The Sereni-Tree and the Third Anniversary Party by TheRealMe

TheRealMe addresses the crew:

"Hi, everyone. We are now safe in hyperspace for a week-long Jump. Mai has decided to start a party in the common room. But it is a special party. Because on the 27th of this month is our third anniversary! Yay!"

A party? Whheeeeeee!

Dives into Magic Wardrobe and emerges in a floor length shimmery number.

Well i'm ready!

(Edit:) actually, third anniversary? better make an effort.

*uses dinky machine to put on make up (a la Fifth Element) and to curl her hair, piles it up all pretty and decorates it with fluttery butterflys.

NOW i'm ready!

"Sure Ill get a drink but as its a partay I better gear myself up" Wandering into his room for a quick sonic shower he pondered wether to switch his gender again for the party.

"No thats far too cliche'd" Instead he wandered to his rucksack and pulled out a folded parcel. He didnt have many clothes with him having arrived travelling light but he did have that special something for occasions such as these.

He anti-persiranted himself, shaved and put on a dashingly manly fragrence. Then he dressed in a tight fit high collared Blue tunic suit with A peak of white collar showing. Hair styled elegantly and smile glowing.

He arrives in the bar and orders a tall Morgans on Ice and looks cool.

see, that why i invested in a magic wardrobe - all that messing about with soap and deodorant is a think of the past - just run through it and not only are you wearing what you want to wear but it fits perfectly and your squeaky clean and fresh as a daisy, seeing as all the dirt belonged to the last outfit.

and before you say anything, it has an AutoDryclean function.

*pushes button

see?

I so need to patent this.

**jake7 comes to full consciousness in what she thought was the backseat of a Dodge Charger. Turns out, it was just another odd prop of Cozen's and she's in a wooden fascimile. She manages to untangle herself from the silken bonds in which she was trapped and gets up. She looks about the room, but Cozen is nowhere in sight.**

Humph. The guy takes me off for a kidnapping and then just abandons me while he's supposed to be making sausage!

He must be losing his touch...

**she leaves the suite and makes her way down to the Common room where party preparations are being done.**

Wow! Has it been three years already??!? Need any help with decorations or anything?

"Huh... three years eh?"

*wanders to his room while pondering if he should join in or not*

"Hmmmmm.... may as well join, parties are always a good oportunity to get to know people better... now, what to wear, what to wear..."

*digs through his bag, he finds a dark green, nearly black, well tailored dress shirt and a pair of dark tan dress pants*

"Hmmmm.... this will do..."

*after a shower, shave, and cologne regeme he dresses in his tight dress shirt and pants, and slides on a pair of well crafted dress shoes, looking at himself in the mirror he smiles*

"Alright then"

*heads down to the party, orders a Morgans on ice and starts to circulate the room, looking for someone he knows so that he may be introduced to the crew*

Oooh everyone's getting all fancy! All I have to say is you all better put on layers. After a drink or twenty there may be the potential for twister!

And Jake, if you wanna help decorate, I could use some help with the pretty streamers and blowing up of balloons. I know we have an "automatic" machine for nearly everything, but I think it's kind of fun to decorate the old fashioned way.

Trey reaches down for the good stuff and pours it into a tall glass. She slides it down the polished surface of the bar. It slows to a stop directly in front of Jadehand. "Heh. Still got it!" Trey mutters to herself.

Then she takes a closer look at Jadehand.

"Jadehand? Are you okay? You look sort of like you were on the losing side in a brawl!"

She reached down for the medkit under the bar.

"Here, I have some antiseptic and some bandages. Uh, should I call the doctor?"

"Thanks Trey. I think the Doc might be busy with the refugees, though I could use some patching up. I got a bit reavered getting them out of there."

*JadeHand collects his pint and slips behind the bar and into the brewery room.*

"I should probably check on the vats considering the party..."

