Setting: The Fellip Nectar Stand

Characters: FS crew, FNS Regulars

Guests of Honor: PKLibrarian and BigNoseBob

**

[The FNS Regulars are lazily decorating the somewhat deserted Stand with the Farscape crew. Talyn and Moya are off running errands…as well as taking PKLibrarian and Big Nose Bob out on the prowl for distraction. The Blue Goo is being consumed, the huge monstrous double birthday cake is being frosted, and Rygel is snurching through the accumulating pile of gifts by the door. Yep, it’s birthday season again.]

Jool: [Crinkles nose in confusion at John.] “So you send helpless children out into the wilderness to search for presents of little or no value? And we wonder why humans are so useless.”

John: [Raises an eyebrow.] “I don’t even know why I bother.”

Aeryn: [Walks past with bundle of gifts in her arms.] “Stop talking. We need to get this party going before Moya and Talyn get back with the guests of honor.”

[Chiana and D’Argo glance at each other and then to the FNS Regulars among them.]

NIBB: [Nudges player in ribs.] “The NIBBfizz delivery pod is here. Tons of Blue Birthday Goo via yours truly. Wanna help me unload it?”

Player: [Glances towards BamaGirl who is drinking with Crais at the bar.] “Ah…sure. As long as it doesn’t take too long. I don’t wanna leave Bama here alone.”

[NIBB and player head off to the back entrance of the stand.]

Rygel: [Zooms past LeatherGirl, Gbbarb1 and Xenajules2 at the pie stand near the bar.] “Hehehe. I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy these frivolous celebrations.” [As he scoops up a pie to conceal within his thronesled, Xenajules2 splatts him in the face with a chocolate éclair pie. Rygel growls, rubs off the tasty treat with a pleased expression, and zooms towards the cake.]

Xenajules2: [Wipes hands together with a satisfied grin.] “I always wanted to do that.”

GBBarb1: “Whew…thought we would have gotten into a full blown pie fight. We’ve gotta ration them until everybody gets here!”

LeatherGirl: [Glances towards the towering cake.] “Rygel! Look out!”

[Rygel suddenly veers straight into the cake, spilling cake, frosting, and cherries in every direction. ICD rests in the remains, smiling as beautifully as ever. Rygel veers away from him in fright but finds himself devouring into a large pile of sugary confections.]

Chiana: “Dren! Now what are we going to do? I worked on that frelling thing for a weeken!”

GreenPixi: [Meanders her way into the Stand with a huge cake balancing on a cart.] “Have no fear, GreenPixi is here!”

[Inhabitants of bar gather around to gape at the huge cake. Almost the size of a baby leviathan, the cake is smothered with chocolate and vanilla Blue Goo frosting. The cake batter within has been soaked in Fellip Nectar and tiny sprinkles of fluffables decorate the exterior. A holo-image of Moya, Talyn, and the Farscape crew is stationed at the very top of the cake with a message in green frosting underneath, reading: “With Love, Scapers and Crew”. As a personal touch, GreenPixi adds a little pixi towards the bottom tier of the cake and steps back with a grand smile.]

Aeryn: [Before anyone can even ask.] “I’ll secure Rygel in the Storage Facility.”

[Rygel tries to protest but Aeryn snatches him up and walks off. The large central view screen begins to flicker with previous Farscape episodes. A few teaser scenes from the Final Four episodes have also found their way into the mix. Pilot and the Leviathans gather on the stage and begin playing a UT tune while Chiana and Jool add finishing touches to the beverage table. Fireflash enters with her pet dragon, Lila and places some gifts onto the staggering gift pile. A few Scapers enter in behind her, already pumped up and ready to party. NIBB and player place the drums of Goo onto the floor near the bar and step back to gape at them. The drums are painted to resemble birthday cakes—one with PKLibrarian’s name upon it and the other with BigNoseBob’s name on it. The DRDs from Moya and Talyn begin dancing around the large dance floor with tiny little cone-shaped hats upon their heads. Stark sets up a booth near the back of the Stand preparing to do some magic tricks. He’s somewhat see-through, considering he isn’t really there in the first place. The rest of the Scapers and several different species of aliens enter into the Stand leaving standing room only. And the FS crew and FNS Regulars are lined up at the bar, taking down their first mini flasks of Kylian Fectar in anticipation.]

Everyone: “Happy birthday BigNoseBob!!!!”

[In walks PKLibrarian, surprised and nearly scared drenless. Crowd groans, realizing they surprised the wrong birthday person and return to their drinks. Crais approaches her and places an arm around her waist to be her official escort for the evening. PKLibrarian is led to the bar and handed a flask of Blue Goo Celebration Mix.]

LeatherGirl: “Happy Birthday PKLibrarian! Help yourself to some Raslak custard compliments of Fireflash. And the Drinking games have begun at the usual booth over there. And as soon as BigNoseBob gets here, we’re gonna start the treasure hunt. Have a blast, you deserve it!”

PKLibrarian: “Treasure Hunt?” [Eyes sparkle and she is pulled away before she can ask about it.]

[Several lemon meringue pies and fluffables fly past PKLibrarian’s head as a pie fight begins to get underway.]

Giggling_Star: [Hugs PKLibrarian as she encounters her in the crowd.] “It’s your birthday and you’re another year older…just thought I’d remind you of that! I have but one thing to say to you, my fellow scaper, may you live long and…oh wait wrong show! Ahem, what I meant to say was Scape On my friend and Farscape forever, oh, and of course, happy birthday!”

