I'm back! -does happy me dance- Here comes chapter 5:
Do I really have to do the disclaimer? Awww... But I
hate that... I reminds me that I don't own anybody...
–pouts-
In their lovely room on board of the Black Pearl,
Ilona and Elizabeth
are having a discussion. Apparently Elizabeth
doesn't altogether agrees with the way Ilona made a
deal with Barbossa. "I mean.. how
could you? Now we're stuck on this stupid boat" "Ship.."
"Right, ship.. and Barbossa
can do whatever he wants to do to us". Perhaps in this closet..
no, again no proper clothing. I want to get out of
this dress.. now! "Nah, he
won't do anything to us.. yet.
Say, you don't happen to have a spare dress or anything do you?" Elizabeth gasps in
desperation: "What do you mean.. yet?
He surely is going to kill the both of us" She starts sobbing. Great.. just what I need.. a girl that starts crying at the smallest event.
The door opens: "The Captain invites the two of ye for dinner, and he request
you wear this" The baldy holds up two dresses, one deep red and made of velvet
the other dark purple and made of satin. Elizabeth
stands up, dries her tears and starts: "You can tell your captain that I'm disinclmpfrghp" I flash my sweetest smile at them: "Ahem,
you'll excuse my friend here. What she means is: we surely don't want to dine
with the crew naked, so we'll accept the Captain's invitation. Tell him we'll
be with him in a minute" The baldy looks confused, but does hand over the
dresses: "Fine!". Finally, a decent dress.. without fluffy things and pink
things. Elizabeth
is furious now: "How could you accept his invitation? He is absolutely
disgusting, he is a criminal!" Throwing the monstrous pink thing into a heap in
the corner I answer her: "If you really don't want to eat with him, you could
always go to the crew. Only problem with that is, you aren't allowed to wear
clothes in that case". Fumbling with my corset I hear a soft "Oh" Grr.. stupid
corset! "Say.. Elizabeth,
could you please help me with this?"
Wrong decision, she really likes to torture me after this. She even puts her
foot in my back in an attempt to make the corset sit tighter
on my waist "Urgh, drat girl! I must still be
able to breath you know!? And I would like my waist to be more then only 2 centimeters!"
Finally, she's cutting me some slack.
In Barbossa's office, the table is set. Unfortunately, it's a cold buffet.
Lizzie attacks the poor pig, while I stick to the fruit. I read the history
books, they didn't know what the word: "personal hygiene" means in this age. So
I'm not touching anything that takes any time prepared by a cook.
"Now the apples. One of those next" Elizabeth drops the food
and makes a disgusted face: "It's.. poisoned"
(Sigh) I grab the apple from Barbossa's hand: "Who do you think you are? Snow white? Do you know how much poison costs? He would be
better off skewering us with his sword. Oh, and don't forget the blood to be
repaid part to get rid of this curse" I say while biting in the apple. Barbossa
arches one eyebrow: "And how would ye know all this lass?" I shrug and walk
towards the door: "I just do, there's no sense in trying to explain all this to
you, you are going to pretend you don't know what I'm
talking about anyway. Tell me this though: How much did my parents pay you
people to do this?". All I get is a stare. Fine.
I open the door and Lizzie starts to scream. Hey..
this is pretty cool. All sorts of skeletons are
walking on deck "Wow.. so much
more details than they show in the movie!" I walk over to the big muscled guy
that picked me up earlier on: "May I?" I'm prodding with my fingers between his
ribs: "Nice special effects. Your clothes don't fit you anymore though, that's
the problem with having no flesh and muscles in this form I guess" Lizzie runs
out of the cabin and falls into the hole on deck, you know what I mean, it's
the part in which the pirates throw her high up in the air. "Hey, Liz, wait for
me! That looks like fun!" I run towards her and jump down too. Again it's not
Elizabeth but me who gets grabbed.
This time by that yucky looking pirate that swings on the rope: "Urgh"
Ow, yuck: "Urgh yourself, you could use a breath mint
mate. And a complete face lift too, you look hideous" He releases me, and I can
see Barbossa talking to Elizabeth
about the not being able to quench his thirst part. He grabs the bottle of wine and I walk towards him. While he is
drinking, I peer suspiciously at his ribs, from very close range. Elizabeth runs back into
the cabin, screaming.
Barbossa slams the door shut and smashes the bottle, again a little difference
between this and the movie. He laughs, quite a funny thing for a skeleton. I
tug at his jacket: "Excuse me, Captain? Could you do that again? It looks real
funny" Again, he just stares. "I guess not.. I'll just
go in and try to calm her down. You didn't clean the table yet did you? I'm
still a bit hungry. Oh, by the way, thank you so much for the dress. I was
starting to get really edgy by that pink one. Bye now" As I close the door I
hear him say: "That lass has lost 'er
marbles for sure. She's daft!" Hey! "I AM NOT!" I yell from behind the door.
