Blaire waved goodbye to her parents and unlocked the driver side to her 1967 White Chevy Impala, and placed the keys into the ignition. With a roar of the engine- what Blaire called her "Illusionist" came to life, as the song 'More Than a Feeling' blared out of the speakers. She sang along as she put the car in the reverse, and turned around to back out of the driveway. In a few minutes Blaire parked in front of The Faithful Bride and honked the horn.

“Hurry up, Scotty!” The door of the ramshackled bar burst open, and her best friend Scott came hobbling out, with one shoe still attempting to be attached, as he ran to the car he knocked on the back window. Blaire leaned over the seats and opened it.

“Hey, wait up for Trevor.”

“He’s still at your house?”

“Yeah. It’s really bad this time, Blaire.”

“My sympathies for him.” Blaire honked the horn again and leaned over Scott and stuck her head out of the passenger side window. “Dude! Let’s go! We’re going to be late again, and if I have to drag your slow a** out of bed one more time...” Blaire let the sentence hang, and screamed when from the other side of the car someone grabbed her side. Laughing, Trevor opened the door and got into the back seat behind Blaire.

“You’re a Toad, you know that.”

Trevor grinned, “I love it when you speak Disney.”

“Tard.” Blaire replied with a smirk, “It’s Warner Brothers.” She replied looking at him in the mirror. (Ten gold if anyone can figure out where I got the name Trevor from d(^.^)b ) Trevor was slightly pudgy, but three inches taller than her, not that it was saying much as Blaire was only 5’2.” Trevor’s jet black hair was swept to the side (some would call it emo style), over his brown eyes but not enough to be label. Blaire punched the gas as she pulled out onto the road, and slowed down as she saw the school.

Suddenly a white light flashed over her eyes, Blaire blinked but it came back full force and she heard the sound of cannons, she could smell sea salt, gunpowder and she saw a huge black ship with tattered sails, and infront of it was a shining tower raising up from the ocean. It seemed as though she was standing at the helm of her own ship.

Something...someone called her name. Blaire! Hard to port!

“Blaire! Blaire! Blaire!” the increasing shout of Scott, seemed to break through the spell she was under enough to register the Honda civic at the intersection coming right across the Impala’s line of direction. In an instant, Blaire tipped right, then pulled the emergency break and pulled to the left as hard as she could.

“Hard to port!” she yelled over screeching breaks. Everyone in the school’s front courtyard stood rooted to the spot in terror and excitement as the impala fishtailed 180, the back just inches away from the Civic.

“ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod.” muttered Trevor from the back seat, a firm grasp was laid on her shoulder, Blaire looked up at Scott, his brown hair even more shaggy than usual, his green eyes were searching hers.

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?”

Blaire nodded. “No, I’m not hurt.”

“Then were you on crack?!” asked Trevor pulling himself up to their level of front-ness. Blaire ignored him and got out of the car and apologized, she didn’t know how many times to the lady that was driving, happily she wouldn’t pressed charges, but encouraged Blaire to give her licence back to the Cracker-Jack company.

“well that was an adventure,” said Scott grabbing his backpack and closing the door, Blaire slung the brown leather jacket over her shoulder as well as her book bag. “Lock the door, Scott.” Scott blinked then went back to the car.

“Right.”

“You almost killed me!”Hissed Trevor for what felt like the fifth time in the last minute.

“I said I was sorry.” replied Blaire tiredly.

“Yeah well-” but Trevor never got to finish because Blaire whipped around and narrowed her eyes.

“You what Trevor?”

“I-I...I think you’re a wonderful driver..” he finished meekly, Blaire gave a tight smile.

Spanish was the first class of the day, and Mr. Peters said he had a very special announcement to make. It was probably that cruise around the Caribbean that only high marked students were allowed to go on. Hardly new news, the rumour had been circulating since the beginning of the year. It would tour the infamous city of Port Royal, as well as Free Port Bahamas, the little island off the shore of Haiti (formally known as Hispaniola) called Turtle Isle (Tortuga). Blaire never really wanted to go but something in the back of her mind nagged at her, almost pleaded to go. Blaire looked down at her watch and cursed, class would start in a couple of minutes. Ever since she found that ring on the shore last week she had been having the freak visions. But something couldn’t allow her to get rid of it...


(Sorry about this, I just wanted to try something. So it is set in a modern time, but what I was thinking is that one this cruise, the gang (people who would like to be in the roleplay) would get stuck on modern day Rum Runner’s Isle. There’s a wrecked fishing vessel on the other side of the island which contains-swords and other nifty things. There’s also a Chest to which contains a treasure map along with an item that will help jog everyone’s memory to their past life. Considering none of them have money to get home their only hope is to find the treasure – but there are other people searching for the same thing.
so to whomever like playing the bad guys-you can and if not we can improvise.

Please Tell me what you think-and I won’t be insulted if you say no or don’t like it, or don't think it's right for the guild. 4laugh )

Kat jumped into her car, a black Chevy, and drove twords home. She loved her car which she called The Black Armada. Kat was not super popular at school. She was kind of a loner. She pulled up in front of a poster for a cruise. " Man that would be so much fun right now. A cruise on the famous Black Pearl.

