With a bartender like Cozen you do realize we are all apt to be too drunk to actually function through the shower...

Oh well! Should make things a might more interesting.

What? I can still function through the shower.. oh, through the baby shower... we'll just sit here quietly and drink whilst they oh and ah over the shinies.

What's this about the llama being shampooed? was there a llama shower too? When's the Yeti shower?

Floating in the pool on her back, Corbin the Yeti gently holds her new baby in her arms. She coos at it a bit, then smiles up at SimonWho.

"Corbin is happy Doctor was here. Corbin honor Doctor. Call baby 'SimonYeti'."

The other Yeti howl loudly and then their voices rise in a high-pitched screech.

Ervin the Yeti nods, and slaps SimonWho on the back (knocking him down). "Is good name. Is good omen."

Corbin looks left, then right. "Corbin ready for baby presents, now."

Soul is carrying the diaper bag, the toy bag, the bouncy seat, the play mat, the floor blanket, the swaddling blanket, the nursing blanket, the spare rattle, a complete change of clothing for both Sera and Serenity and a teddy bear.*

You're naming him after me? That's so sweet. I'm honoured.

But I think before you have a baby shower, I need an actual shower. Probably two showers. And also to shave off most of my hair.

You guys have fun floating for a while. I'll be back.

Shadow snuck silently into the decorated room and slipped over to the table of gifts quickly depositing two packages.

She and Ghost had worked hard to get these gifts ready, after all, these people had been nice so far anyway. And babies were innocent.

Her mission complete the girl slipped out of the room, Ghost was waiting as was the odd room she had found. Maybe she and Ghost could stay there.


(The packages are wrapped in old newspaper and not wrapped well (hey they're just kids), on one is something resembling the letter Y and another the letter S because neither girl can read or write well Y for Yeti and S for Serenity)

With a brief wave, she settles down cross-legged in the most out of the way looking corner she can spot, and with chin resting on palm, watches the two engineer types work.

Good girl.

SR notices the arrival of Seryn and gives her a look and a nod. He confers with Jet and they both agree that the main drive is humming along just fine. He double checks the status and finds that it's all quite stable.
"How about we dial it down to 20% of capacity and let it be for the next eighten hours?" He proposes to Jett.
"Sounds good. Till then" She replies.

SR walks over to Seryn and smoothly lifts her up onto her feet and into his embrace.
"So just what exactly do you have in mind?" He asks as he stares deep into her eyes.

"I have been meaning to ask about that. If those rabbits breed like crazy, eat lots of food and have no natural predators then aren't they a potential ecological disaster. I mean isn't there a way to practice rabbit birth control? Otherwise they are potentially worse than Tribbles. I don't like to think about it, but if all the other food runs out won't they start nibbling on us in our sleep."

they do have natural predators, somewhere. I was told about them anyway. Yeti for one apparently.

Esme wont have any more for many years, i'm not sure what the guy who owned them said - he was drunk and his translator was worse, but i got the feeling he was talking decades.
And as for eating us, no, that couldn't happen. the trick is to get them all owners - as long as they are around humans, humans are one of their own. Hence the reason they'll leap to my defence... but let them go feral... yeesh. There was one famous one, lived in a cave somewhere in england... ate a few of Arthurs nights one time. was eventually killed by a bunch of monks and some kind of divine artillery.

But that could just be the drink talking.

But it is imperative that we find all of these guys new owners.*holds up the rabbit, who stretches and fixes one eye on SR, while the other roves off around the room. Seryn giggles then places it back inside her bodice to sleep*

We might have trouble with this one.

Well, there's a bit of food here for the party, should keep the alcohol from making us fall down, at least until our supper thing. I'll cook us up something nice in my room.

Oh and water helps too.

A bunny for Fredrick? really? huh. I wonder if any of the bunnies like rum? Are any of them black? I once had a dream about someone named Black Hair, maybe it was Black Hare instead. *shrugs, drinks*

THEREALME


TheRealMe walks onto the Sereni-Tree’s bridge, to find Quincey up in the pilot dome. She is still as she was for the Second Gala Pageant: naked except for a layer of blue and yellow body paint.

“Oh, hello, Bride5! Uh, what are you doing here?”

Quincey raises an eyebrow and frowns. “Hovering. As ordered by you. Perhaps you remember? Something about not performing a wedding while grounded?”

