Randooman: oh my the leavening to Tortuga might be a problem captain! (Hands the captain a stolen telescope.) Captain Dusk: gah! Norrington: what is it mistress? Captain Dusk: The natives have commandeur my ship! (Norrington takes Captain Dusk word for it what else would anger her moor then this?) Randomman: so which route should we take? North leads to a volcanic summit, south leads to the coast, east leads to where our ship used to be, and west leads to the other side of the coast!

'Steve! Noooooo!' he screamed, temporally forgetting that Steve wasn't on the ship. 'Captain Dusk, I recommend that we return to the village and torch it. Don't you agree Norri? I mean, Norrington.' They'd taken his galley, his sloth, and his cabin filled with shiny things, and for that they would pay.
He drew his pistol and headed back towards the village, not waiting for an answer, intent on exacting his revenge on the Witch Doctor. Paying no attention to where he was heading, he found himself unexpectedly lying in the dirt. Grumbling he picked himself up, and dusted off his coat. Looking behind him to see what he had tripped over he saw Steve. 'Steve! They didn't take you! Come here boy!' Steve slowly jumped into Aramis' open arms, forgetting why he had been rushing back to the village.

Norrington glared daggers at Aramis for calling him 'Norri' while Captain Dusk dropped to her knees in despair. "MY SHIP!!" She cried in anger. "NOO! And Norri, there are several things we have to do before you can call me mistress."
She sat and pouted at the telescope in her hand. Then, followed Aramis to destroy the town out of rage. "He finds his sloth, but still no ship!" She whined.
Norrington straitened his hat then turned to RandomMan. "Cake boy, if they've managed to commandeer our ship they must have a crew, who is their commander? Are they controlled by the Witch Doctor?"

Randomman: hm they seemed fine to me. but (the crew looks back at Randomman) Randomman: where I "grew up they were testing this device called mind doll. They would be about the size of a orb or some kind of gem.but they could only work on one person at a time and gah hit the deck sand ground thingy! (Randomman ducks) Captain Dusk: My ship!!!! (The ship being taken to other side of the island is tossed back to where it sat anchored. the ship has taken no damage.) Randomman:nice throw Big Gun! (The crew's heart nearly skips a beat) Big Gun: sorry for my tardiness Randomman: we have a lead! The Witch Doctor might know something about your past! Big Gun: did he laugh like a pervert. Randomman: i believe so... why? Big Gun: he was on bored the ship at the time I threw the ship. Randomman: Yohohohoho! What are we waiting for then? Lets go see if he's still among the living!

'Oh bugger. What IS that?' Aramis said as he watched the strange creature throw the ship. He shrugged, some things were just best left alone, and this seemed to be one of them. Well, time to head back to the ship and make sure the food hadn't burnt in his absence.
He splashed his way back to the boat, carrying Steve under one arm, eager to make all his shiny things were still all there. 'Steve, quick go and check my cabin.' He launched Steve through the air, and began to climb his way up the side of the ship. Bloody pira... wait, natives. Always causing problems, what with all the chasing, bad singing, and trying to eat the crew.
He reached the deck, and looked around at the mess. Steve had already found his way back into the rigging, swaying gently in the breeze. Sighing he began picking his way across the deck, heading for the stairs down. Wasn't there something that the Captain said to do.....

Captain Dusk hurried happily back to her ship, which looked perfectly fine while simply beaming. ;D "It's back Norri look, it's back!" "Yes, I can see that don't you find that a bit o-" "-but it's back! I'm so happy! Maybe now's the time to promote you to being able to call me 'mistress...' "Mas- um I don't think that's-" She finally gave in and took his hat, and put the one she'd been wearing before on his head. She just liked it too much.

Randomman: Yohohohoho! Look what I found! (drops the tided up Witch Doctor down. Big Gun swims close by the ship to get a good look.) Big Gun:..Moustache Randomman:only the greatest torture for this villain!so Mr. got anything you want to tell us? (The Witch Doctor starts coughing) Randomman: hey are you alright? (A signal pearl falls out of the Witch Doctor mouth) Big Gun: mind doll Randomman: he was just a puppet? Big Gun: someone else is pulling the strings Randomman: shoot! And it will be a couple of days before this guy wakes up! Everyone: the Cake Goddess!

