OK, it's Friday, it's beautiful outside and I don't feel like working. So, to make my day go by faster, I'm going to try and get a little story thread going. I hope to kick it off and let you guys run with it, since most of you are far more creative than I'll ever be (except for Zoid - and that's less a statement of fact than a challenge

).

So, I'll start off with the END of the story, and you guys work backwards. It can include Firefly/Serenity-related material (and why shouldn't it?), but it doesn't have to. Be creative. For my own purposes, I'll start it in the 'Verse.

Here goes:

Scene 37
A mass of ships, one after another, rise from the surface of Persephone and make their way back to the black, leaving Serenity alone near a picturesque canyon as the sun sets in a cloudless sky. Shepherd Book and Inara stand smiling at the top of the ramp as the rest of the crew, laughing and in conversation as they walk, makes their way back to the ship. Inara's focus turns to Mal .

Inara : That may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen you do.
Jayne : You hush. Dumb or not, everything came out fine.
Wash : Sounds like something your mother would have said when you were born.
Jayne : That's it, little man!
Jayne chases Wash, who is laughing uncontrollably, onto the ship.
Zoe as she walks onto the ship, shaking her head : Boys, boys, boys...
Book follows Zoe, laughing. River, Simon and Kaylee , sensing Inara's need to speak to Mal alone, turn back to the canyon and meander.
Kaylee : I didn't think it was THAT dumb.
Simon : No, it was pretty dumb. But, sometimes, I guess the end really does justify the means. (beat) I mean ... you're safe. (beat) That's all that matters.
Kaylee and Simon lean in for the inevitable Hollywood kiss and are interrupted by ...
River : Hey! I did all the work! She should be kissing me!
Simon playfully : Mei mei, go to your room.
Simon and Kaylee kiss as River sulks back toward the ship.
Mal to Inara : What do I always say about my crew?
Inara : "Stop running in the cargo bay." "Put that gun down." "Jayne, shut it." ...
Mal : AND - smartass - I also say ...
Inara : We're family. Look out for each other.
Mal : What's dumb about that?
Inara : That you wouldn't let me help - that you made me stay with the ship. Aren't I crew? Aren't I family?
Mal surprises Inara with a deep, passionate kiss : You're more.
They return to their embrace as River approaches.
River : Go se! I wan't my kiss, gorramit! Everyone else got one! Where's Jayne?
River runs onto the ship
Jayne, get your ass down here!

Who's got Scene 36?

ZOID

StP:

Don't you just hate it when the thread goes over like a lead balloon like this? I've had a few myself, and it doesn't so much hurt (well, okay, a bit) as it bewilders me that I'm all alone with my weird thoughts and sentiments. Not sayin' this idea was one of those, mind you. Just sayin'...

So, I'll keep you company and give you the requested Scene 36:

JAYNE: Unnngh!

Jayne, alone in his bunk, is now calm and sleepy. As he drifts off, he drowsily realizes that reality is twisting into a dreamtime place, a world full of possibilities that would never happen so casually in a Joss Whedon show. His last conscious thought before he succumbs into the arms of Morpheus is: "Wait a second. Who's this 'Josh Wheaton' feller and how'd he get into my dream?"

(After)Glowingly,

zoid

Oh, I'm all about the lead balloons, Z. Seems I leave them everywhere.

I figure poking fun at you was the kiss of death for this thread. That, or I'm more creative than I thought and I just blew everyone's mind.

I refuse to give myself that much credit.

StP,

See, your problem is that you did not make the thread about ME. Trust me on this. Make this a thread called "Mal-Licious Does The 'Verse," or "What Color Is Mal-Licious' Hair Today?" and you will get TONS of responses! My posts being the most prolific, of course. Closely followed by Zoid, Rat, TheRealMe, Tethys, ThatWeirdGirl, SimonWho, BadgersHat, Rhymephile, MAYBE Static and Grey, Neroli (if she is still out there and able to type), and many more! Plus, if you act now, you will receive several subsequent threads because the first ones will take too long to load because of all the posts! All for one low, low price of having your original thread taken away from you! What a value!

See the logic? Me neither. I just like to hi-jack.

"Hi, my name is Mal-Licious and I'm a thread jacker."

(everyone nods knowingly)

"I was born a poor conversation-jacker. But since the advent of the internet, my vice has turned to message board topics that are NOT about me. Most are, in fact, quite frequently, about the farthest things FROM being about me. But what do I do? I make them about me."

(everyone rolls their eyes)

"Ask Zoid. Ask TWG. They know. Yes, they know. I'd ask forgiveness, but we all know I'd just do it again. It's a disease. A disease I say!!"

