Sir Kei sighs loudly, but doesn’t get out of his chair. He quickly starts shoveling eggs into his mouth.

“Ruby? A little aid here please?” Sir Kei calls around a mouthful of eggs, as he dodges the first snakes attack.

Reacting like this kind of thing happens quite often, Ruby reaches behind the bar, grabs a pair of steak knives and throws them towards Sir Kei. They whistle through the air and stick into the wall beside Sir Kei’s head.

“C’mon, Ruby, you know that I am no good with thrown weapons. Something a little bigger than these please?” Sir Kei manages another mouthful of eggs in between attacks. He still hasn’t left his chair. Ruby shrug’s and holds up her hands in a helpless gesture.

“Dragons spit!!” Sir Kei curses as a snakes attack knocks over his breakfast. Reaching down, he breaks the leg off the table and swings at the nearest snake, knocking it across the room near where the newcomers sit.

Sir Kei notices them for the first time and pauses his attack long enough to smile and bow. “My apologies kind folk. My breakfast has become… how shall I say… problematic. I shall endeavor to finish this off quickly.”

TheRealMe rises and bows to Sir Kei.

"Greetings, Sir Knight, and may I say that I am quite..."

He gets out nothing more before a giant snake slams into him, knocks him over, and starts to constrict itself around his body.

"Mmmmmf!" he adds.

JADEHAND

*Jadehand quickly releases whatever he was reaching for in his bag. He stands quickly. As his legs straighten ,his chair is thrown back to the floor behind him. His hand is on his cutlass and it sings free of it's scabbard as he charges towards the snake.*

"Captain!"

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

"You think i'd actually let someone name a kid Spawn? What kind of a heartless torturing cow do you take me for?"

*thinks for a bit*

"god i think that would almost be as cruel as calling them Pubert. Do I really come off as that awful?"

"Ok, well, that is, in point of fact, a plan. Not a good one, but a plan.
Tell me, would you actually be capable of that strenuous napping once you've soaked so long everything has shrivelled up and fallen off?"

Cloning, complete with tampering with DNA to check unwanted reaverish tendencies?

Well, okay but I'm going to have to consult my mad doctor colleague on this one. Bring the DNA samples to the sickbay and I'll analyse.

Lets hope Needle doesn't eat this one too.

PSYCHICRIVER

*There is a shimmering in the air in the Sereni-TREE common room.*

*Out of fat air, appears none other than the mysterious, and long-time gone BLUE BOX of SimonWho!*

*The shimmering subsides leaving the box with a very corporeal presence. Nothing happens for a second, then the door opens, and just inside, stands PsychicRiver.*

PsychicRiver

"Two by two, hands of blue."

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

Down on Zanzibar, in the Village Inn, while wrapped up in a snake, TheRealMe feels a strange stirring in the Force.

"Arrrrgh! Be it PsychicRiver back, now? Being about time, it is!"

JADEHAND

*JadeHand hesitates briefly*
"The kid is back? ....Cool."
*JadeHand refocuses and brings his Cutlass down hard across the scales of the snake entwined around Captain TRM. The body of the serpent fails to split as much as JadeHand thought it would. His eyebrow quirks as he processes, then he shrugs. He spins the blade in his hand and brings in down hard, tip first like a large dagger, just behind the head of the oversized terror, penetrating it vigorously. Pinning it, head first, to the floor below. It's grip lossens slighlty as it's body thrashes in agony. He reaches out to TRM.*

"Captain."

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in

TheRealMe reaches up to take Jadehand's hand.

"Arrrgh, thank'ee, me matie, fer... Ahem... I mean, thank you, Jadehand."

As he is pulled to his feet, TheRealMe draws his own sword and looks around. It seems that Sir Kei is doing just fine against the few remaining snakes. TheRealMe starts scanning the rafters for that silvery eyeball.

As he continues his visual inspection, TheRealMe addresses Sir Kei. "Oh, Sir Knight? Is this, perhaps a typical breakfast for you? Fighting monsters, I mean?"

WASHSYOUNGERSEXIERBR

Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

OOC-WOW so much has happened while ive been away!! Great work TRM on the background and history!!!!

There was so much to take in Wisp didnt know where to start. Magic, Barons, Immortals, Prophecies!! The reference to The tree was definatley them but what about the key?? It was probably magical in orientation but Wisp remembered a lecturer during his youth:

There is life and there is living. The two things are separated by a door. The key to this door is science. Mankind survived without any technology like animals but when we found science we thrived and began to LIVE

Wisp had always been interested in magic and now had an opportunity to tinker. He needed instruments and gadgets, This Magical Key was out of his hands but maybe he could slow down this harbinger until the rest of the crew could find the key.

A tree will drop many seeds. Each seed has its own purpose and mission which is unknown to itself. It is through every seed that the tree survives.

Wisp couldnt return to the ship though, The immortals were searching for him and if they found the ship then the Verse wouldnt be safe. He needed to reinvent the last millenium of science using what he knew and what was available within this stone fortress.

