The Black Sails of Deceit

[Jacky]

I'm on the Pearl that morning, keeping a weather eye on the horizon impatiently, and occasionally pacing around the deck. "What's takin' 'em so bloody long?" I wonder. I'm pretty certain that Norrington's death will postpone the marriage.. so, that's not the issue. The issue is that they'll be looking for the one who's done it, and thus end up finding the Pearl if these other pirates don't interupt soon enough!

"What's got you so fixed, captain?" Gibbs asks good naturedly, as he watches Jack pace around another time.

I turn to look at him, "What's got me fixed?" I ask, obviously not at ease. I take a breath and then explain it all in that very same breath, rambling so fast he can't possibly keep up with the story; "Could it possibly be that our mutual friend Bootstrap Bill Turner once very long ago send a certain key or whatsoever to his son in England which Will undoubtedly carried on his person and I happen to have told this bunch of pirates 'bout said key to escape their fury when I had nearly and very accidently destructed their fleet one-handedly and they caught me afterwards - so I traded the treasure that said key leads to in exchange fer me life and that now these pirates are taking a BLOODY long time to redeem me from killing the commadore?" I take a breath, and look at Gibbs questioningly.

Gibbs is one big frown though.. and he shrugs his shoulders. "Rum, captain?" He offers, not knowing what the hell is going on still.

"If you please, mister Gibbs" I confirm, and I go to the railing with my spyglass as he goes to the galley.

Im dressed and pacing around the mansion by now... oh this cant happen. It was supposed to be perfect...
and now..
the opposite.
oh i hope jack hasnt had anything to do with this....
"oh don't even think about it." I tell myself..
He promised me he wouldnt ruin this.

A few minutes later a grin creeps to my features, when the tip of a mast appears on the horizon. "There they are." I mumble softly to myself. I turn around to my crew, who are gathered on deck. "Things'll get a li'll rough, mates." I warn 'em, "I want the Pearl ready to fight, but don't fire unless there's being fired at ye, savvy?" I narrow my eyes warningly, "Stay out of sight of the town, and most definately out of the range of their cannons. I don't expect trouble from the other ship.. so keep a low record." With that said I tell Gibbs to take care of the preperations, and I myself get into a longboat that's lowered to head into town once more.

[Daz]

I check the time... Will should be here soon...
Everything is such a mess. Infact the muddy creases on my bed reflect this day quite well.
Im mourning. Im lost. Im disappointed. And Im releived...

[Jacky]

I pull the hat deep over my eyes (as if that would keep the authorities from recognizing me) as I reach the dock of Port Royal. The ship that was on the horizon is steadily making closer, but from where I'm standing now I can't see 'em. I imagine that's their intention - to stay out of sight as long as they possibly can. But within the hour they'll reach the town, I'm sure of that.. and I'm curious to see what's next. I'll be sure to adopt, adapt and improve the situation to my benefit when it occurs. A smug grin comes to my features when I think of it. Quite so.

[Daz]

Will begins to walk along the streets to the mansion.

[Jacky]

On my way through the streets of Port Royal, I spot a very familiar looking figure.. Well, this could turn out to be my lucky day. William Turner. I thought he'd be in the mansion by now. But if not, I could really make things easier on them pirates. I catch up with the lad and tap him on the shoulder casually.

[Daz]

"..Jack.." he frowns... not knowin g how to react "... what are you doing here..?"

[Jacky]

"Makin' things a li'll easier, mate." I answer. "Follow me." I gesture, and I go in a different direction than he first was heading.

[Daz]

He stops in his tracks... "Jack, no... I have somewhere to get to. I need to see Elizabeth, its important.."
