*Eric glanced over his shoulder as Evelyn followed him into the trees and he smiled a little. He laughed when she mentioned it being hot and shrugged at her safety tip.* Mark is a perfect example of that. *He grunted, glancing around. He brushed away the foliage and vines that fell before him and took a deep breath of the fragrant air. The jungle was a beautiful place to be sure, made even more so by a certain someone.
He stiffled back a laugh as she jumped at the sound of the monkeys screech and was about to comment back when suddenly she cried out and hopped backwards. She pressed herself into him but his laughter could no longer be contained. A highly ammused looked came over his face as she prodded at it and it fell, coming towards her.
He worked his way free of her grasp and placed a hand on her shoulder, looking at her with a mischevious grin.* You realize this is one of the deadliest creatures on earth don't you. One bite will send you to the most excrutiating death you'll ever expirience! *He exclaimed, of course lying. But he was enjoying toying with her a bit. He turned back to face the snake and raised a brow, carefully moving towards it and manuvering himself until he grasped the tail and swiftly tossed it back into the thickage.* Evy it was just a snake. Not to mention one that was harmless. *He stated, throwing his arm around her shoulder. Then he grinned and rolled his eyes.* Bloody softie. *He laughed.*

Evelyn looked to Eric as he moved in front of her and she blinked. "Careful Eric...that thing could probably swallow ye WHOLE!" She stated as she glared at it and hissed herself. When he placed a hand on her shoulder she blinked at him and she went pale, which was quite an achievement for someone as tanned as Evelyn really. "R,r,really?" she muttered a bit as she looked to the snake and backed up a bit in terror. She looked as if she were about to faint really.
"Gah! Careful ERIC! No...erm...wait! WHY are ye TOUCHING it?" She stuttered in a horrified tone. He picked the creature up and tossed it to the side and Eve stood there still as a stone and blinked in the utter silence, at least except for the constant cacophony of birds and beasts. When Eric came back to her she looked a bit sickly and he placed an arm around her shoulders. She looked to his hand resting around her, the SAME one that had touched the snake and she blinked.
As he laughed she gave a small smirk. "Hehe...er...righ'...funny...erm...ye TOUCHED that thing with that..." She told him poking his hand and then biting her lip. "A snake then...really? Haha...well isn' tha' lovely...?" Eve trailed off as she attempted to chuckle but then blinked and fainted, hitting the ground with a thud.
The whole event had shocked and frightened Eve to the core, but the faint would pass VERY quickly. It took a LOT for Evelyn Pearl to EVER faint, and even more to keep her that way. It was clear to everyone present there however, that Evelyn wasn't very fond of snakes...

Roux had rowed ashore like everyone else, looking at the rainforest with some measure of amusment. Well this would be fun. Half the pirates had probably never seen the creatures that lived in this place. It'd be fun to be sure.
He walked along with them all, silently keeping to himself and watching the trees for any sign of real trouble. Snakes,spiders, rabid monkeys. Whatever. Nothing he was overly fond of, but certainly nothing to fear just yet.

Fishy found himself once more, completely unnoticed....well, perhaps except for one. As he hopped down onto the sandy beach, he soon noticed a tiny monkey constantly in his trail. The lil bugger had black fur with a white head, and it appeared to be very young, looking up at Fishy with big, round eyes. So Fishy did the same, and gazed back at the monkey until his legs tired and he sat down on a rock. The monkey meeped and quickly hopped up to sit next to the young pirate, a moment later scrambling up to his shoulder and gnawing at his hair. Fishy laughed, and reached into his belt pocket, drawing out a small flask of rum. He didn't drink the stuff himself, never did, but others could usualy use it. Sooooooooooooooo,
he offered it to the monkey, who downed it quickly.
Soon the monkey was howling and squeeking happily, wobbling around to the great amusement of Fishy.
"I shall call you Paul." said he, and the monkey chirped in agreemnt.

Roux had turned when he heard a monkey, apparently loosing it's mind. He looked around confused for a few seconds until his eyes found Fishy, and what appeared to be his new drunken friend.
He walked over looked at the monkey with a small smirk on his face. "well, you made a new friend it seems, Fishy." Roux said with a broad grin. "Doesn't look like he can hold his rum."

Paul, as he was now called, screetched angrily at Roux and quickly proceeded to climb his way up the larger man and onto his head, which he beat mercilessly with his tiny fists until Fishy had to forcibly remove him and calm him with another swig of this wonderful, intoxicating drink that the primate found so delightful. He continued to chirp happily and nestles himself, curling up around Fishy's neck.

Kalin, the younger of the twins marched along with the other pirates, a look of great amusment playing across his face. they'd survived a storm, and it had all been one hell of a ride for him. He enjoyed every minute of it.
He was a young man still, the sparkle of curiousity had not dimmed from his eyes and his face was one of open kindness and wild mischief. He nearly tripped over a vine, and at once heard his twin brother's smart remark from behind.
"Very graceful. Like a blind ox in a glass shop." Jason's voice came up to him. Kalin laughed at the remark, having always been able to make fun of himself it didn't bother him.
"Well maybe if you'd keep up and stay ahead of me you'd be able to warn me next time." Kalin answered. "After all, it's not my fault you're slow and old and going senile."

