Thread 29!

Well, after the resolution of the Dark Soul plotline, Our Heroes landed the Sereni-Tree in a meadow among dandelions and have been relaxing. We healed, repaired the ship, sang some songs, and started breeding blue fishies and piffleponies. The piffleponies really caught on, and a race was suggested. I'll re-post the race course when I get a chance, but it is toward the end of the previous thread:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11502


For now, the contestants in the race are Serenity, PsychicRiver, and Bride6. Hopefully, somebody else will be interested!


As a lurking side-plot, Emma and Rat have taken one of our shuttles, the Admiral Nelson, and have gone off on a trading mission. These things usually end in some kind of alien invasion of us, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, we will have to go looking for that pair sometime soon.

So, who would like to enter the pifflepony races?

Okay, I’ve marked off a course. First, head in that direction, up the steep hill. From the top of the cliff on the other side of that hill, dive into the lake below. Swim to the island in the middle of the lake, and pick up one of the four-leaf clovers that are common there. Swim back to this location on the shore of the lake, and head through this thick, trackless forest, dodging trees and fallen logs as you go. Finally, a long straight-away to the finish line, where you will have to ring this red bell as you zoom past. The first one to ring the bell AND who still has his or her four-leaf clover is the winner!

Any questions?

Right!

Mount your piffleponies!

Uh, PsychicRiver, no fair levitating your pony and flying it around the whole course.



So far we have:

Serenity riding Patience
Bride6 riding Prudence
PsychicRiver riding Ororo

Hmmmm... Goodness, Droppy, wouldn't it be interesting if the penalty for streaking was... having to compete in a race? Here is your pifflepony. Good luck!

*
Was kinda getting into the zen of stirring the dandelion mash, workin' out the quantum mechanics needed to explain what be going on at the very centre of the swirlies, when he hears the "shot". His thought train derailed, and drawn by the abruptly shocking sound of the pistol, cozen hies to the appropriate Sereni-garden window that allows for a peek upon the pifflepony proceedings.*

*And sees... Molly, mortally wounded by an errant gunshot. Happy birdy plummeting off of the mortal coil. Quickly tracking the correct trajectory, cozen determines the origin of the fatal bullet.*

*Looking maybe a little flustered, yet clearly holding the smoking gun, is none other than TheRealMe.*

Oh dearest Mai, things were going so well .... Frolicking and general happiness, horsy racing, poetry on the beach, dandelion wine.

*Rationality? Empathy? Forgiveness? Common Decency? Bah! These things empty from cozen's soul quicker than the best vacuuming systems can drain the average human male of all its blood.*

I am righteous, and REVENGE, though ultimately emtpty and unfulfilling, shall be mine!

*The surviving replicant cozenroaches plumment to earth, and begin multiplying with extreme efficiency.*

Sorry, Mal-licious. However, TheRealHe has ignited my wrath. Ergo, spiders. Lots of creepy arachnids!

*128 billion black widows and another 128 billion Tarantula heavy infantry suddenly surround the Sereni-Tree Dandelion Patch.*

Ah! Success!

* TheRealMe sucks his bleeding finger and looks closer at Molly. *

Oh, I guess I just "winged" you... Literally. Well, I'll just have to get you to the Infirmary, now.

* TheRealMe gazes up at the Cozenspiders swarming over the Sereni-Tree, and sighs. *

Not again!

* With Molly cradled gently in one arm, TheRealMe creates a dimensional portal. As he steps through, he pulls a tube of Knibblet's Supendous Sun-Screen And Insect Repellant from his back pocket. *

COZEN


He is utterly still, seated at the window of the Sereni-Tree’s garden. His eyes, normally brownish in colour, are glazed with red and darting rapidly. Only this optic flickering and the rivulets of perspiration wending laharic paths along his torso belie a comatose state. He is clearly functioning at the extreme maximum of his insect guiding capabilities, sustained only by the white-hot fury burning at his very core. His mind is almost completely devoted to the vast effort required in directing each insect, each arachnid: corporal functions relegated to absolute minimum functionality.

He has given over nearly all semblence of his humanity to the task of eliminating the Sereni-Tree and it’s inhabitants. However, some miniscule portion of his brain understands that the complete eradication of The One Enemy, labelled as TheRealMe, may suffice to appease his wrath. Happenstance would have it that the distinction is irrelavent regarding the ulimate goal. That all the Sereni-Tree crew, the Piffleponies, golems and brides should succumb to the slaughter is merely irrelevant.

