(( Ooh man.. mr. Jansen sounds like a creep :confused2: I'm really curious how Vari will get herself out of this :teehee: ))

Sam muffled her laughter with a pillow which she'd found on a chair and she took a few deep breaths before talking again after a few minutes: "Ye started.." she hissed. "As usual.." She turned around and looked at Em. Suddenly she felt guilty about dragging her friend into something she knew nothing about. She didn't know Edward or Vari at all.. and now they were 'hiding' in one of the most dangerous houses in Port Royal. Correction Sam thought by herself The Commodore's house would be the most dangerous place.. but perhaps also the most interesting.
"So how do we get out..?" Sam asked in a low voice. "I'll not be wearin' a dress." Only the thought of it made her feel uncomfortable. "Never wore one.. and I'm not plannin' to"

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

((PD, how's the Commodore going to notice Cole's sneaking around?))

The Commodore ougt to feel relieved when Will had left. To meet Turner, in public, couldn't be anything else than painful but Norrington wasn't relieved. He now had to face even bigger problems which, unlike his private problems, would raise suspicion among his superiors so Norrington realised that something had to be done. He was convinced that the pirates had left Port Royal so the Dauntless had to be prepared, the pirates had to be hunted down.

Alex looked around, hoping for a glimpse of a familiar face. She knew there were other pirates in town, she had seen them on her way in. She bit her lip and elected to search the taverns and bars.

Edward did not take his eyes away from the window, instead stood unmoving and deep in thought. “Well, Sam, if wearin’ dresses saves us, even I’ll put one on.” He smirked to himself, finding the thought rather humorous. When Lotty spoke he said, “I can’t say, but he’ll know what to do - he knows this Mr. Jansen better than any of us. If there’s someone who can pull the wool over his eyes, it’s Cole.” Edward studied the townsfolk moving about below and sighed. “I only wish he’d show up. Until then, I think we’re stuck ’ere, mates.”

-----------

[[What are they eating exactly? :blink: ]]

Keyara looked down at the food in front of her, breaking their eye contact. Everything looked absolutely marvelous - and probably much better tasting than the vulgar meals she had consumed before. “I can’t remember the last time I actually sat down and had a meal like this,” she mused aloud, looking down at her reflection in the spoon.

-----------

[[Aye Will, he is a creep… :erm: Okay, PD, I was just hoping he wasn’t going to be like the parents on “Peanuts” where you just hear them mumbling when Charlie Brown does something wrong… :P ]]

Vari sat still for a moment, trying to think quickly. It was hard to come up with a lie when put on the spot, so she shifted in her chair and remembered the pirates hidden upstairs. “Edwards. Victoria Edwards. And, I’m quite sorry to tell you, sir, but father has gone back to England to assist an old friend with some difficulties he is having and mother has fallen quite ill as of late.” She pulled a sad, pitying look, praying he would buy it.

Alex called off her search after a short time of searching and ordered a drink. As she waited, she surveyed the crowd, searching for soldiers or other possibly threatening parties.

(Good! I'm glad to hear he's coming across as a sort of creep! :P that's kinda how I wanted it. ;)

Lotty looked over at Edward as he answered her. "but is this Jansen fellow really that..." she stopped and remembered that most wealthy Englishmen had a way of being sneaky and keen. Instead she only said, "but what if we're caught before Cole can come?"

Emma looked around the bedroom wondering if maybe she could discover more about this Cole person by looking at the way he kept his room. She still wasn't sure about him and she wished she could spot at least one reassuring thing. After a short time she grew bored of that and, after putting her hands behind her back, she felt the door knob, took ahold of it and gently turned it. She pulled it only slightly ajar, "I wonder if we'll be able to hear anythin' from here. Anythin' at all." Anything was better than just waiting there.

_____________

(I dunno... what do you think is should be? :P)

Beckett looked down at his plate just as she did. The meal looked the same as all of the meals he could ever remember eating. To him this was just a normal meal. His head shot up and he stared at her quickly as he heard her state that she couldn't remember the last time when she had eaten something like this. Cutler didn't say anything to it, however, and returned his eyes to his plate with a simple nod. Obviously she hasn't eaten anything like this, he scolded himself, she's not you, after all. He wasn't sure what to say next but he also didn't really feel like eating.

___________

(lol, no this isn't gonna be like the "Peanuts"! :P ;))

Relief swept over Carmon as she heard Vari's response.

"that's a shame, Ms. Edwards." Mr. Jansen paused and looked over at Carmon quickly before returning his eyes to Vari again. "it seems like I would remember a Mr. Edwards." a thoughtful look crossed his face.

