OOC 21 "Adventures In GunRunning" by CapnRahn

For those NOT involved in a true tea ceremony, knoshing on artichokes al la Thorne {

} and engaging in digital manipulation ... well you get the point ... it is 1745/5:45 PM or 6-ish.

For those engaging in above stated events -- it probably is around ... 8 to 10-ish?

Time is relative to the events and participants - what time do you want it to be?

In ancient China (don't know about now), there were no 'date lines' or 'time zones'... there was just the 'emperor's time'. so, if it was analagous to 2am on the great wall and noon in the eternal city, it was still noon everywhere... or go i gather. In america, train schedules and telegraph communications were the beginning of a concept of different time zones as travel speeded up and differences became more noticeable. So, where does that leave a poor smuggler, trying to keep a reputation intact? Must have been standardized by the Alliance, with everywhere-the-same-no-matter-what... just like their overall philosophy. But then, what with the spirit planetary nationalism and so on, there still must be allowances for incredibly diverse variations, based on everything from planetary rotations to cultural remnants. (What time is on board any given Reiver's ship??? Is it always the End-Of-Time???)

Hey Capn - Just an FYI, Rowan's only going to see a quick message from Thal - little more than a call back, really.

"Exile - Wave received. Searching. Will wave back with whatever. Good to hear from you bao bei."

THEN we'll get into the other message we're working on. Maybe. I don't know how much I want Rowan knowing concerning the whereabouts of Xiang at the moment. Thal's message seems more appropriate after the Rowan/Damon drunk scene.

Marpa47: Thanks for the timenotes!!! Hope you are enjoying reading the RP!
Coordinating time is why awhile back I started 'timeticks' labeled AMT, for Alliance Mean Time. It would be the same as somebody using GMT {Greenwich Mean Time} here on earth to coordinate a simultaneous 'action'. As you probably know, GMT is the 'zero' point for time calculation here on Terra and was easily adapted to Firefly. Now, just gotta figger out which world is the AMT zero point - Arial?!.

Maniac: I know what ya mean - with Deb and Will here, we all have been catching up on 20 years and meeting the new companions! No real time to RP, a week goes by REAL fast when on vacation!

Channain: The only info on Xiang is what I sent - the rest won't come up until the end of Serenity Vacation - the info and 'broken wave' that leads our intrepid crew into the next adventure - "Shadows of the Pale Moonlight".

Heck, Rowan won't know Xiang's fate till nearly the last third of "SotPM".

Channain will, but Rowan won't!

Squee: I'll send you the workup on the description of Dis as soon as I suss it it out further. Think "Riddick" and that will probably help till I detail it out properly.

ALL: Deb and Will left today around 1 or so and won't be home till tomarrow afternoon. Hopefully, after vacation recovery, by Monday we can kickstart the RP in to high gear!

Look for me to catch up with posts {Yes Raven, Slight's internal one too!} by Monday night.

My short list -
Slight's Death from his Mindscape POV.
Mal's confession to Book
Niska's return to civilization.
Starting the Dragonfly RP with scenes that run concurrent to this RP using the interludes already established in eariler GunRunner ACTs.

Maniac : Doh! I been wrapped up in other stuff I forgot I left you hanging!!! I need to re-read your last post and I'll write a post t'nite.

I was hoping to have Mal and Book 'hash' some things out. I liked the idea that the only person on Serenity he feels can be objective (Zoe appears to be off on a tangent

) is the one (Book) he KNOWS has ties to the Alliance. But Mal realizes that he and Book are cut from the same cloth. All that non-verbal communication in the series really confirms that.

So, if you got a post itiching to be ... posted I say POST AWAY! I'll catch up later t'nite.

Well folks, this is the end... my life is over. Tomorrow school starts and there couldn't be anything more depressing.

I've been happily ignoring the fact for about a week now, but I can't deny it any more. The hours have droped below 24, the seconds are ticking away... so much I still haven't done...

Most of you guys are probably looking at me weird wondering what the heck I'm complaining about but for a 19 year old who's never had a job, going to school after 3 months of freedom is the end of the world.

actually, I don't mind the work, it's the stress that I hate. not having a care in the world for 3 months is hard to let go of.

Bit late Maniac -

Checking in here from a public machine at my office. I have no power. Decoy has no power. I have not heard from Astriana, but I don't have a lot of hope there either.

Don't know how long it will be for Decoy, but my apartment mamager was told we have a window to have our power restored - 3 to 10 days.

Will either post when I can, or get word to someone to move my character - sorry guys, please bear with us.

My heart and prayers go out to all of you. They say God will never give you more than you can handle, but I do believe four hurricanes is taking it a bit too far. Take the plywood down, put it back up...

There was a story on the news here in Minnesota just this past week, about a family who is helping relatives move from Haiti - eight children, I believe. The family's two young children talked on air about their understanding about the "big storm" and how it basically stole their cousins' house. Heart-breaking stuff. The neighbors all banded together with the family to build an addition onto the existing home in Minnesota, as well as shopping around thrift stores for enough bunk beds to go around. It had to be put up so fast that it looks like the kind of temporary refugee shelter you'd see in a third world country, yet it's located in here in Minneapolis. There's a reality check for you.

Meanwhile, I'm getting into gear. Time to move Rowan from her spot in the hallway before somebody runs into her... unless one of you already has, which is shiny.

