This is Thread 62 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Early in this link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V7”. This post is a description of the ship.
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=27832
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=27832

Next in THIS thread will be a crew list.

Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=31958
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=31958

Our spaceship, Sereni-Tree, had returned to Zanzibar, the magical medieval world of fantasy role players that we had once visited before. We celebrated Christmas, the New Year, and Valentine’s Day in our way.

Down on the surface of Zanzibar, we almost became involved in a plot concerning our bunch of Harry Potter clones, Mai, Bluefishie, her little purple squid-thing pet, Browncoat2007, and some others doing something at Puffenstuff’s School of Sorcery, where the headmaster (a huge dragon) had been put into a magical sleep and replaced by an evil sorcerer.

But we didn’t. Nobody seemed too interested in that plot. Oh, well. And I even threw in some flying monkeys!

Also, Bride5, with the help of a new giant friend, built the first Zanzibarbarian golf course.

Jadehand hovered for months over a tranquil Zanzibarbarian sea in his shuttle the Ocean Cloud.

During this thread we met a number of new people: Invictus12, LeopardFlan, Mobbex, Oram, and Tatertot. We also saw the return of some old friends who had been missing for a very long time: Ebonezer, Malicious, Monkeytail, TheManInBlack, and ThatWeirdGirl (or at least her disembodied hand).

THE CREW AND PASSENGERS OF THE SERENI-TREE

Under active crew I have put everyone who has posted something since around the time of Christmas. I shuffled others off to the MIA list.

If I have missed crew or if anyone would like to change my one-line description of them, let me know. There is always the possibility that some missing folks have just been sleeping in their quarters for the last dozen threads, or perhaps they have been placed in the secret cryogenic freezing chamber of the Insidious Doctor Rat.

After the queasiness of the hyperspace transition wears off, TheRealMe addresses the crew and passengers of Sereni-Tree

"WELL! Greetings! It seems that we have some new faces here. Please, tell us something about yourselves!

"Also, we have a great number of our old friends who have been missing that have returned, some from our very first thread, including our Fearless Leader Ebonezer who made the very first post in the very first thread. Welcome back!

"We will be together during our week-long journey through hyperspace to our next destination. If you'd like something to eat, the kitchen is that way. There is the bar, where our bartender Trey can get you a drink. If you like swimming, our water park is through that set of doors, and for video games or DVD watching, well, that's over there. Finally, there is the pool table, but be sure to clear it with the Commodore before you use it. Her nest is underneath!"

Well, I'm one of the newcomers, so hi!

I'm a pyromaniac, but not into arson much, so don't worry about that (much). I have a leopard, a couple of foxes, a firebird, and an ocelot as pets. Often wacky and weird.

I also have a pack of robots (I think I have seven of them), that are extremely slow and tend to take orders very literally, and aren't exactly flexible when it comes to changes in plan. These robots actually killed Mobbex, but I still hold that it was all MSB's fault.

Oh, and I'm now an ice dragon, on account that I was dumb enough to go to Antarctica, I ended up being a frozen chunk, and an ice dragon ate me, but was nice enough to give me a new bod. I can't speak using this new mouth, but apparently ice dragons are telepathic, so that's why this sounds a little weird.

"Oh, I should mention that we have had at least two other gods among our crew. There is, of course, Malicious, our Mistress Most High, who is the goddess of charisma and beauty. Also, there is Ash, also known as XanderLHarris. She is the goddess of shindigs and... ummm... has two heads."

Bluefishie suddenly thinks, “I want some ice cream.” She goes off to the kitchen, opens the freezer, and spoons out a nice bowlful of her favorite. She brings it back to the common room and enjoys it.

After she finishes, Bluefishie thinks, “I want some ice cream.” She looks oddly at the empty bowl. She stands and picks it up, a puzzled expression on her face. She doesn’t think she feels hungry.

As she glances down, Bluefishie sees her pet, the little purple squid thing, staring at her with its human-like eyes and waving all of its tentacles in her direction.

“I want some ice cream!” Bluefishie thinks. “I do! Me!”

Ace holds her katana above her head, and glares down, first at Trey sitting on the floor cross-legged, and then at the Hand gripping her leg.

"Want a drink?" Trey asks her casually.

Ace snorts. "Sure!" She sheaths her katana and limps over toward the bar. "Look, Hand!" she says. "Look, this is getting irritating!"

Trey springs up and dashes over to the bar to prepare Ace's favorite drink.

