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... Lots of personal emotions and couple spats. (IBLAMETOBBS!) Nice, very nice post there, Evy. I believe some of the crew are still up hunting around for Fishy....and we got a lot of crew in camp, sleeping. So....I'll have morning come.....and we can go look for El Dorado. We need some posting from Barbossa.....cause damnit I need someone to fight! LOL. Alright? So...post away....

(alright...for the sake of sanity, somewhat...I think we should move this rpg just a bit......Bossa needs to get to us.....and we need to find the city. So I'm bringing dawn along and we'll go from there...alright?)
::Jack almost shot the birds when he woke from their twittering. He growled once, and kept his eyes shut, figuring if he just ignored them they'd go away.::
::One bird gave a particulary loud cry and Jack opened his eyes, in a flash had his pistol drawn and fired into the trees, in the direction the offending cry had come from. birds scattered. None of them dropped. Jack grumbled::
"Bloody birds...."
::He yawned and blinked around the camp blearly counting his crew. Who had returned last night? Who had not? Jack wondered vaguly if he'd have to send out a search party again. He lost count after a while, and shook his head. He'd check when he was more awake.::
::Cracking his neck once he looked at Tobbs, gave her a smile and then stood up. He took out his map as th rest of the crew woke up around them. If they had not been awake before his gunfire would have woken the rest.::
::If he was following this map correctly, and he'd been judging time and space well enough he would guess they were only a day or so away from this El Dorado. Maybe two days. He wasn't too certain. finally he just sighed and glanced around camp, wondering if everyone was really ready for another day on the move::
::He really did hope they were......he needed everyone up to strength he wanted to get there soon. With a sigh and yawn he glanced around, waiting for everyone to wake up::

*Will listened as Mark spoke, feeling a little relieved that the man had taken back his word on calling him a traitor. It was a name that Will never wanted to be associated with in his lifetime, considering the tretchory that had happened to his own father. His eyes lowered for a moment as the memory of the story he had been told while in that cell on the Pearl. It pained him to think his father died like that, seemingly standing up for a friend.
Bootstrap may have been a pirate, but he was a damn fine man and so Will was always proud to be the son of this man. He sighed as Mark said his judgement still stood with the others.* Just...don't hold a grudge, Mark okay? They can make you bitter after a while. *He stated and as he made to walk away he heard the man talking to himself about not fittinig in. Will grinned a little and glanced over his shoulder.* And you think the first time I went on an adventure like this that I fit in? Lets just put it this way Mark, guys like you and me...we just dont blend into this kind of crowd. But give it a little while, you'll find your place. *He stated and hurried back over to Elizabeth who was still soundly asleep.
He gazed at her, messing with a lock of hair that was draped over her beautiful face and he gently pushed it behind her shoulder, kissing her upon the forehead. A smile came over his lips and he rested his head against hers, closing his eyes. He felt her arms wrap about him and he took a deep breath and fell asleep.
As morning came he could feel the warm trickle of the sun splash across his face as a few beams peeked through the canopy above. He threw his arm over his eyes but sat up with a start as a gunshot went off. Elizabeth did as well and she clung to Will, her eyes wide as they darted above. The couples gaze landed on Jack as he was cursing at a flock of fleeing birds and their brows raised.
Will stood and went over to the man, shaking his head and slapping him on the arm.* You always have to be fighting something huh. *He grunted, picking up a stick and poking at the fire pointlessly.* Or wereyou just bored since a certain Tobbs was still asleep. *He grinned, side glancing the captain and Tobbs. He stretched a little, tossing the stick aside, eager to start on again towards El Dorado. They were close now.*

::Jack muttered something bout "crack o' dawn" under his breath then glanced at Tobbs::
"I figure we're no more then a day or so away. Keepin in mind that's if we don't fall off any cliffs, or snake pits...we should have smooth sailin'...."Jack glanced up at the mention of Tobbs:
"Yer no better with yer lass..." Jack said defensivly then just laughed. and with a over exaggerated calm he hoped looked normal asked: "So...ye noticed did ye?"
::Jack fidgeted a bit then helped Will poke at the fire as if it were some strange forgien object that needed to be poked at. Oh yeah, he'd poke the fire senseless in his effort to look busy and utterly casual::
:;If the fire had been a living thing it probably would have died from the particulary violent jab Jack gave it, and broke his stick. He blinked and tossed one bit of it in and then begansnapping the other one into smaller sections::#nosmileys

