"...That or force him to spend some quality time with Cozen, god knows he needs to get..." mumbles Seryn. *blinks* @Well! I didn't just say that, Yeah, he could do with some real relaxing time, don't think he's had any since we left The Drobie.Guys the best gorram quatermaster a ship could ever have, never had a single worry in that department. Backs you up in a fight as honourable a rogue as you could ever hope to be allied with. But he is terminally incapable of relaxing, even for a second, takes everything so damn seriously. Drives me mad... if I didn't need him around, and lets face it, love the b*****d to bits i'd have killed him years ago.
And Serenity I know you are more than capable of defending yourself, but i'm more interested in avoiding trouble, often that means running. I don't know about you but between bump, the shoes and the wings thats not something I want to have to make you do.
Hey! TRM! looking sexy, sit, have a drink.
Right"
Seryn opens up her menu again, turning to a page covered over with words that she doesn't have a hope in hell of pronouncing, and where spiciness ratings are indicated by little skulls rather than peppers,
"i'll go with that one, and that one to start, and then just like a tub full of lemon or mint sorbet to take away the burning.
*realises the others are watching her*
what?! adventure ordering! its fun, most of the time, though you do hear some funny stories... ...one had chest-bursters..."

FozzieWash, You know what I always say: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!
KermieMal, I never Know what the heck you're talking about.
FozzieWash, Hey, look! They're sending us free lumber!

*JadeHand listens to the com traffic and shakes his head. Turns to the others on board the Ocean Cloud *
"So, any word from Quincy? Is she still out getting some some fun in?"
*Pulls out his pad and tries to add to his writing, ocassionally pausing and staring off in thought, closing his eyes and summoning images from the past. Often pausing and taking a pull from bottle of rum. With all these pauses, it's no wonder he hasn't finished the gorram story.*

"Most of that inventory isn't for me and I'd be surprised to see any Alliance, that is any living Alliance, around here." Citizen said into his com-link. "As for the cargo, I think we can best discuss what it's for and how it should be, distributed, when we next meet in person. Oh and one last thing, I always thought the F in FNG stood for something other than Fresh..." He clicked the Com off and pushed through the resturant door.
"Now this is a bit more like it." He said.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.

OOC: I'm getting confused as to where everyone is so hopefully this isn't out of place, otherwise I can edit it later.
Still standing around in the hanger, McQ ponders where everyone is at and sees Jadehand return to Ocean Cloud. McQ decides to check with Jadehand to see if there's anything else he can do for him.
"Are you about to head to a different destination? If so, would you require my assistance? This planet is starting to bore me."
Jadehand seems a bit preoccupied, so McQ repeats to be sure he's heard.

*she notices he's looking at her...*
'No one knows I have that. I'd appreciate it if you kept it under your hat.
"Under your hat, your clothes - it's all the same right?" Needy thinks to himself, a slight smile appearing on his face.

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.'
He doesn't know what to say. "Is she telling me to get things off her chest, or is she normally this open?" He merely listens, believing that to be the best course of action - he can only say the wrong thing if he attempts to open his mouth.
Quote:
*twg shows him around the water park...the slide...the pool of that breathy stuff from abyss*
"This is... amazing" he says, taking in the sights. "I've never seen anything like it. Except maybe in movies."
"I thought these attractions only showed up in romantic films." She replies
"Uh... well. I may have watched a few of them in the past" he admits.
"Ah, it's all coming out now isn't it. Mr sensitive"
"I wouldn't say that but... well, I'll let you"
They both smile at each other
"But this place" he continues "it's like it's not even real, like something out of a dream."
"Yeah, she's a beaut. Why do you think so many stick around? There's no better ship in the entire 'verse. At least, not that I know of."
"You're right. Nobody would want to leave this place" He says before realising how ironic it may sound coming from him - his other counterpart did just that!
A moment of silence fills the air before TWG follows up on the comment with a question
Quote:
'I don't mean to be nosy...but well, I do. Do you really think it was amnesia?'
"Sorry?"
"Before... you mentioned suffering a bit of amnesia"
Quote:
'Well...maybe. It's just...
Needy hesitates before continuing. Should he really divulge his theory to her, or would that scare her away. She might think he was crazy if he told her that he suspected the person that came before wasn't him but a double. He decides to be as a vague as possible
Quote:
'...I don't remember ever being here. And for that matter, I don't remember not being where I had been.'
He wasn't sure how it would sit, until that is she continued
Quote:
'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.'
A sense of familiarity comes over him. Deja Vu. What she said made sense, but there was more to it. Something was triggered off in his mind - a memory, that in an instant was gone again. He struggled to uncover it, but it was no use. The harder he tried, the more he pushed it back to the dark recesses of his mind.
It would come back to him, he hoped, but he had been determined to put those mysteries at the back of his mind for now. He needed to relax and take his mind off of life right now. That was why he was taking this time out to tour the ship.
Needy nods his head in acknowledgement of what she said before redirecting the conversation:
Quote:
'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.

"The names Washes sexier younger brother but everyone calls me Wisp" SR gives him a bemused frown "its a type of mythical creature it was my nickname way back when"
"anyway im the new guy ill tell you all my life story when were together so lets here yours?"
Wisp rootled around in his bag and removed an oaty bar and looked attentivley at SR
"In time we'll get drunk and I'll tell you some stories. As far as 'The Story' is concerned, it doesn't make sense to me so I'm sure you couldn't understand it. Funny you should ask about me, no one else seems to care where I came from. They call me Scorpion Regent. I have no proper job title aboard ship and I like it that way. Don't worry about dinner I know of a nice place on Garrison. I just need a hour or so to look over this new shuttle Jade threw together this morning."
OOS: Seryn I'm dissappointed you didn't notice that LMD and I were relaxing earlier.

Well McQ, if you have the time and the gadgets, you can scan the Cloud for potential problems. Everything seems ok, and SR is on his way back to check it over too, but 3 'all clear's is always better than 2. Once we're clear here we may skip over to the moon, and check out....I mean check on, the girls.

The Nelson drops in from a steep descent curve and touches down on Garrison outside the hangar holding the Cloud and all the industrial cargo purchases for the Tree. Wisp and LMD hop out and walk into the hangar. SR takes ten minutes to reverse his bypass work on the Nelson and then joins everyone else inside. He is drawn as if by magic to the Cloud and immediately starts to inspect it's workmanship, which he grudgingly asseses as first rate. Forty five minutes later he pronounces the ship space-worthy.

*JadeHand approaches SR any extends his hand*
" Thanks for giving her the once over for me. I appreciate your time and efforts. More Importantly, Thanks for putting the Nelson back to the way she was when she left the Tree. "
*The men shake hands then retire to the inside of Ocean Cloud for a few shots of rum and some conversation.*
