Ok, you can stop now... you're making my head swell, and my neck muscles just can't support an oversized cranium

Happy Valentines day Amy, Flechette, Serenity and even TWG! There's hugs here for any what want 'em or need 'em. No groping, I promise.

"No, but I'm sure you've got some perverted idea" Needy sighs

I'd like some hot Coffee. Jazaf thinks to himself.
As they walk to join Willie, Jazaf leans to Needy and continues thir conversation.
'Well it's not easy, being the most awesomely attractive manly man on the whole ship.'
Needy rolls his eyes.
'Don't worry lil' man you'll get yours one day.' Jazaf stretches at the end.
'Just do me a favor and...'
'No way. I've already paid you in full.'
'For what?' Willie asks.
Slightly startled that Willie was in earshot he quickly states, 'Nothing.....'
'Why do I not believe you?' Willie puts up an eyebrow and slightly pouts her lips. Standing behind Jazaf, Needy flashes a wicked smile.
'It's a long and....and....irrelevant story.' Jazaf stammers.
'That should be told and in great detail!' Needy interjects, making sure to emphasize the syllables in detail.
Ten minutes later......
Jazaf is in the corner of the room downing his third pint wishing for darkness to overcome him.
Meanwhile, Needy and Willie are throughly enjoying the tale.
'I swear it was like this!' Needy said through his laughter, showing some details with his hands.
Willie can barely contain her laughter and says to Jazaf with tears in her eyes, 'You poor thing! I hear they have surgeries for that.'

'It was cold. There was shrinkage.' he says flatly.

First off, Jazaf, Needy, that's some funny stuff!!

Needy, NICE jump into the Tree!

Don't worry, in my latest post, it's a case of mistaken Identity. Read my post before that, it was your house servant that gave everything away. He got his due rewards though. I'll tell you, that was fun to write! Remember these people are part of the underground, of which you are connected...somehow. See you at the hanger.

Safe plunks down in a chair next to Soul. He pours himself some of what Soul is drinking, and drains the shot, then sprays it out all over the table.

"what in the name of all that's holy is that??"

"Cranberry juice" Soul says with a smirk. "You're suppose to add a drop of it as colour, not drink it straight. That stuff'll kill ya." Soul pushes the vodka bottle over to Safe who is busy trying to clean his tongue off on his shirt.

"Here, rinse your mouth out with that"

Safe I just sent a mesage to you about that very plotline! Now if only I came here before sending it

Actaully, I've caught up on the adventures and read your Boros storyline (Well from when Flechette or Amy mentions Needy "the boy whore" and you go to track him/me down), so I did actually read about my treacherous house servant but I guess I didn't put the two and two together - I was too busy in shock at you apparently making me the bad guy

Thanks for the enlightenment

Edited to add that I've just received your message - one step behind as usual

"... with a body massager"

"Ahhhhhhhh, that's the spot" Dr Me groans in pleasure

The ladies clap

"Me next!" Lexa asserts

TheRealMe opens his eyes. "Why, of course, my dearest Lexa! You can be next. You will all get a turn! In a minute..."

"Hey!" Original Kimmel whines, "why can't I try it next?"

TheRealMe is stern. "That's enough lip from you, Kimmel! You realize, don't you, that the only reason you even exist here is that Ben Stein is so mind-numbingly dull!"

TheRealMe again melts into the comfort of the Chair, marvelling at how he can wander off as a bumbling doctor with an out-of-control DNA experiment and return a genius mastermind mad scientist!

Willie's Salvage

As the laughter dies down, Willie wipes a tear from her eye.

"So then, tell me, what's life as a companion like out there in the black?"

"Honestly?"

"Sure"

"Well, to be quite honest I haven't had that much work since joining the crew"

"How come?"

"Well there's been jobs for the crew, but when I look back on the short time I've spent with them, all I can think of is the trouble we've found ourselves in?"

"You go looking for trouble do you?"

"I think trouble comes looking for us. Whatever it is, all I know is that I haven't had as much work as I did back at Kara"

"Kara?"

"Yeah, I was trained at the companion house in that town. On Londinium"

"I can't say I know it, but then again, I've not exactly got around as much as I imagine you have"

"in more ways than one" Jazaf mutters from his corner

"Well enough about me, tell me about yourself" Needy asks, as he sips his drink down

To be quite honest I didn't know what to add but I felt something was better than nothing
Its been pretty much the same all night for me. I was hopingto add to this, the SereniTree thread and my own fic but my brain's just been running dry (and my throat too, but thats due to an infection)
With regards to my fic, I seem to have put myself in an awkward position, I've taken it a direction I hadn't planned on and as a result, I'm not sure how to continue it. I've written a bit of the next chapter but its getting even further away so either I'm going to have to rethink my story again, or rewrite what I've got on chapter 5 so far and try and put things back on track as soon as possible.
Hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have made a decision

Needy, as regards your adventures on the Sereni-Tree, Bride6 just got the non-Needy group out of the sewers, but I expect we'll have a firefight so some of the others can have fun shootin' folks too.

