It is a cold season upon the Caribbean, as cold as it could possibly get that is, and the Commodore is out in full force. His pirate hunting ways have become quite notorious and many a ship have traveled many miles to stay away from the Commodore's constant, diligent, watch. Port Royale has become the safest Port in all of the Caribbean and the Commodore prides himself on this.
That is...until he goes after the wrong Crew.
Having embarked on a small voyage to sink the St. Clair, the Commodore manages to capture a few survivors from the notoriously crime painted crew. Taking this crew back to Port Royale, the Commodore sets their fates at hanging, but when one of Jack's crew members hears of the situation the plot thickens for within the crew lies a trusted friend and for him, she is willing to do anything to repay the kindness he had bestowed upon her years before.
Rules: 1. Have fun! 2. No spamming, post something substantial that ADDS to the story please! 3. Stay IC at all times! 4. No sign ups needed, simply jump in where you see fit. 5. The Commodore IS BACK!!!! *cackles*

Tobbs shrugged as if expecting someone to make some kind of response to her call. She paused for moment and listened to the complete silence, and then gave up hope for hearing anything but loud shouts and laughs and brawls. Turning back to the crew and Jack, she nodded a bit at his words, still insisting she give a bit of a complaint on the length of the contest starting.
"An hour? Bloody shoppin' pirates, takin' the entire night lookin' for 'o knows what really..."
She was smiling while she spoke, teasing more than anything. She proceeded in looking around, trying to spot this Gold Mermaid without being escorted there, but her attempts again failed. Looking back at Jack, she gestured forward.
"Well then, my liege, lead the way! Doubt I'll be able to stand 'ere for too long without causin' some sort of fun!"

"fun? ye mean bringing a building down? I don't know, Tobbs, luv. Ye might destroy all Tortuga at the rate you're going, and I was just gettin' comfortable..."
::With that Jack set off at a sedated pace towards the edge of town. The streets here got darker and a bit more dangerous.....but Jack didn't mind. he never was one to back down from a fight, unless he felt he could spend his time doing something better......They passed two fights, one drunken man sleeping with goats, a group of ladies dressed in jewel bright colors, one of whom looked ready to slap Jack.::
::Jack, noting this, whistled and continued on his way. Close shave that was. until:: "JACK SPARROW. YE GOOD FOR NOTHING....." ::Jack's eyes widened ever so slightly and he mentally winced. but he turned around.::
"Why, Esmeralda...."
::The sound of her open palm connecting with his face echoed down the street. Jack winced and watched her walked away.::
"Well, that one I deserved...."

"Well maybe I will, can't keep you comfortable fer long after all..."
She followed along by his side, looking at al the familiar and ever so famous scenes Tortuga had to offer. One of those happened to be one she didn't enjoy so much. And they seemed to dislike the little picture of Jack walking down the street. Knowing exactly what they were thinking, she stopped and sighed.
A little slap echoed and the sound of Jack's response made her feel rather irritated. Not by how he knew her, because he was a pirate, a captain at that, and she expected such things would come up from his past. After all, everyone had a past. She was a prime example herself. At least he TOLD her, or let it be known a few events that could've gone on previously, before they'd met.
Now, snapping back to attention, she was facing Jack, running her hand across his cheek as if to check it and give some comfort to any stinging that could have currently been going on. THEN, a fire sparked up immediately in her eyes, burning rather brightly.
"I'll be back Jack.."
And with that, she gripped her fists, spun about, and began marching straight after the group of ladies that were fanning themselves and putting themselves on display.
"EY!! WHICH ONE OF YE WENCHES SLAPPED MY CAP'N?"
They all looked over at ehr and rolled their eyes. One stepped up, who was the perpetrator, and looked ehr up and down.
'I did..and if you want a little taste as to why, wait in line hunny.'
"Is tha' right? I was actually 'opin' to give ya a bit of a taste of my OWN mind!"
And with that, she had tackled the woman, giving her just that-a piece of her mind. She sat atop her, holding back a bit so as not to kill the bloody wench, but enough to a point she was about to lose that little control she had. The other ladies squealed and fled behind some onlooking men who were begining to rise themselves.
"'OW'S THAT FEELING? UP TO SECONDS?"

::Jack blinked in shock, then his jaw draopped in disbelief as Tobbs basically launched herself at Esmeralda. He stood, sort of stunned then went up behind her:: "Easy luv...I'm pretty sure I deserved that one..."
::He was laughing as he said it, but his eyes were on the men who now looked just about ready to start a fight:: "Easy luv, in Tortuga I've more enemies then friends...and the friends I have, I want to keep in one piece.....savvy?"

Tobbs paused when Jack spoke, muttering something inaudible when he mentioned deserving it, adding on something to the effect of "as did she" but not to a point where she'd argue with him. She stared down at the woman who seemed about scared to death, and she glanced u at the men who had stood.
"Alrigh' alrigh', I'm done...well, could we drag her in the alley at least? Give her just a bit more of my thoughts?"
And the wench fainted, and Tobbs couldn't help but smile as she realized what she was saying.

::Jack snickered to himself then took Tobbs by the hand, as if a child, but amused all the same:: "I don't think I'll have to worry 'bout that particular problem for a while now, luv.....thank you...."
::Esmeralda fainted and Jack only shook his head:: "Ye know, luv....." ::but he couldn't finish his sentence, he just burst into laughs and walked back down the street, trying no to look as if he were completly senile::
::He was still grinnng as they made it back out into safer territory. he looked at Tobbs and smiled:: "Thanks luv."

