This is Thread 47 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Following this post will be the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V6”. This post will be a description of the ship and crew.

Below is the summary of the previous thread at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=20127

On Sereni-Tree in orbit:

The “Alliance” Cruiser that is launching fighters and threatening the Sereni-Tree and her people is determined to actually be a “Blue Sun” Cruiser. Jadehand, Wisp, and Jake7 crew the turrets. TWG, Trey, and Quincey are on the bridge. Bride6 offers to take care of Shadow and Ghost, but Shadow stays on the Bridge to help. Jadehand goes down to Engineering to show Jet the Somebody Else’s Problem field that can turn ships invisible. She figures out how to install it into Sereni-Tree. Also, she programs a crybaby to duplicate the Sereni-Tree.

On Commerce:

TheRealMe and Sparky, in the shuttle Napoleon, are dodging fighters from the cruiser, keeping the fighters’ attention away from the “kidnap Serenity” plot. Just as TRM is using a teleportal to get out of that situation, Washie disappears on the Sereni-Tree. This distracts TRM, and he ends up in the same Monty Pythonesque dimension where Ath and Kelly have fallen (and where they are enjoying a nice swim, and where Kelly latere has an elf-looking-West moment). Soon, TRM makes a portal to return to the Sereni-Tree’s Bridge.

Serenity and Seryn are rescued from the building where they had been held. ScopionRegent has gone missing from the Serenity rescue group. Safe and the crew of the Dagger (Jennings, Bear, and Grunt) make a diversion at the Leighton Docks starport while others (Citizen, Soul, Seryn, McQ, Needy, and perhaps Jazaf) carry the unconscious Serenity and drunken Cozen in a dress to the ISSCV dropship. Citizen blows something up, causing more diversion. Seryn gets in the pilot seat of the ISSCVwhile Needy and Citizen crew the turrets. They lift off, as do Safe and the Dagger crew in the Dagger. For a short time, those two craft and Sparky in the Napoleon fly in formation, but Sparky tries to interpose his shutte in the line of fire to protect the fighters. The fighters are eventually shot down. Sparky veers off. Throughout this time, Needy is having conversations with the Serenity-like angel that only he can see. Apparently, he is some Chosen One who will accomplish great deeds to save the ‘Verse… or he is hallucinating. He tries to ignore his angelic visitor.

ScorpionRegent has already taken the Admiral Nelson off, and is on his way to rendezvous with Sereni-Tree.

Mai and LightMeDark end up in a helicopter hovering over Commerce City. Eventually, they are picked up by Sparky in the Napoleon who offers to return them to the Sereni-Tree.

On Sereni-Tree:

With the enemy fighters approaching, Quincey drops the crybaby, activates the SEP field to turn the ship invisible, and does a quick burn to get them moving. Unfortunately, using the engines allows the enemy to spot Sereni-Tree.

At this time, ScorpionRegent is flying the Nelson to rendezvous with the crybaby that is simulating the Sereni-Tree.

TheRealMe comes onto the bridge, and has the main engines shut down and the reactionless thrusters activated. This allows the ship to maneuver unseen. TRM has Quincey chase after the Nelson while he gets ready with grappler arms to grab it and ThatWeirdGirl gets ready to take over piloting the Nelson, after she tinkers with the com equipment.

As the main hanger doors are opened, the fighters spot Sereni-Tree and TRM has Quincey perform a crude but quick barnswallow move on the Nelson. It crashes inside the hanger and starts a fire, which TRM and Wisp work to put out, which is done by op

THE REAL ME’S GUIDED TOUR OF THE SERENI-TREE, V6

Hello! I am TheRealMe. I will provide another tour of the Sereni-Tree, my sixth. 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. 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? GreekToomey? PyreFX? See also the ‘missing in action’ section of the crew list.

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, an interpretation of which can be found in ThatWeirdGirl’s Blue Sun items. 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. After that, we recovered ThatWeirdGirl and went on a second Mai-Quest where we befriended pirates. Then we got all caught up in the Boros Incident, where the Sereni-Tree was heavily damaged in a battle with two Alliance cruisers. Finally, we have faced a lot of peril on the planet Garrison and its moon Commerce, and are now headed back to Earth-That-Still-Is and are about to hold our Second Gala Pageant.

