Next in THIS thread will be a crew list.
Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:

Our spaceship, Sereni-Tree, had returned to Zanzibar, the magical medieval world of fantasy role players that we had once visited before. We celebrated Christmas, the New Year, and Valentine’s Day in our way.
Down on the surface of Zanzibar, we almost became involved in a plot concerning our bunch of Harry Potter clones, Mai, Bluefishie, her little purple squid-thing pet, Browncoat2007, and some others doing something at Puffenstuff’s School of Sorcery, where the headmaster (a huge dragon) had been put into a magical sleep and replaced by an evil sorcerer.
But we didn’t. Nobody seemed too interested in that plot. Oh, well. And I even threw in some flying monkeys!
Also, Bride5, with the help of a new giant friend, built the first Zanzibarbarian golf course.
Jadehand hovered for months over a tranquil Zanzibarbarian sea in his shuttle the Ocean Cloud.
During this thread we met a number of new people: Invictus12, LeopardFlan, Mobbex, Oram, and Tatertot. We also saw the return of some old friends who had been missing for a very long time: Ebonezer, Malicious, Monkeytail, TheManInBlack, and ThatWeirdGirl (or at least her disembodied hand).

THE CREW AND PASSENGERS OF THE SERENI-TREE
Under active crew I have put everyone who has posted something since around the time of Christmas. I shuffled others off to the MIA list.
If I have missed crew or if anyone would like to change my one-line description of them, let me know. There is always the possibility that some missing folks have just been sleeping in their quarters for the last dozen threads, or perhaps they have been placed in the secret cryogenic freezing chamber of the Insidious Doctor Rat.
The Active Crew and Passengers of the Sereni-Tree
Bluefishie: Often just wanders around. Has pet blue fishies and a pet squid-thing. Power: “Magic” marker.
Browncoat2007: A 5'6" brown haired, brown eyed college kid, joined at the very end of Mai-Quest3. A merc. Powers: Calling forth his dufflebag from thin air; rapid regeneration; "Browncoat fury".
Ebonezer aka Ebo (Commodore): Exuberant, impulsive; nest under the pool table where she is often in hibernation; Power: speaks to any creature. Drops in every nine or ten threads to see how we are doing. Now able to hang naked from a chandelier.
Invictus12 New crewmember picked up at Zanzibar.
Jadehand aka BlackJackRackham aka EVERYBODY! (Brewer and Gunner) : Power: nametags of shapeshifting, which allows him to become anyone, at a price! Brought aboard after Mai-Quest 2.
Jake7 (Gunner): Volunteers for all the hard missions; enjoys a game of pool. Power: gadget that projects force fields and grants night vision.

PsychicRiver (Security Deputy): Son of TWG and SimonWho from the future. Just a little crazy; knits. Once took his dad’s TARDIS out for a spin, but has since returned. Powers: telepathy, precognition, telekinesis.
SimonWho (Physician): Helpful, friendly, annoys women he likes; In the future, he and ThatWeirdGirl are the parents of PsychicRiver. Power: Timelord; blue box; can destroy an entire planet (but only an ENTIRE planet, all or nothing).
Tatertot: New crewmember picked up at Zanzibar.

After the queasiness of the hyperspace transition wears off, TheRealMe addresses the crew and passengers of Sereni-Tree
"WELL! Greetings! It seems that we have some new faces here. Please, tell us something about yourselves!
"Also, we have a great number of our old friends who have been missing that have returned, some from our very first thread, including our Fearless Leader Ebonezer who made the very first post in the very first thread. Welcome back!
"We will be together during our week-long journey through hyperspace to our next destination. If you'd like something to eat, the kitchen is that way. There is the bar, where our bartender Trey can get you a drink. If you like swimming, our water park is through that set of doors, and for video games or DVD watching, well, that's over there. Finally, there is the pool table, but be sure to clear it with the Commodore before you use it. Her nest is underneath!"

Well, I'm one of the newcomers, so hi!
I'm a pyromaniac, but not into arson much, so don't worry about that (much). I have a leopard, a couple of foxes, a firebird, and an ocelot as pets. Often wacky and weird.
I also have a pack of robots (I think I have seven of them), that are extremely slow and tend to take orders very literally, and aren't exactly flexible when it comes to changes in plan. These robots actually killed Mobbex, but I still hold that it was all MSB's fault.
Oh, and I'm now an ice dragon, on account that I was dumb enough to go to Antarctica, I ended up being a frozen chunk, and an ice dragon ate me, but was nice enough to give me a new bod. I can't speak using this new mouth, but apparently ice dragons are telepathic, so that's why this sounds a little weird.

Hi Leopard!
Right, we've got a whole week to reach our destination, we need to get ourselves prepared, focus ourselves, sharpen our reactions. As a doctor, I can prescribe only one thing.

Hi there! In case you haven't noticed, I'm a puddle of translucent goo locked up in a crystal jar, and if one of you would be so kind as to set me free, well I'd be much obliged.
Thanks ^_^

*As soon as LeopardFlan unscrews the lid, the jar spews out sparks and purple smoke. The smoke then condenses into a rangy, long-haired young man.*
FREE! I'M FREEEEE!
*turns and crushes the jar to smithereens*
*laughs manically* Yeah, that'll teach you! GNARF! Stuff me in a jar for over a thousand years... GNARF! Just wait until I get my mitts on your descendants!
*turns back toward LF* Huh, sorry about that ^_^
I'm Ometochtli, the aztec god of debauchery and leader of the of the four hundred rabbit gods of drunkenness. Pleased to meat you!

*munches on the crystal shards*
Hmmm... not cold enough, but otherwise tasty. Delightfully crunchy.
