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
Current Going ons... we invented cliff diving! yay! lol..we're on our way to El Dorado. and Bossa ish STILL trying to get us.....

Roux helped the crew back over the cliff one by one,glad to see no serious harm had been done. He eyed the Captain and Will closely, trying to figure out if they were in shock.
Will looked to be in a mild state of trama. Jack just appeared to be having the time of his life. crazy man he was. Roux smiled faintly, glad to see everyone was alright and then backed away, waiting orders.

Jason laughed as his brother and the rest of the rescue team clamored over the side of the cliff, looking distinctly worn down.
"Maybe we should take a short rest." Jason suggested. "Far from the edge if you take my meaning." He added and sort of gently ushered the others away from the edge.
"aye, Jack. I'm ready to try a diffrent way around."

He scrambled up the side of the cliff making sure Emma, Jack, Will and this new girl, Kora were over the edge before he too came up over the side.
Once there, Kalin collasped in a ungraceful heap near his older brother and stared up at him. "Right then. I'll kick yer arse later" Kalin muttered at his brother's smirk. "I just want to stay on solid ground if it's alright with all the rest o' you. Ye know. The kind that stays under yer feet?"

Lily giggled as the crew made it back over the cliff.
"Have fun did ye?" She asked and helped Emma up and then Kalin, Jason, Jack and Will. "Ye know, just climb up with yer bare hands?" Her eyes were laughing and she looked ot where the bridge had been at one point.
"Well. Looks like we take the long way around then." She said and looked back at the jungle. "A shame really. But there has to be a way we can go without dying."

::Jack just smirked and sat down, looking at the place the bridge had been and laughed a bit more, utterly pleased they were in fact alive.::
"Well....suppose we go the long way round." He laughed harder. "I don't think Will'll survive another fall like that...." He of course failed to mention that he, mortal and all, would probably not be so lucky either, but he was Captain Jack Sparrow....death was not threat.:::

*A soft smile formed on Erics lips as Evelyn began to mess with his hands. Consideering the type of life she led, her hands weren't exactly soft and delicate but he enjoyed the feel of them none the less. He looked at her curiously as she pulled a way a little and frowned as she completley left his grasp and went back over to the cliffs edge. He chewed his lip a little and muttered at himself for not thinking before he said things.
But isn't that the way it always ended up. Girl warms up to guy, guy says something he thinks is smart when its really not, girl gets mad at guy, guy is left alone and confused. He shook his head and sighed, thrusting his hands in his pockets as he swayed on his heels. He watched her for a moment and meerley rolled his eyes.
The loud voice of Tobbs caught his attention again and he looked over at her as she struggled in the arms of a few crew members. He laughed and shook his head. He couldn't tell if she wanted to kill Jack or attack him in a most passionate manner when he got back up. Probably both! Not long afterwards Linea popped out of the jungle with coconuts and a strange grin on her face.* The whole damn crew is going mad, must be the humid air. *He stated and hurried over to the cliffs edge as the others appeared. He gave Will a smack on the shoulder as the man rushed past him towards Elizabeth.* Well now lets see what death trap we can send Jack into. *He grunted.*

*WIll glanced over at Jack as the man tied a rope around his waist and began scaling the cliff face. He stared up at him and smirked but followed his lead, securing a vine about himself and finding good footing. He laughed and nodded at the mans next comment.* You mean you keep managing to nearly kill yourself and always end up taking me down with you. *He grinned.* Nothing ever happens to me like this in Port Royal which I think just proves if I do die out here, it'll be your fault. *He snickered.
Suddenly his eyes darted up towards the edge of the cliff as the rather angry voice of Tobbs echoed through the canyon. Will raised a brow and looked at Jack.* By the sounds of it, no matter if you make it up this cliff or not you're dead either way. *He grunted, and wondered how Elizabeth was taking all of this.
An icy voice below him startled him and he glanced down, nearly loosing his grip on the rock face. Wills body tensed up as she drew her blade and aimed it at Jack. He quickly hopped back down to the ground, grabbing his own sword. He wasn't sure of this womans skill with a blade but he was sure he could match it, if not exceed it. He was after all William Turner. His dark eyes glarred at her as she spoke however he replaced his sword as she put her own away.
As she asked to join the Captains crew again a bewildered look came over Wills face and he eyed her curiously. So did she want to kill the man or join him? When Jack took her offer Will followed him back up the cliff, eager to get back to Elizabeth who only a while ago he didn't think he'd ever see, hear, or hold again. He was pulled up over the edge of the cliff and laid there on his back staring up at the sky for a moment simply blinking.
Then he spotted Elizabeth and smiled warmly, springing to his feet and rushing over to her. He held her tightly and kissed her deeply. Pulling away slightly his brown eyes gazed into hers and he took a deep breath.* Well that was interesting. *He said with a laugh, hugging her again.*
Npcing for Maria while shes busy with school! *Maria watched nervously from the cliffs edge as she awaited the return of Will, Jack, and the others who had gone to help rescue them. She smiled in relief as their faces appeared safely over the cliffs edge and she watched Will rush to the arms of Elizabeth. She sighed softly to herself, wondering when and if she should tell him what she knows. She wasn't sure what he would do with the news once he got it. However her thoughts were interupted as she saw a new face appear, a woman whom she remembered vaugely as Kora. She looked at the girl curiously and then rushed to the side of Sarah who had been helping Rhys.* I don't suppose you know where she came from? Ah and it's a shame the bridge fell, Im worried about going the long way. *She said nervously, her eyes scanning the jungle and then the fallen bridge.*

