((Okay, guess he's officially mine *claimeths*))
Bootstrap sat despondently on the floor of the brig, his barnacled back resting against the cell bars as he stared at the wall. Suddenly, the sealife-encrusted wall began to move, and an old, weathered face emerged.
"Go away, Wyvern," Bootstrap muttered. Picking up a small crab that had crawled away from his arm, he tossed it halfheartedly at the wooden face.
"Still...alive," the old sailor managed to say. "Tell no tales."
"What?"
"Captain's orders."
"Yer talkin' bloody nonsense again..."
In response, Wyvern simply looked toward the doorway and disappeared back into the wall.
Moments later, Maccus appeared in the brig, keys in hand. "Cap'n says yer t' meet him on deck," he snarled, pulling Bootstrap roughly out of the cell.
As he was forced up the stairs, Bootstrap wondered what could have compelled Jones to relinquish his punishment so quickly...Unless it meant another flogging...Stumbling onto the deck, he realized they weren't alone. The crew and Captain Jones were standing there, surrounding two new arrivals. The first, he immediately recognized as Jack. Not too surprising... Frowning, he turned his attention to the other... No!
Staggering slightly from the shock, Bootstrap stared at the young man with dread. "...William!"
((And for the record, I had to type this post THREE TIMES because the forum kept messing up.  ))

Jack's eyes met the face of Bootstrap and it sent his in a tight digusted expression as he looked over the man.
Bootstrap had become more deformed looking than the last time Jack had seen him, which wasn't too long ago.
Jack slipped behind Will in a sway of his back, and peeked out from behind Will's shoulder. Seeing Bootstrap in this condition made him rethink the deal he had just made with Jones....well, one thing was for sure, he didn't want to end up looking like old Bill here.

Will's dark brown eyes shifted up and down as Bootstrap approached. His heart sank......knowing that he would have to tell his father these terrible options that were offered to him.
Will turned to Davy and said, "Jones, can my father and I speak alone? Privately?" His eyes were sad and disappointed.

Bootstrap nodded imperceptibly, still recovering from the shock. He'd gone from mourining for his dead son, to overwhelming joy at seeing said son alive again, to despair upon realizing the only possible reason for the young man's presence. Without speaking, he grabbed Will's arm and led him below deck.
As soon as they were alone and the cabin's door was closed, Bootstrap turned angrily toward his son. "What happened to findin' land an' stayin' there?" he choked, fighting back the salty tears that threatened to well up in his eyes. "I asked one very simple thing of ye, lad. Why didn't ye do it?"

Jack bent his brows at the tentacled face of Davey Jones. He gave a pouty lip as he watched old Bill and young William disappear below.
Jack swallowed hard and shifted his weight uneasily. The Flying Dutchman's crew stared deep into his eyes, as if they were yearning at his appearance, remembering what it was like not to be deformed, and barnacled as the way they were now.

(Turwaitheil, I don't know about the longboats....sorry...)
Will's eyes welled up with tears as well, but he fought them back just as his father did. "I only came back to save Jack from being dragged to the depths by the kraken! Don't you understand? I listened to what you said....but couldn't see another man be tortured in that way!"
Will was angered and his body shook. His lip quivered and he turned his gaze away from his father. By the sign of Will's body language....anyone could tell he was hiding something. Sadness overwhelmed Will and he sank down to the floor and put his hands over his head.

Bootstrap rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and looked down at his son. Seeing the boy -Man, he corrected himself- so despondent reminded him vaguely of when Will was a lad. Of course, Will had been much smaller then, and he himself hadn't been quite so...barnacled, but he was no less inept at this parenting business now than he had been then. Sighing defeatedly, Bootstrap sunk down to the floor alongside Will. "At least tell me ye didn't swear an oath, Will," he finally whispered hoarsely, looking his son in the eyes. "Tell me ye didn't."

Will kept his face to the floor. He fought back the tears furiously, but even though he was trying with all his might.................they began to flow on his cheeks and down his neck.
After sitting in silence for a while, Will finally lifted his head and looked deep into Bootstrap's eyes. Will's eyes were bloodshot and angry as tears fell out. "Father..................I need to tell you something......" Will then sniffed. "Davy has only given me two options........one........I serve 100 years on this ship with you.....................or two........you go free.......and I would serve in your stead for 100 years........but you would die."
Will then wiped his tears away and tried to act like a man but looked much like a small boy, "I made a promise! I will not abandon you, but I don't know what to do."
