite 'appy with this good ol' fashioned sailor's remedy f'r th' time bein'..."Grinning,Emma lifted her mug."'Ere's t'you,mate.An' t'hopin' we don' manage t'get ourselves killed anytime soon..."

Evelyn looked over to Maria as she took up a bottle and she smiled. Evelyn was glad to see she was able to spread her corruption to others, hopefully one day the whole world will be poisoned with her influece. Looking back to Emma she frowned slightly as she asked who cleaned up her wound. "Will...an' Eric." Evelyn said Eric's name quickly trying to forget him, pushing him out of her mind yet again, although it was proving difficult.
Evelyn took a long swig from her mug emptying it and slamming it on the table again. "Fill 'er up again." Evelyn asked Emma nodding her head to her empty mug. "Ye should get that looked at." Evelyn told her as she took another long swig of rum. "The ol' Sailor's Remedy never does fail to please does it?" Evelyn told Emma liftinga curved brow. This is what she needed, some good company, and some rum.
As she toasted to her Evelyn gave her a grin. "No, no, mate, here's ta you Em! An' I'll agree ta not gettin' ourselves killed too soon!" Evelyn said as she lifted her mug and tapped hers with her own before she downed it quickly. Already she was feeling better and she poured more rum into the mug. "Need some more already...this should be a good night!" Evelyn said giving Emma a wink as she headed over to the crate and bringing over another bottle of rum.
"Ye know Emma, ye really are somethin' unnatural, how can ye hold ALL that rum, mate?" Evelyn asked her remembering their contest. Now Evelyn was drinking simply to drown out the other thoughts screaming in her head. For one she had Selina to worry about and Eric...the man just couldn't stop roaming around her head, so she'd drown the man out. Taking another long swig Evelyn blinked as the room became a bit out of focus. She knew tonight she'd have a good night's sleep indeed...

* Maria kicked against the barrel as though she was a small impatient child. Words from Emma and Evelyns conversation drifted from their circle over to her. At the mention of Wills name a strangle tingle crept up her spine. She felt perplexed at the same moment wondering why such a feeling would come to her. Maria looked down at her bracelette. The initials were fuzzy and when Maria drew the bottle to her lips, she found that it was empty.* " What in bloody-" * She had hated drinking before and now she found herself with an empty bottle which her herself had drank. Maybe it was this ships madness and her faded past that drew her to the golden bottles... maybe... she thought staring up at the ceiling counting planks one by one*

*Will smiled and shook his head as Jack offered him rum. Surprisingly it was Elizabeth who drank it more often than he did. But then he gave the bottle a second glance and shrugged.* What the hell! *He said, grinning as he snatched it and took a gulp. His eyes squinted a bit as he wiped his mouth and he handed the bottle back over to Jack. Then he watched curiously as little by little things began to grow tense between the Captain and Hawk. A confused look came over his face and then it hit him. Hawk did look a great deal like Jack. Will's jaw dropped for a moment but then it quickly closed again. After witnessing Gisele and Scarlet in Tortuga a year ago he figured it didn't seem like that strange of an idea. Then as the two men embrassed Will smiled warmly. He found it rather strange that Jack of all people had a child but honestly, Will figured the man needed something like this.*
*Eric slapped the crewman on the back as the two of them finished a bit of repair work on the Hells Revenge. He thrust his hands in his pockets and glanced around a bit.* Not exactly as good as new but then again she wasn't that great of a ship to start off with. *He stated. The crewman snorted and trudged off as Eric lingered for a moment, gazing out to sea. He caught a glimpse of Evelyn as she headed below decks and he smiled a little. Then he quickly frowned and shook his head. He couldn't think of her like that anymore. No, whether he liked it or not he had to think of her as just another member of Jacks crew. Then he sighed and headed off to a cabin, flopping down on a bed face first into the pillow. He mumbled curses under his breath and then rolled over, staring at the ceiling.* Bloody hell, this isnt gonna work. *He groaned and decided to go get him a rum bottle, or two, or three. He rose slowly from the bed and started to trot down the stairs below deck when suddenly he spotted Evelyn, Maria, and Emma who were seemingly drunk and he raised a brow. He walked slowly towards them and casually grabbed a bottle, giving them each a curious glance then he turned and started to hurry off again back to his cabin.*[/color]
