Kate’s Point of View
The battering waves and strong current nearly swept me back towards the Pearl as I swam beneath the surface.
ZeldaQueen: Beneath the surface? Why would you be beneath the surface instead of, oh, above? You know, where the air is? Yes, I know she might have been knocked underwater, but I get the impression that she was swimming under there deliberately.
And swimming in a cloak ain't easy, is it girly-girl? What, did you forget you had that thing on?
I could barely see due to the foam and sea spray, though I was able to find my way to the shipwreck - and Jones.
ZeldaQueen: So wait...she said she was waiting for Jones's ship to appear, which implied that she didn't think he was on the shipwreck, but now she's going to the shipwreck...
I don't even care. This is so stupid
When at length I scaled the haul of the wreck, I found an imposing figure standing above several kneeling sailors,
ZeldaQueen: Who were all blowing him.
I'm so sorry
and watched as he drew a dagger across one poor man’s throat.
ZeldaQueen: You know, the lack of emotion in this writing coupled with the sociopathy shown in Gethesemane's works makes it seem horribly like Kate simply doesn't care that Davy Jones just killed a guy
As he neared Will, a flash of lightning illuminated a nightmarish creature with a beard of tentacles, a crab clawed arm, and black eyes as soulless as a shark’s. He was dressed in the traditional captain’s garb, save for his outfit was encrusted with barnacles, and even the peaks of his hat resembled devil’s horns.
ZeldaQueen: I love how she took what could have been a wonderfully chilling description and completely drained it of any sense of tension or fear
That nightmarish creature was none other than Davy Jones.
ZeldaQueen: You just called him a "nightmarish creature". Please learn to use appropriate synonyms
He stopped before Will, though I couldn’t hear what was being said.
ZeldaQueen: He probably was asking why Will was on the ship in the first place, given that Kate was basically taking over his role in canon and the Suethor seems incapable of grasping the idea that Jack was never planning on permanently bargaining with Jones
I then came to stand on the railing, grabbing hold of a nearby rope for support.
ZeldaQueen: Unfortunately the rope was slippery and she lost her grip. She promptly fell off of the side of the ship, her screams interrupting Will and Jone's conversation.
"Not another blasted Sue", muttered Jones.
"At least this one isn't making me fuck Norrington," said Will
“Jones!” I called out.
ZeldaQueen: Would that be Martha, January, Cleolinda, or Jughead? Be specific here
The heartless beast looked up at me, though I knew he couldn’t see beyond my black hood.
ZeldaQueen: Oh, so you actually remembered you had that thing on? They why didn't it drag you to your death when you were swimming over to the ship? Must be one of those convenient cloaks that disappears when you touch water and reappears when you need a dramatic entrance. I've heard so much about 'em, I think Billy Mays had an infomercial for them.
Oh, and folks? There's a reason she's making sure to hammer home that Jones can't see her face. Rest assured, it's a stupid reason
“Who are you?” he demanded. “You’re neither dead nor hurt.”
ZeldaQueen: Um, the line was "You're neither dead nor dying". Why would Jones care if someone was hurt? Sailors get hurt all of the time, doubly true for pirates. What, does he show up and asks if someone fears death every time a sailor slips on a wet plank and skins their knee?
I jumped down to the deck and came to stand before him. “I have come to make a bargain.”
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "Too late. I just made the bargain with Will Turner here, as per canon. Go show off somewhere else, young missy"
A small, wicked smile creased his lips. “A bargain, eh? Can’t make a bargain if I can’t see your face.”
ZeldaQueen: Why would he care about her face? Jones wants the souls of the dead. I kind of got the feeling that if he hadn't known that Will was acting on behalf of Jack, Jones would have just killed him
I drew back my hood, staring at him defiantly. He seemed shocked, and almost appalled, to see my face.
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "By Calypso, not another Mary Sue!"
“Who are you?” he asked.
ZeldaQueen: Your worst nightmare. No really, she is
“I am Katherine Marina Sparrow, the wife of Captain Jack Sparrow.
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "And why should I care about that?"
Oh, and even more of that disturbing possessiveness that Victoria Todd showed. "My husband", "wife of", yes Gethesemane, we know your avatars have boinked Johnny Depp the objects of your desire. Shut up about it now
I know of your bargain with him, and I command a trade.”
