The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

Well I wouldn't be a keeper of secrets if I gave them away would I?

Well its not like it affects you much, but lets just say I'm the Joey, and two of my friends are the Chandler and Monica

I'd like to get started on the Mal costume, but I've nowhere to start. I haven't got a browncoat, but now I think about it, in some of the movie images, Mal didn't wear a browncoat.. just had some of those horrible black braces - still a browncoat would cover up the fact that I haven't got a holster

Now, back to the story...

-----------

Whilst a pack of Kimmel Clones rampage against the members of Destiny’s crew that have grouped together to fight off this new foe, a small number of Kimmels march through the unconquered rooms of Destiny, seeking other lifeforms to unite with or destroy.

Kimmel 419 and Kimmel 1138 have been sent to a section that has often been frequented by the crewmembers but now apparently seemed empty.

The door to the infirmary was shut, but that wasn’t going to stop this pair of clones from gaining access. The pressure from the water that had completely filled the room however would.

419 looked intently through the round window of the door, but his vision was obscured by the darkness of the room. He could just make out a glimmer of light, no doubt a cracked opening in the ship’s wall.

“No one could survive in that” 419 said to 1138, before they passed on, towards another room

Meanwhile within the infirmary, a person had in fact survived, but was no longer his usual self…

Needy, swam away from the chair that he had only a few hours previous been strapped in for the safety of the other crewmembers.
Making his way to Dr Me’s cupboard, the one that is usually locked but at this time was left unlocked, he opened it to reveal a variety of gadgets.

He grabbed one of them – a funky snorkel of sorts, only smaller and not as goofy looking, and quickly puts is on, thus being able to breathe for the first time in one felt like a lifetime.
Next, he turned his attention to a gun, which resembled a harpoon gun, only being another of Me’s marvellous inventions, it wasn’t what you’d expect. Taking aim, he fired the weapon at the cracked wall from which the water poured in. As the thick arrow hits the metal above the opening, a canvas shoots out from the back of the arrow, which forms a large patch over the crack.

Perfect shot Needy thinks to himself.

Next he grabs the large heavy silver brief case that lays flat at the bottom of the cupboard, and drags it along the floor of Destiny as he swims towards the door.
Before he does anything stupid like opening the door however, he needs to drain the water. Punching a few keys into the panel near the door (which is fortunately water-proof, protecting it for just these types of situations), a panel opens and, however illogical it may sound, drains the liquid from the room and forces it back outside of the ship.

"Now that’s impressive" Needy declares, marvelling at the ingenious design and features of the ship.

However, in all the excitement, he only now takes a moment to realise a blaringly obvious fact… the infirmary door is much larger than he remembered

But it wasn’t the ship’s fault.

Somehow, the organism that had gestated in his body, the bits of human flesh he had taken into his system, the endless marshmallows and the liquid that filled the room that wasn’t normal water had combined and left an incredible side-effect on the boy whore...

Needy was the person he always had been… only now, 1/3 of his normal size

Talk about shrinkage!

"Noooooooooo" screamed the Mini-Needy

Oooh, interesting! Mini-Needy. We'll have to find a way to unshrink you. (Hey, Willy Wonka can do it!)

PsychicRiver, my dear, I've had a bit of an idea. We need a River, your sister has a River outfit, but she's not a member of the crew. SO my idea is thus-can you set her up with an account at the UB and then we can get Soul to make her a member of the crew (we have to bump somebody but there are about 20 people who have never contributed so that shouldn't be hard) and then we won't be cheating and we can make her an honorary crew member. Even if she never contributes again. Who cares? No one else does.

What do you say? I ran the same idea by Soul and am waiting to hear back from him.

Any suggestions on what I need to find for a Mal costume? I haven't anything that resembles such a beast. Like anyone's going to let ME have a gun.

I think the key would be the suspendered pants and darkly bold button up shirt with rolled up sleeves.

Mmmm... Might have to shave my beard for this one.

Well, the first line of defense is the local thrift store (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc). All kinds of costumy goodness for really cheap. That's how my sister put together he Kaylee costume--the day of the opening!

Secondly, some brown ribbon or hem tape down the sides of your trousers would help (pin it if you don't want to permanently have Mal pants). That will only cost you a couple bucks at a craft or sewing store (JoAnn's, Michael's, Beverly's, etc). Heck you could even fake the suspenders with more ribbon. You're right that the brown coat's the hardest part. Ask all your friends now while you assemble the rest of the costume, maybe somebody will have something. For a photograph you could use a cloth cloat from the thrift store, 'cause the non-leather won't necessarily show up depending on lighting :-)

Anyone else need help? I love costuming. I think getting Psychic River's sister in would be awesome. Though everyone should submit even if we double up (points for every submission!) we get extra if we represent the whole crew, but I don't want anyone to feel left out. I have River hair, but I can't think of any flowy little dresses...I'll have to give that some thought as a back up. I do have a lot of ballet clothes and maybe some of them would work--wonder if my sister still has her combat boots...

