The Sereni-Tree and New Arrivals by TheRealMe

Seryn adjusts the belt around her hip, clipping the quiver to it by the straps, then adding to the belt a small deep hammock style pouch, into which she places Archie, who immedietly turns himself to look studiously out of the litte window chewed in the leather for just that purpose. She goes to place Esme in the bag aswell, but seeing JH's puzzled expression, she hands Esme to him.

'they're trained... to attack'

JH looks up from Esme, who has rolled onto her back and is flicking her whiskers at the new potential source of food, and gives seryn a an incredulous look

'I got them on that island, remember the one where we marooned the Governor of Port... port something or other, you remember, it was for fun, but then he tried to swim back to the mainland and almost got eaten by the squid? Well there was a tribe on that island, these two belonged to the shaman guy, they're sensitive to all things 'other, and can topple a man and have his throat out quicker'n you can say 'aye, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide'.

Handy to have around, and so damn cute.

come on.

They make their way to the common room, Seryn looks around for TRM or the cat guy, or TWG, or anyone with the slightest bit of an authorative air.

Glancing accross the room, she spots Soul coming into the room..

Maybe...

Quote:

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Security Chief is back and ready for act—AARRRGGGHHH!!!”

'Aaah, maybe not.'

'should we go pick him up?'

Seryn continues to look around for someone to warn, then just on the edge of her hearing she catches her old name, looking in its direction she spot someone she had very much doubted she would ever see again.

'It cant be.....'

Afterwards, while lying on his face on the deck, he makes a mental note to tie his shoes from now on.

*PR looks up at the announcement, then rolls his eyes, when Soul trips. PR runs up the stairs to the second floor balcony, and he stops just in front of Soul who is still face down on the floor and PR stands to attention and salutes Soul.*

TRM mentioned that you might be needing some new deputies. I'd like to apply!

Soul pauses and sees one of the new faces across the room. (What was her name...Nell? She looks different, though. Hmm...) He sees the bow strapped to her and he nods in appreciation at the quality.

He turns back to PR. "At any rate, shouldn't you ask your Mom first? I really don't want Weirdess to kill me because I give you a gun."

Will she stay in one place! Well I think I can do this now, everyone is down below and she is by her self.

Ah, a nesting mother-to-be.

Ask my mum? I was doing crazy and dangerous stuff all the time before I even knew she was my mum! Besides, I think she'd be proud.

And experience...? Well, not so much. But think about it for a second...I'm almost a security system in myself. I mean...whose gonna see trouble coming before I do? Who could warn you and everyone or anyone else about impending security threats without even opening his mouth of moving a muscle?

And why would I need a gun when I can do...that thing that I do?

*she grabs the doc's hand and pulls him behind her* I'm not letting you spend all your time in here trying to figure out what's wrong with Soul. I still need a baby's daddy. And we have lots of new folks on the tree you should meet.

*as they round the corner they see a strange man tap CMS on the shoulder* I don't like the look of him, lets go...

SW: I’m a lover not a fighter.

*twg quirks her right eyebrow* Uh huh. Well, then call TRM...or call out her name and distract him. I'll do my confusion thing until PR gets help up here.

*twg sees CMS's nest and feel sorry for what she's about to do. she some how has her trusty hula hoop, huh, where'd that come from? She begins spinning it round her hips as she runs up to CMS and the man in black...*

Wow! That is so cool. What is this? *she reaches for the straw and gauze, hitting the man in black with the hula hoop and throwing him off balance. The straw falls into his face, the gauze tangles about twg and the man, trapping them within the hula hoop.*

Well, you’re new…who are ya?

Well lets get this over with, I swear once this is over my debt is paid to those two asses. Pullrd me off my ship to do this dirty work. It humiliating. I am feared and respected mind you. So please don't hold this against me.

A ha! Knew it was here somewhere!

*Out of a satchel comes...an accordion and the Man in Black scowls.*

*The Man in Black puts down the accordion and sighs.*

There my mission is done. Well Lady if you would be so kind as to pass the message along to Soul for me. I am free of my debt to Ash and Xander, so I wish to take my leave of this accursed ship. If you ever have the need of a respectable pirate, please don't hesitate to call upon me, the Dread Pirate Roberts. Is there anything else I can do for you my lady?

*CallMeSerenity looks to tMiB and shakes her head.*

CMS: Um, no. But please do not forget your accordion. It is giving me the creeps.

*tMiB smiles and puts the offending instrument away.*

As you wish.

*tMiB pulls his cloak around himself and just as suddenly as he arrived, disappears.*

to Jadehand - well, he didn't ecactly give them to me... We traded.

Then she see TWG and the doctor running along the third floor, just inside the door of the room they enter she see a man appear as he removes an invisibility cloak.

*gasp* Oh my god! ROBERTS?? Roberts? the Dread Pirate Roberts here? Butterfly's break out in her stomach, the usual reaction to seeing or hearing of a guy she's fancied for years... oh yotz, why can't pirates get agents? then they give advanced warnings about appearnces. Still, brief pause to appreciate the ass from this angle....aaaaand back to buisness.

