Thursday, October 27, 2005 2:51 AM

As time passes the Nerve gas dissipates and the sting of the frigid water awakens Jazaf.
He lets out a cry of surprise and attempts to sit up. But a sharp pain in his side and a throbbing at his head force him back to the ground.

'What in the nine spheres of hell happened?' Jazaf asked quietly. He lifts his head slightly to get his bearings and finds himself in the common room. The room is a mess everything has been tossed about cabinets are open, chairs are all over the room, and cooking utensils are strewn about.

'How'd I get in...!' A sharp pain in his side reminds him to stay still. He angles his head again and looks at his side and notices a knife handle sticking out. Jazaf fears the worst as he reaches for the handle and pulls it out. Jazaf winces from the pain as he pulls out the ......' Paring Knife?!?!? sonuvabitch. Medic!' Jazaf says quietly. The throbbing in his head gets worse and suddenly everything goes black.

Serenity describes the scene before the gas flooded the ship. Safe's eyes bulge, "I've been doubled?"

"Didn't we flush out all the androids?" Serenity asks.

"'Cept Jayne, yeah."

"You don't suppose..."

Safe rushes to the Engine room to try to save the ship. (Destiny the ship we're currently on.) Serenity rushes off to find Soul or Evil Safe or Jack or, well, really, anyone. She heads to the common room where she finds Jazaf lying unconscious on the floor in a small pool of blood.

"Hey Jazaf! I need you to wake up now. You're too big for me to drag by myself."

She finds his injury, sees the bloody paring knife lying next to him. She finds some dish towels on the floor to use as bandages. Jazaf comes to as she ties the last knot, securing the bandages in place.

While he tries to get his bearings, she fills him in on what she knows.

Safe scrambles backwards, grabs the comm, "Soul? can you give me a hand for a second. NOW?"

Fun quiz you all might enjoy, picked it up from a thread on the Browncoats' site. Which Serenity character are you most like?
http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=79387&first=yes
You may have to look under "most popular this week" at quizfarm.com if the link doesn't work. Let's keep it popular :-) Every little subliminal advertising helps.

I came out as the doctor (not the crazy sister!)
You scored as Simon Tam.
The Doctor. You have a gift for healing that goes beyond education. You took an oath to do no harm, even when your patients have tried to kill you. You are out of place where you are, being used to refined society. However, if you take that stick out of your arse you should be fine.

So... let us know how you score

So I'm 100% Wash. Interesting...

You scored as Hoban 'Wash' Washburne.

The Pilot. You are a leaf on the wind, see how you soar. You have a good job, and a stunning wife who loves you (and can kill people). Life is good, which is why you can't help smiling. Now if you can just get people to actually listen to your opinion things would be perfect.

Now we learn everyone's alter ego--and it's not who they thought :-) Or maybe it makes sense, because we choose characters to protray that we think are cool and we're kindof like them, but actually we're more like something else (don't we admire what we don't have?)...

I just ordered the comic books (smiles gleefully). Don't know why I didn't get around to it sooner... Maybe too broke. Reading the "episode script that was never filmed" I guess put me in the mood for more. My local store didn't have 'em so I ordered them online, is that very bad of me? I wanted to support the local guys, but... I just spent more than an hour reading threads so I want my fix sooner! Chose the Mal, Kaylee, and Wash covers (like you care, I'm just babbling now).

Some crew member gently puts hand over Amy's mouth and stops the fan-crazed babbling.

Oddly, mine was a three way tie between Wash, Inara, and Book. All at 69%. When asked the tie breaking question, they called ME a WHORE!

"You scored as Inara Serra.

The Courtesan. You have a job that brings comfort to people and eases their burdens. It took years of training and dedication to perfect. So why do people keep calling you a whore? You tried to get away from those people, but something keeps bringing you back."

I did alot of gray area pics, so I'm gonna try it black or white.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that my Serenity patch (from the browncoats store) arrived this week. It is very very shiny.

Re Serenity's live journal:
Yeah, that was creepy, but it said something about kinder (children) in the end, so I'm guessing they were trying to show us that bombing hurts children and how horrible that is! They've got to do it somehow, and I think people have actually become used to the photographs of crying children so they're using something new.