(everyone looks for the nearest exit, just in case)

SteveThePirate: your thread has semi-officially been jacked. Remain calm. Just let it happen and no one will get hurt. They might even add to (or subtract from??) your original story! So, there's another potential bonus.

Mal-licious

I think I will add cursing and the hurling about of things to my repertoire.

'Lishy, The Giver (and Taker) Goddess wrote a number of Profound Truths, none more true than:

Quote:
(yada-yada) ...What Color Is Mal-Licious' Hair Today?... (et cetera)

SO?!? What color is it today? I'm on pins and needles (or is it 'needles and pins'?). At any rate, I need to know, right now!

Ummm... so I can update my Mal-Licious idol (or is it 'idle'?). At any rate, the little figurine I pray to for meaning in my life. And I've got some really nice tranquility candles on those 3' high gothic stands over by the Wall of 'Lishus (poster-size blow-ups!). Think: the video from The Police' "Wrapped Around Your Finger", but without Sting or the music, only me dancing and twirling...

(NB: Okay, I'm scaring myself.)

Worshipfully,

zoid,
'Lishus fanboy

P.S.
StP: Have you ever seen pics of Mmmm-a-licious? Gadzooks! (...or is it 'Zounds!'?) Most of the time her hair is kind of a henna-ed brunettish coppery medium blonde. It's something to see, and it looks really soft. I could say more, but I promised to keep it above the neck and at least a half a continent away. (Actually, not so much 'promised', as 'was court ordered'.)

Dude, you must be pulling my leg. So stop. I've got no ligaments in my knee.

Still, I thought my story of Jayne's post-masturbatory dream dove-tailed into your scenario pretty well, didn't you? Jayne a hero? Simon and Kaylee mature, loving and caring together? Hell, together at all? Mal and Inara as comfortable as a geriatric couple? In Joss Whedon's Firefly?! It sounded more like the final episode of "Friends", but without the angst.

What are you smoking? (And remember to pass left, bogart.

)

Hallucinogenically,

My new color does not have a name! I think she (Romainian Roxanne, the current dressser of the hairs) said it is a "cool neutral blonde highlight." So, it is a mixture of Creme Brulee and Crystal Brown with cool neutral blonde highlights.

At any rate, it basically looks the same as it always does. Happy now?

Oh, and I got promoted today! I am now a "Non- Fraud Claims Quality Assurance Analyst" for a major credit card bank! Yay me!

Congrats!

So... before your promotion you were a fraudulent "Claims Quality Assurance Analyst"? Does amnesty come with your new position?

Yes, yes I was.

No, no it doesn't. THAT was the aspect they liked most about me. After the cleavage.

No, no. You were right. Let's not sully, blah blah blah. It was an honor just to be nominated for the promotion. The nun outfit helped, I am sure. None of this "cleavage" nonsense.

So... any pictures of you in the nun's outfit? Preferably menacing with a ruler. Alternatively, Catholic schoolgirl's uniform...

P.S.
And I'm a little hurt. I whip out a totally extemporaneous 'sully' -- which I think sounds very antebellum and gentlemanly -- and it gets ignored like the final season of The X-Files... And I always say, "If you've got the cleavage, flaunt it," because, well, I'm a guy... Why wouldn't I say that? Can't hurt to try.

CONGRATULATIONS MALICIOUS!
You deserve to hijack this thread!
In fact you deserve to have a bright shiny new thread dedicated to you!
(I was just chewing out sanmi77 for creating five sanmi77-centric threads)

BTW Stevethepirate, I really really did want to add on to your story,
but you jumped into a full blown romance and I got all tongue tied...
you had more kissage in your scene 37 than Joss had managed in 13 episodes!
LOL

Wow - I'm gone for 16 hours and this thread is hoppin'! That's some impressive necromancy.

And yes, I'm acutely aware of how much Scene 37, for lack of a better word, sucked. I wanted it to - to see how creative everyone else could get. In short, I wanted to create the worst image of Firefly possible, since we all know Joss never will. It was more of a sarcastic take on fanfic, considering how much I despise fanfic.

I used to be great at sarcasm. I must be losing my touch.

So, in order to keep this un-dead thread a-poppin', let's talk about fair lady Malicious some more. Hair color, huh? Blue Ruin? Tangerine Dream? Agent Orange?

Since this is the proper thread for Mal worshipping, i must participate.

Oh great most high mistress Mal, I tried to dye my hair, but it didn't take. You must have some special powers to be able to brighten our world with your hair.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share in your glorious form.

'Lish:

Is it true what they say about Romanian women (i.e., that they are all drop dead gorgeous)? Best kept secret in the former Soviet Bloc, according to my sources...

And thank you for changing it to 'Roxanne the Romanian'. On another post, you had her as "Romainian Roxanne", and I was thinking, "Lettuce head?"

Obediently,
