After spending a lot of his time in Tortuga, Jack finally decided to visit somewhere different. He'd left his closest friend - the barkeeper at his local pub - to look after the island while he was gone. He had a ship prepared as soon as possible and left Tortuga as soon as possible. He soon reached Europe, much to his liking, and smiled. He ended up in a small island called United Kingdom and traveled to somewhere called London.
While in London, Jack walked around everywhere he could find, oblivious to all of the stares he was getting due to his pirate outfit and signature hat and bandanna. He wouldn't have cared, even if he did know. He looked around and found a small pub. Now that's more like it, he thought, smirking and walking into it. He walked up to the bar and ordered a Rum, like normal. He smirked, looking around the place, and leaned back in his chair comfortably.

Mulan was sitting in a pub, having a drink of tea. It was different tea than she was used to, but still really good. She was really tired from visiting the worlds and trying to get people to join her army. Right now, she wanted to rest and sleep, but she knew she couldn't. She had to press on. She had to defeat Hades somehow. She paid for her tea and got up to leave. As she walked to the door, she stumbled and fell into someone's lap. "Oh, I'm so sorry," she said, picking herself up off the person. It took her a few minutes to realize it was a man and even longer to notice that he was dressed like a pirate.

Jack smirked, the English Rum having an effect that made him drunk twice as fast. "No trouble at all, love. Cap'n Jack Sparrow, at your service. Don't forget the Captain at the front, no matter what you hear. You may have heard of me, probably have. And who are you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Not everyday a gorgeous girl falls straight onto your lap in a different place and he was going to make the most of it. "You can sit there all you like," Jack said suggestively.

Mulan blinked several times at the man's words as though they took a moment to sink in, which they did because she was so tired. In the end, Mulan found herself sitting back down onto tthe man's lap. Perhaps her tiredness was affecting her brain, but whatever. Captain Jack Sparrow was very warm and nice to her. "I'm Mulan, Captain Sparrow. I come from China. Where do you come frome?" she asked him, trying not to yawn. Perhaps she needed stronger tea or something.

"Want a Rum, love?" Jack asked, smirking. Get the girl drunk, man. She'll welcome you with open arms, he smirked again at his own thoughts, but quickly wiped it off, not wanting her to get suspicious of him. "I come from all over, love. I live in Tortuga at the moment, though. What's there to do in China?" He asked, placing a hand on her hip. "Do you have a husband there?"

Mulan blinked again. "Rum? I can't say I've ever drank rum, but sure, it might wake me up a bit." She looked up at Sparrow as he talked about where he came from. He said the name of a strange place that she had never heardd of. It sounded like a lovely place to her. It certainly sounded rather exotic. "Oh, there's plenty to do in China. There's festivals and kite flying and fighting off Hades," she muttered this last bit softly, so Jack couldn't hear her just in case he was on Hades side. "As a mattter of fact, I am married, but my husband isn't here right now." She gave Sparrow a small sly smile. She could feel his hand oon her hip, butt she made no attempt to movee it away.

"Rum is a great drink. A gift from the God's, that is," Jack said, almost dreamily. He ordered Mulan a Rum and gave it to her, paying the Bartender. "China sounds rather interesting, a lot different than Tortuga. Tortuga is quite violent and full of drunks. I love it. Rather amusing to live there, I must admit. Jack smirked at her smile. "I can't say it surprises me that you're married, love. "Where is your husband if not here?"

Mulan took the glass from Jack and sipped it almost as though drinking tea. The rum had a much different flavor to it than anything she had tasted before. It was nice and smooth feeling on her tongue. She smiled almost matching the dreamy smile on Jack's face. "A gift from the gods indeed," she murmured, taking another larger sip. "Mulan is not with its violent side. I recently snuck and fought in a war to save my father's life. I could have been killed as well because it's against the law in China for women to fight, but by some miracle I was spared by my husband's own blade. Of course, he wasn't my husband then." She fell silent for a moment. She was talking an awful lot about things she normally didn't speak of with strangers. Perhaps this drink was caussing her to have a loose tongue. She shrugged her sshoulders and took another drink. "Oh, he's in China, all the way in Asia, which is very far from here, very far indeed."

Jack smirked, yet again, as he saw her drinking. "Good, huh?" He asked, watching her drink a larger amount. "So you're a brave one, eh? Can't say I'm surprised. You would risk your own honor to save your country. That says something to old Jack 'ere. And your future husband didn't kill you when he had the chance? I must say I'm glad, otherwise you wouldn't be here now." He paused. "Why are you here if he's so far away?"

Mulan sat there in Jack's lap, drinking her glass of rum and listening to him talk. His voice had a rather comforting tone almost exactly like Shang's. "You have it wrong there. I risked my family's honor to save my father, not my country. Saving my country came as an added bonus. I'm glad he didn't as well. I wouldn't be here otherwise, sharing a most tasty drink with you." She took another drink and almost spewed it all over the place at his next question. Dare she tell him the truth? The words were half formed in her mouth when she changed her mind. "To take scope on the situation. Did you know that Hades, Lord of the Underworld is taking over all the worlds? I came to see how far he's gotten."

Jack nodded, accepting her excuse and finding that he believed her. "He's been to Tortuga... Told me that I could have it as my own. I agreed, thinking that it would be a wonderful thing to have, since I love it there. It turned out very different than what I thought. What about you? What are you doing about Hades? Going along with him or against him?" He asked, finding himself wanting to find out more about the interesting creature in front of him, who also happened to be beautiful as well. An added bonus.

Mulan smirked when she heard that Jack wasn't quite happy about what Hades had done to Tortego. That was what she had been hoping to hear ever since she had "accidentally" stumbled into his lap. "I am the leader of the Hero's Army, a group of people whose main goal is to stop Hades and right the worlds. Will you join us, Captaain Sparrow? One of your evident skill at swordsmanship would be of great use to us, not to mention we have all the young beautiful girls." She gave him a small smirk. If he refused her offer, she would have to fight him, something she really didn't want to do since the rum had made her a bit clumsey.

"And what would I get in return?" Jack asked thoughtfully, thinking the offer over. It did seem tempting... Very tempting. "And how beautiful are the girls we're talking about? Some of them are single, I hope. It would be very disappointing if you talked but they were all married and whatnot. I am rather good with a sword, aren't I?" He asked cockily. "And what exactly would I have to do in this army?"

Mulan feel silent for a moment, thinking over what Jack was saying. "You would get the satisfaction of doing something right and good, of helping to save Tortuga, the place you claim to love." She fell quiet for a moment, taking another drink of rum. "As for the girls, they are every bit as beautiful as I am. I do not know if they are single, but I'm sure one of them is at least." She took another drink, draining her glass. "And since you are such an excellent swordsman, I hope you will take part in training thae army as well as fighting." Mulan slid off Jack's lap and stood in front of him, one hand one the hilt of her sword. She had nothing more to say and was now waiting for his answer. "So, Captain Sparrow, are you with us or against us?"

"Aww," Jack whined. "Why did you have to get off? I was enjoying that..." He grumbled, thinking the offer over some more. "You had me when you mentioned girls. I'm in. But only as long as there a girls. If I get there and there are none that are single then I'm outta there, you hear me? I'm with you, I suppose. I'll do the training thing, too. When will you want me? And what are you going to do with that sword? You don't know how to use that thing."
