The Sereni-Tree and putting the band back together by TheRealMe

The Man They Call Soul...

"Sweet!"

Soul begins to tune his guitar as SimonWho plunks the appropriate keys on the piano.

And, no, the strap is not made out of leather so no cows were harmed in the making. I'm sad to say though that as the strap is Naugahyde, and as such, several Nauga were, in fact, harmed.

A moment of silence please for the Nauga's....

The Problematics? *stifled snort*

I remember The Fireflies! Good times...
(Edit: TRM -- "The Fireflies" thread happened back in my lurking daze. As SoulOfSerenity said below, "Whoa...flashbacks!!!")

Karel.
Player of Bass and all Things of Seismic Proportion, formerly of Disaster Area.

Karel, does that mean that you are finally joining us? Should I put "Karel" on the crew list? Or is this another editorial comment!

I checked the Fireflies thread. It actually pre-dated the first clubhouse thread, but not by much.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=5389

Here is a list of the people in the band then:

KGB - Dictator for life, Drums
Ebo - Lead Guitar
Howdy - Lead Vocals
Cybersnark - Keyboards
Soulofserenity - Rhytham guitar and backup vocals
Gunhand - Bass
Thatwierdgirl - piano and/or any of those other things she plays
Static - Sax & backup vocals
Maugwai - Flute
Annik - finger symblos, spoons, and offical band tai chi leader
Wren - triangle
Noocyte - Penny-whistle
Astiana - shimmying and backup vocals
Insight Spinner - belly dancer/ shimmier
Fireflew - banjo
Flametree - piano accordion
Alien Zookeeper - washboard
Malicious - Dumb ass stick that sounds like its raining (understudy)
Delia - Official first fan
Bernadette - First fanatic fan
Nur - First official groupie and groupie recruiter
Monkeytail - groupie numero dos
and of course Whedonesque doing our amazing costumes!
(everybody thank ebo for the list. thaaaanks, ebo.)

Hmmm... Looks like Soul is the only one still left. Also, as I recall, I became Head Roadie with the help of my robot Sparky, who of course did all the real work.

Leaping in to take a guitar spot. And my weapon of choice?

THE GUNDAM GUITAR!!! It slices, it dices, and the clip is a whammy bar, so I've read.

And for back-up? Say hello to the Axe! Which should really be the one that slices and dices...

Jazaf hears the Call for Band members but ignores it in favor of watching the light from the fireworks dance across the lake. As he brings his cup of Green Tea to his lips he mumbles "Never was one for musical instruments."

He turns and looks at the Sereni-tree and lets his mind wander.

*coughs*

Hello people! *wanders into the room followed by 12 pairs of legs sticking out from under a large sheet. The sheet wobbles slighlty and giggles, then the other end of it sneezes*
Well, you're all probably wondering where i've been.

*blank stares*

Ok, maybe you weren't.
But, well - I succeeded! ...of a sorts... see cloning was a bust, couldn't get the formula right, so I tried growing them from seeds and even kidnapping foreign students and subjecting them to cosmetic surgery and extensive brain washing and reprogramming.

Thank you by the way Dr Simonwho for letting me use your facilities.

Then, after finishing the last Harry Potter book, I had a fantastic idea. So after some careful research, I hit upon the formula for Permenant Polyjuice!

So... Voila! *pulls away the sheet to reveal 12 brunet lads with glasses and slighly chinny looks about them*

*The Tree-ers look on agast*

I'm really sorry! I realise a dozen Dan Radcliffs isn't the ideal, but the recipe was fuzzy! I'm working on variations - it's just going to take weeks of stalking.
The life of a working mum...

But at least they are trained! *clicks fingers, and the boy wizards start circulating the room, taking drinks orders and only occasionally bursting into angst*
Just a word or two of warning - teenagers - dangerous at the best of times, and these ones have a disturbing tendency towards cardigans *shudders*.

"YAARRRGGGG!!"

A scream fills th air and Sir Kei comes bounding across room, his large broadsword held high.

"Rogue, youngling wizards!! Avert thine eyes, m'ladies. T'will be a gory scene to behold!"

Scorpion shakes his head slowly, "This isn't going to end well..."

Jazaf raises his cup high, "Go Sir Kei!! Get that one first, he spilt my drink. That and his angst is really starting to bug me." He says, pointing at the closest Radcliff.

Scorpion turns to Jazaf, "Don't encourage him."

Jazaf just grins back.

Ooooo can we play Johnny Be Good first? It's fun to play.

Wow. that's a bit.. aggressive.
The whole cloning a clone thing never works out too well. Considering HP is a clone of Timothy Hunter, this should get interesting.

Seryn walks back in sans baby and slowly takes in the devastation.

Slowly scanning the room she spots Sir Kai still holding his sword, covered in bits of boy wizard.

"!!!!!!WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?!?!?!?!
WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THE GREAT APE IMPRESSIONISTS DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO MY CLONES!?!

*stalks towards Sir Kai taking care to whack Jazaf about the head and then drags Browcoat by the ear over to where Kai is and continues to scream and rant, eventually reaching a pitch and rapidity that makes dogs start howling*

Sir Kai cowers very slightly (only very very slightly) and when she turns to go and find Mai and the rest of the clones, he starts to pick up errant parts and puts them in the waste paper basket.

Seryn stalks out muttering about respect for life, or a least for property, and not even knowing if the clones are self aware yet, and how idiot men can't be left alone with anything.

"MEN!"

SR Seeing how everything has gone terribly wrong siezes this moment as the one to announce:

"Kei it is now time for me to fly you back to Zanzibar. You have damaged my lady's calm and as it is I will suffer for that. Yet perhaps if on Zanzibar I triumph in my quest for something to appease her I shall return to stand in her good graces. If not I will at least let her simmer down a bit. Besides I have a load of trade goods I had set aside to take there anyways. So what say ye?"

He deactivates and puts away the com-link.

"Okay, Now I need something stronger. What do you suggest Trey?"
She looks at him with a half smile, already mixing a drink and replies "Some Sex on the Beach." Jazaf perks up "Really?"
Trey pours him a glass and he readily(sp?) takes a swig. The drink burns his throat on the way down and it turns to fire in his belly. Jazaf looks up to Trey to find her usually cheerful face to have taken a dark and annoyed appearance.
"No, I think you'd be much better off with the Four Horsemen. I liked the clones too, they helped me at the Bar!"
Jazaf crumples to the floor a hurt expression on his face.

No its not (says Seryn, returning with arms full of towels and other watery type stuff)... Oh ok, maybe kidnapping the students and forcibly feeding them magic potions violated a human right just an itty bit, but hey...
But no, creating a clone race is just creating life, its exactly the same as having 12 babies all at once... but with out the pain, the bloodshed, the trauma and the loss of vital limbs.

And they are not slaves, they're cabana boys! They get pay and holidays and i''m even making Blue Fishie their official Recreation Leader. Hence the trunks! I thought she could take them swimming. Plus they have the chance to travel all over the stars, seeing brilliant things and whole other worlds, and they have a nice place to live and access to top notch medical care, which is more than the majority of humans get full stop. And if they don't want to be cabana boys any more, we can't stop them... thats if they're sentient, they may not be, they're showing no signs - so far they seem to only be displaying behaviour normal to any teenage boy - its too early to tell...

Any way, I'm off to find the girls and the lucky escapees.
