The Twin Sparrows

Negotiations

Black Pearl No POV

Will showed the charts as he pointed to an island but Wade found it weird that he knew where it was.

Will: there's fresh water on this island. We can result there and get back to shooting each other later.

Jack: you lead the shore party. I'll stay with my ship.

Barbossa: i'll not be leaving my ship in your command.

Will: why don't you both go ashore and leave the ship in my command.

Both:<look at him>

Will; temporarily.

Barbossa took a spyglass to look at the island as Jack pulled a longer one as Wade helped him keep it straight. Wade took Anamaria to the side.

Wade:<signs> Will knew that island had fresh water without visiting it, meaning someone told him of it.

Anamaria: so...

Wade:<signs> not much to do but we'll wait to see what happens.

They went ashore as in a Pintel and Ragetti fashion, a wave knocked them off their boat. Jack, Wade, Barbossa were looking at something and walked towards it as Pintel and Ragetti followed.

Pintel; criminy.

Ragetti: odds bodkins!

The five of them walked towards the corpse of the Kraken. Seagulls were already pecking at it as Pintel poked it with a stick to make sure it was actually dead.

Ragetti: careful! Careful!

Pintel: you stupid fish!

Ragetti; actually it's a cephalopod.

They both started going on top of it.

Pintel; serves you right.

Ragetti; Pin, I bet people would pay a shilling to see this. And another shilling for a sketch of them sitting atop!

Pintel; Pintel and Ragetti, Kraken slayers.

Ragetti; we could serve up a slice as a souvenir.

The Twins were looking at the dead eye of the creature.

Barbossa: still thinking of running, you two? Think you can outrun and outlive the world? You know, the problem with being the last of anything... by and by, there be none left at all.

Jack: sometimes things come back, mate. We're living proof, us three.

Barbossa: aye, but that's a gamble of long odds, ain't it? There's never a guarantee of coming back. But passing on, that's dead certain.

Jack: summoning the Brethren Court, then, is it?

Barbossa: it's our only hope, lads.

Jack: that's a sad commentary in and of itself.

Barbossa: the world used to be a bigger place.

Wade:<signs> the world's still the same. There's just... less in it.

They all went deeper into the island as they go to the place where the fresh water is located only to find a corpse in it as Barbossa tasted some of the water and spit it back out.

Barbossa: poisoned. Fouled by the body.

Pintel turns the body around as it had Sao Feng's wooden stake drove through its skull and out the top of his head.

Pintel: eh, I know him. He was in Singapore!

Parrot:<squawks> Singapore.

Ragetti: Captain!
