With everyone aboard the Admiral Nelson who is going (including the platinum), Quincey presses the control that depressurizes the great hanger bay and then another that causes the great doors to open. She takes the shuttle out into open space, and then begins a re-entry pattern.

Somebody told you? Who would deign to tell the captain her place? Being captainy is your job, I would expect nothing less, I may not like it when it comes, no strike that, if it comes, but I will respect it.

*JadeHand relaxes in a comfy chair and takes out his pad. Again going over his checklist, studing the coded markings for which dealer to what parts from. He pulls up a map on an electronic device and clicks on several locations ploting an efficient course through the squares to ensure all parts are purchased and loaded back on the Nelson, before he goes to shop for fun.*

*He looks up at the rest of the shuttle crew and allows a smile at their excitment*

TheRealMe uses a stylus to make a note on his dataslate.

"As you wish, Captain. I will personally supervise the removal of the Chief Engineer's possessions to some cargo bay, then reassign those quarters to ScorpionRegent."

TheRealMe makes some more notes.

"And yes, we have ponies. They have been aboard for over a dozen threads, now. I expanded one of our cargo bays so that it could hold an entire ranch of piffleponies. Everyone wants a pifflepony, deep down. The ranch also includes a nearby forest. I suggest that you speak to Piffle, Kelly, or perhaps Bride6 if you care to go riding."

"Well, let's do this the easy way. First I'm going to see that man about renting a hanger for the day. We can park the Nelson inside and give everyone a stable meeting place. Also gives us a place to have all our parts delivered to. No need to carry everything about. And instead of trying to load another shuttle into the Nelson piece by piece, We'll just put the Ocean Cloud together inside. There's a reason I brought my two favourite shuttle pilots, and with our new resident engineer we should be able to get her space worthy and back to the Tree where we can spend time finalizing all the details and excessories."

*JadeHand leaps from the Nelson and makes his way over to see a man about a Hanger. He finds one repleate with tools and equipment and bargins with the man for day use. He passes the man a bag of coin, and the man gives him access codes and details. JadeHand pulls his com and contacts Quincey who lifts off and parks the shuttle inside the hanger. The door of the shuttle opens and the crew begins to disembark*

" Okay, everybody. We'll be here all day you can have your stuff delivered here. don't worry about getting too much, we should have another shuttle ready by the time we depart."

"Alright we're ready to get her parts, I should be able to handle negotiations and arrange deliveries to begin by 1:30 local time, any one wants to help is welcome back around that time. Happy shopping, everyone take a com, and yell if you need anything."

*JadeHand graps his gear and heads out to make his next contact.*

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul sits at his desk, stretching and rubbing his eyes. Sure, shopping for wedding supplies sounds like fun (

), but he needs a bit of time to relax by himself. Standing slowly, hearing several joints pop, he decides that a nice long bath should be in order.

Wandering the halls in the way to his room, he hears laughter and splashing, and follows the sound to find a...chocolate jacuzzi? Shrugging, Soul peels off his shirt, kicks off his shoes and does a cannonball into the chocolatey goodness.

"You know," he says as he surfaces, smiling at the crewmates he had splashed, "It is nice to be able to relax every now and then."

I was thinking a nice, rich chocolate cake with layers of fresh strawberries and chocolate mousse. Frosted in chocolate. Swiss chocolate, if we can get it. And then, I'd like to decorate it with whole strawberries and fresh flowers from my garden.

What do you think, Soul?

*Soul grabs her hand and kisses it, laughing at her enthusiam.*

How could I say no? That sounds wonderful! *He says.*

Well, that's settled, then. Can you do it, Kelly? What do you need me to pick up?

"Hantanyel, Soul and Serenity! I'm so excited for you both! Don't worry about the supplies; I'll call Seryn and let her know what to get. And have fun down on the planet!"

As she heads out the door of Soul's office, Kelly makes a call on her com-link and tells Seryn what ingredients she needs.

Seryn hops down onto solid ground and spends a good few minutes staring up at the sky.

*bliss*

"Jadehand! 'fore you go marchin off all business like. This isn't the planet where the shopping is happening. Thats the next one over. Can we get the Nelson unloaded and the negotiations done and leave you here to sort the building of the new Cloud?"

She finally manages to catch up with him and his long leggedy stride

"Your idea for building it here sounds ok, 'cept won't that take weeks? Can we spend that much time here? And she's a pretty distinctive ship, are you sure we want to be remembered?

Last question, do you want me around for this, or do you want to do it yourself, I'm just not getting a teamwork vibe.
And hey, doctors needles and paper nightdresses await me, and you know how much I can't wait for that to get started.

That was, um, sarcasm by the way..."

She straigtens up again, and turns back to the Nelson

"anyway, get the hangar sorted, like you said. I'll see what the others want to do."

"Oh right sorry, distracted. This is where I plan to do most of my shopping, I forgot they aren't too keen on the frilly bits here. I will need one my pilots to get us out of here. I would appreciate your help here, but I understand your need to take care of other things over there. How about the frilly bit shoppers meet us back here when you are done. Anyone who whats to stay and help is welcome. I can get her space worthy in a day. If I push, I can even have the SEP up by then, so no worries with the 'distinctive ship' thing.

