Here is a summary of the previous thread at:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=16179
With Mai missing from the Sereni-Tree, TheRealMe organized Mai-Quest 2 to find her. Other Questers included Ath, Serenity, Jake7, Rat, and PsychicRiver. Considering her condition as a mommy-to-be, Jazaf suggested that Serenity should refrain from going. The gaze she returned was painful, and he backed down. SimonWho stopped by to see everyone off. Everyone was somewhat surprised at the sudden appearance of LightMeDark just before their departure on the quest. TheRealMe put on his attire of protective black ribbons and opened a dimensional portal to wherever Mai was. The Questers jumped through, one by one.
The other end of the portal opened in some other reality right next to Mai, who was at that moment walking a plank on a pirate ship, being encouraged to do so by some nasty-looking pirates. Since the dimensional portal opened in mid-air over a long drop into the ocean, the Questers mostly fell, one by one, into shark-infested waters. The exceptions were Serenity, who could fly, and LightMeDark, who used his rather bizarre banana powers to get himself wedged in one of the ship’s cannons.
Serenity flew up to Mai, only to find that Mai was somewhat nuts, thinking that she was playing around in the Sereni-Tree’s water park. Mai jumped off the plank and made a fine dive.
In the shark-infested waters there were, naturally, sharks. TheRealMe was saved from being bit in half by his protective attire. Rat turned a number of sharks into pinkish froth with his Spamgun. Jake7 remained safe and dry (and unable to do much), bobbing about inside her force field bubble. PsychicRiver managed to climb up onto the ship, and tried ineffectively to lasso various people (and sharks). The pirates fired the cannon containing LightMeDark, propelling him a good long way.
On the deck of the pirate ship, a captive elf woman named KellyofLuthien was sent to the plank like Mai. At that moment, Cozen somehow appeared, flying in on a helicopter piloted by his under-paid and intoxicated Russian associate. In his usual manner, Cozen’s arrival made matters worse. He accidentally knocked Kelly into the water and then fell in himself.
Ath had been swimming over to rescue Mai (who had mistaken a shark for one of Bluefishie’s cute pets) when suddenly he experienced great pain and a pair of bat wings sprouted from his back. Ath rescued Mai, Kelly, and Cozen and (after handing Mai off to Serenity) flew to the deck of the pirate ship where a standoff began. Kelly used her Ring of Fire to herd some pirates into the ocean, but others appeared. In the water, Rat sprouted bug wings!
Meanwhile, on the Sereni-Tree: Lissa popped out from behind a door and said, “Boo!” Also, both Jazaf and Bride3 went to investigate some odd banging sounds in the cargo hold, during which they had a chat about Bride2’s determination to be a swordmaster. The banging turned out to be Bluefishie, stuck in a box.
Meanwhile, on Boros: Safe, Jack, Citizen, Bride6, and Bride7 all met in the tunnels while explosions were occurring above them. It seems that Bride6 and Citizen knew each other. Alliance soldiers may be looking for Jack and Safe, and Citizen wanted to know what was going on. They all went to a place Citizen knew and the Brothers Grimm told their story. The pair were former Alliance special ops soldiers who didn’t take kindly to the torture of innocent folk, so they killed their commander and went on the run. They had come to Boros because they had tracked another member of their old unit there. The Boros plotline continues.
Back on the Pirate ship, everyone made it up on the ship except LightMeDark, who was still flying about on a winged banana. Other pirates appeared and there was a stand-off. The pirates threa

