Is it that time already? I started our last new thread only a week ago! Oh, well, here it is: Thread 37!
For the complete “Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, see:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877
Here is a summary of the previous thread at:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=16740
Near the beginning of this thread is “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V4”.
The inhabitants of the Sereni-Tree gladly consume the dinner cooked by KellyofLuthien.
The lady pirate captain GedunkRose departs the Sereni-Tree and returns to her ship by means of a dimensional portal of TheRealMe.
ThatWeirdGirl and her ex-husband BlackJackRackham have a reunion and heart-to-heart talk.
The mysterious Phantom that has been floating around since our return from the ]Arkham turns out to be the Soul of SoulofSerenity. He re-inhabits his mostly-dead body (which had been carefully preserved in cryo-stasis) and rejoins us! He has a joyful reunion with Serenity, and is deeply moved by their upcoming baby. Others express their happiness at his return, including Jazaf, TheRealMe, Jake7, and PsychicRiver. After being examined by Doctor SimonWho (at the request of TheRealMe), he resumes his duties as Security Chief and starts looking for new deputies, which seem to include Noskillz and PsychicRiver. When asked by Kelly, TheRealMe relates the epic tale of the death of Soul during the “Madness of Arkham” adventure.
A drunken Cozen staggers by, claiming to be the grandfather of the baby, since, during his time as a star cluster thingie, he created Serenity (and for that matter, Needleseye) along with the yeti and spiders and everything else on the planets of Rukus and Black Diamond. This astounding revelation is promptly ignored, as Cozen passes out.
Monkeytail wakes up behind the bar. He is helped by Noskillz.
Ath gets up nerve to talk to Kelly. They seem to hit it off. For some reason, Ath’s wings have not dissolved like others got from the Sea of Wings.
In the Infirmary, SimonWho receives PsychicRiver as a patient. PsychicRiver is afraid that he might be pregnant! ThatWeirdGirl takes her son aside and they have “the talk”. Later, PsychicRiver rigs up an odd piñata full of condoms. Mai is disappointed at the lack of candy, but she (and others) avail themselves of the falling prizes, just in case they prove useful later. VoodooNell offers to teach PR how to shoot and do other piratey things.
After waking up naked with a hangover (after Soul’s wake) in the “This Land” park, Bride2 has a few adventures with the mysterious stranger Scorpion Regent on her way to the water park to find some clothes. It turns out that Scorpion Regent just wants to find his captain, VoodooNell, to ask her if she wants to take over the Sereni-Tree! Meanwhile, Jazaf goes looking for his missing student, and finds her.
VoodooNell is revealed to be the slightly-shapeshifted Seryn, who owns a pair of trained attack bunnies. She dreads revealing the truth to Rackham, but it turns out okay. When approached by Scorpion Regent, Seryn/Nell revealed that she was not really Nell after all, and was thinking of quitting the pirate life. Also, while taking the Sereni-Tree would be easy, keeping it would be difficult. Seryn is curious about, and wary of, Noskillz’s huge cat, Shadow.
BlackJackRackham is revealed to be Jadehand, who seems to be the same individual except for the lack of an eyepatch and of the ability to magically refill his bottle of rum. Seryn/Nell and BlackJackRackham/Jadehand make some “Hello my name is” stickers to wear.
Serenity begins building a nest on the upper balcony over the Common Room. The mysterious ManInBlack arrives, begins tracking her with magic, and finally confronts her. PsychicRiver senses the intruder and sounds an alarm. ThatWeirdGirl leads the rescue, armed with her trusty hula hoop, but manages to do little more than disrupt the building of the nest. Luckily, it turns out that Xander and Ash

*CMS finds Soul sitting in his Security Office.*
Hey you! I have some interesting news to tell you.
We received a singing telegram from Ash & Xander, congratulating us on the baby. It was delivered by the Dread Pirate Roberts. The best/worst part, is that TWG thought DPR was going to hurt me and attacked him with her hula hoop. Nearly destroyed the nest I had just finished building. But I fixed it, and it looks better than ever, I think.
Soul: Um..you built a nest?
CMS: Of course! Where else do you think I'm going to have the baby?
Wasn't that nice of Ash & Xander? We'll have to send them a thank you note.

Seryn remember her secret stash, as she rummages through a side pocket, SR hears what sounds like dozens of bottles clinking together. Right, I have that blue stuff, aaaahh, campari? I don't know, its bright red, chocolate liquer, cherry, oh gods is there any real alcohol in here? Ah! With a smile of stasfaction she produces a bottle of 12 year old malt whiskey.
SR smiles, he takes the bottle and goes to drink from it.
Uh uh uh! we're going to be civilised! glasses on the sideboard....
You've been gone what, half a year? we lost you on that island, you know, the one shaped like a starfish, we thought, from your last campsite, and the behaviour of the locals, that you were long gone.
SR, sits back on the bed and she pours them both a drink.
'I remember that evening before, that was one hell of a party then...'
Seryn thinks about the therapy thing again [ihey wonder if the ship needs a counsellor? as he sits recounting his adventures, and all of the things he saw while awy. no wonder he's having bad dreams.... I couple of hours later Seryn leaves, having poured most of the contents of the bottle into SR's glass and left him sleeping it off.
On entering the common room she looks out for PR, that lesson is long overdue, while i'm here I should find Soul and tell him i'm willing to help if he wants me too...
Trying hard to avoid looking at all the twister players with their pants off,who would have thought of a prudish pirate eh? she makes her way up to where Serenity built her nest, reasoning that Soul will be with her if anywhere.

He floats into the common room, his anger nearly overwhelming him, and he has made the decision to kill the first person he gets to when he sees--
Twister!!
Running, or rather floating over, he watches as the spinning mop calls out "right foot red". So Phantom puts his right foot on red, and laughs as he plays along with the others; and in that moment of childish joy, he dissapears in a puff of logic that simply states that an evil incorporeal being just cannot enjoy Twister. ESPECIALLY not pant-less Twister

*Having lurked and watched the dramedy adventures of this rag-tag bunch o' pirates, sylphs, preganant souls, Real and UnReal folk long enough, ItsaWash steps out of the shadows and into a pile of whipped cream in the kitchen.
Quick to notice such things, she follows the manly footsteps in the mess out the other door of the kitchen, knowing which direction to go when the steps disappear (as the cream wears off) by the scent of pie filling on the departing male.
No wait...the male smells like leather and orange crush. The pie scent is from a female.
Hurrying along, vaguely hungry now, head down and concentrating, she runs smack-dab into a strong backed man carrying a pie-clad woman, and all three collapse in a limb-entangled heap.
Wash blacks out, her last sight before engulfing darkness is a very surprised tall dark (but reclining) man and a very creamyfied and unconscious woman. A nanosecond before the dark slams her down deeply, Wash sneaks a fingerfull of whipped cream and pie filling off the female's arm, swallows, smiles and fades.*

The door closes and SR opens first one eye and the the other.
"That ought to hold her for a while." he thinks to himself. "If I told her the truth she'd have nightmares. I'd wake up to find myself locked in, right proper, from the outside. Six months, have passed,...for everyone else. For me five years, maybe six of complete and total fear and loathing. If she only knew that the story I told her would have been a welcome relief from what I really went through."
SR gets up and walks to the door. He extracts a tube of superglue from his pocket and seals the lock shut. He return to the bed finishes the last of the alcohol in one draft and rolls toward the wall and cries himself to sleep.

Standing up, she offers a hand to Ath and Mai and pulls both of them to their feet. Bowing to LMD, who appears to have won the game, Kelly then grabs at the waistband of her scrub pants. Being a few thousand years old has some perks, and one of them is losing all sense of modesty. Kelly pulls down her scrub pants and steps out of them, revealing a pair of black boyshorts with the phrase "Elf Booty Got Soul" in rhinestones on the backside.
Satisfied that she played by the rules, KOL heads into the kitchen and starts cutting pieces of pie for everyone*

Bride6 pouts and gives a heavy sigh. "Well, okay, I'll leave it." She returns the rocket launcher to its case. "But I'm not some 'gun nut', Mister! I'm a weapons enthusiast!"
Bride7 rolls her eyes. "Whatever!"
(Pssst! Hi Washie. Welcome to the crazy house!)

SR wakes up with a groan that could be heard a parsec away. His body is screaming at him. He tries through the pain to put the situation in order. He's hungry, nigh starving. It's been four days since his last meal. He's dehydrated. He's hung over. He's locked in a room because he superglued the lock shut and he needs to pee.
His one solace is that he woke up in the same place he went to sleep.
This for SR is not a bad morning, his life is in no immediate danger.
"I'm in pain and the pain tells me I am still alive." he thinks to himself as he searches through his things. He finds a small aerosol can which he sprays into the lock. He waits and listens to the screams of his bladder and his head. He notes that if one of the two were to shift the key a little they would have a serious two part harmony going. He waits some more. He turns the knob. It remains frozen. He turns the knob harder. It gives and the door opens. he then walks to nearest fresher and finds a small and fleeting moment of bliss. From there he proceeds on to the kitchen.

Boros:
Fully stocked, Citizen closes up his armory and heads off to find Needy, the group in tow.
Back at the terminal, a man in a sharp gray suit and dark glasses strides purposefully up to the Alliance temporary base in the empty hanger, hands tucked seemingly nonchalantly in his pockets.
“Captain, a moment of your time please?”
The Captain looks up from his notes, clearly annoyed at the interruption. Upon laying eyes on the man in the suit, captain’s expression of annoyance melts off his face. He swallows nervously. “How can I help you?”
“How is your investigation going?” Every word the man speaks is slow and precisely enunciated.
Glad for the opportunity to shift the man’s attention from himself the captain turns and barks “Johnson, Chen! Report!”
The two soldiers run in and stand at attention, eyes flicking nervously between the captain and the man in gray.
Chen steps forward, “Sir! We are still going through the wreckage. Still no idea what caused the blast but we did find the registration for the shuttle.” Chen holds out a clipboard to the captain.
“The Sereni-Tree…hmmm, where have I heard that before…?” The captain mutters trying to remember. “Johnson, any luck with the terminal master?”
“Yes sir! We obtained this footage from the security cameras.” Johnson hands the vid card to the captain.
“Good work Johnson” The vid card plays a 2 minute loop showing Safe and Jack as they enter the terminal from the hangar. “Have a search set-up for these men.”
“All ready done captain.”
The man in gray reaches out a gloved hand and takes the vid card from the captain.
“Tell your men to stop their search and go to this address.” The man in gray writes the address on a piece of paper, folds it precisely in half, and hands it to the captain. “THIS is where they are going."
"Have your men wait outside the building." the man in gray ordered. His voice, while not raised, left no room for argument. "WE will handle it from there.”
A cold sweat trickles down the captains spine raising the hairs on the back of his neck as he hesitantly takes the paper from the gray man.
While the gloves themselves were no cause for concern; it was the color of the gloves…

SR walks through the bar. Seryn waves to him and he holds up a hand indicating what ever it is, it can wait. He takes the pitcher off of the bar blender and continues into the kitchen. Into the pitcher go: a egg, a snack carton of yogurt, a bananna, some berries, and a blob of orange juice concentrate. All of this is taken to the bar where a scoop of ice and 200cc of vodka top off the mix. The blender howls 90 seconds and breakfast is served.

"Captain under the influence," he thinks to himself "but influence of what? It's not booze. Her arms show no marks. I smell no smoke, but something's surely burning. Of course, she must be day dreamin' about that himbo."
"Forget it captain, you'll sooner walk on the sun."
Seryn's eyes come back into focus.
"What?"
"He only goes for damsels in distress. Strong women intimidate him. Besides he's just a proxy, a puppet. The real brains on that ship is his QM. He's just the posterboy."
Seryn turns to look at SR.
"I don't know what you're talking about"
SR is admiring the way the lighting of the common room shines through the bar doors.
"I guess then it doesn't matter then." He says
Seryn turn away from him. Her face that was a minute before completely relaxed, is now in a deep scowl. She crosses her arms in front of her.
"How did I ever come to be in business with this,...creature?" She asks herself.
Quote:
Everyone must attend.
SR ignores the anouncement and sits sipping his breakfast. He really likes it. There's nothing like going without for the better part of a week to make a man appreciate his food. His head is still hurting, but he knows that's just a pain, it's not a real problem. He really likes the bar too. He'll miss it when he's gone or when it's been destroyed. He would rather stay, but the way his life has been, he hasn't had much a say in what will happen, only how he can react to it.
Seryn stands and in the process purposely steps on SR's foot. SR winces more out of surprise than pain. Seryn storms out of the bar.
She is beautiful when she's angry SR thinks to himself. He imagines that if a man had to die in battle he could do far worst than to have the last thing he sees is Seryn enraged.
Seryn finds that walking angry tends get a person a short distance quickly and now that she's in the common room she is left with no outlet for her annoyance. She is tempted to start throwing pool balls, but she knows better.
"Quartermasters, can't break them to your will, can't kill them." She thinks to herself. "He should be out here." but that would force her to have to share that room with him. At that moment she didn't want to see if the common room was large enough for the two of them. She considers the possibility of ordering him to get off his bum and out into the common room, but the line of authority dictates that the captain really can only properly order the quartermaster in times of battle. Could this situation be interpreted as battle? A grin cracks through her frown for a moment. Her first impulse was to have taken that thing he was drinking and pour it into his lap, but she knew better that to take food from a starving man.

Hey Ath, I was thinking last night.

*She watches in some amusement as he struggles a bit with his wings as he sits on the couch.*

Ath: Okay.
CMS: Well, you know the myth on our planet how the first people came to be?
Ath: Vaguely.
CMS: Yeah, you never were one to pay attention to that kind of thing. Anyway, the story goes that the son of the Sea fell in love with the daughter of the Sky. But he couldn't reach her. So he went on this quest to find some way to get to her. Remember that big epic poem they used to make us read in school?
Ath: Yeah
CMS: well, that's all about all the trials and dangers he went through on his journey.
Eventually, he finds these magical waters infested with dangerous sea creatures and risks life and limb to secure some of the water. But get some he does, and with them, he's able to travel up to the sky.
Ath: Which is why it rains so gorram much.
CMS: Exactly. Well, anyway. They eventually have children, a male and a female, the first people. And the woman has wings, of course.
Ath: Yeah, I know all this. So?

*One of TheRealMe’s dimensional portals forms an indiscrete event horizon in a prominent corner of the Sereni-Tree’s common room. Through the shimmering haze a rather confused looking llama nimbly leaps on to the floor, skidding a bit on the slick hardwood surface. Trailing behind the llama is a leather tether. Attatched to the trailing end of the tether is cozen, who whiplashes through the rapidly diminishing portal and lands, inevitably, face first into the llama’s arse end, right underneath its upraised tail.*
*The llama idly kicks cozen aside as it sniffs its new environ. After a minimal hesitation it ambles off to the popcorn kettle in the kitchen. It headbutts the kettle off the stove and with little or no concern for propriety sets to snarfling the yummy contents.*
*cozen wipes his face with a corner of his vicuña fiber poncho, muttering something about losing a bet whilst experimenting with various formulations of tequilas at the bar in Escondite Hernando (which he thinks might have been in Peru, but coulda been somewhere in Bolivia or maybe even Tucumcarey, he hasn’t quite yet mastered TRM’s “borrowed” tech so it’s possible it might have been a soundstage in Londonderry and where did this digression go?). He notes the gathering of folk.*
Um, I had this dream about a call for a meeting?
*He makes for the couch, his stride looking for all the world as if he has an entire roll of toilet paper crammed up his wazoo. He plops down beside mailmd (for they seem kinda entwined, as it were). They heroically refrain from commenting on cozens’ odiferousness. The llama, done with the popcorn appetizer, sorta skitters over to the couch. The llama smells a lot like cozen. cozen introduces the beast, name of Schwartz.*
*Schwartz sniffs at the couch, then begins to eat it.*

PR, I can’t, sorry. I know this is probably because of me, but I need to find him…kay? Sorry, I’ll leave my wrist com on so I can hear everything you say. Is that good enough?
PR: No, I want you and everyone else in here. You’ve become some wacko woman. I’m asking you, as your son, Mum, please come to the meeting in the common room.

So, PR, what's this all about?
Well, nothing really. I just, ....felt like it.
The thing is...a lot of new people have come aboard recently, and it feels like we oughta...take stock or something. Or call attendance maybe? Or just, welcome everyone aboard. Asign them rooms and jobs and somesuch.
PLUS I'd like a bit more of an effort to find my father! I wanna know! AND is my presence in this time zone screwing up the future? Which is now, for me.
Sorry to whine, I'm grateful to those helping me look, it's just...I'm at a dead end, I don't know where to turn next.
AND we still have this issue of Emma being MIA, what are we doing about that?
And maybe we should have kareoke tonight.

Right, excellent point. Rooms. Well, I should let TRM know that I've moved back into my old rooms. It was just a little weird living with a man I didn't remember when there was a man I remembered...um, right, you didn't need to know that.