(This is an excellent idea Blaire wink I'm definately up for joining smile )

Jack sat huddled up under a box down an allyway in Raisinier, Tortuga, he'd been here for quite a while, most of his life infact, as a child he was abbandoned and had to live a tough life begging and stealing to stay alive, he looked out towards the road, a few cars were passing at quite high speed, it was morning for sure, he got up, and walked out of the dark allway onto the street, people gave him funny looks and went out of there way to avoid getting close to him, he hadn't bathed in a while.

Jack made his way too the town center, Raisinier wasn't a very big place, but it was home, he sat down and put his hat down in front of him hoping people would put money into it, he always liked the hat, he didn't know why, it was just a stupid pirate hat he'd stolen from a childrens costume store.

Kat spotted a homeless guy. He smelled horrible. She felt bad for him. She liked his hat though. " Hey nice hat!" she yelled as she passed.

Jack looked up, another passerby mocking him he thought to himself he wouldn't mind it if only they'd throw a coin down as well.

Kat stopped and backed up. " Hey kid! You uh.. want to come live at my place? I live alone so no one will bother us. If you want." Kat said smiling trying really hard not to grimace at the smell.

"Blaire, can i see you for a moment please?"

"oh, busted." whispered Scott, Blaire shot him a glare.

"wait at my locker." Blaire then turned to the History teacher-Mr. Shu and masking the nervousness she stood infront of him. "yes?" Mr. Shu half leaned half sat on the desk behind him.

"do you know what your mark is in this class?" Crap. this always happened. it wasn't her fault-really! it was just really boring, besides all the homwork was textbook-and she hatted textbook work-it wasn't even work. it just copying from the texr. and reallyt what studen actualy learns from coppying the text and not reading it-because it's was what everyone did.

"...no?"

Mr. Shu looked serious and Blaire began to sweat a little. Then he had a huge smile speading from ear to ear. "91%"

"holy s**t." said Blaire automatically before covering her mouth. "i mean, wow....that's a-amazing and about that last assignment-"

"don't ruin the moment, Hunter-"

"alright." replied Blaire in defeat.

"and because of that mark, you as well as seven other students are going on the cruise to Jamaica!"

Blaire's heart stopped for a moment. "..."

Mr. Shu's smile faded, "what is it?"

"it's...."

"it's what?"

Blaire's grin was now too wide for comfort, "i can't believe it- it's amazing i'm going to Jamaica!!" she stoppped."i have to tell scott-"

"Scott as well as Trevor are gong to." chuckled Mr.Chu
____

Scott's foot tapped impataintly by the Impala's passanger door, he rubbed it arms, it had quickly gone from bright and sunny to dull and story, and he could see the clouds starting to roll in. He looked at his watch for the twelf time. he rememberd that she told him to wait at her locker-but who did she think he was? her crew memer or something? There was a rumble, and Scott looked up to the sky-the clouds were so far away though. There was a flash of white light. For a moment Scott could tell the flashing images from real life. it wasn't untill the large ship came into veiw that he knew he was dreaming...or something. 'He' slipped comming up on deack and stumbeld up the stairs, he gasped as he saw Blaire at the wheel. her hair was whind whipped and her hat seemed to sling onto her skull. infront of them was a large black ship with tattered sails.

"Scott!" with a quick shake, Scott had snapped out of whatever it was his was in. Blaire's eyes bore intensly into his own.

"Blaire!" she slugged him in the arm.

"ow what the heck was that for?!?!"

"for not telling me yer going to Jamaica-you dummy!" Scott was about to retort when he noticed her smirk, the slugged arm forgotten.

"you're going too?"

"Damn strait!" They hugged for a moment, before Blaire let go and glared at him.

"what?"

"i told you to wait at my locker" Scott gave her the most dubious of looks coupled with an are you stupid one. "we're at the car!" he said slowly, loudly.Blaire's glarring eyes became icy and a cold zing went down Scott spine.

"so um passenger?"

Blaire nodded." yeah."

Jack looked up again, "Kid?" he couldn't help but smirk at that one, "How do I know this isn't just some kind of joke?" Jack said untrusting, it wasn't usual for strangers to just pick up tramps off the street, however he really did like the idea of getting inside a house again.

Kat sighed. " You have my word. If I do anything to harm you, You can just leave. say the word and your out."

Blaire packed everything that night, eventhough the trip wasn't for another couple of weeks (i'll do a time jump soon). She was excited to go on the cruse, it was a prestigious honor, but also there was something that was drawing her to that part of the world, she couldn't place a finger on it but hse knew it was important.

Jack thought about it, she may harm in such a way he couldn't leave, like break his legs, but then again why would she, he studied her, she seemed kind and maybe there was no trickery involved, "Ok i'll come with you" he said picking up his hat, a few coins had been dropped in but not much, he took them out pocketed them, got up and stood in front of her.

Kat smiled. " Name's Kat by the way!" She said starting the car.
