As a synopsis, Jack is held captive by an unnamed villain, the Pearl is also hijacked by the 'unnamed' villain, Jack's crew were all marooned, luckily Gibbs survived.

I guess somebody should start the ball rolling.

Captain Jack Sparrow and Villain Audition

Meanwhile somewhere on the Caribbean ocean, on board The Fancy, a dashing Spanish Royal Navy ship with the most powerful guns in the Spanish Main, plus velocity uncatchable by any other, two men were face to face, deep in a conversation.

"We been sailing for weeks now Jack, and yet there is still no sign of that island ye speak of! Don't run a rig on me boy for my patience is growing thin, or have you not notice that?" asked one of them Captain Drakes was his name.

"I have noticed it Drakes, but I never said I remembered the course, merely I said, and these were my exact words; if we are lucky enough to come across an island with trees burnt to the roots, then we are indeed, very lucky to find it." replied Jack coolly.

Drakes gritted his teeth, "Very well, it is clear to me now that you are merely buying yourself time! Gibbet! Take this man down to the brig! And Jack, you have until tomorrow to give up the bearings to that godforsaken spit of an island where you, supposedly threw away your compass; or I shall have to sink your precious Pearl down into Davy Jones Locker"

Jack had not expected this from Drakes, "Now wait just a moment there Drakes, firstly you rudely overcome my ship, marooned all my crew; and no doubt the Navy would've taken them and they'd be all dancing the hempen Jig by now, you claim my compass as yours, and now you want to sink my ship? Honestly, that does not seem fair at all to me Drakes."

"Take him away!" said Drakes again ignoring Jack's words. Gibbet came forth but Jack resisted.

"I'm curious Drakes, what is it about my compass that you want so badly? Afterall, if you're thinking about getting to Barbossa's booty in Isle De Muerta, I hate to tell you this mate; but we squandered it all, lest ye be wanting the cursed Aztec gold, which is still intact by the way, and do you really think I'd want to remember the island which I was marooned? Twice! And may I add the second time was the worst, no rum; at all! "

Drakes halted, "Yes, cursed be the gold, but that is not the gold I'm looking for! And furthermore, being marooned there twice it should be more easier for you to remember where it is! And lastly it is not your compass!"

"I found it, and so it is rightfully mine." continued Jack again, and he looked around the cabin, "If I may interject my opinion Drakes, tis a very fine ship, you really outdone yourself this time mate, how did you come about it?"

"I am here neither to listen to your false stories nor to oblige you with said information; you have no idea what I been through Jack; but as seem only fair, I shall give you TWO more days!"

"Give me a week, and if we still haven't found it by then, you can sink my precious Pearl, savvy?" said Jack looking him square in the eyes.

"Alright you have one week! Gibbet take Captain Jack Sparrow back to his quarters, and do not let him out of your sight!"

Jack was led back into his quarters, which was locked tight from outside; and once he was alone his mind started working, "Hmmm, not the gold you're looking for eh Drakes, interesting, that's very interesting..."

"Where is it Sparrow?" It was not a question, it was a threat, and Sparrow knew it.

"Well, I'm trying to help out, but to be perfectly honest with you, blows to the head are hardly a helpful aid to memory. Rum now, rum I find is a powerful memory tool. As is gold - and setting me free." Despite the major headache pounding in his mind and the welts even now forming from the beating, Jack managed a look of casual interest.

This time Valasquez didn't wait for his underlings to to administer the blow. His hand shot out with a force that would have knocked Sparrow to the ground had he not been tied up.

"I will have back what you stole, dog!" he roared. A tall and and powerfully built man, Valasquez was unused to being refused in anything long. What he wanted he took, without compunction.

"Stole is such a harsh word. I merely helped it to circulate a bit. As you did yourself if I recall correctly. Fair's fair."

This time the blow was too much. Sparrow lost conciousness.

Captain Jack Sparrow Audition

"Move!!" instructed the pirate behind him, Jack turned to look, and tried to walk, but his feet felt like lead, it was hard for him to even move. The man behind him shoved him again, hard.

"Patience is a virtue mate, unless of course you never heard that saying before, tell me the truth, have you ever tried walking with your feet clapped in irons?" asked Jack.

The pirate ignored him and kept on shoving him towards the bridge, "I guess not then, we're gonna see the captain aren't we? I can't wait, you know I been worried if he forgotten about me." said Jack again.

"Forgotten about you Jack? How could I ever do such a thing?" boomed a voice from upon the bridge, Jack squinted to see who it was, but the sun was in his eyes, blinding him for an instant.

The man stepped down from the bridge and now they were face to face, it was a man whom Jack used to know, very well, "Slept well Jack?" the man asked again with a smirk, Richard Harke, or Silver Arm, named after his silver pistol.

"Well as a matter of fact; Harke, I didn't sleep well at all, with all of the rolling and swaying, and I think you have a leak." answered Jack.

"Jack, Jack, Jack.." Harke chuckled. "Just look at you, clapped in irons, denied your freedom, and do you know why?" he asked again.

"No I don't know why Harke, and may I say you did a splendidly catching up with us."

