OOh! Mai-Quest!

Let me just go run and get my katanas!

And a banana. I'm really craving bananas today.

JAZAF

Jazaf awakens from meditation and stretches.
'That's better, I never thought those drinks would waste me like that. Swordsman, yes. Drinker, no way in hell.' He walks out of whatever or whoever's room he was in and heads to the Common Room. He gets cut off by Serenity who is rushing for the Bananas on the bar counter.

He looks around the Common room and feels as if something is amiss.
'What's been going on?'
'Well, The Party was a big hit. Safe and Jack went to Boros, a few of the Brides are missing, and TWG just might be PR's mom. Oh yeah and Mai is missing.' Informs TheRealMe.
'Thanks.'

Glad he's been brought up to speed but not completely satisfied, Jazaf closes his mind and reaches out with his senses. He begins to feel a tug towards Serenity so, he walks over to her.
'Mmmmmm, Bananas are pretty tasty.'
'Serenity?'
'But I think I want pickles too.'
Jazaf follows Serenity to the kitchen.
'You know what? Forget the pickles I could use a sandwich.'
Jazaf then watches Serenity make a sandwich that would make Dagwood proud.
'Serenity!'
She looks towards him as she takes her first bite.
'How long? How long has it been?'
'Not sure. I just found out from Simonwho myself. I don't even remember when it could've happened.'
'Now I know you're a fully capable person but.....if the search for Mai gets rough do you think you should risk losing it? For now, you should think of keeping your unborn child safe.'

*Serenity gives Jazaf a look that would destroy a lesser man.*

Okay *he says* I relent. Do whatever you want.

*She takes her sandwich with her and storms out, heading toward her room and her katanas. She mumbles grumpily to herself.*

Tell me what to do! Like I'm just supposed to sit around knitting for the next 9 months when my friend is missing!

*Suddenly, however, her sandwich doesn't taste all that good, so she stops by a trash bin to dump it. And that's when she notices a crumpled, glowing piece of paper...*

Thank you all for coming, I...

* TheRealMe looks down at the new arrival, puzzled. *

Huh? Bananas? Who the hell is that? Where did he come from?

Hmmm… Logically, if Mai fell into a vortex in the space-time continuum and was whisked off else-where-when, then someone else could have been transported back here to compensate. In fact, that would make a lot of sense, in that if you don’t conserve mass, the equations get pretty dicey…

* TheRealMe takes out his com-link, interfaces with the ship’s computer, and begins tinkering with complex calculations. He pauses. *

Or is this some poor sot who has been recently thawed from being one of the experiments of the Insidious Doctor Rat, down in his secret cryo-lab?

Or did one of you folks buy him at our last stop?

Doctor SimonWho, he seems a little bit... well, nuts. Can you do something for him?

* TheRealMe addresses his companions in the Sereni-Tree’s Security Office. *

Thank you all for coming. As you know, Mai is missing, and we are about to undertake a quest to find her. With my superpower of dimensional portal creation, I will be able to make a portal to wherever and whenever she is now, just by concentrating on her. I will open this portal and we will walk through one by one. The down side is that I don’t know where she is, what kind of environment it is, or what dangers we might face there. Also, we will do this locked behind the doors of the brig. The first time we went on a Mai-Quest, an evil entity on the other side used a portal of mine to sneak on board the Sereni-Tree, despite it being guarded at the time by Bride1 and SimonWho. This entity later became the Dark Soul, and most of you know what trouble HE caused us!

Anyway, prepare yourselves. We’ll be ready to go shortly. Thanks again.

* TheRealMe then occupies himself with his own preparations. He opens a briefcase on a nearby desk and pulls out a long thin strip of black cloth. He attaches one end to his right shoulder, and the strip sticks there and wraps itself around that arm, leaving its other end seeming to float gently in space. He attaches another strip of black cloth. And another. *

* TheRealMe has finished putting on his attire of protective black ribbons. He seems wrapped up like a mummy, except that the end of each of the numerous ribbons floats in the air, gently waving about like tendrils underwater. He looks ridiculous! *

So, are we ready? I’m the best protected, so I’ll go first. The rest of you follow, one by one.

* TheRealMe leads the others into the brig and securely shuts and locks the door. Then he reaches out with one hand and concentrates. A spot of light appears on the wall before him, which expands to become a ring of fire surrounding a dark void, about the height of a tall person. TheRealMe grabs his high tech squirt gun and jumps into this hole in reality. He is gone! *

* A spot of light appears right next to where Mai is standing. It expands to become a ring of fire around a dark void. From this hole in reality pokes the head of TheRealMe as he is stepping through, still incased in his numerous black ribbons. *

Hey, Mai! I…

*As TheRealMe steps forward, he finds no ground underneath him. He falls a long distance to splash into water. He surfaces, sputtering, with the taste of salt in his mouth. As he treads water, he looks up to see the hull of a great wooden ship sliding past him. Far above, he sees Mai standing on a plank extended out from the ship’s main deck. She is being threatened by two individuals on the ship wielding cutlasses and black-powder pistols. Above Mai’s position, TheRealMe can see great billowing white sails, and beyond that, flying from the highest mast, a black flag displaying a skull and crossbones. *

Pirates!