THE REAL ME’S GUIDED TOUR OF THE SERENI-TREE, V4
Hello! I am TheRealMe. We’ve had some new folks join us lately, so I will provide another tour of the Sereni-Tree, my fourth. I have paid careful attention over time, and I believe that this layout is consistent with all the stories that have occurred in the Sereni-Tree to date.
WARNING: This post is very long.
Below, I also list the crew that we seem to have now, without bothering to track down every poster we have ever had. At least, this list should include everyone who has added to the story since we departed the Arkham. 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. CageyBee? CosmicFugitive? BadgersHat? Apple? ManiacNumberOne? KaySky? Knibblet? Aramina? ImEarly? Needy? GreekToomey? PyreFX?
The Sereni-Tree’s Past
The Sereni-Tree is our home. Originally, it took the form of a tree house built by Ebonezer, and this is the image it has on our flag, the Flag That Shw Made. The tree house was the immediate successor to “The Forgotten Not a Guy/Girl Clubhouse”. Later, PsychicRiver and a few others, including myself, modified the tree house to make it an air-ship, floating through the sky on numerous butterfly-shaped reactionless thrusters. In this form, the converted tree house was named and christened “Sereni-Tree” by Mal-licious, and we left the actual Tree behind as we flew off. Later, TheGreyJedi made even more modifications, and the Sereni-Tree became a starship. We have since been traveling the ‘verse, leaving the destroyed planets of Rukus and Black Diamond in our wake (we REALLY have to stop that). We returned to Earth-That-Still-Is to fight the Evil / Enemy Invaders and to face our own dark selves. After relaxing among dandelions and facing some Reavers, we boarded the nightmare ship Arkham, where we lost SoulofSerenity and all the clones. After that, we recovered ThatWeirdGirl and went on a second Mai-Quest. But there were pirates!
The Sereni-Tree on the Inside
The Sereni-Tree is a structure much larger on the inside than it appears on the outside, thanks to my ability to fold space-time in higher dimensions. On the outside, the Sereni-Tree is perhaps the size of a modest two-story house. On the inside, it is larger. MUCH larger.
The Common Room
The Common Room is the center of life in the Sereni-Tree. It is a huge cylindrical room perhaps 20 yards/meters across and three levels high. There are two encircling balconies, one above the other, around the Common Room. Equally spaced around the Common Room’s curving walls are the exits to the North, East, South, and West Wings. While it is true that the Sereni-Tree can move about and adopt any orientation, the names are traditional, coming from the time it was still a stationary tree house. There will be more about the Wings later.
In the center of the Common Room sits the pool table. In many ways, it is the critical nerve center of the ship, and battles have been waged for its possession. Underneath the pool table is the nest of Captain Ebonezer, where she piles her stuff (although the Captain has a designated room in one of the Wings, that room is rarely used). Also under the pool table are the remains of Cozen’s Pleasurable Torture Chamber, which includes “the Chair”. The top of the pool table is where the Captain sometimes climbs to address the crew. Note that the pool table is missing its eight-ball, which Rat once traded for more Spam. Its cue-ball is stained purple from travel through the purple dimension. Above the pool table is an anti-gravity chandelier.
On the wall between the North and East Wings (and in that general area)

**jake7's stomach rumbles loudly.**
Oops! Guess I'd better go get some food before it's gone!
**jake7 runs to the common room and fills up a plate with potatoes, chicken, and pizza. She hunkers down and starts stuffing her face -- making growling noises something like a barn cat with a gopher. As food drips from her chin, she looks up to see everyone staring at her with stunned expressions. She becomes more cognizant of her behavior and is totally *mortified*. She thinks to herself...*
What in the sphincter of Hell just happened? I never eat like this! I mean, yeah, I was beyond starving as we haven't had a decent meal in months, but this is crazy!
**She looks around wide-eyed and opens and closes her mouth like a fish, totally at a loss as to what to say to her companions. Finally she chokes out:**
Forgive me! I don't know what just happened, but I'm going to go eat in my room in case this happens again.
**she looks down on her jumpsuit to see it covered with food.**
Plus, I need a shower and another change of clothes...
**she turns and runs to her room in disgrace. Meanwhile, the Phantom floats in the corner giggling. The Phantom controls himself and wipes a tear from the corner of his eye.**
Phantom: That was too much fun! I wonder what *else* I can do?

