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... And ending. The hopefully ends happily....or crazily..whichever happens first. #nosmileys

::Jack had somehow gotten lost in the mess. All right so lost wasnt the correct word...more like kidnapped::
::Well...dragged off.....all right well...lured away by wine and some awed looking natives who seemed to guess Jack's weakness for rum...well wine in this case...::
::When all had been said and done Jack had simply dozed off on a cushioned couch in a room that was quite far from the rest of the action. He was sleeping quite peacefully when Tobbs found him hidden away with a number of natives eyeing him as he slept, as if they expected him to burst into flames or some such::
::He heard the footsteps approaching through and opened his eyes blinking curiously:: "Well that's interestin'......did I miss anything?"#nosmileys

*Tobbs walked up and down the streets and had begun collecting a bag of golden items she preferred, addressing all the crew and telling them it was time to be off. And to pass on the word, of course. They needed to get back to the ship now. She highly doubted they could pull off this native goddess and god thing for long.*
*When she ran into Zimbabba, who seemed to be looking for her and Jack, she smiled and waved.*
"Would you be so kind as to escort some prized treasures back to the ship, please? We wish to commemorate it back at the...erm....royal quarters...yes....to the ship if you will....my thanks..."
*And with that she waved him off and began heading again towards nowhere. Well, towards Jack, but she tried to tell herself it was nowhere just to frustrate the side that was telling her it was for Jack. Yes, confusing.*
*Anyways, so Tobbs began strolling down the streets still passing the word, when she went up in the temple to search for Jack. She found him. Oh yes she did.*
*Dozing on a sofa with all but a few dozen natives eying him, MOST of which being of the female gender to her collection. Sooooo, they thought they could get away with it while she was gone, and he was sleeping? Oh please! They were all in for it.*
*Tobbs marched straight up towards Jack, smiling it him with a 'oh it's on' look at the native ladies and a 'you're in for it' look at Jack. She proceeded to take a glass of wine, she guessed, from a servant and sipped it as she sat down, eying Jack with a sort of calculating, mysterious look that only said she was up to something. And whether that was a good thing for him or not, she didn't frankly care. It'd be some fun...that was for sure...*
"Miss anything?....oh, just a little fight between the big bad guys...natives came to the rescue...Barbossa's been escorted off the island with 'is fans....that means...."
*She said, ehr voice getting slowly quieter and quiter, as she let ehrself slowly and slowly position beside him, leaning back enough to almost be laying down, but not entirely, as she supported her balance and weight on her arms.*
"We've accomplished all those little tasks that were...in our way earlier...so to speak...so now...we've got a bit of...spare time...hmmmm...what could we do....natives collecting gold....crew heading down to ship.....and, while this is SUPPOSED to be a private chamber, we could EASILY rid of an audience..."
*She said so with an ebil sort of smile as she eyed the native girls, who had turned their fan girl eyes away from Jack and into almost mean, envious stares on her, as if they too were plotting some kind of way to nab Jack and run for their lives.*
*And suddenly....thats JUST what they did! All the native girls flung themselves their direction, half of them grabbing Jack and fleeing, the other half trying to barricade Tobbs and then they started fleeing. Tobbs just blinked, suddenly acknowledging the fact they were tkaing him somewhere, not as a human food sacrifice, but their own lovey dovey romantic 'i want to be with him' way.....SOOOO NOT GOOD*

"HEY!" Jack yelped as he was suddenly being dragged off by his native fan base. He wriggled and called out::
"TOBBS! HELP!" He sqirmed, still half asleep and not too sure what the heckwas going on, but last time he'd been dragged away by natives he lost part of his flesh in the bargain::
"Here now...wait...what do ye think yer doin?" He yelped and called againt to Tobbs: "HEY! Aren't I supposed to be yer god? We're in this together remember?!" He called, hoping she'd answer. "PLEASE?!"

