beccaelizabethHad a rather sparkly dream involving a fleet of old school sailing ships, all sorts of shapes and sizes of them but I don't know words for all that. I was a magic user and second in command of the fleet, but our admiral had something bad happen and wasn't there any more. So we got Admiral Adama from Battlestar Galactica. He wouldn't take charge just from being asked, he had to be voted in by the council of captains. Captains have a vote share based on how many ships they run, and some other stuff. He said he wouldn't take more than 10% of power, would share with me and some other woman the dream only vaguely sketched in because a triumvirate is more cool. I said that if he was chosen I'd sign over enough of my power he had a voting majority. And then everyone who owed me favours voted for him and it was a landslide victory.
His vote campaign had some songvid with Apollo and Starbuck and how he'd never give up looking for them. On account of them being missing, one would guess.
So then he was the boss and I was the not-quite-boss and my ship needed someone to be the boss of it while I was busy being the boss of everyone.
And Captain Jack Sparrow had turned up with only a small boat and an unconscious person to his name. Still, technically, a Captain, but not the world's most useful one. So I put him in charge of my ship, the Rainbow Serpent. My crew were a motley bunch, chosen more for their special skills than them being team players.
Amanda from Highlander was on there. Very special skills.
Later Captain Jack Harkness turned up, but I didn't have a ship for him. But then luckily my other ship, the one that got nicked, turned up on the horizon, and the two Captains Jack and me all went and nicked it back. That one was the Feathered Serpent. We had a whole snake thing going on. Harkness was the boss of that one, and it had a whole 'flight' kind of theme. Amanda went with him.
Hello to the pretty.
I'm a bit fuzzy on who the bad guys actually were.
There was this spectacular gorgeous Art Deco hotel that turned out to be sort of a time trap, with bits existing in different eras and some of them collapsing under the strain. All very interesting, potentially.
There was an Admiral Cain, who was undead on account of the Mark. And presumably whoever shot her in the head was in Big Trouble too. Maybe having to get killed and come back a whole bunch of times?
There were probably zombie pirates involved somewhere.
But mostly there was me being the secret boss of everything, as is my natural right ;-)
I could write this up as original fic with very little tweakage.
Except I don't think I like sailing ships. They seem very complicated and historical. I like handwavey spaceships.
There's nothing to say that space zombies wouldn't work out.
Suppose it would cut down on the need for spacesuits too.
