This is Thread 51 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:

Early in this next link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V6”. This post is a description of the ship and crew.

The latest, updated crew list is early in this thread:

Following is a summary of our previous thread, located at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=22611

After a number of peril-less threads, it was time to get back into some good, old-fashioned peril. But we didn’t want to jump right in. We sort of wanted to ease our way into it. So, we became aware of the group of SCA members, fantasy role-players, and new age mystics who founded their own colony on the world of Zanzibar. These Zanzibarbarians have turned their backs on technology, and get by with Renaissance Faire level technology. However, in the absence of technology and horses, they have bred a local flightless bird into a fearsome riding beast for their knights. Moreover, some recent developments have these creatures breathing fire! These are essentially giant fire-breathing space chickens!

For some reason that escapes me, we have decided that we want to obtain one or more of these creatures. Jake7 then volunteered that, among her super-powers, she has the innate ability to confuse chickens! Also, LightMeDark will be useful in talking to them, if we can keep him sober enough.

We undertook a jump through hyperspace lasting a few days to reach the planet of Zanzibar.

Wisp decided to augment his body with techno-bits to grant himself superpowers. He now has gills, super-sight, and some kind of magnetic lifting power in his arms.

A group of our engineers and mechanics, including Jadehand, Wisp, Jet, and Seryn, repaired our shuttle Admiral Nelson, which had been damaged back during our last bit of peril. Meanwhile, TheRealMe crafted a small herd of robotic giant space chickens for our use once we got on the planet. Seryn took time off from repairs to make us all period costumes. After loading up with medieval level weapons, we are about ready to go!

The people that I recall having expressed an interest in going on this adventure are: Jake7, LightMeDark, Mai, Seryn, TheRealMe, ScorpionRegent, Wisp, and XanderLHarris/Ash.

From what I guess, staying behind are the Yeti, the Faeries, the Brides (including Serenity), and (presumably) Ghost, Shadow, and Doctor SimonWho.

I’m not sure about 13, Cozen, Jadehand, SoulofSernity, or anybody else who may have recently come out of cryo.

All aboard who's coming aboard!

Oh mai! hopefully we won't be firing weapons - our main objective is to get close enough to the chickens for Jake to do her confusing thing.

I'm taking the longbow purely cause i want to, but i'll be more likely to whack the backs of peoples knees with it than to actually fire it.

Can you confuse people? then you'll do just fine - have a pretty dress...

Phew, well that's a relief. Confusion I can do.

Oooh thanks for the pretty dress! Shiny!

**jake7, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her medieval costume, boards the Nelson and finds a place to sit. She continually plucks at the neckline, feeling more than just a little exposed and turns to Seryn**

This is a very well made costume, and quite beautiful, but I'm feeing like I'm going to end up with a "wardrobe malfunction"...

Wisp climbs into the pilot seat of the Nelson and begins flicking switches and doing the preflight checks.

"TRM ur robo chickens best not excrete any spare parts on the new shuttle. Shes all shiny and youll have to clean them up" Wisp pulled some more buttons and pushed some levers and a hum came from the new engines

"ALL ABOARD for the Zanzibar express!! The Meal for your flight is Bangers and Mash and the inflight movie is something called Serenity. Now take your seats and prepare for some thrilling heroics"

I've just got one thing to do before we depart. Don't leave without me!

*Runs off to the crew quarters to see what happened to JH*

*Knocks on door

Hey sleepy head get up or you are going to miss out on the peril!

*JadeHand rolls out of bed onto the floor, still appropriately not attired for bed, and stands before Mai.*

Hey you, there you are.

I didn't realize that you wanted to go. I thought we were staying here? Oh, it's okay. I'm flexable. Medieval society right? Give me a sec...

*JadeHand swings open his wardrobe and pulls the rather comfortable BlackJackRackham clothing from it's place and dresses quicky as Mai stands patiently waiting, tapping her foot as she watches him. Grabbing his cutlass and eyepatch and flask, he finishes putting them in their place as the pair walk down the hall and up the stairs to the Nelson.*

Oh, hey everybody. Looks like a regular party. Do we have a plan? Or a way? I understand having a way is better than a plan.

{jokingly}Confusion. That's the plan? Kinda like "get her!" don't 'cha think? {/Ghostbusters humour} Ah well, I'm in. Maybe they like rum.. drunken giant fire-breathing riding chickens are always a hoot.

*rolls eyes*

"You have great boobs, theres no need to fret...

Well, if you truly are uncomfortable.

HOLD THE THRILLING HEROICS!"

*produces fine scarf from bag, tucks it into the back of Jake7's dress, brings end over and expertly aranges scarf in tiny little folds that conceal everything while still looking elegant and non frumpy, before tucking the ends into the front, and securing in place with tiny pins*

"There, lovely, and modest."

*looks down at own cleavage, considers getting scarf*

"Nah, i'm happy looking like a tart."

*sits gracefully back in co-pilots chair and wave hand*

"Ok, recommence thrilling heroics."

*lmd finds himself stumbling around, conveniently falling into the open airlock of the shuttle Nelson. he rolls over on his back and looks at the other passangers from his vantage point down on the deck.

uh, hey...what's up guys? we gotta get to the shuttle!

what? we're already on it? oh, ok. carry on, then...

/me looks around peevishly, softly whistling

I really have very little idea as to the plan. Something about capturing the chickens for some really good reason that I don't recall. Peril, or not (cause who knows, could be they are the cuddly type fire breathing chickens?)I'm ready to get off the boat for a bit and do some exploring.

Exploring sounds good. No getting lost this time eh?
Cuddly fire breathers.. yeah, I'm sure that's it.
We'll have some adventures in old world taverns, maybe I'll pick up a new brew recipe to add to the mix.
