OOC: Well, the last couple of plots I tried to come up with sort of went nowhere. So I was giving others a chance to do what they'd like to play around with. But for the week of the 4th of July, I will be off on a much-needed vacation visiting my brother, his wife, and my darling nieces. See you later!

On the subject of things falling apart the WytchTakers Guide is notoriously ambivalent:

Oh Yeah?

Such As?

Says You!

That’s Thermo-dynamics, dig it!

These pithy and decidedly unhelpful comments are generated seemingly at random.
However – some claim that the combination and order of such comments are based
on an arcane mathematical equation which itself is based on the 2nd law of thermodynamics
resulting in a series of self-reducing results.

This is known in the trade as Diminishing Returns.

As a linear expression, (e.g.1 + 1 + 1 = 2 or 1+1+1+1 = 1), the Law of Diminishing returns has been found to be universally applicable to any structure at a quantum level.

The results can easily be perceived –
for example DR governs the structures of civilisation at every point and is the cause of the common complaint;

“Not only is this fourth Indiana Jones movie a crock of shit
but the cinema seats are lousy these days too
and the adverts never used to be this loud did they?


Balancing against the Law of DR is the perception of time as light.

Relative to humans this means that time appears almost infinite since light travels an unimaginably long way

– and vice versa.

This is the stabilising effect –
e.g. things fall apart and quickly…?
Not if you go a little further out and wait for the light of the original moment to reach you.

When the original light is perceived the moment happens again and as before.

Thus the ‘falling apart’ is held in a sort of stasis.

The downside of course means that if you unlucky enough to be watching
a crock of shit like Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull –

and on uncomfortable seats to boot –

well, you are actually watching the damn film
FOR ALL TIME.

It is such non pithy and still unhelpful comments which make the WytchTakers guide such a dread tome
that the residents of the Alliance prison moon Alaca-traz
were given library privileges only as a punishment

and, if they were really naughty, forced to read aloud.

Fortunately for all concerned –
the very law of Diminishing Returns dictates that the WytchTakers guide
actually disappears from existence before it can be read more than twice in one time period
(say a week, a month, a year - )...

From within the confines of a rather large wooden crate came the sound of mass being placed. What that sound was exactly the maker of said noise wouldn't know, so someone else would have to tell her. For a brief moment it grew quiet again, but that was soon shattered with the loud 'thunk' of something hitting against wood. A good few of those gave way to the thundering 'crack!' of boards splintering, then silence once more.

The first thing to be seen was a tuft of hair, crimson as the blood in one's veins, peeking up over the edge. Eyes must have become level with the top of the box as well seeing as the hair turned from side to side before disappearing back into the crate. When it appeared again, rising upwards, it brought along with it not just a face and neck, but an entire body. The slender and lithe form (now showing that this person was, in fact, a female, no matter how flat her chest was) was clad in a suit that just screamed a label of Long Ago Earth: Mafia. From the black jacket to the black slacks it was an air of business. As if to further the title there was a rather broad decal embroidered into the right shoulder portion of her sleeve: A Queen of Spades playing card with a gun instead of a queen.

From behind her crimson hair scarlet eyes peered at her surroundings. She seemed a bit amused at what she came to find. "Well at least it's not another place full of flying purple things," she mused to herself. With her eyes turned upwards the odd person stepped out of the box and began to promptly dust her jacket off. Just when she had seemingly finished cleaning herself of every particle of foreign substance something made her pause. Her gaze was turned onto a certain owner of a certain squid-thing, scarfing down a bowl of what looked like ice cream.

"Blue Fishie?" Though unseen she did blink. A broad and rather eerie Cheshire Cat grin crossed her face, and without another thought Trip began her stride towards the familiar face. "Oi, I finally found you! That box you sent me was rather troublesome, y'know?"

"Ahh, well you could have sent me that one instead." She slipped her hands inside the pockets of her pants and tilted her head upwards It would almost look like she was scolding Blue Fishie, but that wasn't the case at all. Especially since she was still smiling very eerily.

Hearing herself being mentioned in general Trip's eyes then turned towards LF. "Me? I am Trip Belphegor, a friend of Blue Fishie here." If it were at all possible her smile seemed to grow, giving way from eerie to borderline psychotic. "Ciaossu."

The look on her face showed that Trip might not have enjoyed the sensation of being dragged around, her seemingly endless smile fading to a look of confusion. "It makes sense that Blue Fishie would have blue fishies," she chimed. Well today was going to be a good first day.

Upon arriving Trip rechecked the state of her suit, ridding it of any nasty particles. She then looked to the fish tank, all three stories of it, and whistled. "Woah, it's bigger than I thought it would be." Though still unseen she blinked again. "Um... Are those Harry Potters? Why is there more than one, and why are two of them trying to breath water?"

Bluefishie and the newcomers had been admiring the three-story aquarium containing blue fishies and dumber-than-average Potter clones.

As their gaze wanders along the ceiling of the water park they notice a large sphere of amber-colored liquid suspended in mid-air. Someone is swimming inside. She notices the people below and swims to the edge of the sphere. She sticks her head out of the sphere, coughs as she spits out some of the fluid, and takes a deep breath of air. "Hey! You down there! Who the #@$! are you? Bluefishie! Do you know these people?"