Post by Princess Nazaki ♪ on Jun 8, 2008 1:52:05 GMT -5
"But chocolate is so bad for you!" Nazaki protested, standing up slowly so she wouldn't cause any more injuries or unexpected jungle sex. Her disapproval fell on deaf ears, however; Kai-Mijo had already ambushed a mustachioed native, tying him with rope that seemingly appeared out of nowhere ((As a certain person's fecal excrement was rumored to be able to do)).
As the man went on about sweets - what else was to be expected? - Nazaki looked around, already feeling twinges of boredom. She picked up a sharp rock and leaned against a tree, determined to create some sort of entertainment. She had no sooner begun to carve "K+N" on the palm tree than the surface of the tree fell off. A secret compartment! Looking furtively around to make sure that no one was watching, she leaned in close to the opening and looked in. Amidst all the wood shavings and dust that had been there for unknown years, there was a small metallic glint. She reached in carefully, knowing that tropic areas often harbor nasty little things that like hiding in secret compartments, biting you to death, and ruining expensive velvet.
What she pulled out was a thin chain passing through a hole in the top of a small silver key. A key necklace! She'd always wanted one. Nazaki happily fastened the chain around her neck and returned to rummaging. A map of the island, a bottle of what smelled like rum, and a shiny ring with garnets, amethyst, and diamonds. She kept the ring but left the other two; rum was disgusting, and who needs a map when you're stranded on an island?
Happy with her discoveries, Nazaki swished over to Kai-Mijo. Hopefully she would end the day with delicious fruit and pie as well as her new treasures!

He sighed. If they were going back to the village, he would have to leave Steve behind. And if there was a fight, who would come to the rescue? He didn't trust that weird metal thing, even if it did save the ship and his shiny things.
'So Captain, do we return to the village, or put this whole mess behind us and go back to Tortuga?' I could do with something a little tastier than seagull to drink, he thought. 'We ARE running a little low on supplies.' He liked Tortuga, even if it did have an awful stench to the place. There was just no other place like it.

The captain looked out over the water from her much-missed ship. "We've been surrounded by cake-clad natives who imprisoned us in iron, and one of us has been forced to crawl around like a dog-and we don't even have anything to show for it. I say we leave this island, unless we're going back to burn it all. Now, ready the sails and all that jazz, we're going to Tortuga. Now, I'm taking a nap and some much needed tea." She was also starving, the cabin boy'd do...

Randomman: awww I wanted to stay a little longer. This island is getting pretty interesting. I mean some of the natives close to the Witch Doctor were clad in iron armor! And you wouldn't think this island really has that kind of raw materials. Plus there's the factor that the Witch Doctor was being controlled by a Nightcost mind doll.. Big Gun:... Randomman: the natives might be under the Cake Goddess control. Though is it by their own beliefs or is it moor mind dolls? I have to know plus Big Gun might find something about her past right? (Big Gun gives a thumbs up) Randomman:Yohohohoho don't worry about us my captain! We will catch up to the ship if you happen to leave! (Randomman makes a dash of youth to the village) Big Gun:...but you cant swim Randomman yelling: Yohohoho I can doggy paddle though Big Gun: ok (her eyes flash to a bright golden moonlight color) (Big Gun storms though the water causing it to part before her speed. reaching land she sends trees and whatever is in her way to crumble in defeat.)

He stood and watched as Random Man jumped ship. NOW who was going to get the ship ready to sail? 'Captain.' he looked around for her, but saw her nowhere. She must have gone to see that cabin boy again, although calling him 'boy' may have been slightly inaccurate. The ship was too big for one man to get ready to sail, and Norrington wouldn't help the lazy pompous git.
He made his way to the captains cabin, hoping that she wasn't TOO busy with her little cabin boy. 'Captain, we have a minor problem. Half the crew seems to have jumped ship, and, well, I can't get it ready on my own. ' He put his ear against the door to listen to what was happening, but withdrew rapidly. What was she doing in there! 'Captain, I recommend we head back to the island to drag the crew back. Plus, we may find shiny things there too.'
Without waiting for an answer he headed back up to the deck, hoping that she had been listening, but he knew how the captain could be when alone with the cabin boy. 'Norrington my friend! do you fancy taking a quick expedition to retrieve our wayward crew? I'll even throw in a nice fresh, juicy seagull.'

Norrington looked a little tempted despite himself. "Well, I don't exactly 'fancy' it, but it's better than waiting around here just in -case- the crew decide to turn up." He slid the sword he'd been shining back into its sheath- not the one Will made for him. He'd been wondering where that sword he'd stuck to Davey Jones had got to.
He was heading off the ship when he turned to Aramis. "Well, are you coming? And..." He looked Aramis over. "Where is that seagull you mentioned?"

