Our spaceship, Sereni-Tree, has been docked at the space station Persepolis 8, for a VERY long time. More stuff happened.

The glamourous Quincey's eyes light up.

"Hey, does this mean that I can fly us somewhere ELSE? I've been sort of tired of sitting here in one spot!"

TheRealMe smiles. "Sure, Bride5." He turns to Jet. "Bride4, how long before we are ready to depart?"

The small woman adjusts her glasses as she thinks. "Give me about an hour and a half to run through the checklists and spin up the FTL drive."

"Drinks are on the house!" Trey yells out.

**jake7, Mai, and SimonWho have all reached the bridge. Only to find it empty.**

Well, this is just bizarre! The 'TREE appears to be docked, so at least we know we're not going to crash blindly into something.

Where is everyone?

**No sooner are her words out of her mouth when she hears a commotion coming from the direction of the common room. Jake7, Mai, and SimonWho look at each other. They immediately race to the common room. The sight that greets them fills them all with great relief.**

TRM!!! Brides! Sparky! Yeti! Man, are we glad to see you!

Something odd's going on here on the 'TREE. Mai and I both last remember being at a party then waking up in our rooms with no memory on how we got there!

There's been strange phenomena, too. Both Mai and I felt odd, tingling sensations on our wrists. We've been pretty freaked out, to say the least!

Where have you BEEN?!?

Though it has to be said, strange is our business. Mostly.

Certainly that whole thing with ice cream from parallel universes... freaky. Dennis Rodman freaky.

True. Good point. Although, I don't see what's so strange about ice cream from an alternate dimension. Everyone knows that eating ice cream from this dimension is yesterday.

Sure, you just need to set the neuron filters to medium, the multiverse stabilisers to a varying frequency between 7 and 823,321,522 mhz, narrow the stablisation parameters as tight as you can without burning yourself while adding a chroniton particle every 0.5 seconds.

It's that or yell "Yoo hoo, anyone there?" They can't help themselves but respond.

Don't check this particular bucket. It's not bigger on the inside... no siree.

Just your plain ol' mop bucket. No big screen T.V. not surrounded by leather recliners. There's no fridge full of cold drinks or pantry filled with snacks.

Nope not at all. And definitely no Blue-ray sci fi collection prominently featuring the Firefly box set.

Nope. Just a plain bucket. Yup.

Just little ol' me...well...ummm... I'm not here, forget I said anything.

Jake, I'm not sure of the how or the why. It appears as though someone has applied Time Lord tech to the buckets. I sort of accidentally tipped one over and TRM fell out!

We are down the north corridor past the common room and around the corner from that weird room that no one can ever get into. There must be hundreds of buckets all piled up down here. I'm not sure what to do really as I don't want to cause anyone else harm by shaking them. Maybe I'd better knock on them first?

I just thought of something. Maybe we were invaded by some strange beings from another galaxy and they are trying to enslave us all by tempting us into bigger on the inside buckets and then kidnapping all of us!
Then once we are all trapped, they will take over the Sereni-Tree. We'll be stuck in the buckets with no transport and......

Thursday, April 16, 2009 4:47 PM

I'm wondering if this is connected to the fact that you and I had that odd problem with waking up in our rooms with amnesia on how we got there.

But why only we two?

**jake7 looks down to see TRM, Safe, and Ash clambering about the debris that fell out of the bucket. She helps them up to a shelf at eye level and asks**

Did you guys purposely shrink yourselves down to fit in that bucket? How did you get in there?

TRM, do you know why there are so many buckets here? I noticed only a couple in the cleaning supplies closet off the Common Area.

Since you're no longer in the bucket that will act like a megaphone, try your comms to talk to us. Hopefully, the shrinking didn't affect the comm's ability to connect to ours!

Well, we did have a set of adventures, The Madness of Arkham, where we met our evil twins. As I recall, Doctor SimonWho's evil twin was some kind of mad scientist that gave bad advice over the net.

**jake7 hears a tiny little voice and checks the end table at the end of the couch**

TRM! We have to do something to get you back to normal size!

You're right. I forgot about that...but that doesn't explain SimonWho having a cell phone when we all use wrist comms to communicate...

Safe nods in agreement with TRM.

An Idea occurs to him and he opens his mouth to speak, temporarily forgeting about the last time he tried that particular stunt...

"We represent the Lollipop Guild
The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild
We wish to welcome you ..." He closes his mouth dejectedly.

Le sigh....

*Notices his bucket has a hole at the bottom*

*Takes a peek at the temporal displacements whirling about beyond his bucket*

*Is a bit terrified*

However, in addition to being somewhat cramped, it's kinda getting a bit, um, ripe, in here. Also, there's an event horizon that looks to be a tad too close for the comfort of a temporal escape, eh?

Oh, don't worry folks - I reintegrated myself with my evil counterpart and let him off the lease occasionally but I just have a mobile to communicate beyond the ship.

Coz, do you need an extraction from your current bucket predicament?

I've a deal with Sprint, although something tells me Luke Skywalker is going to get fired when they find out just how long distance my calls are.

*beep beeeeep beep*

Isn't that the cockpit warning alarm?

JAKE7

Saturday, April 25, 2009 2:29 PM

Really? Nice. How is Luke nowadays?

**The beeping of the alarm stops further conversation as everyone turns to look askance at TRM**

OOC: TRM, were you made full sized yet? I've been assuming those of you that were in the bucket haven't come back to full size yet...

Throughout the Sereni-Tree the voice of Quincey bellows from every com device. "Heads up, people! It looks like the space station Persepolis 8 is under attack! Jet! Wherever you are, we need you in main engineering! We gotta get out of here!"

TheRealMe keys his com link. "All hands, this is the captain. We are departing immediately! Bride5, release docking clamps! Bride4, to engineering! Spin up the FTL drive! All hands, prepare for battle stations!"

There is a vibration throughout the Sereni-Tree.

"Docking clamps released!" Quincey's voice echoes throughout the ship.

TheRealMe, still tiny, looks up at the rest of the crew. "Ahem. Would one of you mind carrying me up to the bridge? This shrinking tech won't wear off for at least another hour."

**jake7 grabs the tiny TRM and heads for the bridge. She drops him off on the console so he can see what he's doing and interact with Jet.**

Ok, you should be good there until you start resizing.

Jet? I'm not sure how fast he's going to re-size, so keep your eye on him. You may need to get him off the console in a hurry.

I'm off to the gun turret.

**jake7 runs down the hall and gets into her turret. She sets about warming up the gun in preparation for a fight, should one reach the 'TREE.**

After carefully being set down on one of the bridge consoles, TheRealMe's tiny form starts jumping up and down on various control surfaces. He calls up to the pilot dome: "Bride5! Engage the Somebody Else's Problem field! That will render us effectively invisible."

"Roger!" Quincey replies from above.

Sereni-tree shakes with the impact of a near-miss.

"Bride4! Are those engines warmed up yet?"

From engineering, Jet's voice comes over the com: "There seems to be a slight problem."

We must interrupt this perilous interlude for an announcement!

On May 27, 2004, Ebonezer started the thread called "The I am not a guy club". That became Thread 1 of the Adventures of the Sereni-Tree.

Today is our fifth anniversary!

Best regards to all!

Yes, ThatWeirdGirl once demonstrated to some of us at Dragon*Con the proper drinking of Pepsimilk!

Speaking of Ebo, she tried Pepsimilk once, with less-than-stellar results. She proclaimed it to be "the Devil".

Perhaps she had the mix wrong. Or perhaps she tried Coke-milk by mistake.