*After her announcement, KellyofLuthien waits in the kitchen, wringing her hands as she worries about the meal. Soon she hears the pattering of many feet in combat boots heading her way. Everyone heads towards the food like they haven't eaten in a month. Kelly finds herself bustling around the kitchen, finding more silverware, helping serve the salad, and generally keeping busy. She pauses only for a moment to witness some ravenously messy eating by Jake7 before getting back to work. Mai comes in pushing a cart and begins loading food for those in the infirmary. Kelly sees that Mai wants to introduce herself, but suddenly she feels eyes upon her. She looks around to see Ath staring at her, clearly at a loss for words. Vaguely realizing that she is being a bit rude to Mai, Kelly locks eyes with Ath and for a long moment neither of them move. A growl from the corner where Jake7 is eating snaps Kelly back to her present task. She walks up to Ath and smiles.*
"I never properly thanked you for saving my life back there. Please forgive me for not showing my appreciation sooner."
Kelly takes Ath's head between her hands and kisses him lightly on his forehead.
"Are you hungry? I haven't eaten for two days, and would love to have some company."
Ath's blue eyes grow wide and he gives a slight nod. Kelly walks him over to the food and says,
"Oh, and I am called KellyofLuthien. Cormamin lindua ele lle." At a quizzical look from Ath, she translates: "My heart sings to see thee," and gives a small smile.

Nell stands stock still, a lettuce leaf wilting halfway to her mouth.
'that is not right... hell, something is actually very wrong, these folk are nothing if not overly civilised... and theres that wierd pressing feeling again'
she glances at PR, but he's staring at Jake,obviously not using his powers.
'theres is definitly something not right here, infact, something is very, very wrong. I wonder if.... no, not my place, not my issue, i'm just visiting. I wonder if the Elf would know...'
Nell turns to look at Kelly -
@well, no use going to her, the sadly-not-naked one is here and I doubt she's pickin' up anythin but pheremones'
Jake seems to come too, her eyes refocus, and she mumbles something, then runs out, frightened, the pressure seems to grow, then recede, like its getting further away..
'hey, PR, why don't we do that tour a little later, i'm tired, i'm gonna go dump my bag then get some shut eye.'
'Howzabout we meet nice and early tomorrow in the gym for a practice session at swordfightin'....'
'that is, ha ha... I assume you have a gym with a practice room in it?'
Nell leaves the kitchen, but can't feel the strange sensation, after wandering around the common room for a while she still can't feel anything.
'oh put it down girl, you couldn't do anything about it now anyway'
Sighing, she heads off to the west wing to find herself a room for the night.

He floats away, back towards the infirmary. He can’t figure it out, but something is drawing him back. Making the girl in the kitchen eat like that had been funny, and he had found out that humor was a big part of his persona. Still, something was wrong. How can he really enjoy himself if he can’t have fun with anyone. No one can see him. A few seemed to recognize that he is there, but he can’t interact with them save for making them do a few silly involuntary movements, and it isn’t enough anymore. He passes the girl called Serenity, and something leaps inside him, something trying to tear it’s way out of him—
--And then the barrier hiding his memories cracks, and he suddenly knows what to do. As fast as he can, he flies to the infirmary and makes his way to the room holding the cryogenic tubes. On the way he reaches out to a girl – TWG - and makes her walk to the tube and activate the waking process. Then he lets the her wander back out of the room, now confused as to how she got in there.
The tube hisses open and warm saline solution begins to run into the veins of the body. Phantom stares at the prone figure and the barrier falls, all of his memories rushing back in a flood. He arcs his head back and screams, for once glad that no one can hear him; he races up to the ceiling as his true identity returns, and drops like a bomb, still screaming as he rushes to the body, inside the body, and—

SoulOfSerenity opens his eyes. He is freezing and confused. The last thing he remembers is being on board the Arkham and—
He sits upright, as fast as his thawing body will allow him.
I’m supposed to be dead!
His head is swimming, but somehow he manages to swing his legs over and stand up. He stares down and realizes that he’s naked. He looks around until he sees a table piled with his clothes. Slowly, painfully he dresses; and then his nostrils open up to the smell of food. He grins and makes his way out of the room. He passes through the infirmary where someone he doesn’t know lying on one of the beds, with TWG sitting next to him. Weirdess doesn’t glance up as he passes her, but he hears a gasp as he leaves, causing him to grin again. Walking out the door, he turns and heads for the kitchen, his body warming and growing stronger with each step. He reaches the doorway…and steps through.

