Devoshka- You are alive still, but on an undead ship.
Shenanigans- I am in the Pacific Standard Time- Right now it's only 9 PM

---------------

Hey you guys- do you mind if I post it tomorrow? A lot has been going on and I found out that my pet has gotten really sick today and he can barely walk. :( So I'll have to take him to the vet tomorrow.

I haven't finished the last part of it, and I don't want to post a rushed-looking round. I hope you guys understand I will be done by tomorrow night (the latest 9 PM PST).

Anyways have fun RPing until then. Here's a little preview..

http://i17.tinypic.com/4kk7j93.jpg

[Gerbera]

Looks cool, 123 :)
Don't worry, take your time, I hope your pet will recover soon!

[SwiftSign_SC]

aH :( Get well soon Magic and 123's pet *hugs*

[XsnowdropX]

((Aww *hugs* Hope your pet gets better 123:).

Lol Im sick too magic...sucks doesnt it:sick:))

[MagicBeans]

Pacing...pacing...it's all I could do. We had lost the fight this time, and lost two crew members because of it. I looked out over the ocean at the retreating Oracle. All I could do was pray they'd be all right.

I walked around the corner, on my way to find Estelle* and make sure she was okay. And that is when I saw it. Zane, leaning in to kiss Estelle, and her slapping him and yelling at him. She turned and stormed off, practically running me over in the process.

"You are okay!" she squealed as she hugged me. "I have to talk to you, can we do that now?"

I kept my eye on Zane, my blood boiling. "In a moment my dear. I must tend to your drunken crew mate first." Taking her by the shoulders, I eased her out of the way and approached Zane, still seated and half slumped over.

"You'll stand when your Captain approaches pirate." He shot to his feet, stumbling as he tried to hold his balance. I wasted no time in punching him square in the jaw, putting all my weight behind the blow and knocking him off of his feet. I removed my cutlass from it's sheath, standing over him and laying it on his adam's apple. "You'll keep your hands and all other parts of you to yourself Zane, or there'll be nothing for you to keep. Do I make myself clear?" He nodded slowly as he tried not to jumble the cutlass at his throat. I stepped back, sheathing my sword again. Shaking my head, I mumbled half under my breath, "A fine birthday this is turning out to be for me"

I turned back towards Estelle*, who was looking rather confused. "Yes my dear. Happy birthday to me." I lay my hands on her shoulders, running them down her arms as I looked at her. "Now, what did you wish to talk to me about my dear?"

---
((OOC Ahhhh she's going to tell him...and on his birthday! Surprise! LOL))

((123, take your time. I hope your pet is ok :( And thank you everyone for the well wishes. :smurf: ))

[SwiftSign_SC]

((eek poor Zane, you dented his pretty face! ;) LOL))

Ohhh.... shit. He may have been drunk, but not drunk enough to not know what was coming.

"You'll stand when your Captain approaches pirate." Zane shot up. Maybe Menyw was gonna be nice, and not slice parts off right now.

And then it came, as expected. Thwack, square in the jaw, killing any balence that he had remaining and leaving him sprawled on the floor. Menyw stood above him and something sharp was itching around his neck - he knew from experience that sharp things tend to be bad.

"You'll keep your hands and all other parts of you to yourself Zane, or there'll be nothing for you to keep. Do I make myself clear? He tried to nod in responce, however it proved difficult with a sword held to his jugular.

He heard the Captain sheath his sword, and return to Estelle*. And then it occured to him that bastard made my makeup run. Of course he wouldnt say that, as he was in no position to fight, and would probably end up taking his own ear off.

Hmm... think ill sleep here for the night...


((lol! bad Zane >.> he would have settled for Dementia :P but estelle just happened to be there! although.... might have been the same outcome eh? :P))

[MagicBeans]

((OOC: Bahahaha! Oh that was good Swift! I love Zane *warm squishies*))

[Vicci]

Ceryni walked onto the deck and found a passed out Will not too far away. He walked over and gently shook him. "Will.." he murmed as to not try to wake him too shockingly. As it was, he jolted awake anyway.

"Will, I'm sorry for yesterday... and for Cat" he flinched at her name, "but y'know the rules.. you've got to work for your stay.." At this point Will got up and Ceryni patted him on the shoulders and smiled. He then walked off to the Kitchen to make some food for the two new prisoners. He then went down to the hold and gave them the food.

He was faced with a femanine man, he could be described as pretty, and few men could. There was also a pretty girl aside him. They seemed to know each other so they were probably from the same crew, the Jewel otherwise Will and Cat would have tried to set them free too.

After asking their names (and finding out they were Jessamin and indeed, Pretty Will) Ceryni offered them their freedom aboard the ship as long as they obided by the Captain's rule and did their fair share of work. They both agreed and were let out and Ceryni gave them a quick tour, which consisted of pointing at doors when they were making their way to deck. "The usual jobs please lads and lasses." he said to them, "Come and find me or another crew member if you need help. You'll be staying in Crews Room 2." before leaving them to get on.

[Gerbera]

After Estelle had bumped into Menyw, he want over to where Zane was sitting, looking very angry. She thought about trying to prevent him from doing what he was about to do but it was already too late.
The Captain's punch hit the poor pirate right in the jaw.

Estelle sighed and then she heard something about "birthday". Menyw turned back to her and said "Yes my dear. Happy birthday to me. Now, what did you wish to talk to me about my dear?"
"Ah, uhm ... Yeah, can we go to your room, please?" she replied.
Now that she was about to tell him, the woman was very nervous. How would he react? Would he be happy or angry? But she had to tell him ... He'd find out sooner or later anyways ...

They reached the Captain's Room and the man opened the door for her.
Estelle took a seat on the big bed and after the door was closed again, she started to speak.
"Well, at first, Happy Birthday to you. If I had known about that earlier, I would have had a proper present for you ..." She sighed again.
"However, I think I have kind of a present for you ... Although I really don't know whether you'll like it ..."
Suddenly she thought "Who has ever heard of a pirate captain with a baby to care for?!" and didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Menyw seemed to be really curious now, so Estelle just whispered "Menyw, I am pregnant" and looked at him to see how he would react.

[SwiftSign_SC]

((argh! the drama continues! O.O *suspence killing me*))

[MagicBeans]

I escorted Estelle* to our room, opened the door for her and watched her plop her little bottom down on the bed. I smiled at her, wondering what could possibly be making her so nervous. She took a deep breath, sighed heavily, and began speaking.

"Well, at first, Happy Birthday to you. If I had known about that earlier, I would have had a proper present for you ..." She sighed again. "However, I think I have kind of a present for you ... Although I really don't know whether you'll like it ..."

My smile grew bigger. A present. I do enjoy presents. And it is my 20th birthday, so I should get a nice big...

"Menyw, I am pregnant"

Silence. Nothing. Darkness. The room was spinning. I remember sitting on the floor. My throat was closing in on me. I couldn't breathe. "P...p...did you say?"

Estelle nodded, a worrisome smile on her face. "Say something?"

Captain Menyw Galed. Feared pirate. Expert swordsman. Diaper changer. I shook my head. "No you aren't."

"Yes I am."

I shook it again. "No. You aren't."

She nodded. "Yes Menyw. I am."

Suddenly I was up on deck, fighting the undead on the Oracle...trying to win back Jessamin and Pretty William. I had them where I wanted them. Undead body parts lay askew all across the deck. The undead were running for their undead little lives. I was winning until...

...someone tugged on my pants leg. "Daddy. I have to go wee!"

I shot up from the floor, letting out what one can only refer to as a "girlie scream", then ran from the room and found the nearest railing. I watched as my lunch tumbled over the side of the ship. I lay my head in my arms, rested on the railing, shaking my head to myself. It's over. I'll have to quit and go crawling back to Father. He'll never let me live this down. 'Menyw, you have failed again', he'll say.

I looked towards the cabin where Estelle* remained. A wife, and a baby. Oh dear Lord.

[Shenanigans_SC]

((OOC: lol(really, literaly I'm laughing) Oh my goodness gracious! I love Menyw's reaction. Great job Magic!))

123... hope your pet gets better :sick:

[ElektraNatchios33]

((do you think 123321 would mind if I posted an app for the Galleon?))

[Hamsterball]

((Awww... Poor Estelle. And poor Menyw. And poor Zane. Oh, the drama.))

Emeraldia sat herself on the edge of the ship, watching as Menyw threw a punch at Zane, landing him hard onto the deck. She couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him, although he had to have seen this coming. Trying to kiss the captain's girlfriend? That was like throwing yourself off a ship. At least he had the excuse of being drunk.

"Are ye alright?" she asked, wandering over towards Zane. Menyw had already engaged in an intense conversation with Estelle somewhere else, and Zane looked like he could die at any second. "Ye should probably keep your hands off Estelle, if ye couldn't tell that yerself. The captain likes to keep his possessions to himself, ye see." She smirked, remembering their first encounter when she stole his father's sword. Zane slightly stirred, acknowledging her presence.

"I don't suppose ye'd like me to help ye up, but I'm willin' to keep ye company," Emeraldia sat down next to him on a barrel. "That is, if you want it. Not many people want to be associatin' with me after the Oracle sailed off with Jess and the Will's. They figure it's my fault, seein' as I'm from the crew. But if it were my fault, they would've carted me off along with 'em, too, I know it."

[MagicBeans]

((OOC: hehe thank you Shen. The good news is that he's in the mindset that he wants to marry her. That's hopefully going to count for something. Hopefully. lol

Elektra, I would PM 123321 privately and ask him. We are very close to the end, so I'm not sure if he's accepting new people or not.))

[SwiftSign_SC]

"I don't suppose ye'd like me to help ye up, but I'm willin' to keep ye company," Emeraldia sat down next to him on a barrel. "That is, if you want it. Not many people want to be associatin' with me after the Oracle sailed off with Jess and the Will's. They figure it's my fault, seein' as I'm from the crew. But if it were my fault, they would've carted me off along with 'em, too, I know it."

"Its not your fault..." he spoke quietly, not moving or opening his eyes - to be honest he was too exhausted for that. "Emeraldia, your not half bad. I don't blame you for what happened, if anything im more to blame..." he sighed deeply.

And with that he fell to sleep.

((tacky i know but shh :P))

[Shenanigans_SC]

My sleep was peaceful and deep; the first I had in a while. Then suddenly I was shaken awake. Ceryni stood over me. "Will, I'm sorry for yesterday... and for Cat, but y'know the rules.. you've got to work for your stay." He extended out his hand in a gesture of peace and to help me to my feet. I knew the green elf was right. It was about time I accepted my fate. I took his hand and pulled myself up to my feet. With a smile Ceryni patted me on the shoulders, he then walked off to tend to something else.

I took a deep breath wanting to breathe in the sea breeze, instead I was bombarded with the smell of rum. Don’t get me wrong, I like my liquor as does the next man, but I smelt like I had been swimmin in the stuff! I raised my arm to take a good wiff… Oye, good job dummy The odor was enough to clean barnacles off a ship. I headed downstairs in search of a bath of some sort.

After I had gotten cleaned up my stomach made itself be heard. I tried to recall the last time I had eaten. Then a mouthwatering smell came drifting just under my nose. Mmm… I followed the smell and it led me to the kitchen. I was surprised that no one was in there. I made my way over to the pots of food. They were nearly empty. Someone must have had their share already. No harm if I finish it off then aye? I dumped the remaining food on a plate that I found. Forgetting my manors I scarfed the food down as quickly as I could. Imagine my embarrassment when I heard a voice from behind talkin to me. “Hungry are ye?”

[foolinthemoon]

Dementia kept to herself after the battle was over, nursing a new slice on her abodomen. It hurt like hell but atleast the rum killed most of the pain. She walked out on deck to find an assortment of activites. Emeraldia and Zane (sporting a shiner) sat on the deck and the Captain was heaving over the side of the ship... too much rum she thought. She coughed hard and her lungs ached. Diving into that cold ocean was coming back on her hard now. She took her rum bottle and sat across from Zane and Emeraldia. "That's a lovely shiner you got your self there." Zane snored and she laughed before looking at Emeraldia. "I'm sorry." She hoped that was all that needed to be said. She imagined Emeraldia was probably a bit upset that her former crew didn't look for her harder.

Tortuga

The pain and suffering from the previous battles were stressing out the pirates. Some were badly hurt and others were exhausted from fighting. Life on the sea got more dramatic everyday. All three crews were heading towards Las Antillas to fight the final battle. The battle that determined everything.

Oracle of the West was ahead of all of the other ships, who were a little less than a mile apart from each other. At the time, Dementia was sitting all by herself on the deck of The Caribbean's Jewel. It was peaceful and there was a cool breeze. She was on look out for the crew. She watched as the bright sun began to fall against the lilac colored sky. Minutes later she saw 3 dolphins jump into the air and dive into the sea.

"Wow what a beautiful night", she said to herself.

She walked around the abandoned deck when suddenly she sayOracle of the West turning around towards their ship.

"Oh shit..."

Dementia ran into the crews rooms and captain's room to warn everyone. They all prepared for the next battle as the Oracle turned around in their direction.

The Royal Galleon crew stared blankly as the two ships in front of them looked like they were about to collide into eachother. The crew immediately popped out the rum and started to party as they hoped the two ships sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Unfortunately, things got worse for the Galleon. The Oracle sped right past the Jewel and towards the Galleon.

Mack and Captain Abby dropped their bottles of rum.. Zarah and Cat stopped dancing. Ewald finally woke up from his drunken haze.

As minutes flew by the Galleon prepared to battle..

"Why would they attack us?!"

Oracle of the West was right across from the Galleon now. They were once again sailing right past them.

The Galleon crew stared back at the Oracle of the West crew as they were passing. Finally, someone said something...

"Where are you guys going?" asked Cat

Marius yelled back....

"Were off to Tortuga you scallywags!"

Instructions

Welcome to the island of Tortuga. :) This is an island of gambling, drunks, and prostitutes.

On this island you may choose where you want to go. There are three main places, and you will get to communicate with pirates from other ships and even compete against them. You may only pick one yellow area to play in, however you can RP in other yellow areas. But only pick one to play in.

You can go anywhere and in your RPs you may go somewhere and then walk away to the beach or something. You DO NOT have to do any gameplay. Gameplay is not required. If you do want to gameplay though, pick one of the three areas first and POST in this thread.


I would like to play in: Palms Bar, A Pirate's Luck, or Madame Linda's house.


Your Map

Yellow Square: A yellow square is a location where you may win coins or items. These areas have a yellow box and the word glows in red; it is a gameplay area. You may choose that you do NOT want to do any gameplay. You MAY choose to go to the bar just for rping.
Green Square: A green square is a location where there is no gameplay. It is simply for RP purposes only. It is a green bow and the word glows in green. Both beaches are RP only with no gameplay.
Glow Square: You may not go to any houses/blue squares.

Moon Motel
First you may want a place to sleep over, at Moon Motel. This place normally costs 2000 coins per person a night, but because you know "people" you all get in free. Each room holds 3 people and you can decide who you want to share a room with.

http://i13.tinypic.com/63iheab.jpg

Tea House
A quiet and elegant place in the middle of the island. How odd! If you are too sophisticated for the bar then come here!

http://i13.tinypic.com/6468vv4.jpg

Red Snake Beach
Nobody knows why this beach is called Red Snake Beach. Perhaps a pirate that had too many booze saw something that looked like a red snake. Anyways this beach is pretty nice. It is a little bit longer than Starry Beach and the water is much warmer for some reason.


http://i13.tinypic.com/6cih44l.jpg

Starry Beach
This beach is very quite and a nice place to relax and get away.

http://i9.tinypic.com/52pbc54.jpg

Palms Bar
Oh yes the Palm Bar. I can't remember much about this place because I was so drunk the last time I went. Anyways, if you come here you will get drunk and get in a fight.

http://i19.tinypic.com/4tala8p.jpg

A Pirate's Luck
A series of gambling will be going on here. Bring your luck!

http://i16.tinypic.com/6g1v2mc.jpg
Thanks to trampledsneakers for making the beautiful sim!