I tell you what, you head on and do the other shopping, if that's what you want, it's fine. If you give me a list of any of the 'less than entirely legal' stuff you want, I'll take care of that for you, and you can pick up these things for me...."

*Hands Seryn a list....she looks it over and gasps*

"Yeah, sorry. I do need to stay here, but I need those things too. Make sure one has the metal straps and the other velcro. and at least 3 pair of those, each with a different key... As for the needles and paper nightdresses...I'll take you. I know I'm not a part of that, but you are my friend and just in case a shoulder might come in handy, mine will be there. If that's ok? Set up your appointments, and you and I will take the Cloud . .....'less I've completely misunderstood again. Remember...Male = Daft. 'Specially when I'm this distracted."

SR shakes his head in dismay.

"I can tell we are going to have to work on our communication skills. If you want me to build a shuttle in one day you need to tell me in advance and not tell me we are going dirtside to go shopping, because somehow those two aren't interchangable in my book. I have quite a few impulse buys awaiting my purchasing power out there and you want me to build a shuttle?"

SR watches the wind drop out JH's sails.

"Okay, fine I'll help, but there better be beer."

Quincey steps out of the Nelson’s bathroom, newly showered, makeup expertly applied, long black hair falling down her back, and wearing her slinky red dress. She steps into her high-heeled shoes (that perfectly match her dress) and gracefully walks out of the shuttle’s main hatch into the rented hanger. “So! Who is ready to sample the night life on this planet?”

BRIDE2

Deuce is sitting in a chair in the hanger, busy sharpening her pair of katanas. She is wearing simple grey sweats, short red hair disarrayed as always. She wipes a smudge off her face.

She laughs at Quincey. “You go on, Quin. I think I’ll pass. Your kind of club just isn’t my style. Besides, somebody needs to guard this place, once our stuff starts coming in. Oh, and I'm not sure we're all staying here.”

Squinting one eye, Deuce looks down each blade, and grunts with approval. She sheathes the weapons, puts them aside, and then begins her gymnastics workout with a couple of backflips.

No no, I don't expect you to drop everything for this SR. I'm not your captain. I'd just like you to give her the once....well, maybe twice over, once I have her done. I'll take care of the bulk of the work. Do your shopping. And anything you don't think you can get here, let the ladies see if they can pick it up.
Don't worry, I've gone over the details of the construction in my head many times, and I'm getting many of the parts pre-constructed. I only have to build a few from scratch. We're good brother, get your goods. Any help is appreciated, it's not required, eh?

Just so long as there are no froo-froo bows on the behind

I'm not too picky when it comes to color. I'd say go with something that matches the season, but we've been ship bound so long now I'm not really sure what season it is.

*Sees the expression on LMD's face already glazing over with boredom*

I'm really glad you came.

But if you'd rather stay here and play build a ship with the others I'd understand. 'Course it might not be a bad idea for you to come along with us either. Give us the guys perspective on all the pretties we try on.

COZEN

Instead of welcoming back mg with an open heart and a case of Pepsi or ten, cozen elects, as ever, to be, well, cozenish.

He leads a rather reluctant Schwartz into the crawlspace directly beneath the jacuzzi. He then proceeds to remove from the llama’s back a laptop ‘puter, various pumps, tools, lengths of pvc piping, a hose or two, a couple of 50 gallon drums filled with vodka, and some electrical wiring. Accidentally managing to gain wi-fi access to the intercortex, he downloads several pdf files relating to… plumbing.

Basic Plumbing: eh, maybe.
Advanced Plumbing: Noooo….
Plumbing For Dummies: better….
Plumbing For Spastic Retards With An Equivalent IQ Nearly But Not Quite Approaching That Of Cucumber, Spelled Out With Single Syllable Words And Utilising Many Simplistic Drawings: bingo!

Finding the “chocolaty goodness feed” pipe, he drills a hole of appropriate diameter to accommodate a new pipe. He’s forgotten, of course, to turn off the feed valve, such that he and the llama are subject to a certain amount of chocolaty splattering, but Schwartz allows an existential sigh and plugs the hole with his nose until the correct connection can be welded into place. The jacuzzi’s choccy level drops an inch or two, but he is confident the Treefolk frolicking above him aren’t in any headspace to notice anything is amiss.

He turns on all the pumps required to send the vodka into the jacuzzi’s feed line.

For those in the jacuzzi, buoyancy ensues.

Glad I could help.

(More girly dress talk)

Ew! No bows, no frou frou, just pretty.

Since I'm hoping for that outdoor wedding, I'm thinking nice, floaty dresses. Knee length, chiffon or silk or something drapey. Simple, elegant, pretty.

And I was thinking something muted for me, something that brings out the colour of my wings and eyes and then either a complimentary colour for you, or a nice floral print.

What do you think?

*glances around.*

I think LMD is going to pass out if we keep talking about this.

And will they EVER finish discussing what we're going to do so we can go do it? One of us has very swollen ankles!