"Kind Sir I am from The Tree in the sky. I cannot explain too much as it may give the immortals more cause to harm me but I believe I can help you. I have friends here also and together we are the seeds."

Wisp leaned forward in his seat and positioned his hands in the direction Of Sir Devans sword pulling it towards him with his electromagnets. Sir Devan was surprised at the display but not the activity.

"Now in order for me to help you I must see all the metals you have mined, A selection of the magic you are capable of, and a workshop"

"This will all be provided i shall commision a Men to be at your disposal Immediatley"

"There is one other thing. The Techno heretic we saved was from a group that came here some years ago. If you have any items that they left behind they would be most helpful in my activities"

Sir Devan thought for a moment then stood and summoned the entrance again. "I shall direct you to the items you request." He exited then walked swiftly down a corridor. Wisp rushed after him and struggled to keep up, as the moved through gradually darkening and narrowing tunnels.

They reached a wall marked with a star with eight points and Sir Devan stopped suddenly and did not move. "This door was sealed with powerful magic as the items inside were viewed as too dangerous and cryptic to be studied. I am allowing you to enter with a condition."

Sir Devan hadnt looked at Wisp at all during this exchange and his eyes remained firmly fixed on the centre of the star.

"As you enter this room you place an oath on your Soul. If you use any of the items against us then your Soul is forfeit and you are damned to an Eternity of torture"

Wisp Gulped heavily and ran his hand through his hair thinking intently on what he'd gotten himself into. "OK"

The knight placed his finger on one of the points and traced across the star in a pattern leaving a glowing white trace on the rock. The sequence was of over a dozen locations on the shape before the line flashed and the rock pulled away. The interior was dark at first but slowly the light filtered in revealing a graveyard of alliance ships...Complete with the bodies of Alliance soldiers strung up from the celing rotting.

SAFEAT2ND

“Not…typical,…kind …sir” Sir Kei grunts as he struggles with both hands to bend back the head of the snake encircling his body. There is a loud snap and the snake goes limp.

“Normally, his Majesty waits ‘til midday meal…” Sir Kei brings the broken end of the table leg down on the head of the snakes he is standing on, ending its struggles.

Using his shirt to wipe the snake gore off his hands, Sir Kei smiles a broad goofy smile and extends his hand to TRM. “I am called Sir Kei. I have yet to figure out the ‘Sir’ part of it. I intend to make amends for disturbing your breaking of the nightly fasting, by inviting you all to sit with me and perhaps we may forget this ugliness with some heroic stories? What say you?”

The big man bows and gestures to a large table in the corner.

Seryn pauses, right in the middle of their, ahem, activities, as a faint tingle pushes all the other thought out of her head.

"Um, SR? You know when you get that faint... no, make that strong, sense of forboding? Like the poop is about to hit it big time?"

"mmmrf?"

"I really think that it would be a great time to run around with a great big sign saying something like 'Whatever you are about to do DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!'"

*SR gives her a stern look, really really not caring two hoots either way*

"Oh never mind then... but I reserve the right to act like a big smug know-it-all when whoever is about to do something very stupid eventually does it"

*earns herself another (slightly strained) look from SR, and drops the subject, but is already practising the 'I told you so' dance.*

I need to speak to you.

Ah, it's visiting time again. How sweet of you to come.

We have things to do.

Please... as though I wish to help you. As though I wish to help anyone.

I will let you have your own thread again.

Ooo. Done. But there had better be good questions.

JADEHAND

*JadeHand withdrawls the glistening steely shaft from the no longer quivering body. A satisfied look on his face. He grabs a rag from the nearby table and runs the cloth down his blade from base to tip, clearing the fluids from it. He draws a second cloth from his bag and polishes the blade before returning it to his scabbard.*

Adventure is fun, but what in the unholy

is going on? Who exactly is summoning giant snakes at mealtimes? And how bad do we have to hurt 'em to make it stop? I prefer to eat in peace.

Sir Kei, you said this happens often? What happened between you and the one who brought us this surprise?

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that

Come to my madness

Come to my madness

SR found himself in a terrible emotional dilemma, his entire being is focussed on Seryn and seeing to her "pleasure" and then she began to speak and suddenly he had to focus on her words. He didn't want to hear it, but it was his committed duty to listen. Her message was interesting, she had a point, though it seemed to be all intuition and speculation. He was about to do the dumb guy thing and dismiss her idea completely out of hand and yet he began to feel tingling sensation up his spine that screamed 'DANGER!!!!!!!!!' In on smooth action he spun Seryn around like a top and laid her flat upon the bed behind him, fell forward into a tumble, snatching up his cutlass and springing to his feet in front of the room's only door with his sword drawn.
The door burst open with great force and in strode a figure dressed all in armor to the sound of Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man.

"Snarky your timing leaves something to be desired, but you sure know how to make a entrance."

OOC: Seryn, I am hurt that you would think me unreceptive.
