Squee: Shoot, That'll be up to Astriana. But I can't see Zoe being incompetent when searching for a weapon or tool. There may be something in the room you could use to your nefarious purpose, be creative. If you run into a block, IM me.

I know it's not the answer you want, hon, but I can't think for a second that Zoe would leave Damon unfrisked after he just pulled a knife on one of her crew... But as Gowron tells us: "There are always weapons!"... Use your creativity... Capn's available by IM today and I'm available via e-mail (since I'm at work) if you need ideas...

Edit: A thought occurs - was there something you wanted them to find/not find during a pat-down? If so, e-mail and we'll work it out.

OK guys, give Damon a break here. Possibility that he wanted to VOLUNTARILY disarm himself, not have any nefarious plans :-)

Kid may be wantin' to turn over a new leaf.

~ However Squee, they are both right. After two freakouts in one day, he was gettin' his pockets stripped, no question.

Me, I think he WAS lucky to retain his clothing, I would have been tempted to strip him down to his tighty-whities just in case.

Hey! Quit givin' away my ideas!

Seriously, I thought about it, but figured Zoe wouldn't do so in front of all those folks... LOL!

SQUEE

I guess I should clarify a bit cuz i think my question was misunderstood. I was asking if Zoe could do the search 'now' as opposed to in the galley so that I could have Damon respond to it.

(Yes, Debs, you just about nailed it. A couple days ago, I had already figured that Damon would turn his own pockets inside out and give Zoe his knife and oath that he has nothing else on him in hopes that she won't have to get hands on.)

But it's not really important so no worries. My own fault for not knowing what "please take our young charge in hand fer a moment." means.

Not so much the words, Squee, but the action should have tipped you.

Even tho "taken in hand" is a {military, police etc} code sometimes used to let another member of your team to do a frisk - without letting the suspect know he was going to get patted down.

You've never been in the military or police, so I would suspect you to be ignorant of that code. Unless you were a military/police movie/TV show fan, LOL.

However, One watching and knowing Firefly, One should know, Mal ordering it or not - Zoe would remove any potential weapons from the perps vicinty.
Savvy?

Hey Capn,

Been enjoying Mal especially here lately - I can really hear his voice reading your words.

Tell me, cause I am curious.

Pulling that prank/test on Damon was not only on or for Damon was it? That was a test for ALL of the hitchers am I right?

Forced the same kind of gut reaction as that bizarre, psycho thing he did to Simon. Which way will the bunny hop under stress? I can see that, especially since he may need to know relative strengths and weaknesses on the morrow ... yeah, that's the Mal who put Jayne in the airlock.

Do I see it right? Or am I just blowin' smoke up your skirt?

Cheers,

Debs

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that I think I'm going to one big post for Damon in his time out. It may take a couple days to finish. I don't think anyone will be needing a response from him but i wanted to make sure no one would be waiting on me.

and yes, I need to get River caught up, but my eyes won't stay open right now...

I am so glad the election is over. I think it's evil effects had taken over my brain functions. I can feel a lessening of the tension already. Even though I'm unhappy with the outcome, perhaps now I can focus more on Book. It's been really hard to think about him sometimes, even though he's my favorite character, (praise be to Ron and Joss) just because of what I just said 'bout the Gorram politics. It's not fair to Book or the crew. Anyhow, I hope to get soused and drown my sorrows. If depression doesn't set in, I will come out stronger than before. Wish me luck.

SQUEE - Beawdie post, mei mei. Made me wanna do a one-time post for Xiang where his ears were burning cuz someone was thinking about him. Only I'm not entirely sure where he is at the moment. Capn knows.

*watches the match between Capn and Maniac*

So here's the thing - Mom called today and said they have to come back down to see Dad's cardiologist. It seems he's had some weight gain, significant enough that the big doctor has to poke at him a little to se what's up. I'd like to post today.

DEBS - would Merz be okay with the idea of Rowan showing her by actually guiding her hands? Or better yet, Rowan does it while Merz is sourt of holding Rowan's hands so she can feel the actually amount of pressure used when the spices are added? I've been wondering that for a couple of days.

Merz would understand that method of teaching. Actually she would welcome it to some degree - because that is the only way she has to measure your application of hand strength :-)

Go ahead and post is as you decide to do it, and I will do my impressions when I catch up.

Keep the Shiny side up

Hi, guys. As you may have noticed, THORNE hasn't been much of a presence recently, and I'm taking him out of the game for a while. If you want to resurrect him later with another RPer thats fine with me.

When I started the RP, I had sort of expected the story to have a short, finite, relatively scripted life, which suited my short attention span perfectly. Since then we've done a lot of good work, but have gone in a different direction from what I was originally interested in. Rather than being a drag on the whole team due to my inconsistent participation, I'll just get out of the way and let you roll. Maybe I'll try my hand at fanfic, or go back to poetry.

Y'all have fun. I'll continue to follow the story, and hope everyone comes out all right. And remember, Thorne is still out there somewhere. Watching.

Sorry it took so long for me to post, folks. Things've been crazy here, and Inara was quite thrown by Thorne's sudden departure.

And yes, I do have a drama-queen streak. Feel free to run with whatever your character hears of Inara's message from Thorne. I'm not promising she'll give any straight answers, though.

A hello and a goodbye... Seems almost too balanced for this crazy 'verse.

Geezer -- I'm sorry 'we' didn't have more chance to interact. Rosie's kindness will linger with Inara a good long while, you can be sure of that.
