OOC 21 "Adventures In GunRunning" by CapnRahn

CapnRahn pointed me over here, told me to comment if I were interested in joining. I'd love to see the logs, catch up, see what's been going on, and if it wouldn't be treading on anyone's toes, I'm sure I'd enjoy joining in... *waves 'hello' shyly*

Welcome Inaraesque -

The more the merrier! Have a look around, read what you like, comment if you desire. We are all family here.

You have any questions, get back to the Capn, to me, or anyone else for that matter.

*hugs*

Have fun, and if you decide to join in the fun, that would be shiny!

We can always use another hooker. No pun intended. More heathens means more conversions from the Shepherd.

Welcome Inaraesque! I was just saying to Merz the other day that Inara and Thorne have been in that shuttle an awfully awfully...awfully LONG time. If you could at least bring our girl up for air, that would be entirely appreciated.

My character, Fa-Zhou Rowan, and Inara have a connection in that Rowan's sister, Aislin, is a companion, and was Inara's tutor in Chinese brush painting. Inara helped Rowan get in contact with Aislin, who is now a companion on board a luxury liner called Selene.

To get acquainted with the new characters or "Hitchers," there is a thread that should help.

Capn First, thanks for the phone call the other night. I truly do appreciate it. No word on when Dad's surgery will be yet. I expect to find out this evening after class.

Second, could I request that you change out Rowan's eye color to 4CC552, which looks more like jade and less like stoplight green?

pretty please?

Your wish is my command, O Ebon Dragon Puppeteer!

Astriana : Yer welcome!

Inaraesque : You send a email to Haken with the pic you want as your avatar attached. He likes it as a 45x45 pixel gif or jpeg format. I worked on a few of the avatars here on AiGR. So if you need help adjusting the pic and so forth, let me know.

Dad Update (feel free to ignore):
His surgery is scheduled for October 29, which is the Friday before Halloween. Get this though, he's also on "standby." That means that if someone cancels, he can get in and have it done sooner. Does that sound right to anyone else? This is open-heart surgery we're talking about, and they make it sound like he could stand around the hospital with an open-ended pass to the surgical theater or something. It's just crazy.

Classes have begun, but I only have to be at school Mondays and Wednesdays now. I have two online courses this quarter, but we get to do those one at a time. In short, I should be around more often, but don't quote me on it.

Quietly he balances on the deck with his right leg. Mal settles in and gets comfortable. He then focuses on listening to the voices from down below in the bay.

Dad Update: He's in surgery even as we speak - has been for about 3 hours (went in at 7:00 AM Central). They got the "standby" call yesterday at about 3:00P and the hospital said if they could get down there last night, he could get in and get it done this morning.

I'm at work for a couple hours to tie up some loose ends, but I'm headed out. I don't know what my online-ability will be for the next few days. That means if anyone needs to borrow Rowan for a scene during the weekend, you have my permission. So long as she doesn't end up nekkid, walking a tight rope on her hands or some such...

Maybe have her come out in time to see the "Run for the Infirmary", lol.

Howdy Capn, it's all good. I like to be kept up with the flow like that. I was hoping Book's words to the Cap in the cargo bay would cause a little bit of an awkward scene when the Cap was found eavesdropping, but it got avoided... lucky for you.

Hey, I was just checking out some of the links we have in our Alpha post, the mechanics of RPing one to be presise. I came across those shiny maps and I was wondering if anyone ever made a layout for the shuttles. Do you guys know?

Maniac: sorry, the awkward moment avoidance was my doing. for the life of me I couldn't think of how to get Mal out of there without Damon getting mad at him (which neither of them need right now I think). I was planning on waking River soon anyway (thanks to some subtle prompting from SJ

Question, the first: How long is too long when it comes to posts?

I was speaking with Ciara and she sent me a post that she and Geezer wrote for a morning-after scene with Inara & Thorne... as this is still the same night, I've edited it a bit and framed it to get Inara back into the game... but it's a long'un. Is that okay?

Question, the second: Is Thorne still around?

Inaraesque -

As you will see from some of the recent posts, sometimes long is not a particular problem. So if it works for you, just go ahead.

As for Geezer/Thorne - your guess is as good as mine. He has not spoken for weeks.

If need be we, and it probably will need to be, we can have someone pick him up for a time - I suggest RavenWhitewing actually.

Ant thoughts on that Raven, Capn???