*Tobbs thought. Well, she ahd the rest of the brave fan girls holding her back. Of course she didnt know how far Zimbabba was away and if he'd come to help, but she didnt care. She needed to think how she could get these natives off of her so she could chase after those who fled with Jack. No doubt bringing him to some love temple crap and trying to fufill his heart's desire while they were all lovey dovey. Bloody natives.*
*So she had to think. Think of what could scare off these fan girls. They were already acknowledging she was their 'goddess', so perhaps something to scare them off. She could hear Jack's cries for help and muttered as she thought, calling after him.*
"WELL IM BLOODY TRYING, BUT yer fan club is making things a tad DIFFICULT!"
*She thought if she squirmed it might help....Jack's voice was fading now that he was slowly getting farther and farther. She suddenly hit a thought. Be intimidating. Be mean. Be terrifying. So, just scream.*
*And that she did. Really loud. Terrible. Purposely with rage and some huge amounts of anger and annoyance. And that echoed throughout the city, no doubt. It sure as all else made the natives fly back in fear towards the walls. She stood up, dusted herself off, pointed straight towards one of the native answers, and spoke out with her most solemnly scary voice.*
"Show me the way...NOW!"
*Of course she probably couldnt understand. But she knew apparently, because she nodded and flew towards the way Jack ahd gone.....but where had the captain gone now...?*
*The natives had Jack now in another temple, through this courtyard with lots of hedges, and finally in this one temple that had candles burning, silky red and maroonish pillows and draperies and tapestries. It was only allowed access to the light by the candles flickering, and they'd placed Jack just on this elevated part, where a few steps on all side led up, which was home to a soft sofa like furniture. All the girls huddles around it, a few dancing around and playing music and offering more wine.*
*There was one specifically that was addressing Jack with his native tongue. She was beautiful, yes, and she was being the utmost alluring she could be.*
"Zepporo, is it? Such a strong god as you.....hear among us humble ones...we are here to please, your majesty.."
*She circled around him and had a smile. A very mysteriously charming smile...she gestured him to follow, and he did with the accompanyment of all the girls around him, and she led him straight into this steamy pool that wasnt very deep at all, but rather relaxing and soothing. There, she brought him, seating him on a seat just at the edge and drawing his feet in the water, massaging them humbly and happily.*
"The master must relax....Rest yourself...we've freed you now...soon, we will celebrate and dance, each of us...each for you....whatever you will, our master, we will do..."

::There was maybe a second when Jack just considered going with the flow so to speak, then he mentally kicked himself and muttered something to the effect of :: "Becoming more like the bloody eunuch everyday....."
::He sat up quickly and waved his hand around the room:: "If ye want to make me happy can ye find my lady for me? The golden goddess lady....I know she's either laughing or shouting..so she shouldn't be hard to find....."
::and honestly..the only person he wanted was Tobbs....He waved his hand around at the girls....and then suggested:: "Maybe ye can find some of the other men from my...well crew to entertain then? 'Cept Eric....or the eunuch.....or Roux.....or...well ye know what...best just be off and find me my lady then.....savvy?"

*Tobbs was racing through the courtyard now. She was about to KILL something. Who did those native girls think they were?! She was their goddess, of all people! AND Jack was hers! Honestly now! They were in some biiiiiiig trouble....*
*She wondered what they were up to. They touched him, she'd kill them all. She was fine with others of the female gender around Jack, sure, but she KNEW these natives were watching Jack with one look in their eyes. Desire. Could be desire to please, desire to be with, desire to care for, heck, desire itself. And she didnt like that. She didn't like that AT ALL*
*So when she burst into the room unnoticed at first, and heard Jack's attempt to stop the natives from massing him with some fun and servitude, she blinked a few times. Wowza. Was he just saying that? Ooooo....he was just earning good points everywhere he went!*
*She smiled triumphantly at the native beside her, and approached from behind Jack, giving that massager native a 'hahaha, who'd he choose miss kidnapper' look. Of course, this made her angry. And the other natives angry too. So they all gasped and some shed tears and the rest nabbed Jack up again and placed on some huge bed looking thing, pleading with him in their native tongue and trying to convince him to change his mind. And how openly open were they acknowledging he could ask for ANYTHING, she didn't want to calculate. All she did was barge up at the foot of that bed thing and start yelling.*
"Alright, BACK OFF YA WENCHES, OR I'LL RUN YOU ALL THROUGH WITH THAT CURININ DAGGER AND WORSE!"
*This made them all yelp and scamper to the walls or cling to Jack, which just made Tobbs anger grow worse. Apparently the mention of Curinin wasn't a pleasant one.*
"YOU! MISS Massager PERSON! You tell all of these ladies to get out of HERE, BEFORE I MAKE THEM? UNDERSTAND?"
*Of course she muttered as she consented, as if half in fear and half in doubt that Tobbs could do anything. But she did it, and all the fan girls fled quickly. The massgaer girl walked by slowly, defeated and knowing it all too well, sending Jack a 'maybe next time' glance and a pretty hateful look to her as she passed by.*
* The natives had left Jack all tangled up in a mess of their little silky scarf things they'd tried to use to keep him from getting up when Tobbs entered. Tobbs turned to him and smirked, wondering what exactly he was thinking...*

