'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.”

"You whack a paper-mache animal with a bat to try get at the candy inside."
"Sounds...interesting. I'll give it a try", says Kelly.

"That was fun!", says Kelly once her turn is done.
*Ath smiles then frowns as Mai breaks the pinata, but candy doesn't fall out.*

*Rackham stands from the table and wobbles slighty. He extends a hand to the table top to steady himself. He gazes around at all the activity and realizes that he is now the lone pirate in the room. Being the lone pirate isn't fun, being an alone pirate ...even less. he wonders over to the crowd as the pinata bursts open and listens as PR explains.*
Well, your mum gave ya the talk eh? She's a good woman, keep an eye on her, keep her safe.
*Jack bends down and picks up a couple of the treats from the pinata. "It's better to have a gun and not need it, than need a gun and not have it." He continues to look around for something to amuse himself with. When he overhears.....*

Right now, I have to concentrate on beating the pants off of PR at twister! You guys wanna play?

To KOL, You've never played before? Ah, ok here's what you do.
First we lay out the mat which has 4 rows of different colored circles in blue,green,yellow, and red.
Someone takes a spin and annoucnes what the first move will be. For example: Right foot yellow and everyone places their right foot on to a yellow circle and then there is another spin and so on.
As the game progresses everyone gets "twisted" up in each other until one by one people begin to fall. The the last player standing wins!
*looks for a volunteer to spin the spinny thing while kelly is off changing.
Ath, you playing?

Elsewhere on the ship a wind begins to blow.
Plants start to sway and leaves skitter across the floor.
The wind surges knocking plants and tools about the room.
Thunder cracks the air as lightning begins to strike the ground preparing the way.
The power flickers and goes out, so that only the lightning strikes illuminate the room.
And then just as quickly as it all began, everything stops and the room calms.
The power returns allowing the lights to come on and in the epicenter of the aftermath sits a man clothed in black.

*Moves swiftly from the room to the vastness that is the Sereni-Tree with it's many places to hide and far from prying eyes.*

Huh. Breakfast.

Continuing Deuce’s adventure from earlier that day:
Deuce had been trying to sneak from the This Land preserve to the Water park in order to find some clothes. Each hand held a large leafy fern, one attempting to cover her front, the other her back. The scabbards containing her katanas were held in the crook of one arm.

SR: This might work better than fern fronds.
A stranger leaned against a ajacent wall. A rain pocho hung from the tip of his left index finger. He looked askance in her general direction, clearly having no interest in making her uncomfortable, yet unwilling to turn his back on a person so armed. He extended the poncho toward her and raised his eyebrows emphasizing the offer.
Deuce was surprised by the stranger she had come upon, and reacted without thought. She dropped the plants and performed a perfect backflip to gain some distance. When her feet again hit the deck, her hands were grasping the hilts of her blades. With a flick of each wrist, the scabbards went flying, revealing the gleaming steel.
Deuce stood there in a fighting stance, naked, as she faced the stranger. Embarrassment or anger or both had flushed her face until her freckles were obscured. “Who the hell are you? I know everybody on this gorram ship, and you ain’t one of them!”
She looks closer. "Do I know you?"

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.
*N0S trys not to draw attention to himself, as he sees Nell, shifting uncomfortably and then hurry from teh room to the direction of the infirmary. *
"Stay here Shadow, i'll call if I need you." He whispers to the large cat.
*Skillz makes his way towards the infirmary and just before he makes it there, he sees Nell rushing to the west wing. He slips down the hallway behind her, sticking to whatever shadows he can find. When Nells going into what seems like a vacant room, N0S makes his way, and leans on the wall next to the door as he hears the bathtub start to fill up.*
Hmm... she was in an awful hurry just to take a bath.
*Sometime passes before N0S hears anything else. But as he listens, he doesn't detect any stress in her voice as who he thinks is Nell talks to whoever or whatever else is in the room with her. Skillz makes his way back to the common room with the others, making himself a drink as he passes the bar*

'nope' this wont do, dammit woman, grow a pair...'
Archie leaps off the bed, only just having got comfy and now pissed at his minders total lack of decision making skills.
The lights dimm and flicker slightly, from her position by the food bowl, Esme sits back on her haunches, both ears perked and staring intently back towards the centre of the ship, Archie follows suit.
Oh shush, you two are even more paranoid than me.
Right, I'm heading back' she makes her way to the door, but only makes it half way before the rabbits tag team effort topples her*
Beginning to regret teaching you that trick... Are you really serious? Ok, lemme go, i'll be careful... promise.