Madame Linda's House
You may decide to stay here instead of the motel. Madame Linda is known to play games though, so watch out.



:alarm: You may start to RP now. However, if you want to gameplay copy the quote thing above and post in the next couple of days (48 hours). After I know who is playing what I will post the instructions to play. Good luck- and thanks everyone for the kind words!

If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Tortuga

The island of Tortuga is an island of gambling, drunks, and prostitutes. The three crews have stopped here before, so it may be fun to come back. On this island you may choose where you want to go. Everyone on your crew does not have to go to the same place on the island. You all may break up into little groups or do anything you want. Your captain will decide how long you will stay there.

If you have any specific questions about the island of Tortuga feel free to ask. If you have any suggestions please tell me, because I may just consider it. You may want to add a new place to Tortuga or something like that.

Wait Period: 24 Hours

A Pirate's Luck Gambling Centre
The best place to gamble on the island! Fights break out sometimes. Play some cards, or Liar's Dice!

[Pandrito]

Great TORTUGA!!!
It looks like we will have tons of fun :D
I will love to gameplay, but first let me check with my crew to see what they are going to do

[Hamsterball]

((Ooh, this looks fun! :D

I would like to play in: Palms Bar. I'm up for a fight. :)))

"Its not your fault..." he spoke. "Emeraldia, your not half bad. I don't blame you for what happened, if anything I'm more to blame..."

Emeraldia watched as Zane fell asleep and Dementia approached, standing next to Zane and taking a curious look at the bruise forming around his eye.

"That's a lovely shiner you got yourself there."

Zane let out a loud snore and Dementia and Emeraldia chuckled to themselves, watching as he rolled over in his drunken sleep. Emeraldia glanced up at Dementia again, noticing that she had a trace of pity on her face.

"I'm sorry."

Emeraldia swallowed hard, knowing what she must mean. It had to be obvious that the Oracle crew had not found her... She was, after all, still aboard the Jewel. It wasn't helping that the crew stared her down at every possible moment - except, of course, for those too drunken for understanding, and those would sort of respected her. In short, she found friends in Zane and Dementia, and she supposed if she tried harder maybe some of the others would show kindness towards her as well.

"It's alright, really," Emeraldia managed to smile at Dementia. "I can't say I don't wish they'd found me..." She suddenly cut herself off as she noticed the Oracle coming closing towards their ship. This is it! she thought to herself, smiling openly. They're coming back for me! Dementia jumped to alertness and ran towards the cabins, shouting that the Oracle was approaching. But just in time for the entire crew to come stumbling onto the deck, the Oracle took a turn and started towards the Galleon.

"What..." Emeraldia murmured, staring in wonder as it drew past the Galleon as well. Suddenly she heard someone aboard yell something about Tortuga, and her face lit up. Tortuga!

Their ships followed the Oracle close behind, and as soon as they arrived in port, Emeraldia lept off the ship and took off with a new happiness in her step. It was time to get a drink at the Palm's.

[123321_SC]

Thanks you guys hope you have fun :) Try to tell me which yellow area you want to go to (IF you want gameplay) in 48 hours.

For the first 48 hours everything will be strictly RPing and you don't have to stay in the same place the whole time either.

This is just a list for me to keep track of who is going where. I will add you when you tell me:

Palms Bar
Emeraldia/Hamsterball

A Pirate's Luck

Madame Linda's House

[Gerbera]

I would like to play in: Madame Linda's house.

RP to be posted sooner or later, I just have to think about a proper reaction to what Menyw said :lol:

[redwing_SC]

((I would like to play in: A Pirate's Luck.))

[MagicBeans]

((OOC: Ohhhhh now I'm trying to convince Menyw that, as Captain, he should pick something respectable and well behaved. But all he says is "Flark that, I'm a pirate!" So it's off to the Palms Bar for Menyw please, who could use a stiff drink and a reason to beat the bloody 'ell out of someone right now. Plus...its still his birthday! :laugh: See you there Hamster *wink*))

[foolinthemoon]

((Drinking? Will sooooo be there! Palms Bar! But i can (for rp puposes) have a hotel room if i want as well right?))

[123321_SC]

[XsnowdropX]

((Palms bar for me too:). Sounds fun.

Ill rp later, right now Im getting annoyed into going swimming *sigh*. I too tired but my brother is sooo annoying:P))

[SwiftSign_SC]

((Zane wishes to go the the Palms Bar with Dementia, Emeraldia and the captain :P))

[Nora_SC]

((Auberon wants to go to Madame Linda's house.))

[MagicBeans]

I slowly pulled myself to my feet, half unable to believe my eyes.

Tortuga. The one place I've been dreaming about going to since I had decided that the life of a pirate was for me. Ahhh Tortuga. We had barely made port when I jumped over the railing, landing firm on the dock before us. My eyes wide open, I stood in one spot taking in the sights. It didn't take long before my gaze fell onto a sign just ahead..."Palms Bar". Yes. That's just what I needed. A spot of a drink would do me some good. I started towards it, stopping briefly to look back at the ship. Shaking my head, knowing I would do no good talking to her now, I turned back towards the bar and set forth.

Pushing my way through the doors, it was a busy place full of drink and spirits. Men laughing, women providing "company" and ale all around. Just the sort of place I needed. A grin shot across my face as I stepped in. I walked towards the bar, barely missing being knocked over by a bloke who'd clearly had one too many ales already. As I stepped up to the bar, I was surprised to see Emeraldia already there.

"Well hello dear." I waved to the bartender. "Whatever she's drinking, and another for her." Tossing him a poe, "On me."

---
((OOC: Drinks for my crew are on Menyw! He's ready to get smashin' drunk and bring everyone down with him LOL))

[Gerbera]

Screaming, Menyw left the room, as if running for his life.
Estelle sighed deeply and felt like crying, but the tears would not come.
She really didn't imagine that he'd react in this particular way.
The woman thought it best to not follow the Captain, but to give him time to think.

Not very much time passed until they reached Tortuga. After she was sure that everyone else had left the ship, Estelle left it as well and headed towards Madame Linda's house. This place wasn't very popular and not as crowded as the motel. She really didn't want to speak to any of the crew members right now and had decided to spend the night at the island.
Madame Linda, the owner of this etablissement, would always gamble, a good think to help Estelle to stop thinking about Menyw's negative reaction ...

[Haylifer]

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me..

Unnervingly happy, Mickey skipped across the deck clutching his trademark bottle of rum. But this rum's not as good as the stuff they sell there.. He hummed the pirate medley as he went about fixing the ropes, loosening the sails off and tossing the occasional cannonball overboard. Won't need them where we're going! Suddenly a brainwave made him stop in his tracks, and the force of this on his unfocused mind nearly sent him crashing over.

With a silly grin on his face, he dashed over to Evelynn who stood at the wheel navigating. Niftily stealing the compass from the captain, he flipped it open and gazed at the little needle for a while, trying to figure out how the device worked.

"W- we - need to go that way!" he slurred at Evelynn, waving one arm at the horizon in the direction the needle pointed.
"That's North, Mickey. We head that way and we'll end up with the polar bears and icebergs. And a hundred leagues from that Aztec gold we need."
"No.." he protested, "I mean.. I smell rum.."
"That's because you're inebriated with the stuff."
"Not this rum!" he waved the bottle around, slopping most of it across the deck. "Good rum. Tortuga rum." his eyes twinkled mischeviously as he passed the compass back to Evelynn and skipped down to the kitchen. Earlier on he'd stashed some rum bottles in there.. they might come in useful right now.

Having found the rum in the kitchen, he turned to leave when he spotted someone having a snack on the leftovers. That blonde pirate he'd took such amusement in stabbing earlier on.. Had he been sober, Mickey would have avoided this guy in case he decided to exact revenge in some way. But, perceptions distorted, he crept behind Will and said "Hungry, are ye?"

Suddenly, the drunk sprite giggled loudly, grabbing Will's arm before the boy could react and dragging him back up to the deck. "Don't ya worry, la.. Plently of food in Tortuga. And the best rum in the world. And gamblin' and fightin'.. and.." - he shuddered with both excitement and fear - "prostitutes. Come on! What're ya waiting for, eh?"

He spied Ceryni talking with Marius, making these two his new victims of annoyance. "Ceryni! Marie! Can't ya just smell the rum already?" he reached up and patted Marius on the shoulder in what was meant to be a fatherly way. "All the prostitutes a man can cope with. An' I'm sure there's plenty of fighting to be done." With a grin, he ran to the stern of the ship, eyes wide in anticipation of this port full of treasures more appealing than gold.

Ceryni heard a distant "Land ho!" from a drunken and childish Mickey who happened to be running all over deck. Ceryni and Marius made their way to deck to help dock the ship with Ceryni still smirking over Mickey's earlier comment to Marius about prostitutes.

After docking, Ceryni got off the ship alongside Marius. Mickey ran off to presumably the nearest Bar. Ceryni looked behind them to see the two ships moving in. Should be fun, we've just had a battle, stolen their crew mates and we're all on the same island? Ceryni and Marius walked off talking and exploring the island.

They both ended up in the bar alongside many of the other crews. They were sat around a table with their fellow Oracle members, and the other crews were divided similarly. Tension was in the air but was becoming more relaxed as pirates got drunk and forgot grudges. Ceryni started to drink himself, which he had been doing much more lately, but didn't drink to the extent where he couldn't remember his name. Marius seemed to hold his rum well and Ceryni was slowly getting used to it. Many of their crew members were completely out of it, but they were here to have fun.

[foolinthemoon]

Dementia stood on the dock watching the other crew mates scatter in various locations. She made her way to the hotel in hopes of a real hot bath. One of the ups of being land bound. She was dirty and bloody passing a pirates store that sold various goods. Mostly items stolen from various locations and sold to the store. She walked in hopeful, maybe she'd find some nice clean clothes. When she walked out again, she'd found many treasures, some paid for, some not. Honor among theives? That was a myth if they werent' your crew mates to her. She checked into the hotel and it was alot cleaner than she remembered. The dark velvet couch in the lounge looked inviting as she walked up the steps to her room, Someone would be drawing her a hot bath momentarily. She smiled as she shrugged off her dirty clothes and let down her hair. She looked down to her stomach at the wound, it wasnt' very deep, but it required a few stitches. She'd have to be careful to not soak it in the water. She poured some oils in before she slipped into the bath and washed herself carefully. She may be a pirate, but even more she was a woman. She sat in there for a while before she forced herself out. She fished a comb from the bag and ran it through her long dark hair before she found the white dress that buttoned up in the front. It was about all they had that would fit her, or atleast to her liking. She remembered she'd had a dress very similar while woking as a bar maid. She ran her fingers over the fresh fabric before unbuttoning a few buttons up to mid thigh and one or two at the chest. She found her earrings and placed them back in her ears and headed out to the bar. She knew Zane, Gaema and Emeraldia would be there, and wondered if they'd even recognize her.

[Shenanigans_SC]

I was happily stuffing my face when a voice from behind startled me half to death. “Hungry are ye?” Before I could lift the fork to my mouth again Mickey had grabbed a hold of my arm and lifted me to my feet. I wiped my mouth on my sleeve as he drug me up to the deck rambling on about rum, food, gambling, rum, fighting, prostitutes, and rum. It proved impossible to keep a straight face around the little sprite. He was something else. I had hoped I’d be able to have a conversation with him, get him to answer a few questions, but seeing him in the state he was in, I knew that would be impossible.

As we came in to port I saw The Galleon and The Jewel not far behind us. My mind wandered to Cat. Oh how I long to see her again, but how long could this go on? I called to Marius and asked where they were headed. I should have known they’d be going to the bar. I told them I needed a little time alone and that I’d catch up to them later. I then made my way to Starry Beach, hoping it would be deserted.

[MagicBeans]

"Whatever she's drinking, and another for her." Tossing him a poe, "On me."

Before Emeraldia could reply, the sounds of male gruntal noises very familiar to me caught my attention. They could only mean one thing. I turned to see the most beautiful woman I've ever seen walk through the door. Her hair...those eyes...the way her dress was unbuttoned up to there, and down to there...she was a sight. I stood and watched as she moved into the room, catching the eye of every bloke in range. The whistles, the jeers...yes she was attracting a fair amount of attention.

I stood up slowly, watching her move. Where did she learn to walk like that? Dear Lord...that is a gift. Truly a gift. The bartender mentioned my drink, but I waved him away as I walked towards her.

Pushing another bloke out of the way, I finally reached her. There I stood in front of her, a silly grin on my face. "Dementia. You're looking very lovely tonight." I offered her my arm. "Join us at the bar? Or would you prefer I clear a table for you?"

((You forgot me:(:P))

We're going to Tortuga. I sat near the bow of the ship, watching the island come into view. I wasnt too sure how I felt, it seemed.....fun. I suppose. I wanted to be alone, and that proved difficult on the ship.

We reached the town, and everyone went their seperate ways, many heading for Palms Bar. I didnt wish to go there, it was too crowded, and instead made my way to Starry Beach. I was pretty there, bringing a smile to my face. However I was only alone for a moment before a blonde pirate showed up.

We locked eyes, I recognized him instantly as one of the pirates who attacked the Jewel during the last battle. He was from the Oracle, though he didnt seem to be unhumanlike, he had normal toned skin.

I blinked, I wasnt alone anymore. I turned without a word and headed toward Palms Bar, deciding I wanted a drink.

I entered, buying my drink and making my way over to a corner. I suppose Im alone enough here...I thought, tucking my hair up into my hat. I was far from in the mood to put up with some drunkard noticing I was a girl and come over thinking he could win me over.

I tipped my chair back on its back legs, leaning against the wall surveying the bar, I noticed Zane, Gaema, Emeraldia, Menyw, and newly arrived Dementia at the bar. However, no thought crossed my mind to join them. I took in more rum, rocking lightly on the chair. Maybe it wouldnt be so bad here after all.

((Lol Monas adopting my current mood, resentment of any human company. Shes all moody. Though Im sure shell chill out after a few minutes))

[foolinthemoon]

Walking toward the bar entrance, the breeze carried the smell of the sea up to her nose, and the longing to go stick her feet in came rushing to her. She shook her head, She could do that later. Tonight, She was going to drink in an actual bar. She adjusted the knife strapped to her leg before she walked through the door. A few men grunted and whistled and few offered to pay her for her services. She rolled her eyes, as she realized a man was reaching for her bottom. "Don't you dare," She smacked his hand away before uttering a threat that invovled utilizing her knife on a precious body part of his. He chuckled at her responding, "I like them fiesty." But he was shoved out of the way by another antsy... Menyw?

"Dementia. You're looking very lovely tonight." He stuck his arm out for her to take, "Join us at the bar? Or would you prefer I clear a table for you?" The grin on his face made Dementia smile. She thought about the question and responded, "The Bar is fine, and thank you." She took his arm and he lead her to the bar, where she spotted Gaema, Zane, and Emeraldia, Mona seemed to be sitting in a corner and she looked around for Estelle*, frowning slightly when she didn't see her, but was distracted by a woman wearing an eye patch gruffly asked her, "What will ye be havin'?" She thought for only a moment before answering. "Brandy," the woman gave her an odd look, Should have known, she thought. "Whiskey then, and a Beer to chase."