You might want to have Needy arrive in the area and either help us out with that fight (but leave some for the others to fight), or be inside the hanger already warming up a shuttle so we can get out of Dodge. Or something else if you have more ideas.

NICE Bride6 input TRM!! WOW!! That's almost exactly how I had it pictured! How'd you do that...?

Needy, I was thinking that the firefight might allow your party to slip into the compound unnoticed. Maybe once inside you could blindside the guards at our gate from behind.

Keep plugging away at it Needy. I've overcome some "ob-stack-les" with Boros. And if I can do it, hell, anyone can.

Ooh neat idea.
You've probably noticed I've started going in a different direction, but theres no reason that what I'm writing now didn't take place whilst you were still in the tunnels, so I could still do my little solo mission and meet up with you at the same time (well, not at the SAME time, but... you know, not far from it)

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

I figured this post needed a bump, but I wasn't in an "add to the adventure" mood, so here's a simple bump:

BUMP!

Actually, I suppose I could bring up the fact that I watched the Serenity DVD today with my sister (we're both off of work).
She's not a Firefly fan, though she has caught bits of episodes when I've been watching. She is a fan of Buffy and Angel (to a lesser extent) but has never been into "Space shows", hell she didn't really like Star Wars before. It's only now after the prequels have been released (which she liked) that she watched the originals with an open mind, and ending up liking them

So Serenity - would she like it?
Well I asked her after it was done and she said...
...
"It was alright"

Doesn't sound like much of a reply does it?
Well later, when we were playing worms (I happen to have a team of Serenity's crew, minus Kaylee since you can only have 8), she made the comment:

Select to view spoiler:

I can't believe they killed Wash... and Book too!

Then she started asking questions like:

Select to view spoiler:

So did the bad guy work for the Alliance?
Did that female doctor who got killed by Reavers on the video work for the Alliance too?
as well as other questions about the Alliance's motives and the creation of the reavers.

So maybe she was more impressed than she let on. Even though she never showed much interest in the series before, she seemed to like it. Although she wasn't feeling great, I could hear her laughing at some of the lines (She's loved the "Do you wanna run this ship?" "Yes" "Well, you can't!" exchange since she heard it in the trailer), so there's hope for her yet

I had been watching all of the episodes again, prior to getting the movie on dvd and was planning on watching Objects in Space finally, but when she asked if I wanted to watch a film today, I could hardly say "Well we could watch Serenity, but you have to watch Objects in Space first, cos I'm watching everything in order". Hell no, soon as she asked, I suggested it and ran to put it in the DVD player.

This could be a good thing though, I have Objects left to watch, and a new fan ready to be primed.

*waves Jedi hand*
She will watch it, and she will like it dammit!

I’ve been hankerin to get outta here for years. No luck though. Every ship that lands only stays for a day or two to trade supplies. Can’t get transport. *she smiles* I’d do anything to leave this ice planet.

Doctor Me enters the common room, looking for a bite to eat. He is followed by an entourage consisting of Lexa, Original Kimmel, and …

Quote:
Originally posted by NEEDY:
three beautiful women, dressed in revealingly tight party dresses. The beauties - a blonde, brunette and redhead - lingered around the master and his apprentice, obviously longing for a good time.

Doctor Me smiles as he sees the rest of the crew. “Hello everyone! How is the search for repair parts going? Are there any exciting injuries that you received on the expedition that you’d like me to examine? Hmmm?” He looks around, eager at first, then dejected. “No? Okay, then.”

Next, Doctor Me gestures toward the three attractive ladies. “Oh, I’m afraid that I neglected to introduce my new companions during that party a while back.” He points to the blonde. “You remember Bubbles, I’m sure. A long while ago, even before Needy’s very first mutation, I returned from a shuttle trip with a wheelburrow full of robotic parts. As it happened, I had scooped them up from where they were floating in outer space. Apparently, Bubbles suffered some catastrophic system failure and then her parts were vented into space. Huh! A waste of perfectly good parts! Anyway, I rebuilt her, as good as new, and included in her programming the Three Laws of Robotics. She should be safe, now. After this, she’ll hardly ever want to kill us all and destroy the ship.”