Carmon tried to think of what to say to distract him or something, "Mr. Edwards was only here for a short time. And Mrs. Edwards keeps at home... that was, before she became ill." she nodded.

Mr. Jansen's face remained the same and he was quiet for a time, "of course. But I could visit your mother then? Obviously she needs some sort of comforting."

(I think he's figuring it out! :hide:)

_______________

(hmmm, I dunno! :erm: Maybe he'll just happen to ride/walk by where Cole and Alex are... wouldn't that be a fine mess! lol if Alex escaped but Norrie caught Cole! :bones: and I guess for now I'm not gonna do anymore with Will... I'll wait for Anie. :P)

Millie, I thought Cole caught Alex? :confused:

I hope that sounded good! It's a little time past midnight here so yeah :P

(I have returned! :D So we'll finally get back to the original purpose of this RP, then? :P JK guys!)

Elizabeth arrived at the blacksmith's shop only to find it locked. Furrowing her brows in confusion and worry, she wondered out loud, "Will, where are you?" She knew him extremely well; it wasn't like him to be late to his work. I hope something terrible hasn't happened...

Edward glanced at Lotty, a troubled look entering his eyes. What if they were caught? For once, he had no answer to give. If they were caught, it would be as some so harshly put it, a short drop and sudden stop. He quickly glanced towards Emma and then, kneeling to the ground, he pressed an ear to the floor and listened - some of the conversation downstairs was leaking through the floorboards. This meant that the dining room was probably directly below them and should any loud noise above be made, Mr. Jansen would most likely hear it. Edward sat very still as he listened to what was going on - something about an ill mother, was what he could gather from Mr. Jansen’s smooth voice.

[[I hope that’s okay. ;-) ]]

-----------

[[Well, they had… soup and… stuff… I don’t know much about 17th century cuisine, sorry. :P ]]

Keyara placed the folded cloth napkin on her lap and shifted in her chair before noticing that Beckett was unusually silent. “Is something wrong, Cutler?” She asked, poking at the meat on her plate with the polished fork. Keyara looked up, hoping to get some sort of verbal response from him.

[[Lol, have Beckett and Mr. Jansen switched places? :lol: ]]

-----------

[[Hmm, Mr. Jansen is pretty cunning, but Vari’s got something else up her sleeve. :bones: ]]

Vari caught Carmon’s eyes for a moment before Mr. Jansen addressed her again. She twiddled her thumbs underneath the table - any movement would help ease her stress rather than sitting stiff as a board. “Well, sir, perhaps you should.” She gave Carmon a reassuring look - they could make this work and if not… Vari had a pistol and wouldn’t hesitate to use it. “But I’m afraid she’s quite contagious at the moment, for that’s why I’m here. The doctor insists that no one is allowed to be near her until the medicine kicks in, which might be a few days from now.” Vari’s hazel eyes sparkled slightly - now that she was here, in front of this man, things didn’t seem so bad, as long as believable excuses could keep being made up.

"If this guy discovers us.. than it will be our faces which he'll see last on this earth. I would and shall kill him." Sam's face showed an unconcerned look and in fact she couldn't care less about this man who was probably even more cruel and selfish than a comman pirate.
"Edward Blackhaven wearin' a dress?" Sam laughed and she threw her hair back. "That would be a sight! It will be the best story Tortuga heard since ol' Joey woke up chained to a Redcoat."

----

(( Okay then PD.. I'll have the Commodore ride through Tortuga and eventually he'll spot you ;) ))

The Commodore mounted his horse and left for the docks. His lieutenant would be there and everything should be prepared quickly. Before he'd left he'd sent a messenger to the Swan mansion to warn the Governor about the escape and that the executions would be off for this day.
James' eyes scanned the busy streets of Port Royal and it was a relief that here everything was as it should be..

(Millie, yup, he did. :) *points up at Cole-ie-o post*)

Lotty looked steadily into Ed's eyes, trying to coax an answer or a look that would give her some comfort. But all she saw was concern. She began to worry even more; now the situation was even over Edward's head. She shuddered slightly and prayed they would be spared. She walked over to where Emma and Edward were and knelt down and listened as well. She was startled to hear how easily things going on down below were seeping upstairs.

Emma nodded to what Sam had to say about the man below them, "aye. For his sake he better not discover us." she watched Edward as he got down on the floor and pressed his ear against the wood. She silently closed the door and got down by Lotty and Edward too. This was a better idea anyway, "This might come in handy," she whispered. Suddenly everything seemed like it should be whispered now that they knew how easy it was to overhear, "in case we hear that fellow getting on Vari's and the other girl's case and coming up to discover us. We can leave before he gets here or we can get ready to kill 'im."

