Deep in a bayou near the mouth of the Pantano River, a wooden shack sits among twisted vines, high roots, and still, stagnant water. Moonlight illuminates the scene, and the shack is lit from within by what seems like hundreds of candles. A single lantern at the entrance beckons all those who dare to step over the threshold.
Not long ago, only a few days or so, the shack and tangle of surrounding trees was the site of a wake for Captain Jack Sparrow.
The shack had been overflowing with pirates that night. Tia Dalma offered drinks to fight the chill and the sorrow, and the return of another dead pirate gave the crew hope where previously there had been none. Some of those pirates seemed to disappear that night. No one asked too many questions, however, as the shack is bigger than it appears on the outside and the unexpected is to be expected wherever Tia Dalma is found.
But now the missing parties are starting to return. Some are even accompanied by people who had not been there before.

"An what is it you'll do, Captain?" she asks, in sudden high good humor.
She's rather enjoying Mal. "To protect your friend on this voyage?"
no subject
"Anythin' what needs doin'."
Simple answers are the best ones.
Usually.

"Good."
Though it is usually best not to take Tia Dalma's words literally, she has a maddening habit of doing just that with those she speaks to. "Then you'll be prepared."
no subject
"Yes."