Jason merely laughed at his twin, who was showing a vast amount of interest in the surrounding forest. No doubt his twin was also looking for something to amuse himself, which made Jason nervous.
Kalin, being Kalin would probably find some deadly snake to go play with. Jason, being the older of the two was a bit wiser. The hour in diffrence of age made a large difference somehow.
He smirked as his brother tromped on ahead, and laughed when he nearly tripped. At the senile remark, Jason shook his head.
"Better to be old and slow and alive then rash, stupid and dead, little brother." He replied, and moved up towards him. "You know, maybe I will go first. You'll probably walk right off a cliff or something." He muttered and gave his twin a playful slap over the head before continuing on. #nosmileys

"Yeah? Well Brother, ever hear the saying: "Death is more universal then life. Everyone dies, not everyone lives." Kalin replied and ducked the slap, but got hit anyway.
He smirked and kept pace with Jason. "You know just because you're one hour older does not make you wiser." At Jason's raised eyebrow he continued. "Example. That time in Venice. The girl and her father..." Kalin began a smirk growing on his face as Jason's face grew red.

"Might I remind you it was a mess we would have never been in had you not went and kissed the betrothed girl in plain veiw of her father, dear brother of mine."
Jason shook his head. His brother neither reaped hearts nor broke them, but he certainly had a knack for getting into trouble. A fact Kalin seemed blind to.
"and might I remind you that you may have been dead or in jail had I not been able to hide you in that catherdral bell tower quickly enough? That mob was rather large, or have you forgotten?"

"I did forget, come to think of it.." Kalin smiled brightly. "But you dressed as a priest is a image I'll never be able to get out of my mind." Jason rolled his eyes. Kalin rambled on.
"It was after all brillant. I didn't even know you knew Latin until that point."
"Nor did I until I realized it'd be the only thing that'd save your pathetic skin." Jason countered. Kalin just laughed and glanced at the drunk monkey who was attacking Roux as they walked by. Kalin watched with a open grin as Fishy pried the small animal off Roux's head and laughed.
"I need to find a monkey. Fun lil things they are. Simple minded, great pets."
"Like you? Dim witted and easy to amuse?" Jason asked and kept walking. Kalin was tricked into laughter once more and followed his older brother. #nosmileys

Post by Sarah Fleming on Aug 27, 2004 15:53:11 GMT -5
Sarah started dozing off, slightly rocking with the ship. The ship stopped suddenly and her head banged aganist Maria's bedside table. Sarah woke up suddenly and rubbed her head. She looked over at Maria, but she still seemed asleep. Sarah lightly patted her arm and then quietly got up and left the room. She looked out to see most of the crew on deck and the some of them lowering the boats to go to shore. Sarah looked back towards Maria's cabin, but knew that Maria would be ok. Sarah got into one of the boats and walked with the crew farther inland in silence. She noticed two new crew members that she hadn't met before. They were two young men and looked familiar. She walked over to Jason and Kalin and introduced herself. Hello, I'm Sarah Fleming, I haven't seen you around. I assume your new but... Sarah kind droned off, feeling as if she was rambling.

Evelyn blinked and fluttered her eyes open to see Eric looming over her and a few other faces. "What the bloody 'ell jus' 'appened?" she groaned as she sat up slowly and made to stand. Gazing around she leaned a hand against a tree to keep her from falling and then shook her mane of curls out a bit. "Well tha' was interestin'..." She said as she gave the crew a smrik and nudged Eric a bit. "Now keep up...an' where the HELL is Jack?!" Eve called a bit angrily throughout the jungles.
Her honeyed eyes scanned the greenery meticulously before she spotted Jack in the distance. " 'EY! Cap'n, would ye bloody slow down!?" she shouted after him as she hurried through the jungles towards him. As she got closer however she slowed her pace. It seemed he was a bit busy with something and as Eve drew nearer she noticed the Captain locking lips with Tobbs! "HOLY MOTHER O'...!!" Evelyn blinked and looked at the two and gave a smirk.
"Well, well, well..." Eve began as she crossed her arms. "If ye two WANTED a bit o' time alone, ye COULD have just asked, ye know." Evelyn told the Captain and Tobbs as she offered them a wink. The curls were clinging to Eve's tanned skin now, she was kissed with humidity, it seemed that a warm dew clung to the very air in this tropical setting. Small shafts of light came in at various places and Eve gave a small jump again at the screech of a monkey and shook her head. It would be near impossible for Eve to get sleep here tonight, she knew THAT much.
Looking between Tobbs and the Captain however she smirked. There had always been tension between the two, and she was happy they finally went and got it over with.

::Jack blinked and gave Evelyn a "oops" look and laughed then looked at Tobbs nervously, as if calculating the velocity of the slap coming his way. You could almost see him working out the problem in his head:
"If Tobbs is kissed for over seven seconds, and she is caught three seconds later by crewwoman X, with her hand traveling at 50mph, how long will it take for it to reach Jack Sparrow's face that is two feet away?"
::He eyes Evy closely with his dark eyes and from his posture alone one could tell he was ready to spring away at a split second's notice:

Evelyn looked at Jack and then back at Tobbs. It seems the kiss must have been something rather spontaneous, sprung up on Tobbs by the Captain, or else WHY would Jack look as if ready to dash in a moments notice, and why in God's name would the look of actual pondering be on his face. Evelyn looked to Tobbs and laughed, hoping to save her Captains skin. She edged her way slowly towards him and placed a hand upon his shoulder.
"Hehe...don' worry Tobbs...tha' was funny really...should 'ave seen the look on yer face..." Eve said with a small forced chuckle then lowered her voice to a whisper to speak to Jack. "Run fer yer life...don' look back...an' God speeed..." Evelyn stated nudging Jack a bit as he looked about ready to sprint into the jungles. Between getting lost in a jungle of strange, terribly, and deadly animals, and simply standing here ready for Tobbs' retort for Jack's rash actions, she believed he'd take the latter in a heart beat.
Evelyn had always known Tobbs to be a rather tough lass, never too keen on allowing one to have their way with her and she had been greatful enough to have been on Tobbs' good side really, the pair of them got along real well, but she feared her wrath at times. Looking to Jack's terrified face, she deemed he was a TAD worried about what she might do as well...