She sat down at the bar and looked at Menyw still wearing that silly grin. After she finished one, he bought her another, and another, finally, she was in a state of giggling and laid her hand on Menyw's leg before leaning over to give him a kiss.

[123321_SC]

Sorry about that snowdrop I added you!

[starphyre77_SC]

((I would like to play in: Madame Linda's house.))
-----------

As we pulled into port, I saw that the Oracle and the Jewel were already there. I wonder if they’ve allowed Will to go ashore, I thought anxiously. I hoped to find him here, to tell him how I felt and how we were going to find the way to end his curse.

Upon disembarking, I heard Mack say he was planning to go to A Pirate’s Luck, but I didn’t hear where the others were going. “I’m going to stay at Madame Linda’s,” I told Abby. “It’s bound to be quieter than the Moon Motel.” And I’m probably less likely to run into either of those two Oracle swine, I added silently. I still wanted to render them limb from limb, but I didn’t want to cause any trouble…yet.

Abby gave me an uncertain look, and glanced at the others almost as though she was considering sending someone to keep an eye on me, then she looked back at me with a glare and said, “You have your orders. I’m trusting you to follow them.”

“Aye Captain,” I said looking her in the eye.

Apparently satisfied with my response, she said, “I be lookin’ fer some action,” as she headed off.

Seeing as it was a moonless night, I grabbed a lantern, and headed off as well. I had planned to go straight to Madame Linda’s, but as I rounded the last corner, I noticed that Starry Beach was just behind Madame Linda’s. I felt that a little peace and quiet would do me good, so I veered from the path, and headed to the beach.

When I got to the beach, I just held the lantern down by my side and gazed out to sea, but I was so lost in thought that I wasn’t really seeing anything. Suddenly I was startled out of my reverie by a familiar, and very welcome voice saying my name.

I turned in the direction of the voice, and with a smile I quietly said, “Will…” Letting the lantern fall to the sand, I rushed over to him, threw my arms around him, and leaned into his chest. I was so relieved and happy to see him that everything I had wanted to say died on my lips; for the moment I just wanted to hold him…to reassure myself that he was really there.

((OOC: Mush alert! Who knew pirates could be so mushy! lol))

As I started walking down the shoreline I happened upon another pirate. I supposed she had to be from the Jewel as I knew she wasn't from the Galleon, and not on the Oracle's current crew. She quickly rose and left the beach when she noticed my presence. Guess I’m not the only one who wants to be alone. I went up away from the shore line and into the palm trees and brush that was dimly lit by the torches from the nearby houses. Perhaps I could find some exotic fruit in the trees. As I was searching, a light on the beach demanded my attention. Could it be? I began to walk very slowly towards her, as if approaching too fast would send her running away. I called to her softly, but there was no response. She was just staring out into the sea, lost in her thoughts. I approached even closer, and called her name again, "Cat?" This time she turned and rushed into my open arms.

I held her close taking in the scent of her hair. It was as if all troubles had passed away. For just a moment I was happy, happy there with her. Nothing good comes from love. came that nagging voice in my head. I pulled away just slightly and lifted her chin so I could look in her eyes. “You know…” I struggled to find my words. “You know I’m not… I’m not… normal.”
“I don’t care, you’re still Will.” She replied searching my eyes the way only she could.
“I don’t… I don’t feel the same.” I said in a barely audible tone, breaking our gaze.
She furrowed her brow at me yet again and asked me to explain. My arms dropped from around her as I took a step to the side and began to walk closer to the ocean. Truth was I didn’t know how to explain it to her, as I didn’t really understand it myself. “I don’t really know. I mean, it’s kind of great, I can live through anything." I shrugged my shoulders and continued, "But it’s not right, it’s not natural.” I let out a deep sigh. “I’m not worth ... worth this.”

She walked over to me and softly said, “Please look at me Will.” I reluctantly turned to face her. Her eyes were so deep, and her face so beautiful. She continued, “The eyes are the window to the soul… these are the same eyes I looked into when we were on the Oracle, and they’re the same eyes I saw when we first met.” I didn’t have any words to offer in response, so she continued. “The Oracle may have changed your body, but you still own your soul.” I wrestled with her words. I felt as if the Oracle had my soul, as if I was its prisoner. But I for one knew not to argue with Cat Calloway.
I wrapped my arms back around her… “I guess even though my body didn’t, my spirit sort of died. It feels like it was ages ago.” I said with a slight smile. I wasn’t sure why, but she smiled too.
"You know what I thought when we first met?" I asked teasingly.
"What?"
"I wondered if you even knew how to use a sword." I admitted with a laugh as she jabbed me playfully. I interrupted her laugh when I leaned in and kissed her. This time without worrying about who was out to get us; for all I cared, that beach was made solely for the two of us.

After our kiss she sat on the beach while I laid with my head upon her lap. She ran her fingers through my hair as we looked up at the stars. Sailing on the open sea, one often thinks of the stars as solely a map to navigate by. For some reason, tonight they were filled with beauty.

[Hamsterball]

"Well hello dear. Whatever she's drinking, and another for her. On me."

"Why thank you, captain," Emeraldia chuckled. "So polite." However, she noticed his attention was not on her, but on a newly arrived woman in a very scandalous white dress. Almost every man's attention was on the woman as well - was that Dementia? Emeraldia smiled a bit to herself. She certainly cleaned up well - especially compared to Emeraldia, who was currently dressed in soiled pants and an oversized beige shirt. Hardly clothes to wear out, but she didn't care. Nothing complimented her skin, anyways.

"Dementia. You're looking very lovely tonight. Join us at the bar? Or would you prefer I clear a table for you?"

Emeraldia watched as Menyw, the suave little charmer, offered Dementia his arm, and they both came striding over. Dementia made a quick order of three drinks and Emeraldia quickly accepted her second rum. She couldn't help but notice Mona sitting alone in the corner. Perhaps, if Mona got drunk enough, she might wander over and join them at the bar. Hopefully Emeraldia would be decent enough to leave her alive.

Many drinks later, Emeraldia felt a bit out of place. Being a half-zombie had it's benefits, sure, but the alcohol had no effect on her. While her surrounding comrades giggled and sang off-tune, she was incapable of becoming drunk or even enjoying her drinks. Emeraldia glanced over at her crewmates at the bar just in time to see Dementia lean in to kiss Menyw.

[SwiftSign_SC]

Zane entered the bar, with Gaema, Emeraldia, Mona and the Captain. They all ordered drinks in. Dementia arrived as seconds rolled in - rum all round!

Menyw showed her over to us, the rum must have had some effect already as everyone cheered and waved as she made her way across.

The next few minutes seemed a blur, everything was spinning and the word 'rum' seemed to echo around the bar like that cave not so long ago... Ah the memories. Zane remebered all the fun times on the ship and everywhere they had visited. It had all been so good until the recent battle... and a certain incident.

Zane looked around, Estelle* was nowhere in sight, he wondered whether it was inappropriate for him to go find her, she as probably on here own.


((123 is Zane allowed to move around Tortuga? He has an urge to find Estelle*?))

[foolinthemoon]

((Swifty the answer is yes... lol...All of it's available for RP, but i think you just choose ONE location to partake in one activity that may come later in Tortuga, i think, 123, if i explained that all wrong, smack me and tell me eat a shoe :P... Dementia'd kick my arse if she knew i answered that, so lets not tell her! XD))

[SwiftSign_SC]

Zane slipped out of the Palm's Bar un-noticed by his crewmates, they were having far too much fun and rum to notice him - and remember it.

Outside the air was cool and fresh, the sweat on his neck cooled from the breeze making him feel alot calmer then he was.

Ok, if I was a young pirate girl with a stuck-up Captain for a lover where would I be...

His eyes fell on upon the building opposite him; the sign read: Madame Linda's House. That would be a good place to start.

He entered, it was much quiter then the bar. And there she was sitting on her own in the corner - Estelle*. He approached her slowly, not sure of how she would react to his presence after the night before. However he was glad to see when he was noticed she looked pleased, pleased to have company.

"Hey need some company?"


((Eek im sorry Magic, Zane is such a meddler >.< and he cares bout poor lil Estelle*))

[Haylifer]

((Mickey's dying to meet people. Be warned, theres a highly excited drunken sprite on the loose. Will edit this with a RP for sake of anti-spam..))

[MagicBeans]

The more we drank, the bigger my grin grew. Yes this was just what I needed. With every drink she finished, I ordered her and myself another. We toasted to everything we could think of, including the scallywags on the Oracle and Galleon. At some point I remembered others from the crew being there, but over time they seemed to fade away from view. My eyes were locked on hers as she lay her hand on my leg, instantly bringing myself to full attention.

"Dementia..." The rest of my sentence fell short as she leaned in and kissed me. I held her face in my hands, lost in the kiss I had missed so much. It ended as quickly as it had begun - broken free by a big smelly man who had lost control of his feet and landed on Dementia. I jumped from my seat, stepping in between her and the man stumbling to his feet. "Watch where you are walking, landlubber."

As he rose to his feet I realized just how tall the bloke really was. I leaned my head back to look up at him, surprising as I am not a short man myself. He snarled slightly as I held my place. "You fell on the lady. I say you apologize to her, and be on your way."

He let out a hearty gruntal noise that may have been his attempt at a laugh before taking a swing at me. I ducked out of the path of his fist, landing a solid jab in his gut. He buckled over giving me the opportunity to introduce his face to my right knee. Before he could finish falling to the floor, someone had grabbed me from behind, pinning my arms behind my back. Another smelly man stepped in front of me, grinning a nasty toothless grin. He pulled his fist back, giving me the perfect opportunity to use the rodent behind me as leverage. I lifted my feet up, kicking the man in front of me causing him to lose his footing and trip over the big smelly man I'd knocked down previously. From behind me came the sound of glass breaking, and I felt my arms go free. I spun to see Dementia holding a broken bottle, watching my captor slump to the floor.

"Thank you darling" I said, winking at her.

"Captain! Behind you!"

---
((The fight has begun! This can be any CJer yelling out...take it away! LOL))

[123321_SC]

Foolin' is right Swift you can post anywhere, but choose one place for a later activity.

I will update the list a little later

[Hamsterball]

Emeraldia watched in slight horror as the captain and Dementia shared a passionate kiss, until a burly man broke it up. It instantly turned into a drunken fight, with two men against one Menyw. Emeraldia watched as Dementia regained her composure and slammed a bottle against the head of the man holding Menyw's arms. It appeared like success, but Emeraldia noticed the rest of their burly gang approaching - three rather tall men with muscles poking out of everywhere.

"Captain! Behind you!" she yelled, leaping from her spot at the bar. It was about time she got some action in this place. She gladly joined the fight, landing a kick in a rather uncomfortable spot to one of the men. He doubled over in pain, and she took the opportunity to make a swing for his jaw. It made a satisfying crack and the man fell backwards, slamming in the bar and knocking half the wine bottles in the back off of their shelves.

The other two men were now engaged in a fight with Menyw, with Dementia helpless in her white dress. It was obviously not made for fighting, but she was doing the best she could with broken bottles and other hard objects she could get her hands on. Emeraldia drew her dagger, knowing that it was only a matter of time before the others drew theirs as well. Before she could land one punch, one of the burly men lifted her up and tossed her into a table. She felt the tiny pricks of sliding over forks and knives, as well as bits of broken glass. It took a moment for her to regain herself once she stopped moving, but she stood back up and returned to the fight with a new anger brewing inside.

[Haylifer]

It took Mickey a while to realise what was going on when the pirates surrounding him in Palms Bar started to get rather excited and rowdy. It was only when a large amount of rum was spilled over his head, thanks to some big fella Mickey reasoned was too burly to challenge, that the drunk sprite came to understand that this was a fight starting up - and not just a regular fight either, more of a friendly brawl. A pirate sport, Mickey guessed, putting down his drink and edging towards the back of the room. He wasn't desperate to get involved, as fun as getting the brains knocked out of you looked.

Just then, he spotted someone he recognised, fighting against the big guy who'd spilt his rum.

"Emeraldia!" he grinned, hopping over and sitting cross-legged on the table next to her; she was engaged with the brawl right now, but that didn't deter Mickey in trying to speak to his old crewmate.
"God to you, lass, haven't seen you in a fair while - how's the Jewel treating ya?"

Before she could answer, the table Mickey was sat on suddenly collapsed as two men threw each other onto it, leaving the sprite sat on the floor feeling slightly bewildered and trying to dodge the huge boots that were crashing down either side of him.

((And I'd like to play in Palm's Bar.))

[Shenanigans_SC]

I would like to play in A Pirate's Luck. Here's hoping Will's a lucky bloke.

[NayanRose]

I would like to play in: Palms Bar ... that way with our crew we've got all three areas covered. :D

[Gerbera]

After Estelle had entered the house, she greeted Madame Linda. They had already met earlier, when she had not been a pirate ...
The woman had told her that there would be some gambling that night, Estelle greeted these words. "This will help me to stop about my future ..."

She ordered some coconut milk, something that would always calm her down and make her feel more comfortable. The taste reminded her of past times ...

Estelle was sitting in her corner, quite moody, when suddely someone entered the room. As she looked up, she saw that it was her crew mate Zane.
Feeling relieved that is was no rival pirate and no mad and angry Menyw she smiled at him.

"Hey need some company?"
"Yeah, sit down ..." For a moment she thought about mentioning the previous incident but then didn't say anything about it. "He was just drunk ..."

"So, where are the others?" she asked instead and ordered a beer for Zane.

[MagicBeans]

I spun around just in time to see Emeraldia kicking a man in his carribbean jewels. I mouthed a quiet "oooo" as I watched him fall to the floor in pain. From out of nowhere, a fist flew towards me, knocking me square in the jaw. I stumbled only slightly, quite a feat given my state of intoxication, and regained my footing as I held my jaw. "It's my birthday you wretched foot licker" Balling my hand to a fist, I returned the favor just as a second man we coming at me. "Ah! A dance! I accept!" I drew my cutlass, spinning on my heel and slicing him across his rotund belly.

I spun again, my cutlass held in front of me as if it were my dance partner. "Ah? Et tu?" I said to the rogue in front of me as he drew his dagger from his boot. Before he could finish his movement, I had introduced my cutlass to his right forearm, removing it completely. "Too slow chap." I used the heel of my boot to push him over, leaving him on the floor oozing blood and screaming in pain.

I had turned just in time to see the dagger flying towards Dementia. "No!" I yelled as I ran towards her, hoping to knock her out of the way before it met its mark.

[starphyre77_SC]

“I guess even though my body didn’t, my spirit sort of died. It feels like it was ages ago.” Will said with a slight smile. I was deeply troubled by his words, but I didn’t want him to think that I was giving up, so I gave a smile to match his.

"You know what I thought when we first met?" he teased.

“What?” I asked, a little surprised by the sudden change in topic.

"I wondered if you even knew how to use a sword."

With a slight scoff I gave him a playful jab, and his laughter caused me to laugh as well. It felt so good to laugh. The next thing I knew, we were locked in a kiss, and as I leaned into Will, everything else – the island, the ships, the battles, the pain – just disappeared. Afterwards, I sat with Will laying his head upon my lap, and I was idly running my fingers through his hair as we looked at the stars; silently enjoying each other’s company.

We stayed like that for what seemed like quite a while, but then Will’s words suddenly came back to haunt me. “My spirit sort of died.” Still looking up I closed my eyes as I fought the lump that had formed in my throat.