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 always piles her stuff. The Captain has a designated room in one of the Wings, that room has rarely been used. The top of the pool table is where the Captain sometimes climbs to address the crew. Rat had once traded the pool table’s 8-ball for more Spam, but TheRealMe recently acquired a replacement. Its cue-ball is still stained purple from trav

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 4:06 AM (P)

After all of the Sereni-Tree’s shuttles are recovered from their adventures on Commerce, TheRealMe uses Sparky to haul out of the Napoleon Bonaparte the many purchases he made. New couches and recliners, a new entertainment center, new tables and chairs for the bar, replacement DVDs to line the shelves, and many other such things. Soon, the Common Room is back to its pre-Boros normal state. “Sparky, please dispose of all the old broken furniture bits and other trash.”

TheRealMe looks about, satisfied at a perfect reconstruction job. “This calls for a celebration! Computer! Locate Washie!”

“Washie is not aboard the Sereni-Tree.”

TheRealMe rolls his eyes at the computer. “Computer, locate ItsAWash.”

“ItsAWash is not aboard the Sereni-Tree.”

“Oh. So she left...” Sadly, TheRealMe wanders over to the pool table and selects a cue. From the pocket of the suit he is still wearing, TheRealMe pulls an 8-ball and plops it on the table. He begins a game of pool.

------------

Meanwhile, folks decide if they will stay behind in the Garrison system or stay on the Sereni-Tree for the hyperjump to Earth-That-Still-Is.

Ath keys in the correct commands and the Sereni-Tree leaps into hyperspace.

Angles, bank shots, and English spin. He stands back to watch shaking the can of whipped topping in his hand to indicate the stakes of the game. He fills one hand with cream and hefts it in his hand. Suddenly from behind... JadeHand wipes the cream from his face and chases after his attacker.*

Not satisfied with merely making tacos, Kelly begins an adventure in Mexican cuisine. Soon she is surrounded by platters of rolled and flat tacos, veggie and bean burritos, cheese, chicken and/or pork enchiladas with red or green sauce (New Mexico style!), stuffed sopapillas, flautas, carnitas, chile rellenos, refried beans, spanish rice, fresh made tortillas and tortilla chips, red and green salsa of all heats, sour cream mixed with chopped and roasted green chile, and flan, fried ice cream and plain sopapillas with honey for dessert.

Mixing up the last of her famous guacamole (who knew Elves liked avocados so much?) Kelly locates a dinner bell and rings it loudly.

"Dinner for anyone who wants it!"

I had one ball about to hit the ground fall into a portal and come out above us. PsychicRiver used telekinesis..." TheRealMe loses his train of thought.

Oh, right. Here's an idea!

While the Second Gala Pageant is being organized by ThatWeirdGirl and Cozen, I would like to suggest that part of the contest include the "Bizzare Clothing" competition. We had talked about doing that back in thread 8 or 9, then got distracted by the first Mai-Quest.

Examples that I remember were the Leaf dress created and worn by Mai, the Saran Wrap Dress created and worn by CageyBee, the Aluminum Foil Dress created by CageyBee and worn by her and ThatWeirdGirl, and the Dress of Living Butterflies, created by me and worn by Mai.

Thank you!

"can i have a taco please"

"im a talking goat and id like a taco please?"

SR, having wandered up to the kitchen hearing that there was food, quickly puts a taco in a large bowl and sets it on the floor for the goat. He then fills a plate for himself and not seeing Jett he then fills a plate for her loads both onto a cart with flatware, napkins and glasses. Not knowing Jett's prefference for drinks he fills a large thermos with virgin Margueritas. SR is set to leave when he feels some thing is wrong. He realizes that there is something important that needs doing. He walks into the working section of the kitchen and finds the cook, a tall willowy woman with striking facial features and pointed ears.

"Forgive my intrusion." A unfamiliar voice says as KoL is bent over a pot of beans. She sets aside the large spoon she was stirring with, wipes her hands on her apron and turns to find a man she had not met yet standing in the kitchen. Something about this man is different. She find him familiar in a vague and distant way.