Whoa! hold on there!

Its a very long and involved story, I don't much want to go into it, though I guess its gonna have to come out sooner or later.....

Upshot is, I'm, ahh.. not really Nell.

*braces for reaction, looks up to find that SR is simply staring at her*

I'm not Roses sister. I know that I said I was, but, i'm not, as far as I know the real Nell is still living with her husband on their counrty estate in Shropshire.*shrugs*

I used her identity to hide for a few years, I got word several moons ago that I didn't need to do that anymore. I thought about leaving...

*throws her hands up* well, you were gone! Mad Morty wanted your job, I couldn't keep refusing him. Gods, I never thought I would see you again, I thought you were someones wacky tribal ornament by now - you're gonna have to tell me what you were doing - and well, the rest of the crew? nyah...

Anyway, these guys turned up, I decided to go with, I left the serum on the ship, so my disguise wore off, and here I am.

Though honestly, taking over this ship, not a problem, the security is crap, people just keep popping in and out, devil may care like *gets all happy* Do you realise the Dread Pirate Roberts was just here? *sighs* oh he's so gorgeous. *pouts* and he came and went and I didn't get so much as a chance to scream 'I want your babies' at him. *grins - back to the point* I mean I understand that their security officer has been dead for a while, but still...

How did you get here?

Though saying that, I get the impression that though taking the ship presents no problems, keeping it would be a major pain in the ass.

Regardless, thats not my intention, hell, I was even thinking of trying something new and making myself useful.

Oh don't look at me like that! Still, Hi! my name is Seryn *points and sticker* Holds out her hand to shake SR's, as he grasps her hand she pulls him into a quick hug.

So Seryn,
You're thinking of staying on seeing what happens eh? That sounds good, I mean they have a pool table and FUNHOUSE pinball, and a swimming pool, and a bar. Very familiar.
I agree holding the ship would be a problem. I'm still trying to figure out the priorities of the folk here. Leave the head of secruity dead in a freezer for a while, quick! everyone rescue Serenity from the singing telegram....seems odd, but certainly entertaining.
Staying and being useful, with an armoury like yours and 2 vorpal bunnies? Likely not too hard.
Good to hear you don't need to run anymore, glad whatever that was got resolved.

Inlaws think he hides her cause she's carrying future heir to throne, inlaws send assasins, magicians,a few zombies and one very unconvincing were-ferret to get girl. no luck, then one day inlaws killed in a freak landslide whilst on holiday.
Same old, same old. *grins*

Yeah, I reckon it might be fun, useful...

I think I heard that they wanted deputies for the security team.

Not sure I like the idea of going from Captain to deputy though, offends my girly dignity.

First order of business however is to set up some kind of system of early warnings, if we can't stop people suddenly appearing we can gorram well track them when they do.
Do we go all mystical, or stick to good old science? You know I think I had a book somewhere on how ghosts are mostly radio waves and magnetic disturbences, the same might be true of magicm or whatever it is thats letting people on and off this boat Maybe we cold rig the sensors to tell us about any changes to the magnetic fields? though, that works in a hut on an island in the carribean. For all I know magnetic waves on board a starship could be about as stable as a pissed pirate on a pogo stick...

Screw this, I hear theres a game of pants-off twister going on, I vote we go watch.

THEREALME

Inside Citizen’s impressive armory on Boros, Bride6 admires the matching pair of Desert Eagles she has discovered. She loads them both and sights down the barrel of first one, then the other, getting the feel of each weapon. She stocks up on ammunition for the pistols.

“Mine!” she says.

How did you get here?

Oh don't look at me like that! Still, Hi! my name is Seryn *points and sticker* Holds out her hand to shake SR's, as he grasps her hand she pulls him into a quick hug.

I missed you you old bastard.

As for what I was doing it was a long story lass and not much of it pleasant. Another time perhaps when were are to drunk to know better.
How I got here, that I can't tell you. Not won't, can't.
I missed you too, perhaps that's why I'm here."

Same old, same old. *grins*

Yeah, I reckon it might be fun, useful...

I think I heard that they wanted deputies for the security team.

Not sure I like the idea of going from Captain to deputy though, offends my girly dignity.

First order of business however is to set up some kind of system of early warnings, if we can't stop people suddenly appearing we can gorram well track them when they do.
Do we go all mystical, or stick to good old science? You know I think I had a book somewhere on how ghosts are mostly radio waves and magnetic disturbences, maybe we cold rig the sensors to tell us about any changes to the magnetic fields? though, that works in a hut on an island in the carribean. For all I know magnetic waves on board a starship could be about as stable as a pissed pirate on a pogo stick...

Screw this, I hear theres a game of pants-off twister going on, I vote we go watch.

"She's a mite whimsical in the brainpan."

SR steps in front of Seryn blocking the doorway.

