Oh, very well, Ebo. We'll make this our home, now.

Pardon me, but I have to go across dimensions to fetch some more Pepsimilk.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't tool up and plan in case They try and invade us again.

.. and can someone come up w/ a catchier name for our treehouse. I've been trying to sew our name onto the flag, but my sewing needle always goes blunt as I start on the 'P' in "THE I AM NOT GOING TO BE DEP(RESSED ABOUT THE DELAY CLUB)"

Can't someone come up w/ a funky acronyum or summat? I'd try, but it's 9:15 am in the UK.. and I'm *supposed* to be working.

and YUM! pepsimilk.. I thought *I* was the only one who liked it... can whoever is in charge of stores make sure there's some left for me.. and transport some Reeces Pieces through the portal? You'll be my best friend.

Well, in this incarnation, how about the Faster Loading Treehouse, or FLT? Sounds like a cross between very fast travel and a sandwich, but hey.

Well, FLT sounds great! Although over time it will probably become the SLT.

Erm..guys? I'm just gonna go out for a second, I need to pop over to the other thread to pick something up. I won't be long...

* A bright spot of light appears on the ceiling of the communal room of the tree house. It expands, revealing a dark void surrounded by a ring of fire. Suddenly, a torrent of water spills into the room from this hole in reality. Along with it, The Real Me falls to the floor, being somewhat dazed by the impact. The Real Me is wearing a wetsuit and equipped with scuba gear. He is carrying a metallic cube about a foot-and-a-half (0.5 meter) on a side, with a handle on one face. The hole in reality closes. The Real Me quickly orients himself and gets himself to a sitting position, pulls off the diving mask, and replaces his glasses. *

My apologies for the mess. SPARKY! A mop! And pass around towels, please.

* Still sitting on the floor, The Real Me pulls the flippers from his feet and unbuckles the scuba tank. *

Well, that took longer than I expected. But I have returned with the Pepsimilk! And look!

* The Real Me reaches over to the metallic box and twists the handle. The box unfolds in an odd fashion, revealing numerous bottles of Pepsimilk and some small brightly-colored packets. He takes one of these, rips off an edge, and dumps the contents into his mouth. There is a crackling sound, and he mumbles: *

Pop-rocks! I loved these back when I was Ebo’s age, a couple of years ago… uh, I mean decades.

* After a short time, the crackling subsides. *

I would caution all of you about consuming Pop-rocks and Pepsimilk simultaneously. It is a potentially lethal combination, after all.

* The Real Me gets to his feet as Sparky begins mopping up. *

So, did anything interesting happen while I was gone? Did you invade any more threads, or perhaps…

* The Real Me looks about the tree house, and is startled. *

PSYCHIC RIVER! What happened to YOU? A terrible darning mishap? No, wait. I’ll just read the last couple of posts.

I hate to say this but American candy/sweets are rubbish. This isn't my UK bias, practically all of your food is better than ours (New York has effectively ruined all other pizzas for me) but when it comes to candy, you're just plain wrong. The chocolate is chalky and bitty, your sweets aren't even close to sweet and just no. No, no, no. This is why I brought my British sweets to the treehouse, so you wouldn't have to go on suffering.

Why, of course. In fact, you can have first pick of the new Cadbury's range. There's Flake (which is very flakey chocolate for those who don't know, infamous for disintegrating with your first bite), Snowflake (white flakey chocolate with a regular chocolate coating) and a coated Flake (flakey chocoate but encased in a layer of chocolate so it doesn't disintegrate). And a Caramel too.

Tell you what I miss and we should demand. Spira. It was a chocolate bar with rigid holes throughout, had a very good texture.

You could very well be right. I just assumed that when we moved threads, I left my knitting needles in the old thread....?

Does anybody specifically remember bringing the knitting needles with us when we moved threads? I guess that would settle it.

People think I'm a spy?

But this is so in character, everyone thought Simon was the spy on board Serenity in the pilot and it turned out to be someone else. Did they actually let River have knitting needles, sounds pretty dangerous to me. As long they're very blunt I guess.