"Yes,"

"I came to thank you for this meal you have cooked for us. Your generousity is great, I came to praise it. I am called Scorpion Regent." SR says and, for reasons he can't quite fathom, he bows to this bueatiful woman.

"I am Kelly of Luthien." KoL replies with a curtsey.

"I am honored to meet you. I must go now, for the food grows cold and my co-worker in engineering must be hungry." SR finds himself bowing again and takes his leave. "What is it about that woman that seems familiar?" He wonders to himself as he leaves the kitchen. He stops and puts another taco in the bowl for the goat and then rolls the cart with the food to engineering.

A little earlier, before the hyperspace jump, in Engineering:

"I don't know if Mr Jedi is coming back. I know that if he does, I will surrender the room back to him in a heartbeat. I can tell you that from what little I know about him he's a amazing man. I suspect that he and I have a lot in common. Sometimes I wish I could sit down and talk with him over a beer. I suppose I miss him and I never met him." SR pauses and take a deep breath and then let's it out and begins anew.

"Life is about change. I guess I'm one of those changes. I'm sorry if you felt left out today. I promise to include you in any future tinkering sessions, if that's what you want. I know I'm not him and I not going to pretend to be him, but I know that all we have on this ship is each other and I'm here now. Tomorrow I plan on building a still if things are quiet. Would you like to help me?"

Jet smiles. "Oh, Grey could be stubborn. He could even be annoying. But he was quite a guy. Actually, you remind me a lot of him. Uh, in a good way. Oh, and I don't mind if you want to tinker up something without me. I don't feel left out. But I'd really like to see it when you're ready. And I'd love to help on a still!"

Jet's tummy rumbles. "Oh, Warren, would you mind terribly much going up to the kitchen and bringing down something to eat? I really need to wait here for the signal to jump to hyperspace."

ScorpionRegent agrees, and Jet gives him a hug. "Thanks. Thanks for everything."

And so ScorpionRegent heads up to the kitchen to meet Kelly.

When ScorpionRegent returns to Engineering, Jet is waiting for him with a large book sitting on a nearby table. "Here, I just ran off your own copy of 'Grey's Anatomy' for you, including my updates and annotations." She holds up a small crystal. "And here it is on a holocrystal, if you prefer. Complete design schematics of the Sereni-Tree. It's a bad idea for me to be the only one around here with a clue as to how things work."

Jet gives him a grin. "So, do you want to learn how to work the hovering Engineering Command chair? Want to take a ride?"

OOC: I'm not sure how this is going to work, cos I've also jumped ship to help Safe find Jack... but I suppose history can be rewritten. I want to give this "fun" thing a shot.

...

Needy strolls to the infirmary, intent on getting some more medication for that nasty "unbearable pain all over" side-effect from his resurrection.
"Don't you..." the unseen being starts to tell him.
"shut up"
"...understand how..."
"Shut up"
"important you.."
"Hey, I said shut up. I've had enough I really have. This is my time. My time to relax and veg out. Now go away."

Needy enters the surgery and discovers the room is empty.
"Doc?" He calls out.
Nothing.
Hey, I don't need him. I know what I'm looking for
Heading for the medicine cabinet, he finds a bunch of pills and scoffs a handful in his mouth.
Instantly his eyes widen and he stands up straight.
Looking down, he realises he took the wrong pills
He worries for a moment before shrugging, grabbing the right pills and swallowing them too.
What's the worse that can happen?

---

Needy slides into the common room, wearing nothing but boxer shorts, black socks and a white shirt.
As various members of the Sereni-Tree's crew turn to face him, he proceeds to spin on his right foot before "getting down" on the dancefloor.
"C'mon!" he encourages the others. "It's a party. Lighen up and have some fuuuuun!!!"

He tears his shirt open, exposing his bare chest whilst the buttons fly across the room, hitting people in their eyes (the buttons that is, not Needy himself.)

Needy turns towards the pool table upon hearing Lissa's cry of pain.