BACKING UP A BIT:
TheRealMe is exhausted after sending GedunkRose back to her pirate ship through another of his dimensional portals. To recover his energy, he has returned to the dining hall with seconds (thirds?) from the fabulous feast of KellyofLuthien. He has just sat down at a table and is about to dig in, when…
**CRASH**
TheRealMe looks up, startled. Not far away is Serenity, who has just dropped a glass. Her eyes are wide, her wings are extended, and her face is pale, as if she had just seen a…
“OH! Hmmmm…”
TheRealMe pulls his com-link from his belt. “Hello? Doctor SimonWho? This is Me. I’d like you to come to the dining hall, please. Bring your med kit.”
“What seems to be the problem?” SimonWho asks over the link.
“Well, do you recall when Jazaf brought the body of SoulofSerenity back from the Arkham?”
“Of course.”
“And how you pronounced him dead on arrival?”
“Yes. Sad, that.”
“Well, the body seems to be showing signs of life.”
“That is quite unlikely, I assure you. What sort of signs?”
TheRealMe glances up to better relate the scene. “Uh, well, it seems to be walking around, talking to people. Hugging them.”
“I see.” A pause, while SimonWho scoffs and makes a notation in a report suggesting that TheRealMe has perhaps been working too hard, and might require some time off. Then he looks up at a monitor screen showing a commotion in the mess hall, where he…

Before TheRealMe puts away his com-link, he records a memo for himself: “In the future, always freeze bodies of dead crew; never cremate them.”
At that moment, Serenity faints dead away at the sight of a living, breathing, walking, talking SoulofSerenity.

Nell, looks around, wondering what all the fuss is about, sure, new guy, but the screaming and the fainting? what gives?
Nevermind. 'Ath? ATH!' She clicks her finger near his face, oooh, looks like this ones a fainter too. 'yeesh'
Nell very carefully unscrews the jar, placing it as close as she dare to Aths nose, he screaches, recoils and starts trying to climb the side of the fridge.
'Wha? What the hell is that!'
'horror in mud form sonny'
Placing the jar on the floor, Nell pulls out a blow up bath pillow and places it beween Serenity's head and the fridge door, then waves the jar near her nose.
Serenity's head jerks about, her arms and legs trying to carry her away from the terrible hideous smell, then she regains conciousness.
'don't try to sit up just yet sweetie, stay there.'
From her bag Nell then pulls a thermos of hot coffee laced with brandy 'have a small sip, you'll feel better' Screwing the lid tighly back on to the jar, Nell puts it back in the bag.
'aye, works every time, It the one thing gauranteed to get either your brain or your body working its very hardest to get you out of a dodgy situation, regardless of yours or anybody elses wishes *grins* I've seen dead people run screaming from this stuff.'
Suddenly, all the little clues add up and mix themselves with a healthy dollop of guess work.

Soul smiles.
"I'm honestly not quite sure myself. As far as I can figure, my soul-" he grins at using his namesake "-kinda got tied to this place, and these people are my family. I guess even when my body died, my soul just couldn't leave."
He shivers a bit, and someone places a jacket over his shoulders.
"Plus, I can't leave this ship without a Security Chief. God knows what Rat would have done!"
He laughs out loud, and it feels so good. Then he sees her, lying on the floor by the fridge, and he races over to her side.
"Serenity?"
She looks up at him slowly, a strange look on her face. Her eyes focus, and she slaps him hard.
Then she kisses him.
From the back of the room, Cozen sighs. "Do I have to die to get a kiss around here?"

I highly recommend not dying for kisses, much better to live for them. Although I'll restrain myself to a firm handshake if it's all the same to you Soul.

