[21:57] WakeUpBreakOut: ::could always harass Sam, informally. after all, he'll probably end up one of the Flight's crew members, now won't he?:: [21:58] al73r3g0: (Sam) *HIDES. IN A BARREL.* [21:58] al73r3g0: and yes he would XD [21:58] al73r3g0: well, will [21:58] al73r3g0: to both things [21:59] WakeUpBreakOut: ::totally knows he's there. looms over the barrel. considers pincushioning it with his sword. just for fun:: >:D [21:59] al73r3g0: XD [21:59] al73r3g0: BARREL ATTACK. [21:59] al73r3g0: *Relives Donkey Kong* [21:59] WakeUpBreakOut: ::SNERKS:: [22:00] WakeUpBreakOut: ::taps on the side of the barrel with his sword. tap. tap. tap:: [22:00] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Says nothing. Does nothing. Kind of scared out of his wits, here.* .oO(Pleasegoawaypleasegoawaypleasegoaway) [22:00] al73r3g0: Poor Sam XD [22:01] WakeUpBreakOut: Now, the question is ... is there a lid on the barrel or not? [22:01] al73r3g0: Um... [22:01] al73r3g0: Sure, why not. [22:01] WakeUpBreakOut: ::right then. totally prying off the top of the barrel with his sword. smirks down at Sam:: 'lo, mate. [22:02] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...eep. [22:02] WakeUpBreakOut: Now, let's say you get out of that barrel. Promise I won't hurt you. [22:02] al73r3g0: And now, we have WWJD; What Would Jack Do? [22:02] WakeUpBreakOut: ::GIGGLES:: [22:03] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...kay. [22:03] al73r3g0: *Needs smaller font for terrified!Sam* [22:03] WakeUpBreakOut: ::giggles:: [22:04] WakeUpBreakOut: ::steps back away from the barrel, so Sam can climb out. and even though he's evil, he's an honourable bad guy. if this were D&D, he'd be Lawful Evil. therefore, will not hurt Sam. .... ..... for the time being:: [22:04] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Hesitates, then climbs out slowly, keeping o_o eyes on Will* *Would also be Lawful Good, but not Lawful Stupid. Lawful Coward, maybe, but he's trying to get over that.* [22:06] WakeUpBreakOut: ::leans back on something - the mast - sword at his side, nonthreateningly. wonders idly if Sam recognizes him since he's all magiccreepyevil. hm. peers at him, trying to decide:: [22:07] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...........*blink* [22:07] WakeUpBreakOut: ::eyebrow raise, as if to say, "May I help you?":: [22:09] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...Mister Will? [22:09] WakeUpBreakOut: ::smirks:: So you do recognize me. [22:09] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...so it is you... [22:10] WakeUpBreakOut: Who else would it be? ::and slowly, with each word following, the smirk slides slowly into a sneer:: You did, after all, leave me to die when the Dutchman came for us. [22:11] al73r3g0: (Sam) I did not! *Seems to realize who, rather, what he's talking to, shuts up quickly* [22:11] WakeUpBreakOut: Oh, no? Then what would you consider it? [22:12] WakeUpBreakOut: ::watches him, eyes hard:: [22:12] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...I didn't want to leave. *Takes a step back, bumps into barrel, glances down at it before looking back up* [22:14] WakeUpBreakOut: Then why didn't you stop the others from leaving. Why didn't you stop Jack? Or Elizabeth? Or Barbossa? Or anyone. ::is, sort of like a wild animal in this case - as Sam take a step back, he can't help but take a step forward. it's reaction:: [22:15] al73r3g0: (Sam) How could I have!? They wouldn't have listened to me... [22:15] WakeUpBreakOut: ::his voice building volume with every word:: You could at least have tried. [22:16] al73r3g0: ((Idly: these clips of venture brothers make me want to watch it now.)) [22:16] al73r3g0: (Sam) *silent* [22:16] WakeUpBreakOut: ((::GRINS::)) [22:17] WakeUpBreakOut: ::his voice normal volume again:: I, apparently, don't rank. Were it Jack, you all would have got back instantly, like the dogs you are. [22:17] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Quickly* That's not it at all. [22:18] WakeUpBreakOut: Oh, no? ::takes another step forward, shoulders hunched, threateningly:: Explain it to me, then. [22:19] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Another step back* I...you...they....*obviously unable to find words* [22:20] WakeUpBreakOut: Again, I don't rank. ::step:: [22:21] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Running out of room to step backwards, realizes this* >< It's not that. They...we thought you were gone. [22:22] al73r3g0: (Sam) If they knew there was any chance that you were still alive...they would have stayed. I know it! [22:23] al73r3g0: ((...for some reason, I can see Sam being good friends with Mr Cotton...'s parrot. Or both. XD)) [22:24] WakeUpBreakOut: ::offers a bitter snort of a laugh:: Either way, by doing nothing, they damned me to Jones' crew. He takes the dead - they knew that. ::pauses, and then, lowly:: Tell, me, Sam ... have you ever fought a dead man? [22:24] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...no...