“Will…” I said, struggling with my words as I looked down to him, “I can’t even begin to imagine what you must be going through, but I need you to know that I…I love you,” there they were, the words that neither of us had yet said, and I was a little afraid of how he might react, so I pressed on before he had the chance, “and I’m not giving up hope, so don’t you give up on me.” At that point I once again looked out over the water and continued, “I doubt they’ve told you, but there is a cure to this curse. An object made of gold is the key, and it’s on the Jewel.” I looked to Will, hoping that my determination masked my fear that he was going to leave, “We will find it…whatever it is…and we will make this right.”

[SwiftSign_SC]

"kicking a man in his caribbean jewels"

*falls down laughing*

hahaha

[XsnowdropX]

((fighting wheeeee:D))

I watched in amusement as the bar erupting into fighting. I grinned, this looks like its gonna be fun after all, watching other people beat eachother up, what better entertainment is there than that?

My amusement vanished as I noticed the fight was moving closer to my corner. Just as I was hoping they would move away so I wouldnt have to move in order to avoid getting accidently punched, one man was knocked nearly directly into me. My chair toppled over and I hit my head on a nearby table.

God...dammit. I rolled under the table as the man who nearly crushed me started trying to throw punches at me, apparently it was my fault he had fallen to the floor. "Shut-up." I groaned, aiming a kick square in his face.

Satisified, I stood back to my feet on the other side of the table. I looked around, the little green sprite from the Oracle caught my eye, he was panickly dodging the feet of two huge men fighting eachother right above his head. The sight made me smile a bit.

I was just debating whether I should join in the brawl or go find myself another corner when I felt two huge hands grab my arms. I let out an annoyed scream as I kicked at the man holding me, though the fact that I was quite short and he quite big made my efforts futile, and he responded by tossing me aside as far as he could throw, I would imagine, as I landed on the floor about ten feet away.

I found myself at the feet of another man fighting someone else from the Jewel. Deciding that perhaps I was in the correct position to help, I grabbed a nearby knife and stuck it through the mans ankle. He started yelling, kicking me square in the stomach out of anger, or on accident as he flailed in pain, I was unsure.

Looks like Im stuck fighting, I thought as I stood up, clutching my stomach and huffing for breath.

((OOC: I apologize in advance for the length of this. ))

As I was searching the starry expanse for a falling star or two, Cat broke the silence. “I can’t even begin to imagine what you must be going through, but I need you to know that I… I love you,” Her words were a shock to me. I’m not sure why, as I suppose any bloke with an ounce of sense could see it was coming. But none the less they were a shock to me. I didn’t know how to respond; luckily she didn’t give me the time to worry about it long, as she quickly continued her sentence. “And I’m not giving up hope, so don’t you give up on me.”

I heard a faint quiver in her voice. I shifted my gaze from the stars in the sky to the stars in her eyes, but she was looking out towards the ocean now. Then she spoke of a cure for the curse, for my curse. “An object made of gold is the key, and it’s on the Jewel.” With those words she shifted her gaze back to my eyes. As she stated very clearly that we would reverse the curse, I was overwhelmed with a sense of amazement. I sat up, now facing her, and pulled her into my arms. I wondered if she ever allowed herself to be scared. I wondered if she’d see right through me when I replied “I know we will too.” Of course I had no way to know that for sure, but something told me I needed to act like I did.

As she was still leaning against me I asked… “So the Jewel huh? So that’s what all this rivalry stuff is really about? Something made of gold to break the curse of the Oracle.” I wondered if my new shipmates were just as determined to break the curse as Cat was. I contemplated plans to see just what they knew. But if the answer actually lay with the Jewel crew, then I needed to take advantage of the small amount of time we’d all be on the same Island.

“As much as I wish this could go on forever, I wonder if we should be out searching for it.” Cat agreed. We made plans to split up and see what we could discover. We made our way up the path that led to Madam Linda’s. As we stood hand in hand before parting company I could tell there were words she was hoping, no, she needed to hear. Nothing good comes from love. Oye that stupid voice. “Cat, I won’t give up…” she smiled at me. Nothing good comes… oh stuff it! “…and you have my love.” I kissed her once again and started to walk away. I turned around once more, “Don’t let the Galleon leave before I get to see you again.” I called out to her.

As I headed down the road I thought of where I was going. I needed to find some Jewel pirates… where would they be. A smirk came across my face when I realized the stupidity of such a question. They’d be at the bar of course.

As I approached Palms Bar I could hear the ruckus that was going on inside. Hmm… sounds like the party started without me. For the first time the curse that I bore seemed to be a blessing. With a slight hop in my step I quickly made my way to the doors; indeed I was not disappointed when I reached them. There was furniture and pirates flying everywhere. I looked around the room rather amused by the massive bar brawl.

Then I spotted Mickey, after all he was easy to spot. He was in the most peculiar of positions sitting on the floor with massive men on either side swinging punches above his head. My mind quickly recalled how I had rather let him down during the last brawl upon the Jewel. I ran in ducking the swings of the men above him, hooked my arms under his and pulled him out of the way just before one of the men had fallen right where he was sitting.
Mickey turned and looked at me a bit surprised. I swelled with satisfaction, it felt good to get him back for all the times he had yanked me all over the ship. I gave him a wink. “I don’t suppose you’d give me a second chance to show ya I’m worthy to fight by your side aye?”

(((I would like to play in: Palms Bar please. :D)))
-----------------------------------------------
The crew had dispersed upon our arrival in Tortuga. I knew this because by the time I awoke out of my drunken stupor and had retrieved my breeches from the crow's nest (Don't ask me how they got up there!) everyone had disappeared... where to I didn't know or particularly care. They are their own people and they knew how to take care of themselves. I sat on my bunk, lost in thought.

Even my lovely Zarah could look out for herself more than adequately. I realized that we hadn't really spoken or seen much of each other since the kidnapping incident. Sure we'd spent nights together but whenever I stirred in the morning she'd either gone or it was time for me to go on duty. I guess I was a fool to assume that we had something more between us than brief encounters, she was fun and I enjoyed spending time with her but I often get the feeling with Zarah that men are very disposable and interchangeable items to be used and abused as she pleased. "Well now you know how it feels." said a nasty little voice in my brain.
"Quiet you!" I said aggressively to my own head. I slapped myself across the forehead and then shook my head. I think I'm going crazy.

It saddened me to think that Zarah didn't really want me or need me, except to fulfil a frequent physical necessity. I had simply filled a space in her bed which could undoubtedly be easily taken by another more than willing lover at the drop of a hat or any other garment for that matter.

I had spent a lot of time thinking recently, probably because of all the things between Cat and Will and the demise of the galleon. I was beginning to wonder, where I went wrong and started worrying about other people.
I decided long ago, before I joined the Royal Galleon's crew that it was a bad idea to form emotional attachments to other people - an up bringing such as mine teaches you to fend for yourself, else end up dead. I'd allowed this to happen once before and when you care about other people then they take advantage of it.
"Things aren't as simple as they used to be. You've changed." I thought to myself. "I can't let that happen again, it's rather messy." I figured I'd just have to keep my head down until I get a chance to leave the Galleon and take it. I nodded to myself I strolled off the ship for a walk.
"Yep, this will definitely be the right thing to do." I said, hoping I could convince myself.
I smiled and held my head higher as I walked. I'd been to Tortuga before - what pirate hasn't? - but there where always new places to go and explore. I came across a small bar and headed inside. It was a bit gloomy and you couldn't make out much but there was obviously a fight going on. I shrugged as headed to the bar and ordered the strongest drink they had. Someone on the barstool next to me tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see Captain Abby sat there. "Good to see you Ewald!" She said merrily. "Are you alright? You look a bit odd." She added. I got up quickly wondering just how much my guilty face gave away and started to mumble a hurried excuse when someone whacked me around the head with a bar stool, which shattered on impact.
"Bastard!" I shouted, unsheathing my sword and I spun to face my foe.

(((Madame Linda's please :P)))

[andymy]

Madame Linda's House . . . and can somebody call Gil.. can someone help me get back on the track with the rp :) . . last time I rp with her . . it was a loong time ago . . and she was painting :) . . .

[starphyre77_SC]

As we walked toward Madame Linda’s I found myself hoping for Will to say something, but I wasn’t quite sure what.

“Cat, I won’t give up…” he said, “…and you have my love.” Got it in two, I thought as I smiled at him, and before I could say anything he kissed me once again. Then he turned to leave, but not before calling back, “Don’t let the Galleon leave before I get to see you again.”

“I won’t,” I assured him, and as I watched him walk down the road, I felt great happiness, but it was tinged with dread. Despite my bravado, I couldn’t help but remember that I had felt the same confidence while trying to rescue Will and that didn’t turn out too well. What if– NO! I scolded myself. I left the thought unfinished, and went into Madame Linda’s

Upon entering, I surveyed the room and I noticed that there were a few people sitting at scattered tables, but there was no one I recognized. Then my eye fell upon the man (Zane) and woman (Estelle*) sitting at one of the corner tables. They looked familiar to me, and judging by the look I received, I felt confident that they were members of the Jewel’s crew.

Hoping to start off on the right foot, I just gave a polite smile, nodded in their direction, and went to the bar. When I asked Madame Linda for a hot chocolate, I wasn’t really expecting her to have any, but much to my surprise and delight she did. Granted it wasn’t cheap, but it was well worth it.

I turned away from the bar, and keeping both hands on my mug, I casually walked over to the table with the Jewel’s crew. I thought I saw them tense up so when I got to the table I smiled and said, “I don’t want any trouble, I was just hoping we could talk. Mind if I join you?”

[Gerbera]

Estelle and Zane were talking together, enjoying the atmosphere of Madame Linda's House. She had almost forgotten to worry about Menyw and the baby, although there always seemed to be some dark thoughts deep down in her mind.

Suddenly the door opened again, and a woman entered. Estelle immediately knew that she was from the Galleon, she had seen her in one of the battles. The woman nodded in their direction and then ordered herself something to drink.

Zane took a sip from his beer and seemed to feel uncomfortable, just like Estelle.
"I hope she doesn't want to fight or something, I am really not in the mood ..." she said.

Then the Galleon Pirate walked over to their table and said “I don’t want any trouble, I was just hoping we could talk. Mind if I join you?”

Surprised but delighted, Estelle shook her head and said "Not at all, sit down please. I am Estelle, and" she pointed at her crew mate, "this is Zane. You're from the Galleon, right?!"

((Andy, I just saw your post. I don't know how to include Gil right now but I'd love to RP with her again :) Maybe you could just let her walk in and join our conversation?!))

[foolinthemoon]

The Next thing Dementia knew, she was thrown on to the bar, by a large man landing ontop of her, interrupting her kiss. She stood gathering her self while Menyw called the man a lubber, a very unnice thing to consider another pirate. She blinked a couple of times to try to straighten out her vision, watching the men tower slightly over the Captains.... Wait... Captains? "You fell on the lady. I say you apologize to her, and be on your way." Atleast he never backs down. The Next thing Dementia was able to see was the beginning of a fight break out while two Menyw's fought quite a few other Pirates. Why Didn't Menyw tell me he had a twin? Dementia watched for a second before she realized that they now had Menyw one and two in a lock of some sort and she grabbed one of the bottles off of the bar. *Whoosh* she brought down the bottle on to air and through the figure of the pirate, sighing when she realized she was just too damned drunk for her own good. "Why does these things always start when i'm too drunk?" She asked herself more than anyone else, She brought the bottle down again on the other head in her veiw and the resounding crash was enough to let her know she'd been victorious.

"Thank you darling" Menyw one and two merged into each other and she sighed, darn...

"Captain! Behind you!" Emeraldia jumped to her feet as three more large men joined in. Dementia threw bottles and a few fists, mostly looking out for the others, as it seemed the pirates didn't realize yet she was part of this fight. She spotted Mona on the floor having stabbed a man in the ankle, and Dementia grinned, a bit jealous she'd never done that.

The Next thing she remembered was the Captain screaming for her to get out of the way and running towards her. She wasn't sure what he was screaming out until he was standing face to face with her. She looked at the bar where the still shaking dagger had landed and shrugged. She pulled the dress slightly and retrieved the dagger from the sheath on her leg and smiled, "Thanks." She pulled the other dagger from the bar, a bit shorter, but it would do. She'd had a dagger thrown at her... She is so killing that person, when she figures out who it is... She even spotted an Oracle memeber being bashed in the head with a barstool... Yeap, this was going to be interesting.

[SwiftSign_SC]

((ooc; 123 Zane will be playing at Madame Linda's House, lol. He wants to get up on a list >.<))

“I don’t want any trouble, I was just hoping we could talk. Mind if I join you?” Said the approaching Galleon

Zane looked up from his bottle, nodding in approval. However he was still rather cautious, this was essentually the enemy.

"Not at all, sit down please. I am Estelle*, and" she indicated Zane sitting opposite her, "this is Zane. You're from the Galleon, right?!"

"Sorry I didn't catch your name," he said, smiling up at the pirate. He had seen her before, no doubt in one of the many battles they had fought against each other. It seemed rather a weird thought to think that they were now sitting down drinking with high hopes and a merry smile.

[devoshka]

((123 you missed pretty will :( post 2307, but now both the wills are at one place maybe i should change :/ ))

[MagicBeans]

((OOC: Andymy, my advice is to jump right in. Have Gil walk in and see them and sit down with them. :) ))

[andymy]

((( HERE I COME )))


Gil entered like a storm in the bar . . the door hit the wall when opened . . everybody looked at her . . . then she stretched her body and took a noised yawn . . "Damn I fell so old . . and . . ." then she saw her team sitting at the bar" OH ! Estelle* and Zane !! how my mates doing ??. . . then she merge her body to the bar... taking a chair from a table and getting close to the members of the crew . . . " How are you guys... how long did I was in that room ?? I just lost days, hours and so and so . . .It seams that painting is my life... ^_^ " than a strange sound had been heard from Gil's stomach. . . " /_\ it seams that I'm hungry . . .Anyway . . Estelle* is it me or you just got a little fat ?? Damn girl how much do you eat . . . -_- we realy need to do some training on the ship"

[Gerbera]

(( :lol: Andy, love your RP :D I'll post one of my own later. But I think you missed Cat of the RG, she's sitting there with us ;) ))

[andymy]

((Estelle* (Gerbera) i'll met her later ;) i don't know yet who is on our boat... or who is not.. I lived in a room for a month ??? and all I did was painting.. i felt some canon balls in the ship but I remained there so.. I'll let you introduce the people to me :D))

[Gerbera]

Zane had just asked the woman from the Galleon for her name, when the door opened again with a loud PANG

Everybody in the room looked up when Gil entered it. Estelle was really surprised to see her again, is seemed like she hadn't seen that girl for weeks. Laughing a little about the pompous entrance, she said to Zane "Who would have thought that she'd turn up here?!"

Gil had spotted them and walked over to their table. "OH! Estelle and Zane!! How my mates doing?" She grabbed a chair and immediately started to speak again.
"How are you guys... How long did I was in that room ?? I just lost days, hours and so and so . . .It seems that painting is my life... Anyway . . Estelle is it me or you just got a little fat ?? Damn girl how much do you eat . . . -_- we really need to do some training on the ship"

When she heard these words, Estelle's cheeks became red once more and she felt embarrassed. "I'm not eating too much ..." she moaned.
And then, to distract Gil from the topic of her body, she said "Gil, this is ..." and to the other woman "What is your name actually?"

[andymy]

((damn... I was hoping to read ... you know.. the part I don't know...well gil dosen't knows... it would had been a fun thing :D) but i'm still waiting))

[Gerbera]

((*lol* I can understand you ... But Estelle wouldn't talk about her being pregnant in front of rival pirates ;) And, noone except for Menyw and her knows it at this point so she will not tell anyone else until she has spoken to Menyw again. ))

[Vicci]

((Stay dev, it'll be nice to have you! It doesn't matter that both Wills are there. ^_^))

[Haylifer]

A big brown boot narrowly missed Mickey's head; suddenly the sprite realised that he was in grave danger of being trampled to death. Sure, he couldn't die, but he didn't like the idea of his face being mashed up by burly men's stinking feet..

The next instant, he was being pulled to his feet and away from the danger-zone by Will. Once out of danger of being stomped on, Mickey turned to the pirate a little surprised that the guy whos greatest ambition was to be an escape artist had actually got stuck in to help him.

“I don’t suppose you’d give me a second chance to show ya I’m worthy to fight by your side aye?” said Will with a wink.

Mickey grinned; he couldn't recall why Will would need a second chance to fight by his side, at present - all he made out in the sentence was "Fight, aye?". As any pirate would respond to that question, Mickey drew his cutlass and gave a highly enthusiastic "Aye!"

((OOC: Not feeling creative.. sorry for the short RP))

[starphyre77_SC]

((123, I think you missed that Lunarsea wants to play in Palms Bar))
---------

"Not at all, sit down please. I am Estelle, and this is Zane,” she said, pointing to the man. “You're from the Galleon, right?!"

I nodded as I took a seat, and then Zane smiled and said, "Sorry I didn't catch your name."

I was about to introduce myself, but I was suddenly distracted by the loud entrance of another pirate. Turning around I saw that it was Gil; she immediately came over to the table, and started to ramble on to Estelle*.

Oddly enough as Gil spoke, Estelle* seemed to be getting a little uncomfortable. When she had a chance to speak she didn’t really respond to what Gil had said. "Gil, this is ..." Estelle* started, but then she turned to me and said, "What is your name actually?"

“I’m Cat,” I said and with a slight chuckle I turned to Gil and added, “And we’ve actually met once, though it was briefly and a while ago, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t remember me. I am from the Galleon.” Then keeping my voice calm and casual, I addressed everyone at the table, “I wonder if we could discuss the Oracle. I was thinking that it would be so much easier to fight them if they weren’t undead. Wouldn’t you agree?” I paused at that point, and looked at the others; trying to gauge their reaction.

[MagicBeans]

So close...my God it was so close. I watched as Dementia retrieved the dagger from underneath her skirt...showing just a hint of her inner thigh as she did. The distraction...oh the distraction. My eyes met hers and...

Oh I knew that look very well. I turned towards the man that threw the dagger, popped him in the jaw, grabbed him by both arms and escorted him to Dementia. "Here you are darling. A gift." She looked at me with a blank expression. "Dagger thrower love." The look on her face as she realized who it was, was enough to make me jump back, giving her room to scold him as she saw fit. "Good luck bugger!"

From across the room, I saw two pirates that I recognized...but from where? They were standing side by side, grunting to each other and yelling about fighting. One raised his cutlass and yelled "Aye!". Ah. Oracle pirates. I had no interest in fighting the pirates that we seemed to fight on a weekly basis as it...

My thought was ever so rudely interrupted by someone hitting me on the back with a chair. I stumbled forward, catching myself on a table. Through the slat I could see something .. brown. Soft? Gold and shiny? Mona.

"What are you doing hiding under here dear?"

"I was," she said slightly out of breath "standing up, trying to catch my breath but..." she pointed to some of the fighting men "...and then" she pointed to the table.

My eyes darted to her bloodied dagger. "Nice. I'd hate to see the other guy" I gave her a reassuring grin just as I felt the tap on my shoulder. Even I knew better than to turn around for such a trick. I looked at Mona who nodded in agreement. "And how many?"

She held up one finger.

"My height?"

"An inch or two taller maybe."

"You're a dear." I grinned at her. "This way I know where to punch when I..." He grunted loudly as my hidden cutlass shot out from in between my arm and body, stabbing him in his stomach. "...fake him out." I winked at Mona and turned to remove my cutlass from his innards, pushing him over as I did.

And then there were two of them, swords drawn. "Excellent! More dancing!" The sounds of swords clashing was music to my ears. I held my left hand behind my back as I fought with my right. "You know gentlemen, my father..." I pushed forward "...is an expert swordsman and he taught me..." I pushed forward again. "...everything he..." One more push forward. "...knows". I laughed to myself as they both fell backwards over the table I had pushed them into. "Including that trick"

---
((Bad ending for a post, but I have to stop typing :( ))

[Gerbera]

The Galleon Pirate had finally told them her name, Cat. She seemed to know Gil, but Estelle could tell that Gil didn't remember Cat by the look on her face.

Quietly Cat said “I wonder if we could discuss the Oracle. I was thinking that it would be so much easier to fight them if they weren’t undead. Wouldn’t you agree?” and looked expectantly at the other three.

Estelle was stunned. Was Cat suggesting an alliance against the Oracle? That would actually be helpful ...
Nobody had replied to what Cat has said so far, but Zane looked as is he was thinking hard.
She decided to finally say something. "So ... Yes, you are right, it would indeed be easier. But do you know a way ... to make them alive or at least more vulnerable again?"

[WooHoo]

((I want to go to Madame Linda's... but I worry that me being so inactive will keep me from successfully doing this bonus thingy. So, if being online once a day is enough to play, put me there. If not, then I'll sit this out.))

[XsnowdropX]

((sorry ahead of time, I think this is gonna be kinda long>.<))

Still gasping for breath, I looked around, taking in the massive brawl that had managed to engulf the entire bar. There seemed to be not a single person not involved. "Pirates..." I muttered inaudibaly, my lips curling into a slight smile.

I took a step back as two fighting men suddenly seemed to fly my way, not wanting to find myself in the middle of them, and slipped on a stray knife laying on the ground. I found myself flat on my back.

The floor? Why am I on the floor again? Cant I just stay on my feet? I rolled over, about to stand up again when I noticed two enormous boots only feet away, about to trample me. I had no time to stand and move, so I rolled over one more time, getting out of the way at the exact moment the menacing feet passed by.

Hahaaaa, I thought victoriously as they sped away, Oh yes what now? I am unsquished. Watcha gonna do huh? I stood swiftly up, my head meeting the bottom of.....something. I was laying down again, panicking slightly. What the....what..... The ceiling.....got lower? I looked up at a series of wooden slats. Ohh a table. Its just a table....

A thud above my head on the surface of the table distracted my thoughts, I looked up to see Menyw peering down at me from a little gap in the table.

"What are you doing hiding under here dear?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but speaking proved a but difficult as I was still reeling from the painful kick in my stomach.

"I was, standing up, trying to catch my breath but..." I broke off, deciding to simply point at the two who caused me to trip "...and then" I pointed at the table, hoping Menyw understood what I was trying to say, for the most part.

"Nice. I'd hate to see the other guy". I blinked, confused, but then noticed he was looking at the dagger I had used to stab the other man in the ankle, which I still have clutched tightly in my hand. I smiled, then nodded as he gave me a look that seemed to question whether or not there was someone behind him. After answering a few questions, I watched him turn around and stab the man before leaving to engage with two others.

I rolled from my back to my stomach, intent on crawling out from under the table. I had only made it a couple inches, however, before I was suddenly sprayed with something. I grimaced as the spray made it into my mouth, it seemed to be....blood? Eww what the.....

I looked to my left, making out an arm that ended at the wrist. I sighed, rolling on my back again. Someone else was now sitting on the table, though he was missing a hand and, I noticed, the other arm was severed a little above the elbow. Ouch.

I thought for a second, I had no reason to kill this guy. I saw no reason in killing someone just because he happened to be in top of the table I was laying under but.... My eyes traveled from one arm to the other before pulling out my sword, might as well put the poor guy out of his misery.

I drive the blade through his back through the small gap Menyw and I had our short exchange through. He fell still, dead, and I pulled my sword out. Now, I can leave. I rolled over for what I was sure to be the final time, but once again I barely moved before something stopped me.

The legs on the table suddenly started splintering, and only a second later the table started to collapse right on top of me.

Hoooly shit the tables trying to kill me! I dropped flat on my stomach, cursing the table for hating me so much, apparently I was never meant to crawl out from under it. Damn giant boots.....

The crushing sensation I was expecting never came, however. But I looked up to see that it was very close, just about two inches....

Figuring I should leave ebfore it starts falling again, I started to crawl out through the side, but another pair of giants boots stopped me. Other side then. Muttering about huge boots, I started for the opposite side, to my right, and was stopped by....what? My mind was wracked with confusion. More boots? I glanced at the other side, they were still there, and so were they.

The boots....ohhh my god the boots...

I felt something grab my ankle, interupting my immense confusion, and start pulling me out from under the table. I reached my arms out, scrambling for my sword, grabbing it just in time as I continued to move from beneath the table. Hahaaa, I thought as I emerged from under it just in time as it collapsed under the weight of the boots' owners, who were fighting eathother from across the table. I turned around and looked up at what pulled me out, seeing more.....boots.....and above them was another man.

"Now whats a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?" He said, bearing a toothless grin and holding a sword to my throat. I gripped my own sword tightly as he said something about cutting my head off.

Off to my side a bit, I noticed the knife I had slipped over, which got me under that forsaken table to begin with. I grinned at an idea formed. As the man standing above me raised his sword, I reached for the knife, blocked the blow with my sword and flung the kinfe into his neck.

Hahaha bullseye. I rolled over as he fell over nearly on top of me, and stood to my feet, stumbling forward a couple of steps, casting a glare at the collapsed table.

((oops....I got carried away:P. haha

Poor drunk Mona, I thinks shes gonna hate tables for the rest of her life. And boots too...))

[Hamsterball]

"Mickey?" Emeraldia gasped in bewilderment, greeted by his cheery little face. "What... How... Why didn't you-" To her dismay, Mickey was suddenly pulled aside by some pirate she recognized that had been aboard the Jewel before. She found herself once again alone, the brawl growing in size every instant. Emeraldia needed a fighting partner, and desperate times called for desperate measures.

"Mona!" she yelled, watching as the girl single-handedly killed yet another bloody bloke. "I've got your back if you've got mine!" She wasn't able to hear any response, as she suddenly felt her ankle catching on the back of a slab of splintered wood. She fell face-first into a pile of rubble, the pieces of which she recognized as that of a table. As she pulled herself upright, a heavy weight fell onto her back, which, as she attempted to turn over, Emeraldia recognized as the boot of a very dizzy man.

Emeraldia reached down, her shoulders aching, to her own boot and clasped her hand on the handle of a dagger. Just as the boot on her back felt too heavy for her to breathe, she made a slice at the offending ankle. It was not cut completely off, but she dug her knife in deep enough that the drunkard screamed out in pain, falling onto another table that instantly collapsed.

"Well, Mona?" she yelled, hoisting herself back up onto her feet. "Are ye going to help me or not?" She noted another drunk man running at them with a foaming mouth and two daggers. "Now would be a good time to choose."

[Shenanigans_SC]

If I could have grinned any bigger, Mickey’s enthusiastic “Aye!” would have done it. I quickly unsheathed my sword. Wait… this isn’t mine. This is Cat’s! I made a mental note to give it back to her once I see her again. No matter, a sword is a sword right? I looked around the room wondering where I should dive in at. So many bodies, I think everyone was fighting just for sake of fighting. Aye… Good times!

That’s when I spotted a large burley man coming at me from the corner of my eye. I held my stance till just the right time, then I dropped down to a kneeling position sending him tumbling head over foot. Apparently he had a buddy that wasn’t too impressed with my maneuver and took it upon himself to tell me so. He charged at me with his sword drawn, drool running down his chin. I met his swing with a block. Over and over our swords collided; finally he grasped his hilt with both of his hands and gave the opportunity to slice him across his belly. I figured he’d double over in pain, but he didn’t even flinch!

I quickly dropped to the ground and rolled off to my side, his sword coming down just an inch from my head. Since I was on the ground I kicked his shin with the heel of my right boot. He looked at me and laughed. That’s when I finally noticed he hadn’t a foot on that leg, hell, he had a wooden leg! He showed his large toothless grin to me and readied his sword once again. Not knowing where I was a rolled over backwards to miss his swing. As I came to my feet, the ground felt different beneath my feet. Dirt? What the?? I had rolled myself right on out of the bar! I quickly looked up to see if the man was going to come after me anyway, just to see him sprawled on the floor and a smiling Mickey standing behind him. I nodded my thanks to the sprite and he quickly turned around heading back into the bar.

I stood for just a minute, deciding if I wanted to reenter the massive brawl. Just then a body flew between the doors, hitting me square in the chest, knocking me to the ground. Pushing the body off of me I decided that perhaps I wasn’t supposed to be there tonight. Perhaps I should be trying my luck somewhere else. That’s when I recalled a spot I had passed on my way here. I headed off to A Pirates Luck.

((OOC: Sorry Haylifer, I know I kind of dragged you into fighting, and now Will is leaving. Lol I just figured 123 would be posting our mini games soon.))

[XsnowdropX]

((haha I cant refuse >.< *ignores Monas complaining*))

I hadnt gone two steps before I heard somebody calling my name. I turned around, seeing Emeraldia looking at me. "I've got your back if you've got mine!" She said. She...wanted me to help her?

My puzzlement mounted. First murderous boots, then killer tables, now Emeraldia wants my help?

Ehh...why not. I dont seem to be doing so well alone either.

I was about to reply when I felt somebody grab my from behind. Gahh....again? I managed to wriggle one arm free and turned around, plundging my sword into his gut.

"Byebye!" I said, smiling as he fell to the floor clutching the wound. I turned to Emeraldia, who was just getting to her feet after dealing with somebody herself.

"Well, Mona? Are ye going to help me or not?" her eyes fell on some drunk lunatic running at us dearing two daggers. "Now would be a good time to choose."

I was silent for a second. "Alright." I said, pulling off an awkwardly friendly smile, the friendliest smile one can pull off at someone who previously tried to kill them a few times and was now asking for help anyway.

^ Yep, but again you can go anywhere you want. You don't have to stay at the bar the entire time, you can leave and come back when I post the mini game thingy. (just incase you/someone else didn't know lol)

[Hamsterball]

"Alright."

Emeraldia watched as Mona made some sort of facial expression that she supposed was mean to be a smile, although it came out as more of a grimace. She chuckled in response and locked blades with the drunkard charging at them, watching as Mona quickly did the same. With their combined force they were able to overpower him, slamming him backwards into a table. It promptly collapsed under his weight and they left him sprawled there, slurring something about rum.

"Good work there, lassy," Emeraldia gave her a genuine smile. "Yer alright for a pest." She winked and charged at another person from the back, knocking the forward into a barrel of rum. They started sputtering and coughing up liquids when they resurfaced, and with a fearful dread she recognized the person as...

((Anyone is welcome to pick up here. :)))

[starphyre77_SC]

My words were greeted with silence; Estelle* looked surprised, Zane appeared to be deep in thought, his expression unreadable, and Gil…well she didn’t seem to have any idea what I was talking about.

Then Estelle* broke the silence and said, "So ... Yes, you are right, it would indeed be easier. But do you know a way ... to make them alive or at least more vulnerable again?"

It wasn’t the response I had been hoping for, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected. I just wasn’t sure if she truly didn’t know about the object that would break the curse, or if she was just pretending that she didn’t.

Unfortunately, I’ve never been good with subtlety, so I had to go for a somewhat direct approach. “Actually, there is a way to take away their advantage of immortality, but in order to do so, I need a certain item,” I said, and then I gave them a pointed look and added, “I believe we all know where it is.” I just hope I wasn't too direct, I thought.

