In Jazaf's Mind Garden
'Is that the best explaination you can give me?'
Jazaf stares at the Shadow before him, slightly perturbed that it is being more mysterious then he.
'Revealing all that I am to you wouldn't be wise at this point.'
'But I need to know more, like how you can project yourself into my mind like this.....Your not PR are you?'
'No.' it states then it fades out of existence.
Back in the waterpark
Jazaf slowly opens his eyes and drops out of the floating ball. He coughs twice to drain the liquid from his lungs.
'This can't be good' He mutters to himself when he can breath air again.
He heads back to his quarters and changes into some fresh clothes. He goes into the common room and notices Soul nurturing a plastic baby.
'Ah, you're getting ready for your kid, huh?'

Soul looks up at Jazaf as the Baby3000 squeals in his arms.
"You hold him for a minute," Soul says.
Jazaf shrugs and takes the doll in his arms, and it immediately stops wailing and looks up at him.
"You're not my Daddy," the Baby3000 says, and punches Jazaf in the nose.
Jazaf yells out in surprise and pain and drops the doll. The doll lands on the floor on its feet, runs over to the sofa, and hops back up into Soul's lap, where it promptly resumes crying.
Soul stares at the doll for a moment, and then open his mouth and yells.
"Serenity!"

*Serenity hears Soul yell and comes running into the room.*
What? What's wrong?
*Sees the baby crying*
What did you do?
*She glares at him and picks up the baby, which immediately stops crying and begins cooing happily.*
See? It's not so hard to take care of a baby. I don't know why you're making such a big deal about it.
*Sees Jazaf holding his bleeding nose.*
Jazaf? What happened to you? Were you and Duece sparring again?

*walks over and opens the bark of a tree pushing buttons until they light up. several picnic tables spring up from hidden grates in the floor*
We can even have food delivered up from the kitchen by the aut-0-feed system. Who's hungry?
Mai, Secretary of Unmentionables.

*KellyofLuthien perks up at the thought of food*
"Aiya! I'm hungry, mai! I think we still have leftovers from the feast I cooked the other day."
*Mai activates the aut-o-feed system and a spread of pizza, hot wings, sandwiches, fruits, veggies, french fries (or chips, we we Elves like to call them), popcorn, ice cream, chocolate pie, coconut cream pie, apple pie, key lime pie, soft drinks, wine and ale appear on the picnic tables along with plates, forks, knives, glasses and napkins for our culinary pleasure. Kelly sits down next to Mai and serves her a piece of pie.*
"Hmm, looks like the others are all distracted. Think we should remind them of the picnic?"
* Heaping their plates with food,Mai and Kelly look at each other and smile.*
"Nah!"

* does indeed recall the letter for Seryn from SR. He steps out of the warm shower and turns the water off. He goes over to his stuff and pulls the letter from a pocket, walks out the door and finds Seryn still by the zoo. He extends his hand with the letter in it.*
Here ya go. I nearly forgot in my hurry to find a room, well I mean I did forget, I just remembered. SR came by after being gone for a week, which I guess was somehow only a few hours for us. He wanted me to give this to you. I hope it's not overly important.
*sniff sniff*
Ah smells like a right fine meal has been prepared. You hungry? we could.....
*notices that Seryn has been desperately trying to stare at his head, only occassionly failing to keep eyes above his shoulders*
What is it?
*looks down*
Right, yep, should go back and get dressed first.
*turns and walks back to his room still dripping from the shower*

