The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

Meanwhile, at that closed bar...

Three men stand at the front door of Mack's Bar.
Two of them are large menacing looking goons, both with shorn hair, the third noticeably different. He is shorter; measuring in at about 5ft8 compared to their 6ft4 statures, and has long scraggly hair and a scruffy beard.
His name is Mack, and he is the owner of the store.

He has only just unlocked the door and started to open it by the time the goons had pushed him in hastily.

“We ain’t got all day!” the goon named Fish growled. “Where’d you keep the stash?”

“Yeah, yeah sure. One moment” the jittery owner replies, walking over to the back room of the bar and entering.

There is silence as the two goons look impatiently at each other. After a minute of waiting with no word from Mack, one of them calls out.

“What’s taking so long?!”

There is no answer.

Fish signals to his colleague to check it out.

There in the room cowers Mack.

“I… I… it was here.” He stutters

“What you talkin’ about?!” the goon snarls

“It was here, right here. Somebody’s taken it. I swear, it was here before I left”

“What’s going on?” Fish asks, appearing in the open doorway

“It was here, I swear” the scared owner repeats

“Looks like we’ve got a problem” the second goon adds with a hint of sadistic pleasure.

Mack rises slowly. “The back door… it was open. Someone must have got in and stolen it…”

The goons advance on him

“I can get it back, I swear. And you’ll still make your appointment on time. Please…”

Fish grabs Mack by his collar, and raises him up so that he is barely on his tiptoes

“You’d better. For your sake”

Fish lets go of his collar suddenly, sending Mack crashing to the floor.

“So… who are we going to pay a visit?” the unnamed goon asks with a wicked grin.

Safe slumps into a seat beside Soul.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to let Dr. Me tinker with those... walking toasters?"

Safe grabs the bottle and takes a big swig and promptly spits it all back out again.

"GAH!! I thought you were gonna put that bottle of cranberry juice away??"

Soul shrugs. "What's the worst that could happen?" He tries to say it seriously, but Safe can tell that the Captain is hiding a grin.

"You know," Safe replies, "I'm learning that that's a question best not asked around here."

Soul finally lets the grin show and passes Safe the correct bottle. Safe grabs it and takes a chug.

"GAH!! What in the good gorram is this?" Safe cries. "It's worse than the cranberry juice!"

"Milk. It's good for your bones."

Safe mumbles something under his breath and grabs at another bottle, this time sniffing it to make sure it's what he's looking for.

"That's the stuff."

Hi All,
Thanks for the recap, Needy! And all the humor, Safe, Needy.
When I'm not so tired, I'll think of some funny things for Willie to see as she enters the ship. I imagine people will be on their *best* behaviour (haha)

Safe, can you give me a link so I can read the fun stuff I was involved in on your other thread? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Sure, if you've got your stuff saved anyway, that could save me a lot of time. Unless there's other peoples responses to your posts that make part of the story, then I should do a search for "Amy" or "Flechette" and tab through to read our parts :) What do you think is best?

The Serei-Tree thread is always fun to read. Some stuff is... a bit out there, but there is lots of talent there too. Have a look. If it gets to be too much PM me and I'll send you the condensed version. I've saved everthing I wrote on the Boros adventure. I've saved the pertinant responses too.

I'm thinking of turning it into a fanfic. A friend of mine wants me to put it into book form.

Safe, you should sooo turn the Boros story into a fic - its great stuff

If you'd like, you could even go back, and change little bits you didn't like or add some bits to it - "The Director's Cut"... or alternatively "The George Lucas Inspired Tinkering Cut" Though the latter is a bit long-winded

I've just read your latest two entries and they're fantastic - I loved the first post where Jack and Safe parted ways and got a good laugh from this part in the second post:

Thanks Needy and Serenity!! I was going to add In A Galaxy Far Far Away, but figure that was too over the top.

And the Safe and Jack parting ways was done on my buddy's wife's(versereader) insistance. She felt that the original was too rushed and needed proper closure.

She was upset Safe "left Amy behind"

"Milk hunh? Isn't that what they feed babies?"

Maybe, but I would have liked it. I mean there are lightsabres and all sorts of other things going on at the Tree - I don't think your description would qualify as going over the top. But still, it works with or without

As for leaving Amy behind - its true its sad, but who's to say he won't see her again - see them all again?

