On Sereni-tree:
Soul is off babbling incoherently to himself. Safe insists on everyone being quiet as he talks to his unseen imaginary friends.
Deuce cocks an eyebrow at Ace. Ace spins her index finger in circles near her ear. Deuce nods gravely.
"Well!" TheRealMe exclaims. "It seems that things haven't changed too much since we've been gone!"

Mai awakens to a sizzling sound and the smell of something being roasted. She opens her eyes.
"Good! Mai awake, now! Dinnertime soon!"
Mai looks around to see Ervin the Yeti. He has demolished some tables and chairs and used them as fuel for a fire on the floor. He reaches over to pull out a spit stabbed through a chunk of meat and tosses it in Mai's direction.
"Mai eat!"
Apparently, Ervin prefers his meal raw and bloody and his fangs tear chunks out of the haunch that he has.
Mai cautiously sniffs. It smells rather good.
"Taste like chicken!" Ervin offers helpfully.
Mai turns over her sample and notices that its back side is covered by a scrap of charred scaly skin.
"What is it?" Mai asks.
Ervin stops abruptly, the things blood dripping from the corners of his smiling mouthful of fangs. "What? Ervin don't know. But it put up hell of a fight!"
Ervin the Yeti

"ERV!!!! Oh I am so happy to see you! How did you find me?"
*rushes over and gives the yeti a huge hug, getting saliva, blood, and mystery meat dripped on her arm in the process.
"Oh it doesn't matter what it is I could eat a horse I'm so hungry.
Erv looks at her a bit shocked "Erv never kill pretty horseys!"
"Oh um, of course not. Sorry."
*mai closes her eyes and takes a bite.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

In the expansive piffle-pony ranch aboard Sereni-Tree:
TheRealMe laughs. "How hard can it be? After all, Bride6 rode in a race atop one." He lightly kicks his heels against the flanks of the teal-colored pifflepony upon which he is sitting.
The creature starts bucking violently, twisting this way and that. TheRealMe hangs on for dear life, being tossed about like a rag doll. Suddenly, he is flung loose into a high parabolic arc that splashes him in the middle of a nearby lake.
Ace frowns. "So you say that Number 6 could ride one of these things?"
Deuce nods. "Yep."
Ace inclines her head toward the lake, where TheRealMe has just dragged himself to shore. "Then what's HIS problem?"
"Well, Bobby Sue has been a decorated equestrian since she was a girl, and competed all over the world. I'm guessing that he's never ridden a horse before, much less a pifflepony."
Dripping wet, TheRealMe limps up to the Brides. "Okay, time for plan B".

"Seriously," Safe says helping TRM out of the water, "I HEARD something, you have to listen."
TRM offers Safe a hairy eyeball of question.
Safe stops and almost drops TRM back into the water. "I am not drunk... well, mostly not... drunk that is. I think."
Safe looks around, taking stock of his surrounding. "I think I saw those once before." He says pointing at the Piffleponies. "In an old timey movie. Twilight, I think it was. Chock full of sparkle-pony vampire things. If I remember correctly, the theatre was picketed by actual vampires and werewolves citing defamation of character."

**Back in the common room, Jake7 is still trying various methods to wake Soul up. The latest is a bucket of ice cold water thrown in his face. Nothing happens. Disgusted she turns to ask her fellow crewmates for help, only to find she's alone in the room. Again.**
Oh, come on!! This cannot be happening again!
**she activates her comm**
Where did everyone go? Are you still on the 'TREE? Where is SimonWho when we need him? I've tried all sorts of things, but I can't seem to wake up Soul!! I need help!

"Erv, thank you. You are a true friend. Now I'm going to need your help. Without comms we are pretty much in the dark, so I've been experimenting with another way to "talk" with the Sereni-Tree."
"Erv help anyway possible, but space ships don't talk... "
"I would agree, but we both know that the Tree isn't any ordinary space ship. What we have to do is close our eyes and concentrate on a crew member and try to get them to hear our thoughts. I tried it earlier and thought I felt a sort of tingly sensation in my head, but I was so tired I couldn't keep it up. So, maybe now we can do it at the same time and boost the signal. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it's all I've got at the moment."
"Ok, Erv try think hard."
*within moments both Erv and Mai are zoned out concentrating on the Sereni-Crew.

Meery Christmas Mai!
Is it too much if you are rescued by Santa summoned by the collective wishes of the Sereni-Tree crew?
No, there's never much too of nogg-egg. *hic* with nutmeg!
