Open it up and see, silly!

Soul's jaw drops.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?"

McQ approaches Serenity from behind and lightly taps her shoulder. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I believe I have all the wires and hooks untangled. Do you require further assistance?"

SR steps aside several paces to a relatively clear area, sits down into a lotus position and closes his eyes.

45 minutes later SR stands back up and returns to work, though close scrutiny will reveal that he appears to be in a trance.

*JadeBlackJackRackham (too lazy to change logins right now) shakes the cobwebs from his head as he takes in the bustling activity aboard the Tree, everyone scurries about taking care of the little things and the big things and playing games. He sits quietly and watches. They move by him almost in slow motion, almost not seeing him. He blinks occassionally, as if taking snapshots. Locking memories into place.
These memories stir others and he is, as is often the case, more than a little overwhelmed. Almost on auto-pilot, unaware of his actions, choosing to do nothing, he finishes his drink. He stands. He walks quietly, zig-zagging past the other crew that still seem to be moving slowly. He finds himself inside the hanger bay, the sound of Ocean Cloud 's door opening, Her engines starting and the craft leaving the Tree. He's in the pilot's chair, not remembering getting there and still not sure where he's going.
Atmo. Planetside. Far below, the smoke of battle is obvious. The knowledge of the war below passes though his mind. Ocean Cloud with full SEP active, passes overhead, unseen, unheard, and travels on. Past the coastline, over the sea, lowering itself to a hover just a few feet above the ocean.
It's late afternoon, near evening here. The rear hatch begins to lower as JadeBlackJackRackham walks to the rear of the craft. He spins one of the rear seats around and sinks into the chair, staring off into the distance of the open sea. He drinks. He watches. "And the sun and the equator, sitting like an ember thrown to deep water, from crimson to black. worth coming back... tomorrow."
Reclining in the sunset.... he drifts off to peaceful sleep.*

Truth In front of my eyes
While I denied
What my heart knows was right."

Arinda approaches Jazaf, eyes closed as always, but with many magic silver eyes floating about her. "Good job, Alatariel." She scoffs at those Immortals Alatariel recovered, each still held in Wards Major. "Allow those fools their discomfort, so they might contemplate their future actions. We will break them free in time."
"But you, Jazaf! You are a prize! What have you to say for yourself?"
At Arinda's side is Adelle the Burner, eyes fixed upon Jazaf and a fireball already in hand.
Jazaf takes a steadying breath as a nervous smile creeps onto his face.
"We can still end this peaceably. If we.."
Jazaf is cut off as a fireball engulfs his left arm and sears his flesh. A second fireball hits his right leg and sends Jazaf to the floor.
"You still think reason will win out the day? Karg was right to name you 'The Fool'." Arinda says in a mockingly motherly tone. Jazaf does his best to pat out the fires on his arm and leg.
In between gasps of pain he makes a statement, "No one will benefit from this. In the end, you will be alone with none to rule."
Jazaf is then engulfed in flames as Adelle hurls fireball after fireball at him.
"They will learn their place soon enough!" Arinda shrieks, then in a much calmer tone "As will you."
The fire burns hotter, Jazaf howls at the increased feeling of pain all over and passes out.
"Take him to the holding cell we had Magnus enchant in case of his return." Arinda commands Alatariel.

Hey McQ. Thanks for untangling those!
If you want to help finish hanging all the ornaments, that'd be great. I think there are some lights and garland that still need hanging, too.
I'm going to take Sera to see the penguins and the snow! Give me a buzz if you have any problems.
Oh, and there are cookies and milk in the kitchen when you want a break. Have fun!
Hey Mai! Ready to go play in the snow?

"Hey all! Didn't forget about me, didja?"
13's incredibly magnified voice rings across the battlefield as he, atop a somewhat tired-looking pegasus, soars into view, a sword in each hand, avian eyes blazing. He is adorned in glittering, silver armor, his rooster's talons decked out in gold magnificance. An Aztec plume of rainbow feathers tops his head, giving him a regal/utterly silly appearance. Each item glowed with hidden power, and he smiled a goofy smile as his new, bass voice rumbled:
"Where's this Project, friends and neighbors? I'll tear him a new one!"
