A year has passed since the events concerning the gods of Greece. Since then Jack and the crew’s lives had been quite uneventful, well as uneventful as a pirate life can get that is. With a few new crew members, Jack has sailed his crew to hell and back, pillaging, plundering, and gaining quite the notorious reputation. However, one not so scheduled trip to England, and to Evelyn’s home town, has brought about a new treasure to seek, a new endeavor, and possibly the next great adventure for Jack Sparrow and those aboard the Black Pearl.
A map has been found, once believed to be lost to the infernos of a previous pirate raid. A map revealing the location of a treasure TOO good to pass up, despite the warnings of a curse within it, an entire city of gold is a bit hard to pass up. With the map both in Evelyn’s trusted memory, and in Jack’s hand his crew are ready to go to hell, quite literally, and back for a piece of this city of gold.
Meanwhile, Barbossa hasn’t missed a beat, and although he was beaten to the ultimate relic last time, this time it is HE who has the upper hand. Although Jack and crew know about the treasure, they remain oblivious to the true power resting there, the Dagger of Curunin, an ancient dagger that posses the power to send those it kills to the Underworld, a hellish purgatory until the ending of the world. Barbossa’s thirst for vengeance is all but insatiable, and it is for THIS reason Bossa also makes for Central America, hoping through simply wandering about he too can find this city of Gold and the dagger which would finally give Jack Sparrow his due.
When Barbossa finds Jack Sparrow also in the jungles however and learns of Evelyn’s knowledge as to the location of the gold he concocts an evil plan that would not only give him the way to the City of Gold, but also an edge in the never ending battle between Barbossa’s crew and Jack’s. It’s a scramble and tangle to riches and relics…with not only eachother to compete with, but also the jungles themselves who also have threats within them that neither crew has even begun to prepare for…
Rules:
1. no spamming
2. ALWAYS STAY IN CHARACTER
3. NO cursing!!!!
4. Common curtesy is a must
5. NO GODMODING (unless otherwise stated)
6. have fun maties
-Plot credited to Evy and Bossa

::Jack smiled at her, a half smirk. A sly, "I-am-so-gonna-win-this-cause-I'm-Captain-Jack-Sparrow" look.....::
::She was touching his lips and he stopped. Well...okay....a bit unexpected but nothing to worry about...again..she wanted to play, he didn't have trouble doing that...::
::He could feel her discomfort....could feel it in every inch of her body...despite her voice he knew it.....he smiled to himself....and simply relaxed.....yeah....just watch that reaction. She being all pent up wouldn't know how to react to that..::
::His entire body just relaxed and he stroked her back:: "Well now this is comfortable, luv." He smiled at her. "Now don't know how long you've had this planned exactlly, but ye could have done this a while ago. Would have settled a lot of problems don't you think?"
::Jack smiled, keeping her attention, keeping her eyes focused on him...:: "So, I got to wonder luv....why exactly are you here in this...rather amusing position?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Normally most ladies would try to avoid me afterwards...." He smiled. "Or did you rather enjoy that?"
::He was keeping his voice leveled and perfectly neutral....only slightly curious. And his hand, the one trailing up her back was putting easy very slightly pressure on her back....almost without her knowledge pushing her down towards him...and still he kept talking....all the while making her focus on him rather then what he was doing:::
"'sides, I'm curious myself....what are you thinking?" And probably quite without warning for her she was again, very very close to him. a inch or so. His face was next to hers and he whispered: "Ye know you'll never win if you can't get away from me..." His breath was playing at the hair next to her ears. "You might be TopSword Tobbs, Miss Victoria..... but I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.....savvy?"
::He moved up just a bit, lifting his head, just enough for his lips to be next to hers. Just close enough to not be touching but able to feel the warmth coming off of them...too close....too much for any sort of comfort....Jack smiled to himself, but otherwise did not move in the least:: "What are ye willing to do to win this little game?" He asked her, mischief running around his voice. "Your move, luv." .#nosmileys#nosmileys#nosmileys#nosmileys

As always, as usual, Fishy once more found himself feeling completely invisible to all those around him. He was near to the other pirates, but even still, none ever seemed to notice. The lad found himself perched on a rock with his knees tucked up, as Paul jumped happily around, sucking merrily on a new bottle of rum. Fishy was enjoying his new companion very much, being as the monkey was the only thing on the island that had recognized his existance besides perhaps Roux.
"C'm'ere Paul," called Fishy quietly, and the monkey obeyed, as the young pirate preceeded to gently pet the creature.

