Soul stands in a corner of the Common Room, his thoughts racing through his head. There are two major things pulling at him, one involving a love he still has, and another of a love he has lost. Across the room, he sees Serenity, happy, beautiful, and pregnant with his child. Then, in his mind's eye, he sees her, Ciaran, the love he lost, and he knows that if he will ever be able to give himself completley to Serenity, as much as he wants to, he has to close out that chapter in his life.
* * *
The hand holding the gun was the only thing Soul saw, and it froze him with fear. He couldn't move, couldn't run; and even as Ciaran screamed, and the gun went off, Soul couldn't save the one person who meant the most to him. He watched as Ciaran died, and then the laugh, the man who had held the gun, the man who had taken Ciaran from him had the nerve to leave him with a laugh. The shadows enveloped Ciaran's killer, all except for a glimpse of the man's arm, and a tatoo that Soul would never forget: a laughing skull wearing a jester's hat on a red diamond background. Laughing at death. Laughing at him.
* * *
The decision has been made. Soul walks to the nearest computer console and keys in a code, sending out a signal. With that done, he makes his way over towards Serenity, but he can't make himself speak to her. A tear wells up in the corner of his eye, and the love in his heart for her threatens to buckle his knees. He knows what he has to do, though. He loves Serenity more than anything, so in order to love her completley, he has to find the man who killed Ciaran, and end him. Make sure he never harms anyone else again.
So Soul writes a letter, and places it in Serenity's quarters. The he makes his way through the ship, speaking with a few people who may have a desire to help him on his quest, and tells them that if they wish, they can meet him at the airlock by the upper port cargo bay. He has a ship to take them on their way.
Almost as an afterthought, Soul goes back to the console and sends another message, this one labeled for a recently departed friend...actually, friends, and sends out rendesvous coordinates. If they can meet...Soul can use all the help he can.
With that completed, Soul goes to the upper port cargo bay to wait for any others.

[OOC: I like angst just as much as the next person, but this is just too much angst all the time! I think a chance to relax every once in awhile is exactly what we need!]
Kelly and Ath feel a slight tug at the napes of their necks, and suddenly find themselves dripping on the carpet of the Common Room, snorkels, goggles and flippers still in place.
"Huh!" Kelly honks amusedly through her snorkel.

Weirdgirl, I really wish that you had done me the courtesy of talking to me or messaging me before using the sledgehammer solution.
There must be a way to make a compromise that will not cause a schism. ESPECIALLY I do not want our family broken up just before our second aniversary.
Sheesh, Weirdgirl, it was you who caused your character to die from lack of air on the Nelson once, then had your character receive a traumatic gunshot wound to your head! Then there was the whole pondering your destiny angst when you were chosing between Static and SimonWho. It could be argued that you started such angsty events.
You say you want the clubhouse back. Fine. But why destroy the Sereni-Tree as a starship? Let those of us who wish angsty space adventures continue from our orbit over Commerce and Garrison. Those who want more whimsy can take the Original Clubhose (which we have in a hanger bay) and take THAT back to Earth-That-Still-Is.
We can even keep our permanent teleportal to Zoid's Pub at the Bottom of the Tree and either group can visit either place.
That is, unless you intend to impose restrictions on who is allowed to come to your clubhouse. For my part, anywone is welcome on the Sereni-Tree.
Give me a little time to think on this more, before the Schism occurs and we lose too many people.
TheRealMe, First Officer of the Sereni-Tree

Serenity has a temple?

OOC: I am working on a compromise that does not split us in a schism. I want to keep the family together.

OOC: TRM, I don't want us to split, either. Calm times would be good for some, but there's always room for drama!

"Ok, Kelly, you have to let me look through your wardrobe."
*Kelly agrees, and they walk to Kelly's tree, stopping to give Lissa a big welcome back hug on the way.*
