The Tree-Clubhouse Gang are (almost) grounded by cozen

*Emma merily eats her dinner, a sumptuous meal of baked goose, smoked dreanor and fluffy eton-mess when she notices a stranger looking lost outside her ship. She invites him in to join her*

Hi, I am Emma, who are you?

*The man (unless told otherwise) is THEDUKE*

Ah, Duke. This is my spherical round ship with no name have dinner with me and I will tell you what I know.

I have been here maybe 2 weeks? In that time there has been a war, a grounding, a chocolate jacuzi party, an invasion and a lot of sitting in hammocks. Oh, and people became invisible and disappeared to the nth dimension. Did I mention I was kidnapped? I am sure TRM (TheREalMe) will explain. From whatI can work out, he is in charge.

We all have (almost) equal say here in discussing, entertaining, leading our direction and cooking but the hammocks belong to the girls. The hammocks are in the Treehouse (our base on Earth-That-Was), this is my ship attached to the side of Sereni-Tree (a big spaceship thing capable of anything anyone here wants it to do).

All of the crew are very friendly and some of them have special powers but you will find that out as you go along. I am sure everyone else will inform you of anything important I have missed. The best thing is Duke that you are here and joining.

Now, have another goose-leg and what can I do for you? Perhaps sell you this nice bottle of fizzy chocolate milk?

*Emma shows the confused looking Duke a newly packaged bottle with her spherical ship logo on the side*

*Serenity, still dazed by TGJ's amazing entrance, defeat of all our enemies, and abrupt dissapearance into Sereni-Tree. slowly sinks back to earth.*

I think I need a vacation.

*She heads back inside, to return the bow and now empty quiver to Soul's still unconcious side, then decides to head over to the clubhouse.
On the way, she runs into a grumpy looking Chris*

Chris, I'm still sorry I shot you. Next time you randomly appear in a thread, try not to look so much like the enemy. No hard feelings?

*she plants a kiss on his cheek and he seems to glow even more*

*Then she wearily makes her way to the clubhouse and plops into a hammock*

The Man They Call Soul...

*Soul sits up suddenly as his conciousness comes swimming back.*

Woah. That was weird.

*He stands slowly off of the medical bed and looks around. The room is empty, and for some reason, the rest of the ship sounds fairly empty as well. The background noise of the enginges is gone, too.*

Wow. I guess I've missed alot.

*He goes to grab his bow, assuming it would be sitting behind him, but his eyes widen when his hands come up empty.*

Where is my bow?!?

*He pauses for a moment and thinks. He remembers briefly a beautiful angel coming to his aid. Does she have my bow? He turns and makes his way out of the Infirmary and out to the auxilary hatch. He steps out onto the grass, pulling the bandage off his head as he goes.*

Thanks for patching me up, Simon!

*Soul strolls over towards the sound of a strumming guitar and sees a clubhouse up ahead. He walks through the door, and instantly he feels at home.*

Hey PR, do you mind if I take over the guitar strumming duties for a while?

Oh, and has anyone seen Serenity? I have an odd feeling like I should be thanking her for something.

Alot happened whilee you were out) and floated you all the way to the infirmary. I'm sorry I used up all your arrows. But I turned lots of EIs into little specks of light (those are cool arrows).

For those folk who are new and/or confused, I will suggest you go here:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=9926

This is The Voyage Home, which was two threads ago after we departed Black Diamond, posted on May 7. You could also get there by using the backlink at the top of THIS thread, then using the backlink at the top of THAT thread.

About a sixth of the way down is "The Real Me's Guide to the Sereni-Tree". It is a very long post, but one that describes the ship, its layout, and its crew (at least of that time).

Oh, and we are NOT at the Tree or Treehouse. We are at the Clubhouse that existed BEFORE Ebo built the Treehouse. In fact, the Sereni-Tree is that very treehouse converted into a starship. (Don't ask how; it's due in large part to TheGreyJedi's techno-magic.) Later, we might visit the Tree.

And while it is true that, as First Officer, I'm responsible for the day-to-day operation of the ship, I'm not in charge. Ebonezer is the Captain and Mal-licious is our semi-divine Queen.

