Elizabeth ad Will had just exited the gates of Swan Manor and after
rejecting the carrage footman´s offer to escort them to their destination
they made out on foot in the direction of the main plaza. Elizabeth had her
skirt hiked up a little so as to walk faster and Will was trying to keep up
with her pace.
Will: Elizabeth, where is it that we are meeting Jack?
Elizabeth: Well, I thought that Jack isn´t exactly friendly with the military..... so he needs a place where the military would most likely not set foot,......... or have an ally that went there........... He also needs it to be a place that serves enough rum for his liking, as AnaMarie suggested,.............. but also near the docks. Most of the pubs are farther away from the docks............. and fairly near the prison and fortress.......... so we can cancel those out.
Will was trying to follow her quick breatheless words as well as quick pace and was drawing in the air a mental map of the different sections of town as she mentioned them.
Elizabeth: That leads us to a small portion of Port Royal........ that is closer to the docks......... and has a selection of pubs. Do you see where I am getting at?
Will: I think so. I think I know that portion of town but still we can´t go into all of them asking for Jack Sparrow because the military aren´t his only enemies.
Elizabeth: But what pubs do we know in that area and can have ours and Jack´s allies gathered together.
They crossed the main square and elizabeth took a few seconds to orient herself and choose which of the paths that turned into it they would need. She saw her turning , winding street and began to lead Will down it knowing its every curve and turn needed to take. She was sure of her path. She was excited at her discovery and wanted for Will to figure out the mystery on his own obviously, which he did not mind but was rather puzzled at the question. He only remembered one pub where it could possibly be......
Will: The cherrytree!
Elizabeth: * she stopped in midstreet excited * Exactly! Norrington is military and may be there but he is now playing the ally now that Renee is well known to AnaMarie. Plus he will be either too occupied or too drunk to care even if he recognizes one of us. The cherrytree is known to serve ambushes of rum and Renee is fond of it from what I can depict from AnaMarie´s brief description of her. Therefore he also has a strong ally to defend his and our identities. It is very near the docks as well.
She had Will hands in hers and leaned forward giving him his reward for deciphering the puzzle: a soft kiss on the cheek. He gathered up his excited, adventureous madam in his arms embracing her and at her ears whispered...
Will: Have you been so clever as to decipher the puzzle on why we are here?
Elizabeth: * Slipping from his ambrace but letting herself in his arms * No.....Money?
They began walking again as Elizabeth muttered under her breathe about what the god-forsaken letter could be about. They could alreay see the wooden sign with "The Cherrytree" painted in red letters and a green and brown tree painted beside it. Will then remembered speaking to her father on the matter.
Will: Oh, Elizabeth! Your father had an important matter to speak to you of. He wanted to speak to you urgently before we left.
Elizabeth: Here we are! * She grabbed Will´s hand with one of her own and held her skirt hem with the other so as not to trip over the step. * Don´t worry about my father. It´s probably about some matter with the invitees from the army, which should come' and so forth. We have time to speak of that,......and to arrange how to keep Jack from quarreling with them. No matter.
The Cherrytree was a grey stone building of two stories with a thick wooden door. As they opened they were greeted by a number of men in sailors and pirate´s clothing pointing their loyal pistols at them. No doubt this place knew few strangers and disliked the entrance of them. Eliabeth clung to Will´s arm as they both gazed to try and find any sign of Jack. In a corner they saw a man lounging on a wooden stool with his boots propped up on the bar table in front of him. His arms were crossed and his chin rested on them. His hat was tipped over his eyes but they knew who it was. He lifted the brim of his three-cornered captain´s hat and the deep brown kohl- rimmed eyes stared out at the scene.
Jack: Well, blast you all. Can´t ye see only friends enter this bar!
Will and Elizabeth were surprized by this action. They had expected him to get up and tell the men to lower their guns or he would be forced to raise his own in the opposite direction or at least something that would calm the men. An utter silence fell upon the bar after Jack spoke. Clearly they were waiting for Will and Elizabeth to say something but Jack´s actions had left a stupor upon them, they were speechless.
Jack slid his boot-clad feet off the table and slowly arose. He arranged his hat quickly and strode towards the crowd. He placed himself between Will and Elizabeth, making the men lower their weapons, and turned to the crowd grinning and with his arms raised and in a steady voice spoke.
Jack: Do ye know the likes of this group er not me friends? * He turned back to the couple and winked *
Crowd: Nay!
Jack: * walking back and forth as he spoke and stopping with the end of his sentences to place emphasis on his words * Do we approve of strangers entering our beloved Cherrytree?
Crowd: Nay! * They brought their pistols back out, pointing them yet again at Will and Elizabeth, and some cocking them *
Jack: * Motioning with hands for the guns to be placed down* Down, me friends. Let´s not make trouble before they can assure their loyalty to us. * Stepping aside and turning to the couple * What have ye to say in defense?