*Will grinned and shrugged a little as he glanced over his shoulder at Elizabeth who was sifting through a small sack of hers for something to eat. He turned his head back to Jack and folded his arms, his grin growing.* You'd have to be blind and deaf not to have noticed the two of you last night. *He grunted, returning to poking the fire.
He looked into it curiously and was half anxious now, half nervous to get going again. He figured with the luck he and the Captain had there were bound to be more incodents like cannibals, waterfalls, and snakepits. He watched Jack as the man busted his stick from overprodding the fire and then proceeded to bust the remaining piece into lots of littler ones. Will grinned, glad he had something to tease the man about, he was going to put this little gift into full use.* So will we be expecting any Jack Juniors anytime soon? *He asked casually.*

::Jack blinked, startled. He had Rose and Hawk. But he hadn't had them when they were young....babies. Jack actually flinched at the thought. little, very little versions of himself running loose::
"NO!" Jack spat at once, as if saying this would prevent the laws of nature from visiting him and Tobbs and no miniture versions of himself would show up.::
::He glared suddenly at Will, realizing the lad had been joking. Well then maybe he should just let on about Elizabeth...but nah...some surprises were worth waiting for......::
::Jack chuckled weakly, and smirked: "Well..not yet mate...not yet....." He folded the map and put it in his coat pocket, then turned to the man, changing the subject completly. "So mate..given any thought to what yer going to do with yer share o' treasure? There's a lot of gold to be had......what do ye want to do with it?"
::He watched the man's face as he thought over the ideas,and smiled. Well it'd be a interesting find that was certain::

Post by Roux on Sept 17, 2004 14:22:07 GMT -5
Roux had not slept during the night. but he was showing no real signs of fatigue either. As dawn approached his eyes snapped to awareness.
The sky melted from black, to deep blue, turned gray, faded to rose, and then he held his breath as the sky burst with golden light that spilled over the horizon.
Roux had stood up slowly, gently moving Linea and stared at the sky. The sun was rising. He smiled happily. The birds were singing.
A pistol rang out. Roux leapt towards Linea determined to fend off any harm to her. And he stoped, looking up as Jack put this pistol away muttering in annoyance. He laughed.
"They're just birds, Captain!" He called, and shook his head. He kissed Linea's cheek once and went about getting ready to be on the move. He was packing food, and water in his bag when he noticed the search party that had gone looking for Fishy had not yet returned.
Worried he glanced around, wondering what could have happened to them.

Jason had turned to Rhys and nodded, holding his torch up to her so she could see, then took off after Kalin.
"FISHY! come on mate, where have ye gone off to?" He cried out to his lost crewman. "FISHY!"
It was getting late. They had been looking for a long while. and then the sky was growing lighter. Frowing Jason turned to Kalin.
"I don't know where he could have gotten off too, but we might have better luck with more eyes and better light. What do you think?"

The night had passed and no sign of Fishy. Kalin turned to his twin
"I don't want to leave him if he's out here. He could be hurt." He shrugged. "and from all we've been though I wouldn't doubt it."
but he was beginning to wonder if they could really find Fishy. It had been a while after all. A whole night had passed and in this jungle you never knew.
He gave another half hearted cry: "FISHY!"

Sarah walked with Rhys, Kalin, Jason, and the others. As they looked for Fishy Sarah shivered. She didn't really like the jungle, it was too dark, too mysterious. It was stuffy and you could lose yourself in a second. Sarah also felt like there was always someone watching you, and not a good someone either. Sarah shivered again and moved closer to Kalin and Jason. She felt they could fend off any unwanted things that came their way. How long ago did we lose Fishy? Do you think he's hurt?

