Destiny-Episode 6: Return of the Browncoats by CallMeSerenity

A petition to bring back Firefly to TV. We'd need a ton of signatures for anyone to think about it (they tried and failed back when the show was actually up the first time) but what the heck, it doesn't hurt and it could help...

Amylisai, still enjoying the hat

Amy-so glad you like the hat! (funny and apropos! The picture in the top left corner is Jayne in his hat!!

)
I'm sorry it's not scrabbly and falling apart. I've been trying to do little imperfections, but it'd kind of hard.

But I'm sooooo glad you like it and I'm glad it fits and I really like the Schultz idea. I would love something Peanut-y. That would be neat. (And I don't even remember saying that I wanted Simon to be my sweet baboo, but it'd definitely be something I'd say, so I believe you.)

Let's see. I love Snoopy and Linus and Charlie Brown the bestest. I have no idea what kind of thing I'd like, so feel free to surprise me.

As to posting a picture, I would try emailing it to Soul and seeing if he can add it to our phot album or if you have an online photo album, you can post the link here. But either way, I want to see a picture!!

-------------------------------------------------

Amy and Serenity hear screaming and all kinds of scurrying noises from where they are hiding out in Serenity's bunk. But they are safe, for now, knitting away seemingly without care. But they're ready if the need arises. Beside them lay a fly swatter and a can of Raid.

The serpent alien thingies crawl across the windows of the infirmary leaving their trails of resin. Jayne keeps waiting for them to start crawling out of the vents.

Twenty or so of the crew cower in terror in the tight quarters of the infirmary.

Jack catches the eye of Safe, "Your turn."

"My turn to do what?"

"To save the ship, the crew, and everything!"

"42."

"What?" Jack asks.

"So you're telling me that I've got to save the ship, kill a hundred or more little serpent aliens, recover Needy, and whoever else isn't here in the infirmary???"

"Well, sure," Jack replies, "I had the evil robots," he looks over to Jayne, "No offense. But this is MUCH easier than them."

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you want me to do? I have no pants!" Jack exclaims, "You're the handyman, not a shop laborer! Plus..."

"Plus what?"

"You're Canadian. Doesn't that make you like better at this stuff than I?"

Safe: "All right all ready. Just put some pants on."

"Flechette, do you have that concoction done yet"

Flechette: "Hear you go. I added a little nutmeg too."
Safe & Jack: "Nutmeg???"
Flechette: "Don't you guys know, nutmeg goes with everything" *rolls her eyes*

Safe & Jack look at each other, Dr. Me is obliviously trying to salvage what's left of his hair and not suceeding.

Over the intercom cracks a voice. "Umm...hello, anybody. This is Jazaf, it's getting pretty crowded up here. And I broke my flyswatter."

Safe takes the concoction from Flechette and hooks the container up to the fire-hose.
"Ok, on the count of three, open the door"
"One"
"two....I said open on three!! not two!!"
All manner of bedlam break loose.

Safe hits the lever turning on the hose. The concoction mixes with the water creating a Nutmeggy foam which erupts from the hose at full pressure. Soon the infirmary is filled with foam, and Safe has headed off down the corridor dragging the hose and spreading foam eveywhere.

Dr. Me is admiring his new foam hairdo in the mirror. Jack & Jayne try to shake of the majority of the foam. They look up and Flechette is standing remarkably free of foam.

Jack: "How...??"
Flechette: "I found this rubber hazmat suit in a trunk with all these other hazmat suits."

Where the foam touched the creatures, they bubble up and dissolve. Everything feels ....effervescent.

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

As Safe drags the hose down the cooridor, he is unaware as a rather large slimy thing crawls through a crack in the ceiling and drops towards his head, fangs extended. Safe suddenly becomes aware of it, however, when with a boom it explodes, spraying bits of slimy goodness all over him.

"Okay," Safe says, "That's just wrong."

Safe looks up to see Soul standing at the end of the hallway, his boomstick smoking as he grins.

"I know," Soul says. "Dramatic re-entrance and everything, but when you spend as much time in your bunk as I do, you just have to make a bang."

Just then, from above, Jazaf begins to yell.