**She stands there, disbelieving. Then, all of the sudden, a rush of joy spreads through her being. She hurriedly gets dried and dressed and makes her way to the dining room to see for herself. She makes it just in time to see SimonWho come to get Soul for testing.**

She takes stock of the situation: Ath, almost fainting, others gaping and staring, Nell just as confused as she is. Kelly heads over to the Elven wine and starts to pour a glass. She stops suddenly as an idea comes to her. She walks out to the bar, rummages around, and comes back into the kitchen carrying a large bottle of brandy. Noticing that most people haven't moved, Kelly starts taking out glasses from a cabinet.*
"Looks like we all could use a shot of this." Kelly pours glasses of brandy and passes them around. She takes a long sip, then sets her glass down.

* TheRealMe gladly takes the drink Kelly offers. *
You would like to know the story Kelly? The story of how SoulofSerenity died?
Well, the events surrounding Soul's fate took place in threads 31 “The Sereni-Tree: Back in Black”, and 32 “The Sereni-Tree and the Madness of Arkham”. You can check the summaries for those threads in the Guide, if you like. Then thread 33 was “The Sereni-Tree and the Lost Soul”, where we had a wake for SoulofSerenity, among other things.
But I suppose that I can summarize the summaries. We had been tracking Emma, who is yet ANOTHER missing member of our crew. She had gone out on a trading mission and never returned. We followed what we took to be her distress beacon to a derelict ship, the Arkham. While our sensors said that her beacon was there, we could not get a lock on her exact location.
So three groups of us took shuttles over to explore the wreck, each using a different entry point. But once inside, each group got caught in a separate reality that had nothing to do with a derelict ship. My group, which included Needleseye, Rat, Jake7, Nugget the meteor troll, and a couple of Zoe-clones, was on Whitefall being attacked by endless hordes of mutated creatures, and we were losing the fight. We met Monkeytail and N0skillz there. The group with Static, Jazaf, Bride2, Jayne-clone2, and Soul trekked through a mysterious forest and had to face the Dark Tower. The group which included Serenity, Ath, Safeat2nd, Mai, Lissa, River-clone, CastIronJack, and PsychicRiver were stuck in cages attached to a gladiatorial arena. On occasion our groups would meet, then break up again. A great deal happened, including the re-appearance of the Sith Lord Darth Ath and the loss of about twenty clones-beings of our Big Damn Heroes.
Now, I have no idea if we were being subjected to hologram-style illusions inside the Arkham, if our minds were being controlled, or if we were truly taken to various other worlds. The details are not important, however. What is important is that we were trapped in these nightmares, with no way out. We were the playthings of some evil alien entity, the kind you find in about half the episodes of Star Trek. It was a puppetmaster, and we were just dancing on our strings for its amusement.
And it was a sadistic puppetmaster. For some reason, it picked Soul and took him aside. It promised that we could all go free, but for a price. One of us had to die. Soul had to choose. The puppetmaster watched in glee as Soul agonized over the decision. Then Soul decided that HE would die in order to free us all. He willing sacrificed himself to save the rest of us.
What a guy!
But anyway, now he’s walking around, seemingly alive. And somehow, it disturbs me. It seems too easy. That is why I want the doctor to check him out.

Then Bride6 perks up. “Well, Mister Safe, we can help you look for your missing friend. We’ve got plenty of weapons here in this pack, and Jayne-clone2 taught me how to shoot.” She rummages around in the pack. “Oooooh! We got some grenades here, too, so we can blow plenty of stuff up. Then when we’re done, we can all go back home to the Sereni-Tree.”

Good to have you back, Soul. You go with SimonWho and let him run some tests so that we have an idea about what happened to you. Then, when you are ready and able to return to work, you can resume your duties as Security Chief. Sadly, all the clones of our Big Damn Heroes dissolved into dust during the Arkham adventure, including the four Zoes. So I’m afraid that you will have to appoint some new deputies.

