*JadeHand leads Seryn to the hanger bay, pulls a remote from his pocket and deactivates the SEP on Ocean Cloud . Taking her inside he returns to the locker and opens the combination lock. Reaching inside he pulls out his Briefcase of toys. He sets those to the side and reaches back into the locker. He pulls out the last of the extra SEPs and hands it to Seryn.*

"For Nandi . I'll help you set it up."

*He collects his briefcase, cuffing it to his wrist. He leads her back out and over to Nandi closing up and reactivating the SEP behind him. He quickly connects and goes over the operation of the device with Seryn.*

"Now you take care of her, you hear?"

"I will." , Seryn replies.

"I was talking to Nandi ."
"Now, Back to the fun."

*JadeHand heads for the gameroom to teach Rudy a lesson.*

*rubs his hands together vigorously.*
"Since Cozen is uhhh.....making his dress, I'll finish the stage."
Jazaf puts both hands on a large slab of metal and begins using his abilities to form a Stage. While forming the stage he make a life size statue of Malicious, the Last pageants winner and leaves a space for another statue for this pageants winner.
"This stage could take awhile so if you guys have any suggestions.... the stage is hard enough."

"Hey sweetie, wheres your sister? We got you some surprises from the commerce planet, you go find your sister and i'll go grab the gifts from my room, meet you here in ten say?

Shadow rubbed her eyes sleepily, as she looked up at Mrs. Seryn. It had been a long few days so the woman’s words didn’t register for a few moments. When they did she grinned.

Quote:
The little girl grins at her, eyes big as dinner plate, and as she runs off, Seryn returns to her rooms, picks up the shopping bags, and checks on the rabbits...

Shadow walked quietly through the halls looking for her sister. This ship was big, maybe she should ask if anyone had seen Ghost. She shouldn’t have let Ghost our of her sight, should have learned her lesson during Ghost’s disappearing act earlier. Taking a deep breath the girl tried to calm down. No one on this ship had harmed them in any way, no one on this ship had tried to hit them, no one on this ship had even attempted to turn them in to the authorities.

Looking around she realized she was lost.

Meanwhile somewhere else aboard the tree…

Bobbie tosses back her own curly blonde hair, takes the hem of her skirt in each hand, and executes a perfect curtsie.

“Look sweetie! You are SO pretty. We’re like twins, now!” Bobbie squeals with delight. "Isn't dress-up fun?"

Little Ghost stares at herself in a mirror, not quite believing her eyes.

Bobbie suddenly realizes that Ghost may not be entirely happy with her new look. “Uh, hey, sweetie, would you like one of my Barbies? I’m a collector, you know.” She throws open the doors to her walk-in closet, revealing from floor to ceiling a carefully ordered, cataloged collection. “Here!” She grabs one and displays it for Ghost. “High Society Barbie! Isn’t she gorgeous? And what fashion sense! It’s very rare. I had to get TheRealMe to go to some other dimension to find it for me.”

Ghost continues to stare at herself in the mirror.

Bobbie is unsure of what to do next. “Uh, would you like to go find your sister?”

Ghost nods gravely.

Mrs. Bobbi was scary sometimes. At first she took Ghost to get something to eat but then she had taken her to this room and had spent several hours curling, washing, dressing, and putting all sorts of smelly gunk on her.

Ghost looked down at herself still not sure what she thought about the outfit she was now dressed in, and she definitely wasn’t sure about the hair, the dress was pretty but very ruffly, she was afraid she would mess up the outfit she was in. And her hair was all crinkly, she didn’t like that. She didn’t think Shadow would like it either. Shadow said they couldn’t dress in things like this cause they’d be noticed. Plus Ghost really didn’t want the nice people she had met to laugh at her. She looked like a dolly.

It was like Mr. Jones at the orphanage had told her. She wasn’t a pretty girl, she didn’t deserve pretty things, she and Shadow were gutter trash and should dress like it cause that was better than they deserved. Mr. Jones had told them that crinkly and fancy hair was for kids who deserved it and for kids who had families and who didn’t make their mommies and daddies run away. He had said only good girls got pretty dressies and Ghost knew she wasn’t a good girl. She had left Shadow with the ponies, and didn’t help with the buttons enough and and…

Her eyes began tearing up as they continued walking, her mind fully engulfed in her thoughts.

She didn’t notice Shadow till

Bobbie Sue bends down to pick up little Ghost, who had fallen down. "There, there, sweetie." She wipes away Ghost's tears. "Look, here's your sister. Let's see what she thinks about how pretty you look!"

Bobbie Sue, Bride6

TRM, hope you don't mind but I think you missed a few things off that I invented:

The big screen television
The Internet
Cheesham, the ever popular melding of cheese and ham
Fire

Any time you could add those to the list, that would be great.

Ummmm... Actually, Jazaf, you might want to save yourself a little time and make TWO statues of Malicious.

Okay, so I didn't INVENT the comm links, I just made them available to everybody.

But the Wingéd Waters were totally my idea.

*Serenity finds Mai in the Common Room, hiding behind a large stack of packages.*

Wow, we may have gone a bit overboard with the presents for the girls. I hope we don't overwhelm them.

And just when did you find time to wrap all of them? You're amazing!

Now, where's Seryn and the girls?

And so Jazaf proceeds to make a Second Statue Of Malicious.

Engineering: The still completed SR now set himself to giving Snarky a personality. He began by uploading music and movies into Snarky hand over fist. After about two hours of what could only called data entry SR concluded that there was probably enough material for a intial test run. He then began by crunching code that would allow Snarky to access movies and music and use sound-bytes, mimic voices and play music in response to outside stimuli or as a reflection of some inner state, this takes quite a while. Finally SR steps back from his work, finishes his coffee and hits the button that sets the program in motion. Snarky immediately begins playing the opening bars of Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra" at high volume. Snarky notices SR's discomfort and reduces the volume slightly. After the fan fare ends Snarky goes silent.
"are you all right?" SR asks fearing some sort of overload may have caused the program to lock up.
Snarky snaps his head back does a James Brown shout starts dancing around engineering to "I Feel Good", picking up a pair of small wrenches Snarky drums along in time on the walls and conduits.
"You may have create a monster." Says Jett to SR.
"He's fine, ...so far."
"So what's next?"
"With Snarky?"
Jett nods.
"I'm just going to give him a little time to settle into it and then I'll make adjustments as needed."
"Okay then what's next in general?"
"I was thinking of another heat exchanger for a instant on demand hot water heater."
"For tea?"
"Yeah, hot chocolate, soups, and the like."
"Cool!"
"On the contrary my dear."