Ace pauses when she passes LeopardFlan. "Dragon, huh? That's a new one. We had a water faerie, once. Heh. She had a loud screech! So, dragon, you want a drink? Trey's buying!" She continues on her way to sit down at a table. Her prosthetic hand whirs and clicks as she flexes its robotic fingers in frustration. "Really, I'm an agent of chaos. Or was." Her blonde hair dances as she tosses back the drink that Trey has brought. "Make it a double!" she croaks.

She leans back and puts her legs up on the table. "Okay, Hand, what's it gonna take to get you to let go?"

Ace, Bride1
Trey, Bride3

In Sereni-Tree’s Main Engineering:

TheRealMe tries to control the nervousness in his voice as he turns to address the feet of Jet, which are sticking out from under a computer console. “Ahem. Bride4? Is lightning supposed to be shooting out of the top of the main Jump engines?”

The feet under the console squirm a bit. “No. Lightning? Really?”

“That would be bad then?”

“Yes, that’s bad. But there are various levels of bad.”

TheRealMe gulps. “Like that ‘moonquake’ we had a while back?”

“Yes. Vibrations like those are MUCH worse than the lightning. The lightning only means that the Jump engines are strained and are about to explode. Did you find the reference to the phase converter coupling, yet?”

TheRealMe pages through the giant volume of Sereni-tree’s technical specifications as written down by its builder, TheGreyJedi. Jet had made many updates over the intervening years in red as old equipment broke down, new equipment was installed, or circuit pathways were re-wired. She called the book “Grey’s Anatomy”. “Yes, Bride4. Here it is.” TheRealMe shoves the book under the console. The page is covered with complex technical drawings and inexplicable magical runes. TheGreyJedi was not only a gifted engineer, but also a tech-priest and a techno-mage.

Jet drags herself out from inside the computer console to gaze at the page. She adjusts her glasses and brushes back an errant strand of her dark hair. The fact that she is so small is useful for squeezing into tight places.

“Oh, Bride4?”

“Mmmm?” Jet’s attention is still focused on the page before her.

“What DID that ‘moonquake’ signify? Why is it more dangerous than our Jump engines exploding?” At that moment, a bolt of lightning shoots out of the Jump engines and misses TheRealMe by a scant few feet.

Still studying the page, Jet explains. “We were on a ballistic trajectory through hyperspace to our new destination, as determined when we entered hyperspace last week. Now, however, we are overdue for our exit into normal space and our protective fields are starting to collapse. Once they are gone, we will each be exposed to the effects of raw hyperspace and probably be reduced to our component atoms in seconds.”

“Is this problem more sabotage by the FemaleReaver, from back when she was still on board? I thought that you tracked that all down.”

“I thought so too. But it might be possible. Or maybe the engines are just getting old. Remember, Grey didn’t teach me EVERYTHING about his creation before he disappeared.” An image of intense concentration is fixed upon the young woman’s face, but soon she is laughing. She hops up and starts tapping on the console before her, the one with half of its guts carefully extracted and arranged upon the floor. Suddenly, there is another moonquake as Sereni-tree shivers throughout its entire structure.

Jet leans back in her chair, sighs, and closes her eyes for a moment. “Don’t worry, that was me. I had to recalibrate the fields aligned with the ship’s seventh dimensional axis. They were out of alignment.”

TheRealMe looks at the readings on the various engineering consoles around him. “Does that mean that…”

Sereni-Tree shudders again.

“That’s it!” Jet smiles. “We just dropped out of hyperspace. “

The lightning around the Jump engines subsides as the accumulated energy is radiated out to space.

TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree

In Sereni-Tree’s main engineering.

Jet sighs as she makes the last adjustment on the keyboard. She looks up. “Okay. I think the engine’s main sequencer is all fixed, now.” She finishes collecting the guts of the console that had been carefully displayed on the floor and has put them back inside the workstation. She returns the cover to its back.

“Excellent, as always, Bride4!” TheRealMe says.

“Thanks.” Jet is already making updates in red ink to the Sereni-tree’s schematics.

TheRealMe is feeling uncomfortable and is preparing to depart when his com-link beeps. He activates it and answers, “Hello, this is Me.”

“Yeah. Uh, this is Quincey on the bridge. We seem to have dropped out of hyperspace in the middle of nowhere. There is no star system here. No planet.

“Check the proximity scanner, Bride5. I will come up to the bridge presently.” He waves goodbye to Jet and heads out of the great vault doors.

==================

TheRealMe arrives on the bridge and drops into a workstation. “What have you found?”