Making his way over to her and TRM by means of a feminine jog, he gets down on one knee and pleads
"Please forgive me my lady". Then taking her hand, he places a gentle kiss on her knuckles.
Her eyelids flutter and he raises his eyebrows.
The suddenly he leaps to his feet
"Alright. This table is mine!"
Pulling himself onto the table and kicking and remaining balls to the side, he starts to sensually and provocatively sway his body.
Then he pulls what's left of his shirt off and swings it around above his head
"Woooooooo!" he screams.

Shadow watched in amazement as the atmosphere around her changed from serious to silly in what seemed like an instant. One minute it seemed she was helping out on the bridge, the next she was wandering around watching the crazyness.

She was actually kinda sorta lost. She was regretting sending Ghost with Mrs. Bride Bobbi. Shadow wasn't used to not knowing where her sister was.

Wandering around the tree some more she ended up in the kitchen and grabbed something to eat. She was kinda hungry. Wandering back into the common room she sat in a relatively quiet corner and soon was fast asleep.

After meeting a very polite ScorpionRegent, Kelly, spoon in hand, peeks out of the kitchen to see what all the ruckus is about and notices the woman who had been speaking to Ath earlier sprawled on the floor with a shirt on her head. Setting down her spoon, Kelly glides over and touches the woman's face, muttering a few words in Elvish. Heat from her hand slowly dissolves the blossoming bruise on her eye, and the woman wakes with a groan and touches her face.

"Wow, thanks!" she says.

"No problem," Kelly replies. "Any woman who puts Ath in a frilly pink dress is a friend of mine! I'm KellyofLuthien, by the way. Mai govannen,, it is nice to meet you."

Seryn wander round the common room. She spends a few minutes trying out the various chairs, then get up to go look at the food, then starts wandering again. As Needy starts his dance on the table, she pauses and yell across the room

"Some one get the guy a pole!"

A small man with greying hair and very european clothing appears behind her. In a thick accent he introduces himself and peers at her expectantly.

"no, I meant, a ploe, as in a metal slidy... oh never mind *lead the man over to the table* Here, have a taco"

Resuming her wandering, she soon spots one of the little girls, Shadow? asleep in one of the undisturbed corners. Gently she shakes her awake and grins at her.

"Hey sweetie, wheres your sister? We got you some surprises from the commerce planet, you go find your sister and i'll go grab the gifts from my room, meet you here in ten say?

The little girl grins at her, eyes big as dinner plate, and as she runs off, Seryn returns to her rooms, picks up the shopping bags, and checks on the rabbits...

"OH MY GOODNESS ESME THERES MILLIONS OF THEM!"

Archie sits next to his mate and their brand new brood, all the pink and wriggling lot of them, the expression on his face somewhere between pleased-as-punch and freaked-the-hell-out.

Bobbie inclines her head and looks down to evaluate her handiwork. The numerous curls had set, and the little pink ruffled dress actually fit. She smiles. Bobbie Sue has just finished transforming young Ghost from a scruffy street urchin of indeterminate gender to a little Shirley Temple clone.

Bobbie tosses back her own curly blonde hair, takes the hem of her skirt in each hand, and executes a perfect curtsie.

“Look sweetie! You are SO pretty. We’re like twins, now!” Bobbie squeals with delight. "Isn't dress-up fun?"

Little Ghost stares at herself in a mirror, not quite believing her eyes.

Bobbie suddenly realizes that Ghost may not be entirely happy with her new look. “Uh, hey, sweetie, would you like one of my Barbies? I’m a collector, you know.” She throws open the doors to her walk-in closet, revealing from floor to ceiling a carefully ordered, cataloged collection. “Here!” She grabs one and displays it for Ghost. “High Society Barbie! Isn’t she gorgeous? And what fashion sense! It’s very rare. I had to get TheRealMe to go to some other dimension to find it for me.”

Ghost continues to stare at herself in the mirror.

Bobbie is unsure of what to do next. “Uh, would you like to go find your sister?”

Ghost nods gravely.

