Wanders in lost and confused...

Hmmm...

Kidnapping?

Havoc and chaos?

Where am I?

REALITY INTERRUPTION:

I will be away for the next two weeks and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get online or not while I'm gone. I hereby authorize the denizens of the TREE to 'write for me'.

Thanks

*Watches in uncomfortableness as Simon prepares to do the whole, ear-probe thing.*

I think I'll wait outside.

*PR steps outside and leans against the wall.*

*There is peace for a moment, the only sounds coming from inside the bridge. Then, out of the corner of his eye, PR sees something black dart across the corridor.*

*He quickyly turns to look, but see's noting. He hears something, laughter, somewhere, deep...inside the ship. He feels something, a presence...an energy.*

*He follows his whim, and his instinct guides him through the ship.*

*After making his way through the ship, PR finds the source of this Buzz.*

Jazaf, are you...okay?

PsychicRiver

"Two by two, hands of blue."
"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

Me -

JAZAF

Friday, July 1, 2005 10:00 PM

Visibly shaken, Jazaf turns to PR.
'Eh? I will be......' He stands up 'Uh. PR have you sensed anything odd in the past few moments? Cause while I was meditating......something.....tore away from me....It was a side I try to keep under wraps. But I felt it leave.'

PR looks at Jazaf with slight concern,'Actually that's why I came down here. Something went past me on the bridge and I followed the source, which ended up being you.'

Jazaf was puzzled, 'What's going on PR?'
*******

Meanwhile on the Fake Sereni-TREE
EvilJazaf approached the bar.'Evenin' ladies. Don't mind me, I'm just gonna fix myself a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.' EJ fixes his drink and observes the confusion.

'Where were you guys...'
'We thought You were kidnapped...'
'We were so worried....'

'So, Jaz,' Serenity looks up from her glass,'where's Soul?'
EJ pauses for a minute, pours himself a glass and says 'Oh, he'll be here soon.'
Not completely satisfied but alright with the answer, Serenity nods and leaves the bar.
Raising his glass in a Toast gesture, EJ whispers quiet enough for no one to hear, 'Here's to you and may you die as horribly and miserably as I plan.'
EJ downs his drink and musters the strength to take the fierce bite that comes with it.

'[/q]Time to start the show.[/q]' EJ thinks to himself.
'Allright, I got me a Bartending book and a whole mess of Liquour and various drinks. Let's clear up this confusion and see if I can get some use from the book at the same time.'

*Serenity leaves the bar and walks over to where MG is standing, surveying the scene around her.*

MG *she says quietly* something isn't quite right here. Do you feel it?

*MG nods*

I say we play along until we can figure something out. You got your Legolas knives on you?

*MG nods again, smiling as if Serenity said something amusing.*

IRL, Serenity's going to be on vacation until Tuesday. May not have computer access. Feel free to give her voice and actions while she's away.

STATIC

**Static sits alone in the cockpit, focusing on following the faint trail that had been left behind by his quarry. As he steered, he felt an odd sensation. . .and his eyes grew heavy. An odd buzzing filled his ears, lulling him further into relaxation.

Had our pilot not been alone in the cockpit, someone might have seen him become very relaxed. . .almost entranced. And then they would have watched as a spectral form rose from Static's chest. The shade bore the appearance of Static as reflected in black glass. The shade shimmered into solidity, looked at Static with contempt and began to walk out of the cockpit when he was stopped by the sound of a loud 'click'. The shade slowly turned, hands raised and smiled.

"Where the hell do you think YOU'RE going?" Static asked. EvilStatic smirked and leaned against the bulkhead.

"I've got stuff to do, pal. Besides. You wouldn't shoot me. I'm you."

The cockpit rang with a loud bang and EvilStatic's hand flew to his ear, where a tiny bit of blood came away on his fingertips. Static smiled.

"You know, you might not want to underestimate the lengths I'll go to where she is concerned."

EvilStatic laughed, "Easy, sparky. You know that I need her as much as you do, and you also know that you and I are a 'matched set'. The others on this bird may try to deny their shades. . .but you and I became dependent on one another a looooooooooong time ago. And that which matters to you, matters to me. Because I know something the other shades don't."

"Which is?"

"Darkness cannot exist without light anymore than light can exist without darkness. The others will never understand that. . .nor will they ever make the compromises you and I have made."

'Good'Static holstered his pistol and folded his hands.

"So what's the plan, then?"

EvilStatic shrugged, "I'm just gonna go get the lay of the land first. If I can get info back to you, I will. If I can't contact you, I'll contact PsychicRiver. He seems to be able to communicate with my type."

Static raised an eyebrow, "How do I know you can be trusted?"

EvilStatic winked, "Because it's her."

Thankful for the sanctuary Grey provides, but feeling disconcerted that she may have actually needed protection from something, Needleseye can't help but worry about her crewmates.
She knows too, that there is something ominous at work, not only dark as she once was, but evil too. Her old ways flood her mind, followed by a shudder at the memories accompanying.
She begins to wonder if she was, once, actually evil....

No, no.
just hungry.

"Evil spelled backward is "Live," and we all want to live, don't we?"