:::Jack just laughed at Will, laughing as if this had all been a joke of sorts::
"Aye....lad....ye can blame me when ye get to Saint Peter's Pearly Gates then...." He laughed again, pleased with himself and the fall in general. If Jack had lived a couple hundred more years he would have discovered the sport of skydiving and the world would have had a new daredevil. However, he chuckled, peered over the side again, and laughed some more:::

*Michael followed behind Selina a bit as she made her way to the boats. He was about to get in with ehr, when he was ordered to help load supplies on a boat as well. Muttering, he glanced over towards Selina and then began doing the duty he was assigned.*
*Once the boat was loaded, he got in the space that was left and prepared to row ashore. There was another man in there, one that didn't look so disgusting and degrading as all the other crew seemed to be, and one who fit a strong standard as Michael himself did.*
"Treasure for all....seems pretty fitting to me, doesn't it?"
*It was small talk, nothing more really, jsut to break the silence. When they landed ashore, he helped unload things and then immediately began searching for the lady whom consumed his thoughts. There she was, standing on the beach, beautiful as always. He grinned as he caught her eye and approached, sweeping his armd around her waist as he looked dowan at her*
"We've come pretty far pretty quickly, wouldn't you say? Gold and treasures, all awaiting behind a curtain of jungle. Although I think I've found my close treasure. Standing right before my very eyes."
*Charm slicked his voice again, but it was earnest charm. He brushed a stray hair from her face and then turned to take a glance at the rest of the crew, making sure to wave slightly at Tasha and nod at the other man he'd tried to talk with on the row boat.*
"Any idea what Barbossa means for us to do?"
*He had turned back to face her, more solemnly smiling, but the edges of his mouth still forming the grin he was accostumed too.*

Post by Evelyn on Sept 10, 2004 1:26:33 GMT -5
Evelyn looked on as the crew gathered and one by one Jack, Kalin, Jason, Emma, and Will managed to climb their way back up the side of the cliff. A small smile grew upon Evelyn's lips, hiding the true troubled, ticking, toiling mind that endlessly worked. It constantly mulled over all of her past it seemed, and she hated herself for this. Even the slightest reminder would bring up a wave of memories, and glancing over at Eric he seemed confused and she sighed.
She didn't WANT to pull away form him, really...It was just, she didn't want him to see the pain in her eyes at the moment. Eve didn't ever want to be the reason for his sadness, so she decided she'd simply block him out when she was feeling distraught. That would be the way...
As the crew gathered itself, Eve laughed at the few oddities that occured, and her honeyed eyes flickered up ahead then she took a few steps towards Eric, watching Elizabeth have her reunion with Will. "They're a smart match..." Eve stated as she crossed her arms and nudged him in the side a bit, giving a nod towards them. "Ye'd think they were meant fer eachother..." She smiled slightly as her eyes grew a bit soft and she brushed ehr right hand through his hair and then she resumed to biting her nails a bit.
She was still uneasy, and it seemed as if the air was growing thicker about her. There was something brewing and she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it might be. "We should get movin' though..." Evelyn said with a heavy sigh, shaking her head, trying to chase away the fatigue that was slightly tugging at her. "I 'ave a bad feelin' an' we need ta get movin'. So stay close Eric...ye never know when I'll have ta save yer skin...." She winked at him.