*hoping he won't have to* [22:26] WakeUpBreakOut: ::hope all you want. but were Will able to read thoughts, he'd have an applicable adage for Sam: abandon hope all ye who enter here. levels his sword at Sam - and because Al feels the need to note this, the sword is just as changed as he is, rusted and barnacle encrusted, but still sharp:: ... Have you ever fought at all? [22:30] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Would have response adage; yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Seems to...get a little less high-strung, maybe accepting the inevitability* ...aye, sir. *Doesn't think it would be a good idea to mention that Jack taught him, considering Will's current state* [22:31] WakeUpBreakOut: Mm. Good. Perhaps this will be a challenge, then. ::little eyebrow shrug thing:: [22:31] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Silent for a minute, then;* You hate me. [22:33] WakeUpBreakOut: ::laughs, hard, though the sound is somehow humourless. and, once he's regained himself:: Don't take it personally ... I hate everyone. [22:33] al73r3g0: (Sam) Even yourself? [22:33] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Stalling; hoping someone else wakes up* [22:35] WakeUpBreakOut: ::well, even if no one else does ... Sam definitely just saved his own skin by saying that. why? because there's a flicker of something over Will's face, through his eyes ... something of the old Will. of the real Will. of Will before he submitted himself to Davy Jones. doesn't say a word, however, just stands there for a moment, face a sea of emotions:: [22:36] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Takes a hesitant step forwards* There's still hope, Mi...Will. We'll come back for you. We can help you. [22:37] WakeUpBreakOut: ::quietly, so quiet, in fact, that unless Sam strains, the words will be lost to the wind:: Best make it fast ... else there won't be much left to help. ::and then he's gone. poof. just like that:: [22:39] al73r3g0: (Sam) ......*slumps against the barrel, finding it very hard to support himself now that this is over.* [22:41] WakeUpBreakOut: ::meanwhile. was hiding in the doorway that leads down below deck, watching and listening. might seem heartless that she didn't come to Sam's aid, or try and talk some sense into Will ... but there's reason for everything she does, even if it's not apparent right away. anyway, comes out of hiding, pading across the deck barefoot, and flops down next to him:: [22:43] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Hears her, turns his head to look at her...then looks away* [22:43] WakeUpBreakOut: ... Y'did well. [22:44] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...mmf. [22:44] WakeUpBreakOut: ::offers a little smile:: An' y'tink me heartless fer not helpin'. [22:45] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...no. I didn't know you were there. *telling the truth, but not really answering the question* [22:48] WakeUpBreakOut: Mm. ::watches him quietly, her eyes half-lidded, as if she's half there and half somewhere else. which knowing her, might just be the case:: [22:48] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Softly* We really did abandon him, didn't we. [22:50] WakeUpBreakOut: ::slowly, but neither sadly nor regretfully:: In a way, yes. But him abandoned himself, too. [22:50] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Looks at her, confused* [22:52] WakeUpBreakOut: William Turner ... him gave up. Him coulda kept fightin' like him father. [22:53] al73r3g0: (Sam) He-!...