*Ebo sits on her pool table, no not 'hers' really. Nothing on this ship really belongs to anybody. Ebo doubts if its a real ship at all. Then a thought strikes her, what if this IS a real ship?*

Who's flying this thing?

*She glances up at the bridge. She needs to get up there. Maybe, just maybe, this was a real ship and maybe, just maybe, she could fly it.*

*A plan begins to formulate in Ebo's mind. She stands up on the pool table and makes an announcement.*

Guys! Guys hey! Its been a strange day, but everything seems to be back to normal, so I say we should celebrate with a party! Lissa, will you tend bar for me? Somebody turn on the plasma screen, we'll watch some firefly, we'll listen to some music, we haven't had a good party in a long, long while.

*She jumps down from the table and grabs Rat by the arm, steering him towards the bar.*

Come 'on, have a drink. Lissa, pour Rat a drink.

*Rat takes his drink and wanders away. Ebo pulls Lissa aside.*

I need a distraction, and a party was the best thing I could think of. Will you inform the ladies as they come to the bar? Try not to let any of them get too plastered. We might need to spring into action later, I'm not sure. Try to get the men drunk though. It might be best if they were a little incapacitated for a while.

TWG, I need to you come with me.

Four out of five gynecologists recommend calling Ebo a girl.

*twg eyes the men suspiciously…she notices Static is not among them. She feels uneasy, out of sorts. Conflicted about her safety and her need to see if he is here, she decides he will be in one of two locations: the bridge or the bunk. Having just come from the bridge, she heads towards the dorms. She opens the door and spies Static.*

I’ve been so worried. Something strange is going on here. Where have you…*She stops mid question. He looks hard. Not quite right. Like he’s wound and about to strike…*

EvilStatic: Well. . .I sure as hell haven't been getting bodyrubs and other affection from my beloved. That seems to have fallen to someone else

*TWG blinks as if slapped and opens her mouth to reply angrily, then bites back her words and stares at her feet red-faced. . .* Maybe if you’d been here, it would have been you.

EvilStatic scoffs, “Well…good to know that memories of men aren’t enough to sustain you for a moment or two when I can’t be by your side. Good to know that you honestly think I’d be away from you WILLINGLY. Good to finally know that you really don’t know me at all, huh?” *The anger in his voice, the edge of laughter behind his words are unfamiliar to her. She raises her eyes to his and what she sees is like a punch in the gut. Pain. Anger. The darkness that used to swim behind the blue eyes is now all she can see.*

Who are you?

Your beloved. Your sweetest. *sarcasm dripping off each word* Or rather…I was, apparently now I’m just the guy whose’ feelings have not changed one bit…come to get you out of a mess. I’m still useful for some things. *twg casts her eyes around the rooms for a second, hoping to find a means to protect herself, when he chuckles..* Nothing here, beloved…and you don’t need it anyhow. I am who I appear to be…or at least…a good portion of who I appear to be.

A good portion? I don’t understand. You’re my Static…a doppelganger?

*EvilStatic closes the distance between his beloved and himself. The scent of him causing a thousand memories to resurface. His voice drops to a whisper…*Close, beloved. Think of what you’ve seen and tell me what it means.

You are the dark side? *internally rolling her eyes at Star Wars* The side he tries to temper…hide from me. Why aren’t’ you whole? My Static? *ES touches twg on the tip of her nose* Bingo. All the ‘men’ you see are the dark natures of the men you knew. I don’t know what the plan I is yet, and I don’t know what may happen if what we know is discovered. So, you need to keep your mouth closed and your eyes open. Can you be a good girl and do that for me?

I’m no good girl, but I will certainly keep quiet. *A look of hurt and frustration flashes across ES’s face once more and his voice gets a bit tense…* No…you’re a good girl…you just made a bad decision or two. But now you need to understand a couple of things, okay?

*Doubt and trust war in her eyes.* Okay.

ES looks her in the eye, You know the horrible place that the man you know as Static had been before you first met him? *twg nods, she knows* I was born in that place. The difference between me and the other shades you’ve seen is that the other men try to suppress and deny the darkness within.

And he acknowledges it.

Your beloved NEEDED me to survive the place he was in…and needs me still to keep from going mad with despair from the memories of that place. That is our advantage. I’m going to try to find out what the plan is. No matter how good EvilSoul’s intentions might be, no good can come of this. Divided souls cannot survive for very long. Are you going to help me?

I want my man whole….what do I need to do?

Make certain that none of the other women off alone with any of the men. Find a way to keep everyone together. Do you understand? Oh and beloved…We both forgive you.

I…I need to find Lissa…make sure she didn’t wander off with Ath. And Ebo wanted to do something…Will you be here when I get back?

I don’t know. I

*continues to feel a tug in the back of his mind while working in the real world. The pull gets stronger and stronger. His lightsaber wiggles against his leg, pulling against it's clip on his belt. TGJ frowns. He turns to Needleseye and Jet.*

SereniTREE should have self-control of most of her systems. If there should arise an emergency, I have complete confidence in your ability to handle things. I am being...pulled...and I cannot resist the pull for much longer...

*fades out of one reality and appears in another. Looks around at the shades and the ladies. Squints.*

Curiouser and curiouser.