ZeldaQueen: (Kate) "I'm the head Sue here, and you'd just better do what I tell you!"
“Captain Jack Sparrow sent you over here as well?” Jones asked, thoroughly annoyed.
ZeldaQueen: I actually can understand him being annoyed. Will announcing that he's come to settle the debt is amusing to him. When a second person shows up, saying "I'm here to sell myself in the place of Jack", one just starts to wonder "Okay, how many people did Jack send over?"
I shook my head. “I’ve come of my own accord.”
ZeldaQueen: For no reason, I might add. Oh wait, there was a reason. You needed to horn in on the action and boink Jones while you're at it
“Name your terms then, Sparrow.”
ZeldaQueen: (Kate) "You must make me the queen of this fandom, you must have sex with me whenever I command, and you must completely forget the names of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner"
“I want to exchange my life for Jack’s.”
ZeldaQueen: Okay, isn't that what Will just offered? Gethesemane, I don't care if you toot the "Kate did it willingly" horn, it just looks lazy and like a hack job, which is most appropriate because it is
He chuckled, a cold laugh that sent shivers down my spine. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“And why not?”
“I don’t offer substitutions. Jack has a debt to be repaid, and he alone is responsible for it.
ZeldaQueen: You know, normally I would point out that Jones seemed to find it amusing when Will took the offer up, and immediately started planning on how to use it to his advantage and fuck with Sparrow some more, and how he ought to be pleased as punch at the thought of Jack apparently selling his wife's soul to save himself. I happen to know what will go on between the Sue and Jones though, so I'm just glad he's keeping distance between himself and her -
Though, you are welcome aboard my ship.”
ZeldaQueen: - never mind.
And why would he keep her on board if he's not taking her as payment? He takes sailors who are dead or dying, and Kate is - unfortunately - neither
I glared. “So you’re a coward now, are you? Afraid of a woman?”
ZeldaQueen: Okay, excuse me but what part of Jone's line, exactly, implied that he was afraid of her? If anything, he was condescending!
Seriously Gethesemane, stop it. Just because your self insert has a vagina doesn't mean she can go around using it as an excuse to pick fights with people
His black eyes suddenly flared to an angry blue, and he grabbed my neck with his clawed arm.
“I am afraid of no one,” he hissed.
ZeldaQueen: And he promptly tossed her overboard into the Kraken's gaping maw. The end
He turned to one of his nightmarish crew members, and threw me to him.
ZeldaQueen: I hope it was the shark man, and I hope he eats her.
Actually, did she specify that the crew members of the Dutchman look like sea creatures? No, she didn't. Great, another Suethor who forgets what she did and didn't specify
“Lock the wench in the brig,” he commanded coldly.
ZeldaQueen: Okaaaay, why? No, seriously, why? He has no reason to keep her around. He outright said he wasn't going to barter with Jack, so there's no reason to keep her around. And it's not like he needs a hostage, since the Kraken can find Jack anywhere
I struggled against the crew member, and glared once again at Jones. “Before this is over, I will kill you.”
ZeldaQueen: No you won't. You've done absolutely nothing of any sort of value for this plot
He chuckled, not seeming at all phased by my threat. “You just keep telling yourself that, Missy. You’re a fool, Katherine Sparrow, for trying to trade your life for Jack’s.”
ZeldaQueen: I know he's going to go downhill real fast, but I like Jones right now. He's pretty much taking the words right out of my mouth
I struggled fruitlessly against my captor as he dragged me down into the heart of the phantom ship, and cursed as he threw me into the brig.
ZeldaQueen: I have this beautiful image of her bouncing off of the wall
He slammed the gate, and cackled as he said, “Jones’ll be lucky to have both ye and yer husband.”
ZeldaQueen: Again, why does he want her? I'm honestly not joking here. I can think of no reason at all why Jones would have any desire for her soul. The only reason he kept Will was because he wanted to dick around with Jack
I watched helplessly as he locked the door, and made his way up the stairs. I sank to my knees, sobbing. I had failed my husband after I had sworn to protect him. He was going to die because of me.
ZeldaQueen: Boo-hoo-hoo, yes of course. Jack's totally going to die. And hey, Sweeney was totally going to die in Salvation and Audra was totally going to die in Seven Days
