XIONG CAN SHA SHOU

xiong can sha shou means "ass-kicking killer."

In my endeavors to create the ultimate Firefly play-by-post roleplay I think I have gone mad. I've taken to the characters, fallen in love with their personalities, and taken an eerie amount of interest in the actual canon of things. Like... Kaylee, for a great example. She's not all shiny and cheerful all the time. She's got as many dark sides as Jayne does, only she's better at hiding them I think. She's very open it's true, but she's also very mature about it and it's obvious that some of the things others like Simon or Mal might find embarrassing she has no issue with, like openly talking about sex. Not even Inara talks about it as much as Kaylee.

That's just the one. Has anyone really put any thought to the little nugget about Inara that Joss talked about? That when she said "I don't intend to die at all" and what it all meant? Nandi does comment that she doesn't look a day older than she did when they were back at the Companion training house; is she hiding more than her feelings for Mal?

At any rate, it's just a mini-rant in order to keep my brainpan cool and sane.