Oh no! Spoilers! I just logged on so I could go read Safe's stories (with me in them, I must admit that peaked my interest) and lo! a spoiler! I get left behind. 'Course George Bush has been doing that to lots of kids for years... so why should I be special?

As Willie enters the ship, the tour begins. On the walls of the cargo bay she spies the "museum" to adventures past (tastefully framed and hung by the female members of the crew)--a jar of foam, a framed piece of Kimmel clone 2000, the cremated remains of crewmembers past, a party hat...

Wow, well my foray into the SereniTree just made me all the more eager to read Needy's and Safe's fiction. I can see how you both have improved as writers over the last few months (gosh, this crew has probably been hanging out together for about six months now!).
I flipped through the Boros adventure and caught a lot of the highlights, but I read it all out of order going from one thread to the next. I would LOVE to read it through straight and really see the story as it's supposed to be. I can tell that the characters really come to be close and I'd like to see that happen (as well as reading more about the shiny exciting adventures!). Can you gents please send me your docs? My email address is
amylisai@gmail.com
I look forward to it very much. And as the daughter of a published novelist, I promise to give feedback. Can't wait to read. Thanks!

Sorry, my bits with the Brides were not specifically saved. I just posted them on the Sereni-Tree. I can determine the thread where the Boros adventures start, and you can look for posts by Safe, Citizen, Needy, Bride7, and myself. I always tried to put "On Boros:" at the top of all the boros threads I posted. But there were other things going on.

Safe turns in mid swallow and see's Willie walk by, arm looped in Jazaf's.

Choking, he knocks over his chair, trips and falls over the overturned chair, hops back up dusting himself off and runs after them.

As the tour continues, a space monkey jumps down into the coridor ahead of Willie, scratches himself, and with a happy "hoo hoo hoo" runs away down the hall.

JAZAF

Jazaf continues on his tour.
'Theres the bathroom, the kitchen, the sleeping qurters, the showers, the common room, the sleeping quarters...'
Jazaf hears a thud behind him. He turns and sees Safe on the floor. Jazaf smiles a bit, 'And this is our ever-loveable Handy man!' He points to Safe who is lying face first on the floor. 'He may not look it at the moment since he's.....'
'Inspecting the Floorboards!' Safe says as he leaps to his feet.
'Gotta make sure these floors are nice and sturdy with all the commotion we've had lately. Like the time when....'
'Oh Needy and Jaz filled me in pretty good.'
'They did?' Safe said, obviously crestfallen.
'They mentioned some kind of Nutmeg Foam gun. Bein' a mechanic I'd love to see the schematics on that.' She says as she leaves Jazaf's side for Safes'.
Safe breaks into a wide grin and his face flushes. 'Right this way.'
Before Jazaf can ask about finishing the tour Soul stops him.
'Hey there, Jaz. Got a favor I wanna ask of you.'
The emphasis on favor makes Jazaf haunch his back as he turns to look at Soul.
'After the Ship is repaired Jack, Needy, Serenity and Jayne have some awfully sticky clothes they'd like you to wash. Seems they got caught in a bad mess on their way to the settlement.'
'Yeah I know, I was there. They had a Maple Syrup Snowball Fight and....'
'Now they need their clothes washed.'
'Fine.....'
'Good. Now lets head outside and fix our ship.'

OOC: Glad you liked my fics Safe. Yeah I do intend to write more. But right now I'm finishing a Short Story on Reavers. Remember that story contest on the official Browncoats site about Making up a news report on Reavers? I decided to run with that. I'm almost finished with it, plus I got the basic outline for the next Chapters ready for the other fanfics I got going. It'll just take a little while for me to get it all down.

FLECHETTE

Heya Back!

so how are things you ask? you'll be sorry you did.....

Okay the family is dealing with my dad's death about as well as can be expected. Now it turns out my mom is starting to fail - she having constant "mini strokes" and for some reason the doctors won't hospitalize her. All this is occuring in FL and I'm in NC and rest of family is in NY or AZ. No one seems sure were the best place to put her would be.