Doctor Me points to the red-head and the brunette. “And since I learned so much from re-assembling Bubbles, I created a pair of sisters for her from various spare parts and the Destiny’s photocopier and expresso machine. I would now like to present Blossom and Buttercup!”

“So, as far as the crew goes, who do we have aboard these days? Certainly not the crowd of 30 that we were purported to have at one time? Do we still have a pilot, or is that role filled by Soul or Serenity? What about that creepy engineer that used to lurk around acting like Gollum? Whitefall? GreekToomey? In the fine tradition of the Sereni-Tree, I have taken the liberty of constructing a list of folks that I think are probably here, now. Please inform me of any mistakes.”

THE CREW OF DESTINY

Amylisai: Crazy sister aboard the Destiny. Master of chop-stick-fu.
CallMeSerenity aka Serenity: First Officer.
CastIronJack: A gun hand. Public Relations? (Is Jack still around?)
Flechette: Cook.
Jazaf: Navigator.
Needy: A boy whore. Currently shrunk to one third normal size (all over, that is).
SafeAt2nd: Handyman.
SoulOfSerenity: Captain.
TheRealMe aka Doctor Me: Ship’s Physician and Mad Scientist. Medical license in dispute on some worlds.
Wildigstart aka Willie: Gifted mechanic on the planet that Destiny crashed on.

THE NOT-QUITE-REAL PEOPLE:

Blossom: Red-headed love-bot of Doctor Me.
Bubbles: Blonde love-bot of Doctor Me.
Buttercup: Brunette love-bot of Doctor Me.
Jayne aka Irish Jayne, aka Jayne-bot: Flechette’s love-bot, modeled after Jayne Cobb. Father/builder of Lexa.
Lexa: The robotic “daughter” of Jayne and Flechette.
Original Kimmel aka OK aka Jimmy: Apparently, a creation of Doctor Me, who is supposing that he should have exercised more taste.
Trebek: Alex Trebek, the game show host (Huh?).

AMYLISAI

Your re-cap of who's on board set me laughing. We have had some distinctly odd times around here...

Glad to have the crew slowly assembling back on board! A big hug to Serenity, and group hug among the ladies.

Thanks for the Valentine, Safe. I discovered this year that you can never have enough when one of my friends from college sent me chocolates even though I have a boyfriend of two years--he has yet to give me any chocolates!... So the moral is, Valentines are always unexpected and appreciated, even by the currently dating.

I was prompted to sign on today (after some absence) due to a Kaylee moment:
I ate strawberries today--the first since last year! They were delicious! A very Kaylee moment I wanted to share with y'all. I told my one coworker who likes Firefly--but she has clearly not watched it in so long 'cause I had to explain to her about the pilot and shindig strawberries! I'm hoping to get her Serenity and burn some Firefly disks for her as thank yous for some favors she's done for me (currently taping all the olympic figure skating for me since I don't have tv!)

“OH! Soul! Sorry, I didn’t see you there in plain sight!” Doctor Me takes off his glasses and cleans them on the corner of his white lab coat. “Not to worry! These three lovebots are perfectly safe. I have installed the Three Laws of Robotics into their positronic brains.

"Are you familiar with the Laws? First Law states that a robot will not harm a human, or through inaction, allow a human to come to harm.

Bubbles stabs the Original Kimmel.

“OW!” Kimmel says.

Doctor Me scratches his head. “Hmmmm… Does she not regard him as human, or…” Doctor Me strides up to Bubbles and accesses a diagnostic panel that flips down from her back. Meanwhile, she continues to slice ham. “Oh! Here is the trouble! I inadvertently flipped the priorities of the Three Laws, so she cannot harm a human UNLESS she is ordered to, and she will protect her own existence above any other consideration, including the safety of human life. Hmmm… I suppose that I should fix that!”

The Original Kimmel holds a hand to his bleeding chest. “Uh, Master? About this wound…”

“Quit whining, Kimmel! Suffering builds character!"

TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!

Obeying Second Law, Bubbles puts down the knife. She does not seem particularly happy about it.

"Well, now! There is no need for anyone to become hysterical. We just need a little re-programming." Doctor Me motions for the three lovebots to accompany him.

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

TRM - you got me laughing my ass off here with your Three Laws demonstration

Also, thanks for posting the recap, not only was it highly entertaining but I was going to post a similar thing as I got to thinking about all the crewmembers we *used* to have.
So I went back to the original threads and compiled a list of those that popped by and requested positions – I’ll post what I’ve got at the top of the next thread, as well as this list you’ve compiled

As for Jack, well I don’t know if he’s posted that much recently, but he’s certainly still involved in the adventures. And as for his postion on the ship, I made a not that he was "Funny Man" (and possibly Chief Nurse which was mentioned in a post) – I don’t know how official that position is. I got GreekToomey down as Public Relations.
I suppose if half of our crew are missing, then all of the other jobs are up for grabs

Anyway...