Boros; Companion House:
“Why do you need to know about Serenity? My little Wren's not in trouble is she?” Needy asks as worry flashes across his handsome features. Still quite young, his slight frame clothed immaculately without being too formal. And yet despite all this, he still managed to look slightly tousled.
“So then you do know her?” Jack asks, shifting uncomfortably on his cushion. The group are in the parlor of the local Companion house, all seated on lush red and gold oversized cushions.
“Yes, I got to know her quite well during her stay on Boros. We became close.”
Bride 7 snorts, “I’m sure you did, boy-whore, I’m sure you did.”
“No, no, no, clearly you misunderstand me. Not that I didn’t try mind you … but if that were the case, it wouldn’t be a subject open to discussion. I showed her around town and such. She didn’t know anybody and this can be a rough town as Mr. Citizen can attest.”
Citizen, startled out of his enjoyment of the biscuits and tea, looks up. “Hunh? Wha?”
Not waiting for Citizens input, Needy forges on, “Is Serenity in trouble? It’s not often Mr. Citizen brings company, let alone such an eclectic group as yourselves and I must say it has me more than a little worried.”
“As far as I know, she’s safe on a ship called the Sereni-Tree. It’s got a good crew that’ll keep her safe…” Safe is interrupted by Needy’s laugh.
“Serenity needs protecting?? That’s funny. Have you seen the Katanas she wears? She knows how to use them.” Needy says.
“How does an agriculturalist come to be familiar with the use of Katanas?” Safe says, clearly annoyed with the companions mirth at his expense.
“Agriculturalists work can take them to some backwater planets to help with terra-forming and such. A planet being terra-formed is not inhabited at first by the "cream of the crop" so to speak. The work often requires hard labour at low wages; hence hard, desperate men and women are the initial inhabitants. One learns quickly how to take care of oneself or they don’t last long. Lots of places for one to “disappear” on a planet being terra-formed.”
“On one trip, Serenity befriend a Chinese Lady, Elizabeth Chiang, a master by her own right, ousted by her family for killing a loutish husband. She taught Serenity the art of wielding the Katanas in exchange for her help recreating an authentic Chinese garden for her. But anyway, I digress… ” Needy looks expectantly at Safe.
Safe recounts his encounter with the scar faced man. Needy quietly shakes his head throughout the story. “The reason I’m askin’ is, he’s drawing a lot of… unwanted attention my way and I’m curious as to why.”
“Heinz, or Scar man as you refer to him, is the local muscle for the criminal element on Boros. That being said, he feels he is owed certain “comforts” because of his position. He near beat one of the girls to death because he felt she overcharged him.” Needy paused taking a drink of his tea.
“When my Wren arrived, it created quite a stir. She doesn’t exactly blend in. Heinz mistook her time with me as an indication that she was a novice in our house. He tried to force himself on her. She killed his two henchmen and gave him the scar for his troubles. He’s had it in for me and this House…”
Needy is interrupted by a voice over a loud speaker coming from outside…

*take's the envelope*
*Stares fixedly at JH's left eyebrow*
Chears, really? hmm, yeah, might be an idea...
*watches JH's arse walk back along the corridor*
*sigh* I understand exactly what his issues are. I just can't go there. Poor bastard, i feel like such a heel..
*looks at envelope* No, i'm not going to open it. I'm sick of being called angsty, I hate it, makes me feel like I should be eighteen and wearing too much black velour. I'm just not going to let it near me. I'll deal with this later.
*Tucks the letter into the back of her obi and goes off to get pie*

*makes it back to his room and towels off*
*finds a nice safe place to light some incense, turns on some quite music. Falls onto the bed and pulls a blanket over his body.*
Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.... I really don't know what I'm doing anymore.
*turns out the lights and sprawls out under the blanket*

*Ath walks up behind ItsAWash, who looks as though she's just woken from sleep, with a resume in hand.*
"Hi! CallMeAth. I don't believe we've met. I was a little busy playing Twister when you came in."
"Oh, hi! I'm ItsAWash, or just Washie. Nice to meet you. Are you here to apply for a job, too?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna try for Assistant Pilot. I have some experience. Had to learn on my planet. Seeing as all the women have wings, most menfolk learn to fly so we can visit them in their roosts."
"But...you have wings."
"These? Oh, I just got them.
"Anyway, I took it a step further and flew a transport ship for a few years. Once had to fly through an asteriod field to escape some space pirates, but that's a story for another time.
"So, what are you applying for?"
Washie tells him.
"Ship Counsellor, huh? We could sure use one."
*Ath and Washie talk for a little while longer, then both fall to looking at their watches and checking the door.*
"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"