_____________

(you mean "ride through Port Royal", Will? ;) Cole and Alex are there... :))

Cole, still holding Alex and covering her mouth, turned her around to look her full in the face. "shhhh, now I'm going to let go. Please don't run or yell," he whispered, "I won't hurt you or turn you back in." before he could think or talk any further, he heard a horse trotting by.

(do you want that to be Norrie, Will? :))

_________________

(lol, neither do I! :P soup, some sort of meat maybe a vegetable or something... yeah, somethin' like that. :P)

Beckett was caught a little off-guard when he first heard her question. Since when did she start addressing him by his first name? And what gave her the right? None of his other men addressed him by anything less than Lord Beckett or sir. He shifted in his seat ever so slightly. What bothered him even more was that he actually found it didn't bother him as much as he thought should've. He cursed at himself, but decided to ignore it for the time being and, as he folded his napkin, he forced a smile at her, "no, of course not."

(hmmm, I dunno. :P)

_____________

(good! :bones: Let's see what Vari can do then..... ;))

Carmon stared at Vari in surprise and horror but she tried hard to conceal it from Mr. Jansen. What was Vari thinking? She caught Vari's reassuring look, but somehow she just wasn't reassured. Before she knew it, she was quickly, but silently, tapping her feet under the table. It helped ease the stress. At that moment she felt like getting up, running out and screaming or something to that extent, however, she forced control and she tried to stop her feet from their nervous tapping. When Carmon heard Vari's reply a slight bit of relief did spread over her entire body. This was working. How thrilling and wonderful! Carmon had never done something quite like this before and she wasn't sure yet if she would ever want to do something like it again. She turned her gaze back to Mr. Jansen and nodded in agreement.

Jansen pondered it over for a few moments then he shrugged and nodded. "of course. It only makes sense." he said, "but where is breakfast? These two young women must be hungry? And I am too." He smiled at them. But it wasn't quite the kind of smile that was warm and comforting. It had a different, forced and unnerving quality to it. "Oh, but Ms. Edwards, I would assume you could at least take me to the house just to point it out today?" his eyes bore into hers for a moment before he turned to Carmon. Meanwhile, the breakfast was being brought out, "and where is Cole anyway? I haven't seen him or heard from him all morning."

_______________

(and I'm so sorry but I'm really in a rush for time... so no Will this time either. :blush: I'm sorry bout that!)

Edward nodded, closing his eyes for a moment. "If things don't go well..." he paused. "...We'll need to be there for Vari and Carmon." He made sure his pistol was tucked securely at his side, just in case - it might come in handy after all...

-----------

Keyara nodded slightly, returning her gaze to the food on her plate once again. She cut off a small piece of the meat and took a bite, avoiding Beckett's eyes. Why have things become so awkward? He's just a person like you, Key, even if he has more worldly possessions, she mused to herself, looking around the furnished room. It was almost too beautiful to be only a ship. She almost felt unworthy of being here.

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

Vari inwardly eased; finally the endless interrogation had stopped. Then her heart skipped a beat. Take him to the house? She took a few breaths, trying to regulate her heartbeat. Perhaps if she didn't answer, he wouldn't notice...? After all, Mr. Jansen was preoccupied with Cole and breakfast at the moment and she hoped that perhaps he'd just forget. At least until a later time when Vari could get her thoughts straight.

Alex cursed her captor mentally. She began devising his death in her mind. He would pay for disrupting her evening.

Sam, more curious than ever, got on her feet and wanted to listen as well to the conversation downstairs as she wondered how Vari was managing as a lady. But before she could sink on her knees she stumbled over Edward's feet, as she was floating in the air for a few seconds she had a nauseating feeling because she knew what would come next. With a loud blow she crashed on the wooden floor. Sam curled up, keeping her eyes shut as everything became silent again. Her head hurt alot, her heart was racing like crazy and she damned herself to hell for what for trouble she might have caused for her friends.

((Making everything a little more complicated for Vari and the rest :teehee: I had I kind of "Fool of a Took" vision with this piece :P ))

Norrington breathed in and breathed out. He felt himself calm down as he smelled the fresh air and the salty sea. Everything would turn out to be allright, he told himself. After all, look had never completely vanished from his side. He looked to his right into an alley and froze at this peculiar sight: a young man, who looked remarkably at his young friend Cole Applegate, together with a pirate girl who looked considerably at the pirate whom he'd just handed over to his lietenant. Quickly he turned, dismounted and entered the alley drawing his sword. "Well well.. does Cole Applegate finally show his allegiance?"

((Yes PD I meant Port Royal ;) ))