At Bride6’s obvious delight at having grenades, Jack grins and moves his chair closer to hers.
“Citzen here was trying to offer us a job…” Safe starts, turning his attention to Bride7.
“Hold on a second. You’re from the Tree right? How much do you know about Butterfly girl?”
Both Brides look at Safe blankly.
“Ummm.. Serenity. How well do you know Serenity?”
“She’s connected to this somehow…”
“How do you figure?” Bride7 says, clearly bored with the direction of the conversation.
“From what I can gather, there’s bad blood between her and Scar man.”
“So the way I see it, the Alliance didn’t blow up our shuttle. Why would they? There’s nothing for them to gain from it. Scar man on the other hand, would be looking to make a statement. He seemed to know the shuttle ‘cause he was waiting for us when we arrived, but we were not who he was expecting. He was waiting for Serenity. We embarrassed him then ditched him.”
“His plan worked. It got the attention of the Alliance and they are now swarming the area. It won’t be long ‘til they figure out we’re here. All he has to do is sit back and a) wait for us to get caught or b) wait for the Alliance to flush us out and follow us back to Serenity.”
"So there it is. If you still want to help, you'll be marked too."
Safe turns to Citizen. "We could use your knowledge of this planet and your connections. Plus you've got a gift for talking your way out of a situation, a subtlety, something we are in short supply of." Safe looks meaningfully at Jack.

The door opens and Flechette pokes her head in. “Mr. Citizen, Ami just got back with them clothes you were wantin’.” The door opens wider to reveal Ami; arm’s piled high with clothes.
“Alliance is going door to door asking questions” Ami says “They were at the antique book store up the street, you know, Versereaders.” Ami says to Flechette. “Nice lady what runs that place, good stuff there too.”
Flechette waves her hand at Ami “Not now Ami, we’ve got more ‘portant things to worry about.” She turns to Safe “I over heard you talking about a girl with angel wings. Would that be Serenity?”
“She was here a spell ago. Part of a teraforming team. Spent a lot of time here.” Flechette turns to Citizen, “Find the boy-whore, Needy. She spent more time than what’s natural with him. He’ll know more ‘bout her. Plus, he’s got connections. His line of “work” affords him that pleasure.” Flechette rolls her eyes “Now get dressed and git movin’. You don’t have much time.”
Ami hands out the clothes. Everything showed signs that it was meticulously chosen for each person. Ami blushes and smiles every time Safe looks over at her.
Safe catches himself grinning. He likes these women. Flechette has that no nonsense pioneer spirit that he finds engaging and Ami… Safe shakes his head. He can’t afford to let himself go there, not now…

They keep walking.

On Boros:
Bride6 looks puzzled. “Needy? Needy is on the Sereni-Tree too. At least, he was for a while. Hmmmm… Maybe he left with The Head and flew off in the Destiny’s Shadow.” Bride6 examines the dress offered by Ami, holding it up to herself and looking in a full-length mirror. She seems to decide that she likes the dress. “Oh, and Needy is a boy whore,” she adds.
Bride7 smiles as she continues to file her nails. “And just how would you know THAT?”
Bride6 gets flustered and her face turns red. “Uh, because… Well, he… Ummm…”
Bride7 chuckles.
Flechette eyes Bride6 disapprovingly. “Because Needy makes no secret of his profession… to those who have need of his services!”
Bride6’s face grows redder, and she pretends to study the stitching on her new dress.

Amid all the commotion Jazaf looks around for his pupil. When he doesn't see her in the common room he heads into the waterpark where they sparred on occasion. His heart swelled with pride as he found Duece training diligently.
'There you are. I've been looking for you Deuce.'
Deuce looks up from her training, sweat beading her forehead, and manages a smile.
'Hiya, Sensei!'
'Just thought you should know, Soul is alive again. It got everyone in all manner of hysterics.'
He watches Deuce resume her training and notes that she has improved very well.
'Here, instead of training out here jump into the pool and use the water's resistance to help get a more effective training session.'

