What you guys think?

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

This is probably a fairly good idea. Since the beginning of the RP, pretty much no one except Wash has taken time to sleep... A couple of folks have snacked as they waited to do stuff in the galley, but mostly we haven't had a meal together since we started. (To think, in RP time, only about 1 1/2 days have elapsed!) Now that we're headed to the black, it's probably a good idea to eat and catch some rest, once the scene in the galley is over.

I agree--time for nice meal, and then for everyone to steal off the their bunks--Inara and Thorne have some things planned that need doing :)

Ahhh I'd love to see Wash and Zoe get all snug.

Question is: Do Wash and Zoe get all snug, or does Wash stay on the bridge while Mal gets some shut-eye? (Keep in mind Wash's long sleep after his halucination episode)

I have been re-reading the last couple of threads and I gotta say - there is a lot of good and creative stuff here. You guys are STONE. And shiny! I come home from work just excited to see the next "page" and where the story went. Too much fun.

Ciara: the Capn has not seen that one yet - I had it set up and ready to post when we went into the black. Yes, deliberate foreshadowing

I also did not speak to him last night, so I don't have your information. If he don't call tonight, maybe I ping him.

Boomer: I have not been a Gunrunner long and am only a guest spot anyway, but do you include me in your kind gift offer? *hopefully*

Geezer: Oh yeah, don't give her time to detox in peace, just jump on with the questions. yeah, yeah I know your type.

Well, I was expedting that and I hope you don't end up too disappointed.

Hey, all...sorry I've been outta the loop for the last couple of days. Family stuff and one mother of a headache have conspired against me. And today, of course, is St. Patrick's Day (cheers!), and my family always gets together down at the school where the elders went (Irish families, you know).

I'm on long enough to get caught up (teach me to miss a couple of days!), and maybe post a move for Kaylee. You guys need to slow down. Seriously. I'm not kidding.

Ok, I am kidding.

And Mercedes, no problem at all! Email me your address and I'll make one for you, too! Hopefully I should be able to send them out this weekend, providing said family stuff doesn't mess with me too much.

Keep up the great writing, GunRunners and HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!! (Time to get Blarney Stoned.)

Ok, a couple of points (after 45 minutes of catching up with the RP!):

Squee--Kaylee had no idea that anyone else was working on the cannon with you. Remember, when Mal told her to work on the engines over the comm, Damon was the only one mentioned. She had no idea about Merz until she went to the Bridge. As far as the animosity between them, I'll try and patch it up in the next couple of posts, if that would be amenable.

Hope no one minds that I included a minor "River moment" in my post. If memory serves, waaaayyyy back when, it seemed as if the crew was able to access certain areas of their brains (albeit when asleep) after having been in close proximity to River for so long. LOL...Anyone else remember that?

If Mal or any of the crew need Kaylee to stay in the galley, let me know & I'll edit.

Maniac: Boomer's actually talking about waaaaaaaayyyy at the beginning of the RP - back when Zachsmind was playing Wash (*sniff* - We miss you Zach!), and had lovely interesting things going on in a dreamscape, as well as having some interested daytime side effects.

Oh, and I just wanted to say that Zoe's not sleepin' over there. I intend to have her take the data stick off the table, and take it to Kaylee. I just don't have time to post the move right now... Will do it a bit later.

Keep the Shiny side up

Astriana

Consider Zoe responded to.

This has been an interesting experience for a first-timer. I had always though of roleplay in terms of the D&D type with dice rolls and Dungeon masters, etc. This communal storytelling is more my cup of tea. I'm not sure if what we're doing is atypical, or if I just had a limited picture of the RP universe.

I join in the praise for our group writing. The laser install and escape from Hera reads very well. More fun to come, since I'm hoping we'll have a couple of days, RP time, to interact without too much external disturbance. Hardly had time to draw breath so far.

This is the second RP that I've played, though it's my first message board. My first RP was live time and a completely different ball park. The the biggest differences that stand out in my mind are the speed, style of writing and a rule that doesn't apply to message boarding: no playing other peoples characters.

If anyone is interested, I can send them a piece of my first RP so you can see what it's like.

OK, well that was a little off topic. I'm off to read and post.

Remember that Thorne is sleeping too. Hmmm.

Checking posts, looks like the much-requested Zoe/Wash/Chair event may be approaching. And Thorne, as an empath, can pick up on stong emotions, even while asleep. Might make an interesting dream, if it can be written without upsetting the FCC.

It's the weekend, Maniac - We tend to slow down a bit, then rev up again during the week. It should be the other way around, I know, but that's how it is.

I for one, was out of town until just this evening. Went to see the folks and family and celebrate a couple of birthdays - "baby" brother is 34 on Tuesday and Mom turned 75 two weeks ago today.

And now that I'm back, I'd like to get the nine-ball game started. I know you're a fan, and I imagine you've played it once or twice. I've never actually played nine-ball, but I have played a lot of pool and I looked up the nine-ball rules. So I think I'm ready to go.

Just remember, Channain, slop does NOT count in the game of 9-ball. And if you manage to sink the 9 on the break, you win (unlike 8-ball...).

I love 9-ball (my mom was a hustler/shark).

no worries, Boomer - I was taught no-slop. To my mind, slop never counts. That's why Rowan always announces her shots. I've since learned that you don't necessarily have to shoot the nine balls in numerical order - you can make any shot on the table so long as the lowest number on the table is the first ball that the cue ball strikes.

I would have to say that in the case of Shephard Book, if Rowan wants to keep the preacher playing, she'll allow for some slop. On the professional level, however, I don't believe slop is allowed.