Jason, in all his wisedom, had a feeling they'd need a second watch tonight and so planned on staying up as the crew made camp. He smiled at Rhys: "Well. I'm Jason. A pleasure meeting you." He said looking at Rhys. "I would aks why you were in a boat in the middle of a storm but I know there's only two ways that can happen. One you honestly just lost and thrown into it...or two, you were thrown in by the rest of your former crew."
::He made a fire and motioned to Rhys, indicating she should make herself comfortable: "You should get some rest. We'll probably be walking all of tomorrow, so might as well sleep while you can." He turned to look around camp and by his body movment alone indicated that anyone who wanted to join them at this fire was welcomed. He noted Fishy in particula, with his druken monkey. No doubt Kalin would find it amusing.
"Oi, there mate." He called to Fishy. "Ye can come over this way. So long as you keep the monkey from leaping into the fire. He might be a drunk little creature but I'd still feel bad about it."

Fishy looked up, VERy surprised to be adressed, but happily so and nodded in concent, picking up Paul in his hands saying
"C'mon Paul," once more and took a seat near Jason. Fishy smiled and extended his hand, he hadn't seen this man before.
"Nice t' meet ye..they call me Fishy." Paul jumped up and tugged on his ear.
With a laugh "'N thats Paul."

Kalin had helped Jason, clearing a small area near the fire to make it suitable for sleeping. He smiled at Sarah, a invitation to stay. As was anyone who wanted a fire.
He grinned over at Fishy and the monkey. "Nice little monkey you got there." He smiled evnly, and some what curiously. "I didn't know monkeys liked rum."

Jason laughed and rolled his eyes as his twin, Kalin came over. The pair really did look a lot alike. One could almost not tell them apart. Then turned back to Fishy.
"Nice to be meetin' you then. And you too, Paul. My Name's Jason. " He grinned at them both. "I gotta ask, how exactlly did you get Paul drinkin? I'm not exactly a expert with monkeys or anything but they don't normally drink do they?"
He smiled and threw another bunch of dried leaves into the fire and watched the sparks soar. The air around them now was a bit drier and slightly warmer then before. And a bit more plesant then before as well.

Paul looked up at Jason and chirpped, watching intently as the man threw leaves into the fire. A moment later the primate ran off into the darkness, causing Fishy's head to turn in wonder. But he returned a moment later holding in his hand a leaf he thought particularly nice, and bounded up to the fire and dropped it in, grinning in the way only a monkey can at those around him before clammering his way up onto Fishy's shoulder again.

Jason watched Paul with a smile and then chuckled to himself. "Well he's a smart one."
He looked around in the trees. "If I could see I'd offer him something to eat, but as I can't sorry." Jason smiled. "Remind me to get him something in the morning. all that rum and no food can make anyone sick."

Rhys's smile wavered at Jason's words. The spark went out in her eyes, quickly. She wasn't quite sure what he said that made this happen. All she knew was that any happiness, there had been was gone. Perhaps, it wasn't him at all. Mayhap home sickness was just setting in. In truth she didn't actually have a home. The most she could manage was a dry corner in the back of an alley. She never had a fire, it was too risky.
Overwhelmed with thoughts of home, the theif stood up and made her way towards the edge of the clearing muttering something about getting water. She stumbled a little, wandering into the edge of the jungle, not really watching where she was going. She had left home to escape and find a better life. She wasn't supposed to miss home. She sank to her knees against a tree. Hugging herself, she leaned back and closed her eyes letting memories take her.

