The Medallion
James and Saraman; 2004
A/N: Whatever isn't in parenthesis was in the original covered round robin from 2004. The stuff in parenthesis is my recent comments. Enjoy!
"Arghhhhh…you don't know what this is, do ya?" growled Captain Barbossa, holding the medallion out in front of him (as opposed to holding it behind his back?). He picked up the medallion and put it in his pocket (clumsy, isn't he?). But his pocket got a hole in it and the medallion fell out onto the ground (and not too practical either).
Then, Will came over and picked it up. "What's this?" he said, trying to bend the medallion with his teeth (he saw that on Dumbo and wanted to try it). "Ah, Aztec gold." He went to buy rum at the tavern with it, but accidentally dropped it (him, too?).
Jack picked it up and held it in his hands. "My precious, my precious!" he cooed (taking cues from Sméagol now, eh?).
Elizabeth sauntered casually up to him and tackled him, trying to get it. But she did not get it because Pintel clubbed her first (why that naughty, violent man). "Thank-you!" said Pintel, grabbing the medallion and walking away (well, at least he's polite).
Mr. Cotton saw the medallion and wanted it for himself (that seems to be common in this story). So he sneaked up behind Pintel, threw a pillowcase over his head, and grabbed the medallion out of Pintel's hands. Then, he ran away (Wow, I didn't think he had that in him. His parrot maybe, but not Mr. Cotton).
"Ah-har-ha!" shrieked Barbossa, just then noticing that his medallion was mislaid. "Jack, bring me that medallion!" He ran after the passersby, faster than fifty eerie beetles after a mushroom (that fast?).
Anna-Maria stole the medallion out of Commodore Norrington's quarters, for the Commodore had captured Mr. Cotton and taken it, and run away to Jack's ship. When Jack saw Anna-Maria standing around, he swiped the medallion and threw her overboard.
"Yehhrr!" said Anna-Maria. "Give that back!"
"No!" snarled Jack. "It's mine, my own, my precious!" (Yeah, sue him.)
"No, it's not," said Mr. Gibbs. "It's mine!" He hobbled toward him like a crazy maniac (aren't most maniacs crazy? Or only some?).
Then, Will grabbed the medallion and gave it to Bootstrap Bill, who was under the sea. "Ahh!" said Will. "My medallion is gone!" He dove into the sea, swimming after it (he doesn't really think that far ahead, does he?). "Come back!" he called. But Bill did not come back (you blame him? I mean, if my son came up to me and gave a present and then started freaking out and wanting it back, I'd be making myself scarce, too).
At length, Barbossa threw a line in the water and said, "Hullo, I caught a fish!" Really, it was the medallion (no… impossible! Really?).