Nice to have Destiny back together (I mean the crew members, I haven't forgotten the peril). It's been at least a few days since we've heard from some people :)

I'm going to the annual Civil War ball of my reenactment group this weekend. My boyfriend will wear my soldier's uniform (seriously). I definitely need to send you those long-promised pictures of the dress, Serenity! I should be able to get a few good ones this weekend.

So good luck with the peril, (someone please reply to this so I can open with the latest thread--thanks Needy, it was time!) I'll be back next week.

I don't have Kaylee-alls yet, but I can scrounge up a pair at a thrift store or army surplus. If I don't have to put a roof on a Habitat for Humanity house tomorrow, I'll have more time to hunt. But if we don't get the roof on the house, it'll seriously put the construction schedule behind because it won't go on till after Thanksgiving. Dilema.

Amy-have mucho fun at the ball, and I expect pictures!

The few surviving and conscious members of the crew meet back up in the common room, which they've managed to fortify against flooding and Kimmels. Dr. Me tends to the wounded. Flechette hands out hot beverages and scones.

"Okay, anyone got any ideas as to how to get us out of this mess? We don't have much time left before we run out of life support and we all get hypothermia and die, or the evil clones get back in and kill us all. Oh, and someone took all our weapons and ammo."

Jack - how badly do you want to do a Mal costume?

I ask cause with Serenity's suggestion of getting rid of some excess weight crew members - we could get rid of 2 and my husband Tim has most the Mal costume already-

Browncoat, Guns, Red shirt, Tan pants,

and he is a browncoat board member already---

OTOH if you really want to do this then by all means costume away!

Honestly, I say we flush some of the useless crew and back your husband. I'd like to say I could make the time for the costume, but my new job's an adjustment that might eat up my time and give me precious little to work with it.

I'm more of a Jayne(in appearance) than a Mal, anyway.

I think dramatic pose would work the best. Most Riveresque. The blond is a bit distracting, but who cares? An effort was made.

Jayne scratches his head as he reads Jack's moniker from the previous note, "Android resusit-what?"

"Resusitation," Lexa replies, "Mouth to mouth, as he seems to refer to. He looks like he could be in shock," she observes.

"Oh," Jayne says with his normal drawl, "I think I saw TRM do this once," he points at Jack, "You watch this one, darlin'," he bends down, "He's a weird one.."

It dawns on Serenity almost instantly as Jayne picks up Jack's head, "Jayne, I don't think..."

Safe and Alex chase the last two Kimmels into the cargo bay. Safe skids to a stop, calmly puts away his gun.

Alex,"what are you doing?? We almost have them" gestures at the fleeing Kimmels.

Safe holds up a hand, stopping Alex from continuing, pulls out his bat and a grenade. Alex gaps as he realizes what Safe has in mind. Safe tosses the grenade up in the air. Alex's eyes follows the grenade as it goes up.

Safe grips the bat tightly, a shark like grin creeps across his face, and swings...catching Alex in the side of the head. Alex drops like a sack of potatoes. Safe reaches out and catches the grenade, pulls out his gun and shoots the fleeing Kimmels.

Safe holsters his bat and gun, leans over the unconcious Alex. "Well you did keep yer eye on the ball, but you were standin' in MY batters box"

I will email my picture to Soul now. Unfortunately I've been running around working a lot and interviewing for new jobs (one of which I know I will start soon because I got two offers today AT LAST! It is SO HARD to find a job in the boonies with a fresh BA), so I haven't been helping much with the peril (besides, y'all are better at that than me). I will simply pose in the lounge outside the infirmary River-esque with Kimmel parts dripping from my chopsticks as the doors open and the crew gazes in awe... (yes, inspired by our favorite movie). Yay for our crew, we all pitched in and killed the clones, what about facing the cold next?

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

The Kimmel clones had been defeated, but Destiny still was in danger. The lake it had crashed into was hardly hospitable, and to make matters worse, the liquid that surrounded them was no ordinary water. The crew had to figure out how to rise from the watery depths.
As several important crewmembers (and some, not so important) gather together to discuss the matter, fielding suggestions as to how to get out of the mess, the lone Needy has other things on his mind...

