IC: The Captain was truly a sight to behold in her resplendent, lace and velvet dress with a huge skirt. She looked like she had gotten lost on her way to a period drama. As her ‘guards’ took care of the offensive ‘Jack’ And the new person that was poor Ralin and Pilar, the Alert sounded.

Willow scowled at the computer and again turned to the NE who had managed to change the alert colour. “Cease that noise immediately!” She barked sending him flying back to the computer panel nearest him. An engineer of sorts it seemed.

About that time, Tell started to feel a bit woozy… His life slowed, he smelled colors and tasted the queen’s words and they tasted like tea and roses. After a moment the feeling passed and he came to, feeling very much terrified of the woman and wanting to make sure what ever she wished to be red was painted red.

Ralin became even more disorientated, finally losing his balance and falling onto his back on the floor as he aimlessly waved his arms above his head. “Red? Red! It simply must be red!” he exclaimed in a quite changed voice, more lyrical and confidently composed than before. He sat up and looked down at his uniform in disgust. “Red, not yellow! Yellow is no good at all! No, no, no.” With that he began frantically tearing at his uniform until his jacket and undershirt were vanquished along with any hint of yellow, leaving his torso covered only by a sleeveless grey vest.

This seemed to please the Queen.”Indeed Jack…well done I approve of the bold choice. Bring our new friend a tunic befitting the Jack of Hearts!” she bellowed at the court.

Ensign Ralin Tell - Playing Card

Over the din and the confusion Willow spotted the newly arrived Alexis and pointed her fan at the Doctor. “You! You there in blue…such a strange colour…you are not a card. Tell me are you the huntress?” She pursed her lips and waited as a hush fell over her assembled ‘court’ waiting to see what Alexis would do.

Alexis looked around her....what in the 9 worlds was going on here? Cards? A queen in red? She looked around getting her bearings. She wracked her brain, who was the huntress? She couldn’t remember. Either way she was going to go with it. “I am the huntress, and I have prey that I need to get.” That prey was the captain. She had no idea what bizarre fever they all had but she’d sedate them all if necessary…but she’d have to stay far enough away and hopefully not catch what they had.

Willow smiled widely at Alexis. ”Oh what a joy. Come…tell us tales of your exploits. Of the evil prey you stalk. Perhaps it is the bandersnatch? Or some other prowling creature that taints this land. Sit with us and tell us your story.”

She now sat on a singular bench, her back to the observation window, all the better to survey the crowd that had gathered and those she entertained. ”MORE WINE!” she called.

Alexis did not sign up for this craziness. Where was the army of counselors from the Ogawa? She walked forward slowly the probe from the tricorder hidden in her hand. “I shall tell the story of the first man I hunted down.” She launched into quite the epic ballad of The Highwayman. (listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI_PMcFnZZw). While she sang she moved about discretely taking readings with the tricorder probe of those with ‘the queen’ and her court.

Willow seemed very pleased with this turn of events. She smiled and clapped her hands quietly along with the song as the woman entertained the court. She was unaware of the scans being done.

(OoC:Geoff can we get some mental patients scan results please?)

By this stage, Ralin had staggered away to a replicator on the distant side of the promenade. His face was illuminated by an uncharacteristic wide grin and wild eyes. Seconds later, after angrily inputting an elementary security override, he possessed a crate of the largest size the device was capable of synthesising. Without delay he removed its lid and heaved it over his head, drenching his head and shoulders in sticky, bright red jam.

Soon enough Tell had swayed back to the centre of the action, gummy mush slowly running down his exposed skin, and pushed his way through the forest of bodies to find his queen. As soon as he came face to face with her, he bowed performatively. Also appreciating Bonner’s performance, he took up a position beside Willow. He looked quite the ridiculous sentinel, even more so as he swayed to wide angles as he drank in the song.

Ralin Tell - Three of Clubs

OOC: First off, Jen wins the GM’s Pet of the Month Award by dropping a Loreena McKennitt reference, even if she did leave out some of the verses that make things a little more clear.

WOOT! I’m Pet of the Month!!!! That was the most complete version I could find to music. LOL Up next....

IC: The scans of the queen were consistent with lysergic acid diethylamide or psilocybin poisoning, activating many clusters of the brain all at once including those responsible for the sense of self and the sensory processing centers. She was, quite insane, though maybe it was all one big hallucination that took over her re-reality?

Oh yes what code was it again? Red. The station decided it was code red.

Alexis read the results while finishing the first ballad. She needed more time. Continuing her facade of the huntress. “I am so glad, my queen, that you enjoyed that tale. This next tale, is about a lady I had to track down who escaped from her prison. She came to…” she attempted to draw out the emotion…she was not an actress, “unfortunate end.” She grinned wickedly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80-kp6RDl94

She moved about the room and to a table, hiding her movements. Did she have what she needed in the med kit to counteract the lysergic acid diethylamide or psilocybin poisoning. And could she get it into everyone’s drink or would she have to fight to get a hypo to everyone? And who could she send the information to? She hadn’t even checked in on board yet. She sent the results from the tricorder to the main med bay and hoped that someone would see the results on the main screen in sickbay and do something with it.

OOC: Okay so I have NO idea what thread I should cross post that to

Again this seemed very much to be to the Queen’s approval. She clapped enthusiastically like a four year old would do and when Alexis was done she smiled. ”You are a clever huntress indeed to have survived such tales of daring. You must tell us another! We find you to be thoroughly entertaining.” she spared a look at the now Jam covered Ralin. Yes that was better.

”you there come take up the fan service.” she said as the NE holding the fan currently looked dumfounded and scared, she pointed at her. ”You are slow…take her away. Take hertk the Jabberwocky she is good for little else…” she waved a hand dismissively and another two NEs did just that, dragging the shrieking woman away between them down a corridor and out of sight.

Alexis was totally horrified. What was a Jabberwocky? Another story? Oh goodness, think Alexis....Gilgamesh. Yes that was a particularly bloody tale. (OOC Please assume she sings it in a language that is understood). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTsFe1PVs

Alexis begins to move around again taking scans of anyone around her and then sending them on to sickbay. She hoped there was someone there that could use the information. After that song she bowed before the captain/queen/whoever she was. “Alas, my queen I am after prey tonight. Perhaps you would be so kind as to allow me to finish my hunt and then return to tell you the tale?” Maybe she could find another sane person on this crazy star base.
