*Ebo swings into the thread, dangling naked from the chandelier*

TRM said I could do this when I came of age, back in the 'love boat' days...so I've been bidding my time...

Now, where the hell is my pool table?

TheRealMe offers a snappy salute as he looks up. "Oh! Ahem!"

TheRealMe averts his eyes from Ebo's dangling nakedness.

"Welcome home, Commodore! Ummm... Has it been that many years already? Yes, yes, I suppose that I might have said something like that. Oh, your pool table is right were it has always been, smack in the center of the common room. Your nest underneath should be undisturbed.

"I regret to inform you, however, that your likeness, the Ebo Golem (aka Effigy of Ebo) has had the crap beaten out of it during fighting over Boros. It sort of got an arm blown off and it now walks with a pronounced limp. I did superglue back on all the pieces that I could find."

*Ebo dives under the table and rummages around until she finds her three pointed hat and sword, puts those on, and steps out from 'neath the table.*

Oh, guess a hat and belt don't really count as clothing, does it.

Oh well.

No worries, TRM, that thing always kind of freaked me out anyway. Its disconcerting seeing an exact copy of you with a magic marker penis drawn on its, um, well you know. Where the penis goes. That area.

Thanks!

So, I just thought I'd stop by and see how my little corner of the internet was going. So far, so good, it seems. Wacky and strange as ever.

TheRealMe studies Ebo's not-quite-nakedness for a moment.

"Umm... around the time of your last visit with us, I had Sparky fashion a Horatio Hornblower era officer's uniform for you, if you'd like to try that on.

Aw, I appreciate the offer of the uniform. But I'm good with naked, for now. Maybe later. If it gets cold or something. Got some shiny tattoos that I'd like to show off, among other things, thankyouverymuch.

And actually, life is good with Ice Cream Guy. I live with him now. Yup, got out of the Parents house, moved to the Beach, and we're living the good life. I should try to get him to join up here. I'll make him make his name be Ice Cream Guy, and then everyone in the know will, well, know.

Also, I might be a lesbian now. I dunno. Just throwing that out there.

*After much nudging and prodding, the hand makes the Potter clone take it to the large group of Tree-ers celebrating. A few faces the hand does not recognize look twice at the wiggly fingers, but for the most part folks seem unfazed.*

*Hopping from shoulder to shoulder, the hand looks for someone with a keypad or pen and paper. Sure would be nice to let these folks know it's a friendly hand.*

Well, I'm not planetside, I'm on the 'Tree where things are basically normal. However, this is not the weirdest plot we've ever had.

Methinks you need to read over our past threads to truly appreciate "weird"...

I do see that you are captain now. I wouldn't be so uncouth as to declare a mutiny or anything.

Or would I?

We'll need ropes, hacksaws, a rubber duck, two pound coins, two pounds of coins, some Rice Krispies (it must be Rice Krispies - Ricicles won't do), an ungulate above four feet in height, two fake ID badges and some beers. For the victory party afterwards.

"Sadly, all of the Big Damn Hero Clones dissolved into dust some time ago. However, After Bride1 was slain by Needleseye, Doctor SimonWho was convinced by the other Brides to clone her from her remains, and so we now again have a complete set of Brides."

She doesn't appreciate the chaos I bring to the table.

"Chaos!" Ace huffs, "I don't understand chaos! I am chaos incarnate. You are a measly little hand of a former oddity. You are nothing compared to me."

*nothing. nothing. The hand slowly clomps across the console. At Ace's pronouncement, the hand leaps at her knee, squeezing it*

TheRealMe watches, perplexed, as the disemboded hand of ThatWeirdGirl grips the knee of Ace.

"Ummm... Well, as I understand it, Doctor SimonWho did some tinkering with Bride1's genetic code. She's not nearly so crazy as she used to be."

Ace winces at the pain inflicted by the hand, but still gives him a look.

He continues: "That is to say, she is much less susceptable to being controlled by the very convincing arguments of that mastermind of psychology, the FemaleReaver... especially since we left her on Reaverworld a jump or two back."

Ace regards him coldly, as she draws her prized katana and begins casually sharpening it. "Look, hand, if you don't release your grip, then you'll force me to chop off your... ummm..."

A tall, attractive woman of African descent comes walking purposefully from the Sereni-Tree's bar to the site in the Common Room of the altercation between Ace and TWG's hand. "Hey! None of that!" she says sharply to Ace. She sets her pitcher of Margaritas on the floor and sits, crosslegged, next to Ace's knee.

"Stay out of this, Trey!" Ace warns her, waving her katana about menacingly. "I'm still an agent of Chaos!"

Trey dismisses Ace with a snort and a wave of her hand. Her face at Ace's knee level, she addresses the Hand. "Come on, sweetie. There's no reason to get so upset at Ace. Like TheRealHim said, the Doc stripped away most of the crazy DNA. Ace is mostly sane, now."

Ace scowls.

Trey continues. "I'd offer you both a free drink of my special brew, but..." She regards the hand. "Maybe we can inject it or something."

Meanwhile, TheRealme gets a beep on his com-link. He pulls it from his belt. "Hello? This is Me."

From the pilot dome above the Bridge, Quincey, a beautiful woman of Oriental descent with long, shining black hair, mades her report. "We've recovered all our shuttles. Everybody is aboard, and then some, considering the new folks."

TheRealMe nods. "Excellent, Bride5. Stand by, please." He touches a control on the device. "Bride4, what is our status?"

From down in Main Engineering, Jet, a rather short Caucasian woman with dark hair and glases, adjusts controls on her hovering command chair. "I've just finished spinning up the FTL drive. We can jump to hyperspace at any time."

"Thank you, Bride4." He touches another control, and his voice echoes throughout the ship. "All hands! Prepare to Jump!"

Um...if SimonWho was able to clone the others, why can't he simply just clone TWG from one of her fingernails or cells?

I think that would be a bit more tolerable for TWG, don't you think?

I know I, for one, would feel a wee bit safer keeping the two crazies in cryo!

Because if he cloned TWG, we're not sure if the clone would have TWG's personality, or if TWg would only be able to control the hand, or if the two personalities would have to fight it out for control of the body, or waht. Besides, the clone would be whole, and we'd have to cut off one of the hands and then re-attach the TWG hand, and that would be a bloddy mess.

Quincey stares out of the Pilot Dome up at the stars. Then her gaze drifts down to the lovely blue planet below her.

She so loves piloting!

She smiles and grips the controls at her sides. She twists them and Sereni-Tree responds instantly. She sees the planet Zanzibar slide across her field of vision as Sereni-Tree slowly turns.

The Nav computer speaks to her in the voice of Eddie Izzard doing an impression of James Mason. "Course computed and saved. All systems functioning at optimal levels. Capacitors of Faster Than Light Drive are fully charged."

Quincey holds her breath and pushes a big red button. Suddenly, everyone aboard gets a slightly queasy feeling as the ship is jerked out of normal space and falls into the mysterious and chaotic world of hyperspace.

Thrilled, Quincey slaps her hands together. "Great fun as always! Now we wait a week."