Needy had heard the gunshots that had rang out - killing the two remaining Kimmel clones - but he had the feeling there was something he needed to attend to. Yes, he was still incredibly short, but there was also an eerie feeling that the trouble onboard Destiny was only a taster of what was to come... something else was going on.

So, as he had done in the past before he joined the crew, Needy followed his instincts. He ignored the compulsion to go and help his fellow crewmembers - sure they had helped him get rid of his alien-infection, but he also felt betrayed by the fact that they had left him in alone the infirmary throughout the entire clone attack. Not to mention the fact that his shrinkage was no doubt due to their treatment of him.

Yes Needy walked away from his friends, and now was heading to the opposite end of the ship. His journey was not down to just his instincts though. After escaping the infirmary, he found out from the computer that a large amount of power was being diverted to the Chamber - the one room that was never used. It was a fairly large room, though filled with pipes and wires and fairly cold - both in look and in temperature. It was a ghost room. On similar ships, such a room would beused for storage, but on Destiny it had never been used for anything, not even as part of Needy's freaky sex games.

Truth be told, Needy was just a little bit terrified of The Chamber - it reminded him of the tales he was told as a child "a room where the most hideous creatures and evil spirits reside". He knew they were stories told to children that grew up on ships so that they would not enter rooms they shouldn't, he knew it was but an urban legend, if that. Yet he still found it unsettling just to think about such a room.

This wasn't the time for cowardice though, even though Needy was often quite a scaredy cat, he realised that today would be his moment to prove to others once and for all, that he is able to take control of a situation... and it needn't only be in whoring

The Chamber room was locked.

Of course it was. It would have to be, if, as Needy had suspected, that someone was orchestrating things from behind the scenes, they're hardly going to be exposing themselves to an attack from the rear

Needy desperately shook of the sexual innuendo these words brought up - now was not the time! It was time though, to put some of that untapped potential to his to use. Remembering back to his days in training, Needy recalled a handy way to open locked doors - by shorting out the circuit of the computer controls and then prying the doors open manually, usually with a crowbar.
It wasn't an easy task, as shorting out the circuits normally would take a lot longer and more focus than you see in movies... fortunately he remembered that none of this was necessary after all.

Reaching down and opening Dr Me's bag that he had been carrying around with him, he found the Circuit Responder, which basically was a handheld device that remotely accessed any nearby electrical equipment and allowed you to do whatever you want - in this case open the door.

As the door opened, Needy exclaimed "Dr Me is a genius!"

"That he is"

Needy looked up and took in the unbelievable sight.

The Chamber glowed a bright orange. The pipes and wires were clearly in view, but no longer looked clunky and out of place, but in fact right at home in the room which resembled the inside of a computer. The floor and walls were like circuit boards, and wires ran from all directions to the centre of the room where situated was a large metal chair. The chair was a simple framework and in fact seemed dangerous in of itself by its primitive looking design. Cold and merciless would be just two words to describe it. Next to the chair was a 8 ft high booth, like a telephone box or transporter - designed for one person to stand in, or perhaps more accurately, walk out of. Above it all was a orange glowing ball. Needy couldn't make out if it was a man-made light source or cosmic matter generated by the room itself.

It didn't seem to matter, Needy was soon distracted by the man sitting in the chair

"Dr Me is more than that though" the man carried on talking

"Kimmel!" Needy discovered

"The one and only" Kimmel stated proudly

"I think you're mistaken there... there's a whole group of you out there. You did this?"

"You're mistaken. They are merely copies. I am the one and only... the original"

"Is that right? Why'd you do this? What do you want?"

"Oh how mixed up you are. You surely have not yet found the way to enlightenment. I'm sure my brethren will show you the way though" Kimmel's tone remains calm throughout. He fears nothing.

"You're brethren... I'm pretty sure, they're all dead" Needy retorts. He hopes that such a revelation would at least make the Kimmel a little angry, but The Original keeps his composure.

"You are referring to the aggresive force in which your crewmembers met my brothers... but it doens't matter. If they are gone, it doesn't mean its over. We will not stop until you lay down your arms".

"Hey the only laying I'm prepared to do involves Jessica Alba and a king size bed!"

"That can be taken care of"

"Really?" Needy perks up

"We can make your wishes come true. We have the technology... if you will submit to us, we can make your dreams come true"

"And this we would be you and...?"

"My father of course"

"Your father? Mr Kimmel?"

