((Frodo and Eruraina, ye both understand how to play the game, aye? Seeing as we're about to do so, now would be the time to ask questions.))

"Given the list o' sins I've yet to make ammends for, I think hypocracy should be th' least o' my concerns, lad," Bootstrap commented dryly, keeping his eyes on Jones. "I wager my son's freedom against an eternity of servitude."

((Oh, and yes, I know he doesn't have a soul with which to bargain.))

Jack took out a sigh of relief as the crew members that were surrounding him, had turned their attention to now Bootstrap.

Jack didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was quite amusing. His dark underlined eyes scanned back and forth waiting for someone to speak.

Will blinked blankly at first and then turned his head sharply toward Jones. "Count me in as well Davey! And if I win....I am set free. I will never suffer on this cursed ship," Will said harshly.

He then walked away from his father toward Jones with fear rising inside of him.

"William, don't!" Bootstrap protested quietly, pulling Will off to the side again. "If I've told ye once, I've told ye a thousand times: stop puttin' me first! If I go free, there's little I can do to help ye. It'd be a miracle if I even survived, seein' as I'm not exactly accustomed to mortality. But if you go free, ye have a chance to do somethin'. Ye at least have an idea where the heart is, an' ye have better means of findin' it even if ye don't know. The greatest freedom I can hope for right now is bein' free of concern for yer well-being. Get yerself freed first, then worry about me. Emotions are a valuable thing, lad, but ye can't let them get in the way of logical thinking. Use yer head on this one, not yer heart."

"For the love of Davey Jones! Figure yerselves out!" Jack blurted out, but then suddenly realized what he had said at the beginning of his sentence and he snapped his glance towards the swelled squid head, which was Davey Jones, "Uh, no pun intended, savvy?"

Bootstrap sighed in exasperation. "Blame his mother," he muttered. "Heaven knows 'e didn't get 'is stubborn noble streak from me."

Will snapped sharply at Bootstrap and said, "Even though my mother was noble, she was a respectable woman who obeyed the law and loved her son in a way I never had from you." Will shook with anger. Apparently he still had a lot of hard feelings toward his father since he learned he was a pirate and that he abandoned him.

(Uh, do you want me to join in Liar's Dice....or do you want it only between you and Jones?)

((Aye, do join. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit self-contradictory at the moment. It's kinda hard to direct a plot that your own character is somewhat opposed to :blink:))

Bootstrap blinked in surprise and turned back to face Will. He really didn't feel up to discussing this now... "I already explained myself once, lad, an' I don't intend to again. I have no excuse for my actions, but what's done is done. No sense livin' in the past."

Jack watched the two Turner's go at each other. He folded his arms and a silly smirk plastered itself on Sparrow's face.

((I mostly know how to play. I played it a little with my dad, but he had to help me a bit))

Davy stood there, watching. "Have ye' made y're desision or not?" he demanded, "I get what you get if ye' win, but what if ye' loose? Ye' choose the bargain since ye' challenged me.."

((Well, just pm me if you need help. I taught myself how to play, and I'm 99% percent sure I fully understand it))

"I wager an eternity of servitude," Bootstrap said, turning back to face the captain.

"I will do this father...even though you do not wish me to do this...I will do it and you cannot stop me," Will said with a determined face.

"Jones, I will take the challenge as well. Shall we begin?" Will smiled with confidence...although deep inside he was shaking.

"I accept ye' challenge, Turners. Set up the game right here," Jones called out. Quikly a few of the crew had braught three stools, a table, all barnicled and slimy. On the table were three barnicled cups, each with five dice in them. Davy waited for Bootstrap, and Will to sit down first...

Will walked toward the table and sat down first. As he slowly sank into his chair, he stared Davey in the eye.

He then grabbed his cup with the die in it and began to shake it.