He would spare the one known as “Mai”, for she is the co-creator of Molly, but he knows he lacks sufficient energies to manifest such subtle discriminations.

...

His body emits a brief shudder. A setback! Small, yet signifcant. The scaled creature on the island has summoned a fire with which she (it?) enabled the consumption of his fine arachniwarriors! The remainder, programmed to blindly continue their onslaught, are slaughtered by the millions, their silken essences extracted and put to use in the weaving of fine fabrics. A loss, to be sure, 1/6th of the total force rendered useless.

Then. ... And then, gleaned from the tiniest vestige of his concious mind, from below he detects movement. The parrot, presumed dead, appears to bite the hand of the Evil One. A stunning reversal in the current paradigm that, for its shear unexpectedness, freezes all cozensystems!

He collapses, thudding from the chair on to the Serenigarden floor. Small rivulets of blood seep from his mouth and nostrils. He is ashen, white as a vampire, still as a corpse.

The metal roaches seize, by default engaging sleep mode. The billions of tarantulas and black widows halt their advances, then without purpose, scatter in random directions.

* Dashing away after the starting gun, Bride6 urges her pifflepony Prudence up the tall hill, to the very edge of the cliff overlooking the lake, but there she stops short. Already Cozenspiders and Cozenroaches swarm all around. Prudence stomps on them, but there are too many. *

Ewww! Icky!

* Suddenly Jake7, wild with panic, runs past Bride6 and dives down into the lake. *

Let’s go, Prudence!

* Bride6 guides Prudence back from the cliff edge a bit, then charges toward it. Prudence leaps into the air high above the lake. At that moment, Bride6 pulls a cord. Suddenly, a para-glider unfolds from Prudence’s saddlebags. Bride6 grabs the control cables dangling down from above, with which she steers the glider over the lake. *

We will have to thank Jet for rigging that up for us, right Prudence?

* They land on the shore of the island, somewhat ahead of their nearest competition. Nearby, Needleseye is roasting Cozentarantulas on the beach. *

Yuck!

* Bride6 hops off of Prudence, runs off to a meadow, and picks a four-leaf clover. With a smile, she runs back to Prudence, opens her saddlebacks, and lets loose some kissies. *



* As Bride6 jumps back onto Prudence, the kisses start eating all the OTHER four-leaf clovers. *



* From somewhere, Prudence has a fishie in her mouth. *

* TheRealMe, his back to the Infirmary’s wall, squeezes the last sprut of Knibblet’s Stupendous Sunscreen and Insect Repellant at the various Cozenbugs surrounding him. His last defense was gone! He tries to shield the injured Molly as the Cozenbugs start climbing up him. He starts to form a new dimesional portal to somewhere… anywhere that offers an escape. *

* And then… It stops. The Cozenbugs stop dead in their tracks, or wander off. *

* TheRealMe slides down the wall and releases a breath. *

Huh! I guess that either Cozen has come to his senses, or passed out.

* TheRealMe slowly makes his way to his feet and places Molly on the nearby examination table in the autodoc. He starts connecting sensor probes and activates the healing machine. *

* TheRealMe leaves Molly there. After some searching.he discovers Cozen down near Serenity’s garden. Cozen seems unconscious. TheRealMe touches Cozen’s forehead, then jerks back his hand. *

HOT!

* TheRealMe blows on his hand. *

Hmmmm…


* TheRealMe goes into Serenity’s garden, hooks up a hose, and sprays Cozen to get his temperature down. *

Heh. This is sorta fun.

She leaps back on Patience and they bolt back to the shore and into the water.

We will have to thank Jet for rigging that up for us, right Prudence?

* They land on the shore of the island, somewhat ahead of their nearest competition. Nearby, Needleseye is roasting Cozentarantulas on the beach. *

Yuck!

* Bride6 hops off of Prudence, runs off to a meadow, and picks a four-leaf clover. With a smile, she runs back to Prudence, opens her saddlebacks, and lets loose some kissies. *



* As Bride6 jumps back onto Prudence, the kisses start eating all the OTHER four-leaf clovers. *



* From somewhere, Prudence has a fishie in her mouth. *

Uh! Look at that cheater!! Come on Ororo!