Quincey pokes her head down from her place above in the pilot dome. “Large metallic mass. About an hour away after a normal burn. What is it?”

TheRealMe smiles. “It is a space ark, traveling at sub-light speeds between the stars. It is a sort of way station. An interstellar market. Anyway, make docking arrangements, Bride5. You see, in our previous thread we received orders from our Fearless Leader Ebonezer. She wanted to raid a lost ark.”

Up in the pilot dome, Quincey concentrates as Sereni-Tree slowly approaches the docking port. She twists the left hand grip slightly, then the right as she nudges the spaceship into the appropriate spot. A series of grappler arms reach out to grab Sereni-Tree and gently guide it into its assigned berth. With a click, the ship is secured. Quincey sighs and leans back, stretching the kinks out of her muscles.

Below the pilot dome, TheRealMe sits in a bridge console, monitoring the docking procedure. “Good job, Bride5. Thank you.” He reaches over to touch a com control. His voice echoes throughout the ship. ”All Hands! We have docked at the space ark. It is a space station. A port of call. Our last, best hope to… shop. Shore leave is granted to the entire crew.”

Bluefishie comes out of the Sereni-Tree’s kitchen with another bowl of ice cream. She sets it on a table next to where the Hand is pacing. Ace is still sitting at that same table, nursing her latest drink.

The little purple squid thing slithers over to the bowl and climbs up on top of it. It starts slurping the ice cream in the bowl. “Thanks!” Bluefishie, the Hand, and Ace all think.

The Hand is somewhat startled to notice (how?) that the little purple squid-thing is an exact-but-tiny replica of Inola Teg, Eldritch Horror from the Purple Dimension. Inola Teg was encountered so long ago (Thread 6) that few others among the crew would remember her.

In TheRealMe’s private quarters, a robot retracts numerous sharp implements back into its arms. Shining surfaces move and form themselves back into hands. “All done, sir.”

TheRealMe stares into a mirror at his new haircut and beard trim. “Excellent! Thank you, Sparky.”

“Do you require any further assistance?”

TheRealMe reaches for the tuxedo draped across his bed. “No, Sparky, I’ll be fine.”

Meanwhile, in the Sereni-Tree’s common room, a number of the ship’s inhabitants are gathering, all dressed in their finest.

Tall and stately Trey, in a black dress that has some slink to it, smiles down at the newly arrived Jet. “Why Jet, honey! You are beautiful! You should come up from Main Engineering more often!”

The small woman smiles self-consciously back at her friend. “I guess I turn out okay once I get the grease and grime cleaned off.” Jet is clearly uncomfortable in her evening gown as she fidgets with her glasses and her hair.

Nearby, Bride7 scowls. “Well, you LOOK okay. But do you know how to act?”

Jet gulps.

Bride7 leans closer. “I mean, have you EVER been to a formal event before?”

Jet blushes as she stares at her toes.

“Or ANY sort of party?”

Bobby Sue smacks Bride7. “Shut up! Don’t be such a meanie!”

Bride7 rubs her shoulder. “Or what, you empty-headed Barbie doll? Or you’ll threaten to shoot me again?”

“Huh!” Bobby Sue turns away in a huff, sending her long curly blonde hair dancing. She is still clutching the urn containing the ashes of her beloved Jayne-clone2. Bobby Sue is wearing her favorite dress, a frilly, lacy, pink thing that is not entirely easy to maneuver in, as she discovers after her quick movement.

“Graceful,” Bride7 smirks as Bobby Sue teeters precariously.

“Am I on time?” The glamorous Quincey glides forward in a short red dress that looks like it was painted on. She is using a practiced walk carefully designed to display her exceptional assets to their maximum effect. Her long straight black hair shines and shimmers as she moves.

“Hmmm,” Bride7 mutters as she examines the new arrival. “I guess she plans to make a couple of extra bucks on the side.”

“Yes, Bride5, you are right on time!” TheRealMe walks in from the West Wing, dressed in his tux. He touches a lapel pin in the shape of the Sereni-Tree’s flag. His voice echoes throughout the ship. “All hands, this is Me. A group of us are about to depart to the space ark Persepolis 8 in order to celebrate the Sereni-Tree’s fourth anniversary! Everyone is invited to this event. Mai? Have you and Bluefishie got the Potter clones dressed yet? Jake7? Doctor SimonWho? Are you coming? Leopardflan, Oram, Mobbex, and any other new crew are invited as well, of course!”

