"Mollopods want our Queen"
Posted byPosted: Jun 3, 2009, 6:26pm
Who: Seymour, Captain Chrysler and the rest of the BD crew
Where: Kingdom of Little Cheftonia
When: The glorious 22nd Century!
After a flash of blinding light, it took Seymour a few moments to see fully again. He staggered around shouting "I'm blind, I'm blind!" and grabbing at the people closest to him.
"Seymour get off me you weirdo. It'll wear off." Said the calm voice of Jay Chrysler next to him.
Seymour rubbed his eyes and blinked until he could see Jay clearly. Then he looked around. They were in the dry dessert of the Mollopod planet where they'd been before the time-travelling incident.
"Are we..."
Jay nodded. "Back in the year 2109. Yes." Then he pointed to the Mollopods that were surrounding them. They were heavily armed with large laser rifles, and spears pointing at the crowd of Humans.
"Seymour, what's our political standing with the Mollopods?" Jay asked quietly.
Seymour puffed out his chest proudly. This was the first time he'd been asked a question as an Ambassador for ages. "When we left, we'd just saved this planet's largest city from being destroyed by it's own secret weapon. So I'd say we're on peaceful terms with them again."
The Mollopod guards all pointed their sharpened spears at them, and approached, pushing the crowd of Blue Dwarf crew tightly together. More Mollopod soldiers beamed in behind the first, each with more deadly weapons.
"Or maybe something happened while we were away that made them our enemies again?" Seymour said.
Jay turned to Seymour. "Can you find out, and stop guessing!"
Seymour sighed, and nodded. Then he stepped forward. "I am Ambassador Seymour Niples, Ambassador to Queen Brittany of the British Royal Family and the Commonwealth..."
A fat slug dragged Seymour out of the crowd, Seymour put his hands up as they pointed a weapon at him.
"Where is this Queen Brittany?" They commanded.
"I... I... If you want to hurt her, then you should know I would rather die than betray my Queen."
"WHERE IS THE QUEEN?!" They shouted, and a spear was pushed against Seymour's forehead.
He screeched in fear.
"She's... probably in this crowd somewhere!" He said.
The Mollopods marched into the middle of the crowd. Blue Dwarf crewmembers moved aside as the fat slugs pushed their way past them.

Who: Queen Brittany, baby Alota and Rosette
Where: Kingdom of Little Cheftonia, in a crowd of BD crewmembers
When: Just after being sent back to the proper time frame
"Hey. Back off buddy!" The Queen shouted at some man in the crowd who stepped back onto her foot. She was only slightly disorientated by the sudden shift in time and space, but was more worried about people stepping on her expensive shoes.
"These are Armani Galactic, very rare and expensive. If you dirty them, the heel is going straight in your ear. Plus, I'm carrying a baby. You don't want to make her cry, she might create a wormhole to send you into another dimension."
She turned to Rosette who was standing right next to her in the crowd. "Hey did you see that Annie girl? What a bitch eh?"
Rosette shrugged. "She was helping to preserve the timeline."
"Yeah but, what an attitude. She was like a TOTAL bitch. She was definitely on a power trip, where does she get off telling us what to do?"
"Well... she was probably just trying to save the galaxy."
"...And what was she WEARING? Long blonde hair and glowing white dress, has she got some sort of angel complex? I expected to see some fake wings at the back like she was on a hen night or something."
Rosette shrugged.
"And that hair. It totally had extensions in it!"
Brittany started to stroke baby Alota's hair. She noticed it was starting to grow long and blonde.
"I can't wait 'til you get a bit older. We'll have so much fun styling your hair, and doing your make-up..."
"QUEEN BRITTANY!" Shouted a voice. It had a wetness about it that made it sound like the owner was constantly gargling.
Brittany turned to see the fat face of a slug looking at her. She noticed that the crowd had parted and everyone was staring at her.
"Come with me." Shouted the voice. Brittany passed baby Alota to Rosette and she followed.
He lead Brittany out of the crowd, and she stood next to Seymour.
The Mollopod shouted in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Queen Brittany, on your last trip to this planet you caused our King to be arrested and executed."
Brittany bit her lip. "Yes. Well that was because of a silly rule you made up. You didn't have to go execute him or anything you stupid spastics."
"Since that time, the Mollopod planet of Little Cheftonia has had no King or Queen."
Brittany shrugged. "Not my problem." Brittany said crossing her arms.
There was a silence. Seymour whispered to her.
"They're going to kill us. On my signal, run like billy-o!"
"I'm not scared of him." Said Brittany.
"So we have decided..." Said the Mollopod. "That YOU are our new Queen!"
Brittany blinked. "What?"
The Mollopod grinned, and the guards behind him cheered.
"You're serious?" She said, and started to smile at how happy the Mollopods seemed to be about the decision. Above them, fireworks started to go off, and all around the Mollopods were dancing their
The fat Mollopod came up to her and shook her hand. "We joined the Commonwealth last week." he said.
"Look... I'm not..." She started to say, but loud cheering drowned her out. She turned to Seymour. "What's up with them? Nobody has been this pleased to have me as a Queen before. British people normally don't give a toss. Until I take my kit off of course."
Seymour beamed with happiness. "Maybe it's time to start acting like a proper Queen." He said.
She shrugged. "We'll see!"
"I think you should stay here for a while. They will definitely treat you well. You'll get a throne room, and all the Humans you can eat!"
Brittany cringed. "I'll try and convince them to give up that particular habit." She said.
<OOC - Yes, Brittany will be leaving us and staying with the Mollopds for a while. In the meantime, who wants to find us a ship? It should be easier to aquire one now that the Mollopods are friendly to us again.>
