Boldy going where no geek has gone before.

Bridge of the Starship Enterprise
The bridge is dominated by the viewscreen, on which is a subtle pattern that could likely be deciphered by one who took a closer look. Lights blink on the nifty border-type thing around it. Matter of fact, lights blink in a lot of places. There are two stations near the front of the bridge, and several others at random locations. The captain's chair is centrally located. Don't sit in it unless you're bald and named Jean-Luc.

Exits lead to turbolifts

Riley has arrived.

Clara tosses a tribble. ;)

Riley oohs and flops into a chair. "I've always wanted to be on this show." He aaaaacks and catches the tribble. It acks too. See, Riley really -is- a Klingon.

Riley oohs, "We should add Klingon to the language box."

Clara oohs and nodnods.

Riley surreptitiously passes out guns that shoot little foam discs.

Niko yays!

Clara aaaaaacks! Nightmares of nephews at Christmas! *hummm* *kuhthwack kuhthwack kuhthwack*

Niko gets this fearsome stapler flashback. ;)

Clara snickers. Aren't you glad Clara uses a nice quiet resonator? ;)

Niko snickers a lot. Oh, yeah. Gee. Lots of fun. (Poor Niko. I really am -evil- to him.)

Riley does a commando roll over the back set of consoles yelling something wild and Kamikazee and destroying Jean Luc for all time. Now he gets the chair.

Niko nonono. Destroy Kirk! Then you get the chair -and- rid the world of horrible, bad singing. ;)

Clara perks up and lets out a rebel yell of her own, thwacking Uhura over the head and dragging her off to the elevator. My ear thingie! Ack...Kirk singing?

"But Kirk is useful for such suave lines as, 'What does God need with a Starship?'" Riley flops sideways in the chair, "To which I answer, 'To freak out her friends on Apr 1st."

Niko gapes. You've not seen the Shatner Singalong page? Lisa, you're deprived! I'll find it. You haven't lived til you've heard Shatner singing Mr. Tambourine Man. *LOL!*

Clara looks pretty horrified, yup. "Hey, does this thing run on a walnut sized engine? Oooh, website!"

Niko says, "Walnuts! Run with engines the size of starships!"

Riley grins, "Actually we have a miniature giant space hamster named Boo back there in a wheel."

Clara just collapses snickering. This is really, really awful. Bad Shatner. Someone should shoot whoever agreed to produce this.

Niko snickers. Leila's looking really traumatized, this is hysterical.

Clara ooohs. The one of Scotty singing isn't too bad though.

Riley just loses it at the end of Mr Tamborine man, and stereo Scotties.

Clara swoons. Patrick Stewart -and- Prokoviev.

Niko drops a hyperactive little ferret-knight on the bridge.

Riley picks up his feet so as to retain toes.

Clara squeals and jumps up atop the science station. "Does he nibble?"

Niko snickers. Uh, he chomps.

Clara stays up here, yup. Ferret chomps look painful. ;)

Riley snickers, "He is death ferret, hear him roar. ( I didn't just bit one, I didn't just bote a thousand, I bit -ten thousand-! And I was good at it! )

Clara laughs! "Hey, ferret bombs! Let the enemy be nibbled to death!"

Clara has this image of little paratrooper ferrets now...

Niko snickers. "Fighting fer-rets from the skyyyy!"

Riley says, "It's somewhat problematic that the spazzy evil one looks so -cuddly-. He's a wide load ferret."

Clara aaawws. "Does he cuddle at all?"

Riley snickers, "Not right now he doesn't. He's -spazzing-."

Clara has never seen a hyper ferret. I've always seen them asleep.

Riley snickers, "They have two modes. Asleep, and spazz pretty much."

Niko is going to have to strangle them soon. *snicker*

Clara grins. Sounds like my cat, except he has a third mode: "I am the almighty cat and you -will- pay attention and cuddle me -now-."

Niko yays! Cleo attacked the red can. Good ferret!

Clara peers? You're sure she wasn't trying to drink from it?

Niko shakes her head. She knocked it over. *snicker*

Niko peers. No... maybe she -did- drink it. Holy spazz!

Clara beams. Good ferret.

Niko snickers. She just did a kamikaze dive on Leila, then on the can.

Riley snickers, "I may be traumatized. Or I might just be laughing."

Clara snickers a lot. Probably both, would be my guess.

Aliana has connected.

