Oh. Now I feel sorta... proud. (The only thing that ever did that to me was the very nice movie Amelie, and yes, it is a very strange feeling.)
Re: are they ever getting out?
I have an inkling of a feeling that they do. Though that may have more to do with the fact that I also care very much about fictional characters (is worried about Jack Sparrow like whoa), and less with any idea I might have on the details of how.
Re: Jack Sparrow: He'll be fine. He wouldn't have been nearly so cool (on so many levels) about being eaten by the krakken if he wasn't going to be fine. :-) Trust me on this, darlink. :-)
Re: How do they get out.
Mal has two days worth of coffee left. Can she stretch that to four? (I'm assuming she's having one bean at morning and one bean at evening, yes?) If she stretched it to one bean per day -- it would be harder on her, but I think she's got enough pain to keep her distracted from the withdrawl. After the beans are gone, however... Mal lasted... how long(?) without any coffee? About four days, maybe? So they've got about a week -- although it's possible that the acorn 'coffee' really was helping more than anyone thought it could. (Perhaps she'll end up sucking on the string for a little bit). None of this, of course, gets them out but it does buy them some time

Back to the point: When Mal finally cracks, she's going to stop caring about the pain in her wrists, because the hunger will just take over. (Maybe Polly will see Mal's eyes glowing dimly in the dark. Maybe she'll wonder if she'll be safe as long as there's light filtering in through the high window -- though she'll doubt it, given Mal's tollerance for sunlight). So Mal could end up at least trying to break the chains

*shivers* That was unexpected and sad and hillarious at the same time. The joking and inuendo was spectacularly manic, especially when contrasted with the end. I felt terrified on their behalf.
Thank you :) Glad it worked like intended. (Uploaded the thing to ff.n and chose the categories as angst/humor. Now there's something I've never done before.)

Oh, my dear.
Funny, how you can make me laugh and cry at the same time.

But I'm not sure how, so, I'm with you on the gah.

Are they going to get out?
