((All right. We're doing PotC 1. I guess we can start now, we have most of the most important characters now. We'll start when Jack comes to Port Royal)
Jack stood on the ship he 'borrowed' from Anna-Maria as he sailed into Port Royal. He glanced down at the deck of the tiny boat. It was filling up with water. He jumped down and found a bucket, trying to bail water out. He looked up and saw three bodies hanging from nooses, and a sign saying
"Pirates, ye be warned." He saluted them, and then climbed back to the top of the boat. The boat sank as it came to dock. He stepped onto the docks, and made for town.
"Hold up you! It's a shilling to tie your boat up to the dock. And I shall need to know your name." said the dock manager to Jack. Jack looked at the mast the tiny boat, the only thing visible above the water, then back at the dock manager.
"What do you say to three shillings, and we forget the name?" said Jack, putting the coins in the book in the dock manager's hands.
"Welcome to Port Royal Mr. Smith." said the dock manager.

Looking around at the boats in the docks, Jack saw one that caught his eye. A British Navy vessel, the Interceptor. As he walked down the dock, two men of the British Navy rushed forward and blocked his path.
"This dock is off limits to civilians." said one of them.
"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately." said Jack, attempting to side step the two men, but they cut him off again.
"Apparently there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen, such as yourselves, did not merit an invitation?” asked Jack of the two men.
"Someone has to make sure that this dock stays of limits to civilians." said Murtogg.
"It's a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me... that a ship like that, makes this one here seem a bit superfluous, really." said Jack, gesturing to the Dauntless.
"Aye, the dauntless is the pair in these waters, fair enough, but there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed." said Murtogg.
"I've heard of one. It's supposed to be very fast, neigh uncatchable. The Black Pearl?" said Jack.
"There's no real ship, that can match the interceptor." said Mullroy, laughing.
"The Black Pearl is a real ship." said Murtogg.
"No. No it's not." said Mullroy.
"Yes it is, I've seen it."
"You've seen a ship, with black sails, that's crewed by the damned, captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out?"
As the two men argued, Jack slipped aboard the Interceptor.
"Like I said. There's no real ship that can match the Intercep..." said Mullroy, looking back to where Jack had been standing. Rushing onto the ship, the two men shouted at Jack and raised their guns.
"Hey! You don't have permission to be aboard there mate."
"I'm sorry, but, it's just such a pretty boat. Ship." said Jack.
"What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?" said Mullroy.
"Yeah, and no lies." said Murtogg.
"Sparrow: Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out." said Jack.
"I said no lies!"
"I think he's telling the truth."
"If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us."
"Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you." Said Jack.
