Pain chuckles and says to Ertia as he brushes away some hair from her face*

Yeah the idea of River helpin' with the cookin' scares me too. And I'm the one who's supposed to be the intimidatin' one.

*They both chuckle as Ertia says pulling herself closer to him*

You're not so intimidatin' in the sack babe.

*She lowers her hand and feels him stiffen. She smiles as they're about to kiss when Pain's uncle steps in, sees Pain and says*

Ah Pain I just got off the com with your Captain. Am I interruptin' somethin'?

*Ertia and Pain look each other in the eyes and smile. Pain turns to his uncle and says*

Nah Ertia here was just about to give me a kiss goodbye.

*Ertia kisses Pain on the cheek, hands him his bag and whispers into his ear*

See you in two days.

*She smiles at Pain and heads off to go get her stuff and put it into Pain's bunk. Pain watches her leave as his uncle says*

So I take it you two are seein' each other?

*Pain smiles and says to his uncle*

Yeah somethin' like that.

*Bob says to his nephew*

Ah I see. So how many of your crew is comin' along?

*Pain turns around and says*

Well so far there's me, Zoe, Jayne, and one of the former crew members of a ship named High Charity.

*Bob replies as he takes out two cigars and offers Pain one*

So how about Fly is she comin' along?

*Pain takes the cigar, puts it in his mouth, lights it, and says*

Dunno she hasn't decided yet.

Fly, where are ya, girl? Coming or going?

Ertia tucks her bag in the corner of Pain's bunk. His bunk, she reminds herself firmly, she's just borrowing it. Not looking for anything. Just for fun. As long as its for fun, nobody gets hurt.

A little voice in the back her mind whispers, "Keep tellin' yourself that, girl."

Climbing back out, she heads back towards peace and quiet of Shuttle 2, ready to get some work done, including tapping the security feeds at the scrapyard on Beylix.

*Pain was escorted to his bunk by a rather short and stocky member of his uncle's crew. He was a little surprised when he offered to take Pain's bag and even more surprised when the guy opened the hatch to the bunk for him. Pain nodded and said to the man, cigar still in his mouth*

Thanks um what's your name?

*The short stocky man says in a heavy accent*

Mah nahm ees Gunther baht evarybahdy cahls meh Gun.

*Pain nods and says*

Thank you Gun I can take it from here.

*Gunther nods, hands Pain his bag and heads back to the cargo bay. Pain opens the hatch, climbs down the ladder, and looks at the interior of his temporary new home. The bunk was pretty standard for a cargo vessel: bed, desk, Murphy's sink and toilet, and a footlocker. There was no decorations on the walls, just a vidscreen, com, and a panel that displayed the time and turned the light on or off. Pain set his bag on the desk and opened it up. He was taking out his clothes when the voice in the back of his head spoke up*

It was just supposed to be fun, nothing more, but now you're starting to have feelings for her.

*Pain said to himself*

Shut up gorrammit.

*The voice continued*

Yeah that's right deny it. This is how it begun with Fly all those years ago you know. It was just supposed to be fun but then you had feelings for her and fell in love. That same thing is happening now whether you like it or not.

*Pain slammed his fist down on the desk and said to the voice*

Gorrammit shut the ruttin' hell up!

*Pain sat down on the bed and ran his hand through his hair. Deep down inside he knew the voice was right.*

JRC

As per instructions, JR walks to his bunk to contact Sybil over the cortex. Using a secure line, he waits for his signal to reach Harrow House. The vid screen comes alive and a woman asks, "Harrow Enterprises, please state your name and business." "My name is JR, and I'm calling to talk to Sybil Harrow," JR replies. "Ahh, yes, hold one moment," she answers back. A few seconds later, a gorgeous woman with long flowing black hair appears. "Well, hello JR. This is a most pleasant surprise," Sybil says. JR thinks to himself, "Lordy, what a sight." "Hello Sybil, I'm calling to let you and your father know of a, uhhh, slight change in plans concerning the trip to Londinium. It appears we will be late two days with the delivery of the merchandise. I'm very sorry Sybil, but I was told by the Cap'n to let you know, altho I would have told you myself. I also want to extend my and the rest of the crew's thanks for the invite to your summer home." Sybil checks some information on her computer and says, "I do believe that will work out fine. My father's friends will be having their big shindig the day after your arrival at the loading docks, plus I will be able to conduct some other business for Daddy. I'm sending you coordinates for the docks now, please give them to your captain or pilot." A set of numbers appears in the lower right hand corner, and JR inputs them thru the keyboard to Wash's station on the bridge. "OK, I've got 'em, and they're transferred to the pilot," JR says. Sybil then says, "Here's another set of numbers, for your eyes only." The numbers flash on the screen. "Use these for contacting me directly, without having to go thru the front office. They also contact me on my personal comm receiver which I carry everywhere." JR stores those numbers on his computer to memorize later. JR says, "I'm sorry to say Sybil, but I don't have one of them there fancy personal receivers like yours, but I will contact you thru the ship's..." She interrupts him, "Don't worry my dear man, I'll offer you one just like it when I see you planet-side. Of course, it is just an offer," and she gives him a wink. Once again, JR feels his knees start to buckle. "Ohh, well, uhhh, I may take you up on your generous offer then," JR says. Sybil continues, "My people are preparing the house for you and your crew's visit. Please excuse the small-ish size, it has only seven bedrooms and 9 baths, with a small adjoining apartment, and the 4 living areas are not very big, but you are more than welcome to use the amenities like the swimming pool and we usually have 3 or four horses for riding around the countryside. Also the kitchen and the two bars will be fully stocked, plus the host, whose name is Bryan, will be at your disposal. He's very good. Here are the directions to the estate." Another set of numbers and directions appear. JR says, "Got them also on my computer. I have to leave now Sybil, but I am very much looking forward to seeing you again." Sybil replies, "The feeling is mutual JR, and good luck to you and the crew. Harrow House out."

OoC: I know, I know, about time you posted JRC!!

Everyone dies alone.

What she said JR *points to Sam*. Hope you have fun with that Sam. Remember: You break it you bought it.

*Pain managed to shut out the nagging voice in his head as he finished unpacking his gear and storing his clothes in the footlocker. He stood near the bed and examined the pistol he had brought. It was a black matte finished Sig Sauer P228 9mm. He hefted the weight of it in his hand and then holstered it in the holster near the small of his back. He took made sure the gun wasn't noticeable by wearing one of the few short sleeve button up shirts he had. Pain then made his way out of the bunk and decided to roam around the ship.*

Huddled in the shuttle, her coffee turning cold, Ertia watches the security feeds from the scrapyard, occassionally pausing and zooming on specific items as the feeds change cameras.

A rich soprano voice echoes through her headphones, some old Earth That Was musical and she hums along at first...

"Think of me
Think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye.
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me..."

"Bleah! lame ass stupid sappy son!" She clicks off the music link, and pulls back up a rich techno beat.

All Right, gang! We're live and we're Doin' the Splits! Come join the Shiny New Thread!