Right, need to broaden your tastes a bit. Please sample some of the following:

Curly Wurly. Slightly hard and chewy caramel in interweaving long strands covered in chocolate. Very nice.

Fudge. Fudge but covered in chocolate.

Sherbet Dip. A small sachet of sherbet with a strawberry lolly to lick and dip in. Tasty.

Tablet. Traditional Scottish sweet. Sort of like fudge but much more rigid and sweeter.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs. The best sweet in the known universe. So good that they only distribute them for about 4 months of the year so the other sweets stand a chance. But you'll have to wait till after Christmas to try them.

* The Real Me steps out of his room. *

I have thought on the matter.

I am quite certain that near the end of the "Not gonna be depressed about the delay club" thread, I returned from the Three Switches thread with some knitting needles and gave them to PsychicRiver. However, it is possible that PsychicRiver thought that I was giving a stick, a pistol, a puppy dog, or any number of other things. Now, I am not certain that these were PsychicRiver's needles. Also, I do not know if the needles made the trip from the "Not gonna be depressed" thread to this "Faster Loading Treehouse" thread.

As to a spy among us, that remains a frightening possibility.

However, I have come to the carefully reasoned conclusion that these British candies are SO tasty, that they prove beyond any doubt that SimonWho is a dear friend to be trusted with all of our secrets.

* The Real Me grabs up a couple more handfuls of British candies and returns to his room. As he reaches the door, he pauses. *

Say, SimonWho... Are you any relation to Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two? Ummm... Well, she ought to be about forty, now. Have you been gone from Who-ville long? Did the Grinch backslide and become a true bastard again? And, most importantly, did Horton ever hear you?

maybe Joss and Zoid at the pub. Nathan on the roof with TGJ. I think Summer would fit nicely under the pool table. We'll need folks to start paper macheing. Ebo will wear the jaynehat. i've got my boots and coveralls ready to go.

To be fair, it was Ebo that declared war on the three switches thread but that was in no way due to her drunken lust for power, no siree.

Yup, I'm going to be at the convention in April, looking forward to meeting as many people as possible there. I'm a fan of numerous other sci-fi shows but haven't attended any conventions on the grounds that some of their fans are scary, to whit Doctor Who fans (hence the Who in my name, Simon is a Doctor, geddit?) quite a large percentage of whom are just bonkers, certainly those that attend conventions anyway. Whereas with Firefly, it has only existed for a couple of years and therefore nobody can have based their life philosophy around it or turned up at court wearing an Alliance uniform for jury duty.

And of course, one side won the war, the other side claims that it may have been on the losing side but they're still not sure it was the wrong one. War, eh? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

I didn't fight in no war.

Actually, yes I did, but i didn't START it. I just chose the target is all.

See, they all wanted to declare war on the "Who's been a fan sense the show was on TV" thread, but sense i was in both threads i said we couldn't. Then, as an alternitive, i decided we should attack the three switches thread.

Oh, I didn't get it started, I'm not much use at all! I just sit around knitting, and eating, and occasionally getting kidnapped!!

Of course you can live here!? We all have our own rooms, but I believe some people who share, and I think occasionally we should have big sleepovers, in the main living area. Some people sleep on the roof. There are still a couple rooms down the hall if ya wanna go claim one. Or maybe a little spot somehwere, we have a hammock im sure... Or ask someone if you can move in with them!

No really, i REALLY DID try pepsimilk tonight. Although i was using some sort of retard holiday pepsi that was dyed red (it tased like normal pepsi though) and i get the idea that my pepsi to milk ratio was a tad off.

In anycase, don't buy into TRM's ramblings. Pepsimilk is BAD.

Welcome, Mantichorus and Mai! Thank you for the gifts.

Yes, you may stay here. There is plenty of room in the Treehouse, and we can always make more if you want your own room. See, in three dimensions, this structure is actually rather small, with only a handful of rooms.

But by taking an eleven-dimensional view, I can always just fold space over on itself, doubling our available space with each fold. I figure that we can work our way up to about the size of the Titanic before the strain on space-time becomes too great.

Glad you found your way here!

I see you've already met Mal-licious. She is the mistress of all she surveys (and she has a very high-powered telescope).