Keeping herself silent, a rather big grin danced upon her lips nonetheless as she tried keeping herself form laughing. Nodding when he thanked her she stood and eyed the woman as they began walking back down to safer areas now that she'd eliminated another section of Tortuga to visit.
"Your welcome, any time of course."
And she finally laughed as well, shaking her head at her own actions and glancing back from where they'd just come.
"She was asking for it! I tell ya tis the truth! After all, you'd be doing any man in if they slapped me, deserved it or not...."
She nodded and eyed him curiously, wondering just exactly what he'd say, and still wondering how she managed to tackle one of the locals in Tortuga.
"In serious need of that rum soon, or else I'll 'ave nothing else to do and the entire town won't want us 'ere..."

::Jack snickered some more, then nodded:: "Aye....anyone touched you, they'd see my blade and that's the last they'd see...."
::Looking around a bit more, Jack's eyes found what he'd been seeking. The Gold Mermaid. it was a smaller place, but the back of it went right to the water. Quite literally there was a back deck that was on the water, with a few tables. you could here some rather bad music coming from inside and some shouts and yells. but nothing that sounded violent. Just sounded like a lot of people having a good time::
"How about there?" He said with a grin stil planted firmly on his face.:: "have ye ever been here before? I think the name changed. Might have been called something like the Surly Wench before now............."

"Dar..." Rhys sighed and looked out towards the water. The theif got caught up in her thoughts, thought of the old days and the time when she was still young and niave.
With out a thought, she grabbed Dar's hand. "If you're to leave me then, atleast do one more thing with me. Like we used to do in Port Royal, when we were young and attempting to avoid the guards," she begged pulling on his hand as her other hand tugged her shoes off.
She let his hand go, kissed his cheek and then ran and left over the side of the Pearl, falling down into the water with a loud splash. It had been so long since she had last just spent time in the water, for fun. "Come on, please?" she called.

Tobbs turned to look at the tavern, smiling at his words and feeling rather protected. For her, she'd never really been saffe, and the way she could simply relax when Jack was around was a new relief for her.
The woman looked towards the addressed location, scanning the premises with interest and wondering what fun could be found within its doors. Feeling she somehow knew this place from somewhere, she thought for a bit...and then Jack mentioned its previous name...
'ere be the place we'll be restin' ta'nigh'...bring them inside too, per'aps we can 'ave a bi' o' fun...' 'Leave them out of this, please, leave them out!' Tears...cries...and all went quiet once more..
When she realized she'd zoned out again, Tobbs looked away from the tavern, clearing her throat and glancing over at Jack. He seemed a bit curious as to why she completely paused for a minute or two, but she smiled and slipped her arms around him, trying to keep her mind on where she was now, and who she was with.
"Don' rightly know, with all those taverns comin' up and fallin' down because of pirates like me. But I 'ave my cap'n 'ere ta defend me now, so whether it be the Gold Mermaid or not, let's enter with a flare. Shall we?"

::Leesil blinked, and watched Rhys leap overboard. Utterly at a loss he watched her and fidgeted. He wasn't a brillant swimmer. But he could probably stay float for a while. the water didn't look too bad...::
::So he shrugged, took his boots off and leaped in. He hit the water with hardly a splash, and he sliced thru the water cleanly. When he came up he looked around, just treading water. He wasn't good at swimming laps, but he could tread at the very least.::
"bit wet, don't you think?" He said with a touch at humor::

::Jack watched her face. Saw her zone out for a moment. Then he glanced at the Tavern and then back at her. Without a word of explanation, he scooped her up over his shoulder and carried her to the water.::
::And without so much as a "tallyho" dropped her off the nearest dock into the water. He jumped in after her, and tread the cool water, a determined look on his face:: "Well this water might wake ye up a bit...." He said with a touch of sarcasam.:: "An as long as yer here....want to tell me what's bothering you? I can't stand ye walking around loking as if yer going to the noose......"

Tobbs smiled casually as he picked her up, gesturing him onward to the tavern, still a bit thoughtfully considering the little bits of memories she was getting...
Wait...what was this? Where was he going?
“Jack, the doors are over there...Jack...Jack we’re gonna....waaaaaaait a minute, wait just a sec-“
And SPLASH, the chilly water was all about her. She was at the surface immediately, gasping in shock of the whole cold water/him dropping her in combination. Was a bit of a suprise, you might say. She was all tense and keeping as still as possible, as if she’d magically be OUT of the water if she kept still.
“Ooo you’re gonna get it...you’re sooooo gonna get it..”
Finally relaxing and glancing up at him, she listened to his words and bit her lip. She’d tell him...yes, she would...she needed to, it would only help her.
Drawing closer, she pulled up against him, smiling mischieviously and gazing in his eyes for a few moments before she spoke.
“Well, there could be a lot botherin’ me...”
She tip toed on the subject, speaking simply casually and uninterested on the subject. Her hand ran from the back of his neck to his chest, where she paused it and twiddled with the edge of his shirt rather boredly.
“I guess...well....’ow are we going to work this? I mean, after all...”
And again she drew closer, lowering her voice to an intrigued whisper.
“After that little stunt ya pulled, yer gonna ‘ave to give me a reason to tell ya anythin’ now, aren’t ya?”
And with that, she drew herself away from him, stretching out her arm just enough to gently push herself from him. She then lifted it and simply splahed it in the water to try and get his face a bit wet, for after all, he’d soaked her entirely now, hadn’t he?
“Guess we’ll never know, Jack...”

::Jack's eye's narrowed a bit, then he smirked when she splashed him:
"now don't be sore about it." He admonished, then laughed, and then flicked a bit of water at her. He figured if she was going to tell him anything he'd have to loosen her up. And throwing someone into the water had that effect on people.::
"guess we'll never know, Jack."
::He shrugged, then made a careless face:: "All right then. ye won't tell me.....I guess I'll just see how long I can hold my breath.....until ye tell me, I'm not coming up...." ::and with that, Jack took a deep breath, and dove under water, determined to do just as he said he would:::