Tortuga: Game Play Info

Below is your name (if you signed up) and the location you must go to now, if you already aren't. This will help raise coins/items for your crew. You may win something or just not win anything (not lose anything though).

http://i9.tinypic.com/52pbc54.jpg

Palms Bar

There are eight different pirates from the three crews in the bar. However, I have split everyone into pairs. Each pair will recieve 22 bullets for'ya guns! You will be shooting other pairs, but you must decide how many bullets you want to use on them.

Here is an example of what you need to do:


Pair #1: 10 bullets
Emeraldia/Hamsterball
Captain Abby/NayanRose

Pair #2: 5 bullets
Mickey/Haylifer
Captain Menyw/MagicBeans

Pair #3: 0 bullets
Ewald/Lunarsea
Mona/XsnowdropX

Pair #4: 7 bullets
Dementia/foolinthemoon
Gaema/JamieA


:alarm: Give me that list in 48 - 73 hours


As you can see, if I add up all of the bullets there are 20 in total.
The more bullets you use on the pair, the more you want them to die. Or you may think that the other pairs will not shoot them, so you give them bullets, so they won't win and have the least number of bullets.
There will be 3 rounds, and a pair will be eliminated each round.
The person that gets shot the least will win 3,500 coins for their crew!

Rounds

Round #1: One pair will be eliminated.
Round #2: One pair will be eliminated.
Round #3: Pairs will be broken up. The person that gets shot the least will win coins for their crew.


Your Targets

Pair #1
Emeraldia/Hamsterball
Captain Abby/NayanRose

Pair #2
Mickey/Haylifer
Captain Menyw/MagicBeans

Pair #3
Ewald/Lunarsea
Mona/XsnowdropX

Pair #4
Dementia/foolinthemoon
Gaema/JamieA

Madame Linda's House

Welcome to my home. :) You seven look very tired and hungry!

All seven pirates stepped into the cheery and sparkly looking home. They don't know much about Madame Linda however. Madame Linda is a very curious person and loves to play games. She is infact an ex-pirate and knows how they think. She is always tricking others and always tries to kill other people. She has an affinity to kill pirates and she always gloats about doing so.

As soon as all of the pirates stepped in the dining room she knocked each of them over with an iron kettle. She then stuffed them into the basement where there were rats and fungus all over the floor. Soon they would all wake up.

Get out of the house!

Your job is to get out of that house and to do that you will play a series of games.

Soon to be Dead Pirates
Estelle/Gerbera- 0 Points
Auberon/Nora- 0 Points
Cat/starphyre77- 0 Points
Zarah/(((PANdRitO)))- 0 Points
Captain LaSalle/WooHoo- 0 Points
Gil/Andymy- 0 Points
Zane/SwiftSign- 0 Points

There are exactly 7 pirates locked in her house and seven floors (6 are underground). Each of you must pick one arcade game of your choice. Each of you will battle to get the highest score in each arcade game. The pirate with the highest total number of points in the end will win an item and some coins.

Floors
Floor #1: (Bottom floor)
Floor #2:
Floor #3:
Floor #4:
Floor #5:
Floor #6:
Floor #7: (Top floor)


The arcade I pick is:


:alarm: Pick game in 24 hours

[Gerbera]

(( *gasp* I really shouldn't have picked Madame Linda's :lol:
Question: So we all pick a game and then we all play every game, and in the end the one with the most highscores wins? I just want to be sure I understand tat right ...
Ah, and what do we do about our RPs now? I mean, we were in the middle of it and already sitting at the house, talking, and you wrote that we all got knocked over as soon as we entered the house ... ))

[andymy]

Definatley the Rp's will start again from the deep low of Madame's house :P . . (were are the arcades . . . .)

[123321_SC]

You're right- everyone picks a game and the one with the highest points wins (I will add all the points together each round). I just changed it, so she knocked you over when you entered the Dining Room. When you wake up you should find yourselves and six others in the basement with rats and fungus.

This one isn't as err cheerful, but it does have the most valuable prize(s).

EDIT: Andymy here is the link to the arcades. You can browse around and find one you're pretty good at:

[Gerbera]

(( *lol* Thanks, 123 :D Andy, you find the link to the Arcade on the top of the pages, between "donate" and "yearbook" :) ))

((edit: Now a short RP to catch up with the gameplay post ))

“Actually, there is a way to take away their advantage of immortality, but in order to do so, I need a certain item,” Cat said, “I believe we all know where it is.”

"Oh .. right." Estelle felt very stupid now. "Mona ... and her coin ... Uhm ... That's actually something that should be discussed with the Captain ..." she threw a helpless look at Zane.
"Why don't we all go over there" - she pointed an other, seperate room - "and have some dinner. Since the Captain is not here, we can discuss this topic ... But if we don't eat anything now, Gil will starve, I fear!" she said with a grin.

They all stood up and walked to the other room. When Estelle entered, she suddenly felt a big pain on the back of her head and then everything went dark ...

[SwiftSign_SC]

((DAMMIT

pffft last time Zane follows estelle*

*roams the arcade for a good one*))

[foolinthemoon]

((Guinea Pig, yay!))Menyw gave Dementia a grin and disappeared, reappearing moments later with a pirate, his arms locked around his own so that he wouldn't get away. "Here you are darling. A gift." She blinked at him, a gift?"Dagger thrower love." Her eyes widened with fury as realization came to her and she reached back hard to punch him in the jawline just as Menyw left him with a "Good luck bugger!"

She commenced to beat the man senseless cursing him for his stupidity and thanking him for his lousy aim. It wasn't until he was blue and swollen that she began using her daggers, slicing at him while he fought for his life. She was about tired of playing with him when she got ready to thrust him a final time to get it over with and make him stop whining when a foot to her back caused her to topple over into a barrel full of rum, when she finally emerged, her nose and eyes burned while her hair dripped. She turned to see who's ass she'd be kicking next when she saw a shocked Emeraldia. She flipped the hair out of her face looking at her now soaked dress and blinked, "Please tell me that was an accident."

((short, kinda blah, have to leave for work))

[Gerbera]

((Ah, I'm sorry Swift :/ I'd have preferred an other game as well ;) But I really think this can be fun!

123, one more question: Will only the points we received after the gameplay has started be counted? Because, before this RP, I have never played an Arcade game and thus have very little points in the Arcade ... ))

[Vicci]

Ceryni was sat nursing his battle wounds along side Marius at the edge of the pub away from the fight. Nursing being a mild term, considering he could heal himself, but he just found this battle so pointless, they'd already fought the Jewel and Galleon not long ago!

Seeing Will leave the Bar, Ceryni thought it a sensible idea and tugged onto Marius to follow. They decided to follow Will for nothing better to do and out of interest. Soon they ended up at A Pirate's Luck and decided to enter, finding Will and Mack already there. There were 3 other seats around a table which had a pile of cards in the middle. Ceryni and Marius took two seats next to each other, deciding they would play. A few seconds later Pretty Will entered. Ceryni remembered him being in the Bar. Looks like we weren't the only ones to follow.

[123321_SC]

Gerbera: Yep, I have to wait for the other six to tell me and then you'll start playing. Since you turned yours in first, we will play yours first.

Here gose mine :) MAHJONG (http://forums.sims2community.com/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=46)

[Lunarsea]

(((Just to clarify 123, we don't want to shoot people in our own crew do we? :P
With this game does the crew with the most members would have an advantage?
For example:
The CJ:
1 Captain Menyw/MagicBeans - 20 Bullets
2 Gaema/JamieA - 20 Bullets
3 Mona/SnowdropX - 20 Bullets
4 Emeraldia/Hamsterball - 20 Bullets
5 Dementia/Foolinthemoon - 20 Bullets
20 x 5 = 100 Bullets

The Oracle of the West
1 Mickey/Haylifer - 20 Bullets
20 x 1 = 20

The Royal Galleon
1 Captain Abby/NayanRose - 20 Bullets
2 Ewald/Lunarsea (:D) - 20 Bullets
20 x 2 = 40

The Jewel has 100 bullets between them but the Oracle has only 20 and the Galleon only slightly better off with 40 - realistically what's the likelihood of the Oracle or the Galleon winning this particular game? I'm assuming that there must be some sort of secret to it? :D

Also a question about the Madam Linda's house game: Do the losing pirates die? :(
Cheers 123. :))))

[Gerbera]

((123, may I change my choice? I just realized that you can not get more than 211 points in this game I chose :/ Sorry, I am a bit thick today ... ))

[123321_SC]

Andymy: Thanks for telling me so quickly! :)
Lunarsea: You can shoot people in your own crew and you're right the crew with the most people in the bar does have an advantage. I've thought about that, and I know it's a bit unfair to the other crews.

To make it a bit more fair I will change it. Check back at the original Tortuga Gameplay post in a little bit and there will be new info to help even it out a little.

And nobody will die at Madame Linda's house. That's just to scare people lol. When they die they just lose.
Gerbera: Yep, you can change it- that is fine! :)

[Hamsterball]

... Dementia!

"Please tell me that was an accident."

Emeraldia swallowed hard, holding back her giggles.

"Sorry 'bout that," Emeraldia allowed a small chuckle to escape from her lips. "Thought you were... Someone else." She held out a hand to Dementia, who was now frowning at her ruined dress. "Here, how 'bout we just get you some-"

Emeraldia was suddenly cut off by the sound of a gunshot. The room was suddenly silent, and every head turned towards the source of the noise. One of the burly drunkards had a small spot of blood on his chest, near the place where his heart would be. With a quick and rather disgusting jerk of his head, he fell to the floor. Dead.

All around other pirates were working quickly, withdrawing their own pistols and pointing them at one another. Emeraldia quickly helped Dementia out of the rum barrel and took slow steps towards the door, hoping maybe she would be able to escape the gunfire. Unfortunately, before she could push open the doors, a wild flurry of gunfire burst into sound around the room. Emeraldia, of course, was unphased - a bullet would just cause her momentary pain. But the rest of her crew was in danger, and she had to protect them. The question was, which crew would she protect?

[Lunarsea]

(((Lol! :lol: Thanks for changing the play slightly 123 :) I was feeling really sorry for Haylifer being all on his own :P I assume that we need to discuss with our team mate who we use our bullets on? Suffering from lack of sleep right now so my brain isn't working properly. :D))

[devoshka]

((Ack I'm sooo confused now...sorry :P So I'm doing black jack, but does that mean i have to pick 2 cards between 1-70, or choose a mini arcade game to play. I'm sorry but I can be slow sometimes. ))
----------------------------------------------

Pretty Will needed to get off the ship filled with the undead. He couldn't stand it anymore, the stench and rotting flesh was starting to get to him. As soon as they made port in Tortuga, he made for the gangplank. As soon as it touched the dock, he was the first one off the ship. After going a few feet Pretty Will turned back around to see if anyone would apprehend him to try and prevent him from exploring the port. But it seemed like he wasn't the only one anxious to be here. Feeling more at ease and less like a captive, Pretty Will slowed his gait to a stroll and took in the sights. He had heard much of Tortuga but in spite of all his years on the sea he had never set foot here. It was a legendary port, a haven for pirates. As he neared the end of the dock, he ran his eyes back over all the ships that had come in. His eyes caressed each ship with longing until they came to rest on one that was as familiar to him as the back of his own hand. The Jewel. She had come to Tortuga as well. Pretty Will's eyes widened. Maybe there's a chance I can escape and go back to my ship, just as they leave port! But I must first act as if I am enjoying it here, and love my new crewmates......

Pretty Will started to wander around the alleys, eyes taking in all the pirates that were enjoying all that Tortuga had to offer. The rum flowing freely, the games, the fights, and of course the ladies of the night. Will's feet had a mind of their own and followed their own course. When Will finally came to a halt he glanced up to see where he had come to rest. "A Pirate's Luck", he read aloud. Seems a good place as any to stop for a bit. As he walked in, he stifled a groan. It seems that some fellow shipmates liked the sound of the place as well. Well, I guess I'll just have to give the performance of a lifetime, I guess. Pretty Will proceeded inside and sat down at one of the tables. "So what's the game we playing here?" dropping a small pouch filled with coins onto the table.

devoshka: Well your name is under A Pirate's Luck, so you will only be doing anything under that. The arcade thing is for the people who signed up to go to Madame Linda's House.
Magic: To make it simple, you and your partner have 20 bullets and want to shoot the other pairs. The more bullets you shoot at them, the more you want them to lose. So, in the end the pair that gets shot the least will win the coins (after the 3 rounds).

Thanks Gerbera & Pandrito! :)

[Shenanigans_SC]

((OOC: 123, I hope it's okay that I put there was a dealer there. I couldn't see us playing without one.))

As I entered A Pirate’s Luck, I saw my old shipmate Mack. I gave him a wave and made my way over to the table he was sitting at, which had four more chairs around it. I was about to start up a conversation but Ceryni and Marius had come through the door before I got the opportunity. “Ahoy!” I called to them as they entered and made their way over to us. Not much longer and one of the Oracle’s newest prisoners entered too. Now with the table full, we were ready to play. I patted my coin sack, making a delightful jingle sound. I was planning on winning a bit of money.

Just as the dealer walked over to our table Pretty Will asked, "So what's the game we playing here?"
“I rather fancy the game of Black Jack.” I said eyeing the dealer. He gave me a nod and picked up the deck of cards. As the rhythmic sound of cards shuffling got started I turned my attention to Pretty Will. "You come from the Jewel right?"

[123321_SC]

Yep that is fine Shenanigans- you can really do anything you want with it rp-wise.

[MagicBeans]

Magic: To make it simple, you and your partner have 20 bullets and want to shoot the other pairs. The more bullets you shoot at them, the more you want them to lose. So, in the end the pair that gets shot the least will win the coins (after the 3 rounds).

But...each of the pairs has someone from my crew. Why would i want them to lose? I'm still not getting it.

[123321_SC]

Well, you wouldn't want them to lose- but they might have to depending on who you and your partner decides to shoot at. Really, as long as someone in your crew wins it's all good (at least for TCJ).

Umm another way to describe it is sticking knifes into someones back. The more you stick knifes into their backs the more they will suffer, right?

So you have 20 knifes and have to do something with them lol

[Pandrito]

The first thing I noticed in the village was a nice colorful house. It seemed to be a nice place, so I walked to the front door and knocked, but the door was already opened, so I stepped in, and walked through the beautiful entrance. There I found some pirates of the other ships, Cat was among them.
We decided to look for the owner of the house, and as soon as I stepped in the dinning room something knocked me out. The last thing I remeber was feeling someone pushing me as I felt on the wooden floor....

Some hours later I woke up inside a dark and stinky room. I could hear the rats scartching the old walls. I tried to stand up, but I felt dizzy, so I extended my arm, and seconds later I found myself hanging from another pirate.

"Oh .. right. Mona ... and her coin ...” Estelle* said, but then she started to look a little uncertain and added, “Uhm ... That's actually something that should be discussed with the Captain ..."

Even though I wanted to press her for more information, I knew that doing so would only arouse her suspicion. So, I merely nodded in understanding, and followed them into the dining room. Unfortunately, I hadn’t gone far before I felt something heavy connect with the back of my head.

I awoke to find myself captured…yet again, and I was less than happy. First kidnapped by the Jewel, and then captured on the Oracle and now this… “Am I wearing a sign that says ‘capture me’?!” I said in frustration.

I stared at the door for a moment, considering how effective it might be to try to break it down, but then I was distracted from the door when I suddenly found Zarah hanging on me. I wasn’t even aware that there was anyone else in the room, so I was a little embarrassed when I looked around and also saw Estelle*, Zane, and Gil on one side of the room, and on the other side was another man and woman. The latter of whom I thought I recognized as Oracle crew.