*She rushes out onto the grass and sets off into the trees.*

Hold on tight, Jake!!

*They come to a patch of grass, and their are kissies bouncing around, Ororo accidentally tramples two.*

Whoops...oh well, Needleseye would have just eaten them anyway.

*Suddenly Ororo stops and bucks PR and Jake7 off.*

Ouch! *PR lands next to Jake7 in the grass.* What are you doing! Thats very bad!!

*PR hops back on*

Come on Jake7!!

*She hops on behind PR*

Ororo! *Points* Away!

*Ororo storms off (hehe) and Pr didn't even notice that he has a four leaf clover stuck in his hair*

JAKE7


**jake7 clings to PR for dear life as they race along. She yells to him**

Hey, in case I forgot to tell you, thanks for pulling me out of the water!!

**she thinks to herself*
Ugh. Between the fall off the horse and riding, I'm gonna be mighty sore later!

You're welcome! Hope you don't mind joining the race.

*He thinks to himself* Not to mention mighty sick.

Hey, stop eavesdropping on people's thoughts!

*Spies Bride6 and Prudence ahead.* CHEATER.

Hmm...TRM said no making Ororo fly...but he didn't say no cheating at all.

*Smirks*

*Reaches into his pocket and pulls out a wet bag of Piffle Oats.*

*He turns the bag upside down, trying to hold on to the reigns at the same time. The oats fall out but PR uses his mind to stop them falling, and gets them to hover alongside them. Then, the zoom forward at PR's will, and dance around Prudence's head, confusing the poor ditzy pony, and eventually getting it to run round in circles, much to Bride6's dismay.*

*During this time, PR, Jake7 & Ororo manage to get a little closer to their competition.*

Phase 1 complete.

*The oats now have fallen to the floor...and Patience is giong at a gallop again.*

Jake7, please take the reigns.

It's time for phase 2.

*PR grips the stirrup (at least, I think thats what it's called) and leans down at the side of Ororo, trying to hold on...he reaches down and picks something up off the floor*

Gotcha!

*He pulls himself back up, and opens his hand. It's one of Cozen's tarantulas. At PR's will, the spider is zoomed forward, where it is planted on Bride6's back.*

Phase 2 complete. I know she'll love that.

Ooh, I hope it was defanged!

BLUEFISHIE


Hullo TRM, thank goodness you're getting rid of the bugs.

*walks past TRM to see whats going on outside*

Wonder if I can find Lissa or Piffle and have some more jones...

And maybe find a Piffleponie that can be trained to live near, and not nibble on, blue fishies.

COZEN


*cough*

*Consciousness is a large herd of crazed Arabian stallions galloping on cement, is Niagara Falls plummeting upon a massive tin roof.*

*His vision is fogged from steam issuing from his ample forehead. Indeed, from head to toe he is sodden.*

*With an excruciating effort, he wills his eyes to look up. The information they gather reveals what is apparently the business end of a... hose? It requires several moments for him to focus further. Gradually, an image forms, that of a hominid. A white beard, spectacles....*

Ugh. TheRealHim, laughing!

All is lost.

*His hands attempt to form fists, but the effort is weak. It is all he can do to wipe some of the snot from his nose and spit blood through his teeth.*

*He is reduced to wasting precious energy on ranting.*

Molly! Martha... hovercraft? Spiderdinner. Why'd I give away my gorram helicopter?! The pain. The pain. Creme brulee. My first kiss just for the adventure of it was in a linen closet and is that meaningful? Inarachocolate.

Eeeew!

* Bride6 recoils from Needleseye. *

But that’s just… just...

Eeeew!

* Suddenly, Prudence jumps around wildly, trying to snap at the oats that PsychicRiver is levitating around her head. Bride6 holds the reins tightly as she tries to regain control. *

Prudence! Stay STILL!

* Then, Bride6 notices the huge spider that PsychicRiver so kindly deposited on her shoulder. She bats at it, wildly but ineffectively. *

EEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!

* The shriek echoes off the nearby cliffs. Bride6 faints and falls off Prudence and onto the hard ground. Flying oats forgotten, Prudence bends her neck down to Bride6 and slurps up the spider from her shoulder. Prudence chews on it happily. *