"You can play in a minute but for now, it's time to stand fast me bucko and hear me out. Do you know what nine out of ten dead pirates all have in common? They failed to think things through. I don't care if you really aren't Nell, but you really are my captain and once a pirate captain always a pirate captain. Maybe you are thinking that being a pirate was a mistake, but your biggest mistake was not realizing what you were getting into when you took the title of captain. It's not like a job a the hair salon that you can quit once the shine goes away. You have commanded men (and women) in a brazen criminal league focussed upon the flaunting of all law and extortion for profit by threat and force. Even if you could get the crew to agree to let you off the hook there's the entire 'verse to contend with. If word get's out that Voodoo Nell has given up the plundering and pillaging, every other pirate out there will beat a path to your door looking to deprive you of alll the loot you ever earned. It doesn't matter that you may not have it or never did. Pirates get drunk and tell tales and there a lot of raids and attacks that you have had no part of that have been blamed on you and not by nice cuddly pirates like our old crew, no but by animals only barely human. There are governments that will blame their atrocities on you because everyone hates a pirate. There are bounty hunters, sherriffs, privateers and naval officeers no end, out there, searching for the notorious Voodoo Nell. Lastly there will be people out there that will continue to commit terrible acts in your name once you have stepped down. If you stay active and continue to build a reputation based on true exploits others will a tad more reluctant to think you a easy target or a quick false flag to fly. You see you can't just walk away. We can lay low for awhile, but in time you will have to fly the black flag again. If you choose you may play the Robin Hood and try to do some good. Perhaps you can take a page out friend Roberts' book and cede your legacy on to someone else. Or I could kill you."

Seryn's eyes go wide as pie plates and her face goes to a shade of pale that's almost reflective.

"Well, actually we would have to fake your death. Don't worry we'll figure something out."

SR stands aside from the door.

"You can run along and play. I'm going to get a bite to eat and find a room with a door that locks and sleep for a week. I haven't eaten or slept in three days. So you'll forgive me if I've been a bit gruff."

now just a second! I know we look a bit loony at the moment, but we can be a force to be feared. If you're a part of this crew, we stand with you. You can be sure of that. No worries...well, maybe a few...but we always win...okay two of us have died once or twice, but we're alive now...just know that if you need us, all you must do is ask.

SR looks out of the infirmary door and realizes he's too damn tired to walk to the kitchen and decides he doesn't care about a door with a lock as he climbs onto the examining table and falls asleep instantly.

Twenty minutes later he awakes with a blood curdling scream and with his dagger in his hand before he's completely conscious. He sheaths his blade and wanders out to find a room with a lock, If only to keep from killing someone in his sleep.

Seryn feels herselve pale, and then begin to redden with anger

'you think I don't know all this? You actually think I don't realise exactly how many people would like to seee me dead right at this moment? I've spent most of my life wanted, where do you think the paranoia come from, right now I have eight different weapons on me! Does that seem healthy to you? Back in my room theres a small armoury! you know that little story I mentioned? well, you may not believe it but most of it is true, the biggest lie is what killed them!

*calms*

I know full well that leaving the crew is going to stir up a storm of crap, for me and for them.

Killing me is not an option, the real Nell intends to return, with or without hubby, I can't kill off her life like that, so in the mean time?
For your information, I have thought this through, You remember that cabin boy I had? Well, NOT A BOY. And i'm not talking about age, though he was full well too old for the post.
The important factor here is he was girl! Elizabeth was the name she gave me, and even now she's on Roses ship, she has my serum and at the right time she's going to go back as me, or as Nell. All that time spent in my cabin? Yes I know what the crew thought we were doing, well she was learning to be me, my mannerisms my speech, my style of fighting even.

Seryn trails off, suddenly thoughful.

But you know what? one of us is eventually going to have to go back to support her. I don't like the thought of her on her own, in the beginning anyway.

*anger returns*

Jack, I'm not in the party mood anymore, i'm not fit company, for anything much...

From outside the infirmary, they hear TWG, as Seryn listens to what she says, she begins to get flustered, unused to that kind of blind, whole hearted support...

Thank you TWG, I... but if people come after me the first thing i'm doing is leaving, i'm not letting innocent people get caught in the cross fire, its kind of you to offer but... s**t hits the fan? you are all to clear out.
I'm not prepared to change my mind on that account...

SR stands aside from the door.

Seryn just looks at him, then stomps over to TWG, picks the plate off her back, and stalks up the stairs with it, momentarily she returns, scoops up TWG, throws her over her shoulder and takes her up as well, after depositing TWG at the top of the stairs she leaves, heading roughly in the direction of the west wing.

And they're rabbits, not marmots!

Oh, thanks, TWG!

But you don't always make things worse, where would you come up with an idea like that? You know we all love you here. We love your weird ways.

I'm sorry if I was a bit rude earlier. All these stupid pregnancy hormones, you know. I'm just a mess.

Besides *she says, with her mouth half full* I've made some improvements to my original design.
