Continuing Deuce's adventures from earlier in the day:

SR: Who am I? The short form: Name, Scorpion Regent. I am quartermaster with Voodoo Nell, but that's just one of my day jobs. How did I get here? I'm not completely certain. I took part in a tribal ritual involving the ingestion of some powerful sacrements a ways back and they have some side effects that still manifest occasionally. What do I want? It's been a long time since anyone asked me that. For the moment I would be well served by a chance to clean up, a bite to eat and a chance to get some sleep.

The stranger turns his head such that he now is looking Duece straight in the eye. His eyes reveal a soul that has traveled, fought and searched for centuries. These eyes have seen birth and death, triumph and despair. They are eyes of wisdom and yet they have no arrogance. They are sharp and then they focus out for a moment, they blink in a rapid complex sequence. Duece feels slightly light headed and then stranger turns his gaze away.

SR: Yet I suspect that is far too much to ask for in trade for the use of a poncho, so if can show me to Nell's ship I will be out of your way.

Scorpion Regent

“Hmmmph! Never heard of you. Or this Nell character.”

Deuce realized that, even though he talked funny, she thought Scorpion Regent was kind of cute in a scruffy sort of way, and gentlemanly considering the circumstances. She bent down to pick up her scabbards, and sheathed her katanas.

“But, I know that folks drop in here all the time, just like me and my six friends did way back when. I guess I could take you to talk to somebody. The Real Him is a good choice. He knows most stuff that goes on here. And I'm sure we can get you fresh clothes and a place to sleep. But just now I have to get to the water park to get some clothes before someone sees me like this. Uh. I mean, someone else.”

Of course! Why is there some other way to play the game?

Do you even have to ask?

SR: You've nothing to ashamed of. (pause) Well, suit yourself, no pun intended. As for that career choice, you're the artist, the medium would be your call, not mine. I can wash what I've got, I even have a change in that bag there.

SR inclines his head indicating a canvas duffel bag at his feet.

SR: Maybe the water park isn't necessary.

SR hunkers down, undoes the intricate knot holding the bag closed and begins rummaging around in it. He produces a pair of baggy pair of cotton draw string pants and a Japanese hapi coat.

SR: That's more the ticket. I offered the poncho because it was closer at hand.

*reaches into a pounch on his hip, and withdraws a Blue Sharpie and a pad of stickers....there's a slight gleam to them as he places them atop FUNHOUSE. The Pad reads..."HELLO, My name is....." He quickly writes out "JadeHand" on one and "Seryn" on another. He places the Sharpie and the pad back into his pouch and closes it. He peals the back off and Sticks the "JadeHand" sticker above his heart, and hands the "Seryn" sticker to Seryn*

Citizen stepped through the entrance and let the group fan in behind him.
“Welcome,” he said as Bride7 began to have what can only be described as a religious experience. “to my Armoury.”

His reverie cut short by Jack shouldering past, Safe struggles to put aside his guilt at putting yet more innocent lives at risk. Looking over his shoulder back the way they came, he finds himself worried for the well being of the two women. Snap out of it man! Focus!

Safe takes in the retinal scanner and heavy door. He raises an eyebrow, “Is there any point in my asking how you came to lay your hands on such high-tech Alliance hardware? Not that I‘m complainin’ mind you…” Safe says, seeing Citizen in a new light.

“Oh. Uh, thanks.” Deuce tool the clothes offered by Scorpion Regent. They don’t really fit, but they are better than nothing. Or even a poncho.

“But I still want to get my own stuff.”

Deuce led Scorpion Regent along some corridors, through a hatch, and down a couple ladders.

“This is the water park. Lots of cool stuff to play around on. Anyway, those are the men’s showers and locker room, and here are the women’s. We can both get a shower and change of clothes. There’s also a washing machine and dryer in there.”

Deuce returned the clothes that she borrowed, and both headed to the showers. Deuce was the first to finish, and put on some sweats she had in her locker. While waiting for Scorpion Regent, she took the opportunity to practice a few blade techniques on the water park deck.

'There you are. I've been looking for you Deuce.'
Deuce looks up from her training, sweat beading her forehead, and manages a smile.

'Hiya, Sensei!'

'Just thought you should know, Soul is alive again. It got everyone in all manner of hysterics.'
He watches Deuce resume her training and notes that she has improved very well.

'Here, instead of training out here jump into the pool and use the water's resistance to help get a more effective training session.'

Deuce smiled. "Soul is back? That's great news, Sensei. And good advice about the water. I'll take a dip and a quick shower, then I'll join you all."

As Jazaf left her in the water park, Deuce slumped down to the deck, exhausted. She had gotten there just in time.

Moments later, Scorpion Regent joined her. He had apparently noticed Jazaf. To Scorpion Regent’s questioning gaze, Deuce said, “That was my Sensei, Jazaf. A master with the blade. Uh, I really didn’t want to introduce you to him just now because that would have brought up other questions, like where and how we met. And to tell you the truth, I’m really not sure what I’ve been doing over the last day or so.”

And now Deuce is caught up to the present!

*KellyofLuthien wanders around the ship until she finds her way back to the infirmary. She grabs a set of scrubs and wanders some more until she finds the showers. After taking a nice, long shower, she changes into the scrub top and pants. She pads her way back to the common room just in time to hear:

SR Takes all this in with little more than a shrug, though clearly he seems to have something on his mind.

Duece: "What?"

SR: "I am a stranger here, it is not my place to speak and my opinion is worth less than twenty year old gossip."

Duece looks SR in the eye. He words are true though he still hasn't told her what's on his mind. She wonders should she press him on the issue and then she realizes she is looking into his eyes again. She feel a sense of dizzyness as if she were balanced on a great hieght looking down. Duece feels suddenly breathless and she realizes it's because she is holding her breath.

Duece: "I'm sorry what was that?"

SR: "I was saying, I took the liberty of securing most of my affects in a locker."

SR is now dressed in in simple pants and short sleeved tunic. His heavy combat boots are replaced with leather sandals. The big hat is gone and in it's place is a light blue cap similar to a beret. The sword and pistol with their heavy cross belts are likewise missing. SR's only apparent weapon is a dagger on his belt, though there are several pouches there as well and he does have a have a bag hanging from his shoulder. His hands are heavy with rings and a chain of greyish metal hangs around his neck. His ears have heavy gold rings that are revealed now that his hair now hangs in a heavy braid down his back.
