River's Diary: Part Nine tidbit.
Friday, October 14, 2011 11:45 PM
I'm currently in the process of writing River's Diary; Part Nine, and I'm attemptong to finish it before the end of the month, so I can concentrate on NaNoWriMo.Anyyyyway, I just decided to name Serenity's Shuttles. I named Inara's The Zâo Hé. Which translates to The Peace Flea. (!)
I thoight it was a cute and fun take on the whole Firefly named Serenity, since Fleas are even smaller then Fireflys.
And, I'm posting a quiz on Tumblr tomorrow, to decide on the second shuttles name. Make sure to check it out!
see you soon! - Ji.

the choices are
The Warrior Flea: The Shì Zâo
or
The Jumping Bedbug: The Tēngzhe Chūn.

Interesting idea. I heard them called "ladybug shuttles" on a fanfic somewhere, and kind of adopted it.
>_>
I'd actually call Inara's shuttle the Jumping Bedbug, because that seems like a joke Mal would make, shortly after Inara comes aboard and they realize they need separate designations for the shuttles, and that it just stuck. Inara probably hates it, which is why Wash is nice and calls her Shuttle One over the radio.
But, you could call them Peace Flea and Warrior Flea, and the Jumping Bedbug is just what Mal calls it and no one else.

hmm, I actually like that idea alot! I think I'll end up using that. (is not alot of trouble to switch, since I haven't posted the entry talking about them yet)

perhaps. I'm working off the idea that Kaylee and maybe Wash named em, despite Mal's protests, which would explain the matching official names, Wash's use of 'shuttle one' and Mal having a different name for 'Naras shuttle.
