Jack breaks the silence. "Safe, we've been down here too long, it's starting to actually smell good."
Citizen smiles at him, "No, it's because we're here." He reaches up and grabs a rope hidden amongst the pipes and pulls. A stairway folds down from the roof.
Citizen climbs up and pushes up a doorway into a room above. The smell of food washes down.
The rest follow Citizen up the stairs. They find themselves in what appears to be the storeroom of a restaurant. Citizen is greeting two women.
He turns to the others. "I'd like you to meet Flechette, chef and owner of this fine establishment. And Amy, owner of the finest clothes shop this side of Persephone."
"Flechette, we'll need to borrow your backroom. Amy, I may need to trouble you for some umm, suitable, attire for my... acquaintances."
On Boros:
Bride6 follows Citizen, Safe, Jack, and Bride7 out of the tunnels, lugging the weapons up into the back room of Flechette’s restaurant.
Bride6 inhales deeply. “Mmmmmm…. That smells good! When’s lunch? And this Amy friend of yours has a clothing shop? Does that mean we can go… SHOPPING?”
Bride7 rolls her eyes.

*Aw, we’re sorry TRM. I’m sure what you wrote was brilliant and exciting stuff. 
*
*twg hugs Rosie and waves to Nell* It’s good to see you too. Tis some of my crew. We’re a strange lot, love each other to pieces, but we hold fast and don’t let no one hurt any of or own. Actually, our Cap’n is safe onboard our ship. I knows you can’t see any t’other ship, but believe me whens I tell ye it’s near enough
*twg watches Mai and Jake7 make for the exit*
In fact, some folks are ready to go home now. I’d love to stay an’celebrate a bit wit ya. *takes a swig of the proffered rum* A lot that’s happened in me life. I, I, well, that tall resourceful man up thar in the crow’s nest? He’s mine. My boy. It’s complicated, but it’s true. The leader of this rescue is TheRealMe, our First Officer. He be a brave and mighty man. He would have gotten his crew home with nary a scratch even if I had not arrived. *passes some rum to TRM* I think I’m gonna celebrate with my past for a bit. If’n you alls want to go back ye can. I think I know my way home from ‘ere.
*most of the crew begins passing the rum. she walks up to Black Jack and kinda smiles at him* Hi. *she catches the drunkard off guard when she throws her arms about his neck and hugs him* I know it’s been a many years, but I’m glad I seen you again.
*she steps back, rights her scabbard and straightens her shirt* Ye can come back with us. We’re always getting ourselves in trouble with someone or something. We could use the skills I know ye te ‘ave. *she fiddles with her sleeves* It’s been a long time.

* TheRealMe takes a swig of rum as it is passed around. He visibly struggles to not wince, as this stuff is no doubt stronger than anything he's used to! *
Ah! Smooth!
Indeed, Anne, you may stay with your friends and family a time, or else they may visit us. I will leave the portal open a while. But for now, I want to try these babies out!
*TheRealMe hands back the rum, flaps his four wings, and rises into the air. *
Huh! That guy IS riding a flying banana!
(P.S. Just kidding about my lost post. Actually, that sort of thing happens all the time!)

* TheRealMe flies around for a bit with his new wings, but then realizes that he has completely forgotten his manners. He lands next to KellyofLuthien, folds his wings, and bows. *
Forgive me, Lady, but in the heat of conflict, I forgot to make proper…
* TheRealMe takes a closer look at this woman. She is beautiful, but more than that. In her every movement is an inhuman, fluid grace. In her youthful eyes he finds a certain ancient, ageless quality that he recognizes. Also, the Ring on her finger is of a workmanship that he has seen before. He bows again, more deeply. *
My poor eyes can now discern that you are a lady of the Eldar race. Elen sila lumenn omentielvo! I am called TheRealMe. Elda, you are welcome to join us aboard our ship. It is the Sereni-Tree. It may be found through that portal. Not unlike Vingilot, it is a ship that travels among the stars.

