Quick question for anyone who knows (a question I should know the answer to )- where is River? Geezer didn't list where she was.

Always have a hard time keeping track of River. But, yep. Think she was last seen in the infirmary. Though with River, you never know. She could show up anywhere(and probably should).

Keep the Shiny side up

Just checked the RP thread and added a couple of moves for my guys. Love the Rowan/Damon/Merz interplay. So tight. Sure there's not just one person writing all three?

Things are getting exciting for sure. "This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last." And a cyber-cookie for whoever tells me who said that...first.

The quote is from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", as said by Willy Wonka when Augustus Gloob gets caught in the chocolate river tube.

Well, Mr. Wonka did say it, or something very similar, but he wasn't the first. Try about 80 years earlier, and no Googling!

...and if Kaylee can find a good excuse to leave the engine room and come to the bridge in the next five minutes or so, please feel free to adjust away.

I assure you Geezer, there are actually three persons working on these posts and the only talking we are doing is in the posting. Damon and Rowen are spot-on at taking up a cue or an idea and are a joy to work with!

The problem is that I can't really get Kaylee out of the engine room until she's done with her Simon interaction.

No worries...CapnRahn & I will adjust to everyone else's schedule.

Actually I don't see why you can't come on out now and yell at the interlopers, or whatever.

Anything you and Simon need to do can be handled very easily in flashbacks. And I seriously do not think he would mind. Go ahead, have some fun! He really hopes to be back soon, but RL things are just happening.

You know how that goes.

Have at it, Boomer.

Ok, so I bowed to the pressure and posted a move for Kaylee. CapnR and I will just have to work with it.

It's kind of a long post, but I had a lot of moving around and exposition to fit in. Hope it works. Which reminds me...Chapter 11 is getting really long. My move coincides with Ciara's, in that we both refer to the Alliance ships firing at us. Might be a good time to go on to Chapter 12. Just a thought.

Ciara/Boomer.

Probably about time for shooting to start. Anybody who needs to do something before we leave can use the flashback or 'meanwhile, in another part of the jungle' route.

I think I'll put in one more post and ask for a new chapter.

Good morning Geezer,

It would appear we cross-posted this morning. You may want to check it out and let me know if I need to adjust anything. It does not look bad to me if you just assume Merz is too focused to notice much right now.

do you suppose Inara should try to take up some of the infirmary duties? I'm sure everyone will realize Simon's a bit "missing" when people start getting boxed around--perhaps she should resign herself to the inevitable :)

get Damon to the infirmary, I suppose?

Sounds good to me, Ciara. One of the thoughts I had while posting Damon's collision with the computer was that it might give the characters who aren't shooting cannons, piloting ships or giving orders an opportunity to do something.
So take Damon wherever you want, he's not in much of a position to argue about it

Boomer- I was wondering where you see this Kaylee/Damon tension going. I don't mind if it smooths over or if they continue sparking at each other but I just wanted to make sure that if they do keep arguing that it's intentional and not too much spur of the moment stuff.

Edited to remove my comment about River being missing. Teela posted just as I was writing it

Speaking of range, I just thought of something. With the cannon located under the bridge, the lower decks limit how far back it could shoot- and how high. so a ship behind or above them would be out of range.
My thought is that it could give Wash and Kaylee an opportunity to pull a Crazy Ivan at some point in order to quickly turn around and shoot someone behind them.

What ya guys think?

OH,by the way Rowen, Kaylee and Damon.

I have been doing som re-reading, and if I have everything down correctly, the correction to the wires Kaylee made, were to what Merz ran after the tea party and no part of what Damon did.

Merz does not know this particular ship type and could have made an error, especially with a vessel that is already upgraded beyond spec. So someone should set someone straight and give Damon a break.

If you yell at Merz she is only going to insist you pry up the decking again and show her how to do it right so she remembers the next time.

Why thank you, Debs, that's very considerate of you. I did notice that actually, but I didn't want to point fingers at anyone over a minor inconsistency. But now that we are on the subject, Channain stated in her two part post that Damon had replaced the deck plating when it was actually Merz.

Blessings on your post Maniac - gave me the perfect opening for what I needed to do. Most appreciated.

ZOE, I believe you are watching the scanners over Wash's shoulders. Perhaps you can catch a glimpse of our two lost sheep in the valley so there is no question that they are away and safe.

Obviously enough I was talking to CapnRahn last night and he had hoped to post yesterday. However he has moved his computer and when he turned it on, it did not turn on. So among other things he has to find out why. He is going to try to find somewhere to check in from (he said he would try today, but you know how RL can kick your pigu) so I had permission to go ahead and do a quick post.

No prob DAMON, no reason you should get yelled at for my oopsie.

Cheers all, more later

Whoops! My bad - time to edit!

You didn't wanna point fingers? G'head and point, girl! If I'm wrong, I'll happily say I'm wrong. There was an amazing amount of really good writing to get through, and trying to catch up between two posts was, well, tricky. I was pretty focused on getting Rowan out of the way before Merz sat on her at the console. That kind of action, such as it is, would distract the boys a little too much

Keep the Shiny side up

Considering that we have so many folk writing so many parts at different times with minimal direction or collaboration, I think we're doing a bang-up job of maintaining continuity. Anyway, when they do the screen adaptation of Adventures in Gunrunning, the cleanup will give the screenwriter something to do.

And on the continuity front, you folks not on the bridge will feel the 'Crazy Ivan' too, as it overpowers the grav fields. Please throw yourselves from side to side and comment on the rough ride.

I've gotten confused quite a bit (will happen when you're out of the Rp for more than a day, let alone three)
Slight and the good doctor are off to this scientist. The rest are on board the ship and are leaving atmo. Will they be coming back in a couple hours, once Rahn and myself work this out? Assuming he gets the posts, either himself or Merz. I love the complexities of online roleplaying!

Keep the Shiny side up

Raven.

I'm afraid that in the heat of the action we may have gone a bit farther in the story timeline than intended. Since I can't email or chat from here, I'll hide my suggestion in a spoiler command and ask that others not read it if they want to be surprised.

Select to view spoiler:

If you're still looking to kill off Slight (temporarily) while saving Serenity, you could do that. It might be poignant if he dies saving everyone, but the crew doesn't find out about it until later(reviewing gun-camera films or such). Perhaps he could intercept the previously undetected forth ship as it's lining up a shot. Or if you need more Simon/Slight time prior to Slight's demise, take out the larger, faster ship that's launching in pursuit. If you need any exposition or moves to set this up, let me know. Hope this helps.

Collar or no collar, Book's still a man, Maniac.

Celebacy is the four very short syllabels for the most unnatural self-imposed condition in the 'verse. Not to mention there had to be some kind of reason for why he made the decision to put himself under that restriction.

Like Rowan, he can still appreciate beauty without sampling said beauty.