Elizabeth was furious. Jack was double-trading them. Most unloyal of him! Will saw her fire up, he knew the signs of her anger: the pout, that fire in her eyes, she leant her body forward but remained balanced as if she wwished to stay composed but would otherwise have pounced Jack by now. He took her shoulders between his arms and brought her back so that she leant against him. He whispered in her ears trying to soothe her.
Elizabeth: * with hatred as Will pulled her back * You´re dispicable! * Jack smirked *
Jack: * He was an inch away from her face * Doesn´t that sound familiar!
Will: * whispering to Elizabeth * Calm down. Let´s see what this is all about.
Elizabeth glanced back quickly at Will, still holding back her words against Jack. What was this all about? He wasn´t drunk. He was completely sober. This had to be some trick. He couldn´t, he wouldn´t do this. Not to them, right?
Jack: * turning back to his crowd arms raised * They don´t speak. * to Will and Elizabeth * Cat got your tongue. * turning back to the crowd * No, I just remembered the cat has Cotton´s tongue.
Mr. Cotton´s Parrot: Rawk! Not a cat, not a cat! Was the bird, was the bird!
The crowd looked back to see another pirate with a parrot on his shoulder open his mouth reveiling what he still had of his tongue. Jack made disgusted gestures on seeing this. He still wasn´t quite used to seeing the remains of a tongue floppinbg lazily in anyone´s mouth.
Jack: Thank you....... Mr. Cotton´s....... Parrot......Well, now that that´s cleared up about whose missing what, we´re still missing out on how are they going to prove their loyalty. * He glanced back at them before returning to face the crowd.* Tell me, friends. What should they do to prove their loyalty? Have they noone to speak up for them amongst us?
Will and Elizabeth turned to each other as he asked the first question then turned to Jack. They quizzed him with their expressions but he failed to pay them notice. They franticly searched the crowd for any other member of the crew and saw AnaMarie, Ragessi and Pintel.
Pintel: Ooooh! Me!
Ragessi: * covering his mouth * Shut up. ´Member wha´the Cap´n said?
Pintel: But they ...
Ragessi: God, shut it!
Will had picked part of their conversation and was nervously watching everyone. Jack said nothin. AnaMarie just watched under the brim of her hat and took swigs of her liquor while she talked to the barmaid. Suddenly Jack´s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands together.
Jack: Me mates. No one has said a word. * He removed his hat and held it in his hand * Well, I do speak for me friends here. * gesturing towards them with his hat before handing it to Will who grabbed it confused * * The crowd mumbled in disagreement and confusion * I would have earlier but I knew ye´s wouldn´t believe me. So we still have the matter o´chosing their entrance rite. Being my friends don´t make them yerses.So what´ll be a fair argument on their behalf? Neither I nor they can speak any other word of loyalty so how do ye´s wish to dare them? * He glanced at them and walked close to them inspecting their faces quizzingly before grinning and turning back to the crowd * I, for one, say that our proof must show that we have a good loyal friendship with these two. Is that agreed?
Crowd: *thinking it over * Aye.
Jack: I have on mind a great way to prove their loyalty. Haven´t yes heard of when the infamous Captian Jack Sparrow was marooned on a god forsken island with nothing but a pistol and a lovely companion with whom he had to find an escape from this MOST certain death?
Crowd: Aye.
Jack: I am here to claim that that lovely companion was none other than this woman before ye. She is a legend who on her own was able to make a smokesignal so high that even the very King´s Navy could not pass it by and therefore attained and bargained the escape of herself and a pirate from death. Is that not a true muster of loyalty?
Crowd: Aye!
Sailor 1: But how´da we know ye´s be tellin´the truth ´bout her. Be noone on that island save her and ye and ye both may be lying.
Jack: I have alredy thought of that. My dear friend * to Elizabeth * stay put in yer place as I here will whisper the try to this pioneer for the skeptics.
With that Elizabeth was left in front of the crowd, Will a few paces behind her smiling her encouragement. Jack had left to where the other sailor was and was ever so quietely whispering something to him and the sailor was nodding in agreement.
Sailor 1: A´right. * Jack was behind the sailor with crossed arms and sending a wink of encouragement to Elizabeth * Ye have a few items to cover from that li´l adventure to prove its rightness. First off, what did ye use for the firesignal?
Elizabeth breathed in relief but remained composed.
Elizabeth: The island had been used for rum merchanting and the saves from that merchandising was used.
Jack: Since that answer was twice correct should ye take off one of ye questions.
Sailor 1:She´ll answer them all and it was the searched answer... * looking at Jack and back at her * Next, what did Jack tell ye
Jack: Captain Jack. Captain Jack.
