Meanwhile in Pain's bunk....

Pain is snoozin' after a long hard day yesterday, where he had to scour the ship lookin' for Ertia and hecklin' Jack about his "moustache".

*chops us some nice fresh carrtos, what's left of the tomatoes, onions and some nice quality stmped protein and start a stew. Uses some the fresh rosemary and olive oil. Oh, and some taters. Sets it all goin' nice a pot*
Tehre - that outta be ready come dinner time. We can cook up that sourdough thats in the fridge and we'll have a mighty fine dinner. Wonder if anyone has some wine or brandy or something??
*leans over to pet kitty who is doin' figure eights around her legs* alright kitty, here's some protein AND milk - we still gotta name ya.

*fills bowls for kitty and wanders out of the galley, tea in hand*

*opens the fridge door*

Huh. Looks like someone made some stew. Hope they don't mind if I help myself to some.

*takes stew pot out of fridge and places it on the table*

*goes to pantry and takes a bowl, a spoon, and a napkin*

*places napkin on the table, opens stew pot and spoons out some stew into the bowl*

*sets bowl on the table right by his napkin and walks over to the counter*

*Pain grabs a mug and heads over to the coffee maker and pours some cold coffee into his mug*

*he sits back down at the table and starts to eat a late breakfast of cold stew, and wonders where everyone is*

*She thinks, Keep hearing things though, won't tell him that*

*saw his face when he took a sip of coffee*

Cheap imports, those guns, they are just replicas of good american guns.

*she takes his cup and says*

I'll make a new pot of coffee

*when she bends over the counter to get the coffee and reveals a tatoo but, what.... a "Colt Defender."

Yeah well I took it off a dead guy during a shootout a few years back, before I joined this crew. Perhaps once we land on New Hall I'll try to find a pawn shop and see if'n I can get somethin' better.

*Turns and smiles*

Yes, very good actually * she said to him*

Take a wing off a fly.

*takes the pistol outta the back of her pants, drops the clip, cocks it open and clears the round from the chamber.

*hands it to him with the grip facing him*

Take a look. Lighweight, very accurate and packs punch like a full size .45.*

I'll help ya shop for a piece if you'd like

*takes the gun from her and examines it*

Hmmm nice lil' gun ya got here. Light enough for concealed carry but heavy enough to where you'd probably knock someone unconscious if you were close enough to hit 'em with it.

*points it at the coffee maker*

Some damn good sights on it too, probably straighter than the sights on rest of the crew's firearms.

*twirls the gun on his right trigger finger and hands it back to Fly with the grip facing her*

*smiles*

You know what I think I'll take you up on that offer to help me pick out a new gun. Oh and nice tattoo by the way. Not that I was lookin' at it.

Neither Pain nor Fly had seen JRC leaning against the doorway, watching them banter back and forth.
"Took a gander at that there tat myself, Fly, may I also say right fetchin' it is too. Not real sure I like yur taste in pistols tho, but that's just my opinion. No offense."
He wanders over to the fridge, checking the leftover situation.
"Gah, no more stew for me, maybe just a slice or two of this cheese will do.....WHEWWWW, knew I smelt som'un funny. Oh well, forget that idea. Just lost my appetite. Maybe Shipscat will like it. Here kitty, kitty!!"

*Smiles at his tat remark, was hoping he noticed*

Took four hours for that thing.

*Smiles at JRC's comment*

Didn't see you there JRC. No offense taken. What do you prefer JRC?

*Once coffee was done she refilled Pains cup and handed it back to him*

*Says to Pain*

OK, as soon as we land, we'll see 'bout gun shopping. I look forward to it

*Takes a seat next to Pain*

*walks in using his cane, but his leg appears a little more stable*

*his 'mustache' has disappeared...however kitten whiskers seem to have found their way onto his face and nose*

*dust and grime from his work on the hover Mule covers his overalls*

Hey Fly, Pain! Missed you guys the past few days.

(Real World Moment: tax season in the States...argghhh!)

Rumor has it you guys are going gun shopping on NewHall...well if yo don't mind count me in. I still have to replace the revolver I lost on WhiteFall.

*looks to the left and then to the right*

*lowers voice*

Have you guys noticed anything strange recently...because I could'a sworn I saw a naked guy pop out of a crate in the Cargo Bay.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

*nods solemnly, his 'kitten whiskers' not moving*

Yeah a naked guy. I might'a been dreaming, but when I'm dreaming about naked people...it ain't male people...

*smiles around his cigar...which in turn makes his 'whiskers' twitch*

I reckon I'd better arm myself...just in case...well...you know the old saying,

Now, you know I'm tough. No, not a lot of pain until it hit the spine, just listened to the music and hugged the chair real hard.

So you like that, Mt. Bike parts. One of my favorite sports.

*Even though Mt. Bikes where pretty much a thing of the past now, when she was a child her dad had given her a bike that she fixed up with big ol' fat tires and she rhode that bike everywhere*
*What she wouldn't do to have another bike*

Yea I wonder if there is any shops in walkn' distance.

Radar climbs down from the rigging in the cargo hold all quiet and cat like. Reaching the bottom he turns and moves across to the weight bench. Fiddilin a bit he moves the weights around to his likin and begins to work out.

"Well, Fly, I reckon we can scour the ship a bit for this nekkid fella. Was meanin' to check out that empty box in the cargo bay. Actually, I'll go down there right down and check it out. You wanna look in the engine room? Plenty of nooks and crannies down there." *Goes to his bunk, and picks up a large version of a scatter-gun, meant to wound an animal (or human) and do no permanent damage.* "This'll be better than that heavy artillery they're carrying. Don't wanna be poking no holes in this ship." *Checks box, which is empty.* "Hmmm, nothin' here....." *Suddenly, he hears the proximity alert claxon roar to life* "What in the sphincter o'helll!!!!!" *Then, just as suddenly it stops, and a split second later the Cap'n's booming voice, "KITTY!!!