Thank you Serenity!

at the Browncoat boards http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/

last night they posted a trivia question concerning Duct tape and Firefly. I literally had just refreshed the screen and it popped up--- then like a fool I seconded guessed myself and did a quick google search to confirm my answer --

the first person to respond/email the correct answer gets an autographed Press Kit. the next 5 get Prize packs.

they'll be doing this for the rest of the week so it may be worth checking the site frequently :D

and I'm delirously happy with the Prize pak - whatever it may contain!

JAZAF

'Gorram it! I was hoping the bugs wouldn't come any bigger than 3 inches...Not 3 Feet!!!' Jazaf yells.

Jazaf, cornered by a rather large bug-like intruder, had tried earlier to persuade it out of the room with the flyswatter with little effect. The creature snatched the swatter and snapped it with it's mandibles.

'This is not shiny.....' Jazaf says as he closes his eyes. Suddenly, Jazaf heard a loud boom and felt something odd cover him. He opened his eyes to find,
'.....Foam?'
'Of the Nutmegy Alka Seltzer persuasion, courtesy of the Mad Doctor Me.' Safe said smiling.
'I was gonna take it out with my boomstick when Safe told me that their blood might be acidic. Then he just started foaming every gorram thing in sight.'
'Well, O.K. then.' Jazaf said still shaking from his near-death experience.

I am bad about keeping track of stuff on there. It's just not as much fun as over here.

I'll try to swing over there later and see what I can do. Anything to help out my crew.

In a word. Traffic.

The site has had alot of traffic as the movie's gone up, and it doesn't have the bandwidth to accommodate.

I'm not overly netsavvy, but Haken is looking into other means from what I've read onsite.

So...
It looks like I'm the first one to sign on since seeing it last night. I've got a horrible headcold which is not helping me deal with the shock of last night.
Has everyone seen it? Can we talk about it?
On a positive note, by brother went as "two by two" guy, my sister was adorable as Kaylee, I did the Inara in a white shawl and red dress thing, and my boyfriend wore the Jayne hat. I have a cute picture of us all. Nowhere California turned out to be slightly low on fan enthusiasm sadly, but there were a bunch of people there who clearly appreciated our costumes and gave us thumbs up for "representing".

So what did you all think of the BDM?

Seconded!

But I figure Safe or Serenity should start it-

Gah - I'm glad people are looking into the Serenity Fanbase but darn I missed this site since Friday!

Still there can't be much better than seeing Serenity with 200-300 other fans- the Raleigh Premiere Party Rocked!!

Yes, the NCBDMPP in Raleigh was a success. It was amazing!

And it was sooo great to see Flechette again, and to meet Dr. Me in real life! And Tim!

Flechette made me the coolest Zoe necklace. I love it!

A fantastic time was had.

I only saw the movie twice over the weekend, but I plan to see it again this weekend, and the weekend after that, and the weekend after that....

But if we're going to start talking about it, we may have to post a spoiler notice!!

*Serenity and Amy are still holed up in Serenity's bunk, knitting away.*

There, I just finished Dr. Me's Jayne hat. I wonder if anyone else wants one. I've got lots of yarn left.

It's gotten awfully quiet. I wonder if it's safe to come out now.

Serenity and Ami hear noises at that moment outside the hatch.

Suddenly the hatch bursts open and a large foam covered object drops/falls through and lands with a resounding thud at the bottom of the ladder.

The foam stands up, and moves toward Serenity and Ami.

"Any bugs in here?" Safe's voice comes out of the foam.

Serenity: Safe, you look like you've just been through a car wash and missed the rinse and dry cycle.

Wee, looks like the site may be back up! I've tried often and couldn't get through. We should start a new thread with "spoilers" in the title so we can discuss the film.

I'm jealous y'all went to happenin' screenings and got to hang out together. Mine was very dead (except for my family going in costume)--we were the only ones singing the ballad of Serenity during the credits!

So I finally did the thing I said I was going to do and went through the news archives and racked up credits. What with those and the new poll & trivia, I collected near 400 points. How shiny is that?

Still don't have near enough for much. But that's okay, I don't want to spend them.

What I want is another crew challenge. Because that was fun.

Well, I guess I can go help rescue Needy. I guess. Let me just go hide all of my nice clothes first.