*JadeHand sits down on a small cot and pulls his mostly shreaded shirt off of his shoulders revealing the deep gashes made by claws and teeth. Trey begins applying the antiseptic causing much wincing from JadeHand as his wounds are cleaned. After some bandages are applied, he finishes his pint of painkiller and lays down for a short nap.*

They get away so easily these days. Way back when, it took a concerted spam attack to free the kidnapped lovlely. Sigh.

*Plunks down 200 kilos of fresh pork sausage, leaving it for the yetis' dinner. Realising that he's still on board the ship, heads to the showers to wash off the pig blood. Once clean, cozen sets up a croquet pitch in the arboretum. That done, he wanders down to the common room to join the party, clad in full body armour, croquet mallet in hand.*

*Kinda sidles up to jake7.*

Will you have this dance?

Not so much a good idea to carry one's cellphone in one's pocket whilst playing full contact croquet. Trust me, I know.

Why, certainly, sir!

"A Festival!?" Sir Kei leaps to his feet and dashes for the exit of 'This Land'
"Come Sir Jazaf, There is much merriment yet to be had!"
Jazaf chuckles at Sir Kei's gleeful response to the recent announcement. "Why not, I'll mingle with everyone and find out what's been going down."
As Sir Kei runs out of sight Jazaf mutters under his breath,"and why or what you're doing here."

At the Party

Jazaf enters the room looking every bit the part of a man from the Orient from his slip-on shoes and Silk pants to his Mandarin Shirt.
He walks over to the bar and sheepishly asks for some green tea.

Sir Kei stands at the entrance to the common room, taking in the sights and sounds. Spotting Jazaf at the bar he walks over and taps him on the shoulder.

"Sir Jazaf. I didn't realize this was a formal affair. I am not dressed in accordance for a formal dance." Sir Kei indicates the sleeveless sweatshirt, under sized track pants and leg warmers he still wears as a result of his raid of the pool lockers. "Do you, perchance, have any clothes befitting of a noble Knight?"

Trey hands Jazaf his green tea and sizes up Sir Kei. "What is this, Queer eye for the straight guy, Arnold Schwarzenegger version?"

Sir Kei looks confused to Jazaf, who tried to hide a snort of laughter. "Who is this Arnold and how does he come to have an 'odd' eye? I had a squire that had an odd eye, but he had been kicked in the head by a horse.... He wasn't quite right after that."

That was too much for Jazaf and Trey, who dissolve into uncontrollable laughter. Sir kei looks back and forth between the two, clearly not understanding their mirth.

Quincey lands the Sereni-Tree in a peaceful meadow with a nearby wood, a stream leading to a mirror-still lake and beautiful white-capped mountains in the distance. It is a scene out of a Disney movie.

After a short time, TheRealMe, some DRDs, and his robot Sparky complete setting up a pavilion covering a number of picnic tables with a nearby barbeque and some kegs filled with Jadehand's finest concoctions. A stage is also constructed.

Upon the completion of this work, TheRealMe climbs up on the stage to address the crew.

"Hello, welcome all, to an important event. Three years ago, Ebonezer started the very first clubhouse thread. This was before the Sereni-Tree existed in any form. We have had many people join us and many leave, but we continue on through various changes and mutations. This celebration will be a chance for us to relax and have a good time!"

TheRealMe thinks for a bit. "I believe that the only regular participant we still have with us from that first thread is Jake7. Jake7, would you care to say a few words?"

Drat. I was too late! Well, I'll say something anyway!

**jake7 steps up to the mic, clears her throat and begins to speak**

I was thinking the other day that it seems unbelievable that we've had this sometimes silly/sometimes perilous adventure going on for three years. It seems like just yesterday when Ebo started the "I am NOT a guy clubhouse". Never in a million years would I have dreamed of the adventures we'd all go on. The various crew that would come and go and how much fun we'd all have together. We are a crew and a gorram fine one at that.

I'm proud to be one of you.

Time: Sometime After The Fall Of The Immortals...
Location: Mount Unattainia

13 the Chicken-Man Hybrid Thing squinted his beady avian eyes, surveying the glass altar with the look of somebody who has discovered a sandwich in their fridge that has grown green mossy fur, and is still debating whether or not it is edible.

