OOC: Heck if I can remember which shuttle I had all my loot in. I thought it was the Napoleon, but that is far from a factual statement.

I do hope your stay in Zanzibar will be a pleasant one and we look forward to your flying with us in the future. Now if you can be sure that your seatbelts are securely fastened and that your tray tables are secured in the upright and locked position we will be stting down momentarily. Until then hear is some music to get you in the mood."
SR switches off the mike and and pumps Led Zepplin's Imagrant Song into the passenger compartment.

*Wakes up, grumpy and slightly freaked out, from his strange dream, only to hear Immagrant Song, which brings a grin to his face as he yells up to the cockpit...*

It was a three way tie between that, Heart's Dream of the Archer and Led Zepp's Battle of Everymore.

All the Potters get up and start dancing like crazy. Head banging and all.

Except for Pete who's looking at the magical wand as yet another blurry, silver orb begins to emit from it showing a large stone building and a door labeled "SECRET BACK ENTRANCE THAT NO ONE AT PS SCHOOL IS EVEN AWARE EXISTS" Then as suddenly as it appeared the orb bursts into tiny bits.

Right and that no plan thing always goes so well!

I'm taking Peter and heading out for the school straight away. Curiosity is getting the best of me and I'm hoping Flower can be found, what with the not so subtle clues from the wand. Anyone want to come along?

Ok, everyone say it with me
"TRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPP!"

It will be FUN!

Checking that everything is secure, he gives his feral grin (tm) and bows before Mai

JAZAF

"TRRRRRRAAAAAAAAPPPPP!" the Potter kids shout in unison and TRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPP as it happens is exactly what was needed to startled Jazaf from him slumber.

"What in the Nine spheres of hell!?" Jazaf bolts up to stand then falls to the chair beneath him. "Whoa! stood up too fast."

"Sir Jazaf! So glad you agreed to join us!" Sir Kei exaggerated and swept up Jazaf in a bear hug before he could protest.

"We're off to save the TRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPP!" said one of the clones.
"Okay you," Jazaf points at the clone "I'm gonna call you Will. As soon as you kids learn some magic I want to see you for something."

"Magic? You mean like this?" asks Peter twirling around the magic wand with a flair and suddenly turning a small rock into a frog.

"Oh and Will were going to go save Lady Flower, but it's going to be very dangerous and our greatest adventure yet!"

The rooster squawks, giving the beady eye to the clones. Maybe their "magicks" would be able to cure his morphasizing (tm ;)) condition...

Taking a cue from BC, the Rooster-13 shows off his own manly arsenal: a razor blade tied to his left birdy-foot.

"Left over from the fights," the Rooster-13 caws. "Forty-four matches and I haven't lost one yet."

Q: Fish or Hogarth?
A: Marillion.

"Well I can't speak for anyone else, but my plan is to barter a whole bunch of stuff, schmooze with the locals and look into the possibilities of buying a bit of land. Of course making a plan is often folly on Zanzibar, yet one must do what one can."

SR with Snarky's help quickly covers the shuttle with a large canvas tarp as to keep it's obviously modern appearance from offending the natives, then put up a crude tent made from another tarp and then set up shop.

WYTCHCROFT

and thus it was that - you're late! quiet in the back - for a lecturer i don't come CHEAP! My time is money - somebody else's.

now where was i?

quoting that learn-ed sauce, The Wytch-taker Guide to the 'Verse - we find that Pioneers and astrognats such as JJ. Whedon (from TIMEnear magazine)are correct to state that there is no concrete evidence, of any kind, of ALIEN life in the'verse - despite the hoo hah (lasting all of five seconals) surrounding the discovery of the mysterious moon of Latex - which of course turned out to be a hoax.

no evidence whatsoever.

except possibly the rock.

discovered completely by chance - and throwing the Captain's golf game off completely - the Rock, was determined to be - at least by those who were watching it plummet out of nowehere, to bounce off the roof of the ship, via the captain's head into a HOLE-IN-ONE -- intelligent, and, on analysis, older than any known rock previously hurled in a game of golf.

Imagine then -- the morbid and creepyfying hush that fell over the crowd (all of whom were to imediately form a new and dispiriting religious cult)- the hush that fell as the Captain,holding his swollen head - retrieved the ancient and offending interstella rock and -- holding it up so all could see, revealed upon it to be a word: A - WORD... in the beginning was the word...

and the word was

BUMP.

Great! So everyone ready to go? I saw we start off in about five minutes for the school. Shouldn't have any problem finding it with the little wonder of a wand there. Although, its clues are so very ambiguous, enigmatic even. If only there were someone who was good at interpretting such things. Alien things. Hmmm...

OOOH I have an idea! I'll be right back. Don't leave without me!

*Rushes back to the ship and gathers up a box from her secret stash of really cool stuff.
The box is labeled simply, Help.

Let's see I wonder how...
The box begins to shake and starts to expand and grow into a familar shape. A large blue Police box. The door opens and out steps...

THE DOCTOR! (well The Doctor clone anyway. You know the real man is far too busy with his own hero stuff. )

"Hi there! Welcome to Zanzibar! We could use some help with an potential adventure/disaster"

"Fantastic! Let's go!"

*Runs back to the gathering crowd and introduces the new recruit.

Hey, Potters and everyone this is The Doctor. Doctor, this is everyone!

The group (me, Seryn, Simon, potter clones, BC, and whoever else is along for the adventure... sorry I can't recall whose all in the group going on to find Flower)sits down to rest against a brick ledge after nearly an hour of walking.

Whose brillant idea was it to walk?
Oh right, that would be me.

So, aside from the blisters and sweating the adventure part of the adventure seems to be on hold. I don't even know if were going in the right direction. We just need some sort of sign to let us know that...

"Hey guys look... " shouts Pete as he points down the block at a rather large billboard "WIZARD SCHOOL ENTRANCE" (you know if you're a wizard/witch, but not some crazy, kooky space adventurers looking for trouble... you need to go the other way... really GO AWAY!)

BC looks at the sign, holds his fingers up in the whole "I'm-an-artist(with an e)-considering-how best-to-balance-this-piece-of-artwork" style, then draws his greatsword and hacks off the bottom part of the sign

"That looks better now, doesn't it?" He asks, re-sheathing his sword and leading the way down the path.

SR steps out of even deeper shadows and promptly smashes a bottle of Tree distilled starshine over the menacing figure's 'head' and shoves him into a torch mounted on the wall setting the cloak on fire. The figure is instantly engulfed in flames and runs of down a side corridor screaming.

"SR you saved us!"

"Hardly, that was most certainly a flunky. Evil genius' always delagate away the task of 'dealing' with unwanted visitors."
