Sitting at the bar of a busy pub, Captain Jack Sparrow smirked. It was a relatively peaceful night in Tortuga and there weren't many fights to watch or women to charm tonight. But that didn't lower Jack's spirits, oh no. Nothing could for now since, yet again, Jack had the Black Pearl under his name. The Black Pearl. How he loved that name. He didn't even know why he loved the ship so much, he just did. It was a safe haven for him, and a sturdy one at that.
Jack finished off his Rum and stood up, not wanting to get drunk tonight. He nodded at the bartender in thanks and walked out of the somewhat quiet pub into the streets of Tortuga. He whistled his favourite tune along the way, but that soon turned into singing. "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me," he sang loudly, giving the impression of being drunk. Could he help that he was in a good mood? Nothing could lower his spirits. Nothing and no one...

Dark clouds suddenly rolled in. The sounds of lightning began to roll. Lightning struck and bnlack smoke emerged. In the middle of the street stood a man with firey blue hair. He walked into the bar. This place was worth of taking, but he needed a man to help him rule this place. Someone well known, someone famous. He looked around the room.
Suddenly he saw a man with a red bandana on his head, with a small black beard in a braid. He smiled. He recognized this man anywhere. "Jack Sparrow!"Hades yelled and walked towards him. Dodging the brawls that took place here. Once he reached Jack he took out his hand for a shake. "Hades. Lord of the Dead, Hey how ya doin?" Hades said. That was his line, he loved saying it.

Jack looked at the man's hand with little interest. "Why should I believe that you're lord of the dead? Now I thought that God's didn't exist," he said thoughtfully, more to himself than the people around him. "That's very interesting..."
"Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service. Or you're at mine. You did come after me, after all," he smiled, taking Hades' hand. "So how did you know my name? Or did you just hear it around? The stories and such," he asked, curious as to why he singled him out. "And why did you come after me anyway? What are you even doing here?"

This man was asking a lot of questions he thought of Jack as a simple pirate. One that goes with the flow. Guess not. "Well, you see I am the Lord of the Dead as in the only one, and you know gods exist. Look at Calypso...."Hades said. He knew Calypso personally she came to Olympus now and again.
Hades took his hands back. He waved his hand and a stool appeared. He sat with his hand on his chin. "YOu are very well known of Captain." Hades said. He knew jack had no ship. It was told in the books he read. The Black Pearl was long gone. "YOu see."Hades started looking at Jack. "I know you love Tortuga is that correct?" Hades said looking at Jack as if making a buisness propazition (i know i didnt spell it right.).

"Technically, Calypso was too tall to look at," Jack replied smugly, "but I do suppose you give a good enough point. Alright, I'll go with whatever you're doing." He thought all of this was a little weird, even after everything that had happened to Jack in the past. This was strange and he wasn't used to it. He merely shrugged it off and sighed.
"Yes, I love Tortuga. It is my favourite place other than my Ship which was recklessly stolen from me by that Barbosa," he said bitterly, in need of another drink now. "Stupid mutiny... Stupid Barbosa... Stupid Turner..." He mumbled. "Can I get you a drink at all, Hades?" Jack had a feeling that they were going to need one for this conversation.

Hades smiled. Jack got the bait now all Hades needed to do was SNAP the trap. "No thanks I have one."Hades then twisted his hand and in a wisp of smoke his drink appeared the glas had a skull on the front and pink juice swirled around. He loved his pink juice.
"Now down to buisness." Hades said giving a serious face. "Yes Tortuga is a free and independent port, but lets say that YOU call the shots of what happens in Tortuga?" Hades suggested tapping Jack on the shoulder.

Ariel quietly entered the bar, her hair down but as always, her crown nestled safely in her hair. Scanning the bar, she spotted Hades sitting at the table with none other than Jack Sparrow. Oh Shrimp..... Weaving her way between the drunken pirates and women trying to charm them, she aprroached them. "Hades, Captain Sparrow." She murmured in greeting.

Hades saw Ariel walk in. Oh I forgot about her.Hades thought to himself. Maybe she could come to his advantage. "Captain Sparrow this is Ariel of the underwater kingdom of Atlantica."Hades explained looking at Ariel then to Jack. He twisted his hand and another stool appeared for Ariel. Though she was his hostage he was going to treat the little princess with SOME respect.

Jack was actually interested in Hades' proposal. "And what, pray tell, do you mean exactly?" He asked before noticing another woman walk in. She had a crown in her hair so figured he had to lay off the flirting on her. He shrugged, not really caring since he was in a business meeting. Hades introduced her as Ariel. He stuck out his hand. "Jack Sparrow, thought I might introduce myself," he said emotionlessly.

She shook his hand briefly and sat down on the stool Hades had provided her. "Hello Captain Sparrow. I've heard much about you from the other fish in the sea and they tell me about your adventures. They sound lovely."

"Believe me, love, they're a story worth telling," Jack smirked. "Might I get you a drink?" He asked politely. She was royalty, might as well be nice about it. "So, Hades, this business proposal or whatever it is? What are you saying?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow in interest. He was a Pirate, after all.

Hades smiled greatly still. He turned to him. "I am saying that I will cast a spell."Hades started. "That makes you that ruler of Tortuga, which mean you call the shots."Hades said smiling. Hades drank from his cup heavily. Though he drank teh cup seemed unempty or untouched.

"And what do you get out of this?" Jack asked, knowing there had to be a catch. He wasn't born yesterday, he knew that Hades would get something in return and he intended to find out what. "I'm ruler of Tortuga and you are... What exactly?" He asked, downing his Rum. He ordered another and paid the bartender. "Because I know you're gonna want something, too. Am I right?"

"That you watch this land. "Hades said. "I am granting the wishes of people like yourselfwho want the lands that you love. "Hades added smiling. He watched Jack. He hoped that Jack would agree. He was on a roll. It was only China he did not conquer yet. Every land he visited he conquered. This was just another.

"And so I would rule it... Just me... No one else?" Jack asked, liking the sound of this more and more. "I still think this is a little one sided though. I get a land... You get nothing in return. You have to get something, mate. You wouldn't do all this just for a little love from Old Jack here, would you?" He asked, casting Hades a disbelieving look. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, I know these things." Jack raised another eyebrow at him, questioning his reason, and took a gulp from his drink.