Making her way to the kitchen, Seryn pauses 'Wha? Wat is that hinky smell? yeesh, is that....? no can't be.
*looks in to see shapes bobbing about, almost, but not quite like balloons. A chemical smell and a strange banana scent lingers in the air.*
*smiles* 'wow, you leave a place five minutes and suddenly it goes frat party on you'
She notices a man sat watching the crowd, a large cat sat with is head resting on his lap follows her slightest movement.
She also notices that Rackham is gone. Turning away from the party games, she follows the lingering scent of rum, tracing him to what could only be an arcade, she looks at all of the different games, vintage pinballs alongside state of the art VR generators - a girl could have lot s of fun here.
*takes a deep breath*

SR: Who I am is a long story. You seem to contradict yourself. I could say things about past lives or fate or parrellel universes, but I sense the form of answer you want to hear. No you don't know me. For the present I am the person who is offering you a poncho. You can put away your weapons. If I had wished it you would all ready be dead.
The stranger is armed, in a way that brings to mind the phrase "to the teeth". However a clever observer would certainly notice the sword on his left hip is tied into it's scabbard, the pistol on his right hip is likewise secured in its holster, as are the rest of his weapons likewise bound or covered.
The stranger is dressed in clothes made for hard work and long travel and they clearly have done a lot of both. They are patched and repaired in a crude, but sturdy fashion. The webbing holding his weapons and equipment is a amalgam of various forms, leather, macrame, and nylon. Though the stranger is tall though to look at he appears not thin but stocky. His hair is long and a brown. A full red beard covers his chin while while the rest of his face is in shadow from the brim of his hat.
SR: Have you ever considered a career in performance art?

“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.”
Bride6 makes happy cooing noises and claps her hands together. Then she dashes in, like a child on Christmas morning running to her presents. "Oh, I'll have one of these, and one of those, and this is always useful..."

I took part in a tribal ritual involving the ingestion of some powerful sacrements a ways back and they have some side effects that still manifest occasionally. What do I want? It's been a long time since anyone asked me that. For the moment I would be well served by a chance to clean up, a bite to eat and a chance to get some sleep.
The stranger turns his head such that he now is looking Duece straight in the eye. His eyes reveal a soul that has traveled, fought and searched for centuries. These eyes have seen birth and death, triumph and despair. They are eyes of wisdom and yet they have no arrogance. They are sharp and then they focus out for a moment, they blink in a rapid complex sequence. Duece feels slightly light headed and then stranger turns his gaze away.
SR: Yet I suspect that is far too much to ask for in trade for the use of a poncho, so if can show me to Nell's ship I will be out of your way.

“Hmmmph! Never heard of you. Or this Nell character.”
Deuce realized that, even though he talked funny, she thought Scorpion Regent was kind of cute in a scruffy sort of way, and gentlemanly considering the circumstances. She bent down to pick up her scabbards, and sheathed her katanas.
“But, I know that folks drop in here all the time, just like me and my six friends did way back when. I guess I could take you to talk to somebody. The Real Him is a good choice. He knows most stuff that goes on here. And I'm sure we can get you fresh clothes and a place to sleep. But just now I have to get to the water park to get some clothes before someone sees me like this. Uh. I mean, someone else.”

“But, I know that folks drop in here all the time, just like me and my six friends did way back when. I guess I could take you to talk to somebody. The Real Him is a good choice. He knows most stuff that goes on here. And I'm sure we can get you fresh clothes and a place to sleep. But just now I have to get to the water park to get some clothes before someone sees me like this. Uh. I mean, someone else.”

SR: You've nothing to ashamed of. (pause) Well, suit yourself, no pun intended. As for that career choice, you're the artist, the medium would be your call, not mine. I can wash what I've got, I even have a change in that bag there.
SR inclines his head indicating a canvas duffel bag at his feet.
SR: Maybe the water park isn't necessary.
SR hunkers down, undoes the intricate knot holding the bag closed and begins rummaging around in it. He produces a pair of baggy pair of cotton draw string pants and a Japanese hapi coat.
SR: That's more the ticket. I offered the poncho because it was closer at hand.

“Oh. Uh, thanks.” Deuce tool the clothes offered by Scorpion Regent. They don’t really fit, but they are better than nothing. Or even a poncho.
“But I still want to get my own stuff.”
Deuce led Scorpion Regent along some corridors, through a hatch, and down a couple ladders.
“This is the water park. Lots of cool stuff to play around on. Anyway, those are the men’s showers and locker room, and here are the women’s. We can both get a shower and change of clothes. There’s also a washing machine and dryer in there.”
Deuce returned the clothes that she borrowed, and both headed to the showers. Deuce was the first to finish, and put on some sweats she had in her locker. While waiting for Scorpion Regent, she took the opportunity to practice a few blade techniques on the water park deck.

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 in the water park, Deuce slumped down to the deck, exhausted. She had gotten there just in time.
Moments later, Scorpion Regent joined her. He had apparently noticed Jazaf. To Scorpion Regent’s questioning gaze, Deuce said, “That was my Sensei, Jazaf. A master with the blade. Uh, I really didn’t want to introduce you to him just now because that would have brought up other questions, like where and how we met. And to tell you the truth, I’m really not sure what I’ve been doing over the last day or so.”
And now Deuce is caught up to the present!

SR Takes all this in with little more than a shrug, though clearly he seems to have something on his mind.
Duece: "What?"
SR: "I am a stranger here, it is not my place to speak and my opinion is worth less than twenty year old gossip."
Duece looks SR in the eye. He words are true though he still hasn't told her what's on his mind. She wonders should she press him on the issue and then she realizes she is looking into his eyes again. She feel a sense of dizzyness as if she were balanced on a great hieght looking down. Duece feels suddenly breathless and she realizes it's because she is holding her breath.
Duece: "I'm sorry what was that?"
SR: "I was saying, I took the liberty of securing most of my affects in a locker."
SR is now dressed in in simple pants and short sleeved tunic. His heavy combat boots are replaced with leather sandals. The big hat is gone and in it's place is a light blue cap similar to a beret. The sword and pistol with their heavy cross belts are likewise missing. SR's only apparent weapon is a dagger on his belt, though there are several pouches there as well and he does have a have a bag hanging from his shoulder. His hands are heavy with rings and a chain of greyish metal hangs around his neck. His ears have heavy gold rings that are revealed now that his hair now hangs in a heavy braid down his back.

Tell me Jack... jadehand! Jack? Who here do you reckon in is capable of spell casting? or should I be thinking back to front? Who here do you think is looked for? do you think we should warn someone?

Spell casting? Looked for? Warn someone?
What's going on? You think someone here may be in danger?
Well TWG seems to have been here a while, she likely knows the folk here better, and TheRealMe seemed very protective of the crew, if you think someone is in danger, I'm sure he would want to know. Let's head out to the common room and see if we can find one of them.
oh and ummm, not sure what you mean by "make it stick", but if you need to be......well Not Seryn, then ya might wanna remove the nametag first. If you want Nell to "Stick" we can make a tag for her, it should stick till you pull it off.

Making it stick? Oh, simply that, although I loved the life, I never felt quite right, and since the wing waters, well, kept flipping back and forth, couldn't seem to get it straight. You just seemed like a natural, maybe it was the rum...
But no, Seryn is who I am, and the name badge suits me.
As for the spells, yeah, I think someone needs to be watching their ass. Theres somebody here, I'm not sure if they belong or not, but they're looking for someone, using spells... Don't you feel it?
In the infirmary, you saw something, and I felt it, then Soul came back and it stopped. But just a little while ago, it started again, slightly different, pressure at my temples, what I alway used to get, just telling me that something other was here, and this time there was magic worked, don't ask me how I know, but there you go...
I've no idea what they're intending. It could be one of the crew ain't shown their face yet, but why don't they use the com links? I can't help but think that they don't want people knowing they're here, and that never bodes well.
But of course, I'm paranoid, maybe all the warm and fuzzy's in the air are making me over react. But I think we oughta tell someone, TRM sounds the best bet, but that guy with the cat, he seemed pretty big on security.
I vote we find him. But first of all, I need to pick up something from my room.

Deuce seemed to be startled by that question, and released Scorpion Regent’s arm. She showed Scorpion Regent her wedding ring.
“Yeah, I was a bride,” she said, wistfully. “But my husband died. Accident. Anyway, seven of us brides were brought here to the SereniTree a long time ago. Magic spell or something. I was the second of us to appear, so that’s why I’m Bride2. But this is not a bad place, and I had nowhere better to go, so I stayed.”
Since SR gave a description: Deuce is a young woman, perhaps not yet twenty. She has red hair, which she keeps short, and freckles. She is by no means beautiful, but might be regarded as cute. She is a bit shorter than average. She is an athlete who trains constantly, so she has a strong physique (but is not overly muscled). She seems to have no concern whatever for makeup or clothes. She is most often seen in some gray sweats or else jeans and a t-shirt. Since she began weapons training, she has always carried around a pair of katanas. She tries to control her temper, but usually fails. She is trying very hard to prove herself, and to hide her insecurities. She gets frustrated when she keeps missing the more profound bits of Jazaf’s teaching. A brain girl she is not.

She feels full of energy this morning. So, she leans over and kisses the still-sleeping Soul on the forehead, then gets herself ready for the day.*
*She wanders first into the kitchen and makes herself a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Then she heads over to her garden where she does some pruning and weeding. As she works, she sings to herself.*
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
eating all the gumdrops he can see
stop, kookaburra, stop, kookaburra
leave some there for me.
*She picks up the pruned branches from her fruit trees and carries them up to the balcony on the third floor. Then she heads over the the clubhouse, where she grabs a couple hammocks lying on the floor, unused. She carries those up to the third floor, too.*
Oh hush thee my dove,
Oh hush thee my roan
Oh hush thee my lapwing
My little nutbird.
*From there, she wanders over the the barn, where she feeds the piffleponies apples and carrots she had stuffed in her pockets.*
Hushabye, don't you cry.
Go to sleep little baby

And then she begins to work, singing all the while.*
Baby owlet, poor little owlet,

Won't you send me your sweet pinion?
Won't you send me your sweet pinion?
Won't you sent me your sweet pinion?

Soul wakes up groggy and grumpy, just as he does every morning. One would think that someone just returned from the dead would be happy that they could go to sleep and wake up the next morning; but not Soul.
Go figure.
After blindly finding a cup of coffee from the kitchen clad only in boxer shorts, he returns to Serenity's room and begins his daily regiment of exercises. He pulls on some jogging pants, but leaves off his shirt and proceeds to make several laps of the second floor balcony, stopping by the Security Office to find that his desk is still in relatively the same shape it was since he had last sat there. He makes a mental note to track down NOSkillz and ask him about joining the security detail. Serenity had spoken highly of him before. He makes several more laps and returns to the kitchen for a bottle of water, and then it is back to Serenity’s room and to the shower. Afterward, he dresses and arms himself with his bow and arrows, strapping his bandolier of arrowheads across his chest first. Then, with a deep breath he steps out of the room and makes an announcement to the SereniTREE:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Security Chief is back and ready for act—AARRRGGGHHH!!!”
Afterwards, while lying on his face on the deck, he makes a mental note to tie his shoes from now on.

Seryn adjusts the belt around her hip, clipping the quiver to it by the straps, then adding to the belt a small deep hammock style pouch, into which she places Archie, who immedietly turns himself to look studiously out of the litte window chewed in the leather for just that purpose. She goes to place Esme in the bag aswell, but seeing JH's puzzled expression, she hands Esme to him.

There my mission is done. Well Lady if you would be so kind as to pass the message along to Soul for me. I am free of my debt to Ash and Xander, so I wish to take my leave of this accursed ship. If you ever have the need of a respectable pirate, please don't hesitate to call upon me, the Dread Pirate Roberts. Is there anything else I can do for you my lady?

As you wish.

TheRealMe wanders around the Common Room, astounded at everything that has been going on lately, and happy that Serenity is out of danger! He goes into the kitchen to get some ice cream. Sadly, the fridge is long since out of Ice Cream from the Purple Dimension.
Mindful of the missing Bride6 and Bride7, he again attempts to open a portal to them, as he did for Mai. Unfortunately, his powers are still exhausted from over-use in Mai-Quest2.

Then she see TWG and the doctor running along the third floor, just inside the door of the room they enter she see a man appear as he removes an invisibility cloak.
*gasp* Oh my god! ROBERTS?? Roberts? the Dread Pirate Roberts here? Butterfly's break out in her stomach, the usual reaction to seeing or hearing of a guy she's fancied for years... oh yotz, why can't pirates get agents? then they give advanced warnings about appearnces. Still, brief pause to appreciate the ass from this angle....aaaaand back to buisness.