Sailor 1: What did Jack promise to do when he returned to the crew?
Elizabeth thought a moment staring directly at Jack for a hint of some sort or to cypher if this had some kind of trick behind it. Jack simply smirked at her.
Elizabeth: Ohh! That. He promised to teach a song to the crew. But I doubt he´s kept his word.
Sailor 1: Right. But ye must now sing us that beloved song of Jack´s.
Elizabeth: * surprised and embarrassed * What? No,.....I can´t. I refuse. * A couple sailors in the front row cocked their pistols *
Sailor 2: * to sailor 1 * Seems like she is a fake´ after all.
The sailor turned back to her, pistol in hand, revealing a rotted grin and placed his thumb on the trigger. Jack motioned wildly behind her and mouthed out clearly the words "please, luv!"
Elizabeth: * In dull upset voice and with pout * An´ really bad eggs, .....*quicker * drinkupmemateyyoho.
Sailor 1: Nay! That don´ work. Ye have to start a song from the beginning. * Jack motioning behind with his hands for her to please sing the blasted song.
Elizabeth absolutely hated Jack right now. Hated him! She looked back at Will who was somewhat confused but urged her on with a plading look. He mouthed grinning " I don´t know the words."Fine then. She bit her lower lip and faced the crowd again. Shut her eyes trying to calm her voice so as not to make a complete idiot out of herself. She breathed deeply, opened her eyes and began.
Elizabeth: It has been a year.
A couple pistols cocked, and she stood rigid. She relaxed and started over, eyes closed. Maybe if I can´t see them it´ll be easier.
Elizabeth: Allright.
In a sweet, obviously trained voice (due to a generous income that could pay for the best private tutors) although it wasn´t strained.
Elizabeth: Yo ho, yo ho * gulp *
a pirate's life for me
She relaxed and began to move a bit to the melody. It was a very catchy song and as a "friend" of these people she must prove she had sung it others times before. Elizabeth: We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Elizabeth heard another voice join in with her. Pintel: * standing up he finished his mug *
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Elizabeth looked out to see Ragessi trying to quiet Pintel but Pintel had grabbed his shoulder hoisted him up and began to sway with him. Pintel: Comeon, sing. We can´t leave a friend in the dark alone. Ragessi was embarrassed but sang the next line with him. Ragessi, Pintel, and Elizabeth: Drink up me hearties, yo ho Sailor 2: By Bathorlomew, she does know the song. Anyone ´ho know the song must´ve learnt it from a pirate and Jack wagers he sang it with ´er. Jack: Aye! Sing on luv! * Waving his arms near him at his fellow sailors and seamen * And anyone of ye who know the song and be friends of the Cherrytree sing!
Elizabeth was ecstatic. Jack had come through after all. Simple fool. He always had to make someone feel a fool. At least now she wasn´t singing alone. She continued. Elizabeth: Yo ho, yo ho Ragessi, Jack, Pintel, and Elizabeth: a pirate's life for me
AnaMarie joined in along with Sailor 1 and 2 and some of their friends. Elizabeth turned back to Will while singing this and nodded him to join her. He walked over during the next few lines as did Jack and soon the pub was full of a hearty crew of seamen all swaying grabbing each other´s shoulders, or in Will and Elizabeth´s cases waists, and singing along.
Everyone: * except Will who swayed and mouthed along pretending to know
clinging to his dear Elizabeth´s waist *
We extort, we pilfer we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindel and char inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're rascals, scoundrels villains and knaves
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
The song ended and Jack bowed to the couple as Will hugged a blushing Elizabeth and gave her a kiss on the cheek. A good group of people applauded. Sailor 1: * clapping Will on the back * Come on forward, young´uns. Ye have friends here whenever ye be needing.
They walked over to Jack, who was guiding them towards the bar counter. Jack: Splendid, luv! Jus´ bloody splendid,.....but not the same without a bonfire, am I right, Elizabeth? Now Ye have people to meet. * Rapping his knuckles on the bar counter * Is there not a splendid full-figured lass there that will serve a poor thirsty and sober young captain and his friends. AnaMarie joined them at the bar, mug in hand. AnaMarie: She went to the stockroom, so she should come any moment now. A/N: that was really fun and a good way to tie in the past movie with this one I think but although Jack has a "lovely singing voice" (Captain Jack Sparrow) it didn´t make sense that he would know the song so he didn´t. K? Any character question? Please rnr. Pintel is the skinny dorky-dumb crewmember who´s missing an eyeball in the first one and Ragessi is the chubbier one who´s always by him. Ok peeps. That periwinkle button is yours to push anytime now.
Will: Elizabeth, where is it that we are meeting Jack?
Elizabeth: Well, I thought that Jack isn´t exactly friendly with the military..... so he needs a place where the military would most likely not set foot,......... or have an ally that went there...........