We'll have to set up a full-scale tour of the treehouse for you some time. If you'd like, we can set aside a room for you.

But this is the main communal room. Over there is the pool table under which Ebo often hides. She's our leader. Against that wall is a pinball machine and the Whack-a-Mole machine that I modified to have plastic heads of Fox executives. That is our robot Sparky. Just ask him, and he'll perform simple tasks for you. There's the fully stocked bar, with Shw, our bartender. Here is a line of hammocks which can be swung for you, and a hanging chair or two. And against this other wall is our huge plasma TV in its brand-new entertainment center (thanks, Mai and ManiacNumberOne), on which we run firefly episodes day and night.

What else?

The corridors leading off in every direction go to the private rooms.

Someone talked about a hot-tub, but I haven't seen it yet.

At the foot of the tree is zoid, in his Bottom-of-the-tree pub. He is a philosopher.

Up on the roof is where The Grey Jedi lives. He can create technological marvels out of random piles of junk. Also, he has a trebuchet up there. *Whispers* Be nice to him, and he'll give you some Spam.

Uh, just wander around. Make yourself at home. Most folks around here are friendly. Sorry, but I can't introduce you to each and every one right now. Perhaps we need to compile a roster.

Here, have some Pepsimilk!

SaffronFan, what else do you need to know?

Right. Our past. Our history. It is... complicated.

Over time, we have lived in a succession of threads. But the threads are still out there if you are bored enough to track them down and read them.

Right now, we are in the "Faster Loading Treehouse" thread.

Before that, there was the "Not going to be depressed about the delay club" thread. That was when Ebo first moved us into the treehouse. During that time, we fought the Three Switches War with the "I know what the Three Switches do" thread.

SimonWho was a respected foe at that time, who decided to join us after Ebo bravely led us in suppressing the tyranny of the Three Switches.

Before THAT, we lived in the "Forgotten Not a Guy/Girl Clubhouse" thread. I think that only Ebo, Mal-licious, ThatWeirdGirl, Sparky, and myself are still around from then. My apologies if I have fogotten anyone. Man, did we have a wild party one Friday night! This thread was in the Talk Story Forum. The others that I mentioned have been in General Discussions.

There were other threads before that one, but they were before my time. Mal-licious and Ebo could possibly talk about them.

Anyway, that is who we are.

Ebo, do you know how difficult it is to bring bottles of Pepsimilk all the way to this reality? I understand that you don't care for it, but...

* Sigh. *

Anyway, we should be careful about invading other threads. If we make ourselves too annoying, then Haken will be obliged to punish us. He might cut down the treehouse, or remove our super powers, or even *gulp* delete us.

Now the Three Switches... yes, that was a war that was just and proper. But otherwise, well, I don't know.

Alright fine, no wars.

Ok, so continuing were You left off with this clubhouse history thing. I'll start from the beging and move to where he left off.

Firstly, notice my sig please. Thats because I'm a girl, and people kept calling me he. So, i was complaing about this, and Mal found me and was like, "Same thing happens to me all the time!"

Then i was like, "Dude! We should make a club or something!" so I did. That would be the origonal "I am NOT a guy" thread. And we partied, and had fun, and made all the boys jealous. So they made their own clubhouse, the "I am NOT a girl" thread. Wars ensued. I beleve that there were thefts of plasma TV's, Cabana boys forced into slavery, and these threads might have had something to do with the formation of Statics (and others) harems. But i can't realy remember. We were all quite drunk at the time.

Time passed, and both threads fell into oblivion untill one day, like a gleaming, um, shiny thing, the "I am not a girl/guy clubhouse" was formed by Mal. This combined the warring fractions into one where the girls bossed the boys around (have you noticed how well we have You trained?). We also had gunhand fixing the roof...in a kilt, and i think that clubhouse also featured the debut performance of The Fireflies. (speaking of which, has anybody seen KGB lately).

Ahh, the fireflies, i wonder where they are now...especial that kick ass lead guitar player, what was her name? Oh right, that would be me.

I built Sparky about halfway down the "Not a Guy/Girl" thread because all the cabana boys had run away. The ladies started to talk about eunuchs, you see.