Deuce smiled. "Soul is back? That's great news, Sensei. And good advice about the water. I'll take a dip and a quick shower, then I'll join you all."
As Jazaf left her alone in the water park, Deuce slumped down to the deck, exhausted. She had gotten there just in time. She remembered what happened just a bit earlier:
---------
Deuce woke up and rolled over. Her head felt like daggers were piercing it. She shivered, and became aware that she was very cold.
“Where am I?”
Even her own soft voice was too loud. She winced.
“Gorram hangover,” she whispered.
Without opening her eyes, she patted the grassy ground on either side of her for her weapons.
“Grass?”
Deuce sat up, and forced her eyes to open and focus. She seemed to be sitting outside, perhaps in a park. She was naked. A pond was nearby. Deuce ran her fingers through her short red hair, unsuccessfully willing the headache to stop. She had a dim, hazy memory of…
“Skinny-dipping? Did we… really do that? Uh, we? Right, I came here with… somebody… Wow, that must have been some party we had for Soul! Got hammered well and good.”
Deuce got to her feet and started to stagger around, occasionally tripping over a discarded bottle. Before long, she came to a tree. It was impaled with one of her katanas. The bark seemed to have been hacked away by the weapon, and the wood was vaguely chopped and carved into…
“Is that supposed to be a face? Hmmph! How drunk was I?”
With some effort Deuce managed to wrench her katana out of the tree. With a frown, she examined its dulled edge. What would her Sensei say? That blade’s scabbard was lying nearby on the ground. Her second blade was next to it, still in its own scabbard.
“Now, if I could only find some clothes!”
Carrying her two katanas, Deuce wandered around for a while. Then she heard some kind of low growling or moaning sound and made her way toward it, not entirely sure what she would find. As she pushed the last shrub out of her way, she discovered Frederick the Dinosaur calmly chewing on her clothes like a cow chewing its cud.
“GORRAMIT!” she shouted, forgetting her hangover. She dropped both of her katanas and grabbed her head, to better endure the agony. When the latest wave of pain passed, Deuce ran up to grab what was in Frederick’s mouth.
“That’s my favorite top, you stupid lizard!”
Frederick ignored Deuce, easily winning the tug of war with her clothes. Frustrated, Deuce kicked him as hard as she could. Frederick made no sign of noticing, and moved to grab a nearby fern in his mouth. He started chewing that.
“Gorram stupid lizard!”
Deuce fell to the ground, and tried to think. She was in the “This Land” park, on top of the Serenitree’s north wing. The seven brides had taken up one whole level of the south wing as their quarters. How was she going to be able to get to the other side of the ship without any clothes, and without passing through a public or restricted area?
“Can’t.”
Deuce took up her sharp katana and cut down a few ferns to cover herself with.
“The water park is close, though. I got a locker there with some sweats. Worth a try. Maybe I can sneak there.”

"Do they bother you?"
*Ath shakes his head, and Kelly reaches and touches his left wing. It feels strong, muscular, yet surprisingly soft. She looks up to see a slight flush in his cheeks, and moves to take his hand in hers. Ath looks down at her hand before meeting Kelly's eyes. Kelly sees something in his look, something like fear, or is it longing? She can't tell.*
"Are you OK? Am I bothering you?" Kelly asks. Ath's eyes widen just a bit before he opens his mouth to speak.

The sound of Alliance boots came stamping to a halt outside the shop as the trap door to the sewer slammed shut above them. Citizen began leading them on through the tunnel network before speaking.
“Look, I don’t have any idea how we might get in touch with this Needy, I don’t have those sorts of contacts.” He said stopping and turning. There was silence for a few moments as the group stared at him. Citizen slumped his shoulders.
“Okay” He said finally. “This way.” He started leading them off into a fork in the tunnels.
Before long they came across a large metal door, that looked like it could withstand a Nuclear explosion, and had several large ‘danger: high voltage’ signs plastered across its surface. Citizen began unlocking various locks with keys and swipe cards.
“Just need to pick-up a few things first.” He said as a retinal scanner folded out of the wall. The door finally hissed open as he continued. “Can never be too careful these days.” He shrugged.
Citizen stepped through the entrance and let the group fan in behind him.
“Welcome,” he said as Bride7 began to have what can only be described as a religious experience. “to my Armoury.”