As I helped Zarah regain her balance, I lowered my voice so that only she could hear me and said, “Say nothing of Will.” I could only hope she’d understand that I didn’t want those from the Oracle to know I was trying to free Will, and I didn’t want those from the Jewel to think I was sided with the Oracle.

(( *lol* Love your siggy as well, Magic :D But I can't join the club, might look as if I am biased in my contest otherwise :err:

Estelle woke up in a dark room, her head aching terribly. She opened her eyes and looked around, and saw that all other pirates who had been in the bar room together with her had been captured as well.
Most of them seemed to be unconcious, but Cat and someone from the Oracle were awake.
"Does anyone know what has happened to us?" Estelle asked, when Zane began to stir and let out a loud moan.

:alarm: You may start to play the game Sonic 12 A.M. PST. You will have 24 hours to play. Remember, you do not want the lowest score. If someone does not play the game in 24 hours, that person will be auto-eliminated and the person with the lowest score will be saved. If you have any questions please ask. :)



well how will we tell you wich score is the one??? I understand that we can play Sonic . . . but if we submit a score and after a few hours we beat that score . . wich one will be the correct one . . .?? i'm a litlle in the air . . .:|

"You come from the Jewel right?" Pretty Will looked over and his breath caught in his throat. Next to him sat the handsome blonde Will, whom Pretty Will had noticed on the Oracle. When he had sat down to play he hadn't really paid attention to his co-gamblers, and now he wished he had. "Yeah but good riddance eh? Too much drama on that ship for my taste", he laughed with forced gaiety. "I'm all about the rum and treasure. Don't need no ship full of dames to complicate matters. I like to buy mine in port, then if they get too demanding I just sail away on the next tide."

Turning back to the game at hand, Pretty Will took out some gold coins and placed them in the center of the table and watched as the cards were dealt. Looking at his, Will sighed slightly. Need to increase my fortunes, and hopefully Lady Luck is with me tonight. He glanced at Will out of the corner of his eyes. Deciding something Pretty Will lifted his handed and bellowed, "Rum for everyone at the table!"

[andymy]

Gerbera that's . . . WOW. . I'll never beat that score :|

EDIT: ::Trying to run like Sonic::

[123321_SC]

^ Well, technically you don't need to beat it. You just have to beat the lowest score to continue to the next round.

[Gerbera]

(( Oh ... Does that mean every round the player with the lowest score will get eleminated and only the others move on to the next round?! :doh Didn't realize that until now ... :dolt:

[Shenanigans_SC]

"Yeah but good riddance eh?” Pretty Will had answered. “Too much drama on that ship for my taste", he continued with a laugh. One of my eyebrows raised up. He continued on about rum, treasure and dames. I let out a laugh. The dealer laid two cards before me. I quickly scanned the cards that laid on the table and then peeked at my own. Hmm, lady luck wasn’t smiling on me, but she wasn’t frowning on me either. I picked up a handful of coins and threw them in the center pot.
That’s when Pretty Will yelled out, "Rum for everyone at the table!” I leaned back in my chair. “Celebratin your winnings already aye?” He smiled back at me. For some reason I was drawn to this particular pirate, there was something different about him, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. “So, let me ask ya, what would you say is the most valuable thing on the Jewel?”

[WooHoo]

((I'm the new Sonic Champion!

And just earlier, I thought I was going to have the lowest score and be eliminated...))

[redwing_SC]

As the cards were being dealt, Mack was thinking, "Modesty is next to godliness."

[starphyre77_SC]

"Does anyone know what has happened to us?" Estelle* asked.

“Yeah,” I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration. “We were lulled into a false sense of security, and then we walked right into a trap.” The situation didn’t look good, and in my desperation I even briefly wondered if we could use the woman from the Oracle as a battering ram. She's undead so there'd be no lasting harm..., I thought, but I quickly dismissed the idea as too ridiculous. I wasn’t the least bit surprised to find that my sword was gone, as was the ubiquitous boot dagger, but with any luck… “Anyone have any hidden weapons that our ‘host’ managed to miss?”

[Shenanigans_SC]

((OOC: Aww man! That's what I get for being too lose with my money. I thought it was the cards that would eliminate ya, not how much money ya have. Oh well... that'll teach me to read better! ))

Before Pretty Will could answer my question it was time to turn over our cards. I grinned when I saw others with lesser cards than I, but alas I was leaving the table after only one hand. I stood, patted Marius on the back to show my support and asked Pretty Will if he’d like to join me for a drink. This one would be on me.

We walked over a few yards to the surprisingly empty bar in the building. I flagged down the bartender, placed my order and waited for the other Will to do the same. While we waited for our drinks I attempted once again to make small talk. “The Galleon’s got pancakes, the Oracle a wild little monkey. Do tell what the Jewel has?”

[123321_SC]

123: Re Pirate's Luck: Does "too poor" mean a player is out of this contest?

Yep, too poor means they are out of A Pirate's Luck. Sorry devoshka and Shenanigans :(

[Gerbera]

So, just to be sure, we can still play Breakout, and already MahJongg? I am confused because of the time zones :(

[TRIriana]

((Ooh, yay! Marius is rich - for now! :lol:.))

[Vicci]

Ceryni put his cards down expecting to lose, when both Will's got up and left the table to get to the bar, not before patting Marius on the back. He waved goodbye to them but he was sure they'd catch up after the game was over. Ceryni followed suite but took Marius's hand and squeezed it whilst congratulating him.

The next cards were drawn and Ceryni took his two. I hope I get to play Marius next round he thought.

(Congrats Tri, and sorry to see you go Shenan and Dev. I thought I was gunna lose. :p)

[TRIriana]

Marius broke into a huge smile, and looked so very pleased with his fine self. "I won!" he stage whispered to Ceryni. "I'm rich!" He sounded so completely delighted, it would be hard to hold bad feelings over his very good hand! And then he added happily. "I've never won anything before..."

It touched his heart, so it did, that he could win a game he hadn't tried his hand at in many a year. Naturally there were other rounds to play...and anything could happen...but he was content to bask in his current glory for a few minutes longer.

[123321_SC]

So, just to be sure, we can still play Breakout, and already MahJongg? I am confused because of the time zones :(

Yep you can. Everyone has 10 more hours after I post this post to play Breakout. You have 16 hours to play Mahjong. Sorry if it seems so fast you guys, but remember I am leaving for a week and a half this thursday! So I really want to post who wins what before then.

[devoshka]

When the cards where shown, Pretty Will's heart dropped. He had just blown half of his savings on a stupid card game. Normally Pretty Will didn't go in for these types of things, as it was all based on luck, but he wanted to keep up appearances and in the end got burned. Getting up from the table Will proposed a drink. Wanting to drown his misfortune, Pretty Will agreed.

While waiting for the drinks to be served, Pretty Will looked over at his companion. There was something about this pirate that fascinated Pretty Will, yet he couldn't put his finger on it. “The Galleon’s got pancakes, the Oracle a wild little monkey. Do tell what the Jewel has?”, Will asked. Startled out of his thoughts, Pretty Will laughed under his breath. "I would say the Captain. Let's just say he's got a way about him that endears half the crew members." The rum being set down before them, Pretty Will grabbed his glass and drank down the poison in one go. Banging down the glass and licking his lips, he signaled the barkeep for another. All my plans are falling apart. I'll need to work a few more years in order to get back what I've just lost at the table tonight. Unless I can get back to the Jewel. They seem to have luck finding treasure.

"So tell me fellow crewmate, how did you get caught up in this sea adventure?"

[Gerbera]

I give up on Tontie :cry: This game is impossible when you don't have a number keypad (I have a laptop only).

Wait ... I can't give up, I'm the only one left from my crew ... Noooo :argh:

[Vicci]

The hands were laid down and once again, Ceryni was set to lose. Lady Luck must have been on his and Marius's side because Marius had won again. You could tell he was thrilled so Ceryni ordered some rum from the bar over to the table whilst giving him a "Well done".

Ceryni also said "Well done" to Mack before he left the table and both Ceryni and Marius gladly drank their rum.

"How about a 5 card draw this time?" questioned Ceryni. Marius nodded in agreement and the dealer dealt their cards.

(Yay! Well done again Tri. Lady luck really is on Ceryni's side!)

[MagicBeans]

((Gerbera, just do your best. It's only a game. *hugs* ))

[Vicci]

((Ouch, Tonti must be hard without a num pad. I love the game but can't score past 5,000 even with the num pad!))

[Shenanigans_SC]

As I lifted my drink to my lips, Pretty Will answered my question. "I would say the Captain. Let's just say he's got a way about him that endears half the crew members." Crap. That wasn’t the answer I was looking for. Surely the Jewel’s captain isn’t the gold metal piece needed to break this curse. I smiled to hide my frustration. "So tell me fellow crewmate, how did you get caught up in this sea adventure?"

“Aye, that would be a long story. I’ll try to cut it down for ya. I was caught red handed helping myself to some of the captain’s finest rum. The scallywag threw me overboard he did. I managed to make my way to a little island. That’s where the captain from The Galleon found me and brought me on board. Soon after Marius,” I paused looking over to the table we had been sitting at. Marius was pulling the pile of gold coins closer to him. That lucky son of a…. “He and I had a run in, of which he won, and I found myself on The Oracle.” I took another drink. “So that’s my story… At first I wasn’t too thrilled with being taken from The Galleon crew, I quite fancy one of them in particular." I said with a wink. "But I’m searchin for something, and have to accept my situation. How ‘bout you mate? Is the sea the place for you, or is there someplace else you’d rather be?”

[MagicBeans]

A Pirate's Luck

This game is not finished, so I will have to post results when I get back. I am going to let you hit two more cards to replace two of your current cards. Just PM me and I will tell you what they are when you come back, however you need to post your bet beforehand.

I would like to let you know that straight flushes will not be allowed, because the suit is NOT random. You get a Hearts suit if you pick first. However, everything else will count. The farther down the list you get, the more likely you will win. You will not win your money if you lose, and you win this round by getting the best hand.

Ceryni/Vicci- 700 Coins- In the finals
Marius/TRIriana: 3500 Coins- In the finals

:alarm: Jackpot: 3000 Coins

One pair – Hand that includes one pair of cards with the same value, not suite. For example two queens.
Two pairs – Same as with one pair only double. A hand that involves one pair, another pair and an extra unrelated card.
Three of a kind – Exactly as it sounds, three cards of the same value, disregarding the suite and an unrelated card.
Straight – Five cards from any suite in an uninterrupted order by value, for example 9, 10, J, Q, and K. An ace can be both the high card and the low card but he can't be both at the same time, meaning you can't have a hand of J, Q, K, A, 2.
Full House – Full House is simply three of a kind plus one pair.
Four of a Kind– A very rare hand in a game without wildcards. Basically four cards of the same value plus an unrelated one.
Royal Flush– The best hand you can have in poker – a straight flush from the 10 to the ace.

:alarm: Important Notice :alarm:

As you know, I will be leaving tomorrow for 10 days. August 16 - August 26. The Pirate's Luck people should post and/or PM me how much they want to bet- I will post results when I get back home.

What you and your crew should do is decide how to spend your money since everyone is rich now. :) Also, you should RP leaving Tortuga and heading off to the next destination. This contest is coming to a close, so you may want to RP with everyone since you will have an entire 10 days of RPing-only and no gameplay.

The final battle will be posted AFTER I return. Magic (and anyone else that would like to know) YES you may go anywhere on the island. You can go to Starry Beach, Madame Linda's House, go to the motel, ANYTHING.

You guys can RP-leave Tortuga when you are ready. Anyways, I will see you guys on August 26. See you all soon! :wave:

(wow that is ironic Haylifer lol)

[WooHoo]

((Just out of curiosity... how many points did I get?

And wasn't there supposed to be an unpleasant surprise? I mean, I'm totally okay if you decided not to do bad things to me, I just wanna know what it is/was.))

[Pandrito]

"GO EWALD!!! GO CAT!!!"- cheered Zarah's sexy unmaterialized ghost :P

[foolinthemoon]

((WOW! me and Gaema are so totally hated on! We see how ya'll are! :P ))

[123321_SC]

Woohoo you had 559 Points in total. I believe you had the highest scores for two of the rounds, so you got the full 200 points added to your score. And yes there was supposed to be an unpleasant surprise. I was going to eliminate two of you for the tontie round, but I found out that everyone played all of the games before, so I didn't have to eliminate two :)

[WooHoo]

((Didn't I have the highest score on five of them? I know it doesn't actually matter, I was just curious.))

[Gerbera]

((You can check the scores yourself :P But you have won, so does it matter?! I didn't beat your for sure. ))

Inucrazy, 123 (the host) doesn't accept any more applications because this RP is going to end soon.

[WooHoo]

((Okay, so... about all the money we have now.

We've already got a Sturdy Room, a Jar of Dirt and a Parrot. We probably wont win enough to buy a new ship, so that leaves us with buying regular rooms.

I need room name suggestions!))

[devoshka]

Pretty Will's heart dropped slightly when he heard that Will had an interest already. But what does it matter?! The sea and obtaining your own ship is your true love, you don't need any men in your life, they only cause problems! "The sea is my life, now and forever." Pretty Will said in response to Will's question. Reaching for the fresh pint of rum the bartender had set before him, Pretty Will surveyed his surroundings. Tilting his head back and the liquid slid down his throat leaving a burning sensation in it's wake. Before turning back to Will, he signalled for yet another dram of rum. I need to find some way to get back to the Jewel. But it seems like I got a drinking buddy and although he's easy on the eyes, will be a bit of a chink in my plan of escape. "Drink up! We may have lost some of our winnings but we've got enough to keep the rum flowing...", Pretty Will cried cheerfully, clapping his hand on Will's shoulder.


------------------------------------------------
((i know it has ended but umm just wanted to kinda give Will a chance to respond and whatnot :P))

[Shenanigans_SC]

"The sea is my life, now and forever." Pretty Will replied. His face looked a bit different to me, almost like he was hiding something. Before I could think about it too long he ordered another round. "Drink up!" I cautioned myself. I was due to meet Cat before we left port. I didn't want to be too drunk as to not remember what ever it was we would be doing.

I still had no answers regarding the key to breaking the curse. Pretty Will sure as hell wasn't very forthcoming with any possible answers. Damn, this would be so much easier if he was a woman. I raised my mug in gesture to toast, as Pretty Will slammed back his drink I simply held mine. I gave the man a hearty pat on the back before I turned to walk away. "No need for me to drink your pockets dry."

I had decided to take a different approach. I turned to see Ceryni and Marius getting up from the table. I couldn't tell who had come out victorious. As they had feelings for each other I suppose they really don't care who won, as long as it was one of the two of them. I walked up to Ceryni, handing him the mug of rum in my hand. I thought to ask how he did at the card game, but decided to not waste my time with small talk that I really didn't care about. He smiled as he took the mug from me, I asked quietly if I could have a moment with him.

We sat at a table in a corner of the room. I wasn't sure how to approach the subject with him. Finally I figured I'd just be blunt. "Since I am now fully part of the Oracle, I'd like to know it's story." Ceryni raised an eyebrow as to ask what I was talking about. "I've heard of a curse, and thought if I knew the story perhaps I could be of better use."

[Vicci]

"Since I am now fully part of the Oracle, I'd like to know it's story. I've heard of a curse, and thought if I knew the story perhaps I could be of better use."

