Bobbie Sue is actually quite relieved to have found Shadow. She gladly escorts Shadow and Ghost anywhere on the ship that the girls want to go.

Bobbie Sue, Bride6

Bobbi Sue rounds a corner and nearly collides with a very large mechanical assistant. Ghost and shadow instantly take shelter behind her.

Snarky addresses her in a voice reminiscent of Jack Nicholson. "Excuse me are those two children you are concealing behind you named Ghost and Shadow?"

Bobbi Sue feels the hold the girls have on her legs intensify to a deathgrip.

"They are. What is this about?"

"Miss Seryn asked that I should escort them to the common room."

"I'll see that they get there myself, thank you."

Snarky replies in the voice of a very proper english butler, "Very good, madam." he steps aside and motions with his arm that she may go first. He then decides to wait in the hallway and occupies himself thinking about the motivations of all the people he has dealt with so far. He comes to the conclusion that people are strange and strolls off to engineering to the sounds of Jeff Beck's Blue Wind.

With a shudder, the Sereni-Tree falls out of hyperspace over Earth-That-Still-Is. TheRealMe pulls out his com-link and keys in a few numbers. Then he presses the 'Send' button.

"Mister Ath, kindly take us to these coordinates on the planet below. There you will find a huge Tree of indeterminate species. Dock with it. Land in it. Whatever."

TheRealMe turns off the com-link and looks around the common room. "Well, everyone, the Sereni-Tree is about to return home."

NEEDY

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

In TWG's room, the sound of running water can be heard.
A shower.
Taking advantage of his fellow crew mate's kindness, Needy now uses her shower to wash his body, in the hopes that the affect of the drugs will wear off... but mainly because the thought of a Polish guy abusing his body terrified him to his very core.
Needy scrubbed his body until his skin looked sore.
"Must. Clean. Body."
Even though Valdek hadn't been the "pole" stuck up his backside, the image of it being him had been burned in his mind.

Just then, Serenity-form popped up in the shower with him
"AGH!" he screamed as the being emerged from out of nowhere.
Covering up his manhood, Needy immediately shouted "Do you mind?!!"

Looking down at him, a smile appears on its face before it replies "No, not really"

"Well I do!"

"You're here..." Serenity-Form turns serious.

"Yeah, I know. I'm here... in the shower, now get lost"

"No, you're here - back at Earth-That-Still-Is. The place where it all began..."

"I'll say this slow so you can understand it. Geeeeeeet Loooooost"

As she sniggers at his long drawn out words, Needy moves towards her in an attempt to push her out, but his hands pass through her incorporeal body, he slips, and falls out of the shower, landing flat on his back, as naked as he was on the day of his birth.

All his dignity had flown out of the ship.

Then, he heard a gasp from ahead of him.

It wasn't the Serenity-form, that much he recognised. But he dare not look up to discover who it was.

There, standing in the doorway of TWG's bathroom, was TWG... and a number of crewmates.

After a few hours of searching, her quest is complete. She returns to her room and gathers together needle, thread, wire, and an old gossamer sheath left behind in her room.

She begins wiring together her metallic finds frantically, hoping to complete the dress in time for the pageant.**

Autumn or Winter? I have no idea. I was going to go a little outlandish with the makeup. Considering the garb, I'm thinking Dr. Frankenfurter. I might even do the Time Warp.

Strip? Ummm. Not sure the Tree is ready for that. But private shows may be available on request.

KELLYOFLUTHIEN

Kelly steps out of the shower in her mallorn and wipes the fog off the mirror. She had snuck away from Ath and Lissa to get ready for the Gala. Wrapping a soft green robe around herself, she rummages through her trunk at the foot of her bed.

It takes awhile, but her lips curve into a smile when she finds what she needs. She carefully pulls out a white dress. Cozen had once mistaken it for a wedding dress, and it could be one in a pinch, she thinks to herself as she tries it on.

The fabric is light and airy and clings to her slender form. The bodice is simple, the sleeves straight and narrow until they hit her wrists and flare slightly. The dress flows smoothly down to her bare toes, with a slight train at the back. Stepping back to admire herself in the mirror, Kelly unclasps the chain around her neck and slips Narya around the middle finger of her left hand.

Instantly the dress ignites. Flickering white flames lick at her sleeves and trail down the train to the floor. The fabric glows like white hot logs covered in ash in a bright fire.

Kelly laughs at the sight and runs her hands down her sleeves. Yup, cool and ticklish. Definitely could have been fun on a wedding night, she muses, but it'll have to do for the Gala. Checking her hair one more time, she heads back toward the Common Room.

As kelly walks into the common room Wisps jaw makes a large hole in the floor. Who was this amazing beauty?

It could be the whisky thinking ot the night spent unconsious on the floor, or even the remarkable airflow around his nethers but he had never seen a more stunning creature.

Wisp stood up and straightened his dress so he looked as sexy as a man could while wearing a little black lacy dress and said:

"Hi im Wisp" Flicking his hair over his left eye. If he wasnt in a dress he would be a walking furnace of masculine sex appeal "I was going to come up with some cheesy line but you are far too stunning for that. Can I Get you anything? Drink? food? A kidney? I have a spare?"

APRILISE

Shadow really didn't think she'd walked this long to find Ghost. They'd been walking forever! Ghost was still wearing that silly outfit, and was now clinging to her arm rather tightly after the day they had.

Mrs. Bobbi was walking ahead of them and Shadow hoped the lady was leading them to the common room. Mrs. Seryn and the others were waiting for them. She was starting to think though that Mrs. Bobbi was lost...or distracted.