::Jack blinked wondering why on earth everyone seemed to think it was their right to pick him up and shuffle him around as if he were no more then a pillow::
::Then Tobbs burst in like a storm and he grinned broadly as the native girls scattered.::
:He sat up slowly, picking the scarfs off one by one, and eyeing Tobbs as he did so:: "Well that was interestin...." ::He pulled the last scarf off his head and counted them:: "That was....fourteen scarfs....an'...seems crazy luv...but the only one I wanted was you...."
:;He walked over to her and eyed her a few seconds:: "Must be the eunuch rubbin' off on me or somethin'....." He titled his head considering her a long while and grinned:: "Yer right...must be the hair....." He kissed her cheek. "That being one of many things.....an' of course don't want to be one the recieving end of yer anger.....I think ye scared all those girls into becoming nuns...." He smiled at her a sleepy smile. :: "Or ye know...just make them try harder next time...."#nosmileys

*Tobbs watched Jack count them with her smirk still on her face, it softening back into a smile when he said she'd been the only one he wanted. She hadn't budged from the spot, wondering how on earth Jack atually resisted a temple of natives all wishing to do anything to please him. THAT was pretty big, and she suddenly felt her heart twinge a bit.*
*She tilted her head a bit too as he walked up and kissed her cheek, listening over his words with a hint of playfulness and plotting. Finally, she just gave him an 'oh really?' look at his last comment and let her stance edge closer to him.*
"Eunuch eh? And the hair too? Well, what can I say, the both of them are 'ighly influencing."
*She rested her hand around the back of his neck, sighing contentedly at the whole of the situation.*
"Ya know....they'll be in for worse than a few threats if they try this again....they think they can drag away MY god of the sea? Bah! They must've underestimated me...the both of us, in fact...oh, and would you look at that....the room's been cleared...'ow...perfectly situated..."
*At this she had been glancing aorund the room, eying their surroundings with a bit of curious interest, until finally she lost that focus and zoomed in on Jack, drawing him close and kissing him as a rather fun way to give a passionate thank you. And oh she meant it.*
"Pulling away, she smirked at him, her eyes lighting up in that ever challenging way.*
"Crew should be expecting us in an hour or so....think you can top that, Sparrow?"

Maria smiled as Bossa's crew left the cave, knowing they had won once more. She looked over towards Sarah and Rhys and saw Sarah empty something into a goblet Rhys was holding. Maria smiled and walked over to them. Sarah, glad ye've finally seen 'ow disgustin' rum is. So what is the occasion?

*Michael kept silent as Selina spoke, her words soothing him more than she coiuld know. But still, he kept his eyes drawn on the island as they were rowed out to the ship with what seemed like the last of the crew.*
*He was angry with himself. Angry he hadn't rid of Tobbs and got what he sought for, angry that he hadn't killed Eric, angry that he'd let mercy slip inside him for only but a minute, angry that he hadn't helped win victory over Jack's crew, and angry of course, because of Selina.*
*Not because of her, but becauise of what he hadn't done to protect her, to avenge her, to show her that they could be unstoppable together. He'd let her get hurt, and as much as she said it wasn't his responsibility, he couldn't bare to think how foolish he was for letting ehr be injured.*
*His mind was drawn back to focus as she spoke lastly of killing Tobbs for him, and he gazed at her, watching her keep sitting weakly up and cursing himself for not defending her enough. He would next time. He'd do it or he'd die trying.*
*Sighing and scooting closer towards her, allowing her to lean her head against him as they came alongside the ship, he tried to dismiss the thoughts of blame for now so he'd be able to clean up both of their injuries and get Selina resting. That was all that mattered now.*
*When they got on deck, he again helped her walk along, just to give her a break from using up too much energy. And immediately he headed below deck, remembering which cabin she'd claimed hers when she first gave him the tour and turning into it.*
*Gesturing her to go along and sit on the bed, he rushed to his cabin where he'd placed a few cloths and wraps just in case of injuries. Collecting them all and swiftly making his way back to Selina in her cabin, he began rummaging through them and dampening a cloth in the water basin to clean up the blood and wounds.*
"Alright....this might not be too pleasant, but we've got to dress out injuries. I'm not that bad, so you just rest....it'd be best to regain your strength and energy..."
*He spoke as he ran the cloth carefully over her forehead with his focus entirely there first, then shifting down to her shoulder where he steadily unwrapped it and kept his attention there.*