*Tobbs sleepily nodded and silently followed Jack, laying down beside him and yawning slightly. She hadn't been this tired in a long while. But all she needed was rest. She wouldn't let herself sleep yet.*
*And so, closing her eyes, she drifted off into a lighter resting state, her mind shutting out the birds song at dawn but keeping aware for any other alarming sound. And then she heard Jack muttering something, and suddenly a pistol went off.*
*Sitting up startled, she glanced immediately towards Jack and had her hand on her hilt. Seeing all was safe, and it just happened to be to shut the birds up, she muttered sleepily and blinked a few times, sliding back down to lay down and catch a few more seconds of rest.*
*She couldn't believe she was actually tired. Usually, she just wasn't. But this trip seemed to be changing lots of things. She smiled at the thought.*
*Hearing a rather loud no coming from Jack, she opened her eyes slowly and sat up even more slowly, brushing her hair through with her fingers and stretching a bit. She smiled up at Will from where she sat, then gazed at Jack for a bit with an odd, peaceful sort of smirk.*
*Dusting ehrself off and rumaging through a bag of food supplies, she pulled out a banana and deemed it as breakfast. Finishing it off quickly so she could help get ready for their departure, she stood and dusted herself off before glancing around.*
*Okay, so the crew wasn't all here. Well that wasn't good. She furrowed her brows as she helped pack a few things up, wondering where the twins, rhys, sarah, fishy, the monkey, and evy and eric were. Eying the sky for the time, she shrugged it off.* Was early morning. They'd have enough time.*
*Glancing over to Roux and waving, she judged his worried look to NOT be a good sign. But no matter, they'd be back....*
"Mornin' Roux."
*She hadn't really talked to the man that often...always knew there was something about him that seemed somewhat....indescribable actually. Ah well, she'd figure that out later. Or maybe put it off....either one worked for her*
*Glancing over towards the captain again, Tobbs gave a contented smile. Glancing over back to Roux, she went back to packing a few more things as she waited.*

::Jack gave Will a pat on the shoulder and went back to packing things. He had only brought a light pack with him. Into this he packed things rather carefully. Food, a shirt, spare bullets for his pistol, water, and most precious of all. Rum.::
::He stood up and began wordlessly helping Tobbs pack as well. finally he stood up and kicked out the fire nearest to him. He was ready to go frankly, but not without the rest of the crew. He frowned and looked to the other crewmen::
::Well he couldnt very well leave them out there. Having had first hand experience with what lurks in the jungle he felt that would be a fate worse then death. Cannibels, snakes, cliffs...God only knew what else.::
::He glanced at Tobbs:: "Ye didn't hear them leave did you?" :;He looked around at the other crew men curiously. "Where'd the rest of them go?" He asked to nobody in particular:

*Tobbs let her smile grow a bit as Jack came over and helped her pack everything up. She was almost done now with his help, and what she suddenly realized was that she was keeping her mind distracted while they waited.*
*Laughing to herself and her growing impatience still, she looked up to Jack when he inquired about the crew.*
"'onestly 'ave no idea...maybe they went ta find some means of food or a water source. Something...."
*Shrugging again, she sqeezed Jack's hand as his brushed by to get something else, and then finished with all that neederd to be brought with the crew. Standing and watching the basically dead fire, cast her gaze back at Jack.*
"They better be 'ere soon. I'm already using the patience I don't even 'ave, so to add more time to wait would DEFINITELY not be a good idea....this city of gold better 'ave something to it."

Roux cast Tobbs a glance, his eyes flashing golden for a few seconds. he smiled a instant later. A easy, sleepy smile that he reserved for those among the crew. Nobody outside the crew normally saw him smile.
"Good morning Miss Brighton." He said with a nod, and smiled to himself as he watched Jack come over to help her. The pair of them together would probably bring destruction to the Caribbean then a hurricane.
Well least they were getting along now. He laughed then grew serious as Jack questioned them. "Fishy was missing, Captain. The others went looking for him. I would have guessed them to be back by now, but..." His voice trailed off.
"If you want I'll go looking for them. I'm sure I can find my way back without much help."

::Jack's frown deepened. Where had Fishy managed to run off too? He glanced at Roux a moment::
"No mate, ye stay here. I'll go look for them. Just make sure everyone's ready to leave within an hour, savvy? Eat and get water. An' I'll be back in a while...."
::That said Jack went straight back into the jungle, and shouted loudly. Enough to shake some sleepy birds from the trees: "F-I-S-H-Y!!!!! WHERE ARE YE, LAD?!" his shouting rang through the trees. Oh he'd find them soon. If anything his voice would reach them.::
"YO HO YO HO A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!" Just for the hell of it he cried out, and was vaguly wondering if the crew at camp could hear him. That's when he heard someone else cry out: "Fishy!" ::
::He paused staring around the area. No sign of anyone nearby. But they couldn't be far off. It came again:: "Fishy!"::
::Jack called out:: "OY! WHERE ARE YE?!" He went diving into the trees, ripping past vines and came up on Kalin and Jason, Emma, Rhys, Diana and Sarah. and a little monkey. He gave them all a smug grin::
"Havin' fun?" He asked them and looked around. "No sign of Fishy eh?" He frowned worriedly. "Any idea how long ago we lost him? could have sworn the lad was with us right before we made camp....."