I just handle the details for them, like surviving.

Soul, could you play me something soothing? I may take a nap.

Oh, and TRM-you are a WAY better 1st Officer than that guy from Star Trek, the Next Generation. I can't even remember his name, I just remember Picard always called him #1.

There are plentiful other places to lounge…there are lounge chairs, bean bags, rafts, barstools, giant floor/ground pillows, and many more that I have forgotten.

The basic rules of the clubhouse are:

1. Mal and Ebo are served before all others. If there is something they need or want, they get it before everyone else.
2. Next in line of getting things are the other women folk or female type creatures.
3. Men folk/creatures must be willing to gently rock the hammocks.
4. Margaritas must flow.
5. Ebo doesn’t get any margaritas.
6. While in the cabana area, loin cloths are mandatory for all legal aged men.
7. The inside is for rockin parties…be there or be square!
8. Any woman can give up her hammock to any man.
9. All are welcome to rest, relax, and drink yourself into serenity.
10. Gunhand and TheRealMe are the highest ranking men and as such are allowed womanly privileges.

i could be wrong, however

SIDE NOTES:
Rock Me Gently was done by Andy Kim.

Knights in White Statin (Had to cheat and look them up, but the poem at the end I can do from memory!):
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you

Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

(musical part)

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

'Cause I love you, yes I love you
Oh, how I love you, oh, how I love you

(Spoken)
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsetter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy's spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.

Jacob is my spKoala. He is actually the result of 60 years of cross breading small yorkshire terriers with australian koal creatures. He walks on two legs and is approximately a foot and a half tall. He's unable to talk any kind of comprehendable language but he makes his intentions and wants known by elaborate hand gestures and mimes.

from the intelligence we managed to intercept from transmissions between the local college and the captain of R.E.V.S.I.O.N, the ship does not have the resources to stay on our world for more than a couple of weeks, so we may be able to return soon.

however i think im begining to like being here, though you do appear to be the only person who has welcomed me, which is a little odd.

I shouldn't worry about not being welcomed by the others, we are on my ship after all. There is a large crew but they are in different places. If you like you can wander around the Sereni-Tree. I'll go with you and use the time to look for suitable items to sell.

I won't go to the clubhouse though, I am boycotting it because it sends women back to the dark-ages when we were the fertility gods and to be worhsipped. Nah, I like equality me - I could never have 'requisistioned' my ship if I had spent my time drinking cocktails and being sung to by young studly stud muffins (I might have been arrested less though). You can go if you like, I am sure TWG (ThatWeirdGirl) and co would love Jacob, I don't have any jelly babies but I have a couple of marzipan ones left over from the Martian Easter. Would he like those?

My apologies, Emma.

I did not at all mean to be critical of you, and I thank you for being friendly with a newcomer. I also am impressed that you have put thought into the personality and past of the character of Emma and in Emma's spherical ship and meteor troll.

I just wanted to correct your confusion about the Clubhouse vs the Treehouse before it became embedded in some new plotline. Our shared world is so fun, in part, because it is (more or less) internally consistent, though as you have seen, it is somewhat subject to whimsy.

Yes, I’m a role-player (and gamemaster) from way back, too.

And while I do have a pretty good memory about the silly things that have gone on, my real secret is that I keep notes!

In fact, for some time, now, I have been trying to compile them into a master list of links, with a paragraph or so description of what happened in each thread. I plan to post these one after another in a Summary/Directory thread.

Also, I ALREADY need to update “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree.”

And TheDuke is very much welcome. Greetings! Sorry, Duke, but my duties of late have prevented me from coming by, seeing as I am one of only a handful of the crew who seem concerned about getting the ship ready for its next big battle.

In any case, do not be overly concerned about rules or being ruled over.

There are some rules, but the only one of significance for you is to not maliciously or spitefully try to spoil someone else's fun. If things aren't going your way now, then you will get your turn. Currently, it is the turn of the more mellow of our crew to relax.