Feeling a tug at her arm she looked down at her younger sister. Looking up to see that Mrs. Bobbi was not too far ahead of them she knelt down.

"What's wrong Sweet?"

Shadow listened as Ghost whispered into her ear, nodding to her sister and hugging her.

"I'm sure there's a bathroom around here somewhere."

Looking up to find Mrs Bobbi she realized the woman was now nowhere to be seen.

"Well we can't get much more lost, lets start looking."

They started with the first door they came too, and so far hadn't found a bathroom, they found a lot of other interesting looking rooms and a few doors that actually led nowhere, literally there were metal walls behind them but still there was no bathroom. So they continued searching.

Shadow really wished they would find an adult, any adult.

She should have known better than to wish anything, wishing was bad…

The next door they came to was closed. Shadow knocked lightly on the door then cautiously the two pushed it open and peered in.

It was a dark room, they couldn’t see anything. Silently the two young girls walked inside only to freeze as they saw a glowing eye staring straight at them. The small amount of light from the now open door casting just enough glow for them to catch a glimpse of the thing in front of them.

They jumped back a bit not sure what they had just found, the eye glowing eerily at them as Shadow’s hand hit a button on one of the bulky objects surrounding them. A beam of light blinding them for a second before their eyes could adjust, revealing a huge creature that looked to be made of metal and flesh.

Shadow took a few tentative steps towards it, not sure if it was a threat or not, Then it began to move, standing up and blocking out the light that had once engulfed it. The sudden movement made Shadow run back to Ghost, before she looked at it again, The thing was huge! Fear flooded them and the two girls began screaming loudly as they ran from the room.

McQ stands as the two startled the children who ventured into discovering him ran out screaming in fear. Not understanding right away why they were afraid, McQ turns and sees his reflection in the mirror and realized he wasn't wearing his helmet. He is also much bigger than he sometimes realizes.

McQ grunts to himself and quickly puts his helmet back on, bolting it into place. He decides to try finding the children he accidentally scared. Disconnecting himself from his generator, McQ makes his way into the hall and listens for the screams of the kids. He tries to track them down but they must move like lightning because they were nowhere to be seen - even with his infrared capabilities.

As he makes his way back to the lab, McQ passes a room with a door partly open. He peeks inside and sees a masculine figure dressing up in women's clothing. Puzzled, he stands for a moment, not sure what to make of this. He simply shrugs and continues back to the lab.

"What did I get myself into here anyway?" he mutters to himself.

*Walking down a hallway, Serenity is suddenly brought to a halt by two small figures running into her. Looking down, she sees Shadow and Ghost, both looking terrified. Ghost is clinging both to her legs and to Shadow with a fierce intensity.*

There you two are! I was looking for you. What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!

*Her small attempt at humor doesn't have any effect on the girls, who both look up at her with huge eyes. She does what she can to disentangle Ghost and squat down to the girls' eye level.*

GIrls, you're safe now. Tell me what scared you.

Serenity,
First Officer of Destiny
President of The Juggled Gosling Chatroom

"Here we are, girls! The common room!"

Bobbie Sue looked around and found that she was alone. Shadow and Ghost had gotten themselves lost again.

"Uh oh..."

Then there were screams. Bobbie Sue went running.

Out of breath, she came upon Serenity huddled with both girls, and Bobbie Sue let go a sigh of relief.

"Oh, hi, Serenity. It looks like you have things under control. I need to go get ready for the Gala Pageant. We Brides arrived in the middle of the first one. It was too late to compete, then."

She looked down at the two girls and thought to herself... "Leashes..."

Bobbie Sue, Bride6

Well, it has been over a week and about 150 posts since our paradigm shift away from gritty realism and toward silliness. I think it is past time for the Rules for the Second Gala Pageant to be posted. I had planned to leave these matters in the hands of others, but it's sort of dragging on, so here is my input. If anyone wishes to amend these rules, then I am fine with that, with one exception.

Rule 1: The Second Gala Pageant is open to any and all individuals who wish to participate. This is a rule I will insist upon, since the First Gala Pageant was open only to males and the women who were not judges were forced to sit around and watch passively. This needs to be an inclusive group activity.

Rule 2: Nobody will be required to participate against their will.

Rule 3: There will be an odd number of judges for the Second Gala Pageant, probably three. Ebonezer, Malicious, and CageyBee, the judges of the First Gala Pageant, are welcome to return. CallMeSerenity has also requested a position as judge, and I suggest that she be the first alternate in the likely event of a vacancy. That, or else we can bump the number up to five. Similarly, ThatWeirdGirl is requested to be the Mistress of Ceremonies, as she so aptly fulfilled that job last time, and brought us the Seven Brides as a bonus!

Rule 4: One round of the Second Gala Pageant will be based on the contestant’s appearance alone, which includes whatever outfit they might wear. This appearance is whatever they think might catch the judge’s attention, and might be elegant, or sexy, or slutty, or bizarre, or funny, or horrific. Bonus points will probably be awarded if someone can fit in all of the above categories.

Rule 5: One round of the Second Gala Pageant will be the Swimsuit Competition. This will be held in our water park. Swimming might even be involved.

Rule 6: One round of the Second Gala Pageant will be a Talent Competition, which will involve the contestants doing something. They can sing, or play a musical instrument, or dance, or compose poetry, or juggle, or perform some OTHER entertaining action (I’m thinking specifically about Needy here), or invent some clever device. However, performing a routine as a mime is strictly forbidden!

Rule 7: No matter what else happens, Malicious will probably win anyway.

Now, while the rest of you are getting prepared, I must go seek out suitable regalia for the winner. After I return, we can debate the Rules and finalize the judges.

TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree
