Avalon Station10410.03 - "Beyond the Rainbow - Episode 2"

Host Jules says:
When last we left our stalwart crew, they weren't in Kansas anymore.  An ugly witch has shown up and is menacing the CO and TO.  In a field not far away, the XO stands, not able to get down from his perch.

Host Jules says:
Not far from there, our narcissistic CSO is looking in a pool of water at himself.

Host Jules says:
And not far from there, the CMO is just coming up on OPS, who is a lot shorter and speaks in a very squeaky voice.

Host Jules says:
What will happen now???  Let's find out.

Host Jules says:

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::sitting on honches by the pool of water,  trying to figure out how to wag the tail::

CMO_Tinny says:
::in a field overlooking the pool of water.  Hears footsteps coming up behind her::

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::wakes up from a momentary blackout:: Self: What the.... ::looks at self:: I have to put in for extra hazard pay when I get back.... ::walks forward, noticing a glint of metal in the distance::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::looks at the witch standing before her raising a brow and putting her hand on her once phaser now water gun::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Toto:  Would you get a look at this winner!

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO:  What happened here, what have you done with her?

CMO_Tinny says:
::turns her head 180 degrees without moving her body, thinking this is an interesting facet::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO: What have you done with the Witch of the East?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  Well, apparently I squished her.  Got a problem?

CMO_Tinny says:
::focuses on the small person climbing the hill::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::eye catches the CMO's head spin::  CMO:  that was neat, do it again.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::smirks at Dorothy's response as she eyes the wicked witch::

CMO_Tinny says:
::turns again:: CSO: OH GO and admire yourself some more!  ::turns back::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda > Wicked Witch of the West:  Aren't you forgetting something?

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::comes up on the tin person:: Self: This construction of metal seems familiar for some reason...

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO: What?  :: glares at the goody two shoes ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::turns back to the pool of water::  CMO:  This mane makes me feel, oh I don't know, powerful.  ::grins::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Frustrated at the moment::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda > Wicked Witch of the West:  The Ruby Platforms?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  Well, this is my ship and we landed on your poor Wicked Witch of the East.

CMO_Tinny says:
::ignore the prissy lion cub and shouts down to OPS::  OPS: for heavens sake, can't you make those little legs of yours go a little faster and get your rear end up here?

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO: Oh Yeah!!!  :: runs over to the feet sticking out from under the ship ::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::admires his white fangs, tries his hand at a throaty growl::

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::stands agape:: CMO: ....?

CMO_Tinny says:
::foot behind her taps::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Aloud:   Grrrrrrrrooooooooowwwwwwwwll!!!!

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The Ruby Platforms disappear and the big hairy toes curl up under the ship

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Outloud:  Ewww.

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Out Loud:: Anybody: Heeeeelllllooooooo

CMO_Tinny says:
::raises her eyes towards the heavens:: To self: there will be no living with that man after this.::

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CMO: Forgive me, but...::realization dawns:: DOCTOR?!?!?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::wrinkles her nose:: Self: And I thought Klingon feet were bad.

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  Glenda:  What happened??  Where are they???

CMO_Tinny says:
OPS: Yes, am I not recognizable? I realize that I no longer have any female attributes..........::trails off::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda > :: points to the CO's feet ::  Wicked Witch of the West:  There they are and there they will stay.  :: grins as if...Got ya you hag ::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::Feels a bit taller::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO: Give them to me, you have no use for them.

CMO_Tinny says:
::sighs::: OPS: the CSO is just down the hill near the pond, we should at least travel together.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West: I didn't ask for them.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CMO: You look.... erm... fine... erm... sir. ::scratching his head:: Better than me anyway... not only am I short, but I have this strong urge to burst into song and dance...

Host Jules says:
<Glenda > CO:  She must want them very bad.  Don't give them to her.

CMO_Tinny says:
OPS: spare me the song and dance and lets find the rest of the crew.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::looks at Dorothy's feet then to the Wicked Witch. She positions herself slightly between the CO and the Witch::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Glenda:  Okay.

CMO_Tinny says:
::takes off down the small hill towards the CSO::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  Glenda:  You keep out of this or I'll......

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::eye catches a mouse in the meadow, pounces after it, trying to catch it between his paws::

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CMO: That's one medical order I have no problem following. ::begins to walk and sing::  Weee're off to find the CSO, the wonde--- ::glances back at CMO:: Oh, sorry. 

XO_Scarecrow says:
Anybody: HHHHeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooo

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::the mouse suddenly stops and stands up me and I jump back, afraid::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  Why do you want them so badly?  Did she borrow them without asking?

Host Jules says:
<Glenda > Wicked Witch of the West: You'll what...you have no power here....now shoo, before someone drops.....one of those things on you too.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
Self:  Ahhhhhh!

CMO_Tinny says:
::rolls eyes as they approach the CSO::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::tries to get away from the mouse, has to jump up in the air::  Mouse:  Go away!  Go away mouse!

CMO_Tinny says:
::quickly jumps to the side as the Lion scampers away from the mouse::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Can, can, can you kill, kill it.  Can you kill it?!

CMO_Tinny says:
::motions OPS to come forward:: OPS: don't be shy.

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>  CO:  It's true, I can't take care of you here and now as I'd like, but, you just try and stay out of my way.  I'll get you my pretty and your little.............uummmm....big dog too!

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Louder:: Anybody: Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooo

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::pulls out a Munchkin-sized pocketknife and skewers the mouse:: CMO: ::holding it up:: Aye, sir.

CMO_Tinny says:
::looks from the CSO to the tiny mouse and sighs again:: CSO: I'll .....::thinks twice, then hears someone close by holler::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
Wicked Witch of the West: Big dog?! ::growls and tries to go after the wicked witch::  Wicked Witch of the West: I'll show you big dog!

CMO_Tinny says:
ALL: Did you hear that?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  You watch out too or I'll get my companion after you.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Ahhhhh thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you...  

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A big puff of smoke appears and when it clears, the Wicked Witch of the West is still there.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  Just can't get away from us can you?

CMO_Tinny says:
::shakes head and begins to explore towards the sound:: Hello? Is anyone out there?

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> :: looks around confused ::  Self:  Why am I still here?

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CMO/CSO: Does anyone know why we are here?

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> All:  Everyone turn around....don't look.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::follows the CMO and OPS::  CMO/OPS:  More importantly, where are we going?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::turns just barely.::

CMO_Tinny says:
OPS: No idea. the last I remember was wrapped in strong arms before waking up here.

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Louder:: Anybody: HHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooo

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::raises a brow not at all impressed by the Wicked Witch::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West>:: runs off into the woods cursing under her breath ::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: I could've snapped her like a twig.

CMO_Tinny says:
::would run if she could, but hears a shout just down yonder in the paw paw patch:: ALL: come one, I think it might be one of our crew!

Host Jules says:
<Glenda>  CO/TO:  I'm afraid you've made a terrible enemy of her.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Yes, but I think we need to let this story play out.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::cleans mouse guts off his knife and pockets the knife again:: CSO: ::singing:: Weeee're going around in circles, round-and-a-round-and-a-round. We really ar---::abruptly stops, then follows CMO, embarrassed::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Glenda:  How do we get our missing crew back and leave this place?

CMO_Tinny says:
::turns her head 180 degrees and give OPS one of her withering looks:: OPS: put the MOUSE down and follow me!

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::smiles politely at OPS, thinking that only crazy people speak in song::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda>  CO:  I don't know, I don't know where you came from.  But the Wizard of Id might.

CMO_Tinny says:
::closes in on the last location of the shout::  ::aloud::  Helloooooo?  Anyone out there?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Glenda:  And, how do we find this Wizard of Id?

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::follows CMO::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Hears somebody:: Anybody: Hellooo

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::follow the CMO and OPS blindly, constantly checking his 6 to make sure there aren't any more mice coming after them::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda>  CO:  Just follow the Fushia Brick Road.

CMO_Tinny says:
::continues to shout:: Keep talking, we're trying to follow your voice.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Glenda:  Fushia?

XO_Scarecrow says:
All: Who's there?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::raises a brow:: Glenda: Why not the yellow one?

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  All these little people break into a song about following the Fushia Brick Road.

CMO_Tinny says:
::aloud:: It's the CMO, OPS, and the CSO

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::looks at all this singers and shakes her head.::

Host Jules says:
<Glenda>  TO:  Ran out of paint..

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Let's get this hunt on the road, the Fushia road that is.

XO_Scarecrow says:
CMO: Doctor?

XO_Scarecrow says:
CMO: Hurry I am over here.

XO_Scarecrow says:
CMO: The only bonehead stuck on a stick

CMO_Tinny says:
::aloud:: shouts, we're almost there, keep talking::  wondering who we've found::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: After you Dorothy.  And for the record, those red platforms are very becoming on you. ::holds back a slight laugh::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Did he say stick on a stick?  ::laughs a little::

CMO_Tinny says:
::pushes through the corn stalks:: ALL: Stay close, don't wanna lose Shorty, here.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::follows::  

XO_Scarecrow says:
CMO: Doctor, This way I am over here.

CMO_Tinny says:
::finally pushes the tallest corn stalk to the side and laughs::  All: XO on a stick is exactly what we found ::giggles::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  As if I'll be able to walk dignified in them.  :: follows the Fushia road to whatever.::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::looks and laughs out loud::

CMO_Tinny says:
::wipes the tears flowing from her eyes from laughing so hard, after all, she doesn't want to rust!::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::and purrs::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::follows behind the CO trying not to laugh::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  As the CO and TO round a corner and the voices of the munchkins are fading away, they can see a scarecrow in a field.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::following CMO/CSO to XO's position:: XO: Commander! I would help but ::indicates his height deficiency, then looks down dejectedly::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::walks cautiously down the road looking for their other crew and looking back at those people who are still singing.::

XO_Scarecrow says:
CMO: Doctor, I don't believe this is a funny situation.

CMO_Tinny says:
::smiles:: XO: Okay, okay.........I apologize....here, let me help you down.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Who is that?  What do you see?

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::points to the scarecrow:: CO: What might I ask is that thing?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO/OPS:  Well, he's made of.... Straw?  How heavy can he be?

CMO_Tinny says:
::finds the nail that keeps the XO up on his pole and removes it::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Isn't that a scarecrow?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::they get closer.::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  CO and TO see the Scarecrow fall into the corn.

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Falls::

CMO_Tinny says:
CSO: I can't answer that, I didn't bring my tricorder ::fumes::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Tries to stand::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO:  It looked like a scarecrow but I've never heard of one falling into the corn before.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CSO: That works too. ::moves to help the XO get up::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Maybe it isn't alone.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
OPS:  Apparently

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Feels a little shaky and falls and bounces up::

CMO_Tinny says:
::grabs an arm to steady the XO and is horrified when some straw falls to the ground::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::they reach the cornfield looking for the scarecrow.::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  You all-right sir.  You seem to be coming apart at the seems.  ::laughs::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: Maybe some of the crew?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  I hope.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
::listens for anyone.::

XO_Scarecrow says:
CSO: Yes I am made of straw

CMO_Tinny says:
::bursts out laughing again::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Out loud:  Hello!

CMO_Tinny says:
::sounding all hallow and all::

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::picks some straw up and hands it to the XO::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
Out loud: Ollie ollie auction free!

CMO_Tinny says:
::hears someone else shout:: Hey, we're in here!

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CSO: I probably don't need to point this out to you, but all this is a series of scientific impossibilities...

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Hears someone holler:: All: Who Goes there?

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
All: That sounded like the Captain.... 

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
OPS:  More like a bad dream it is.

CMO_Tinny says:
::looks back at the lion:: CSO: What if it's someone who wants to hurt us? You're suppose to be strong and fierce.........PROTECT US!

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::goes to where she heard the voices from:: CO: Dorothy... this way.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  I'm not sure I'll be able to trot around the cornfield in this getup.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
CMO:  I can't explain it, but now I feel scared outta my mind

TO_Ens_Toto says:
CO: Just follow me and I'll make sure you can walk ma'am.

XO_Scarecrow says:
CSO: Get a hold of yourself

CMO_Tinny says:
::mutters under her breath:: coward.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Okay.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
Aloud:  Ollie olie alls in free!!!!

CMO_Tinny says:
::hears the TO and tries to think who Olie is and why isn't he free::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Recognizes the Voice:: All: Over here.

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
XO:  I can't...  I just want to go home...  I knew I should have stayed back on Avalon.   I just knew it.  Now look at what's happening to us!

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::comes up on the rest of the crew:: CO: Dorothy!  Look!

CMO_Tinny says:
::spies the TO and CO commin thru the corn::

XO_Scarecrow says:
CO: Cap........Captain?

CSO_LTjg_Hawkes says:
::feels his legs shaking::

CMO_Tinny says:
::hears a whisper coming through the corn:: "If you build it, he will come."

CMO_Tinny says:
::moves further away from the corn::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
XO:  Well hello there Mister Scarecrow.  Getta look at my threads.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::eyes the rest of the crew trying not to laugh::

CMO_Tinny says:
::raises eyes at the CO's getup and feels sorry for the TO::

XO_Scarecrow says:
CO: Looking good there captain, I have never seen you in a dress this is a first.

XO_Scarecrow says:
CO: But why would you wear a tablecloth?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
XO:  Apparently back in Earth's history this type of "tablecloth" dress was in style.  At least I'm still a humanoid.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::turns her back to the rest of the crew and starts laughing::

CMO_Tinny says:
::giggles:: All: Oooh, she dissed you!

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CO: And still normally-sized..... ::remembering protocol:: sir! 

XO_Scarecrow says:
CO: How are we gonna get me a brai........err get out of here?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  Apparently, Glenda, some type of witch said to the TO and I that we need to go see some Wizard of Id to help us get out of this place.

CMO_Tinny says:
::looks at the dog:: TO: I only have a little oil left in this oil can, so don't even THINK of tinkling on my feet

XO_Scarecrow says:
CO: Then Lets move on

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
CO: Witches and Wizards, sir? ::looks skeptical:: 

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A big red puff of smoke appears, when it clears, the crew can see a witch running out of the field opposite them to stand where the smoke is clearing.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  We need to follow this Fushia bricked road.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::coughs her laughing away and turns back around to face the rest of the crew:: ALL: Yeah and we have a clumsy witch after Dorothy as well.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  You again?

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Points: All: What in the Blue Hell is that?

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> CO:  Yes it me again.

CMO_Tinny says:
::gives the witch a mean look as she has no heart for such nonsense::

TO_Ens_Toto says:
XO: That would be the Wicked Witch.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::turns around to puff of smoke, and feels the instinct to cower::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> All:  So, you all are trying to help the little lady out huh?

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
Wicked Witch of the West:  What now?

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
Self: Wait... ::stands up and rejoins group::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> CO:  I'm getting to that.

CMO_Tinny says:
::trying to remember where her axe is::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  She wants my shoes, for one thing.

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> XO:  How about a little fire Scarecrow?

CMO_Tinny says:
::looks from the CO to the Wicked Witch of the West and thinks the Wicked Witch of the West has really wide feet and the shoes wouldn't fit anyway::

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
TO:  Get that water gun ready.

XO_Scarecrow says:
Wicked Witch of the West: Back off lady I am in a bad mood.

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::pulls out her water gun:: CO: Aye Dorothy ma'am.

CMO_Tinny says:
::stands next to the XO:: Yeah, beat it you Witch!

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> :: motions her hand like a ball and nothing appears. ::  Self:  Hmmmm  :: pulls out a bic lighter and catches the end of her broom on fire ::

XO_Scarecrow says:
TO:: Toss me the gun!

TO_Ens_Toto says:
::tosses the XO the water gun::

Host Jules says:
Wicked Witch of the West :: starts towards the Scarecrow with the fire ::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Reaches out and catches the water gun::

XO_Scarecrow says:
::Turns and fires on the broom::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  The water from the water phaser hits the broom and it goes out.

CMO_Tinny says:
::backs off from the XO, as he has WATER in that gun::

Host Jules says:
<Wicked Witch of the West> XO: Well, maybe next time.  All:  I'll be watching.  You wont make it far with my boots!

XO_Scarecrow says:
Wicked Witch of the West: Now I suggest that you go back to where you came from before something bad happens to ya.

CMO_Tinny says:
::scowls at the witch:: Ya

TO_Ens_Toto says:
Wicked Witch of the West: Oh we should make good time as long as someone carries Dorothy.

CO_Capt_Dorothy says:
ALL:  These damn boots are a killer.

OPS_LtJG_Barnes says:
::singing:: All: Weeeee're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of.... ::voice trails off::

Host Jules says:
ACTION:  A big puff of red smoke appears and as it clears, you can see the end of the broom retreating into the field

XO_Scarecrow says:
OPS: Pipe down. Wicked Witch of the West: ::Yells:: And Don't come back!!!!!!
