THE FELLIP NECTAR STAND Really Quick Edition 3.1: Sand Sculptures

Disclaimer: Hey, even the Farscape creators are at the Big Bangalow this week so I can’t say they wouldn’t mind me borrowing their idea for a microt.  No profit besides a free drink was made on LeatherGirl’s behalf.

 

Thanks to NIBB for the Talyn Sand Sculpture! ;)

[The entire crew of Farscape, everyone from Aeryn to Zhaan’s Spirit, are crowded onto the purple sandy beach.  (If it wasn’t purple before, it changed colors…green water’ll do that.)  Specks of sparkling gold nuggets glint off the three shining suns.  Rygel is busily collecting these as Chiana, D’Argo, and Jool race against Aeryn, John, and Stark to create sand sculptures.  Crais and Scorpius are the officiators while Pilot scoops out sand from the beach for the crew to use.  Zhaan’s Spirit is cheering on with Talyn and Moya.]

 

Stark:  [Grabbing a handful of sand from Pilot.]  “Hurry!  We have to catch up to them or they’ll win and get the rest of the supply of Raslac!”

 

Aeryn: “Well, if you had another eye, maybe you’d be able to design our sculpture better.”

 

John:  [Leans back from their oddly shaped sculpture.]  “What is this supposed to be anyway?  I thought we were building my module.”

 

Stark:  “What?!  We’re building a shrine of Zhaan!”

 

Aeryn:  “No, we’re building a Prowler, you frelling idiots!”  [Slaps some sand onto the pile and the entire thing collapses.]

 

Chiana:  [Laughs.]  “Ha!  Their sculpture collapsed!”

 

D’Argo: “Don’t sit around and watch, Chiana, we need to work together if we want to get this done.”

 

Jool:  [Wipes sand out of her “shelf” area and sprinkles it away in disgust.  Rygel slides under the falling sand to catch it in a sachet.]  “Ugh!  Why did I agree to do this again?”

 

Chiana:  “Jool!  I found another one of your hairs in here.  You’ve got to try some new hair cleanser or I’m gonna…”

 

D’Argo:  “Chiana, Jool…the sculpture?  You know, the one that we’re trying to make look like Moya?  Let’s go girls.”  [D’Argo rolls his eyes at the fighting woman.]

 

Scorpius:  [Hisses.]  “I honestly don’t understand how these beings can live with each other.  Such a meaningless simple task as this one should be easier than loading a pulse pistol.”

 

Crais:  “I don’t even know why I bothered teaming with you to judge these idiots.  Hey, did Pilot give John’s team more sand than D’Argo’s?”  [Crais charges over to speak with Pilot.]

 

Zhaan’s Spirit:  [Meanders over to Scorpius.] “Who do you think will win?”

 

Scorpius:  “As long as John obeys me, I’ll let him win for all I care.”

 

[Moya and Talyn listen in on all the different conversations that take place before them and shake their bodies in disgust.  They hover up and zoom past the crowd, blasting the sand in every direction.  As the crew shouts in anger, Talyn and Moya emit blue laser beams into the center of the beach.  An instant sand sculpture of Moya, Talyn, and every bystander on the beach is formed in a perfect organized setting.  Everything is down to scale.  The competitors and onlookers glance from one to another, shake their heads, and head for the Big Bangalow to drink the place dry.]

Thanks for reading scapers!  Who knows when the crew will go back to the Uncharted Territories.  They’re beginning to like the Big Bangalow more and more!  Who knows, maybe they’ll even have a wet T-shirt contest.  Oh boy, I can just see John trying to explain that one to them!
