((I could take Gibbs, if ye like. Or Elizabeth. Or someone else. Oh, and Eruraina, do ye wish to keep Beckett in on this? I know he's been somewhat neglected lately, but I've been waiting for the opportune moment for him to alert Jones to the fact that he has the heart and strike a bargain with him.))

((Oh, and I added a bit to my last post cuz...I felt like it :P))

Bootstrap sighed as he was forced to draw his attention back to the present. "To a certain degree," he replied despondently. "At least, when we're on the open sea. It's a bit harder to keep track when we're submerged, since there's not really a sun to go by. Nobody really tries, though, seein' as there's not much point in it. Each day's more or less the same as the last. Sail to whatever shipwreck the cap'n deems most likely to be profitable an' scare what few unfortunate souls we can into signin' on. Basically, we do what the cap'n says an' try not to anger him. That's the essential nature of life -if ye can call it that- on the Dutchman." Frowning, he took a particularly large gulp out of the bottle.

As Will surfaced his eyes burned from the salt water. He rubbed them with his hands, but it was no use...they continued to burn. As he waded in the ocean, he watched as the Flying Dutchman sailed away. He felt awful that he couldn't physically help Jack or his father escape.

He then swam away from the direction of the ship and toward the rowboat with the rest of the crew......it would take a while to reach them....because they were at least 50 feet away.

Jack's eyes fell over Bootstrap. He watched his emotions through the man's tired and worn eyes. It seemed as though all the courage, hope, and happiness had been sucked out of old Bill like a sponge.

Subconsciously, Jack's eyebrows fell down, feeling a part of his friend's sorrow. He didn't reply for sometime, but when he did reply it was another change of subject. "How does one breathe, when the Dutchman submerges?"

Jack didn't want to sound like an irritating kiddie, but if he was going to be here for sometime, he'd better learn a little something about this bloody ship.

Bootstrap contemplated for a moment. "I s'pose we just...do," he finally said with a shrug. "I was so used to not breathin' at all when I first joined that it ne'er really crossed my mind just how I'd breathe on my first submersion. I was more focussed on just how little I cared for the water at the time, havin' seen more than enough o' it in my lifetime...Don't worry 'bout it, Jack. It'll come naturally enough when ye need to."

Will had now been swimming toward the rowboat for at least 10 minutes. He was becoming extremely tired. Waves continued to crash over him and it was hard for him to catch his breath at moments.

Looking into the distance, he was now very close. "HEY! Help!" Will yelled over the loud sound of the ocean waves and wind. He continued to swim, but very slowly.

Pintel was the first to see Will swimming tward them. "Look! It's Will!" he said, and he and Ragetti started rowing the small boat tward him, until then were right next to him...

Mr. Gibbs' head gave a sudden crack in the other direction. He pushed himself to the edge of the boat, not caring whose foot he'd just stepped on. With a squint in his eyes he stared at the bobbing figure in the distance, "God, it can't be..."

__________________

Jack's eyes fell low, and they stared at his sand crusted boots. "That seems interestin' enough.."

Another round of silence passed between the two. The silence was awkward none the less, but for Jack, it felt right, until he himself broke it.

He swaggered over to where some more barrels sat, they were open, and so he peeked into many various ones. In a frustrated tone he said over to Bill, "Bloody, what do ye gents eat down 'ere..." his voice was muffled and hardly understandable for his head was in one of the barrels.

Ragetti tried to steady the boat as Pintel and Gibbs rocked it. He looked around nervously and wimpered, "You'll knock the boat o'vr if you're not careful!"

He attention was then drawn toward Will who was next to the boat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will breathed heavily with his eyes half shut. He mustered enough strength to place both arms over the boat but he couldn't pull himself up.

Mr. Gibbs was one of the first to immediately reach down to the young man. "Will, lad, what happened?! Where ye been?" He heeved Turner over into the boat with his stocky arms and glared into the wet face with eager eyes.

((Hmm...do I need to take up Elizabeth? Keira seems to have left us, so... *shrugs*))

Bootstrap blinked in surprise at Jack's sudden -albeit muffled- question. "Well...anythin' that happens to float by that looks good, I guess," he said with a shrug. He kept finding himself caught off-guard by Jack's various inquiries, though he supposed they were only natural. It was simply that Bootstrap himself had not occupied his mind with mortal worries such as eating and breathing for over a decade now, and the result was that those issues never came to mind when he first joined, nor at any point after. "'S not really necessary, though," he added. "Ye forget that we're immortal. We can't die, even if we want to. Trifles such as eating and sleeping are priveleges, not necessities."

(YES! Please be Elizabeth POTR!)

Will laid limp inside of the small boat. He tried to catch some breath before speaking. "Jack......debt....to pay......on the.....Dutchman....." he then threw his head back and took a large gasp of air.