Suddenly the ship shudders, knocking everyone about.
Through the air swings a vision in red, hair streaming in the wind, shiny weapons hanging from her hips, she lands on the deck with the grace of a cat. Letting go of the rope and without pause she raises a sawn-off to point at the tree people. Another gun, broad barrelled and just as evil looking points to the rent in the air above the ship.
"No. Body. Move."
"Rose? I thought we had words about the farming privelidges in this hear pond...? You gonna go back on a deal?"
She turns, alerted by the whirring sounds above her. What in the big blue wet thing are they?
Nevermind.
"boys! deal with that"
gunshots ring out, the air fills with the scent of banana.
"Now, this is an interesting situation. Lots of little people who shouldn't be here, and a guy on a banana. Well, it has been quiet, and rather too, ah... sane round here.
But the most interesting thing of all, is we appeared to be having a vote..."
Saunters over to where Ath is preparing to escape through the portal.
"well, this is no democracy. I've a feeling i'd like to see how that little 'distraction' might go....." with out pause she points her gun at KOL's head
"strip"
Ath looks at her, realises she's serious, looks for a way out, but see's the scared look on KOL's face.
Slowly he starts unbuttoning his shirt...
"Nah! Only kiddin' love! - I just love dramatic entrances" Nell giggles and pats him on the ass with the gun.
*aside to Rose (who visibly relaxes) "though someother day I might just not be joking about him getting nekkid, mm mmmmm..."
Turns to TWG, a look of pure delight on her face
"ANNIE!"
Nell throws her arms up and engulfs her in a big bear hug, swinging her round the deck.
"my god, how long? Wow you look good, a little damp, but good!"
You're all going now? Cool, I fancy a holiday, I'll come with you!
Grabs a bag from the deck where it landed just after she did.
First mate is lookin' after the old girl, I'm as free as a bird.
*aside -besides, someones got to mediate when Rackham's liver divorces him...

*KellyofLuthien bows her head slightly as a warm smile graces her face*
"Mai govannen, TheRealMe! I did not expect to find one here who knew of my race. A light does shine upon the hour of our meeting. Thank you, and your crew, for all your help. I would be delighted to--"
*KOL suddenly breaks off as she feels the cold hardness of a gun barrel at her temple. Her eyes dart to a beautiful lady in red, paying no attention to KOL as she makes demands for Ath, her hero, to strip. Ath looks around frantically, finally meeting eyes with Kelly. Her eyes beseech him to do as the red lady says. Slowly, Ath begins unbuttoning his shirt, when the red lady laughs and says:
"Nah! Only kiddin' love! - I just love dramatic entrances" and then says as an aside to another crew member, "...though someother day I might just not be joking about him getting nekkid, mm mmmmm..."
*Ath gives a great sigh of relief, but Kelly becomes even more tense. She realizes she'd rather Ath not get naked...unless, of course, it were in a private room with her alone. She shoots a glare at the red lady before turning back to TheRealMe.*
"Thank you for your hospitality. I would be delighted to board the Sereni-Tree. Your crew may find that I can be of some....use...to them."
*KellyofLuthien turns her head at those words and gives a coy smile to Ath before turning back to TheRealMe and inclining her head once more.*

*with the sound of his laughter pealing through the air, elemdee comes crashing down through the air, hits the deck, and bowls into Mai, toppling her over him.*
/me helps right Mai, sits up while looking around at everyone, and shrugs
It's ok, everybody! I'm just drunk!

Are we going soon? just going to say my goodbyes to Rose and the lads.
*strolls over to Rose*
Bye my dear, listen, do me a favour? If my first mate gets too cocky, shoot 'im. Cabin boys a good'un though, keep him safe for me. I'll keep visitin, make sure things are tickin over, but look after your self! Don't trade with that little maggot in that last bay, odious little man, we could have got so much more for that school bus, and I dread to think how much those ipods are going for...
But anyway, bye. Can I hug ya in public?
*goes to side of ship and hauls up a bucket 'i'm gonna need wings for a wee while' *drinks and grimaces as large crystalline butterfly wings begin to grow, carefully she pours the rest of the bucket in to a large wine skin, and puts it in her bag*
Well, I'm ready, everybody should be. *grin*