The young woman at the surface of the large floating sphere of amber water takes a deep breath of air and swims back down into the sphere. She goes to its center, then surges outward with strong strokes. She breaks the surface of the sphere and seems to float there for a moment, amidst tiny droplets of the fluid. As she drifts away from the sphere, she begins to move downward faster and faster, until she is falling. She twists her body to align herself properly and executes a perfect dive into the Olympic-sized swimming pool below her. She surfaces and swims over to the side of the pool where Aiko, Trip, and Bluefishie are standing (or is Bluefishie still trying to extract the Potter clones from the aquarium?). She climbs out of the pool and gets to her feet. She is perhaps 20 years old, somewhat short, with an athletic build. She has green eyes, short red hair, and a pretty, freckled face. Her simple black swimsuit is of the style used in sports competitions. She regards the newcomers with a slight smirk, hands on her hips. "So, did you come from that space station we docked at, or what? You staying long? Oh, I'm called Deuce."

Trip's mouth was obviously in the shape of an 'o', which stood for surprise or shock without her eyes being seen. "Ah~ So cool~" she cooed aloud. The last time she had seen someone perform such a beautiful dive was when she had been transported to the Waterworld with all of those people living on floating tankers. Shouldn't they have evolved by then? Maybe they were thrown onto the planet as punishment for something... Her mind was wandering.
When she finally snapped back into the realm of 'reality' the woman had moved from the pool to stand in front of them. She was pretty, she had that much to say, but Trip was not that interested in women in that manner. Guys were more her cup of tea, even if she saw them as nothing more than servants to herself. "The name's Trip Belphegor. Ciaossu." With a sweep of her arm Trip lowered herself into a formal gentleman's bow, holding it for a moment before erecting herself. Her eerie grin returned to her lips. "My long-time friend Blue Fishie is here, and since I'm tired of wandering about the universe in search of her I think I'll be staying here for a while."

A huge vault-like airlock door opens at one end of the Sereni-Tree’s voluminous common room. In through the doorway walk five creatures covered in white fur, each nine or ten feet tall and carrying huge boxes.

They are being directed by a rather short human woman with long dark hair and glasses wearing an evening dress. The way she keeps adjusting the garment shows that she is not comfortable in it. She is barefoot, carrying her shoes with stilletto heels in one hand. “Okay, Ervin. You and Lichna take all this stuff down to main engineering except for the ones I’ve marked ‘spares’. Those should go to cargo level three. Lichna, the plasma coils you’re holding need to be set next to the main fusion plant. I can move them from there using one of the DRDs. Hewitt, the boxes marked ‘goodies’ should go to the pantry off the kitchen, and… Oh!”

The short woman notices the group of people.

Deuce, still dripping from her swim, waves. “Hey, Jet!”

The short woman walks up to the entrance of the water park to meet the new folks. “Hi. I’m called Jet. And...” She stares at one of the newcomers, and her brow furrows. “Aren’t you Leopardflan? Weren’t you…” She looks back the way she came. “Didn’t I leave you back at the party on the space station? Oh! Or can you co-locate? Be in two places at the same time? That would be a cool super power!” Jet pulls a hand comp from somewhere and starts going through the math and physics to see if such a thing were possible. "Hmmm... Let's see. You'd have to supress the quantum flux of the dark matter before you could incorporate it in..."

Meanwhile, one of the large furry creatures follows Jet, still carrying boxes, fangs displayed in a terrifying grin. It shifts boxes around in its grip so that it can tip its top-hat to the new people. “Hello! Hello, new people! Ervin like new people! New people come visit Ervin? Come to snowy cold yeti home in cargo bay? Go skiing?”

Deuce sighs, walks over to the Potter clone on the floor, and jerks the scuba mouthpiece out of his mouth. The clone gasps for air.

Suddenly, a much smaller yeti, perhaps four feet high, breaks away from the pack and rushes SimonWho. It grabs him and squeezes, all the while making some growling and gurgling sounds. SimonWho finds trouble drawing a breath. Ribs begin to crack.

An adult yeti comes forward. It grabs the furry arms of the smaller one and carefully breaks the iron grip. SimonWho falls to the floor, gasping and holding his side.

"Careful," the adult yeti scolds. "SimonYeti must not break SimonWho." It turns to SimonWho. "Corbin sorry, Doctor. Corbin sorry, but SimonYeti too excited." It shows concern in its large, blue eyes. "Doctor okay?"

SimonYeti starts to charge him again, but Corbin grabs her son by the scruff of the neck and holds him suspending in the air, kicking and wiggling.

“We’re going skiing? Count me in!” From the large airlock door, a tall, beautiful black woman smiles confidently.

“No way, Trey!” Deuce counters. “Don’t even think you’ll win! And that goes for the rest of you, too! I’ll beat you ALL to the bottom!”

Trey frowns. “It doesn’t have to be a race, sweetie. You can just have fun.”

Deuce gives an evil grin. “It’s ALWAYS a race, Trey! That’s what fun IS!”
