(real quick, i'll start on this post...hold on a sec!)

EDIT:

The wind howled as the dark sea flowed against the water-soaked rocks of the shores. The ships where floating utop the ocean in the ports as light rain hit the small port and last pirate port of Tortuga. One of the ships ported, was the most famous Black Pearl, captained by the even more famous Captain Jack Sparrow. And he was going to get an surprise indeed.
An dark figure walked through the mud-covered streets of Tortuga, wearing an old pair of black pants and small black boots laced up tight for storms to keep your footing. The figure wore an long white shirt but it was covered by the long black cloak that covered most of the figured body. The figure was female and her long black hair was tied into an braid, her face was rain streaken for she did not wear the hood on her cloak. In her right hand was an rolled up piece of parchment, that would change her life and the crew she belong on forever.
Lee Stone was the young woman's name, for she was only 14 and a mere girl in many sailors eyes. She walked up to an tavern and entered it, by the name of Black Skull Tavern. In the back room with the door shut sat Captain Jack Sparrow and his first mate, Mr. Gibbs. Lee knocked on the door then entered, wipping her face with her sleeve after she took off her dripping wet cloak.
Jack looked at her and smiled, "Well lass, what do me owe this honor to see ye before cast off tomorrow?" Lee sighed and said, "Cap'ten, I think we should change course towards an little island of the port in Port Royal." Jack raised his eyebrow but let Lee continue, "Alright. I was talking with an couple of sailors and I found out about an old tale of an ship...an ship without an name, without an Captain, and without an crew, but it is said to be more fearsome than the Phantom Dutchmen and has more speed than the Pearl herself. Now, the ship is said to be anchored in the middle of the Seven Seas. And, there is an beast more terrible than the Kraken gaurding it." She took an deep breathe as Gibbs took an seat and continued,
"No Pirate has ever made it to where the ship actually lies, but none of them had this." She layed down the piece of parchment she had been carrying in her hand. It was an small piece of an map that had been torn off an large map and it showed Port Royal, but off to the side there was an red dot on an small unnamed island. "This map is one of the seven maps that reveal the name of the beast gaurding the ship and the ships excact location. Jack, if we can find all the pieces of the map and you become the Captain of the ship, you will be unbeatable." When Jack looked like he was about to deny, Lee added,
"You and Gibbs know better than anybody else that the Royal Navy's ships are getting faster and more armed. Soon they will be able to launch an attack on the Pirates of the Seas, killing the few of us that are left here. This ship," She said, putting her finger down on the map, "is the only answer to keep the life of an pirate alive." She finally sighed and looked hopefully at Jack and awaited his answer.

Drake sat in the shadow of the room, eyebrow raised. A nameless, captainless ship anchored in the seven seas. It sounded unbelievable, but Drake believed it. She scratched his head, making his messy red hair even messier. He believed the story, and told it to others, but they didn't believe him...

(cool)

Lee looked at Gibbs and Jack, whom had been whispering to each other for sometime now. She couldn't help but glancing over at the corner...so dark...but she alway kept her eyes on the map.

Another figure came quickly in out of the wind, swathed in an oversized black coat and hat. As she removed it and shook our her long blonde curls, she caught sight of the small group in the corner and strode over.
"Well, well, if it isn't Captain Jack Sparrow..." she said with a grin. "How's life been treating you?"

Portia was out looking over Port Royal from the crows nest in the Black Pearl. She had her cloak on over her regular clothing. Her black pants, brown boots and big, white shirt.

The rain was coming down harder than before, but she didn't care. She had overcome rain that was much more harsh than this in the ocean. She folded her arms and sighed.

This was getting a bit too boring for her.

She grabbed onto the side of the rope and slid down it to the deck, since it was so slick. She landed on her feet with a CLUNK and then walked down onto the dock.

Lee glanced down and then muttered, "Let's say my sword isn't so...um...out of use as it was." SHe hoped that explained enough.

In the tavern outside where Jack and Gibbs held their meeting, Pintel and Ragetti were having the time of their lives. Surrounded by a rowdy crowd of rapt onlookers, the two pirates stared with penetrating intensity at a pair of dice they'd just thrown. The dice rolled twice, then landed with finality on their respective sides.

Two sixes.

Pintel erupted into a fit of his trademark maniacal laughter as Ragetti pointed a dirty finger at the thugs across the table. "Yer owin' us!"

The thugs exchanged none too happy glances. They looked forlornly from their dwindling coin pouches to Ragetti's triumphant face. To further complicate matters, half the crowd was yelling for them to relinquish their money, while the other half was edging on the impending brawl.

"We won," Ragetti stated, a stupid grin plastered on his stupid face. "We'll be takin' our earnings now, if ye don't mind."

Isobel quickly craned her neck to catch a glimpse of the scrap of paper. "Is that - ?" she started to say, but kept quiet, shooting a glance at Lee. About ten questions immediately clustered on the tip of her tongue but she merely raised an eyebrow and shook water off her hat.

"As you are so adept at?" interjected Isobel smoothly. "Is that scrap of paper what I think it is, or are you all so hushed and reverent about nothing?" she continued sarcastically.

Portia walked down the wooden dock slowly. She was definitely taking her time. She knew that Jack would be in Port Royal for quite some time. Whenever he had negotiating, that meant a long time in one place. She had to find something to do and fast.

She then saw a couple of men trying to grab ahold of a poor young woman. She gave a toothy grin and walked toward them.

The rain came down harder.
