Gala? What gala? I hate dressing up anyhow.

Can just anyone join this shindig? 'Cause I think I have a mighty fine dress that can be put to use.

Where did Mai go? She said she had a dress for me and that she'd be back soon.
Huh.

(going back just a little)
*summons sparky to her room. "I need you to deliever this box to Serenity. It has her gala outfit in it so be very careful with it."
Sparky: You should not worry. If it wrinkles I have full dry cleaning capabilities.
"No I mean be careful, it might explode. See the warning label: DO NOT SHAKE CONTAINER, CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE MAY GO BOOOOOOOOM!" In fact, maybe you'd ought to open it for her. You know far away from everyone. Then make sure she gets all the fabric-y stuff and the instructions."
Thanks!
*slams the door shut*

Feeling badly about his unjust grilling of the boa, El heads to his room but not before first stopping by the bar where he grabbed a couple of the seemingly endless supply of bottled booze stored there.
Upon reaching his room he dons a pair of headphones and sets in motion one of his favorite playlists...a list full of musical gnats (anagrams are fun (again)). He busts out the 99 Bananas and other assorted drinks before letting the energy trapped inside free...
-edit- grr, can't really see the headphones on the banana due to the black background ;F

OOC: I have nothing to add, which kinda sucks, considering that I'll be on vacation 'til next Wednesday!! Serenity knows what will be my dress (yes, I'm competing), and until I return, I am your puppet!! Have fun, and namaste. (Losties'll get that last one)

Shadow and Ghost calmed down as Mrs. Seryn and Mrs. Serenity dressed them. Shadow in the blue Chinese pants set, her hair lightly curled and held in a half pony tail with a butterfly clip. Ghost, after a quick trip to the restroom, had quickly been redressed out of that poofy pepto bismol pink lacy dress Mrs. Bobbi had dressed her in, was now dressed to match her sister, in a blue Chinese style dress with a white dragon on it, her hair had been uncurled from the tight curls Mrs. Bobbi had put in and now was French braided, blue ribbons that matched her outfit woven into the braid. Both girls wore blue slippers that matched their outfits.
Shadow knew she shouldn’t have accepted the outfits, but there was no way she was going to refuse them, the ladies had been so nice to her and Ghost, and she hoped at least she would be able to find a way to pay them for the outfits. Looking over at her sister she had to smile, she had forgotten how pretty Ghost could be when cleaned up, both of them were too used to running around in the rags she had grabbed from their last foster home. Sadness came over Shadow as that thought entered her head. Poor Ghost, sometimes she thought it would have been better if Ghost had gone with their parents, that there had been no other survivors.
Sometimes she wished she didn’t have to be the grown up.
Like with that monster, she would have liked to be cuddled like they did to calm Ghost down, She didn’t want to be the one to explain what they saw or what they were even doing alone in the first place. She didn’t want to have to be the one to explain why they were stowing away, or why Ghost didn’t talk. But it would be up to her to do all of that when the time came, because she was the oldest, because she talked and Ghost didn’t, because she had to take care of her sister. It was times like this that made her miss their older brother the most. He had disappeared a year before “it” happened to go to school. He was supposed to protect her, he was supposed to make sure she was safe. But he wasn’t around and She had no idea even where to start finding him.
Feeling a tear run down her cheek she quickly wiped it away, hoping one of the adults hadn’t seen it. Crying was a weakness, she shouldn’t cry. She had to be brave and she had to be the adult.
Taking a few deep breaths she plastered a fake smile on her face and took a good look at the silliness around her. She didn’t quite know what was going on but the adults seemed to be having fun. Her eye caught something coming towards the entry to the common room making her freeze before taking a step towards her sister and grabbing the younger girls hand. Her gaze never leaving the large figure coming closer and closer.
Ghost noticed her sister’s gaze and whimpered a little as the duo hid once again behind Seryn and Serenity as their monster appeared in the doorway.

As McQ enters the common room Serenity turns around and asks if the little girls are okay as they're hiding behind her again. Shadow shook her head and held out a trembling hand pointing towards the door.
"What is it, sweetie?" Serenity asks.
"M-m-monster!!" Shadow replies with her voice quivering.
McQ stops and turns around looking for this so-called monster, then realized the scared little girl was referring to him.
"Sweetie, that's not a monster. That's - umm - I'm sorry, I don't think we've been formally introdced," Serenity says. "My name is Serenity."
The cyborg approaches and introduces himself. "I'm known as McQ. Nice to meet you - formally." He then gets down on one knee and faces Shadow and Ghost who are still hiding behind Serenity. "I didn't mean to scare you earlier. I'm not going to harm you. I know I seem big and scary but I use that against the bad people." McQ holds out a robotic hand to show Shadow he can be trusted. She shakes her head and refuses to touch McQ's hand. He looks up to Serenity who looks down to him.
"I guess it'll take a while for them to get used to you," she says sweetly.
McQ stands up. "I can't blame them for that, I mean, look at me." He looks down to Shadow again. "I swear I won't hurt you. Hopefully you'll come to trust me at some point."
Seeing there's a lot of sillyness in the room, McQ turns around and heads out the door he came in, hoping to find something a little more to his liking.

“Wow!” Jet exclaims. “Go Jadehand! Go Mai!”
Still damp from her shower and clad only in a towel, Quincey walks up and looks over her friend’s shoulder. “Where are you getting this video from, Jet?”
“I just tapped into a feed from Cozen’s camera. He always finds the best stuff to record.” She turns off the vid. “We’ll give them some privacy. Are you ready?”
“Right, I’ve just showered and I’m drying off now. You promised me that if I came down here to Engineering, you could fix me up with some stunning, sexy outfit for the Gala Pageant.”
Jet smiles. “This way!” She leads Quincey toward a nearby Diagnostic Repair Drone.
“Not that I have any doubts about my looks,” Quincey adds as they are walking. “I’m easily the most beautiful woman in this place, and I have a fantastic body. It’s just… well… there are some pretty awesome dresses being created up there. I don’t want to fall behind.”
“Uh huh,” Jet replies, not really listening. She reaches into a pocket on her dirty coveralls and pulls out a holocrystal. She plugs this into a data port on the DRD. Then she starts screwing canisters into other receptacles on the robot. “Red and black should do the job, nicely, I think,” Jet mutters to herself. To Quincey: “Lose the towel.”
Quincey tosses the towel aside and stands there naked. “Okay, but…”
“And hold your breath!” Jet pushes a button on the DRD and jumps back. A pair of long tentacles shoot out from the DRD, each with a nozzle on its tip. Quincey is suddenly enveloped in a cloud of mist as her outfit for the Gala Pageant is sprayed on with mechanical precision.
Jet, Bride4 and
Quincey, Bride5

People in the Sereni-Tree’s common room can hear a rukus coming from the attached water park. “All scrub Ervin! Scrub Ervin harder!” There is also much splashing. Anyone investigating will discover the five Yeti in the water park, along with their friend Nugget the Meteor Troll. One of the Yeti is in the Olympic sized swimming pool. Nugget and the other Yeti are on the deck surrounding it, wielding brushes on extended poles like halberds, trying to clean their companion. Apparently, huge quantities of soap have been dumped in the pool, causing lather to foam up and cover everything. “Ervin be clean. Ervin be pretty. For big party.”
