Is it that time already? I started our last new thread only a week ago! Oh, well, here it is: Thread 37!

For the complete “Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, see:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Here is a summary of the previous thread at:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=16740

Near the beginning of this thread is “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V4”.

The inhabitants of the Sereni-Tree gladly consume the dinner cooked by KellyofLuthien.

The lady pirate captain GedunkRose departs the Sereni-Tree and returns to her ship by means of a dimensional portal of TheRealMe.

ThatWeirdGirl and her ex-husband BlackJackRackham have a reunion and heart-to-heart talk.

The mysterious Phantom that has been floating around since our return from the ]Arkham turns out to be the Soul of SoulofSerenity. He re-inhabits his mostly-dead body (which had been carefully preserved in cryo-stasis) and rejoins us! He has a joyful reunion with Serenity, and is deeply moved by their upcoming baby. Others express their happiness at his return, including Jazaf, TheRealMe, Jake7, and PsychicRiver. After being examined by Doctor SimonWho (at the request of TheRealMe), he resumes his duties as Security Chief and starts looking for new deputies, which seem to include Noskillz and PsychicRiver. When asked by Kelly, TheRealMe relates the epic tale of the death of Soul during the “Madness of Arkham” adventure.

A drunken Cozen staggers by, claiming to be the grandfather of the baby, since, during his time as a star cluster thingie, he created Serenity (and for that matter, Needleseye) along with the yeti and spiders and everything else on the planets of Rukus and Black Diamond. This astounding revelation is promptly ignored, as Cozen passes out.

Monkeytail wakes up behind the bar. He is helped by Noskillz.

Ath gets up nerve to talk to Kelly. They seem to hit it off. For some reason, Ath’s wings have not dissolved like others got from the Sea of Wings.

In the Infirmary, SimonWho receives PsychicRiver as a patient. PsychicRiver is afraid that he might be pregnant! ThatWeirdGirl takes her son aside and they have “the talk”. Later, PsychicRiver rigs up an odd piñata full of condoms. Mai is disappointed at the lack of candy, but she (and others) avail themselves of the falling prizes, just in case they prove useful later. VoodooNell offers to teach PR how to shoot and do other piratey things.

After waking up naked with a hangover (after Soul’s wake) in the “This Land” park, Bride2 has a few adventures with the mysterious stranger Scorpion Regent on her way to the water park to find some clothes. It turns out that Scorpion Regent just wants to find his captain, VoodooNell, to ask her if she wants to take over the Sereni-Tree! Meanwhile, Jazaf goes looking for his missing student, and finds her.

VoodooNell is revealed to be the slightly-shapeshifted Seryn, who owns a pair of trained attack bunnies. She dreads revealing the truth to Rackham, but it turns out okay. When approached by Scorpion Regent, Seryn/Nell revealed that she was not really Nell after all, and was thinking of quitting the pirate life. Also, while taking the Sereni-Tree would be easy, keeping it would be difficult. Seryn is curious about, and wary of, Noskillz’s huge cat, Shadow.

BlackJackRackham is revealed to be Jadehand, who seems to be the same individual except for the lack of an eyepatch and of the ability to magically refill his bottle of rum. Seryn/Nell and BlackJackRackham/Jadehand make some “Hello my name is” stickers to wear.

Serenity begins building a nest on the upper balcony over the Common Room. The mysterious ManInBlack arrives, begins tracking her with magic, and finally confronts her. PsychicRiver senses the intruder and sounds an alarm. ThatWeirdGirl leads the rescue, armed with her trusty hula hoop, but manages to do little more than disrupt the building of the nest. Luckily, it turns out that Xander and Ash

*Strolls into the common room and up to the bar. Takes note of several people in interesting positions with no pants on playing with bananas, and finds himself more than just a little amused. He sits atop a stool and has a quiet drink.*

"He's seen too much of life And there's no going back.
The loneliness calls him, And the edge which must be sharpened,
He's losing it. And he knows.
But there's a fighter in his mind and his body's tough
The years have been unkind, but kind enough." -Ocean Cloud (Marbles) -Marillion

Ash and Xander walk in, spy Jadehand at the bar, and decide to join him.

"Cider please."

"Cheers"

On Boros:

Bride6 collects a few other choice items from Citizen's armory.

"So, what's the plan? We're going to need a ship or a shuttle to get out off this rock. And why did you guys come to Boros in the first place? Something about a lost friend?"

SR takes the cigarette and crushes it out in the palm of his hand.

well that was dramatic... you couldn't use the ashtray?

*nod at small saucer on bedside table*

Quote:

Did I ever mention I'm deathly allergic to cigarette smoke? I specifically locked the door for everyone else's protection. You are lucky I didn't kill you where you sit before my brain registered, it wouldn't be the first time. You break in here, completely disregarding the door knob sign and you gas me with your cancer stick. Well this proves it you're still a pirate. Go get rum and all will be forgiven.

*looks indignant* I would be a pretty poor pirate if I couldn't pick a lock, And I read that trick in a book once, i've been dying to try it out. I'll make a mental note, next time use the bog mud...

Though that doesn't always wake a person up, often the body thinks the quickest way to get away is just to chew through a wall and escape without the brain interfering...

Regardless, cut the crap, what is wrong?

You and me fight like cat and dog, Britney and Christina, I indulge and don't just dismiss you 'cause truth to tell I enjoy our little ruckuses, but its not appropriate here.
And as you are so fond of reminding me, I'm your Captain. So this is an order, you tell me what your nightmares are about, I help you resolve them ...I dunno, we'll go back in time and kidnapp Freud or something... You are happy, I am happy, we vow to fight a bare minimum of once a month.

Deal? Now spill...

Seryn:

Thank you TWG, I... but if people come after me the first thing i'm doing is leaving, i'm not letting innocent people get caught in the cross fire, its kind of you to offer but...

You're leaving? But you didn't teach me to shoot or use a bow and arrow yet!

*CMS finds Soul sitting in his Security Office.*

Hey you! I have some interesting news to tell you.
We received a singing telegram from Ash & Xander, congratulating us on the baby. It was delivered by the Dread Pirate Roberts. The best/worst part, is that TWG thought DPR was going to hurt me and attacked him with her hula hoop. Nearly destroyed the nest I had just finished building. But I fixed it, and it looks better than ever, I think.

Soul: Um..you built a nest?

CMS: Of course! Where else do you think I'm going to have the baby?

Wasn't that nice of Ash & Xander? We'll have to send them a thank you note.

BOROS:

"Ummm...Citizen, I don't have much left in the way of credits..."

Safe eyes a box of marble explosives.

"We used up a lot of ammo on Arkham, and could use to restock."

Quote:
"So, what's the plan? We're going to need a ship or a shuttle to get out off this rock. And why did you guys come to Boros in the first place? Something about a lost friend?"

"First things first" Safe says. "I don't like not knowing the motives of my hunters. Lets find this Needy fellow. Maybe he can clear things up."

Safe presents his pile of supplies to Citizen, a box of clips for 9mm handgun, 2 boxes of bullets for his Colt Peacemaker, a box of marble explosives and the remote for them and a sniper rifle with high powered scope and ammo.

"Still don't know how you laid hands on all this, but I'm mighty appreciative of it. What do I owe you?"

"Jack, stop playin' Romeo and get a move on! No way of knowin' how long 'til the Alliance finds that trapdoor and I don't want to be trapped down here when they do."

Bride6 gives Jack a quick kiss and whispers "Later." Then she urges him back toward Safe.

Bride6 blinks. "Ooooh! Is that a rocket launcher?"