Fishy laughed and smiled and gave Paul another pat, and nodded to Jason.
"Aye," said he, smiling. "that he is, that 'e is." he turned to adress Jason directly. "So where'd y' two come from? Never seen you guys before?"

*Tobbs almost rolled ehr eyes at his half smirk. She didn't think he would actually DO anything; kinda leaned onto the hope he was all talk and whatnot....but, well, she had known Jack was a sly one, and she needed to control ehrself from leaning on hope and take in the possibility that he MIGHT be justa s determined to do practically anything to win...this made her more nervous when he began speaking again, and feeling his hand storking ehr back made her wonder exactly how far she herself would be taking this....*
*She soaked up his words for some kind of hint, soemthing that would tell her what he was thinking or planning. She didn't respond yet, for she, for the life of her, could not take her eyes off of him. She had always loved his eyes, always grew to be captivated as she stared in them. Now, thats exactly what she was doing, and his words were all but comforting......she was lost, confused at how far she'd let the game go, what she'd been mistakened in doing. She was corned, as he had been trying to do, no doubt. And for the life of her she froze up, suddenly feeling his breath upon her, realizing how close he had brought her, and listening to his words in quite apprehension.*
*And then it hit her. She blinked slightly, thinking things over in her head. Hadn't he just said that, being Jack Sparrow, he could prove out to win this game? Now that didn't fall too well with her. SHE was TopSword Tobbs, she always won....yes he was Jack Sparrow, but come now, that hadn't held her back before! Why was she relenting so easily? She snapped back to attention when he spoke again, feeling his lips so close....her move...*
*In a fit of determination, she finally lt the nerves leave her, letting ehr body relax and ehr mind set again on whom she was, and the that this was a game, a game which she would win. The playfulness returned in her eyes, the sly smile back on her lips, and she looked at the captain with a purposed desiring look so to try and throw him off.*
"If yer looking for submission captain..."
*She said whispering, letting her lips fall against his and brush them by, tilting her head towards his ear and trying to further their closeness.
"Ya've won that..."
*She said it in the most content way she could, planting kisses on his neck softly as she returned her eyes back up to him. She wasn't going to let apprehension take ehr over. She shifted her waist a bit just to catch more of a focus again to Jack as she slid her hand on his chest.*
"My move, eh? Alright....but remember, the others are not too far...we can' draw attention, now can we Jack?"

::OK....unexpected.....not exactlly what he was planning....in fact..far far from plans....Jack tilted his head just slightly, trying to catch her eyes....::
::something was a bit off here....he had been up until a second ago, perfectly in control...now....he wasn't too sure....what exactly had happened just now? he blinked and took hold of her hand that was on his chest. He eyed her a moment::
::Submission...hardly.....clever...yes....very clever....in fact he made a note to compliment her on it later.....and yet....he paused, and turned his head just enough to to think for a second then stared at her::
"Well....you know what yer doin' doin't you?" He smiled at her. There was something here other then the game going on...something else that he hadn't considered before...and the thought of it made him stop. He'd be nice.....just this once....:: "In fact...I'll bet you've got this game in the bag...but the real question now is how far are you going to take it?"
:Jack smiled, and lifted his head and kissed her lips very gently, almost chastly. It was in fact a "Alright, no more game, what are you going to do?" kiss and he waited for a answer:

*Tobbs had watched Jack's reaction carefully. Either he would unexpect her turn of emotions, or he would expect them. She didn't know for sure, but when she caught the look in his face she knew she'd done the unexpected. He hadn't thought she would've pushed back, eh? She almost didn't think she would've if she hadn't heard that comment that snapped ehr back into the game. And to be sure, THIS game was edging slowly and slowly towards something...what it was she didn't know just yet...or didn't think she knew...*
*As he eyed her, she felt she was being read almost, her thoughts being portrayed, like it or not, in what she had done and what she was thinking. He had grabbed her hand, to stop her from moving it no doubt, and she kept it still as he turned his head for a second or so to think, she judged. When he stared back at her and spoke up, she didn't know how yet to respond. He had found something out, she could judge that...he wouldn't have easily admitted she had the game in a bag...or at least that's what she thought.*
*And then, there was the ending kiss...it made her blink a bit in somewhat confusion as she gazed down at him. He HAD sensed something, hadn't he? She bit her lip for a second in thought, wondering if he had sensed.....well, what he had sensed. She didn't know exactly what to think again. Had he sensed the emotion she was giving in the game, which she hadn't meant to portray in the beginning? Or was he just tricking ehr, or judging that she had become determined to win? Was he actually figuring out she really did love him deep inside, or was it that he had caught her sending her nerves away to tell herself it was just a game?
*But then, to her, was it just a game? It had started out as so, but perhaps...internally, she had wanted more than just the chance to have a moment of triumph over him...she wanted to BE with him, she knew it deep down inside too...and as much as she tried to push it away, perhaps this was how life had wanted her to play such a game as they were....*
*Continuing her thoughtful gaze at Jack, she sighed gently and almost looked to him to answer the question she knew he was asking her. She glanced briefly over towards the direction of the camp, where she caught the glow of the fire just through two or three trees. Returning her eyes back to Jack, she thought. Pondered hard, and while it seemed to be ages, it was only seconds. She accepted the fact that she cared for the captain, but she didn't know if he knew exactly...he could be thinking something else...but what if he wasn't? Then she assured ehrself that he could never care for her...but then ever since the cave when he offered his help, she had wondered if he did care about her as much as the others at least. For Tobbs, this was a puzzle she was trying to piece out in a matter of seconds.*
*Tobbs hesitantly began moving her hand away from his where he held it, not wanting to give up a weakness that she had, which was him and her care for him. But then, as she stared into his eyes, she let it relax and kept it there. She had held back for a year. Frankly, in this situation, she didn't know if she coudl any longer.*
"Jack..."
*She began just in a small whisper. Her voice was full of care in it, this time true care, real desire to be there near him, than the fake one she had tried to convince him was real when they were playing still in such a game. She was stuck again. She couldnt sort out what he was trying to do. She looked at him in puzzlement, asking him with her eyes what was going on, if he had seen what she thought of him, what he was thinking...and the only other thing she could do was keep her hand rested near his, the confusion totally taking her by storm as she gazed down at Jack...*

::Well she was thinking and he wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not.....finally she seemed to him at least, relax...or give up...or give in....or lost her mind or found it.....but something changed....::
::he eyed her a good long while. determined to figure this one out then sighed and reached for her, and wrapped her close to him, this time just a sort of awkward hug, given that he was on his back and she was quite frankly laying on him....which, to be honest was not comfortable.....roots from the tree were digging into his back::
::He pushed himself up slowly and held onto her a moment longer: "Well now, this is one hell of a twist isn't it, luv?" He asked and for a second, refused to look at her. He had to think. Something he didn't do often, or show that he did often, but when he did he didn't like being watched.::
::Jack frowned, then touched her cheek once, as if considering her carefully. This was a new idea....before he'd just been flirting.....teasing..now he saw what was there....and wasn't sure how to act on it just yet. He puzzled over this a few more minutes. Finally he just kissed her cheek::
"Ye know, there's something happening here. And If its to happen I'd rather us not be in the middle of a jungle." Jack said gently. "So go to sleep, or rest now...and we'll see what happens....just rest...." He sat in a more comfortable position and arranged her so she was resting with the back of her head on his chest and sitting between his legs.::
::He curled his right arm around her and reclined just a bit, just enough let her lean back into him. and he sighed. Well...this wasn't what he'd been expecting at all....but well...here it was...Tobbs cared about him.....something he frankly had not been looking for...nor expecting from anyone.....:::
::His other hand went for his sword and he held this at ready at this side. He was still on watch. But honestly a herd of elephants could come crashing thorugh the trees and Jack wouldn't notice.....his mind was still ticking away to it's own private clock..and nothing else mattered now.....:::#nosmileys#nosmileys
