Soul wakes up groggy and grumpy, just as he does every morning. One would think that someone just returned from the dead would be happy that they could go to sleep and wake up the next morning; but not Soul.
Go figure.
After blindly finding a cup of coffee from the kitchen clad only in boxer shorts, he returns to Serenity's room and begins his daily regiment of exercises. He pulls on some jogging pants, but leaves off his shirt and proceeds to make several laps of the second floor balcony, stopping by the Security Office to find that his desk is still in relatively the same shape it was since he had last sat there. He makes a mental note to track down NOSkillz and ask him about joining the security detail. Serenity had spoken highly of him before. He makes several more laps and returns to the kitchen for a bottle of water, and then it is back to Serenity’s room and to the shower. Afterward, he dresses and arms himself with his bow and arrows, strapping his bandolier of arrowheads across his chest first. Then, with a deep breath he steps out of the room and makes an announcement to the SereniTREE:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Security Chief is back and ready for act—AARRRGGGHHH!!!”
Afterwards, while lying on his face on the deck, he makes a mental note to tie his shoes from now on.

Seryn adjusts the belt around her hip, clipping the quiver to it by the straps, then adding to the belt a small deep hammock style pouch, into which she places Archie, who immedietly turns himself to look studiously out of the litte window chewed in the leather for just that purpose. She goes to place Esme in the bag aswell, but seeing JH's puzzled expression, she hands Esme to him.
'they're trained... to attack'
JH looks up from Esme, who has rolled onto her back and is flicking her whiskers at the new potential source of food, and gives seryn a an incredulous look
'I got them on that island, remember the one where we marooned the Governor of Port... port something or other, you remember, it was for fun, but then he tried to swim back to the mainland and almost got eaten by the squid? Well there was a tribe on that island, these two belonged to the shaman guy, they're sensitive to all things 'other, and can topple a man and have his throat out quicker'n you can say 'aye, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide'.
Handy to have around, and so damn cute.
come on.
They make their way to the common room, Seryn looks around for TRM or the cat guy, or TWG, or anyone with the slightest bit of an authorative air.
Glancing accross the room, she spots Soul coming into the room..
Maybe...
Quote:

'Aaah, maybe not.'
'should we go pick him up?'
Seryn continues to look around for someone to warn, then just on the edge of her hearing she catches her old name, looking in its direction she spot someone she had very much doubted she would ever see again.
'It cant be.....'

Quote:*PR looks up at the announcement, then rolls his eyes, when Soul trips. PR runs up the stairs to the second floor balcony, and he stops just in front of Soul who is still face down on the floor and PR stands to attention and salutes Soul.*

TRM mentioned that you might be needing some new deputies. I'd like to apply!

"Well...I'm looking for someone with some experience. I mean, security experience."
Soul pauses and sees one of the new faces across the room. (What was her name...Nell? She looks different, though. Hmm...) He sees the bow strapped to her and he nods in appreciation at the quality.
He turns back to PR. "At any rate, shouldn't you ask your Mom first? I really don't want Weirdess to kill me because I give you a gun."

Will she stay in one place! Well I think I can do this now, everyone is down below and she is by her self.
*TheManinBlack steps out onto the balcony and pauses. Looking towards the massive nest and its creator, tMiB stands stunned at what one person can do in so little time.*
Ah, a nesting mother-to-be.
*tMiB grins, checks the photo one more time, and removes the cloak. Silently he comes up behind her and taps her shoulder.*
Excuse me...is your name CallMeSerenity?

I might be. Who are you, and what do you want?

And experience...? Well, not so much. But think about it for a second...I'm almost a security system in myself. I mean...whose gonna see trouble coming before I do? Who could warn you and everyone or anyone else about impending security threats without even opening his mouth of moving a muscle?
And why would I need a gun when I can do...that thing that I do?

*PR doesn't wait for Soul to answer.* I can sense trouble! Like the trouble I'm sensing right now...involving that creepy man that I've never seen of the tree before, who just snook up on Serenity up on the third floor.
*Blink.*

*feels PR blink*
I think we may be needed.
*she grabs the doc's hand and pulls him behind her* I'm not letting you spend all your time in here trying to figure out what's wrong with Soul. I still need a baby's daddy. And we have lots of new folks on the tree you should meet.
*as they round the corner they see a strange man tap CMS on the shoulder* I don't like the look of him, lets go...
SW: I’m a lover not a fighter.
*twg quirks her right eyebrow* Uh huh. Well, then call TRM...or call out her name and distract him. I'll do my confusion thing until PR gets help up here.
*twg sees CMS's nest and feel sorry for what she's about to do. she some how has her trusty hula hoop, huh, where'd that come from? She begins spinning it round her hips as she runs up to CMS and the man in black...*
Wow! That is so cool. What is this? *she reaches for the straw and gauze, hitting the man in black with the hula hoop and throwing him off balance. The straw falls into his face, the gauze tangles about twg and the man, trapping them within the hula hoop.*
Well, you’re new…who are ya?

"...turn right at the corner then skip two blocks...no, SKIP, the hopping-like thing kids do...Why? Why not?"

Look lady, don't freak out! This will only take a couple of minutes so don't get upset. You don't want to upset Serenity and hurt the baby do you?
*The Man in Black looks to CallMeSerenity to make sure everything is okay.*
Well lets get this over with, I swear once this is over my debt is paid to those two asses. Pullrd me off my ship to do this dirty work. It humiliating. I am feared and respected mind you. So please don't hold this against me.
*tMiB steps out of the hula hoop and reaches into his cloak, fumbling around in an inner pocket. Not finding the proper item, he starts patting down other pockets and pouches.*
A ha! Knew it was here somewhere!
*Out of a satchel comes...an accordion and the Man in Black scowls.*
Now, I am no Johnny Cash, but here goes. Also let me mention that I did not write all of this, those idiots wrote most of it.
Set to 'Camp Town Races'
Your new baby's almost here, So glad, so glad.
Time for all that baby loot- Oh doo-dah-day.
Sent to Serenity, a growing family-
A Happy Harmony From Us,
Congrats on the babe to be.
*Winces*
Taking flights to your nest- Relax, relax.
Daytime napping, that's so grand, Oh doo-dah-day.
Sent to Serenity, a growing family-

Ash and Xander!
*The Man in Black puts down the accordion and sighs.*
There my mission is done. Well Lady if you would be so kind as to pass the message along to Soul for me. I am free of my debt to Ash and Xander, so I wish to take my leave of this accursed ship. If you ever have the need of a respectable pirate, please don't hesitate to call upon me, the Dread Pirate Roberts. Is there anything else I can do for you my lady?
*CallMeSerenity looks to tMiB and shakes her head.*
CMS: Um, no. But please do not forget your accordion. It is giving me the creeps.
*tMiB smiles and puts the offending instrument away.*
As you wish.
*tMiB pulls his cloak around himself and just as suddenly as he arrived, disappears.*
