Seymour - \"Girls are hard work\"

Who: Ambassador Seymour Niples
Where: Blue Dwarf, his quarters
When: Just after the drill
Seymour paced his room with his fists clenched in anger. Queen Brittany could be
so infuriating sometimes that it was all he could do to stop himself from
slamming his fist down on his antique pine coffee table. Luckily, he didn't do
this for many reasons which were:
a) His young toddler Alota was in the room, and he didn't want to make her cry.
b) He valued the coffee table more than the lives of certain members of the
crew.
c)He didn't want to hurt his weak wrists. His delicate skin bruised easily.
Seymour turned back to the video screen, where the face of the beautiful young
Queen Brittany was staring back at him. "But Seymourpoos..." She said, trying to
sweet talk him.
"No your majesty!" He said. "Absolutely not. I will not help you to gain funding
from all the member states of the commonwealth just to pay for a new jacuzzi."
"But... It's a really awesome jacuzzi!" She said.
"No!" Seymour said. "As Royal Ambassador, my role does not include scrounging
money from all the nations which regard you as Queen." He said.
"But... I'm a good Queen!" She said. "I keep people entertained."
"By getting into the newspaper all of the time because of your illicit affairs
and dubious sexual activities?" He said, not even wanting to bring this up. He
held up a newspaper with the headline 'Queen shags young rockstar.'
"What's wrong with that?" Said Queen Brittany. "He was hot."
"This..." Seymour said, shaking the paper. "...this is not what a Queen should
be doing to get into the papers. If you want to be famous, why not do something
dignified like charity work?"
The Queen made a scoffing sound. "Booo-ring!" She said. "I'm the Queen of
England, the commonwealth and Mollopod. I can do what I want!" She said.
A small wailing came from the other side of the room and Seymour turned to look
at his young daughter. "Look. You made Alota cry!"
Queen Brittany's face melted and she went all gooey. "Oh, poor little darling!"
She said. "I'm sorry Seymour. But it's so boring here on Mollopod."
"You should have thought about that before you became their Queen." Seymour
said, and closed the connection with Brittany so that he could go see Alota.
Alota had grown lately, and wasn't the crawling baby she used to be. She could
now walk, mostly without help, and she even had her first teeth coming through.
Which made her grumpy most of the time.
Seymour picked her up and hugged her to stop her from crying. "Don't worry
little one. Shhhh." He said. "The angry Queen lady is gone now."
He felt her nappy to see if she was crying because she soiled herself, but the
nappy seemed light and fresh. His hand brushed the white fluffy rabbit tail
growing out of her posterior, and thought of the girl's mother. Jenni was an
alien, who had lived on the Blue Dwarf for a few years, but left not long after
Alota was born to go back to her own dimension. Seymour knew barely anything
about Jenni's species, all he knew was that they were called Karangeth, and in
their own dimension they looked like rabbits.
Seymour held his daughter at arms length. "Your mother would be proud of you you
know!" He said. Alota stopped crying, and started swirling her arms around.
This is something she'd done before, it was a special power that she must have
inherited from her alien mother.
"No, Alota stop. Stop!"
Alota disappeared in a flash, burrowing somewhere through a wormhole in space.
Only moments later, Seymour's phone started to ring with the tune to 'god save
the queen'.
"Mr Chrysler?" Seymour almost screamed down the phone.
"Seymour." Jay said, speaking from the S.C.S Huddersfield. "That's Captain
Chrysler remember. Can you please keep your daughter under control? She's
entered a very dangerous situation, we're on a ship which is about to fall
apart, and about to be destroyed by a supernova, and the last thing we want is a
crying baby over here."
"Keep her safe for me!" Seymour said, almost weeping. He looked out of the
window to see the S.C.S Huddersfield start to fall apart.
< OOC for the away mission, I've given you an escape route off the ship if
things get desperate. Alota can create a very small wormhole to get you back to
the BD.... but.... nothing is ever that easy, you have to stop her from crying
and make her happy. >