Selina was assisted aboard the ship and looked around at the rest of the crew. Most of them were here and some of them gave her hateful glares as they passed but she simply glared back. Selina had NEVER had a good relationship with the rest of the crew and she supposed she never would. They simply didn't understand why she was on the ship in the first place and perhaps now there was even some jealousy they felt towards Michael and Barbossa, who seemed to be the only men at all that could get close to Selina.
As he helped her into her cabin she sat down and began to argue about herself being fine, but at Michael's insistance she sat there. Her fingers went to her face and she felt the grime and dirt that was caked upon it. She sighed heavily and shook her head, brushing a hand through her mane of ebony curls. When Michael came back, her green eyes looked to him and her ruby lips spread into a small smile.
He wiped at her forehead a bit and then cringed slightly as he unwrapped the bandage that wrapped about her shoulder. "Argh." she said scrunching up her nose a bit and looking his eyes over. "Gah, that bloody wench got me too well." She snarled, recalling how Evelyn had struck her with the blade. The wound was a deep one, about three inches long, and dried blood decored it.
"Michael mate...you really do not have to. I'll be fine. YOu need your rest as much as me, or perhaps more." She said looking gently at Michael and smoothing his cheek over gently. She sighed heavily but internally smiled. It had been a long time since anyone showed any real care for her really, and she would relish every moment.

Rhys smiled at Sarah as she handed her a cup full of rum. Her smile widened as Maria joined them commenting on how foul rum was. "Well if you two won't have it, all the more for me!" she said downing the mug in one gulp.
"We're celebrating my finding my brother!" she explained to Maria, before falling silent. She was beginning to wonder if she should have followed him. She missed him, she always had and now she had missed her chance to stay with him again. Her eyes traveled down the path he had taken, wondering if perhaps she should follow him.
Without a word to either of her companions, she began to walk. She followed the trail her brother left. Followed him through the woods, towards the battle, back into the woods and finally onto the beach. Her eyes drifted out to see. She could make out a ship, a ship she knew held her brother.
Suddenly, her eyes caught a second ship, the Pearl. It was anchored not too far off. Blue eyes drifted back and forth between the two ships, unsure of which to go to. To follow her brother, the man who had protected her from the day she was born, or to follow the crew that had befriended her and given her a new life?

Mark was glad he could be of some help. He was beggining to wonder if anyone would come back at all. The site of Eric and Evy made him feel a little better. After he had helped he sought an empty cabin and made his bed...he wouldn't sleep outside on the trip back...the trip here was Hell when he did that. He lay his head down on the pillow and quickly fell asleep. A nice bed sure beat the hell out of sleeping on the ground with a tree root sticking you in the back

Avery was startled as his blue eyed sorceress jumped out of his arms. His heart skipped a beat as he thought perhaps she was abandoning him. Rejecting him. And he was worried, she would fall. She had been unconcious not too long before. However, when she turned and kissed him, he wrapped his arms around her. He did not want to let her go. Her kiss was sweet and innocent.
She pulled away and started for the beach after a moment. He stared at the woman for a moment. His heart got the better of him and he soon found himself running after her. Coming up behind her, he gently shoved her against a tree and moved close pinning her there. "Thought you could tease me the'e, eh?" he whispered, his ever word drawing tingles against her skin. He kissed her passionately for a moment loosing himself completely.
He broke off the kiss finally realizing what he was doing. He blinked and looked at her confusion plain in his eyes. He turned slowly and walked away with a quiet grunt, "We needa get back on the ship." They quietly made their way back on board together. Once there he stared off into the jungle before turning to head for his cabin.