Unnoticed by the others Nell half wakes up, but less now of the Nell, silently, through one eye, she watches her disguise wearing off, her nails grow, the sundrenched and weathered look leaves her skin.
Oh crappit.
She moves uneasily, seeing the hems of her clothing now too short, feeling the lingering ache from the bones altering them selves. Kicking off her now uncomfortable shoes she stands up, using the cupboard handles as support.
I should have gone and found a bed when she had a chance, this was always easier with fluffy pillows and a stuffed toy.
who was she kidding? The only thing that ever made this easier was really really strong drugs
Thank the gods for whoever thought up the party games she thinks as she slips silently from the room.twister... cool *grin* *grimace* She scurries past the bar and its various drunk crew members, heading for the infirmary, but SW and TWG are still in there.
Oh crap, ok, just get to a bathroom, hot water helps, as does the ability to upchuck without an audience...
She runs for the west wing, trying random doors until she finds a musty smelling room, obviously unused, with the glorious, marvellous heaven sent sight of an adjoining bathroom.
Slipping in and closing the door, she runs to the bath fills it up with the hottest water she can take. Pausing only long enough to remove her hat and coat she sinks into the water leaving only her mouth and nose exposed.

But the last day or so, these people aint too bad, so you told a few lies, you're a pirate! were a pirate... They'll understand, hell, they'll probably laugh, it don't mean nothing to them. Rackhams gonna hate you... but at least your rabbits will understand....

*gasp*
water flys everywhere as Seryn leaps out of the cooling tub.
ooooooh...
grabbing towels she mops the floor with her feet, trying to get the clinging wet clothes off and rescue her bag from the spreading waters.
Pulling on a robe she runs and places the bag on the bed with exaggerated care.
Pulling it as wide open as she can, Seryn flips up the lid of a box that really shouldn't fit into the satchel, and from the cushioned and oxygen supplied pet carrier she pulls Archie, a small white rabbit with two grey paws and a green rump, and Esme, an even smaller one with lavender spots all over her belly.
Hey guys, sorry! I left you in there too long.*scratches ears and tickles bellys*
Here's your food bowl, in this corner, you go explore.
From one of the side compartments, she pulls a small bag of clothing and returns to the bathroom. In the mirror she examines her old face - green eyes again, and without Nells suntan she's still as pale as ever. At least theres no new wrinkles this time.
Her hair is still red, its grown, but has lost Nells abundant curls, grabbing a pair of scissors she chops of almost all the legnth, styling it short at the back and longer at the front so that she still has enough to play with when she's bored.
From her stock of clothes she selects a black shirt and its accompanying obi style belt, her little bit of luxury, made from antique charcoal grey silk embroidered in red and black cherry blossoms. She runs her fingers over the fabric, loving the cold, smooth feel after years spent in rough cottons and leathers.
Pulling tailored pants and a pair of black heels, she secures the obi with a slim leather belt and checks it all in the mirror.
Not bad,nit bas. Nell had better tits.
Ha well.
Ok, enough, theres no use sitting here going over everything, dive back in! go say hello, your basic features hav'nt changed,they'll recognise you! so theres no problem.
What can they do? shoot you?
*nervous laughter*
Maybe just a quick nap, its a tough process, and besides,the little finger on your left hand still hurts, and you know how cranky you get when you're in pain...
*Seryn runs to the bed, leaps onto the mattress and covers her self with the duvets*
*Archie and Esme jump on to the bed and start to sniff at the pile of blankets*
No, say what you like, call me any name, I'm comfortable with myself, tomorrow morning is soon enough to discover that i'm making a big fuss about nothing.
Archie! bed clothes are not edibles!

Good *elemdee smiles* Banana's not my favorite, either. I love cherry and grape. I just happened to be drinking 99 Bananas when...well, when I ended up here.
You must be dying to take part in the festivities going on...why don't you go have fun? I'll be alright, could use a bit more rest. Thanks for lookin' after me. I'll catch up with you in a bit.
*a bit later the newcomer gets a little restless and wanting for company, so he sets off to find Mai, hoping she'll find his presence a welcome thing.*
*as he finally catches sight of her, he hears the pretty elf-lady's voice*
"...a banana-flavored condom!"
Did someone mention bananas again? That seems to be the theme for my day. Has it only been one day?
Ooh, twister! I'm starting to feel better...*turns his gaze to Mai* Anyone want to play?