*stops. tries again* If I...if there was no hope, either... [22:54] WakeUpBreakOut: Ah, but dere be hope yet. This? This a lesson for William Turner. But he come back t'us. [22:54] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...him...or...him? *has an idea that she has an idea of what he means by that* [22:55] WakeUpBreakOut: ((... Ok. Tia would understand what he meant by that, but I don't. Was he asking whether it would be Will or evil!Will that came back? Or ... ?)) [22:55] al73r3g0: ((Exactly.)) [22:56] al73r3g0: ((XD sorry.)) [22:56] WakeUpBreakOut: ((S'cool. XD)) [22:59] WakeUpBreakOut: Dat not da last we see'a him ... but eventually ... ::reaches out to brush her fingers over Sam's chest, where his heart is:: ... da real William Turner ... we get him back. ::the gesture, while Sam might not have understood it had a couple of meanings. first, that Will had to square with the issues weighed on his heart before they'd get him back. second, that Sam - and all of them need to be strong, because it's not over yet. and well ... there's a third meaning there, but Tia refuses to have it be emoted. if Raquel can guess, Al will let her know she got it ... and Raquel's hint is this: it has to do with the question Al asked her the other night:: [23:00] al73r3g0: ((Ok, in response to that, I have the WORST MEMORY EVER. Which night was this?)) [23:00] WakeUpBreakOut: ((::giggles:: Um. Honestly, I don't remember. But it was me asking what someone's reaction would be to something.)) [23:01] al73r3g0: ((...oooooh.)) [23:01] al73r3g0: ((Ohohoho.)) [23:01] al73r3g0: ((About the swap?)) [23:01] WakeUpBreakOut: ((Yep.)) [23:01] al73r3g0: ((YAY I WIN)) [23:02] WakeUpBreakOut: ((One way or another, Tia's gonna try to turn the situation to her advantage. If Davy says yes to the swap, she'll go and get them Will back. If he says no, she'll find a way to use the suggestion as a distraction so the Flight crew and drag Will off the ship.)) [23:02] al73r3g0: ((Heh. Like I said, a lot of Davy's reaction is going to be on how it's proposed.)) [23:02] al73r3g0: ((But that what the crap icon WILL be used XD)) [23:03] WakeUpBreakOut: ((XD)) [23:04] al73r3g0: (Sam) *looks down to her fingers. Might have been very disturbed by the action when he first met Tia, isn't so much anymore though the hair on the back of his neck does prickle a bit* ...I hope so. [23:06] WakeUpBreakOut: Don' hope. Know. t'll happen. ::firm nod:: [23:06] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...I just wish that it...wouldn't have had to happen at all. He... *sighs, looks away again* ...it must be horrible. [23:07] al73r3g0: *hadn't had to happen [23:07] al73r3g0: (sorry) [23:08] al73r3g0: ((He's saying that he wished it never happened in the first place :P)) [23:08] WakeUpBreakOut: ::nods, sympathetically:: It is. ::pauses:: But ... it needed to happen. [23:08] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Frowns* Needed? [23:13] WakeUpBreakOut: Him heart - ::touches her own, this time:: - touched by pain. Him feel betrayed, forgotten ... even before Davy Jones snatch him up. Anger like dat? ::shakes her head, the beads in her hair clacking quietly:: No good for where we be goin'. Him need t'square wit it. An' realize dat him friends - me, you, Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann - bring him back from da brink'a madness wedder him want it or not. An' when him realize dat? Dat we made a mistake in leavin' him ... him cause be resolved. Him realize him not alone. Him walk wit us, rather'n feelin' like him be walkin' behind an' fallin' behind. [23:15] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Surprised by being included on the list of Will's 'friends', but sort of understands the rest; nods slowly* Still...it couldn't have happened...any other way? [23:16] WakeUpBreakOut: Mebbe. But dis is how it happen. An' dis is how it get better. [23:17] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Another stretch of silence, just looking out over the ocean* ...how much did you hear? [23:18] WakeUpBreakOut: All'a it. Made sure him not know I was dere. [23:19] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...*still doesn't think her heartless for not stepping in, just wonders if she planned on stepping in at all, especially if things got dangerous* [23:20] WakeUpBreakOut: ::can't read minds, but can read expression:: F'he'd laid a hand on you ... or f'I'd'a thought he was thinkin' it ... ::gives him a look, as if to explain without words that she would have stepped in and stopped him:: [23:22] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...I'm pretty sure he was thinking it. I...just want to know why he approached me, and not someone else. I hardly know him...and he could have waited until I was off watch if he wanted to scare somebody. [23:27] WakeUpBreakOut: If'd he'da been thinkin' it in earnest, it would'a been done. You know well's I, William Turner s'not a patient man ... 