My power is back on, and crazy enough, it's looking like it's gonna stay on... the power crews came by early this morning, and hooked us back up, and said that due to the new lack of trees in the area, the power situation looks good, no trees = no limbs tearing up the wiring. Our three old oak trees are still up, and fine, but a lot of other trees are gone. I'll just have to bring Deb over here... for showers, heating pads, and other electrically hot things. :)

Here I am... We're also without power at my house (see story below). I have access only at work, and not nearly enough of it at the moment. We'll probably be heading to my friend Thor's house this evening, if the power isn't back on before I get home from work.

Other than these relatively minor challenges, we are perfectly fine and in good health, and we have some local friends who have power and have offered us to come stay with them if need be. Hopefully Merz and Decoy weathered the storm well and experienced no injury, damage, or loss.

I have no idea how long it's going to take for them to get our power lines hooked back up, so I'll only have access to a computer while I'm at work. I'm going to see if I can post for Zoe before I leave work today, but I may not be able to post at all for a little bit. If you want to contact me, you can get me here or via e-mail at htempe AT hotmail DOT com until 5pm EDT - right now I gotta at least look like I'm working...

Power Outage Ignore if you like...
When we got up, we saw a downed cable line running from the pole to the pool, but that had nothing on the afternoon's activities. We heard some snapping outside, so we went onto the back porch to have a look (we boarded up on Saturday afternoon in anticipation of the storm). The top of the tree that has grown up around the electric/cable line pole had snapped off in the wind and was laying on the electric lines, giving off lovely little blue sparks. We called the power company and asked them to shut down power to those lines, because the tree was started to smoke and burn. They said that they couldn't do that, because it would mean shutting off power to more than 5,000 houses. They assured us that the tree wouldn't actually catch fire, because of the all the rain the storm was dumping on us. Ironically, just as they were saying this, the tree actually DID catch fire - smoldering and then outright flaming up a bit. The insulation on the lines started to burn, too... which makes for a lovely smell, I must say... ;p So, we got off the line with the power company and called the fire department. Almost as soon as the call was made, the transformer (or whatever the lines are attached to) blew up, in that stereotypical blue-flamey way that you always see on the news, complete with extra flamage from the tree branch, and the lines snapped. The tree branch crashed down into the back yard and almost immediately stopped burning. One of the lines landed in the yard near the back fence - the other landed in the pool. Since the fire went out, we called the fire department to cancel the previous call, but as we were hanging up, the truck showed up in front of the house. (We are lucky enough to live directly between two fire stations less than 1/2 a mile away in either direction.) We told them what happened and that the fire was now out, and they told us to stay out of the back yard, then went on their way, since there wasn't a whole lot they could do about the power part. Needless to say, when the lines snapped, our house lost power... Wacky fun!

then I went to school for an hour, out to lunch with my mom and sister, came home for a bit, went for a hair cut where I got a call from my mom about an armed robbery at the elementry school in our neighborhood.

So now the police are driving around looking for these guys, I hear helicopters flying around out there too.

What would people want from an elemenrty school anyway? Crayons and Elmer's Glue?

Hey gunrunners and hitchers - sorry I've been AWOL of late. I know I said it would change during my quarter break, but then my folks came down for some medical brou-haha.

Here's how it is - My dad had a heart murmur, so they came down last month to figure out how come. Figured out that it's a faulty valve. They came back this week to figure out which one. Turns out it's one of the aortics (dunno which) and today he's back to figure out exactly when - not IF, but WHEN - he's going to have surgery.

Suffice to say, I've been a wee bit distracted. I've also been chief cook for supper the last couple of nights. Last night because I'm the only one in the house who knows how to cook with fire, tonight because I'm the only one who knows how to make pizza.

I have a Rowan post in progress. I'm going to post what I have now, then come back. I have to review the lingo I used the first time Rowan and Serenity had a discussion.

So that's the scoop. In short, keep praying.

Melfina - Welcome!!

I understand! Things get hard sometimes and the real world is much more important than this one. You just take care of things, ok?

Having said that, I sent you an email a while back - concerning something we were working on. Definitely understand you don't have time to work on it - just wanted confirmation you have it or do you need it again?

My prayers and best mojo for your dad.

Cheers,

Debs

SAINT JAYNE

Hi folks! And greetings, Melfina.

This is the point where I take a breath as I wait to see of all my long hours of work this past week pay off or if I spend another weekend working. I'm still keeping an eye on the RP, just not as often as I'd like. And I'm gone for 6 days for Thanksgiving this weekend, so don't expect a lot of action from the man they call Jayne.

And happy Oktoberfest to you crazy beer drinkers.

SJ -

I hope you have lots and loads of fun. Do you want someone to run Jayne around a bit if it proves necessary?

We will get to the next bit of fun stuff soon, I hope so too.

DECOY: Give me a call at seven-two-seven six-eight-seven five-two-eight-two... I need to take you up on your offer of help, but it looks like I don't have your number saved in my phone (and I thought I did...)

Also, I'm putting the word out that we're having Firefly Fridays at my house starting tomorrow (yeah, I know, super-short notice, but it's been a weird week, in many ways...). Hope you and Mercedes Troy can make it! Check your e-mail for details.

dang! I've been away for too long. First off apologies for my absence. I am having to work out of town and haven't had access to the internet much. Second, I will remedy my lack of posting either tomorrow night or saturday... as I am still out of town. Third, condolences to Channain's pop. Prayers are winging their way towards him. Fourth, Welcome Melfina!

Raven - ok, sounds good. can't wait to see what you are up to

Chan- my prayers for your dad, don't worry about the scene, its obviously not a priority. Besides, we still have a good wait before we can post it anyway

Melfina -

and welcome back to all who have returned from various away places

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