Ceryni laughed at Will. "Better use once you know about the curse? The main thing is the fact that you're undead, so once you got a sword in ya, you just heal straight away. That's the use. And a useful use at that. Well, for battle anyway, and for those who fear growing old, I guess." Ceryni laughed again, probably from the euphoria of the card game and the strange questions Will came up with. Oh well, free rum atleast. Will laughed along side Ceryni, although it seemed more out of politeness than of amusement.

"Well, obviously, but how did the curse come about? I mean, it's not like some witch came and put it upon the ship because she was in a bad mood?" Will questioned again. This put weird images in Ceryni's head. Mmm, rum and adrenaline, what a nice combination, oh right the question.

"Well, there were these coins, and the Oracle took them to sell, proper nice and expensive, it made a good booty. But they turned out to be cursed, by a witch who was in a bad mood." Ceryni made a point to look at Will at this moment. "So, basically, we went high and low retrieving back the coins and we got them all - except one. It's currently residing on the Jewel, around the little scrawny girl’s neck. I mean, she's not even a pirate so what is she doing aboard the Jewel in the first place!"

Will looked thoughtful but alas, had more questions. "What happens when you get the coin back? The curse lifts?"

"Something like that. We're not sure, exactly, but obviously top of the list is to get the coin every time we encounter the Jewel. Oh, believe me, we've tried. And twice, maybe more we've actually had our hands on it but they managed to get it back! It's so close, yet so far." Why does Will want to know so much? Is he thinking of breaking the curse? We don't even know if it's possible..

"Would you like to.. be living again one day?" Will questioned, also confirming part of Ceryni's suspicions.

"Maybe. There's a lot to win and a lot to lose with being undead. We get the great healing thing, we get to sail forever, the reputation, and well.. some things I wouldn't mind staying with forever." Ceryni glanced at Marius waiting for him at the bar. Would he be one of those things? It's been such a short time yet it's felt like.. well, forever. "Then again, it might be nice to live, but really, there's not much difference once you're aboard. It doesn't really affect you much, I feel. I like the Oracle anyway, it's one of the few places I feel at home. You can't really go around much with green skin without something like the Oracle behind you." Ceryni smiled sadly and once again found himself looking at Marius, who was growing increasingly impatient. "I must be off anyway, Marius is waiting for me. We need to celebrate! Thanks for the rum Will, I'm glad you're settling in. If you have any questions come find me on the Oracle. I think we'll be leaving soon anyway."

Ceryni walked over to the bar and linked his fingers inbetween Marius's. He leaned closer and whispered in his ear. "Let go for a nice romantic walk on the beach." Marius scoffed but didn't object when he was being pulled away.

[Shenanigans_SC]

Ceryni stood and took his leave of me. I watched as he walked over to the bar. So a gold coin around a girl’s neck that sails on the Jewel huh? Then my thoughts drifted to the perks Ceryni mentioned. Even I have to admit, being famous for being unkillable is pretty cool. I watched as Ceryni and Marius left the building. Heh, no wonder Ceryni is in no hurry to break the curse. I leaned back in my chair, my thoughts wondering off.

It would not be so pleasant for me. I would have to watch as Cat grew older, I unable to pass the time with her. One day she would be gone and I’d have to live on without her. I told ya nothing good comes from love. Yeah, the stupid voice was right. But Cat, she has so much fire in her. And the way her nose wrinkles when she pouts, she's just… she's Cat. Well, I figure I've learned all I will for now. I decided to head back to Madame Linda’s House and check up on my fiery Cat. It would be good to take in the scent of her hair one more time before heading out.

I stood up from my table, passing Pretty Will on the way out. He looked as if he was deep in thought, or trying not to think, one of the two. I recalled how when I was captured I spent every moment thinking of ways to get back to my old ship. I thought I’d jest with him a bit. “Take it from someone who learned the hard way. The Oracle does not let its prisoners free. The crew be jolly, but the ship be mean tempered.” I gave him a wink and a smile as I walked past. Calling over my shoulder I added a “See ya on ship!”

I stepped out of the building looking down the lane before I turned. I whistled a tune as I walked, my mind drifting towards Cat. I hope she had a good rest at Madame Linda’s.

[Gerbera]

Estelle woke up in a dark corner of the dirty street in front of Madame Linda's house.
She felt awful and wondered what had happened to her and the others. "Zane, Gil, Cat, are you here? Anyone?"

But noone was to be seen.

The woman stood up, feeling weak and wounded. "The last thing I can remember ... We were trying to get out ... But what happened then?"

She decided to go and find the rest of her crew, she wanted to feel safe again.
"They're probably at the bar ..." Estelle thought and walked away from the house of the horrible Madame Linda.

[foolinthemoon]

((so um, should i RP that Dementia's been shot 11 times or what? lol, i mean, back then, if she got shot that much, she'd be dead or severly disabled... or should i just rp that she got shot AT 11 times? or should i pretend she was napping and never left the hotel room? XD))

[starphyre77_SC]

((Foolin, I guess I'd go with the "shot at" route. After all, you were all drunk in the bar... how straight could anyone really shoot? ;) ))
---------

I awoke to find that I had been unceremoniously dumped behind someone’s house. At first, I couldn’t remember what had happened, but as I lay there thinking, it all came back to me – Madame Linda, the basement, the twisted games we were forced to play as we fought for our lives. I quickly stood up which, unfortunately caused my head to spin, so I leaned against the building as I took in my surroundings.

“How’d I get out here?” I mused. The last thing I could recall, I was fighting off some freakishly bizarre bugs. “And where’s everyone else?” I was especially concerned about Zarah, I had lost track of her in there, and I feared the worst.

How am I going to tell Ewald, I thought as I walked down an ally between two houses. When I got to the path, I saw the receding figure of Estelle*, and I was kind of glad to see that she had made it out. I was sort of hoping that she’d be able, and willing, to help convince her captain to give me the coin, but at that point I had more pressing matters to tend to…Zarah.

I knew that Mack had gone to A Pirate’s Luck, so I turned in that direction. To my immense relief, I saw that Zarah had been dropped by a doorstep not two houses down, and I rushed over to her. “Zarah wake up,” I said while shaking her shoulders, and when her eyes fluttered open I asked, “Are you alright?” I didn’t quite catch her response, but aside from being covered with dirt and grime – as I knew I was as well – she didn’t appear to be seriously harmed.

“You look as bad as I feel,” I said as I offered her a hand up. “We’ll have to go to the Motel to clean up, but first we have to warn the others to stay away from there.” I glared at the deceptively innocent looking house, and I suddenly realized that I wanted that woman dead, but I wasn’t foolish enough to try to re-enter her house…especially unarmed… “You think we can take her out with a cannonball when we leave?” I asked, my voice laden with malice.

[andymy]

As Estelle* was walking she saw a body that looked familiar . . . it was Gil . . . she run scared towards that body. Gil's body was on the floor with no pulse, and that means that she was dead. . . . . .

"" Damn body were did they hide you"" sayed Gil spirit "" over here??? nop this is Zane's body . . . "" and like so Gil searched over here and over there but her body . . . "" nop . . ."" then..... "" isn't that Estelle* holding my body??? "" asked Gil . . . then it was silence . . . . . after 30 seconds Gil's spirit sayed "" Like why am I standing here??? of course is my body... but wait a second.... Estelle*, me, and a tiny little guy??? WTF???? . . .Oh yeah time to go back in my body . .. ""

" Oh how you doing girl... :) long time I didn't see you :P " sayed Gil while she was standing in Estelle* arms.......

[SwiftSign_SC]

Zane woke up outside Madam Linda's house, propped up against the wall and not feeling his best. He had had some strange dream about being beaten to death by a giant game of break-out... Must have been the alcohol he thought shrugging off the weirdness of it all.

He looked around him, nobody. He decided it would be best to head back towards ship for the time being, after all soemthing weird was going on in Tortuga. And so he started stumbling off in the vague direction of the Caribbean Jewel.

Taking little care in his drunken steps Zane walked down the street. Not at all suprised to see Gil and Estelle* next to some kinda of bar.

"Hi," he said approaching them out of the darkness, "Back to ship? Any of you have weird dreams?..."

[foolinthemoon]

Dementia twirled around to see a large man holding a gun. She didn't use guns, it was too easy and took the fight out of it. But this man obviously didnt care. Her jaw dropped slightly and she froze in fear. She looked around at her crew mates, and a even a few other pirates that she'd clashed swords with. Her gaze fell back on the man holding the gun when two shots went off and whizzed by her ear, this time from a different direction. She glanced to the left seeing another pirate holding another gun. This, is bad. Dementia always figured her life would end in a fight, but not a BAR fight. Those were usually out of fun for her, not for her life. after a few moments more guns appeared, and she wondered where this small arsenal had come from suddenly. Nevously she tried to map out in her mind where everyone was and where the gun toters were. She looked over to Emeraldia and nodded slightly then looked towards Gaema. She nodded again. There were seven gun men spread through the room as far as she could tell. Now they just had to take them out...

((meh, i'll write more later :P ))

[Shenanigans_SC]

I made my way down the lane between quaint little houses. As I got closer to my destination I began to see people laying about in the alley way, they were dirty and bruised. I didn’t recall seeing them there before, then a few faces looked faintly familiar to me. Why, they were members of the Jewel! My steps quickened as I began to search the faces for Cat. Ah, there she is! I saw her in the distance kneeled down before another woman. Is that Zarah? I quickened to a jog and ran over to the two women. My eyes grew wide as I saw them both. They were covered from head to toe in dirt, both looking as if they had been through hell and back. In my concern I completely bypassed any greetings and just blurted out what was on my mind. “What the hell happened to you two?”

[Pandrito]

"Zarah wake up" said a gentle voice.
I couldn't remeber exactly what happened after we entered into the beautiful dinning room, but I did had some weird memories of feeling really dizzy, and being inside a dark room with other pirates, where a blue porcupine kept running around me, until I was completely alone, surrounded by huge rats that pulled my hair and tried to eat me...
"Are you alright?" I opened my eyes slowly, and I found Cat next to me.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." I said, with a fake grin.
“You look as bad as I feel.” she said.
"And you look as good as me." I said.
“We’ll have to go to the Motel to clean up, but first we have to warn the others to stay away from there.” For a while Cat stared at the house, with a disgruntled face"
“You think we can take her out with a cannonball when we leave?” she said, laden with malice.
"I know the others won't mind" I giggled.
Then I sawWill jogging towards us,
“What the hell happened to you two?” he said.
"Hell happened... And for god's sake, stay away from that house." said Cat.
"Will, we're going to get clean, and then we will look for the rest of the Galleon's crew, come and join us" I said.

[starphyre77_SC]

"I know the others won't mind," Zarah said.

It was then that I saw Will running toward us. Because it was such a short time ago that I had feared that I’d never see him again, part of me wanted him to just hold me and make everything I’d just gone through disappear. However as he drew closer, I noticed his eyes widen. We look that bad? I thought, but before I could say anything, Will asked with evident concern, “What the hell happened to you two?”

"Hell happened...” I said while running my fingers through my hair. I was about to explain further, but my words were cut off by the sharp intake of breath as my hand found the painful lump on the back of my head. I brought my hand down and was relieved to see no blood, and then gently putting my hand back over the lump, I added, “For god's sake, stay away from that house."

[andymy]

(((Gerbera I'm waiting for you'r replay . . :| :-")))

[Gerbera]

((Argh, sorry Andy ... Here goes a crappy RP (sorry, not very much in the mood right now ... ))

As Estelle walked on, she saw someone lying on the street - it was Gil!
She quickly knelt down at the side of her crew mate to feel her pulse. No heartbeats.

"Come on, Gil, you can't be dead! Please!" Of course nothing happened. Estelle felt even more miserable than she did before. "Why ...?!" she whispered, when suddenly the woman stirred and said with a grin " Oh how you doing girl... long time I didn't see you."

She was surprised but happy to see Gil alive and hugged her.

The two women stood up when they heard steps behind them and a familiar voice said "Hi. Back to ship? Any of you have weird dreams?"

Estelle turned around and laughed. "Zane! You're alive!" and hugged the man as well. "Thank god we all made it out of this horrible place ... I wanted to go search for the others before I return to the ship, I think they might be in that bar over there" she said and pointed in the direction of a shabby looking house.

Zane and Gil nodded and so they went over to the house to enter it.

[SwiftSign_SC]

Zane, Gill and Estelle* slowly creeped into what was known as the Palms Bar. As their eyes adjusted to the light in the dingy bar they looked out into the middle - to see Dementia, Gaema and Emeraldia. Tiptoe-ing around the shadows they made their way to a better view. Their crew mates seemed to be trapped, cornered by several armed men.

Zane, out of the sight of the armed men, slowly positioned himself so that he could see Dementia's face, she almost seemed to be smiling despite the obvious disadvantage.

As soon as he caught her gaze he nodded, forming some kind of understanding hoping that the women wouldn't try to take out every single one of the men. And then Zane glanced back to Gil and Estelle*, also nodding in their direction. They would help if they could.

[Vicci]

((Reguarding A Pirate's Luck, I would like to bet all 700 of my coins. :)))

[SwiftSign_SC]

Just a note im away Saturday -> Thurs/Fri. I hope I don't miss the final battle after all this time, its a very annoyingly timed holiday :( Sorry CJers!

[123321_SC]

Hey everyone I am back now, and I will have to catch up when I get back from work (tonight). I will post a quick results and then the FINAL battle.

[foolinthemoon]

Dementia looked around and couldnt' seem to see another option. There were way too many gun men, and she knew they were out numbered. Everything was deathly still and silent until someone shot one of the gun men. The alarm caused a riot of bullets, broken bottles and chairs. People were on their knees crawling in all directions while the drunken gun men shot, mostly in the air and at each other.

Dementia turned to see a gun man behind her, and he smiled and winked before lifting his gun towards her. She snapped around to see a gun man infront of her and in a seconds notice picked up a half full whiskey bottle off a near by table and chunked it at the man infront of her before ducking. A few bullets later she stood back up to see the two dead gunmen lying dead on either side of her. She smirked and muttered something about their stupidity before she found her way out. A back door.
She tried to walk towards it hoping the others would follow when another man pointed another gun at her. The bullet shot by her ear and she turned, dagger in hand before shoving it into his throat and taking the gun. She wasn't sure how it worked, but it couldn't be too hard. She pointed it toward another gun man and shot. He dropped to the ground as a small hole appeared on the back of his head and she fell back onto a table. "Whoa! What a kick!" She realized she was a step closer and having realized most of the gun men were now down, She slipped through motioning to Emeraldia, Mona, Zane, Estelle, and the rest of the crew. She laughed as she ran around the corner of the bar, the smoke free air and salt ocean smell filling her noes and her lungs. Just as her nerves began to calm, and she realized she could enjoy her drunken state again, someone grabbed her arm, spinning her around.

[MagicBeans]

"What are you doing out here alone?" I asked Dementia after spinning her around to face me. It took her a moment to recognize me, but when she did a smile spread across her face. She stagged slightly as she spoke in slurred words.

"I was..." her hand was waving wildly as she spoke "..and there men! And guns!"

I shook my head. "Oh darling. We've had a few too many have we?" I slipped my arm around her waist. "Come with me darling." It wasn't long afterwards that we were in her room at the inn. I laid her on the bed, then closed the door to save her the embarrassment of prying eyes. I pulled her shoes off, laying them quietly on the floor. Talking more to myself than to the sleeping Dementia on the bed, "We'll have to...undress you" I gulped hard, trying to dislodge the lump in my throat. I was just unbuttoning her jacket when she grabbed my arm with her hand. The look in her eyes...

An hour later we lay on her bed, naked and out of breath. I put my arm around her, pulling her towards me. Kissing her head, I sighed heavily. "There is something...I need to tell you."