"No, you misunderstand yet again. Not my birth father, but the one who helped show me the way, who brought me here. He can bring anyone aboard, anyoen you so desire... he can make their minds over until they conform to the right way of thinking"

"Is that right?" Needy is perturbed by this statement. How long has Jimmy Kimmel been on this ship, and whats with the weird cult-leader vibe? "Well, is daddy home?"

"Of course. This is his home, he never leaves."

"Well... can I talk to him then"

"You may... as soon as the good Doctor returns from accomplishing his task"

"Wait... Dr... Dr Me? He's involved in this?"

"Dr Me... he is our father" Kimmel reveals

Needy's jaw drops. Only four words come to mind.

"Son of a...!"

No, Needy, that was a great, forward-moving post. I think a lot of us have been drawing a blank as to what should happen next :) If only Dr. Me would sign on and shine in his moment of power now...

What I really want to respond to is the costuming stuff (Because I am the Queen O' Fancy Garb after all, y'know). There seems to be some confusion as to what people should dress up as. First priority: DRESS AS WHAT EVER CHARACTER YOU CAN. You get points just for submitting, so be whoever you want!
Second priority: DRESS AS A DIFFERENT CREW-MEMBER SO THAT THEY ARE ALL REPRESENTED. So yes, people can dress up as more than one person to get them all represented. We can also have duplicates of characters. Our end goal is to have all nine people "in the house" (should I say ship?), but everyone gets points simply for dressing up so don't let it hold you back to be the same person as someone else.

Who've we got so far?
Sounds like we got a
Mal (Flechette's hubby)
Zoe (Flechette--can't help thinking of "take me sir, take me hard")
Wash? I remember someone here did him for the last scavenger hunt, we need you!
Book--someone was just asked
Simon?
River (Psychic River's little sister, I will also pose for River if I have time)
Kaylee? Serenity was going to look into this, we also have my sister's pic already submitted
Jayne--guess we've got a lot of these, plus my boyfriend's already submitted
Inara (Amy Lisa)
Hands of blue man (my brother)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just think, you could always be Patience or Badger or Nitzka or Yo-Saph-Bridge! This is supposed to be fun :)

Thanks Amy!

yeah, we really need to get our pictures in. Time's running out.

I will try to do mine in the next day or two, so I have time to get the pictures developed and scanned and all that. Man I need a digital camera. Sheesh, too hard.

I'll still dress as Kaylee. But we really do need you men-folk to step up to the plate. Ooh, Safe! I just used a baseball metaphor! Are you proud?

Very good Serenity!!

I'll try to get the picture tomorrow. This office move has been hell. My computer at work has been unhooked, just back on line today. But now I have 3 days worth of work to catch up on.

I'm having a similar problem because of the holiday. Cram 5 days of work into 3 (well, now it's 4 days into 2.) Ack! Plus, I HAVE to go to the store tonight and buy groceries so I can spend Weds night/Thurs. morn baking and cooking and whatnot. I don't wanna go to the grocery store 2 days before a major holiday, but of course I didn't plan well enough ahead. Grrrrr.

Plot-wise, I got nothin'. Sorry!

Okay, I got my Kaylee pictures taken last night. I'll get them developed and hopefully sent to Soul tonight. How's everyone else doing.

Just a reminder, the deadline is FRIDAY! So we need to get the pics to Soul BEFORE friday so he can post them to the UB.

Happy Thankgiving to all our US crew members!

I don't envy you the turkey, only the atmosphere. (I don't like turkey, cranberry, squash, turnip and pumpkin pie) But I really enjoy the Thankgiving vibe. I'm not sure if Vibe is the right word...

I'm email my picture tonight.

Happy Thursday to the non-Americans. Think about me at home, sleeping in and eating too much yummy food while you're working!

Hopefully Soul will repost the photoalbum because I don't remember what the link is.

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

Hey all again.

I've been checking here every now and again to see if anyone's furthered the story, but not yet apparently. So I might do that later
As for now I just thought I'd talk about Firefly names... do any of you folks know anyone that shares their name with a BDH?
The reason I say this is because last week I was playing bowling and discovered that someone on our team, who I've known for years spells her name Jayne (I had no idea there was a Y involved). Funnily enough she is a pure Jayne/Cordelia character - she says what she thinks and doesn't care, just whatever's on her brain. Which I found quite fitting.

Also my friend's son is named Malachy, and I often call him Mal (one day he'll be a browncoat, I assure you)... and lastly but not least, another friend's last name is Reynolds. What are the chances eh?

I jsut thought I'd mention that little story here since I had nothing else to say... for now

But I will get back to the story in a bit