'sides. He gave you him word. ::pauses, and then:: ... As for why him choose you ... he tink you not able to talk 'em outta what he was doin'. Tink if, mebbe, he go to Jack Sparrow or Elizabeth Swann, de try an' reason with 'em. An' dat only make 'em angry, when what small part'a him heart dat remains not wanna hurt 'em. So he come t'you. Push you around. Feel big. Feel like he doin' Davy Jones a favor ... issuin' a warnin' ... but you catch 'em off guard. ::smiles at him:: An' good for it. [23:29] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...I just knew that if I was in his position, I'd hate myself, too, maybe. But I don't think I ever could be. I...I think I would rather die than be like that. *Hand strays to string around neck; on it, is a small cross. Mun notes she should add that to desc on his GJ* [23:31] WakeUpBreakOut: Mm. You say dat now, an' I don' doubt your faith ... but William Turner ... him be wanin' before he meet Davy Jones. And Davy Jones have a way'a twistin' people ... makin' 'em believe all dere friends an' dere faith for nothin'. [23:31] WakeUpBreakOut: ((::amused by the fact that Tia calls everyone by their full name::)) [23:31] al73r3g0: ((Hee.)) [23:32] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...so he's like a vulture, then. [23:32] WakeUpBreakOut: Mmhm. [23:33] WakeUpBreakOut: Da dead, dey easy for him ... serve on him ship, avoid God an' hellfire. William Turner easy, too ... avoid hurt an' betrayal. [23:33] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Furrows brow* But he can't hold on to them forever, can he. *not really a question* [23:34] WakeUpBreakOut: ::shakes her head, regardless:: No. [23:34] al73r3g0: ((No as in no he can't or no as in no, he can?)) [23:35] WakeUpBreakOut: ((No as in he can't. Sorry.)) [23:35] al73r3g0: ((Ok. Just making sure. ^^ I'm slow sometimes.)) [23:35] al73r3g0: (Sam) *silent, continues watching the water* [23:37] WakeUpBreakOut: ::looks out over the water, too, and then, quietly:: ... Who I worry about is him father. ::'him' being Will:: [23:37] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Looks at her sideways* His...father? [23:37] WakeUpBreakOut: Him father'a part'a Davy Jones' crew, too. [23:38] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Blinks* [23:39] WakeUpBreakOut: Bootstrap Bill Turner ... he cursed. Unable t'live, unable t'die ... he annoy Gregory Barbosa, an' Gregory Barbossa strap 'em to a canon ... send 'em to the bottom'a de ocean. An' dat where Davy Jones find him. [23:40] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Never really likes/ed Barbossa, even if he does like the monkey* ...so...is he...like Will? Given up? [23:42] WakeUpBreakOut: ::shakes her head:: No. He fight the curse of Davy Jones' ship tooth and nail. ... But where most men condemned t'serve a hundred years a'fore the mast'a the Dutchman, Bootstrap Bill Turner be dere forever. [23:42] al73r3g0: (Sam) But...*confused* He can't hold on to people forever? [23:46] WakeUpBreakOut: Most men, no. Bootstrap Bill Turner, yes. ::tilts her head a little, and then:: Before Davy Jones sent all him fury on Jack Sparrow, William Turner end up on him ship - he was dere for da key t'da Dead Man's Chest. An' to find him key, William Turner set out t'play Liar's Dice against Davy Jones, the stakes? Him soul forever 'gainst Davy Jones' key. William Turner lose, but not before him father cast him own dice. Bootstrap Bill Turner lose on purpose, savin' him son, but condemnin' hisself forever. [23:47] al73r3g0: (Sam) *A bit more confused* But if his father would do that for him...and his father's there, with him...why did Will...? [23:48] WakeUpBreakOut: Submit to Davy Jones? [23:48] al73r3g0: (Sam) ...yes. [23:48] WakeUpBreakOut: ((Davy Jones is so much fun to say in Tia!voice. ::can do her voice::)) [23:48] al73r3g0: ((XD)) [23:49] WakeUpBreakOut: ((I can do Will's voice, too. And Barbossa's. And Bootstrap's. ... Bootstrap's is fun but hard, because I can't talk for like five minutes before I do it, but when I do, I can do the wet growl thing he has going. XD)) [23:49] al73r3g0: ((XD I need to hear that sometime.)) [23:50] WakeUpBreakOut: ((If I can find my microphone, I'll have to do a few lines from the movies for each of them or something.)) [23:50] al73r3g0: ((I would love you so much. XD *Has mic+headphone set, wheee*)) [23:50] WakeUpBreakOut: Best I can tink, Davy Jones turn William Turner against him father. [23:50] WakeUpBreakOut: ((Ooh. You're shiny with your headphone set thingy.)) [23:51] al73r3g0: ((Aw, audio's disabled. :()) [23:51] WakeUpBreakOut: ((;-;)) [23:51] al73r3g0: (Sam) After his father would give up his soul for him? [23:51] al73r3g0: (Sam) *Understands how it could be done, in a way; certainly doesn't like his Uncle. But not why.* [23:52] al73r3g0: ((Hrm...*idear. You on AIM or Trillian?*)) [23:52] WakeUpBreakOut: ::little shrug:: ... Davy Jones know how to set men 'gainst eachother.
