Ren watched the girl's outburst with pursed lips, his eyes watching her and the back and forth on the street. He half hoped someone would come alone and give him a reason to leave. When she collansed ont he ground and started muttering about her mom hating her he rolled his eyes. "Look luv, a lot of people have mothers who hate them. Mine in particular. The waterworks won't get you home will they?"

Zoe looked up at him and glared. Her eyes were perfectly dry. She hadn't cried since her adopted father left when she was ten. Her sorrow quickly reformed into anger, like it always did. "Am I not allowed to have a little psycological break-down here? I am not in my own world anymore! Do you think this happens to me all the time!?! Tell me, if I'm not allowed to freak out, just how I'm supposed to deal with this!"

Ren shrugged. "Not really my problem is it?" he said and turned. "Maybe i'll see you about girly." he said, waving over his houlder without even turning. He saunted off down the street, he figured his bed would be a better place to crash after all.

"Don't call me girly!" Zoe shouted after him, then she stood up and dusted off her pants. After doing so she glared at him again. But he couldn't see her. His back was turned. ((What now? Zoe still doesn't know she's in the Pirates of the Caribbean world. She thinks she's gone back in time. Want to enlighten her with some moonlight, or do you have a better idea?"))

((Maybe an attack on the town? Ren has a few peices of the treasure he's collected, so Barbossa and his men will try coming after them. Then we can work the moonlight magic.))

((Sure. That'll be fun. Zoe can show off her karate, since she doesn't have a weapon. Though she has seen the movies. If the Black Pearl shows up, she's going to recognize it.))

((Woot, plans are fun ^^))
Ren happily ignored her, grabbing an unconsious man's half empty bottle of rum. He drank a gulp, then choked when he heard familiar sounding cannon fire. He cursed loudly, spinning to look past the girl and out towards the harbor. As he'd feared, the clouds had come in. he gulped another swig of the run and tossed it back at the man he'd taken it from. As he watched, cannon balls flew towards him, growing closer and closer as the ship glided into the harbor. People woke up all over town in a panic, they all knew what was happening, just not what do do about it. Ren however had a purpose, he needed to grab his things and leave.

At the sound of cannon fire (cannon fire!) Zoe whirled around to face the harbor. She was not prepared for what she saw. The Black Pearl. The. Black. Pearl. The Black Pearl. "Goddess! Could this get any worse?" Zoe said, shouting at the sky. She was in those stupid Disney movies! Ugh!
Zoe saw the pirate running, and decided to follow him abd ask him if her asumption was right. She still could not believe it. "Hey! Hey! Is that..." she paused, still running, "the Black Pearl?"

He stoped short and turned to look at her oddly. "What did you think it was, a flock of angels?" Ren asked, still slightly annoyed. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the way of another cannon ball. He realized that if this girl was actually from a different world as she said, she probably had no idea about how things on ships worked. He had no idea of her skills, but dodging cannon fire was probably not one of her specialties. He groaned to himself, then turned to her. "Stick close to me." he said and started running again, not waiting for her to answer.

Zoe cursed as she realized she'd almost been squashed by a cannon ball. "I'll do as I wish, thanks," she muttered. She knew she need his help though, and stayed near him anyway, getting ready, much like she did before sparring or a fencing match. Since she was weaponless, she prepared herself for hand to hand. "Is there a particular strategy they will use, or do they prefer a more straightforward," Zoe dodged another cannon ball, "attack?" Zoe had a gift for battle strategy.

Ren shrugged. "You can go ahead and forget any rules of combat. Pirates don't fight fair." he stopped short and peered around a corner. He was completly sober now. His brow was furrowed in consentration as he listened to the acannon fire. Using just the sound, he knew which direction the ship was going and which way was the opposite direction. Thankfully it was where he needed to go anyway.
"They search for things that will give them an advantage. If you can find that possible advantage before they do, you can keep them from using it. That's the most you can do besides not getting hit by anything. The Pearl's crew won't land for another five minutes, but my ship is back on the other side of the harbor." he explained as he started moving again. "We'll have to fight through them to get out of here." he pulled the knife she'd tried to steal from his belt and handed it to her hilt first. "You're going to want this."

Zoe licked her lips, and accepted the knife thoughtfully. "I wasn't thinking about rules of combat. I was thinking about strategy. And if they haven't got a strategy, then it would be easy for the redcoats to take them." Zoe paused and reconsidered, factoring in things she had forgotten. "Except these pirates don't need a strategy, do they? They can't be killed."
When Zoe remembered why the movie was called the Curse of the Black Pearl, a lot of what the pirate had just said had new meaning. "The advantage you speak of are the 882 Aztec coins from the stone chest of Isla de Muerta, aren't they?" Zoe hadn't seen the movies forever, but she had a gift for remembering details. (An advantage, because she never studied for tests.)

Ren stopped short and stared at her ignoring the canon balls flying directly overhead. "How do you know aboout that?" he asked her incredulously.

Zoe swallowed. "It's a famous legend in my world, except there, it's only a legend. Myth." Zoe pushed them aside as the wall and window behind where they were previously standing exploded in wood and glass. In a moment of really bad luck, she tripped and fell. Zoe felt herself gain minor cuts on one arm, and a bruise on the other, having landed on the pirate. "Ick," she said, rolling off of him, "You're bony."

Ren raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you really think I'm able to get a whole lot of real food around here?" he asked but shook his head, knowing it was pointless. He sighed as he stood and pulled the girl to her feet and pressed them both against the wall looking around. "Well anyway, in this world your myth is real." he looked at the sky as a break in the clouds showed the moon for a few minutes. "Very very real." He sighed as he felt his flesh erode away instantly in the moonlight. He braced himself for the screams of the girl, they always screamed.