*Tobbs had finally contained herself (for the time being of course) and had stopped struggling. Those who held her still were standing beside her, almost afraid for their captain's health now that he began climbing up the side of the cliff. She gave a sigh of utter relief at first, and then she grit her teeth, the habitual anger taking her over again.*
*With an unexpected dash, she escaped the hands that reached to stop her from stampeding over and wa, in an instant, next to Jack as he was laughing, pulling him as far as she could away from the edge of the cliff as she spoke.*
"MOTHER'S LUV JACK, WHAT were ya thinkin'?! Did ya not SEE the bridge's weakness! Honestly now!"
*She had stopped ushering him away from the side and was just a few feet away from it now, so she got on her knees next to him and began checking him over as she spoke more, but ehr words slowly turned their tone...*
"Did you 'ave ANY idea what could 'ave 'appened Jack?! Will could've been seriously 'urt! You could 'ave suffered immensely! OI! You could've died! Bloody 'ell!...Jack, you could 'ave died...."
*By now she had more sorrow and anxiety than anything in her words, her eyes pools of worry as she gazed back at him. Why he had to hasten all and nearly get killed half the time after the night she'd just really recognized she had deep feelings for the man, she'd never know. Fate was toying with ehr no doubt.*
*Almost afraid she'd hurt him by just lifting his hand, she squeezed it gently and then drew her gaze away from him, unable to bear the emotion building up inside her. She hid things with anger, yes, so her weaknesses couldn't show. Now she couldn't hide it anymore. She had just let the fact that he could have died register in her mind.*
*Sighing and trying to shake it off, she inched closer and closer to him.*
"Well Sparrow. If you aren' 'urt, we've got another round to play. Care to roll the die first? or Am I ta start us off again?"

::Jack was chuckling feebly still when Tobbs pulled him away from the edge of the cliff, nearly knocking the wind from his body. He winced just slightly when she moved him. He'd survived but that didn't mean he didn't hurt::
::He blinked as soon as she began to check him over and let out a low hiss. "I'm fine, luv....I'm fine...." For all the good that did to stop her he may have been speaking to a brick wall. A stubborn brick wall with no tolerance for stupidity::
::Jack gave up trying and waited for her to just finish whatever inspection she felt she needed to make. She probably thought, all of them probably thought Jack had lost his mind, laughing as he had been. In truth that was the only way he could get out any sort of tension without swearing::
::He'd survived...go him...he was in one piece...go him....scared to death for a few seconds there....hell yes.....but would he show it? Sparrow Pride leaping to life with all hasten and flurry....NO WAY::
"Well Sparrow. If you aren' 'urt, we've got another round to play. Care to roll the die first? or Am I ta start us off again?"
::Jack quirked a eyebrow, and moved close enough to whisper in her ear:: "In front of the crew now, luv?" He asked questioningly, with a playful chortle. "Wait for the oppurtune moment eh? As ye seem so good at finding them....."
::With that he stood slowly, his balence, which seemed dangerously off anyway seemed even more so now, and he wobbled on his feet. Such is the result of falling off a cliff......::
::But he was Captain Jack Sparrow. He checked his map and then pointed to the jungle. "Looks like...well....maybe there's a way to pass below...let's go look..."
::Jack waited as the crew collected themselves.....and in all honestly he wanted to be sure all of them were alright.....they were after all his crew.....and then turned to Tobbs, flashing her one evilly wicked playful grin and then disappeared after them......::#nosmileys

Sarah turned towards Mark when he asked for water. She was about to protest being treated like a maid, but when she noticed he was hurt she quickly obliged. She handed him a cup full of fresh. cold water. Here you go, Mark, right? Sarah looked at his wounds.[/b] How are they doing? Sarah tilted her head towards his side. Sarah waited for his response. His mind seemed elsewhere and he was holding a holwer in his hand. That's a beautiful flower, did you pick it for someone special? Sarah looked over at Rose, then back to Mark with a sly grin. Just don't go breaking her heart mate, alright?

Kalin only smirked and dusted himself off, and took stock of the rest of the crew. Seeing everyone together and in one piece, and noted they had also gained a few people in the blinking of a an eye nodded.
"right then. Let's be off." But he also caught sight of Mark, injured and felt bad. Must hurt like hell. Kalin had never been one very good in healing. In fact his only experience was his brother bnadaging him up after he' had gotten hurt.
But he knew a wound like that needed help and he knew what to do. He unwound the sash that had been around his waist, and went over to Mark.
"I can help a bit with that. If ye just put the right pressure...here." Kalin wrapped the sash around the wound tightly, effectively keeping it dry and out of the air for now. jungle humidity couldn't be good for it. He smiled, pleased with his work.
"Just keep it dry, and speak up if it hurts, alright then?" That said, Kalin the flirt walked off with the others in the jungle, looking for Fishy and his drunk monkey Paul.#nosmileys