We are certainly an imaginative bunch! Over time, we have invented, created, developed, or discovered a number of odd and sometimes useful objects or beings. Some, like my robot Sparky, are still around. Others, like the Inviso-Katana of Bride1, are lost to us. Still, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to list all of these wonderful things.

Complete design schematics of the Sereni-Tree. It's a bad idea for me to be the only one around here with a clue as to how things work."

SR leafs through the tome. "This will help a lot. There is nothing worse than having to reverse engineer a piece of custom made technology under life threatening circumstances all because the creator couldn't be bothered to keep good notes. I'll use the book a lot more than the crystal, but both will be extremely handy. I'm moved by your trust and gift, you do realize how dangerous these could be in the wrong hands? I will keep them both close at hand and safe."

Quote:
Jet gives him a grin. "So, do you want to learn how to work the hovering Engineering Command chair? Want to take a ride?"

Jet, Bride4

"In all honesty the seniority dictates that the chair should be yours. Also my body is prone to go south if I don't use it. Hence I use things like powerchairs sparingly unless the need is great or the situation dire. So I must decline, but it's awfully cool."
SR can tell that Jett is trying to decide if her feelings should be hurt. He trys a different approach.

"Child I'll just turn into a old fat man in that, but you look cute in it. Get yourself all dressed up and have your hair done you would look down right regal in your own flying throne. 'The Queen of the Machine.'"

Jett's eyes go slightly out of focus and twinkle as she visualizes SR's narrative. SR knows that he has just avoided his first landmine. He gives her a few minutes to day dream while he looks through 'Grey's' and just when he starts to see Jett's attention come back to the now he speaks.

Jet smiles at ScorpionRegent. "Silly, the command chair is not a throne, or a toy, or all for show. All ship systems can be tied through that chair. Also, I drove it around while Grey was still here, as did TheRealMe and Needle. It's a tool, and a useful one."

Jet then rises to her full height (which is, frankly, not impressive) and looks up at SR. "Also, don't treat me like a kid, please. I'm not a kid. I'm not even the youngest of the Brides. I have a year or two on Deuce, I think."

SR is still staring at the contents of the large book, looking a little puzzled.

"Oh," she says, "I might not have mentioned that Grey was a technomage and a tech-priest of Mars, whatever that means. Some of his devices require incantations and the like."

"Do you have any idea how old I am? Of course you don't, because it doesn't show. As far as I'm concerned everybody on this ship is a kid, but that's a good thing because once you get to my age you are either a freak like me or dead. That is if you're human.
I'm sorry I made the error of trying to appeal to your vanity, a ploy that sometimes works for me when I deal with women. It was a mistake it won't happen again. Smear yourself from head to toe in grease for all I care, just mind the carpets and the furniture when you go into someones quarters.
I'll tell you what, you keep the command chair and I'll use Grey's here to get the schematics for the shipboard interfaces and make my own control unit. If I need to move around above my height or put myself in a positon awkward to the force of gravity I'll rig up a repulsor harness."

Jet, Bride4

"Oh that, I have heard of such things. I have never been comfortable with the blending of magic and technology. There are too many people who can't tell the difference to begin with. I like tech, it obeys the laws of physics. I don't like trusting life and limb to magic, because it can't be properly explained, at least to me, and that bothers me. Don't get me wrong I'll use tarot cards and one day I'll learn how to do the I-Ching if I ever get more than three days of down time in a row, but those are for entertainment, not something that I want to trust my life to. There's only one form of magic I'll use to save my life and I wouldn't say I trust it."

Jett takes all this in and decides to play the foil.

"Well you had better believe it. We've been flying around using Grey's technomagic for a long time now."

"And if I don't? Do we fall out of the sky? We seem pretty stable for the moment."

"touche."

they both start laughing in a low key sort of way.

"I think we could both use a drink so let's hook up that still, eh?" SR suggests.

Jett nods and smiles. "Yeah, let's,"

"After that I have something I want to do with, no strike that, I want to do for Snarky."

"What's that?"

"I going to teach him how to talk."

"Oh that's easy,"

"Yeah in the generic sense, but I want to give him a sense of humor and personality. It will probably be a disaster, but I want to give it a try."

"And you say you don't believe in magic."