Randomman:hm I wonder how long it will take for Big Gun to catch up with me? (Randomman feels a tap at his shoulder) Randomman: gah (Randomman jumps in the air in fright) Big Gun:..its only me (Randomman recovers) Randomman: Yohohohohoho I knew that! You just surprised me that's all! (Big Gun and Randomman arrive at the village) Randomman: that's funny no ones here? (loud Congo sounding drums are heard off in the distance) Big Gun: some kind of festival? Randomman: hmmm oh yeah! I think a remember one of the natives talking about a custom they perform in praise for good fortune and good health. You're supposed to offer a gift to a fallen god apparently and if he likes your gift you get to live and have good fortune. Big Gun: a fallen god? Randomman: It's a god who filled with anger and should be praised to keep peace. The natives used to have a very kind god around here that protected the people of this island. But sadly the god vanished and the village was thrown into distress by a fallen god. The natives say they no longer need to worry though. When the Cake Goddess formed this custom the fallen god no longer attacks the village people, their homes, and their harvest of those yummy trees. Big Gun: let's go check it out. Randomman:hm I think the festival is this way (Points the way where a volcano can be seen in the distance) (Big Gun arrives first followed by Randomman) Randomman:whoa (The entire village is seen bowing before the volcano. The Cake Goddess is seated on her throne which must have been carried over here. The Cake Goddess starts the festival) Cake Goddess: well now what have you brought to appease the fallen god? (one of the village elders approaches the Cake Goddess) Native Elder:we have sent out a search party to find the missing group that went with the Witch Doctor my Goddess. (the cake goddess looks at the elder in disgust.) Cake Goddess: well what else have you found? (the native elder becomes nervous and a native framer steps in.) Native Framer: my goddess im afraid our yearly harvest is shorter then last year.. (The Cake Goddess cuts in on the farmer pleas) Cake Goddess: do you honestly think you will please the fallen god with a harvest even if the harvest was has been good this year? (The native framer tries to stay positive while much of the natives are in depressed state.) Native Framer: but my Goddess the fallen god has always enjoyed our gift. And you said yourself not to worry about this harvest. because with of the travelers that came here we were bound to get much fortune. (The Cake Goddess gets out of her chair. the native elder and framer back clearly frightened by the Cake Goddess.) Cake Goddess yelling: alas it seams the fallen god is not pleased this year. (The tribe starts to panic) Cake Goddess: I fear we most purge the young of this tribe in order to be sure your forgiveness and stupidity on this pitiful harvest. Least we invoke the wraith of the fallen god like in the dark times before i came and blessed this land in peace.) (The tribe starts to mourn for they know this is true and just.the young are gathered close to the a large treasure pile that has been displayed from last years festival.) Cake Goddess: oh it's with a heavy heart that we most see the young die in order for peace. But that is the way life when it has foolish people. (She pauses letting the tear run village time to recover a bit.) Cake Goddess: now let us see what happens when fools make mistakes! (she raises her hand. and a bright light shines from her arm) Randomman: Yohohohoho! So thats were you were hiding the mind dolls! (Randomman starts to walk forward) Randomman: hmmm Nightcoost likes to collect a lot of human trash but you! your just trash just pretending to be a Goddess and installing fear in these villagers! And for what? So you can make your pasty the Witch Doctor and a group of villagers can steal from the travelers! I bet this hull thing about the fallen god is a ruse to? Or is it that you controlled the old Cake God and made him into a Fallen God turned controlled his will made his very people fear him! (The Cake Goddess makes a cruel smile.) Cake Goddess:well aren't you the smart one! But you know what they say knowledge can be cast down in the shadow of fear! (she takes out a necklace of made of mind dolls. Big Gun still hiding in the trees throws a rock shattering all but one mind doll from the necklace.) Cake Goddess screaming in rage: OnE Is AlL a NeEd YoU fOoLs DiE BeFoRe ThE WrAiTh Of ThE fAlLeN gOd! (The Fallen God erupts from the volcano roaring in fury. the villagers run away from the scene.) Randomman: no way Big Gun: its a

Aramis bent down to pick up the stunned seagull, but alas could not see the shiny stone he had thrown at it. Oh well, he thought, at least it couldn't have been very valuable. 'Here you go Norrington, one seagull, just as I promised.' He throw the seagull at Norrington grinning as it hit him in the face. 'Sorry about that.'
The ground began to shake beneath his feet, and an almighty roar. 'What the hell was that!' Looking towards the sound, he saw what looked like a giant gingerbread man rising from the top of the mountain. 'Now Norrington, correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not a giant gingerbread man rising out of the ground about to devour everything on this island to satisfy it's unholy controller? And possible perform some kind of song and dance routine?'