Riley has taken over the Captain's chair and is holding the cowering officers of the Enterprise histage with a foam gun.

Aliana enters, armed with a wiffle bat.

Niko woo hoo! I haven't played wiffle ball in ages!

Clara zaps at Ali with her water pistol from a perch atop the science station...still keeping her feet safe from random ferretage. And maybe wiffles. "What's wiffle ball?"

Niko grins. It's like baseball, only the ball and the bat are hollow plastic.

Kiwani has arrived.

Aliana tosses a small wiffle ball into the air and swings...Opps, missed.

Clara snaps off a shot at the wiffle ball too. And probably hits a panel somewhere beyond. *fizzlezap* Whoops.

Kiwani throws a wiffle ball at Patrick Stewart in the captain's chair. ;)

Niko aieee. No more zapping, I meanut!

Aliana dives for cover behind the nav station..She tried to zap my ball!

Riley acks and ducks the wiffle ball, as he has taken over the captain's chair. He uses his foam disc shooting gun toy to fire a barrage of small inoffensive thingies at Kiwi.

Kiwani eeeps and ducks the foam disc thingy and runs to get those two disc thingies her brother got for his birthday a few years ago. Unfortunately, both are quite broken! Oops.

Niko loves the foam disc shooting gun. I want one of those, very much.

Kiwani rigs up the broken foam disc things her brother got for his birthday a few years ago and attempts to return fire. No dice/discs. Doh.

Kiwani randomly starts pushing buttons. *sizzleCRACK* Oops, hope that panel didn't explode in anybody's face. At least, not in the face of somebody who isn't wearing red. That'd be bad.

Aliana peeks over the edge of the station...then starts to stealthily stalk her ball...which just so happens to have landed at Niko's feet.

Clara acks and starts zapping at Kiwi with her watergun. Hope there's not -too- much electrical panels behind her. And a shot for Niko too. He's a duck, he needs water.

Kiwani lights up all pretty-like and sizzles.

Niko acks and hides from random balls and water and other evil. Yeah. I'll hide behind the chair, and Riley can call me "Number One".

Aliana oohhhs at the Kiwi-tree...Is it that time already?

Riley shoots foam discs at Niko. Just call Nick, Will.

Clara hoorays! I want to be an elf!

Niko aieee!

Riley says, "Fire at Will! ;)"

Niko says, "No, no, no! Fire at the guys in red!"

Clara is already snapping off random damp rounds at neo-Will. "Who's wearing red?"

Kiwani ponders, "Does mauve count as red?"

Aliana is not wearing red in any shape or form.

Riley uh-ohs, "Ummm, Security was the red-shirts."

Niko eek. Gee. Time to go to Arby's. ;)

Riley goes into the corner to get eaten by a Horta.

Kiwani thinks we need a Kiwizoid race of greenish fruit-like people. <-- Random comment.

Clara peers at the Horta, then trades water for really bad perfume in the water pistol and shoots it between the eyes. Evil ol' monster.

Aliana acks as the aroma of the wonderful perfume fills the bridge...Clara!!

Clara tries to look innocent and hides the water gun behind her back. "I didn't do it! Nobody saw me do it! Can't prove anything!"

Kiwani snifffffs and falls over in a faint.

Riley's uniform is semi-digested into a pair of bermuda shorts and a t-shirt that says, "I got eaten by a horta, and all I got was this lousy shirt."

Niko LOL.

Aliana falls over.

Kiwani rolls! Still fainted from the perfume, of course.

Clara peers down at the rolling Kiwi. "Look out for chomping ferrets."

Aliana brings out a big fan from one of the hidden compartments and aims it towards the Horta and turns it on...full power.

Kyara has connected.

Niko pokes at a few knobs, and Shatner's rendition of "Mr. Tambourine Man" fills the bridge.

Riley aaaaaahhhghs and pelts Niko with foam discs, "You are not my brother!"

Niko is not the brother you are looking for?

Kyara backs slooowwwwly away.

Riley re-claims the captain's chair by dint of smearing pudding on Jean Luc's bald head and causing the scary bald man to flee screaming.

Kyara woohoos! "New victim!"

Riley fires foam discs at Roland from his perch in the captain's chair.

Roland guesses, since his character's temporarily blind, that he'll be Geordi LaForge?

Tara has connected.

Riley is Dr. Who, really, I'm just visiting. My TARDIS is in the corner. See the fluffy hair?

