"Aye, you'd be suprised Jack....or mayhap not really..."
*She whispered back and smiled as she, in fact, was practically always impatient. Waiting was just not her, but then she did like to strategize at some point in time.*
*She inched forward as he did and looked back at some of the other crew members who were inching forward as well. When she heard Callisto's words her eyes widened and she pondered if she should try for the box...but then her temptation slowly diminished mostly; she wasn't one who wished for immortality, but she wasn't lookind forward to die really. She was fine with how life was for her.*
*Really worried that the thought of immortality would get to Jack, she rolled her eyes again as he slowly inched forward more. Was he plotting or just trying to annoy her and keep from going in the bloody cave place?!*
"Alrigh', that's it, I can' take it any longer."
*She sighed and tightened her left hand on her right swords hit and her right hand on her left sword hilt, getting ready to draw them completely. She stepped in front of Jack and began marching straight forward towards the door of the cave and planned barging in and jumping on one of pirates.*

::Jack flung himself foreward and tackled Tobbs to the ground in a rather unceremonius manner, and landed on top of her, his face a inch or so from hers. Forced intimacy he hoped would shock her into silence. He hissed:
"Tell me, Miss Brighton..do ye ever use that pretty head of yours?" ::Before she could answer he put a hand over her mouth, and then put a finger to his lips: "Shh..... wait for the oppurtune moment luv......:::
::The said he lifted himself just enough to let her move, and then he crept towards the door, drawing his sword as he went. he wanted to know what the room looked like. Where his target was......then he could act, and win:#nosmileys

*Tobbs was, in one moment, close enough to the door to barge in and start fighting, and in another moment, she was on the ground with Jack on top of her and quite close at that. She was shocked at first, then suddenly her temper took ahold of her as always just as he spoke.*
Bu-*And in an instant he was covering her mouth with his hand as he held a finger before his lips and told her to wait. She tried saying a few things but only a slight mumbling could be heard since he had his hand blocking any kind of normal sentence that could get out.*
*Sighing at last and giving up speaking, she raised a brow as he moved over and began slowly going for the door. She watched him and narrowed her eyes, plotting to get some form of revenge on him. She crept up just beside him and whispered without looking at him*
"Once this is all done, you best be watchin' yer back, Cap'n."
*Saying this, she scoot back slightly so he could have his space watching what was going on. She had half the mind to startle him somehow, but decided this wasn't the exact time to do so and kept silent, replacing her hands on her hilts.*

::Jack turned to Tobbs and gave her what he was sure passed as a charming smile:
"revenge is written on yer face. I assure you it was for yer own good. Barbossa's not one to suffer fool headed lasses like yerself luv..." He gave her a good natured grin, one that said he was joking and he was glad she was ready to fight. but he wasn't about to let her go bargeing in and have all the fun:::
::Jack looked the room over once, noted his target. The Box. and he gave Tobbs a wildly happy grin: "Alright now you can do something incredibly stupid......"
::That said Jack leapt into the room sword drawn and looking as if he owned it and these people were invading his territory:
"Ye miss me, Barbossa?" He asked, slashing his way through a few of Barbossa's crew, and not giving a damn who it was to be honest:
:;His eyes looked up once, seeking out a way to the Box: "So that's it is it?" He asked with some measure of humor. "Well...first one there wins......"
::and he took off running towards the nearest statue....which happened to be the god of wine and illusions, Dionysus....and began climbing for all he was worth:#nosmileys

:Linea went with the crew when they left the ship in search of the box and sighed.:
This shall be an interesting trip no doubt. Immortality at stake for those who want it.
:Looking over at Roux she sighed again. She hadn't spoken to him since her rash words before. Linea wished she hadn't been so harsh with him and added to her previous thoughts.:
So many want immortality, desire it even though they don't know the hardships they will endure. Too many wish this opportunity to live forever, yet hardly see it for the bane it truly is. Some who wish it, need it like I know Roux does. It's part of him that was lost, and it's the part of him he needs. Though, there are some who desire it now, but I am sure will come to hate it in the end. Like Jack, if ever there was a man to desire immortality, it's him. I can see it in his eyes, but I know, that in years to come, he'll see those he loves like Rose and Hawk, fade before his eyes knowing that he should go before them. Knowing that there is nothing he can do to prevent their imminent deaths. Barbosa, now there is a man that if he were to receive this great gift, it would be almost a disaster. To have a greedy and reviled man live forever would be the doom to so many innocent people. So many people with all their own reasons to acquire the box for themselves. It seems as if everyone has a valid reason for wanting it, yet, I find that I don't seem to have one for myself. Yes, if I were to be handed the box I know what I would do with it. I would do what my heart told me and give it to the one most deserving, Roux. The one who lost his godly powers because of me. I have no reason to want it, at least I don't think so. What reason do I have to live forever? What purpose would I serve? None as I look within myself. No reason for me to want immortality, yet there must be. But I guess I'll never know.
:Linea stood there, just watching what would happen, thinking confusing thoughts over and over again wishing she could do something to stop them. She looked at Roux and felt sorry for him, then at Jack wondering what he was thinking at the moment. There was nothing she could do but sit and wait because she didn't want the box. She must have been crazy not to want it or maybe not. The gift of immortality and realization that she could have it should be sending chills through her body just itching for the power, but she felt nothing. She was cold and unmoving, hard and uncaring. Linea hardly knew what would happen next, but she knew it was going to be big.:

Sarah followed Maria towards the deck that was next to the Pearl. Sarah pulled her knife some her boot and gribbed it in her hand. She caught a glimpse of something glimmering on her shirt and she looked down. It was a strand of hair and she pulled it off. She was brown, long, and slightly curly. She sighed and showed it to Maria. It's Evelyn's hair. I must have attained it from Eric's bed. Sarah put on a fake smile. Maybe if I have time I'll return it to her, or Eric perhaps might enjoy it. With that she jumped from Hell's Revenge to the Pearl with ease.

*Tobbs rolled her eyes as he called her a fool rather jokingly, and when he said she could do something incredibly stupid now, she gave him an "you're so in for it when this is done" glance and called after him as he ran into the cave.*
"Like I needed yer bloody PERMISSION!"
*Shakind her head and drawing her swords, she watched him head for the box of immortality and frowned worriedly. Twisting her swords in her hands, she made her way for some of Barbossa's crew as she kept her eyes on Jack half the time.*
"Now, let's finish what we started, ye Scallywags!!"
*She began slashing and jumping and twisting and spinning, rather amused at it all. The only thing that made her somewhat dislike this specific battle was Jack climbing a statue really really high. She called up to him and shouted-*
"Jack, be Bloody careful, I need you not injured when I get my hands on YE!"

(( slightly confused)) <tobbsey edit: we're charging in the caves now, well most of us are doing so and starting the fight between barbossa and jack>
* Maria watched as Sarah pulled Evelyn's hair from her shirt. Listening to Sarah she wondered if the tension between the three was still high. Sarah had jumped over to the Pearl and Maria did the same. With a hand on her hip she glimpsed around the ship, hoping to find something to entertain her*

::Jack seemed to not hear any of them, only crawled higher and faster, determined to reach the Box before anyone else could....if he could just get the Box...:::
::and that's when it took over. A incredible urge to become a immortal. Live forever. A legend! Captain Jack Sparrow. the God......of what...well...he could figure that out later.....god of Tortuga. No no. God of Rum! yes! Much better!!::
::The call from the Box became stronger....tempting....entoxicating....Jack's eyes were wild.....and nearly feverish from his desire to pocess the Box....Immortality.....what he could do with that....:::
::He pulled himself higher, clamoring up the sheer sides of the statue. All the while thoughts of greatness and power whirling in his head...::

Sarah turned to see if Maria made it when something caught her eye. It was Jack, climbing some sort of statue. Oi! Maria, what's Jack doing? Has he gone mad?

Roux tore into the room after Jack and Tobbs, sure the rest of the crew would soon follow.
then Jack made a mad dash for the statue of Dionysus. his eyes followed the statue upwards and his heart skipped. Jack was heading for the Box. the words written on it pounded in Roux's mind.
"Behold. The gods power. Immortality and nothing more." Nothing more.
"JACK!" Roux shouted. if Jack opened the Box he'd be immortal. but that's it. He'd age forever. Growing weaker and weaker but unable to die.
Roux chased after Jack, climbing up a statue that resembled Apollo, himself, touched with gold and made of white marble. He had to beat Jack there. "Don't do it!" He shouted at the pirate. He couldn't do this. unless he knew what was coming.

* Maria glanced at Sarah then at Jack.* " He's going to open the Box!" * She cried out. She saw that Roux had seen this too as he went chasing after him up the statue*

Sarah wasn't sure if all the stories about the box she had heard were true, but if even half of them were true Jack was in trouble. Should we... is Jack... will Roux... Sarah couldn't get the words out. If Jack got ahold of that box, his life could be ruined. Finally she managed to regain herself. Should we go after Jack?

(Jack's having a tiny bit of Gollum issuses...have fun)
::Jack turned desire clouded eyes to Roux. Staring at him from across a huge distance:
"It's MINE!" Jack shouted back, he crawled his way up, reaching the statue's shoulders. He stared at the Box, then down again at the great distance. He frowned and looked up at Roux.
"Mine! my own! Don't try to stop me!" Jack snarled and began walking across th statue's outreaching arm. inching ever closer to the edge. He'd get the treasure.his immortality....:::

" I don't think that sucha a good idea.." * She said as she watched Jacks madness grow heavily every inch he drew closer to the box.* " Looks like Roux can't even get a hold of him" * She moved closer to take a better look * " Jack Ye Mad Man! Yer gonna get yerself killed!" * She shouted to him* ( Sorry these posts are sp short)