Fireflash: “Hey PKL! Happy birthday, have lots of fun, and get very, very drunk!”

Crais: “Not a problem tonight, I’m sure.”

[PKL and Crais carry on through the crowd, every now and again being stopped by a fellow well-wisher. Suddenly, BigNoseBob enters into the stand, without warning. The chocolate sprinkles meant for PKL are released over him, showering him in goodness. He shrieks and runs into the stand…right into the arms of Aeryn.]

Everyone: “Happy birthday…PKLibrarian!” [Some are already too wasted to realize they should have corrected themselves.]

D’Argo: [Hands a food cube carving of a Qualta Blade to BNB before being dragged off by Jool to the dance floor.] “Hey…find LeatherGirl…there’s a treasure hunt…happy birthday…!”

BNB: “Gee, ah, thanks big D.”

John: [Pats BNB on the back as he passes him by.] “Have a good one, my man. And lay off my woman, will ya?”

[Aeryn drags BNB away as she glares at John and leads him to the bar where Chiana, Rygel, LeatherGirl, Crais, and PKLibrarian are involved in a drinking game with Raslak shooters.]

Chiana: “So I said Frell! I’m not going to frelling find him in this frell of a hezmana planet. No frelling way!” [Giggles as each person has to take a drink every time the word “frell” is mentioned.]

PKLibrarian: “Hey Big Nose Bob! Join in on the fun! You know it’s the responsibility of your friends to make sure the birthday boy is incapable of walking out of their party under their own power. I just joined in, but LeatherGirl, Chiana, and Rygel have been here a while.”

LeatherGirl: “Frell…Big Nose Bob! Hap…hap…birthday…it’s yours you know. Hehehe. Oh, sorry! Treasssure hunt. Yeah. You and PKL…find the big prize.” [Head plops down on the bar as she passes out cold.]

BNB: “Prize? Did she say prize?” [Rubs hands together in anticipation.] “Oh boy…gimme a map and I’ll be on my way!”

Crais: [Shakes LG.] “Sorry, Big Nose Bob, she’s out.”

Aeryn: “Here, I know exactly what we have to do. Moya prepared a star chart…well a Stand floor map for us to follow. All we need to do is follow the trail of food cubes to the….”

Rygel: [Guiltily.] “Food cubes? Hehe. Frell…I thought those had fallen out of someone’s stash. I frelling ate them all!” [Group takes more swigs of Raslak shooters.]

PKL: [Raises hands.] “Now what!”

[Stand begins to shake violently and the guests of honor race to their beloved birthday cake to keep it from toppling over. The shaking ceases and the beat goes on. Nobody seems to care about the mysterious shaking at this point. More pies fly through the air.]

Fireflash: [Rushes past BNB with Lila on her shoulder.] “Happy birthday! Have lots more frelling good years of loads of laughter and a hezmana of a lot of Raslac!” [Group in the drinking game takes another swig of Raslak shooters.]

PKL: [Hands BNB a present.] “Here…this is just in case we don’t survive this dren.”

[BNB proceeds to open it to find a scarf to keep his nose warm during the winter season. He smiles and thanks her.]

BNB: “Hey thanks. Well, here, PKLibrarian…just in case our cake doesn’t make it, I got you a really big food cube cake. May it last you for many birthdays to come.”

[PKL smiles and receives the gift. The two then realize that the treasure hunt must have led to the huge faltering pile of gifts near the entrance. They meander through the crowd, only able to see the very tip of the pile. A large Scarran suddenly appears before them, preventing them from advancing any further. Without warning, Aeryn fires at the Scarran at the same time that BNB spears the food cube Qualta blade through the Scarran’s stomach. The Scarran drops to the floor instantly and BNB and PKL nod in appreciation towards Aeryn. They then continue on. Suddenly, several pumpkin pies fly past at hech 10, nearly slicing their heads off. They duck in fear and crawl along the floor. Several alien’s feet nearly knock them unconscious with their fowl smell so the two are forced to stand up once again. Unfortunately, the Blue Goo from the drums has spilled and begins to spark in a pool in front of them. A nearby Scaper accidentally spills a drop of Kylian Fectar and BOOM! The Stand shakes once more. PKL and BNB are covered in blue soot, their hair raised from the blast. They look to each other, wipe their faces and step carefully over the explosive Blue Goo. They can see the pile of gifts now…it’s so close they can smell the synthetic fibers used to wrap the gifts. A rambunctious group of drunken Scapers waddles in front of them, nearly carrying them along with them. PKL and BNB struggle and finally break free of the mob to stand before their glorious treasure. The gifts even appear to glow in a mysterious light. To their dismay, however, Rygel has planted himself among the wrapped gifts in search of anything of value.]

BNB: “Hey Rygel…is that a female Hynerian?”

PKL: “I smell Hynerian Mojules!”

[Rygel, distracted, looks up and zooms away as quickly as possible in the direction that PKL and BNB point. The guests of honor then smile to each other and jump into their pile of gifts, rolling around in them and laughing until tears roll down their cheeks. The music in the stand grows louder, the Scapers and aliens become more intoxicated, and the huge birthday cake begins to be distributed throughout the Stand.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PKLIBRARIAN AND BIGNOSEBOB!!!!
