Keep the Shiny side up

Sorry, and no offense to anyone, but I gotta RANT.

[RANT MODE]There's got to be better ways to get new characters in the story than just have them appear from of nowhere and stick a thumb out, or run up the ramp in a hail of bullets. It really strains credulity that a ship involved in a risky smuggling operation would be taking on unknown folk at the rate and in the ways we've been doing it. I know everyone wants to have their own identity and arc, but introducing new characters should be done in a way that logically fits the overall story. I think we could have done this.

It may be that I see RP as telling a story that should be internally consistant, whereas most folk see it as playing a fantasy game full of coincidences and chance meetings. Maybe I need to change my paradigm.

I don't want anyone to think I'm not enjoying our adventure. It's big fun and good mental excercise. Guess maybe I'm just being a Geezer.[/RANT MODE]

I see your point and agree, Geezer. Such is the beauty of the "edit" function in our posts here in the Firefly Universe, that it is possible to update a post to reflect a more appropo meeting. Perhaps that is something to consider.

Keep the Shiny side up

Tempting, but I think we're too far along in this episode to go back. I probably need to go browse some other roleplays to find out what's generally accepted. I'd bet my take is way to the linear, not-to-many-surprises, stodgy, side of the bell-curve.

Keep the Shiny side up

CONTINUITY PROBLEM?

From the RP:

Slight makes his way to the starboard shuttle, opening the hatch with ease. 500 plat seems like a good salary to start with.

-----------------------------

The starboard (right side) shuttle is Inara's. Please don't highjack Inara's shuttle. Thorne and Inara have to get together there later on. Maybe you were thinking 'port' shuttle? Just leave Damon's stuff out on the catwalk.

Keep the Shiny side up

Actually, could we not steal a shuttle at all? There's plenty of transport, man-portable surface-to-air missles, and pretty much anything else you'd like in the hidden warehouse. Just walk down the ramp and take it. Slight has already told Mal he's getting off here, and Thorne has offered his equipment and support, so no sneakery is needed.

Ok, I sent a move to CapnRahn, which I'm sure he'll add either to his last post, or to his next Simon move.

Hope ya'll like the Simon/Kaylee interaction in the next couple of posts.

Geezer, you're doing a helluva job with Mal! Making me laugh every time I read his stuff. Keep up the good work!

Oh, and we all have "Geezer" moments, *snicker*, no matter how old or young we may be. Bring on the rants, we can handle 'em.

Teela: Yep! Remember playing around with that as a child. If your fingers were crossed (usually behind your back), then whatever you said didn't count... You could tell a lie and it wouldn't count against you, etc.

All: RL is beating me up pretty hard right now. I won't say that it snuck up on me, only that it's taking up more of my time than I expected, and I have no idea when I'll be able to post a move for Zoe over the next day or two. I expect she'll just follow Mal around and carry his orders as stated for the time being. I'll be back on as soon as I can. (This could mean tomorrow night, anytime Sunday, or possibly not until Monday sometime. (I'm writing this at 2am EST, if that gives you any indication of what my time is like right now - I should sleeping!

)

to all, I'll see you soon!

Hey, Maniac. We having fun yet? Seems dropping little zingers on each other could lead to an interesting sub-story. Wanna keep it up for a while as we go? Sort of a Book/Throne friendly battle of wits? Maybe we can learn a bit more of your take on Book in the war.

Hey Teela - Rowan's awake and asking questions.

Raven, Squee, Merz, Boomer:
She'll be headed up to the bridge, still asking questions - would be a good way to get her into the weapons assembly project. She can work on the wiring, monitor the systems, and of course bow to the direction of Serenity's mechanic.

It's good to be home... and I don't just mean being back at my house, although that's pretty shiny too!

Your welcome, Merz, I'm having fun. This Merz/Damon interaction is very interesting, especially because she is the one character on this boat that I don't know the history for.
Well, actually, Book, Thorne and Slight are still mysteries but I know even less about Merz.

BTW: I tried to add you to my AIM contact list but I don't think I have your screenname right cuz it never shows you as online.
Another reason why I don't like AIM: it lets you add contacts even if they don't exsist.

I vote for bad tempers all 'round :) with Mal stomping around and glaring, and with her tiredness, and the half-drunk-ape-man-gone-wrong thing... Inara's --let me offer a quote from Geezer, I believe-- "is running short on the milk of human kindness"?

Merz, on proposal of hitchalong

Sure, come along. I'd look forward to the interaction between Slight and Merz. In fact. . .

Slight has just regained his humanity, but he still has a bit of a superiourity complex because of the upgrades. perhaps, because of Merz's immunity, she doesn't see the red eyes that Slight has. Maybe we can even have a HoG moment, Slight falls in love and dies (I'm so twisted). Although (hush, big secret) I might have him return on a later date. The thing I haven't mentioned is that he is much older than everyone else not because he was born sooner, but because he has a major healing factor that accelerates his aging process. It's so accelerated it will actually reverse, and a Merlin sickness will occur when he dies. Also, directors, the way he shall die that I hand in mind is he's mentioned a "secret weapon" in his pocket. It's the blue stick seen in action in Ariel. but without the blue gloves to protect him from the effects, he'll die right along with everyone else, and come back to life growing down, so to speak.

Hush-hush.

Okay, finally posted for Zoe... Sorry for the delay - RL is definitely kicking my booty! Should settle a little bit very soon, though (I hope!

)

Anyway, I'm thinking Zoe's actions fit the emotions swirling around everyone for the last little while - eventually even Zoe had to get fed up.

I suspect SerenitysSon will want Jayne to have a few choice words for Zoe, so I left the post open-ended.

Squee: Just as an aside, Zoe hasn't given up Damon's gun since she took it. It was still tucked into her belt the last time I checked. (Never even handed it to Mal, in his foul mood.) Might be Damon's found one of Jayne's guns "laying around".

Hey Merz - I didn't plan it, but Merz and Rowan are having an encounter in the passageway. Rowan is Asian, and in my Avatar she has brown eyes, but at the moment one is covered and the other is jade green - just wanted to give you a reminder.

Curious to see what happens next.

Slight -

I don't really know which way this is going to play yet. I am hoping to get down to the cargo bay in time to catch you coming back in with Thorne. If I don't stay you are going to see her hauling butt off away from the incoming patrol and heading for the spaceport she arrived at.

{edited to put in the part I forgot} that means you can find her on foot and "rescue" her if you see fit

So we shall see, shan't we. But I do look forward to our - introduction.