As far as being ruled OVER, well, Mal-licious is, for the most part, a benevolent deity. She has very few demands, aside from being pampered. Ebonezer is the Captain, but isn't here too often, and seems rather confused when she is. Don't try to take over her nest under the pool table and you'll get along fine. After those two, it pretty much leaves me. And I suspect that everyone will agree that I'm pretty easy to get along with. Huh. Half of them don't listen to a word I say, anyway!

Duke, I'm wondering if your REVISION aliens are in any way connected with Emma's Enemy Invaders (pardon me, but I forgot their name) or the Pakleds that chased Rat after he tried to cheat them (by giving them a mannequin in trade for food rather than the promised Bride6).

I'm sure that we'll get to all of these aliens in time.

* TheRealMe looks down. *

Oh! Cute spkoala!

Oh, Emma, if it's all right with you, I think that I'll name the meteor troll "Nugget" after one of the more recent and endearing trolls to grace this site with his/her/its presence.

* TheRealMe looks up at his ever-present companion. *

How's that sound to you boy? Can we call you "Nugget"?

oo, i'm sure jacob wouldd like marsepan emma, tho i quite plainly can't spell it.

Thanks for your welcomeniness TRM, i read the guide of the ship u posted some threads ago, very helpful. As i am currenlty preoccupied fighting the R.E.V.I.S.I.O.N i am not always able to respond awfully quickly, forgive me if me and jacob go off on a wander, i'll leave him playing with the arcade games whilst i'm busy, so as not to disturb anyone!

We achieved the impossible, and that makes us mighty

Okay, Duke.

* TheRealMe gets an uneasy feeling. *

Say, has anyone been keeping track of that clone Rat made of himself a couple of threads ago? I have no doubt that a Rat-clone could cause just as much trouble as Rat himself!

nice to meet ya.

Just so you know we have sort of a menagarie (sp?)going on here, or at least over on the SereniTree. Frederick and Molly (ones a dinosaur and one's a cloned parrot) and i think maybe some other aminals are wandering around if Jacob wants some playmates.

*Jerks awake from the growing ticklishness, sending the hammock on a precarious swing, flinging Cozen and herself to the floor in a tangled heap of hammock and pillows*

This could be comfy.

Hey PR, if you're not too busy you think you could quick-knit us a blanket? This floor is kinda cold.

*Having finished singing "Knights in White Satin" to Lissa, Ath gets up and begins looking for something. After a while he pops up with a banjo. Some the clubhouse-ers look at him dubiously, until he starts to play.*

"This song's called, "I've Never Met A Girl Like You Before". By one of my favorite bands, Flogging Molly.

*Ignores snickering at the band name.*

I would wrap the world in clover
If I could make you see my way
And I would die for you tomorrow
Would you come to me today?
Sing a song of sadness
About a girl with a happy face
Dance upon the water with no ripple nor a trace

Love is here, any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
But I never met a girl like
Never met a girl like
Never met a girl like you before

I would climb the highest mountain
To see the sunrise from your face
Light a million candles
To flicker to your name
Scream aloud with vengeance
With the wind beneath my breath
Do you understand the madness?
Do you recognize the grace?

Love is here, any cloud on the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
But I never met a girl like
Never met a girl like
Never met a girl like you before

Oh no I never met a girl like you before
Oh no I never met a girl like you before

I'd surely die in limbo
Waiting for your every call
Will I ever see your sunshine
When I'm done doing it all?
A boy with no companion
Lost for baby blue
Words are more than meaning
When they come from one like you

Love is here, any cloud in the sky
Would you be my flushing bride?
I don't think so
But I never met a girl like
Never met a girl like
Never met a girl like you before

Oh no I never met a girl like you before
Oh no I never met a girl like you before

*Throws banjo at Serenity's head.*

It's not banjo music! It's celtic music with a banjo.

And I just thought it was a pretty song.

*Serenity yawns and stretches again, only slightly amused at Ath's antics.*

The nap was lovely, but I think I need to get back to the ship and figure out a way to get back into my greenhouse.

*as Serenity heads back to the ship, she runs into another NEW person, and a fuzzy little creature eating what appears to be marzipan. Introductions are made.*

Hi THEDUKE. Very nice to meet you. Your spkoala is very cute. I've always wanted a spkoala. My parents wouldn't let me, they made me get a spgerbil instead.
