*she stops in her chocotracks and turns to Needy*
You can come with me, I'm going to my room. I'll show you a few things on the way. This way.
*they walk in silence a bit...she's oblivious to his trauma and he to hers*
Did I hear ya say amnesia? I had that after my second death. I didn't remember almost nine months of my life. They were just gone. I still only remember bits and pieces. This is my place. My new place, I lived with someone during those nine months...now I live with my son.
*she opens the door to her and her son's quarters and begins to strip off her clothes and throw them down the chute. She walks into the shower and continues to talking to Needy*
My son from the future...he's run away. Er, sorry about the nudity, but I'm sure you've seen more nekkid females than the doctor has...the doctor. So, what would you like to see first? I'm heading back to the jacuzzi since that's where most of the shipboard crew is, but we can go anywhere.
OCC: the site can't keep track of who I am...it keeps randoming logging me in as one of my three mes.

What?! Needy thinks to himself. Did she just say.... she died? Twice? He was expecting small talk. He had no idea what had happened to him was standard.

Needy's jaw drops though, he hopes, not too obviously.
True it wasn't the first time he had seen a naked woman, but nevertheless it came as quite a surprise. He couldn't work out if this was her way of coming onto him

"And I thought I had problems!" he thinks to himself

Needy nods as he tries to force his eyes to look eleswhere
Don't stare. Don't stare... ooh interesting tattoo... interesting place to have it too he mentally shakes his head Don't stare, don't stare

So, what would you like to see first?
Needy gulps

"Oh right... what part of the ship would I like to see first? I thought you meant which part of yo... I mean... er" he stutters as she gives him a strange look.
He waves his hands around in an attempt to gesture an answer. "I..."
"I thought companions were supposed to be cool and smooth" she replies
As the words glide off of her tongue, he can't help but think about the smoothness of her and her skin.
He goes into a daze.
"Hey!" she calls out impatiently.
"Sorry... head trauma" he blurts out.
"Yeah, it better be"
"Jacuzzi's fine. We should do that... I mean not that I'm saying we should... you know... in the jacuzzi."
She glares at him.
"You're going to kill me, aren't you?"
Her glare turns to her laugh as she witnesses his worried face.
Inside he can't help but wonder "What the hell is wrong with me?"

OCC: Hahahahaaaa! Ha! Teeheehe. ooo, boy. That was funny. And why do you keep hanging around when I take a shower?
'It's okay, I won't kill ya...it was my fault. My mind was else where and I forgot you're just like any other man. Sorry. I won't make that mistake again. Shall we see the water park before the jacuzzi?'
*she notices he's looking at her...*
'No one knows I have that. I'd appreciate it if you kept it under your hat. I have a feeling it might freak out the Doc even more. You know, sometimes I think he's all hot and then he just gets cold...I can't make him out.'
*twg shows him around the water park...the slide...the pool of that breathy stuff from abyss*
'I don't mean to be nosy...but well, I do. Do you really think it was amnesia?'
'Well...maybe. It's just I don't remember ever being here. And for that matter, I don't remember not being where I had been.'
'Well...there are a few folks here that have had 'evil twins' show up on occasion...but I wouldn't know about that as it happened during my lost time. Plus, with all the space folding, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe it was you from somewhere/time else. The Doctor might know about that sort of thing. You should talk to him.'
*he nods his head*
'So you're after the Doctor?'
'Heh, yeah. It's complicated. He's my son's father...or he will be someday. I know he eventually will like me, but I don't know when. Should I wait a month or five years? A girl can get mighty frustrated in five years...may start getting antsy.'
'If you ever need some help with the frustration...'
*she laughs* I'll keep that in mind. Course, my ex-husband...not the man I lived with during my lost time...is on our boat too. He's kinda protective of me...don't let him see you looking at me like you know what I look like. 
'Your ex-husband?' wow. this girl's a one person soap opera!
*they finally come upon the jacuzzi and it's neighbor, the chococuzzi* 'Well, here we are. Everyone, make room for Needy.'

Shadow frantically looked around from on top of her horse. Then hopped down quickly almost twisting her ankle as she stumbled during the landing, Safe caught her, holding on as she began to struggle to look around frantically. Slipping out of Safe’s grasp she started to run frantically, yelling for Ghost, only to be stopped as Safe managed to grabbed her arm, effectively stopping her as she continued screaming.
“MEI MEI!, This isn’t funny Ghost! Where are you?”

{edit: backing up just a wee bit....}
*Anticipating the obvious, vis, that he’s gonna be discovered hiding in TWG’s shower, cozen boldly steps out and greets the lady and the newcomer. Along the way, he carefully folds the gown alumina and places it in a handy dresser drawer. He wipes a couple of his fingers along TWG’s cheek and sets to licking the vodka flavoured chocolatey goop, noting a savoury hint of perspiration.*
Guess y’all won’t actually believe I was looking for PR’s knitting needles, but it does have a certain plausiblility, eh?
Pleased to meet ya, Needy, right? *Shakes Needy’s hand.* I’m cozen. My job on this Treeship is, is… ah, well I don’t really have one! Guess I just get into things. Sometimes I shoots, but even then most often I misses. So, good to meet ya in the flesh and all that. Heard rumours, I have. Yep. Interesting history you have there; sounds like the life of a true bon vivant. Maybe soon we can split a bottle of single malt to help loosen some of the details from yer brainpan.
Until then though, well, I notice I’ve successfully managed to babble my way to the exit. See, I’m in a bit of a hurry to find something in black to go shopping with, and I’m afraid the choccy lady’s selections ride either too low or too high.
So, listen: big deaths not allowed, all right? Little deaths, however, are encouraged.
Toodleloo!*