TheRealMe grins sheepishly. “Ah, yes, of course!” He gazes out of the bridge’s windows at the impossibly huge Tree looming above him. “Hmmm… I see that we are still in close proximity to the Tree. Good! Hold her steady, Bride5.”

TheRealMe climbs into one of the empty control stations and raises his arms. A pair of metal and plastic gauntlets descends to encase them. As TheRealMe moves his arms about, this activates the massive grappler arms on the sides of the Sereni-Tree. He flexes his arms and moves his fingers about. The grappler arms mimic him. “Computer, open main cargo bay hatch.”

The computer sounds like Eddy Izzard doing an impersonation of James Mason: “Acknowldeged. Main cargo bay hatch open.”

With great concentration, TheRealMe maneuvers the grappler arms to gently pick up the Original Clubhouse from the cargo bay and deposit it onto a branch of the Tree. Quincey keeps the ship level and steady as a rock. TheRealMe smiles. “There! We have a treehouse again, for those that want it. Computer, close main cargo bay hatch.”

”Acknowldeged. Main cargo bay hatch closed.”

TheRealMe shrugs in a certain way and raises his arms. The control gauntlets detach and rise to the ceiling, deactivating the grappler arms. “Say, Bride4? How are the repairs coming?”

From down in Engineering, Jet’s voice comes over the com. “Everything is pretty much ready to go. Got the mains online. We are spaceworthy again. We could even fight if we had to.”

“Excellent! What about the permanent dimensional portal to the Pub at the Bottom of the Tree?”

There is no response for a moment as Jet checks some readings. “Yeah, that’s fine. Strong connection through the hyperspace link.”

TheRealMe keys the com for ship-wide broadcast. “Hello everyone. This is Me. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m about ready to move on from this place. I have put the Original Clubhouse in the Tree, so we have a Treehouse again. Anyone may stay aboard Sereni-Tree or may occupy the Treehouse or may wander back and forth between them as you desire. However, if you elect to say aboard Sereni-Tree, I must warn you that there may be… peril!”

Oh, we should go see Fredrick soon then, I'm sure he'll love Reek and Havoc.
Sounds, like we're ready for adventure again. Maybe we'll find something not Alliance related this time. I'd like to not see them again. But they keep spreading out.
So, You have a preference for dinner?

But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

No, I'm not too picky about dinner. Either one sounds yummy.

Speaking of Fred, I wonder where he's got to.

*whistles loudly, and the entire common room shakes and Fred comes bounding (well as bounding as a bronto can get) into the room.

Meet your new pets Reek and Havoc. *Fred leans down and "sniffs" the equally curious bunnies. He then lays down in a corner of the room and both bunnies climb up his neck, all three fall asleep. Geez, you guys are real party animals.


Oooh, peril! Sounds like fun.

Oh, how sweet! And look at the little teddy bear! I do hope Safe is okay, wherever he is.

*Sera's buuny has stopped doing handstands and backflips and has curled up next to Sera on Serenity's lap, looking both completely harmless and very protective of the baby.*

Soul, look!

I think the bunny will be a nice addition to our family.

I'm thinking we can call her Toki. What do you think? It means "Rabbit" in Korean.

Seryn joins walks over and wraps her arm around SR waist, then turns to Soul and Sernity. She's absolutely wonderful. And quiet! I just know mines going to be a screamer. It runs in the family - granpa use to take great delight in telling me how i screamed so hard in the days leading up to my naming ceremony that they had to cancel it and send all the guest home thinking i was dying".

Serenity looked at Sera, the releived sigh almost inaudiable, while Seryn picked up the boots Safe had sent.

"It always amazes me how small feet can be - i mean we all met Safe, can you believe that once upon a time, he was small enought to fit these?"

She looked up at SR "I mean in theory - you were once small enough to fit these.... But i don't believe it."

She bent and gave a very brief hug to Serenity, then spoke to SR, "come on then, I believe we have a game of tennis, or metaphysics or something. And we have to discuss soundproofing in my apartment."


*true story - the vicar thought i was posessed - he'd never seen a baby that angry, while my parents thought i had meningitis, and the Dr concluded that i just had a very bad temper.

Hey, did you notice how everyone in that post had a name beginning with S? Scary.