"Touche!" SR smiles and then he adopts a false gruff front. "Still! still! We need ethanol!"

Shadow walked quietly through the halls looking for her sister. This ship was big, maybe she should ask if anyone had seen Ghost. She shouldn’t have let Ghost our of her sight, should have learned her lesson during Ghost’s disappearing act earlier. Taking a deep breath the girl tried to calm down. No one on this ship had harmed them in any way, no one on this ship had tried to hit them, no one on this ship had even attempted to turn them in to the authorities.

Looking around she realized she was lost.

Meanwhile somewhere else aboard the tree…

Bobbie is unsure of what to do next. “Uh, would you like to go find your sister?”

Ghost nods gravely.

Mrs. Bobbi was scary sometimes. At first she took Ghost to get something to eat but then she had taken her to this room and had spent several hours curling, washing, dressing, and putting all sorts of smelly gunk on her.

Ghost looked down at herself still not sure what she thought about the outfit she was now dressed in, and she definitely wasn’t sure about the hair, the dress was pretty but very ruffly, she was afraid she would mess up the outfit she was in. And her hair was all crinkly, she didn’t like that. She didn’t think Shadow would like it either. Shadow said they couldn’t dress in things like this cause they’d be noticed. Plus Ghost really didn’t want the nice people she had met to laugh at her. She looked like a dolly.

It was like Mr. Jones at the orphanage had told her. She wasn’t a pretty girl, she didn’t deserve pretty things, she and Shadow were gutter trash and should dress like it cause that was better than they deserved. Mr. Jones had told them that crinkly and fancy hair was for kids who deserved it and for kids who had families and who didn’t make their mommies and daddies run away. He had said only good girls got pretty dressies and Ghost knew she wasn’t a good girl. She had left Shadow with the ponies, and didn’t help with the buttons enough and and…

Her eyes began tearing up as they continued walking, her mind fully engulfed in her thoughts.

She didn’t notice Shadow till

Fire

Any time you could add those to the list, that would be great.

Engineering: The still completed SR now set himself to giving Snarky a personality. He began by uploading music and movies into Snarky hand over fist. After about two hours of what could only called data entry SR concluded that there was probably enough material for a intial test run. He then began by crunching code that would allow Snarky to access movies and music and use sound-bytes, mimic voices and play music in response to outside stimuli or as a reflection of some inner state, this takes quite a while. Finally SR steps back from his work, finishes his coffee and hits the button that sets the program in motion. Snarky immediately begins playing the opening bars of Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra" at high volume. Snarky notices SR's discomfort and reduces the volume slightly. After the fan fare ends Snarky goes silent.
"are you all right?" SR asks fearing some sort of overload may have caused the program to lock up.
Snarky snaps his head back does a James Brown shout starts dancing around engineering to "I Feel Good", picking up a pair of small wrenches Snarky drums along in time on the walls and conduits.
"You may have create a monster." Says Jett to SR.
"He's fine, ...so far."
"So what's next?"
"With Snarky?"
Jett nods.
"I'm just going to give him a little time to settle into it and then I'll make adjustments as needed."
"Okay then what's next in general?"
"I was thinking of another heat exchanger for a instant on demand hot water heater."
"For tea?"
"Yeah, hot chocolate, soups, and the like."
"Cool!"
"On the contrary my dear."

"I did?" Needy looks down and realises the only things he's wearing are his socks. Thankfully his dignity is covered by a tablecloth..
"Yeah, remember, you had a pole stuck in your ass."
"A.. Pole? Valdek?" Needy starts to panic.
"Who? Oh, the exchange student... No. A metal pole"
"Steelman: The polish sexbot?"
"No. An actual pole... a long metal.."
"vibrator?"
"No! Oh I give up" SimonWho walks off

Needy remains seated with a look of utter fear on his face.

Lissa laughs and grabs Kelly's hand as they search for Ath.

They find him in the cockpit, pink dress intact but currently the target of a stream of muttered curses escaping his lips. Kelly and Lissa stop in the doorway and eavesdrop.

