Black Pearl, the ship.

1. Hidden in the steering box is a baroque black pearl: long, bubbled, and swirled with color. A sliver has been cut off ( ... )

Oh. Oh, wow!
*cuddles pseudocanon*

But, but, but! What happened to the lieutenant? And the sliver?

Check out the other comments. >P All will be revealed! Except not really.

Again, oh wow! It's all creepy and fascinating and brilliant and woven with tangled webs and I'm so glad I chose the Pearl as my character, because that fits well!

My own pseudocanon says that the Pearl had a part in the mutiny - one of the ringleaders, right up there with Barbossa - and didn't realise she loved Sparrow until after they'd marooned him on that island. And then she had ten years as a ghost ship in which to think about it.

Aw, anthropomorphic object have romantic regrets, as well! How sentient is the Pearl in your canon? Does she "talk" to sailors, or just flap her sails a bit? Can she steer herself? Can she DANCE? Can she reveal herself as a woman, like a spirit? Or is she more shiply?

Talks, yes. To some more than others.
Flaps sails more for dramatic emphasis than anything - Sparrow and Barbossa both have a flair for the theatrical, and it's rubbed off on her more than a little.
Will sail without a wind for someone she really likes.
Can steer herself, but seldom does. What's the point of having a Captain, after all?
Has been known to lurch stratigically to tip someone into someone else's arms. Or overboard, as the case may be.
Have not asked her if she can dance. She's considerably more bloodthirsty than Sparrow, and I have a feeling she'd consider it beneath her. (Give her a few more years with Sparrow corrupting her, then we'll see.)
Can do the ghost thing - seldom does.
Follows Jack through his various incarnations and accidental bouts of timetravelling, not always in ship-shape. I know this, because she looked like a horse when Jack was in Middle Earth. She was still a ship, of couse - and Jack knew she was a ship - but she looked like a horse. A black horse, which made the natives uneasy because ( ... )

PLEASE tell me you have more stories about this. :P The snippet about Middle Earth is awesome-- and I want more! Do they ever travel to, say OUaTiM times? Or perhaps Sleepy Hollow times? >D

I know this, because I WAS THERE!
You get 7 million cool points if you can tell me where that quote is from.

OuatiM, the Pearl would be a car - large and black and growly.
Sleepy Hollow she'd be a horse again. I have no what they'd be doing there, unless they were visiting the Pearl's cousin Daredevil.
On the other hand, if, back in PotC-verse, you were to hear rumours of another black ship, captained by a man with ice-blue eyes and razor-sharp teeth and a first mate who faints at the sight of blood (but only ever once he's finished what he's doing) - you might have some idea of what became of Ichabod and the Horseman after the events of that movie.

Will have to forfeit the cool points - it rings several bells, but nothing I can pinpoint. Tell me?

So, when this ice-eyed captain runs afoul of Barbossa, and Jack is running around kicking sandin everyone's eyes and trying to get his ship back, and the first mate just happens to faint and Jack almost catches him, and then notices the shiny in his pockets, and the ice-eyed captain notices him noticing... what happens next? O.O

It's a line spoken by the umatchable Tim Curry in the orgiastic fantastic movie Clue. You should find and watch Clue. It will make you cooler.

Wait, wait - when is this? Because if it's before canon we've got skeletal pirates to deal with, and if it's after canon Jack's dead, the Turners (and I'm going to call them Turners, dammit, even if canon hasn't let them get married yet) are on the Pearl with Barbossa, and they're all on their way to World's End ( ... )

Considering the lovely scheme you've concocted, I'm gonna vote for after canon. But zombies are so COOL. :/

Cheerfully immune to the effects of the captain's very very long sword, Jack points out the folly of using such a very very long sword on a ship, but then the captain chops off three heads at one go and Jack concedes the point. Before the captain massacres all of Barbossa's crew (and likely cuts Barbossa's hat feather-- again) the Daredevil comes alongside (curiously unmanned) and the captain and first mate swing over. Jack apparates along for the ride, as he's getting a little sick of the Turners' nefarious mooncalf dealings and Barbossa's... selfness. It's a lovely vacation, but he does wish the first mate would stop studying him and babbling on about the fruitful application of scientific methods to supernatural happenings. And the captain's a little creepy ( ... )