"Smelly," 13 noted, scratching at the stone steps leading to the altar with his claws.

"DON'T DO THAT," a deep, thunderous voice warned.

13 yelped, hand going to his swordbelt. Remembering that he had been forced to trade the sword for corn, the Chicken-Man simply squawked and bared his hen's teeth, or lack thereof.

"Who's there?"

"NOBODY AND EVERYBODY. NOTHING AND EVERYTHING. EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE."

13 hesitated for a moment, fist-sized brain buzzing. Finally, he let out a confused, "What?"

The booming voice sighed. "YOU'VE COME FAR. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEEK?"

13 noticed that each time the voice let out a word, the altar glowed momentarily scarlet. His meager brain managed to come up with the idea that the voice and the altar were linked somehow. How, he didn't exactly know.

"Maybe...it's the ALTAR that's talking to me!" 13 realized aloud, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

The voice sighed again. "WHAT IS IT THAT YOU SEEK?"

"I wish to know the secrets of the Glass Altar!" 13 attempted to bellow. "I wish to learn how to-"

"APPROACH, MORTAL!"

13 shrugged, and did as the voice said, walking towards the Glass Altar tentatively. Standing in front of the great slab, 13 peered into it, seeing nothing but his own reflection.

"This isn't so great," he grumbled.

"SILENCE. THE GLASS ALTAR KNOWS ALL, SEES ALL BEFORE ALL EVER WAS. THE GLASS ALTAR-"

"I could have just gotten a mirror, but noooo, I have to track down a prophetic scroll, slay a legendary behemoth..."

"I SAID SILENCE, DAMMIT, AND I MEAN IT! JUST SHUT UP AND TOUCH THE BLOODY ALTAR!"

13 shrugged again, tapping the Altar once.

The thing glowed not scarlet this time, but white. A bright white, so bright that a smarter person would turn away. But 13 the Chicken-Man just grinned dumbly, blinking as it grew brighter still, and then suddenly flooded with black.

13 squinted at it, tapping it insistently. The Altar's surface ran with strange white text. 13 attempted to read it, eyes widening at it's secrets.

"BEHOLD, MORTAL. THE GLASS ALTAR HAS JUDGED YOU AS WORTHY TO BECOME IT'S VESSEL."

"What does 'lol' mean?" 13 asked, and the voice ignored him. "What's a 'MSG'? Isn't it that thing that makes chips taste good?"

"NO. IT IS NOT."

"Oh." 13 sounded disappointed. "That's alright, I guess."

"NOW, YOU SHALL BE VESSELATED, MORTAL."

"Is that even a word?"

"MORTAL?"

"No, 'vesselated.' I mean, I know you're this all-powerful being seer thing, but you can't just-"

"YOUR FACE WEARIES ME. GO NOW, THE SECOND 13. BE BORN INTO THE FACE YOU WORE IN THE BEGINNING."

"Now, what in twenty-three flavors does THAT mean?"

13's question was not answered, though, as the Chicken-Man was swept up from the Altar, eyes widening as he saw a great black portal open in the sky, flame and lightning issuing from the hole in the roof of the world.

"I'd like to get off, now, please," he whimpered.

The voice boomed up at him as 13 drew closer to the portal, eyes pulled open by the force of the wind he created.

"ONE LAST THING, MORTAL. WHILE WE HAVE AN OPEN POLICY CONCERNING MESSAGES, PLEASE BE CIVIL WHILE RESPONDING TO OTHERS."

"What? What the-HWAAAAAHHHHHAAAA!!!"

Several Milliseconds Later In Time...

Cold. Wet. Cold + wet = liquid. Add taste (represented by 't') and c+w(t)= w2.

Water. As 13, now free of memories, his avian qualities, rose from the Sereni-Tree's lake, he shouted, "Where am I? Who are you people?

"DAAAAANNNNNIIII!!!!!"

OOC: Yes, I'm back, and worse than ever! Oh wait, not worse. Better, with a new smell and flavor!
