Splendid. Shall we party?

You realize, of course, that of the crew that have posted anything this year, only Ebonezer, Malicious, and ThatWeirdGirl have seniority on you as posters in Thread 1. and they don't seem to be around just now. None of the rest of us who are present even posted in the first two Threads. I assume that you have a speech prepared to kick off the event?"

[OOC: Ok, three days and 10 tries later -- let's see if this finally gets posted!]
**Jake7 reaches out to take TRM's proffered arm and stops dead in her tracks when she hears him mention a speech**
Prepared speech? Oh my, no! I hadn't thought to prepare anything -- I've still been struggling with the realization that this is our fourth year together!
**She ponders a minute then shrugs and says**
Well, I'm not a speech maker, but here goes:
This is (and has been) quite a fun ride! Never guessed in a million years that when I joined Ebo's clubhouse that I would someday be flying through the wilderness of space in a Treehouse!
We've met many strange and wonderful characters (where *are* some of them anyway? Cozen, Rat, Ath, Serenity, and so on) along the way and have created quite a little family out here in the black.
Here's hoping that our adventures don't end anytime soon!
**With that, she takes TRM's arm**
Anyone else have anything to say? If not, let's get to the Ark and have our anniversary party! For once, someone ELSE gets to clean up the mess! ::smile::

LF- Well, I think I know exactly what I'll be wearing... *goes and digs for that one particular dress* Well, it's my only dress, but it's a good one... *leaves the dress on the counter as she takes a hasty shower* *puts the dress on when she gets out and dries herself with a leopard-print towel*
Lf arrives, wearing a slinky halter-top dress, in leopard print, of course. "Do I pass inspection, cap'tn?"
TheRealMe blinks at the stunning Leopardflan before him. “Oh! Ahem! Yes, Leopardflan. You certainly have quite a nice… ah... leopard print. Thank you so much for coming with us. We always like to have new folks join our little family.”
From the group of women ahead, Bobby Sue smiles and waves at Leopardflan! "Hey! Hi! You can sit with us Brides if you like! I'm Bobbie Sue." She displays her urn. "And this is Jayne-clone2!"
Bride7 scowls. "He sort of fell apart one day."
Bobbie Sue pouts, glaring daggers at Bride7.
Bride7 shrugs. "What? Cloning is not an exact science!"

After hearing Jake7, TheRealMe takes a hanky and dabs the corner of his eye. “Very moving, Jake7! Thank you.” He takes her offered arm and they walk together, falling in behind the Brides and in front of Mai and the Potters (with Pete Potter, still in his scuba mask and flippers, bringing up the rear).
“Simonwho, we are certainly a couple of lucky guys to be surrounded by so many wonderful and lovely ladies!”
“Ervin lucky, too!” the spokesman of the Yeti bellows.
The two female Yeti both roll their eyes.

At the bar in the Sereni-Tree’s common room, Ace is still drinking, leaning back in a chair, her feet up on a table. Though she seems casual and at ease, her eyes flash this way and that. Her ears strain to catch every sound. She takes another sip of her drink, ready for the coming attack.
High above Ace, a small figure creeps along one of the balconies above the common room, looking down and observing her. Suddenly but silently, the figure jumps over the railing.
As an instant response, Ace kicks down on the table and launches herself into a backflip. As she is turning through the air, she draws her katana with a smooth motion. She lands expertly on her feet, her long blonde hair falling all around her, drink somehow preserved in her other hand. The chair she was sitting in clatters to the floor.
Meanwhile, Deuce plummets down from the balcony, a katana ready in each hand. The small red-headed woman crashes into the table, and it breaks her fall as it collapses. Deuce dodges one sword thrust by Ace, and parries another. Deuce performs her own backflip and stands ready.
Ace laughs. “Not bad, pup. You’re getting better. This time, you almost made me spill my drink.”
Deuce smiles. She takes a breath as if to answer. Then she charges.
"Bring it on," Ace says as she parries with one hand and sips her drink with the other.
Ace, Bride1
Deuce, Bride2

*watches the altercation with glee*
It's not really a party till there's a good fight. With katanas. Um...
Remember ladies, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. Or a hand.

The Wytchtakers Guide has this to say on the subject of missing persons:
Over the centuries the list of the missing includes siblings, pets, lovers, husbands, wives, dinosaurs and aircraft - even apparently omniscient deities.
Since the missing are only very rarely found - this has lead to speculation that underlying esteem issues prevent successful recovery - in essence, as Zatboi from Overthair has been quoted as saying; "What if the the missing people are just somewhere more interesting? would we really want to know?"
An authorized plaque on the Alliance training moon of Jalopppi reads: Remember pilots, to lose one spacecraft is an accident - to lose two seems like carelessness.

**OOC: Ah! TRM, glad you're here! I wondered what happened to everyone when there hadn't been a post for a few weeks! Sadly, I just am no good at coming up with plot stuff, so I wait for someone to write something that sparks an idea in my head.**
