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.
I take it Mal *can't* pull those chains out of the wall? I mean, clearly it would hurt even more than it currently is, but eventually she'll stop caring, yes? Because Polly's blood is right there, just out of reach, and all she has to do is break a single link on each chaing (and, let's face it, silver's pretty maliable when we get right down to it).
How big is that window, and how far above them is it? Is it one of those 'just big enough to let in some air and some freezing cold, but not big enough to get out of' windows? Or is it big enough that someone *really* skinny might *just* be able to squeeze through -- if they could get the heavy, well-set grille out of the way? How is the door mounted? Presumably the chains don't reach the door (but I could be wrong -- perhaps their captors are really, really nasty/clever and made sure that both of them could walk around the cell just fine, but couldn't quite get to the door -- Maybe Mal's chains will let her get within about two inches of the door frame, but not actually touch it? Or maybe not?)
So: 1) Flesh out the cell. What's that rope made of, anyway?
See: The way I see it, is that when Mal finally cracks -- having (I hope) had the foresight to tell her beloved 'you might want to sleep over there tonight', and nod her head wearily in the dirrection of the farthest corner of the cell. Whether Polly will do it or not... I don't actually know. She might give Mal that kiss she's been wanting to give her, though, since she's been asked to get up anyway.
Uh... Running out of character-space. To be continued in the next reply...