"Oh I couldn't possibly do it on my own, without some; help" said Drakes again.

"No, not without my help." said another voice, a woman's voice, she came out of the Captain's cabin and sauntered over to them, and draped her arms around the smiling Harke.

"Esmeralda, I should have known." Jack muttered.

"You betrayed me Jack!" she said again, looking at him with cold hard eyes.

"Only after I knew of your plan on killing me, don't look so surprised love, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?" answered Jack smugly.

Captain Jack Sparrow Audition

Jack shook his head disgustedly- the state this ship was in was really quite appalling, even by pirate standards. The only thing still in one piece was the iron grating barring him from freedom. Just his luck.

"Comfortable, Sparrow?" came an accented, feminine voice from the shadowed stairway.

"That'd be Captain Sparrow, is you don't mind," he murmered, swaying to his feet so as to get a better look at his captor.

Though she remained in shadow, Jack could just about hear the grim smirk in the woman's voice. "There's only one captain on this ship. Me."

"Well then maybe we'd all be better off if ye returned me to me ship," he piped up hopefully, pacing nearer the bars.

The captain came into the dim light of the brig very suddenly. She was a dramatic looking woman, her flesh a pale olive with sharply defined facial features, her rich ebony hair coiled behind her head, her deep mahogany eyes cold and penetrating, her posture both elegant and menacing. The look on her face told Jack she was not the sort to take kindly to jokes, and his trace of a smile was shortly erased.

"I think not," she uttered over the protesting creaks of the old ship.

Jack narrowed his eyes. The exotic accent, the glaring face, the fact that she hated him... It all seemed awfully familiar, and not in the usual familiarity with most women he was acquainted with.

"Carlita!" He smacked his forehead exageratedly as he remembered. Hurriedly, he stooped into a bow, and reached to remove his hat- then realized he wasn't wearing it. It must've gotten lost while the Pearl was being boarded. Drat. "Carlita Gracela, is it not?" He extended his hand through a gap in the bars, but instead of giving him hers, Carlita folded her hands behind her back.

"It is not," she replied coolly. "Not since I married."

Jack retracted his hand awkwardly, and giving up the gentlemanly pretense, he turned around and flopped down causually on the rotting wooden bench of his cell. "Well, how about that. Lovely girl you were, always reckoned you'd end up making someone a nice wife." He paused. "Dead, is he?"

"Yes," came the blunt response. "But you're not here to reminisce with me... Well, unless of course you happen to remember anything concerning a certain trinket of mine..." Her eyes glinted as she took a step neared the iron door.

Jack's brow knitted together. "Nice little pendant? Gold, sapphire, funny engravings?"

"Guess again."

Her glare intensified, but apparently Jack wasn't cottoning on, as he started, "Er- I never borrowed one of your ships, did I?"

He jumped back slightly as Carlita slammed her fist against the cell door. "The compass, you pirateering imbecile!"

He quirked an eyebrow indignantly. "Imbecile?"

"Tell me where my compass is!" she shouted, losing her cool.

But Jack only grinned smugly, leaning back against the wall and folding his arms behind his head. "Your compass? I dunno, love, I found it meself. In all fairness and squareness, it's mine."

Carlita's tone dropped once more to a threatening growl. "You know as well as I where you found it- stole it, " she corrected herself. "Why you pirates always must justify your actions is beyond me..."

"Our actions are already justified," Jack smiled. "We're pirates, that's all the excuse we need." Under her glare, he reluctantly continued. "Aye, the compass. I don't have it no more, love, sorry."

Carlita asked patiently, "Who does?"

Jack opened his mouth, hesitated, then closed it again. He sat up and stroked his beard thoughtfully. Again he made as if you answer, raising his index finger, but again he stopped in mid breath, reconsidering. A minute passed, then once more he drew breath to speak-

"Get on with it!"

"I'm thinking! Thinking's a delicate process, ye know, ye can't interrupt someone when they're thinking, see, it disrupts the thinking and then they have to start thinking again." It was a few minutes before he spoke again, but Carlita remained silent and staring. "Ah yes. Sent it off to a dear friend of mine. Someone I knew'd take care of it."

Carlita sighed, nodding encouragingly. "And who's that?"

Another pause. Then Jack shrugged. "Don't remember the name."

The captain gritted her teeth to keep from exploding. "I want you to remember within the next twenty seconds, Sparrow."

"Uh..." He raised his eyebrows, wondering what would happen if she had no name after twenty seconds.

"One."

"Bridget? No, no, we parted on bad terms..."

"Two."

"Giselle... Katherine... Emily..."

"Three..."

"Oh- Anne! No, wait, she never spoke to me."

"Five... Six..."

"What was her sister's name?"

"Seven. Eight, nine-"

"It wouldn't be her either..."

"Ten."

"Mary!" He snapped his fingers and Carlita's counting desisted. "Yes, Mary, that's the one. Nice name, Mary, isn't it? I've always liked that name. Nice girl too, took a shine to me, I think. Though me running off and all might not've settled well with her..."

"Jack."

"Yes love?"

"Shut up."
