Teela,

"*The she can be applied to either Merz or River. You make the choice."

At the moment, the way some of Merz thoughts are taking her, it certainly can apply to her. So it is not unlikely that river is channeling Merz.

Play it as you see best - but use Merz if it seems right to you.

That was some deep stuff. Now that we got so many people in the galley, it makes me wish there was some way to capture the full interplay of many characters talking at once, in one room, using our chosen genre. I am picturing Simon's birthday party when all things went kablooie, as an example. Lot's of good talking over the top of other talking. I miss Firefly. I am awed that the movie is on its' way. It's as though Joss came down from the mountain with a tablet in his hand, and the title across the top read Serenity. And he shewed it unto the people and they saw that it was good, and (as we peer into the future) many more Firefly movie's and tv shows came forth from it. Anyway, now that the ramble is over, has anyone heard from Haken about the RP world he was building?

Hey, all! Happy Mother's Day (or am I the only mom here?)!

At last recollection, Kaylee was in the common room, not the galley. However, if someone has managed to move her, that's fine. I've been MIA for the past couple of days (and probably will be until June), although I've been trying to keep up with the reading.

Merz, either way with the tools works for me. I'll leave it up to you.

You guys rock!

Um, Decoy, I loved your whoosh and all but... I don't think everyone was where they needed to be... Thorne isn't in the galley yet and Jayne is still in the cargo bay. Poor Jayne... he was so funny too...

I think they were also going to suck the O2 out of the bay and all the other fumes into the bay before they blew it open, which if I'm remembering correctly was going to take 30 minutes.

Jayne was out, and blowing the bay got rid of the booze & glass inside the flooring... The Smell in the rest of the ship will be blown out in a few, as I recycle the air back into the bay, and blow it again... these things take time, like 30 minutes or so... Thorne is in the galley with Mal.

I'll be doing other posts to this effect.

He is? They are? Someone kick me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think they moved yet. SJ's last RP post was in the cargo bay with the weights and the last I heard from Mal and Geezer, they were still on the bridge. If you're reffering to SJ's last post in the OOC, he gave a list of where the charaters are going to be, not where they currently are.

I moved them to the galley in my post. It is safe to assume they got there as the hall is only so many meters long. I didn't expect Geezer to be MIA and miss doing a post.

The bay cleaning is supposed to be fairly minor. No reason to draw it out any further.

EDIT
OK, Now fixed problem - I will alter my last Mal post to include Mal closing the hatch down the front hall that goes to the bay.

OK, fixed with this {new stuff in italics}:

MAL
"Wash, dig up a detailed a map of the entire moon, as detailed as you can find. I got an idea that will test your claims of being a pilot."

Waggles eyebrows in mock chiding as he turns again to follow Thorne out of the Bridge and to the Galley.

Passing the starboard hall, Mal excuses himself for a moment to dog the starboard hall hatch in prep for the cargo bay dump.

End of fix

One could assume Book {as smart as he is} dogged the hatch that comes up from the common room to the rear/engine rm hall. Wouldn't really be needed, but Book may hve done it as a precaution ...

Something like that... It's been quite a while since Early decided to take over the Reaver ship.

Question: Has everyone's schedule shifted? Used to be the RP was busy as all get out during the week, and quite slow on the weekends, but it seems to be going the other way 'round the last couple of weeks. Just wonderin' if that was an 'on purpose' kinda thing, or just how it seems to be falling out. (Mainly 'cause I don't have a lot of computer access on the weekends, an' I seem to be fallin' way behind in the posting department...

)

Just curious, is all...

Sorry folks ... my summer allergies have kicked my arse. Breathing has been a real chore, even with the meds.

To RP stuff...
Manaic suggested we do a group chat and get as many folk that are in the Galley to join. Then we 'free-form' the conversation in the galley. Then someone can post a mega-blended post - with whatever non-verbal additions the others would like to make.

Got any other ideas on how to show a 'group scene'? Post'em here!

OK, to start: I am on both MSN and AIM as CapnRahn. I think I have a Yahoo chat ID and a ICQ, but haven't used either in a while.

If all y'all want to do this, just give a shout on this thread as to which chat and day/time you prefer.

AIM or MSN - flexable with respect to time and date.

Everything else ...
Merz, Raven, Kelanvor : I gotta catch up on my reading of email and replying to it. Me reeeeeal slow right now - again , my apologies.

Woo hoo! That sounds like fun! RPing real time always is!
I am availible pretty much any time, except Wednesday nights. I have both MSN and AIM. I also have a friend with a live chat room on the internet, so if it works out better than IM programs, then we are welcome to use it. Only thing that can be a problem with that site is your computers will need Java. So maybe it'll be useful, or maybe it won't...
here;s the link if anyone wants to check it out:

Debs: I'm also a little confused... maybe you meant to say the bridge? I haven't been posting cuz Damon fell asleep... not much conversation there but he'll be up soon, especially if we're going to do this chat thing.

Maybe the best time for everybody to do this would be a weekend? I am sensing some, if not all of you, have day jobs, and I work swing, so weekdays are a problem. Unless, y'all are willing to dodge off work and play on your computers.

For me, afternoons are always good, but for everyone, Saturday afternoon-ish?

Excellent. Let's do it. We can get the 30 some odd minutes of being trapped together out of the way, and we can field test the method for other events, like dinners in the galley and parties and such.

I can do this (AIM is preferable) anytime after 7:30 EDT. This weekend is an option as well.

Squee, can you add an aol.com address for MSN chat? I thought it had to be an MS address (ie hotmail, msn). I don't really know, I'm not that familiar with the system.

As far as the chat goes, this weekend (and every one until the 2nd in June) is out for me, as we'll be at the RenFaire both Saturdays and Sundays until 7pm (central). I could probably do it after 9pm, or anytime during the week. Give me a day/time and I'll make an effort to be here. I would also prefer a chat room somewhere, where we can all talk at the same time. Might make the flow a little easier.

CapnRahn, I liked your post for Saffron, although it did strike me as a tad wordy. Saff always struck me as having an amazing amount of street smarts, but not a lot of book learning. Seems to me her interior dialogue would be more basic. Just my opinion, though.

Teela, put some words in River's mouth, hope they work ok for you!

Apparently they did not clear up, so I could not tell you when he will be online again. I believe he intends to contact them today.

Sorry I've been AWOL for a while. The internet servers here at work have been kerfrazzled, apparently by the Sasser worm, and getting outside our local web has been almost impossible.

At home, I've been chasing car parts, ordering car parts, calling to find why the car parts I ordered didn't arrive, re-ordering car parts, dis-assembling components, cleaning the dis-assembled components, re-assembling the components with the new car parts, looking at the manual, dis-assembling the re-assembled components and re-re-assembling them correctly, plucking tiny pieces of the components out of my fingers, and wearing out a brush and two bars of soap trying to get the grime off my hands.

As to the live chat. I will be out of town Friday evening through Sunday Afternoon, then I have class registration AND a long class day on Monday...

You can see where this is going. I could be on this Sunday evening after 8PM, and after that the only available time I would have would be after 10PM Monday through Wednesday and then possibly Thursday evening through next weekend.
