Beckett raised a wry eyebrow. "Experience, Mr. Jones," he replied simply before turning away.

Bootstrap continued to watch as Jack discovered his new 'developments.' Sighing, he glanced impatiently at the door of the cabin. They'd be missed soon, and he didn't fancy dealing with Jones at the present. "Ye had t' look, didn' ye, Jack?" he asked dryly, still maintaining a safe distance from the mirror himself. "There's a reason we don' keep mirrors 'round th' Dutchman, y'know. Sometimes it's jus' best not t' know what ye've become."

Jones' snarled and he watched Beckett walk away.
"Bo'sun!" He bellowed out across the deck, turning his neck around in a violent jerk, meeting eyes with the crewman, "Fetch'a me Bootstrap B'ill and Jack'a Sparr'aw!"
_______________
Jack Sparrow leaned forward into the mirror, staring back at what himself had grown into.
His mind was bloking some of Bill's words, but he did hear a few.
"What is this?...." Jack reached up his arm and gently tugged a pull on one of the jellyfish tentacles coming from his head, "OW!"

Jimmylegs grinned malisciously. "Aye, Cap'n," he snarled before disappearing into the mast of the ship.
The bo'sun quickly emerged in the far corner of the cabin but remained concealed in the shadows, much as Bootstrap had done, preferring to merely observe the scene before him for the time being.
"'S called a tentacle, Jack," Bootstrap replied patiently, as if speaking to a small child. "An' yes, as ye've jus' discovered, it's real...Consider yerself lucky, mate. These-" he paused to indicate the rigid growths coming out of his back and shoulders and the barnacles everywhere else "-are much more painful when they decide t' grow."

Jack rapidly let go of the squishy tentacle, and quickly lowered his arm by his side.
"Bloody strange..." he turned around and glanced back, noticing even more growths there.
"So,..." Jack started towards Bill, "...to be completely honest with me, exactly how long does this last before said-"
Here he shuddered as he lifted another jellyfish tentacle from his head and continued uneasily, "-before these said 'new' additions gladly disappear?"

Bootstrap hesitated slightly. "...They don't, Jack," he finally said awkwardly. "Ye jus' get more. The longer ye serve, th' more...'additions.' I've got more than you, Clanker's got more'n me, an' so on an' so forth, all th' way to Wyvern."

Jack plopped his arm back down to his side, and slumped his shoulders, "Well, tecnically I shouldn't even be gettin' these new 'additions' seeing that said Captain of the Flying Dutchman, has made an aweful mistake with said pirate, making said false bet..."
He finished and looked over Bill with digust, "Well, I don't see how much worse I can get than ye...could ye?"

"I won't argue with ye 'bout this again, Jack," Bootstrap said wearily. "Ye made that deal, fair an' square. It was yer choice. A stupid choice, but yer choice nonetheless...An' I haven't a clue how much worse I could get. I've made a point o' avoidin' mirrors for...well...a bit o'er a decade now, I imagine. See, there aren't really many mirrors at th' bottom o' the sea, nor light for that matter, an' now...I jus' don't want t' know. I'm content rememberin' how I did look, 'fore all this happened."

Barboss was walking, Tia had left him a while back. He didn't see where she went, nor was he exactly sure where he wanted to know. He entered the Faithful Bride. And went searching for the Allies they needed.

Norrington, had crossed over the plank that was between the Endeavor and the Dutchman to find Beckett, wondering how long before Beckett's master plan was carried out. He was more then eager to get going. Finally getting rid of the rest of the Pirates.
"Milord, do we have orders?" He asked upon finally finding Beckett on the Endeavor.

Jack's eyes moved side to side for a short moment, but he spoke up again, "Well, looks as if today is yer lucky day mate!"
He gave an over exaggerated jerk of the neck towards the mirror and a fancy raise of his eyebrows.

Beckett raised an eyebrow in surprise at the sudden reappearance of the admiral. "Only those which I have already given you, Admiral," he replied. "Do what you can to uncover any pirate activity in these parts, and deal with it as you see fit. You will have more specific instructions once I obtain the necessary commissions."

Bootstrap folded his arms stubbornly. "I said avoidin', mate," he argued. "Which indicates a conscious choice on my part t' stay away. I don't want t' know what I look like."

Jack mocked Bootstrap by also folding his arms, but in a more lazy fashion. "One word mate...curiosity. You long for your reflection. You'll long to do what you want to do because you want it. To act on selfish impulse...and I 'ave a feelin' ye won't want to resist today."
He grinned ever so cocky-like before he gave another jerk towards the mirror, and took a step closer to Bootstrap.

"I'll manage," Bootstrap replied flatly, staring stoically at the pirate before him. "Not all o' us are as curious as you."

Jack frowned, sat for a while and thought to himself just how he was going to make this stump of barnacles to move.
"Ah hah!" he finally proclaimed with wide spastic eyes and a loppy smirk.
Jack Sparrow saunted forward, poked out his index finger, and slowly started to reach it out towards Bill's arm.

Bootstrap glanced down at the shorter pirate. "Jack, we really ought t' be returnin'," he pleaded, edging uncomfortably away from Jack's outstretched hand. He hadn't been too severely hurt in either of his last two encounters with Jack's newfound trick, but he still wasn't too keen on experiencing it again. "We've no doubt already been missed, an' there'll be 'ell t' pay with Jones if 'e's angry. Ye've already learned that lesson once before...I'll look some other time, aye? Next time we're 'round a mirror?"