SR cut's connection and continues his hotwiring of the Nelson.
He then decides to keep JH in the loop and calls him up on comm-link, "Jade me and the boys are tired of being treated like doorstops so we have scheduled a return trip to pick up the ladies later and we are on our way to you, just about,... now."
The final connection is made and the shuttles engines come to life and the Nelson lifts off.
*Jadehand's jaw hits the floor, he scrambles for his com link*
"SR, to quote a favourite old movie of mine, 'YOU MUST CHILL, YOU MUST CHILL!' if you touch the Nelson, harm it in any way, someone is going to be very angry with ME!, guess who that will make me angry with. Go ahead...Guess. Right, that'd be you. Relax, If you are that eager to depart, I will come and get you. Maybe you aren't worried about me being angry with you. That's ok, you don't have to be. But!!!!, If you do what you are thinking on, you'll have far worse than me to worry on. Hell, I'd only blow you out of the god damn airlock without a spacesuit, you do that, you have Seryn and Serenity and Mai and Soul and gods know who else fairly annoyed. That's not a position I'd envy.
I highly recommend that you set her back down, repair any wiring and relax, wait for the ladies to return. Oh, and appoligize to them as if your life is in their hands, 'Cause...well...it is. Don't get angry with me now, I'm trying to save you."
Quote:
"Jadehand, Can you please tell SR as soon as he lands, that he, no infact, not him, but someone is to come and pick us up immedietly. Also if you could pass on the message to him that I don't particularly want him to come anywhare near me for a while, as if Soul doesn't rip his b... throat out for abandoning his heavily pregnant and rather conspicuous wife alone and unprotected on a strange planet, the I will be doing so."
"Seryn, Hey ummmm.. Yeah trying to head him off at the pass, Impatience is not a virture. If he fails to set back down on Commerce, I'll be there before nightfall. I appologize for failing to predict this, But trust I'll put the wrong things right as best I can. Please look after the girls if it turns out I'm needed to pick you up."
Quote:
Deuce listens to the com traffic between Seryn and Jadehand. She considers what she hears.
"Listen, Jade, since Serenity is getting mighty ripe and all, maybe it would be a good idea for you to go to Commerce to pick her up. But I can't go. Gotta stay on this dirtball 'til I find Quin. Even if it's her own gorram fault she wandered off."
"Thanks Deuce, I appreciate your understanding of the major faux paus, But I'd be just as big a complete pud if I abandoned you folk here to run after them."
*turns to McQ*
"McQ, I know you're new here, but you seem a man of honour to me, Will you be kind enough to give me your word to look after these fine folk if the need arises for me to depart for Commerce?"
*After a nod, the 2 men shake hands*
"Thank you, sir. I do appreciate you."

Aboard the Admiral Nelson.
SR toggles up his commlink once more.
V-mail for JadeHand-
"Jade you've always been stable and reasonable, and I respect that, but hear me out on this one. Seryn wasn't. We were at the Nelson, she and I, she got in a mood and locked me out of the shuttles controls and then she asked me to gather everybody up to leave. the

He then sends copies of the V-mail to TRM, Ebo and Seryn tagged with the heading "The Commerce incident: SR's perspective." And saves a copy for himself.
On the Sereni-Tree, TheRealMe sighs as he shakes his head. He returns a message to all concerned:
"Hello, this is Me. I will be landing the Napoleon Bonaparteon Commerce within the half hour. I'll be sure to land at the same site where the Admiral Nelson had been docked. After that, I intend to do some shopping of my own, for items lost in the Battle for the Common Room. None of these items are necessary, but all, I think would be desired. If the crew currently stranded on Commerce wish to depart in the Napoleon, then I can wait for a shuttle to come get me later."
TheRealMe then strides purposefully toward the shuttle hanger on top of the South Wing, Sparky at his heels carrying many bags.

Seryn opens a Channel to TRM -
"Hey Me, we'd happily wait for you to get what you need and take us straight back to the Tree if that wouldn't be to much trouble. In the meantime, we were heading of to find a good meal, would you care to join us? We'll let you know when we choose a place, ok?"
she changes the comm to peak to Jadehand.
"Hey Jade, please let SR know that he is free to carry on to Garrison, we won't be needing anyone to pick us up, TRM and the Napolean will be here soon and i'll go back to the Tree with the others. I'll be sad to miss the first flight, but I want to make sure the others are ok. I'm not sure how Citizen is, but we can get him and the rest of his stuff back with us, If he's ok with that.
You know, I never thought to ask, I just assumed, I trust everything is fine with the Cloud? You know, I bought some paints, when she's back on the Tree i'd be honoured if you'd let me paint her a name.
I think thats it for the moment. Good luck!"
She moves back towards Mai and Serenity, Making sure they heard the new plan, then excuses herself, leaving them to make the final decision about where they eat.
Moving off throught the market, unsure as to wheather she's motivated now by spite, pique or remorse, she finds all the shops selling the materials that SR had bought, and get refunds of his money, charging them to her mother-in-laws account instead, fobbing off the storekeepers with all manner of stories. On the way back she bounces the the full purse in her hands, wondering where best to aim it to cause maximum pain without permenantly damaging anything.
reaching the resturant, she sits her self down and looks around.
"nice"
and sets too studying the menu.
