PATD II

[jasoom]

"Really great looking tree!" jas says, while he admires the Ceremonial bonecrest, way at the top, & smiles appreciatively at the "6" Babylon 5 Action figures and the shimmering Vorlon ship gracing the sturdy looking branches of the festive tree.

"Now, lets see" jas thinks to himself as he surveys a likely spot for his ornament. Finding a particularly sturdy looking branch, lower to the floor, jas walks over to it carrying a packing box. He pulls out some excelsior packing material and gently reaches in the box for one of his favorite ornaments. It is a large spherical object, kind of glowing, that looks like a large festive Christmas tree bulb. In reality it is a cherished gift jas received from a Soul Hunter. The 'soul container' orb, jas explained, contains the souls of a very prominent Minbari actors guild troop. If one gets close enough to the large bulb ornament, one can hear the acting troop doing their 'road version' of the 'Battle of the Line'.

"There!" jas says, backing away slowly & taking in the full view.

"Now for some refreshments"!

"I don't have any solution, but I certainly admire the problem"

[Valen]

Valen walks over and carefully places the TRILUMINARY on top of the tree.
(yes, I know... the tree topping should be placed on last. But I didn't want to run the risk of someone placing a FAKE one on the PATD tree.)

Ok... nobody touch the thing. Off limits! That's means you to PC!

Walking over to his table, Valen sets down and pours himself a cup of coffee...

"I am a Ranger! We walk in the dark places no others will enter. We stand on the bridge and no one may pass. We live for the One, we die for the One!"

[Nommy]

Rantarn made a signiturte??? I don C no Stinkin signiture!


Nomad pulls out his key of Light and pulls a tab off the side of it. He presses the button after aiming it at the tree...a small glowing swirling mass appears in the middle of the tree. Everyone looks at Nommy then at the tree again.

"WHAT?...it was a gift from a friend of mine. His name is Quinn Mallory, so don't touch it unless you want to find the CroMag PATD. hehe"

[sindatur]

An eerie hush falls over the PATD (Which is extremely rare with this crowd), as they all look at awe into the vortex, when all of a sudden....

[ProfCrash]

Hearing Valen's challenge, PC appeared out of no where. "I loves to live dangerousily"

Hanging an Michigan State National Champions 2000 on the tree, PC grinned evily at Valen

"See ya on the other side." she said as she grabbed the triluminary and dived through the vortex...

[Rantarn]

Put the tree topper on last? Maybe in a place where they sleep on slanted beds but around here the tree topper is supposed to go on first. Ummm...of course, that's kind of a moot point now.

[Rowyn]

*The lurker, Rowyn, cautiously approaches the Christmas tree. She whips out a small replica of the USS TRISKELION and hangs it in an inconspicuous place on the tree. Glancing around, she slips out of the room. The PATD has always made her nervous.*

[AsIs]

Great ornament Rowyn!

*AsIs moves to the tree and puts a mini replica of George (the sacred bat of yadda yadda...)on the tree*

What a nice tree this is turning into. Anyone see where Crash went?

[Bmat]

Bmat admires the tree and smiles at the memories it invokes. She places her ornament, a tiny stuffed bear, toward the back of the tree.

[Cosmic]

Cosmic and Tandara arrive at the PATD carrying a small box of ornaments. Taking the lid off, Cosmic stares in disbelief at one of the "ornaments".

"What's that doing in here, woman?"

"I'm gonna hang it on the tree! See? I even tied a Christmas bow around it!"

"Tan, surely you jest...."

"But CT, it even glows in the dark when you turn it on!"

Cosmic just stared at the Warrior Babe.

"It's a Christmas tree, woman...Put that thing back in the box.."

"Oh, ok...geeze!!", Tan grumbles. She tosses the "ornament" back in the box and selects a miniature of the B5 station while Cosmic hangs up a small replica of the Temple of Valen.

As they stand back to admire the other ornaments, Cosmic notices Valen, just sitting there, oblivious to all around him while he sips his coffee, and whispers to Tan,
"Wonder why Valen hasn't put anything on the tree yet?"

We live for the One, we die for the One....yeah, right!