Whoa! hold on there!
Its a very long and involved story, I don't much want to go into it, though I guess its gonna have to come out sooner or later.....
Upshot is, I'm, ahh.. not really Nell.
*braces for reaction, looks up to find that SR is simply staring at her*
I'm not Roses sister. I know that I said I was, but, i'm not, as far as I know the real Nell is still living with her husband on their counrty estate in Shropshire.*shrugs*
I used her identity to hide for a few years, I got word several moons ago that I didn't need to do that anymore. I thought about leaving...
*throws her hands up* well, you were gone! Mad Morty wanted your job, I couldn't keep refusing him. Gods, I never thought I would see you again, I thought you were someones wacky tribal ornament by now - you're gonna have to tell me what you were doing - and well, the rest of the crew? nyah...
Anyway, these guys turned up, I decided to go with, I left the serum on the ship, so my disguise wore off, and here I am.
Though honestly, taking over this ship, not a problem, the security is crap, people just keep popping in and out, devil may care like *gets all happy* Do you realise the Dread Pirate Roberts was just here? *sighs* oh he's so gorgeous. *pouts* and he came and went and I didn't get so much as a chance to scream 'I want your babies' at him. *grins - back to the point* I mean I understand that their security officer has been dead for a while, but still...
How did you get here?
Though saying that, I get the impression that though taking the ship presents no problems, keeping it would be a major pain in the ass.
Regardless, thats not my intention, hell, I was even thinking of trying something new and making myself useful.
Oh don't look at me like that! Still, Hi! my name is Seryn *points and sticker* Holds out her hand to shake SR's, as he grasps her hand she pulls him into a quick hug.

So Seryn,
You're thinking of staying on seeing what happens eh? That sounds good, I mean they have a pool table and FUNHOUSE pinball, and a swimming pool, and a bar. Very familiar.
I agree holding the ship would be a problem. I'm still trying to figure out the priorities of the folk here. Leave the head of secruity dead in a freezer for a while, quick! everyone rescue Serenity from the singing telegram....seems odd, but certainly entertaining.
Staying and being useful, with an armoury like yours and 2 vorpal bunnies? Likely not too hard.
Good to hear you don't need to run anymore, glad whatever that was got resolved.

"You can play in a minute but for now, it's time to stand fast me bucko and hear me out. Do you know what nine out of ten dead pirates all have in common? They failed to think things through. I don't care if you really aren't Nell, but you really are my captain and once a pirate captain always a pirate captain. Maybe you are thinking that being a pirate was a mistake, but your biggest mistake was not realizing what you were getting into when you took the title of captain. It's not like a job a the hair salon that you can quit once the shine goes away. You have commanded men (and women) in a brazen criminal league focussed upon the flaunting of all law and extortion for profit by threat and force. Even if you could get the crew to agree to let you off the hook there's the entire 'verse to contend with. If word get's out that Voodoo Nell has given up the plundering and pillaging, every other pirate out there will beat a path to your door looking to deprive you of alll the loot you ever earned. It doesn't matter that you may not have it or never did. Pirates get drunk and tell tales and there a lot of raids and attacks that you have had no part of that have been blamed on you and not by nice cuddly pirates like our old crew, no but by animals only barely human. There are governments that will blame their atrocities on you because everyone hates a pirate. There are bounty hunters, sherriffs, privateers and naval officeers no end, out there, searching for the notorious Voodoo Nell. Lastly there will be people out there that will continue to commit terrible acts in your name once you have stepped down. If you stay active and continue to build a reputation based on true exploits others will a tad more reluctant to think you a easy target or a quick false flag to fly. You see you can't just walk away. We can lay low for awhile, but in time you will have to fly the black flag again. If you choose you may play the Robin Hood and try to do some good. Perhaps you can take a page out friend Roberts' book and cede your legacy on to someone else. Or I could kill you."
Seryn's eyes go wide as pie plates and her face goes to a shade of pale that's almost reflective.
"Well, actually we would have to fake your death. Don't worry we'll figure something out."

now just a second! I know we look a bit loony at the moment, but we can be a force to be feared. If you're a part of this crew, we stand with you. You can be sure of that. No worries...well, maybe a few...but we always win...okay two of us have died once or twice, but we're alive now...just know that if you need us, all you must do is ask.