Since I've been stuck on Boros a fair bit, I thought it was about time I got back here and posted some on the story - see next (long) post (s)

Needy, git over here, we’re headin’ out.

Needy: May I have these? *he holds up some old braces and brackets*

Sure thing. Need help installin them?

Needy: Nope. *he smiles* I might need some help testing their strength…

*Willie starts up the engine as Needy climbs aboard.*

You know, for a little man, you're awfully forward, but I like you. I think we can be friends.

Willie's power-wagon rumbles and roars as it travels across the rough terrain towards the spot where the stranded ship Destiny lies.

Their journey had started off uncomfortable enough, with Jazaf and Needy barely acknowledging the other's existence, but Willie's inquiring of their life on the ship had encouraged them to regale her with tales on board - which in turn reminded them of all the fun/chaos they had enjoyed/endured.

"A rampaging robot?" Willie asks amused, not quite believing the latest story.

"Robot, sexbot - same thing" Jazaf clarifies

"Sexbot? But, isn't that your job?" She replies glancing at Needy, sitting beside her in the truck

"Female sexbot! I don't do men. And besides, I don't do crewmembers. Sort of an unspoken rule"

"Yeah, because our female crew wouldn't let him touch them" Jazaf mocks

"That's not it at all", Needy replies seriously.

"Sure, it's your choice" Jazaf adds sarcastically.

Needy turns around and looks at Jazaf sitting there in the back seat, shooting him a glare.

"Are you two always like this?" Willie asks with a smile on her face - careful to keep her eye on the route ahead instead of turning to face the pair.

"Actually, no" Jazaf admits "but he's been out of sorts lately"

"I..." begins to argue, before surrendering with "well, can you blame me after what I've been through"

"We've all been through stuff..." Jazaf tries to reason, before Needy interrupts him

"Sorry, but I'm the only one who's this small, who's been knocked out, knocked down more times that I care to remember"

Needy notices that Willie seems quite shocked with his attitude and recognising that he has been complaining a fair bit, decides to tone it down a bit

"I mean... sorry for going on. I just still don't think I'm used to this sort of life. It's alien. My life was about staying in one place, relaxing and enjoying myself and now its..."

Needy's confession is interrupted as they reach their intended location and Willie exclaims:

"Ai Ya!"

Jazaf pops his head up slightly as he beholds the beauty of the ship - it seems like he has been a way from it forever, considering every minute of the past few months had been spent inside, without so much as a look-in elsewhere.
"Home" he mutters

"That's a..." Willie pauses as she takes in the sight "... she's a beaut"

"You like her?" Jazaf asks

"Sure, she's... ah"

"Ah? I don't know that description" Needy jokes

"No, ah I see where you've got the problem" Willie clarifies, referring to the blazingly apparent crack at the side of the ship.
"It's no problem though, should be able to fix her up good."

Jazaf hops out of the back seat and stands by the wagon, on Willie's side

"You'll be able to fly out of here in no time" Willie adds with a hint of sadness

Jazaf looks at Needy, acknowledging their companion's mood change

"You want the tour?" Jazaf offers

"The tour?" Willie asks, smiling as she ponders the thought of it being a frequently-visited tourist attraction

"Sure. She looks great on the outside, but it's what's inside that counts. And Destiny... she's a supermodel with brains and a personality."

Her grin widening, Willie accepts the offer and jumps out.

As Jazaf leads the way, Willie looks at Needy.
"Now, he was using a metaphor there wasn't he? The ship's not going to spit me out if she doesn't like me, right?"

"Right." Needy replies

Willie blows air out of her mouth as a sigh of relief before she heads off towards the ship, behind Jazaf

Needy looks around at where he is sitting.
The seat is raised to the max so that he could see, but now he has no idea how to get down.
He thinks about calling to Willie but he doesn't want to be a bother, besides, she's a fair bit away now anyway.

If I can just jump out of the side of the wagon, I'll be alright he thinks to himself.

Standing on top of the seat, he prepares to jump, though it seems a long way to the ground, plus it is awfully slippy

"You can do this, you can do this" he convinces himself.

Ahead of the wagon, Jazaf and Willie approach the ship, the latter with an eager grin across her face.
Behind them, a short person can be seen falling out of the side of the wagon and landing flat on his face.

Thanks, in fact I laughed as you quoted me - wasn't bad even if I do say so myself