Roland offers Riley an open bag. "JellyBelly?"

Tara peers at Dr. Who in the Captain's chair, and cackles softly. This guy should be a pushover...

Riley is President elect of the High Council of Timelords, master of the laws of time! He's no pushover! Err, actually he is, but look! Meet his friend Mr. Dalek!

A Dalek wheels in and blasts Tara with his beam weapon, 'EX-TER-MI-NATE'!

Tara sniffles. "Ow."

Riley snags a JellyBelly and offers Jelly Babies in return.

Roland grabs a couple Jelly Babies and tries to decide which is better... hmm...

Kyara ers, "Don't the Jelly Parents object?"

Riley naaahs, "I bribe them well with melange."

Kyara shakes her head slowly. "Oh well. Always thought blue eyes were cute."

Roland icks. "Fremen are cool, but those Still Suits look uncomfortable. All that rubber..."

Riley noddles, "Yeah, latex clothing just -ain't- my thing. Getting a handbag to match is just impossible."

Tara perks up. "Hey now, rubber is cool. Ranks right up there with skimpy leather, and squeaks better. I could do without the nose ring... er, plugs, though."

Roland nods. "The book said the plugs left large calluses."

Tara says, "Bet they got the /worst/ nosebleeds in the meantime."

Roland shakes his head. "Fremen clot very quickly."

Clara returneth and plasters a highly overdecorated and gaudily colored Access form across the viewscreen. Muahahaha!

Niko aieeee!

Kyara hides behind Dr. Who!

Riley acks, "Must ... not ... view ... screen!"

Tara directs the Dalek toward Clara.

Niko ohnos! "He's turned into Kirk!"

Riley is talented, "Want to hear me sing Mr. Tambourine Man?"

Niko pelts Riley with Jello eggs.

Clara acks and fires her watergun on both Dalek and Riley-Kirk. "Beware the bad perfume!" *squeakiesqueakiesqueakie*

Riley ahhhcks, "I oiled your mold and this is the thanks I get!?"

Tara, trying to emulate Clara, fires Jello shots at Riley.

Clara really, really hopes Riley is talking to Niko, somehow.

Niko? Mold? Of -course- Riley isn't talking to me. I was hoping one of -you- knew what he meant. Maybe he's been sniffing something? ;)

As a last ditch effort Riley programs the ship's speakers to play 'I Am a Pioneer'. Molds, he meant -molds-, Niko's player's now oily Jello Molds.

Roland acks at Riley. "Please tell me it's the Japanese version?"

Kyara says, "Sounds like slippery penicillin. Easier to swallow?"

Niko snickers at Kya.

Riley nope, nope, nopes, "The horrid bouncy -glorious- American version! You can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed, got to live the life, you create inside your head!"

Roland whips out the ducttape and lunges at Riley

Niko peers. Duct tape, latex, and oil. What conversationalists we are today.

Kyara is outa here if y'all start talking about whips and chains. :)

Riley is a techie, he fears not duct tape. He does however fear rubber ducks. So maybe he's an idiot.

Riley in fact subjects Niko's player to the MP3 of said song. Bwahahahaha!

Niko snickers. Of course, I -asked- to hear it again.

Roland ughs. "Thanks for mental images. Uhm, I'm gonna go kill people. Idle."

Riley snickers and shhhs, "You are ruining my evil image."

Clara hides under the science area, instead. "Duct tape and -latex-? I need to stop teaching. What is this song? Dr. Who?"

Niko says, "It is -happy-! No clue who it is, though."

Roland says, "Anime J-Pop."

Riley snickers, "It's the voice of Sasami from Tenchi Muyo singing this really -upbeat- cheesy song. It's the Otaku theme song."

Clara ooohs! "This would explain why I'm clueless. Is it a .wav or .au on a website anywhere?"

Riley has it on mp3, it's too long for a .wav. I ripped it from my actual CD. I can ICQ it over?

Clara beams and showers Riley with chocolate and bats her eyelashes. "Please?"

Riley beams and is more than happy to inflict this song on others.

<OOC> Leila rolls, "These rock! There's a Sondheim Major general one!"

Kyara dances wildly, doing a tapdance on Riley's curly head! "My copy of Assassins is in!"

Riley yoooooows!

Niko yays. :)

Tara offers Riley slippery penicillin.

[And everyone goes off to get ready for the ball ICly.]
