Shadowfax obliges and soon they are a blur of speed, rustling fallen leaves in their wake.
OOC: I love this line. Don't know why. I just do.

(also OOC : it is a very nice line.)
Seryn checks the cloud position, then opens a link to TRM.
'Ok, we're just about there, oh yeah, I can see you now, open the hanger bay door and fire her up, get ready to get off this rock.'
in front of her the bay door opens and she guides the Cloud towards them, flys in and turns the cloud to face the way they came before landing. Once the doors are shut and the Clouds systems closed down she opens the main hatch, grabs the dolly with the shipment and leads it out.
'LMD? Mai? can you help me check this over? just make sure its alright then we can go celebrate.'

On Boros:

Safe climbs the ladder and lifts the hatch until it bumps on the bin above it. It opens all of two inches only allowing for a look. Not even enough room to properly aim a gun. Safe puts his back against the hatch and slowly pushes up. The bin moves a little and then safe eases back down. He can lift it, barely, but he won’t be able the shoot at the same time and there was no room to get Jack up there beside him. If only Jack were a little thinner…
Safe scans those below him. Citizen wasn’t that much smaller than Jack, Bride7 he didn’t trust plus he hadn’t seen her fire a gun yet. Stan was out, the explosives were too bulky and Safe didn’t want to take a chance of them going off because he bumped them. Bride6! “Bobby Sue!” Safe hisses. “Come up here, I have an idea.”
When Safe calls her name, Bride6 comes immediately. Soon she realizes what he wants of her. Her face reddens and she crosses her arms. “Well, I just don’t know, Mister Safe. That’s a dreadfully tight space to squeeze through, and you can see that I’m a bit top-heavy, and…”
Bride7 laughs. “She means that her ass is too big to fit!”
Bride6 blushes even more, and turns to her companion, waving her finger in Bride7’s face. “No, no, no! You have no cause to be like that! So mean and nasty! So mean and nasty all the time!”
“Really?” Bride7 smiles, and raises an eyebrow at Bride6’s finger.
Bride6 pauses for only a moment. “THAT is why TheRealMe likes Bride4 so much better than you! You are mean and nasty and do nothing but sit around and complain all the time and hurt people’s feelings. But Jet is kind and smart and helps people and solves problems!”
Bride7 becomes as still as stone, and is no longer smiling.
“You came aboard as the seventh Bride, but that’s not why you’ll always be LAST! Huh!”
Bride6 composes herself, and turns back to Safe, new determination in her voice. “Tell me what you need me to do, Safe! I’ll do it!”
Bobby Sue, Bride6

*Luckily, Ath intercepts the message, as TRM is "busy" with Washie. He opens the hatch, grateful for the distraction. Once the shuttle is secure in the hanger bay, he takes the Tree out of orbit.*
"Welcome back guys! I hope the caper went well?"
*Ath then keys his comm to TRM's frequency.*
"Hey TRM. The Cloud just got back and everything seems fine, so I'm setting off for Boros."
"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"

Gallantly, TheManInBlack takes Quincey’s hand and kisses it.
She smiles, her dark eyes staring up into his blue ones. “My name is Quincey,” she whispers.
theManinBlack releases Quincey's hand, "Well hello Quincey. Maybe I can ask you a quick question. Do you see that lady talking over there? What is her name? She seems so fami... never mind. Business comes before pleasure and I do have some business to discuss with that gentleman over there. So if you would please excuse me miss."
Bowing, Roberts steps from Quincey and moves across the room towards Jadehand.
Quincey pauses, confused, a pleasant smile still plastered on her face.
He blew her off! TheManInBlack just politely brushed by her!
Inconceivable!
THAT had never happened before, not when she had been prepared! Perhaps if she was wearing her slinky red dress rather than this unflattering flight suit. Yes that was it! He was a hard one, this pirate captain! She must deploy the red dress! And she will!
Still smiling, Quincey turns to watch the back of TheManInBlack as he was speaking to Jadehand.
Quincey, Bride5

"Yeah and do it quick. Did I mention that we have movement back here? Our back door is closing behind us. "
SR shoots a dirty look at Bride7.

“Huh?!” Ath's words cause TheRealMe to wake from sleep, startled, disoriented, dragged away from his dream. He ponders on how his mind could possibly craft that wonderful, blissful dream that he had just experienced! Why, he hadn’t felt like that, since… oh, since…
Washie stirs nearby. What’s SHE doing here? TheRealMe looks around. Uh, oh! These are her quarters. So it wasn’t a dream… So what in the world…
Then TheRealMe remembered Washie’s words:
Quote:
"Pressure points, yeah. Among the things I picked up in Guild training. Has to do with the major and minor chakras. Are you familiar with how they work? 'Cause, if work slows down a bit around here, I could school you a bit, maybe at the same time we're re-stocking that kissie supply."
‘Chakra tuning,’ or whatever she had called it… was truly amazing! But how had he ended up here? It was quite unlike him, to so quickly…
Right! It was the arrow. The love arrow that Soul shot him with. It had messed with their minds, causing… uhhh… well…
But wait! Washie hadn’t been hit with any arrow. Hmmmm… That meant that either she really liked him, or else she was one hell of an accommodating Ship’s Counselor!
TheRealMe decides that he needs to either reward Soul or toss him into the brig! He’ll decide after he has something to eat.
Softly, he begins, “Washie? Are you hungry? Should I fix us some breakfast?” As he speaks, he gets up and turns to head toward the kitchen.
Someone is there!
“You can’t stamp it out completely. Evil returns. Always returns.” The young woman turns her face up from the shadows to stare directly into TheRealMe’s eyes. “Sometimes, it comes back even stronger!”
TheRealMe squints without his glasses. “Riverclone? No, it can’t be! You… You’re…”
“‘The vorpal blade went snicker-snack. He left it dead, and with its… head…’” Riverclone becomes a little distressed. “He left it dead! Took its gorram head away as a trophy! He didn’t even TRY to talk to it!” Her expression turns more serious. “After all, it might have had something to say! It might have had a reason. A reason to burninate the countryside!” There are tears in her eyes.
“Riverclone, I’m sorry! If I had been there when it happened, I would have stopped him! I swear! Somehow, I would have found a way!”
“To save me? Get me out? Alive?” Riverclone brushes the tears away, then she gets distracted by the sight of her own hand. Her voice becomes a whisper. “Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.” Then, she focuses on TheRealMe, speaking gravely. “No, it was the right decision. Would have been dust anyway, by now.”
And suddenly, she is gone!
TheRealMe sits down in a chair. He brushes away his own tears.

After he found something new to eat Jazaf was almost immediately rushed out of the kitchen.
'Shoo. Run along now. There's cleaning to be done' Sparky said.
Jazaf shrugs and walks through the Common Room finishing his small snack. He heads to the water park and begins to go through his Daily Training.
During training his mind begins to wander, he shuts out the outside world and ponders on recent events.