"Gorram A-line, you're getting caught in the controls...and people with wings should not wear spaghetti straps...I need a racerback....and shoes, nice stiletto heels, if I'm gonna win this...."

"I think that can be arranged, don't you, Kelly?" Lissa winks as Ath spins around in his chair and curses as his dress gets caught again.

"Stilettos and perhaps some fishnets as well," Kelly nods solemnly, stifling a grin.

"Done!" Jazaf backs away rubbing his hands.
"The stage looks wonderful, a true tribute to the Winner of the Pageants....Me!" Malicious says jubilantly. However upon further inspection she spots a flaw. "What is that!" Mal points at the banner, shaped like Cozen in all his whimsical glory.
"I figured that since your the Queen of the Pageant we might as well have a suitable image of the oddites to come. I heard the last pageant had some odd gowns so why not an equally odd Host?"
Mal ponders this, her pause concerns Jazaf and beads of sweat begin to form on his brow.
"Very Well! I'll allow it!" Malicious says with an air of Finality. Jazaf breathes a sigh of relief and heads to the taco bar for a well deserved Fajita!

Eventually makes it back to the common room and joins Mai and Serenity, oh! wrapping presents is nothing! It also dry cleans and restores favoured boots to tired toes too!

They start a frenzy comparing new shoes, and cooing over baby clothes.

At one point Seryn feels guilty for the whole pole thing, and blows up a childs inflatable swimming ring and gets Needy settled on it in an armchair (very careful to keep the table cloth in situ), then invites the little old polish guy, and the exchange student, to join them for some icecream.

Then they go back to dicussing shoes, studiously ignoring the fact that Valdek is throwing Needy puppy eyes, Needy is concentrating too hard on his ice cream, and the old guy appears to have fallen asleep in his.

Shadow was officially lost, this ship was far too big. She didn't even see any of the adults around. She wasn't paying too much attention to where she was, at least not till she felt someone run straight into her.

Looking down she was about to yell at whoever it was when she got a good look...and then another...
It was Ghost...or at least she thought it was ghost.

Quickly Shadow went to her sister's side trying to calm the young girl even as she got a better look at her. Note to self she thought, Never leave Mrs. Bobbi and Ghost alone together...

Shadow tried very hard not to burst out laughing at the outfit her sister was wearing, she knew she wasn't entirely sucessful, when she saw her sister's crying get worse.

She couldn't lie to Ghost, the outfit while cute looked ridiculous. So telling her she looked good iin it was just out of the question, and saying it aloud could hurt Ms. Bobbi's feelings she looked so happy about the makeover...however there was something else she could do.

"Come on Sis, Mrs. Seryn and the others brought us stuff from their time on the planet." then leaning closer to Ghost she whispered in the girl's ear "I'll bet they got us some more outfits if not, I got a spare set in my bag."

Ghost whimpered then grabbed Shadow tight. Hoping Mrs. Bobbi hadn't noticed the rip. Shadow smiled down at her, biting her lip to keep from laughing. Then she knelt down again, "I bet Ms. Seryn can fix that right up. I won't let anyone hurt you kiddo."

Ghost nodded staying as close to her sister as possible.

"Mrs. Bobbi, I'm kinda lost do you know the way back to the common room that's where everyone else is?"

"Yes," Replies Seryn "Who is this strange robot?" she wonders to herself.
"I have a package and a message for you." Says Snarky handing her the box. His voice is replaced with a recoding of SR's voice.

"I must appologize that I can not accept your fine gift due to the circumstances it was given. If you want to resolve the situation between us you know where to find me.

"So serenity, did you want to go with a classic style for your dress or did you want something outrageous and modern? But still classy, of course... who are you going to have as your maids? you know, the girls would look stunning in deep pinky purple, they have the colouring, but thats just my guess.

Hang on, where are the girls? Whats taking them so long?"

She clicks her fingers and motions for the snarky robots attention.

"You preformed your task admirably, now, could you do us all a favour before you return to... wherever it is? Can you find the two small girls, Shadow and Ghost, and escort them back here? I fear they may be lost."

The robot seems indecisive, then agrees, and hurries off to find the two girls.

"Oh, I hope they arn't frightened by him!"
