A MESSAGE FROM JACK....

[Jack Sparrow]

To all the pirates,
This is Ariel, I'm using Jack's name right now, cause that's what was signed on with this computer.
I'm writing this message on behalf of Jack. Here it is.
Maties,
Sorry I've not been on in a while, see, about three weeks back, I got in a bit of a accident that severily screwed up my back......right now the docters aren't too sure if I'm going to be able to walk again.....seems I've really messed myself up this time......
anyway, for those of you who don't know, I've had back problems for a long time...and this one seems to be the kicker.....I really....really wish I could have written this sooner, but somehow it seemed cruel of me to put the depression on all of you as well.....I just couldn't convince myself to burden everyone........I am sorry.....really...I am...but...there was a lot going on in my head at the time....and well....I hope you'll forgive me.....
Anyway, my family is here with me, and we're all sort of hoping my body will forgive me again and allow me to have my mobility back...but....well......we don't know yet.......
That being said all, it may be a while until you see me again......but....I'll try and come in and out soon...okay? please take care of each other......
Jack.
p.s love all of you my children of dreams and caribbean winds.

Estel, my friend I came back a week ago, hoping that I would find all was well. I am so, so sorry about all of this...but somehow it was almost as if I were prepared for something like this...you were always the very accident prone one...*hugs massively*It devastates me to hear this really...and when I heard about it I wasn't quite sure how to handle it all.

I don't know what to say, in truth. I don't know what to do, its difficult being in this position as you might understand, knowing you as well as I do and worrying, caring about your health....yet not being able to do a damned thing about it. You're surrounded by your family and Ariel's there in full force for sure, but where does that leave us? We can only send you our VERY best Estel, *hugs uberly and massively* All of my prayers will be sent your way and I can only hope that you will perservere through this, no matter what shore life might beach you on.

All my love and prayers as always.

[Jack Sparrow]

evy,

thank you. it means so........very much to me to know you guys care. I can sort of sit up and Ariel said all of you ought to be the first ones to know......

i'm just scared I guess....and knowing that I'm scared, probably makes things bad for all of you. but....I am sorry for not saying something about it before.....saying that i'm hurt makes it real, I guess. but....it's just......hard.....I don't really know how to deal with this.....I've never not been able to feel the lower half of my body before......

I'm just scared. but, again, knowing you're here for me makes things easier.......you know? Hope to see all of you soon...

Jack

*hugs as best she can for as long as she can* My dear, I am so sorry! I don't know what I can say that would explain how I feel right now. I wish I could come hug you right now, but I can't...Have hope my dear, we all love you and wish you all the best wishes and prayers we can give to you..*hugs tight*

[Shadower]

hey Jack, not sure if you remember me, ask Cally for further ID-
Just wanted to say that I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to you. Also, I'm here for you too my friend. (grips Jack's shoulder warmly) I'll be praying for you my good friend.
-Shadower

[Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon]

Oh,my God...

I think I would have preferred thinking you'd just abandoned us...

Jack,Estel...mate...I honestly am left without words.I guess I always am when things like this happen...I'll try to convey as well as I can what I feel,but it won't work too well,I'm sure.

You're such an incredible person,Estel,and one of the best friends I've ever had.You and the others on this site have brought me safely through some of the hardest times in my life thus far.You've always been the glue,sort of,that holds this crew together...without you,we're just sort of...a bunch of people,I suppose.With you around,we're truly together,no matter how many miles separate us.

As a crew,we've been through a lot.The traumas and the triumphs of our real lives have been just as dramatic,just as important as those that Jack,Tobbs,Rose,Em,Bossa,Ev,and the lot have been through.We've borne each other's sorrows,and the joys that one of us had were shared by us all.It's been a bumpy road,certainly,but damn....this really takes the cake.

No matter what happens,Estel,you're our captain.But more than that,you're our friend.If there's ever anything we can do for you,all you have to do is ask...But for now,I suppose all we can do is pray.And I will do that,every night and every day.If you need anything I can give,let me know.

Sorry that I've rambled...Please forgive me for that,and for the times I've failed to live up to my responsibilities.You're in our thoughts,and our prayers,and our hearts.

Awaiting further orders,cap'n.

-Emma G. Hawkins,and Richard M. MacKinnon,Professional Really Bad Eggs

P.S.-I used up half a box of tissues writing this.Way to make an old pirate cry,mate...

[Jack Sparrow]

Shadower,
Thank ye mate.

Emma,
There is still hope....to quote a wise elf lady.

*an edit by Tobbsie who isn't completely here, nor there, nor anywhere...really...wait what?*

PS. someone hearts Jack...alot...

[Will Turner]

*Huggleglompclings Estel* Well my dear old captain, Evy, Cally, and Emma have said it all it seems so I'll simply second them rather than repeat it all! I miss you all kinds of bunches and have and will keep you in all my prayers! You truly are a good friend of mine who always knows how ta make me smile and laugh my arse off!!! You get well very soon alright! Luv ye mate!

[Saber & Kat Tompson]

Jack...I just want you to know that if I get in huge trouble with my parents for posting here...it's all your bloomin' fault. *Is crying her eyes out right now* Omg... why? Why God why?! I think that all the time! I know you have a purpose, but why?!

Jack I pray for you everyday...and this is going to start to sound so sappy if I continue to write, so I better get off before my parents get home. Just know that I love you like a brother, and that my prayers go with you.

I know I'm not much more then a little lurker on your site, but I just had to come back to let you know I care.

Your first to sign on, and rather attached, and devoted crewmate,

Saber

I would also like to say as a reminder to guests, you do not know this man, and until you do (if you ever do) I suggest you hold your tongue. Here we are family, and as such we care for one another. So please keep your snotty remarks out of personal threads. Thank you.

[Rymonlinéa]

*hugs Saber* You took the words right out of my mouth for those guests. On a side note, Estel, I do hope to hear from you soon dear, to know how are you are doing and such...muchly worried that I be of course. *hugs tight* We all love you and wish you the best, this I KNOW you know. Get well...hopefully hear from you soon...

[Rymonlinéa]

[Captain Morgan Barbossa]

*Cries with relief* Jack, thank the gods you're alright.... I've been trying hard not to worry too much, but the longer I went without hearing from you, I couldn't help wondering if I ever would again....

I understand if you're not going to be on for a while, whether from recovering, or from helping out in New Orleans (ever the altruist, neh?), but we'll all be here waiting for ye, mate.

We love you, Jack. Ye'll always be our Captain.

~Bossabutt

[Evelyn]

ESTEL! Gah of COURSE you're in New Orleans...like a duck in a pond I wager. :-D I'm SO happy to hear you're alright! *hugs* I've always had you in my thoughts and prayers Estel. Please, please, please, take good care of yourself. And I truly envy you. I really wish I could do the same but well, when Senior year is starting to get into full swing its a bit difficult to just pack up and head on out, though I wish I could, the devastation there is just...its floored me completely.

Your in my thoughts as well as Jason, Ariel, and the whole bunch. Take care and stay safe!

*hugs tightly*

~Evy~

[Will Turner]

Aww yay! *Huggles Estel, Jason, Kalin, and Ariel all kinds and bunches* It's so nice to hear that you're a lot better than you were now and that you're helpiing out down in New Orleans! Just be safe down there and I hope to hear from you soonly. Oi and Bossaness! *Huggles Bossa also* Ive missed my ickle Bossabutt