Sometime after that was "The Fireflies" one and only performance. Not all of the twenty or so members of the band made it. In fact, only Ebo was performing, with ThatWeirdGirl, Sparky, myself, and some muppet as an audience.

That, and guacamole punch. Mmmmm...

Anyway, thanks for the welcome TRM. As for the sign thing I knew it was too simple of an idea to really work, but there has to be something to make guys easier to read. Oh well, I suppose that would take away all the fun of figuring it out on my own. I guess for now I will just have to be content with my Simon fantasies and on that note .

welcome iamzoe. please have a seat and enjoy the show.

ummm hey guys i brought us a fun jumpy thing to play on (trampoline that's the word i was searching for). i just have one problem i think it's gonna be a bit difficult to haul up into the FLT. exactly how far off the ground are we? maybe we could just jump off the ledge of the porch (we do have a porch, right?) onto the trampoline? well it seemed like a good idea at the time, now im not so sure.

oh and im not sure what everyone around here celebrates, but could we decorate the tree for the holidays? pretty please?

When talking through the history nobody mentioned that I was recently kidnapped! Although you could learn that by reading this whoel thread. Hi guys! Welcome! I am PsychicRiver, but my psychich powers are limited and rare though...so bare with me! I occasionally knit!

I like the idea of the tramp-pampoline at the bottom, which could act as a quick escape route.

Any clubhouse members other than my Brother SimonWho and myself going to the "Serenity" convention in April/May next year??

And, on the subject of war...well if we could vaguely twist someones words in another thread so that it sounds like they insulted us and our thread then we can justly decalre war on them. Just dont do it on any of my threads!

Ooh HOG is on Sci-Fi now!

Bye guys!

Raises left eyebrow then realises he has to instead bumble around, trying to be proper.

That's a good point, is this a non-smoking clubhouse? And now I think of it, is there smoking in Firefly? Surely they'd have invented cancer-proof cigarettes in 500 years (that could be mass produced)?

Ah, Irn-Bru, one of the four corners of the Scottish diet. (Note for non-Brits, Irn-Bru is akin to a drink version of chewing gum, an acquired taste). Still, I'm all for adding a Scottish tang to the place, in fact I'll contribute some flavour myself.

YAY! Trampolines!
I think if we leave the trampoline at the foot of the tree then we can leap off the edge of the treehouse, onto the trampoline and then bounce into our pepsimilk moat. A good idea? or am i going mad?

and yes! lets decorate the tree for Christmas... I brought some fairy lights and a big lit up plastic santa for the roof.. it's only Christmas if you can decorate the place so it looks downright tacky. ;)

* takes Belle and Sebastian CD off. Substitutes with Idlewild CD. *
Ah, that’s better. Good Scottish music.
* Takes a swig of Irn-Bru *
Poor SimonWho. Always confused in his music choices.
I will be at the convention too!

* The Real Me thinks on this. *

Well, Shw, as it happens, I am a messy slob and I do not smoke. BUT, I don't have any pets, either. This, of course, means that we have something in common, and therefore...

* The Real Me reconsiders, realizing that, not only is he too much of a gentleman, but also that it would be inadvisable to make a pathetic attempt to move in with Shw while still trying to woo Mal-licious. *

Uh, never mind. Bad idea.

Yeah, remember the sheriff in The Train Job - he had a ciggie and shared it with a prisoner.

Speaking of prisoners...

Where am I?
The clubhouse.

Eh, if you got that, you'll know what's next, and if you didn't there's no point in expanding on it...

TRM,
Messy slobs can apply to be my room mate. I'm a natural Monica-from-Friends and will be perfectly happy if someone supplies me with a duster and some cleaning liquids. In fact, I like cleaning so much I once had a dream about cleaning the cargo hold on 'Serenity'.

.. and you are more than welcome to be my roommate even if you are trying to woo malicious... you come near me and try and woo me and you'll meet *the real shw* (and believe me, she's worse than the sarcastic little so and so that accidentally scared away Nedward)
If not... I'll just sit quiet like on my own in my bunk puffing on marlboro and drinking vodka ;)
*sniff* Nobody Loves Me.