Kelly, I've been meaning to say a proper hello. It's wonderful to have you here. First of all, your cooking is fantastic, and second of all, it's always nice to have another minority around, you know? *twitches a wing*
Anyway, I've been meaning to tell you that I have a garden. I grow pretty much everything we eat here. Well, all the fruits and veggies and herbs. I'd love to show you around sometime when we get a chance. If you're going to be in charge of cooking, I'd like you to be able to take what you need.
Now, it looks like this meeting's about to start. Can I help with anything?

"Mae Govannen, CMS! Thank you for your warm welcome. I am delighted to hear that you have your own garden--we elves are fond of them, you know! Perhaps we can take a look after the meeting starts....Ai!" *looks down at her underwear* "I really think I should change before the meeting. You ok in here until I get back? Help yourself to the snacks, we want to make sure you're well fed!"
*KOL hurries out of the kitchen and down a corridor into the West wing. She passes an empty room and stops in her tracks, noticing an old wooden wardrobe sitting innocently in the room. Kelly moves closer and reads what appears to be an advertisement for holiday destinations:
Tired of space? Needing rest, relaxation, and all the Turkish Delight you could eat? Come to Narnia--where the weather is always perfect for skiing!
*Confused, Kelly opens the cupboard and finds a number of beautiful dresses, men's suits, and old tweed coats. Digging through the dresses, she catches a draft of cold air coming through the clothing. Looking further in, her eyes glance upon a lampost surrounded by snow.
"That's odd," she manages, then goes back to her task. She finds a beautiful Victorian dress in forest green velvet and lace. Slipping it on, Kelly turns around and admires herself in a mirror. Suddenly, she remembers the meeting and hurries back to the common room. She comes back just in time to hear:

Standing in an ever growing pile of popcorn Seryn flicks at switches, panicking just a little, 'it won't turn off!'
She sees Jadehand, 'what? oh, fine, never was a problem, you know that SR and I fight like pop diva's... ah! She pulls the cable out of the wall. There that should do...
The popcorn maker sputters, its lights blink and flutter, then it renews its rumbling, vibrating so hard that it begins to move towards her.
*really panicked* See this is what happens when I try to cook! Never goes well! why can it never go well?

SR walks up and asseses the situation and shoulders Seryn out of the way such that he is between the machine and Seryn.
"Fascinating, a self powered popcorn machine, It completely contradicts the laws of physics. Well it's bound to run out of corn eventually, but at that point it won't have a media to bleed off heat and it will catch fire and burn down the whole ship. Under other circumstances I'd experiment with this as a source of free power, but safety comes first."
SR put on a pair of heavy gloves such a welder might wear and then raises his voice to command level:
"THIS MACHINE IS GOING TO START A FIRE! WE HAVE TO JETTISON IT OUT THE AIRLOCK NOW! RACKHAM PUT ON YOUR GLOVES AND TAKE THE OTHER SIDE! SERYN POINT THE WAY! EVERYONE ELSE MAKE A HOLE. MOVE PEOPLE!"

Why does a popcorn maker have a back up battery? I mean, power cut out, or maybe the ship crashes, and they expect you to think 'well, at least we still have the popcorn maker.. lets go eat whilst we slowly suffocate...' I mean honestly!
*Punches the machine* *winces*
-------this brief and not too terribly amusing interlude was brought to you by the fact that I just had a fight with my own popcorn maker (stoopid plastic piece o crap) and feel that popcorn makers ain't villified enough in popular fiction.
I mean, even fridges (stooopid fridges)have taken a bashing, but not the most evil and pernicious appliances of all...
My problem was that I couldn't get the damn thing to work - stop.start.stop.start - But that ain't half as exciting as 'When Appliances Attack'----------
Well, help me get this stuff into bowls.

"If it is no longer a hazard I'm not moving it a inch,er...a centimeter. Who has enough money to afford a backup battery for something as unnecessesary as a popcorn machine? Why don't they have a secondary back up system for the whole ship? Fine whatever, well captain you broke it, so you can replace the switch, it's shorted out."
SR removes a multimeter and tool roll from his shoulder bag and hands it Seryn. The tool roll contains a adjustable wrench, er..spanner, various pliers, several screwdrivers, a electricians knife and other essentials.
"You may need these. Remember don't use the Ohmmeter on a live circuit."
Seryn looks in at SR in disbelief. Sr holds up his hands to indicate the problem is not of his making.
"Hey you broke it, you fix it, It's not your ship so unless you want to order Rackham to fix it, it's back to you. I have tour to go on, I'll see if I can find a replacement switch when we get to the spare parts locker. Ta!"
