BACKING UP A BIT:
TheRealMe is exhausted after sending GedunkRose back to her pirate ship through another of his dimensional portals. To recover his energy, he has returned to the dining hall with seconds (thirds?) from the fabulous feast of KellyofLuthien. He has just sat down at a table and is about to dig in, when…
**CRASH**
TheRealMe looks up, startled. Not far away is Serenity, who has just dropped a glass. Her eyes are wide, her wings are extended, and her face is pale, as if she had just seen a…
“OH! Hmmmm…”
TheRealMe pulls his com-link from his belt. “Hello? Doctor SimonWho? This is Me. I’d like you to come to the dining hall, please. Bring your med kit.”
“What seems to be the problem?” SimonWho asks over the link.
“Well, do you recall when Jazaf brought the body of SoulofSerenity back from the Arkham?”
“Of course.”
“And how you pronounced him dead on arrival?”
“Yes. Sad, that.”
“Well, the body seems to be showing signs of life.”
“That is quite unlikely, I assure you. What sort of signs?”
TheRealMe glances up to better relate the scene. “Uh, well, it seems to be walking around, talking to people. Hugging them.”
“I see.” A pause, while SimonWho scoffs and makes a notation in a report suggesting that TheRealMe has perhaps been working too hard, and might require some time off. Then he looks up at a monitor screen showing a commotion in the mess hall, where he…

Gah!
*newspaper scatters everywhere*
Soul! But? Soul!!
“Doctor? Did you say something?”
“I shall be there directly!”
Before TheRealMe puts away his com-link, he records a memo for himself: “In the future, always freeze bodies of dead crew; never cremate them.”
At that moment, Serenity faints dead away at the sight of a living, breathing, walking, talking SoulofSerenity.

Ath's blue eyes grow wide and he gives a slight nod. Kelly walks him over to the food and says,
"Oh, and I am called KellyofLuthien. Cormamin lindua ele lle." At a quizzical look from Ath, she translates: "My heart sings to see thee," and gives a small smile.
*Ath smiles back, and is about to speak when a voice comes over the comm:*
Attention all hands! Attention all hands! Soul of Serenity is awake. Repeat, Soul is awake. He just left the infirmary and it looked like he was heading towards the kitchen. Soul’s back!
*He gasps, then looks wildly around the room. He sees his sister, standing by the refridgerator, drop her glass and then pass out. He immediately runs over to her, but before he gets there he sees a dead man.*
Soul?
*He doesn't pass out, but it's a near thing.*

*N0S finally finds his way back to the common room after being lost*
"Hmm, I wonder where every--" Confusion washes over his face, He trys to form sentences but is unsuccessful
"You.... dead... wow... " and then finally "Huh."
*N0S stumbles over to Soul and shakes his hand*
"Welcome back mate. Shall be a strange news day tomorrow!"

A few minutes before...
*passes Soul in the hall to the infirmary*
Hey Soul.
*dramatic pause*
Wait. No that's just impossible. What am I saying? *mentally runs through a list of strange phenomenon experienced aboard SereniTREE*
*Grabs LMD and runs back down the hall toward the common room*
Come on. Looks like there's about to be another celebration.

Nell, looks around, wondering what all the fuss is about, sure, new guy, but the screaming and the fainting? what gives?
Nevermind. 'Ath? ATH!' She clicks her finger near his face, oooh, looks like this ones a fainter too. 'yeesh'
Nell very carefully unscrews the jar, placing it as close as she dare to Aths nose, he screaches, recoils and starts trying to climb the side of the fridge.
'Wha? What the hell is that!'
'horror in mud form sonny'
Placing the jar on the floor, Nell pulls out a blow up bath pillow and places it beween Serenity's head and the fridge door, then waves the jar near her nose.
Serenity's head jerks about, her arms and legs trying to carry her away from the terrible hideous smell, then she regains conciousness.
'don't try to sit up just yet sweetie, stay there.'
From her bag Nell then pulls a thermos of hot coffee laced with brandy 'have a small sip, you'll feel better' Screwing the lid tighly back on to the jar, Nell puts it back in the bag.
'aye, works every time, It the one thing gauranteed to get either your brain or your body working its very hardest to get you out of a dodgy situation, regardless of yours or anybody elses wishes *grins* I've seen dead people run screaming from this stuff.'
Suddenly, all the little clues add up and mix themselves with a healthy dollop of guess work.
she turns to SoulofSerenity -
'so why ain't you runnin' buster?'

*see's the shocked expressions of the crew that can hear her, realises all around are happy, hugging the recently-dead guy.*
'I take it you're one of the crew? Why are you not dead, sorry, forgive me, i'm rude I know, but more importantly i'm curious.'
'in my experience, dead people don't just spontaneously start their second chances, not without some majorly bad mojo helping or just waiting in the wings for its cue'
'I'm very pleased to meet you by the way, my names Nell.' She stands up and shakes his hand before someone else hugs him
'But you have to forgive me for being a bit wary when five minute ago you were all corpsified, and now you're stood here, making people swoon, and still a little sticky'

*Serenity sits slumped against the fridge, holding the mug Nell shoved in her hands. She is finding it hard to breathe."
Soul?
*She has to touch him, to feel that he is real. She tries to stand, but her knees give out and she slides back down the fridge.*
Soul?

Soul smiles.
"I'm honestly not quite sure myself. As far as I can figure, my soul-" he grins at using his namesake "-kinda got tied to this place, and these people are my family. I guess even when my body died, my soul just couldn't leave."
He shivers a bit, and someone places a jacket over his shoulders.
"Plus, I can't leave this ship without a Security Chief. God knows what Rat would have done!"
He laughs out loud, and it feels so good. Then he sees her, lying on the floor by the fridge, and he races over to her side.
"Serenity?"
She looks up at him slowly, a strange look on her face. Her eyes focus, and she slaps him hard.
Then she kisses him.
From the back of the room, Cozen sighs. "Do I have to die to get a kiss around here?"

I highly recommend not dying for kisses, much better to live for them. Although I'll restrain myself to a firm handshake if it's all the same to you Soul.
*shakes*
It's good to see you again. Being dead is so overrated anyway.
Bad mojo? Nonsense, that's just supersticious phooey.
