Maccus lead Will and the girl down into the brig, keeping his eyes open. As friends of AnaMaria's, he could throw them far farther than he trusted them.

Will: *nervous enough, clings tight to Rachelita; mumbles to himself* This isn't going how I planned.

A pile of rags and sea growth moved behind them. The lump struggled awake, as if they had been asleep for a long time. "Wi-William?" Bootstrap Bill asked. But the small sentence was all he had the energy for before he colapsed again, turning back into the pile of rags and sea growth.

A pale girl, lightly freckled stumbled from a barrel. Had she fallen asleep suddenly? Or had a loss of balance. It not matter. "Repeating yer own name again, Billy?" A flash of green came out of the shadows. "You've sat in the brig too long." The body came out of the darkness and to the bars. "Lunatic..." Harmeet perked up. "New word for da game! Explain the root of lunatic!"
Bootstrap: Hmm, probably started with your family tree.
Harmeet winced, "Ohhh, that hurt deeply, luv."

*At the steps, stumbles AnaMaria down to the brig* Will: *eyes wide* AnaMaria! You're okay! AnaMaria: *looks at her body* You sure? *notices Harmeet, voice stutters* Ha- Harmeet?

Harmeet glances up and waves her only arrow at AnaMaria . "You've the pleasure of knowing me, how?"

AnaMaria: *shakes her head rapidly* I'm sorry. I've just heard of you through Jones' insane ramblings a few years ago. *Will gives Ana a confused look* I'll explain later, Will. Harmeet doesn't know, I'm sure.

Harmeet stood from her crouched position. Her legs were numbed, so she cluched the brig bars for support. "What is it I'm not aware about?"

AnaMaria: About my history aboard the Dutchman. *looks Harmeet over while stroking hair* Maybe you do know.

Harmeet backed away from the bars, "I'm going to guess..." she gave her attention to William, "That yer guess is as good as mine." Harmeet went back to tooling around with the feathers on the end of her arrow. "But, I'm better at answering things when they are in form of a question!"

AnaMaria chuckled, "Do you know about my history, Harmeet?"

Harmeet examined her fingernails. "Some would say age is a state of mind...Usually it's when your body grows." She slinked back to the wall. Her back glided down until she was sitting again. Harmeet didn't exactly know how to react to AnaMaria Lamar. "There are too many cheaters on this ship."

AnaMaria sighed before saying, "How did you get down here, Harmeet? What did you do? That is... if you don't mind me asking?"

Harmeet shrugged. "No use in hiding it," she sighed. "First is first, The Dutchman is not completely immortal. There are ways to die," Then she scoffed. "The lucky bastards! I'm stuck here for eternity!" Harmeet leaped up from her spot and came back towards the light. She practically pounced at the brig door, Anamaria and the others jumped back. "See, NEVER drink from that bloody Aqua de Vida.
"You'd say I cheated Jones. My ship sunk and I was bound for da locker, the only way out was to drink the Youth I bottled up. Then I struck a deal with the Dutchman to let me serve eternity living rather than under the black roger." Harmeet was inches away from Anamaria's face, it was getting a bit 'Too Close for Comfort.' Harmeet lowered her head. "That's 5 centuries more it was, ago."

AnaMaria sighed, "I've had my own dealings with being immortal. Don't think you're alone, Harmeet."