Arrrgh, me maties…

*One by one, TheRealMe’s companions start issuing from the portal that is still near Mai, only to drop into the ocean.*

Huh. Well, I’ve had more successful plans. Hey! Can everyone swim?

TheRealMe marvels at the odd yet profound things that come to mind when one is delerious from lack of oxygen while simultaneously being chewed upon by a Great White Shark.

For example: If Ath and Serenity are brother and sister, then why does she have angelic wings and he does not?

Another example: If piffleponies pop into existence whenever somebody wants one, why is it necessary to breed them?

Or another: What ratio of sane vs loopy people do you need on your team before being able to successfully execute a rescue mission?

Hey, PR!, try flipping this rope to TRM! You might startle the sharks and make them go away. At the very least, you can try to drag TRM to safety...

**jake7 thinks about what she just said for a second and realizes that might not be the best plan. The sharks might chase after TRM and that would be bad.**

Um, PR? Never mind dragging TRM, see if you can lasso a shark. Try dragging the lassoed shark around and see if the other sharks will follow!

Since Serenity is flying about, she might be able to push me closer while getting in a good position to snatch TRM while you're distracting the sharks...

CITIZEN

Citizen clutched at the pistol in his hand as the footfalls grew closer. This was quite possibly the stupidest thing he had ever heard of anyone doing. There had just been a terrorist attack on the space port of capital city, and the people who owned the offending Shuttle were now sitting just feet away from the Alliance soldiers sent to investigate, and the stupidest thing of all was that he had gone with them.

Who the hell were these guys? They didn’t look like your average terrorist, hired guns perhaps, but not folk to go blowing up other folk if there was no coin in it. Citizen stole a look at the smoking wreckage of the shuttle, and then shot a look at the two men sitting next to him. He pulled back the slide just enough to catch a glint of brass, and gently guided it back into place. There wasn’t much he could do now but follow their lead. The feds wouldn’t believe that he was running with these guys by accident.

But then he was a business man. Citizen stood up and holstered his weapon.

“What the…” Safe began before Citizen cut him off.
“This is my gorramn town, I’ll handle this, put those weapons away and follow me.” He said with blustered self importance. Safe and Jack looked at each other, as their minds were made up for them by the security forces.

“Who the hell are you!” The sergeant barked.
“’ullo sergeant, Citizen, at your service.” Citizen said, removing his hat. “I represent the small business concerns around here; we depend on this space port for our business.” Citizen took a step closer to the man, who looked ready to draw down on him there and then.
“Who are they?” He barked, swiping a hand in the direction of Jack and Safe without taking his eyes off Citizen.
“Business colleagues of mine, times like this even a respectable business man such as myself can’t be too careful, you understand.” He paused for a beat, glancing back at the devastation in the shuttle bays. “I don’t suppose we could come to some little, arrangement, regarding the clean up contract here, could we?” The sergeant looked at him with disgust.
“We don’t hire the likes of you, I should have you three arrested for being here, but I doubt your worth the paper work, get the hell outta my sight before I shoot all three of you.” Citizen dipped his hat.
“Some people just don’t know a good deal.” He said backing off slowly. Jack and Safe edged back slowly behind him. Citizen turned and led them out of the space port.

“What was that all about?” Jack said, spitting his anger out at Citizen once they were outside. “We could of taken ‘em.”

“I told you.” Citizen shot back. “This is my gorramn town.” He pulled up a hatch that led to the network of Sewers and tunnels that made up his underground network. They dropped down, and were safely off the street. “Now, I think we should talk about who you fellas really are, and what you’re really doing on Boros.”

Just then there were more footfalls from further up the tunnel, followed by a surprised shout.
“Oh!, Look! Look! There are people up ahead! Let’s go introduce ourselves!”

Citizen turned, pulling his pistol far faster than you would expect for a man in that hat.
"What the hell are people doing in my..." He trailed off as he caught a glimps of the people further up the tunnel. "Is that..."

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
Remember, the ice caps aren't melting, the water is being liberated.

REPEATED FROM THE PREVIOUS THREAD:

Quote:

Bride6 stops herself just before lobbing the grenade in her hand. She turns to Bride7. "Hey, don't we know those guys? Why, it's the guys we picked up during the Reaver attack! It's Mister Safe, and Mister Jack, and..."

Citizen takes a closer look at the pair of women. His eyes strain in the dim light to make out the features of the curly haired blonde. "Bobby Sue, is that you?"

Bride6 blushes, eyes downcast. "Hello, Mister Citizen."

Bride7 chuckles. "So you know this guy, too?"

"Uh huh. I used to work for him."

"She was a dancer," Citizen informs the group.

Bride6 looks up and glares at Citizen. "I was an ACTRESS!" Bride6 insists, face redder than before.

From above, there is another explosion.

Thanks, Rat!