TheRealMe deactivates his com-link and walks across the common room to a table by the bar. “WeirdGirl?,” he says to the Hand. Would you like to join us?” He turns to face the blonde woman still nursing her latest drink. Bride1? You would be welcome, as well.”

Ace tosses back her drink, downs it, and slams the empty glass on the table before her. “No, I’ll just stay here.” There are whirring sounds as she flexes the fingers in her prosthetic hand. The glass shatters and she flinches. “Sorry, Trey!” she calls out. To TheRealMe, she continues, “Maybe I’ll find Deuce and we’ll do some sparring with our katanas. She’s getting to be pretty good in a fight.”

TheRealMe shrugs. “As you wish. Come later if you change your mind.”

Suddenly, an elevator door opens near the bar. A pack of nine-foot tall monsters with white fur walks out. One steps forward. “Ervin come. Ervin come with Yeti. Yeti go to party, too?”

TheRealMe smiles at the Yeti. Each has made some attempt to comb and style their matted fur. Ervin is even wearing the top hat and tie that he used at the last Gala Pageant. “Certainly! Everyone is welcome.”

TheRealMe turns and makes his way back to the center of the common room, leading the Yeti. “Bride4?”

Jet enters a few numbers into the pad on the wall next to the main airlock. The vault-like door slowly swings open and the finely dressed group walks through to attend the Sereni-Tree’s Fourth Anniversary Party.

[OOC: Ok, three days and 10 tries later -- let's see if this finally gets posted!]

**Jake7 reaches out to take TRM's proffered arm and stops dead in her tracks when she hears him mention a speech**

Prepared speech? Oh my, no! I hadn't thought to prepare anything -- I've still been struggling with the realization that this is our fourth year together!

**She ponders a minute then shrugs and says**

Well, I'm not a speech maker, but here goes:

This is (and has been) quite a fun ride! Never guessed in a million years that when I joined Ebo's clubhouse that I would someday be flying through the wilderness of space in a Treehouse!

We've met many strange and wonderful characters (where *are* some of them anyway? Cozen, Rat, Ath, Serenity, and so on) along the way and have created quite a little family out here in the black.

Here's hoping that our adventures don't end anytime soon!

**With that, she takes TRM's arm**

Anyone else have anything to say? If not, let's get to the Ark and have our anniversary party! For once, someone ELSE gets to clean up the mess! ::smile::

After hearing Jake7, TheRealMe takes a hanky and dabs the corner of his eye. “Very moving, Jake7! Thank you.” He takes her offered arm and they walk together, falling in behind the Brides and in front of Mai and the Potters (with Pete Potter, still in his scuba mask and flippers, bringing up the rear).

“Simonwho, we are certainly a couple of lucky guys to be surrounded by so many wonderful and lovely ladies!”

“Ervin lucky, too!” the spokesman of the Yeti bellows.

The two female Yeti both roll their eyes.

At the bar in the Sereni-Tree’s common room, Ace is still drinking, leaning back in a chair, her feet up on a table. Though she seems casual and at ease, her eyes flash this way and that. Her ears strain to catch every sound. She takes another sip of her drink, ready for the coming attack.

High above Ace, a small figure creeps along one of the balconies above the common room, looking down and observing her. Suddenly but silently, the figure jumps over the railing.

As an instant response, Ace kicks down on the table and launches herself into a backflip. As she is turning through the air, she draws her katana with a smooth motion. She lands expertly on her feet, her long blonde hair falling all around her, drink somehow preserved in her other hand. The chair she was sitting in clatters to the floor.

Meanwhile, Deuce plummets down from the balcony, a katana ready in each hand. The small red-headed woman crashes into the table, and it breaks her fall as it collapses. Deuce dodges one sword thrust by Ace, and parries another. Deuce performs her own backflip and stands ready.

Ace laughs. “Not bad, pup. You’re getting better. This time, you almost made me spill my drink.”

Deuce smiles. She takes a breath as if to answer. Then she charges.

"Bring it on," Ace says as she parries with one hand and sips her drink with the other.

The Wytchtakers Guide has this to say on the subject of missing persons:

Over the centuries the list of the missing includes siblings, pets, lovers, husbands, wives, dinosaurs and aircraft - even apparently omniscient deities.

Since the missing are only very rarely found - this has lead to speculation that underlying esteem issues prevent successful recovery - in essence, as Zatboi from Overthair has been quoted as saying; "What if the the missing people are just somewhere more interesting? would we really want to know?"

An authorized plaque on the Alliance training moon of Jalopppi reads: Remember pilots, to lose one spacecraft is an accident - to lose two seems like carelessness.