SR looks out of the infirmary door and realizes he's too damn tired to walk to the kitchen and decides he doesn't care about a door with a lock as he climbs onto the examining table and falls asleep instantly.
Twenty minutes later he awakes with a blood curdling scream and with his dagger in his hand before he's completely conscious. He sheaths his blade and wanders out to find a room with a lock, If only to keep from killing someone in his sleep.

"You can play in a minute but for now, it's time to stand fast me bucko and hear me out. Do you know what nine out of ten dead pirates all have in common? They failed to think things through. I don't care if you really aren't Nell, but you really are my captain and once a pirate captain always a pirate captain. Maybe you are thinking that being a pirate was a mistake, but your biggest mistake was not realizing what you were getting into when you took the title of captain. It's not like a job a the hair salon that you can quit once the shine goes away. You have commanded men (and women) in a brazen criminal league focussed upon the flaunting of all law and extortion for profit by threat and force. Even if you could get the crew to agree to let you off the hook there's the entire 'verse to contend with. If word get's out that Voodoo Nell has given up the plundering and pillaging, every other pirate out there will beat a path to your door looking to deprive you of alll the loot you ever earned. It doesn't matter that you may not have it or never did. Pirates get drunk and tell tales and there a lot of raids and attacks that you have had no part of that have been blamed on you and not by nice cuddly pirates like our old crew, no but by animals only barely human. There are governments that will blame their atrocities on you because everyone hates a pirate. There are bounty hunters, sherriffs, privateers and naval officeers no end, out there, searching for the notorious Voodoo Nell. Lastly there will be people out there that will continue to commit terrible acts in your name once you have stepped down. If you stay active and continue to build a reputation based on true exploits others will a tad more reluctant to think you a easy target or a quick false flag to fly. You see you can't just walk away. We can lay low for awhile, but in time you will have to fly the black flag again. If you choose you may play the Robin Hood and try to do some good. Perhaps you can take a page out friend Roberts' book and cede your legacy on to someone else. Or I could kill you."
Seryn feels herselve pale, and then begin to redden with anger
'you think I don't know all this? You actually think I don't realise exactly how many people would like to seee me dead right at this moment? I've spent most of my life wanted, where do you think the paranoia come from, right now I have eight different weapons on me! Does that seem healthy to you? Back in my room theres a small armoury! you know that little story I mentioned? well, you may not believe it but most of it is true, the biggest lie is what killed them!
*calms*
I know full well that leaving the crew is going to stir up a storm of crap, for me and for them.
Killing me is not an option, the real Nell intends to return, with or without hubby, I can't kill off her life like that, so in the mean time?
For your information, I have thought this through, You remember that cabin boy I had? Well, NOT A BOY. And i'm not talking about age, though he was full well too old for the post.
The important factor here is he was girl! Elizabeth was the name she gave me, and even now she's on Roses ship, she has my serum and at the right time she's going to go back as me, or as Nell. All that time spent in my cabin? Yes I know what the crew thought we were doing, well she was learning to be me, my mannerisms my speech, my style of fighting even.
Seryn trails off, suddenly thoughful.
But you know what? one of us is eventually going to have to go back to support her. I don't like the thought of her on her own, in the beginning anyway.
*anger returns*
Jack, I'm not in the party mood anymore, i'm not fit company, for anything much...
From outside the infirmary, they hear TWG, as Seryn listens to what she says, she begins to get flustered, unused to that kind of blind, whole hearted support...
Thank you TWG, I... but if people come after me the first thing i'm do

Oh, thanks, TWG!
But you don't always make things worse, where would you come up with an idea like that? You know we all love you here. We love your weird ways.
I'm sorry if I was a bit rude earlier. All these stupid pregnancy hormones, you know. I'm just a mess.
*starts shoveling nachos in her mouth*
Besides *she says, with her mouth half full* I've made some improvements to my original design.
Now, did you say pie?

uh huh. You want a particular kind? I'm just making some for the twister game. How can they play without the pie? We always play twister with pie! *fondly remembers getting pied while playing twister and while not playing twister...* I'm just making the basics, but if you want a pie, i can make you a pie. I hear you like coconut *ick* would you like a coconut cream pie?
