“Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that we take your little assignment. What makes you think we need either the money or your help, Mr….I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name.”

Citizen stares at the two strangers before him.
Damn outlanders, think they know it all.

Heh, 'tourists', he thought. He caught the eye of one of the heavily armed Monkeys, indicating that things could turn sour. The Monkey stared back at him, before dropping it's gun and starting to groom it self.

As if saved by the bell a huge explosion shakes the warehouse, causing dust and debris to rain down on them from the ceiling.

"Gorramit!" Citizen say's jumping to his feet. "Must be Tuesday." He starts off to the opposite corner of the warehouse.

Kicking an Irate Monkey out of the way he hauls a trapdoor up. Citizen glances back at the two men, now standing with weapons drawn.

"I wouldn't shoot 'em; you'll just make 'em mad." Citizen starts guiding some of the Monkey's down the hole, before starting to follow them down the steps. "You coming or what?"



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
Remember, the ice caps aren't melting, the water is being liberated.

*Serenity was drinking a rootbeer, when SW handed her a small glass of whisky, with the intention of cheering her up a bit.*

*PR walked over and took the drink from CMS.* You'll spoil the surprise.

*SW looked from PR, to CMS, a look of confusion plastered on his face. PR spoke to SimonWho.* And don't look under the tree. It's greedy. *CMS and SW stared at PR.* It's not in the spirit of the holidays.

*Bedazzled looks.*

*PR walks off, lifting the glass to his mouth for a drink.*

*Just then, TWG took the drink out of his hand. saying;* "Nuh-uh." *PR's smile dropped.* Shoot.

*Then he went over to look at the tree.*

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"
"I swallowed a bug."

*simonwho grins at PR's "Aw, mum!" expression*

Sorry, dear boy, but good mothers protect their children from the perils of alcohol.

I know you understand.

*finishes own whisky*

Besides, we wouldn't want to make fools of ourselves on the dance floor, would we?

Well, it has been a while... *Rememers squared* And I think I'll leave it that way.

*PR starts to circle the new christmas tree. He takes off a ball-ball, and another piece of hanging dec, followed by tearing off a strip of tinsel.*

The ropes? Where are the ropes!

*turns to SW*

Is it just me, or is PR acting a bit crazier than usual? Does he always get like this around the holidays?

So what was that you said about dancing?

Actually, Serenity, the time you have been among us has coincided with an amazingly long period of lucidity for PsychicRiver. He's probably just having flashbacks from last year when he was tied to a stake for Christmas, covered with tinsel, and was forgotten about until after the New Year.

Oh, PsychicRiver! Look! I have knitting needles!

* TheRealMe waves the needles where PR can see them. *

And YARN!

Well, Serenity, we lacked a tree, and PsychicRiver was an adequate subsitute. He was tied to a stake, covered with tinsel, and had a star glued to the top of his head.

I was not present then. Although I understand that copious quantities of alcohol were!

That time also saw the crafting of a life-like Effigy of Ebo, since our Captain was absent and sorely missed. It filled in nicely for her. I understand that most of the crew danced with it, not knowing the difference.

It was that very statue that I later magically animated to create the Ebo Golem to replace my destroyed robot Sparky.

Ah, the memories!

*PR stands up straight and takes the needles from TRM.* Calm down, calm down, guv'nor.

*Sits*

*Knits*

The tree settles down and the legs stretch out onto the floor to support it.



**jake7 watches in fascinated rapture as the tree unfurls itself. She claps her hands in unrestricted glee once it has positioned itself and the needles fall to the ground.**

How pretty!! I *LOVE* aluminum trees! I had one when I was growing up and it was so pretty when the color wheel would shine all it's colors on it...

**she looks around expectantly**

We do have a color wheel, don't we?