In between the drama attached to mom, my Tim is getting ready to do another tour under Operation Iraqi Freedom - kicker is he's getting called in 2 months early to help get the unit ready for deployment. Now he (tim) is acting kinda weird - like he doesn't expect to make it back. We're taking 5 vacations in a 3 month period, everything in the house is undergoing an inspection by him, and he won't make any plans or talk about any dreams beyond leaving. He did NOT act like this last time - so I'm kinda wondering exactly what's going on. I did point out to him what I felt were changes from his last tour and Tim just said we'll talk later

no point in forcing the issue till he's ready to talk.

My workplace turned into Internet Nazis right after the New Year and just recently revoked those standards so I can surf during my breaks again - but TPTB also doubled my work load so I don't get to take said breaks very often-- and of course overtime isn't permitted despite the work increase

Soooo when all is said and done I haven't had too much spare time lately

Once Tim starts up with Guard (April 1) I expect I'll have a little more free time to catch up here.

I've definitly missed hangin / the crew!

We were just in Ft Lauderdale this past weekend, and Tim wanted to hit the FL Ren Faire, so we did. He was wearing a Serenity t-shirt, and I was using a bandana to hold my hair back-- wow did we meet a LOT of Browncoats! That was one of the best parts of the trip!

SOULOFSERENITY

The Man They Call Soul...

Soul walks past Safe, a perfectly cooked lobster in his hands. He is too busy enjoying the melted garlic butter and succulent meat to notice Safe at first. Finally seeing the handyman staring at the lobster with his jaw dropped, Soul tosses up a grin.

"Being Captain doesn't come without its privileges."

Soul goes back to eating and continues down the hall.

Safe stares after him for a moment, and then storms back to the kitchen, taking a bottle off the counter and swallowing half of it in one gulp. He makes a rather interesting face, probably one of disgust, and quickly proceeds to spray the drink across the kitchen as he spits it out.

“Cranberry juice? Is everyone trying to kill me?”

FLECHETTE

Safe turns around and meets Flechette gimly glare rather sheepishly.

Silently Flechette holds out towels and cleaning supplies and crosses her arms and leans against the doorframe.

Safe mentally tries to figure just what area his juice spray filled up.

"By the way" Flechette said neutrally "Cranberry juice makes great mixers - properly done. Course that bottle was being saved for a special dessert"

Safe says nothing buts scrubs faster!

Ok firstly, Serenity those lobster bites sound horrible... I could probably only eat a dozen of those terrible things. Butter battered you say? Ok then only two dozen. I have to draw the line somewhere

Secondly, Soul and Flechette... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Damn that was funny!

And thirdly, Flechette, I'm at a loss for words. You and your Tim have to be the most courageous people I know. Faced with what you're going through and you still have a sense of humour. I am humbled.

THEREALME

After reprogramming the trio of beautiful lovebots with the Three Laws of Robotics, Doctor Me goes to the infirmary to check how his many experiments are going.

"Curses! It seems that one of my experimental subjects has escaped! Has anyone seen a giant mutant lobster man wandering about? I was doing some research with recombinant DNA to see if I could improve on Needy's situation.

"Oh, Kimmel, while we are here, I suppose that I could fix that stab wound."

TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!

P.S. Flechette, hang in there! I hope everything works out well!

Flechette: wow, I wish I was there to help. The stress from each area of your life is really too much! I think Safe expressed it very well--you're amazing for being so strong and keeping a sense of humor through it all. I'm very sorry to hear about Tim--with everything else you don't need him leaving now or being freaked about another tour... I'm praying for the two of you and keeping my fingers very tightly crossed for some good luck for you soon! If we can help with advice or just listening, please know we're here for you.

Soul, Flechette, Safe, as always, thanks for the humor.

Safe--I am SO excited to read the Boros stories, and I haven't gotten to start yet! I'm hoping to this weekend. Please, it has nothing to do with how interested I am, it's just I haven't had time this week (still working 6 days a week until April 1 when I cut back to full-time...SO looking forward to that). I'm very excited to read!

Lastly, I wanted to gush: my birthday (23) is tomorrow and my boyfriend bought me... FIREFLY! Yippee! Some of the episodes I'd only seen once more than a year ago when I first was hooked. And he gave me Serenity for Channukkah. So now I'm all set! I'm so excited to hear the commentaries at last. And I notice different details now since I know what's going to happen. Anyway, just had to share :)

Happy Saint Patricks Day everybody!
Cheers, Amy
