A graceful landing; The Spanish Main--Tortuga [Completed]

Aug 08, 2006 05:53

After a while of poking around Jack had concluded one thing: This little sloop had a lot of gadgets. Every time he poked a button or groped a lever, some kind of light would respond or strange beep would sound out of nowhere. He spent about an hour searching for the source of said beep, ducking and looking up into the roof of the cabin. After a ( Read more... )

The sudden loud crash, followed by a billowing cloud of dust as one wall of the tavern was reduced to rubble left Norrington largely unfazed. While the majority of the conscious tavern-goers stood around, gaping at the peculiar sight, he remained sitting at his table, his attention seemingly focused on the bottle in front of him ( ... )

No, a 'respectable gent' would never be seen in a place like this. It appalled him to acknowledge how far he had fallen, although it was no secret to him in the first place.

One of his hands left the table and he gestured towards the chair opposite his own, suggesting that Jack take a seat.

This was a most unexpected proposition. Jack did pause out of err in caution, the only thing the two had spoken about in the past were clads and irons; all the catching up they did were nothing more than commanded euphemisms about silence and graves. Ordinarily he would make it a point not to stay anywhere nearby a bluecoat and risk himself a gallows, but more ordinarily said respectable gent wouldn’t be anywhere within a fortnight of Tortuga’s port ( ... )