Back to the peril at hand.
To recap:
-Destiny is rising from the bottom of the lake,
-Jack is missing taken by evil Safe.
-Amy and Jazaf are recovering in the common room with Serenity
-Flechette and Dr.Me are still missing somewhere in Destiny
-Soul is on his way to engineering where Safe has been found by Jayne and Lexa Doig.

Safe's hand closes on an object. He brandishes it at Jayne and Lexa "Don't come another step forward.."

"And Just what do you propose doing, handyman?? Painting us to death??" Jayne chuckles.

Safe slumps a bit after realizing he was planning to protect himself with a paint brush...

Lexa observes the fleeing Safe with cool(but sexy!)detachment, "What an odd crew," she comments.

Jayne picks up some of the tools that Safe dropped in his 'escape' with a bit of greedy self-interest, "We tried to kill them once."

She raises an eyebrow, "'Once?'"

Jayne watches Safe and Soul trip over each other, "Kind of abandoned it after the chef stole my heart."

A bit of consternation passes over Lexa's face, "Indeed."

"And consistently drained m'batteries..."

"I see."

Wherever Jack is, it's cold and despairing, FYI.

Safe gets up, grabs Soul by the elbow and heads towards the Bridge.

Soul,"Mind tellin' me what was so urgent?"

Safe, "We'll deal with that later, lets find Jack."

They round the corner and bump into Dr. Me.

"GORRAMIT!! WILL YOU PEOPLE WATCH WHERE YER GOIN'??" Safe gets up off the floor again. "This is gettin' to be a habit... a very annoyin' habit I've gotta tell ya!"

Dr. Me, "Did I overhear you saying you needed help finding some one? I implanted everyone with locator chips. If you can get a computer up, I can tell you exactly where anyone is."

If one is to mimic 'bad english' or at least southwestern American, 'ain't' and 'ya'll' are staples!

Such as:

"GORRAMIT!! WILL YA'LL PEOPLE WATCH WHERE YA'LL'RE GOIN'??" Safe gets up off the floor again. "This is gettin' to be a habit... a very annoyin' habit I've gotta tell you!"

Trim off the g's off all the ING's too! And don't be afraid to make yer own contractions!

Nice gotta though, Safe!

Yes, yes, with these simple rules one can sound as flavorfully belligerent as one does desire.

Hmmm... Implanted chips, eh? About the size of a period themselves in a little orange pill bottle with a couple dozen others that Dr. Me was going to put in his Jimmy Kimmel clones? Like the one evil androidic Safe stole and cast to the winds shortly after he stole one of Destiny's shuttles?

AWAKE THE CLONES!

Tuesday, November 1, 2005 5:01 AM

Armed with humor and various other implements of dastardly function, TRM's fifty Jimmy Kimmel clones stashed in various parts of the ship begin to rise from their hidden alcoves.

Brainwashed with a contraption of evil Safe's design, the Kimmel clones begin to take out and restrain the crew!

Trebeck, with ninja-like training, begins to take out his allotment of Kimmel clones. Serenity swoons after she does her own in with a few well placed gunblasts!

Ignoring Dr. Me's anguished pleas, the clones continue their work.

Beware the Kimmel clones!

CALLMESERENITY

Tuesday, November 1, 2005 1:56 PM

But Serenity only FAKED swooning because she was out of ammo.

When a Kimmel clone comes in for the kill, she whips out a tazer, jams it into his neck, and fries all his circuitry. He falls down, twitching slightly.

"Sucker." She says, standing back up. Trebeck looks over at her and winks before he kicks another Kimmel in the head.

"Well that tears it!! I've had just about enough of these gorram robots!" Safe pulls out his bat.

"It's clobberin' time!" (ya I was going for the cheese factor).

Safe starts swings his bat caving in Jimmy Kimmel heads left right and center, working his way to the lounge area.

Jazef and Ami being there and most importantly a computer control access point.

Safe rounds the corner to the Lounge area and is met with an unusual site. The door to the lounge area is barricaded and outside it gathers a handfull of Jimmy Kimmels. Various utensils protrude from them. Safe stops astounded by the scene, when a yell breaks the trance. A fork whistles out through a gap in the barricade and catches a J.K. in the eye. Sparks fly and the robot slumps to the ground.

Rather than get caught in the crossfire, Safe looks around, finds the air vent he was looking for, pops the cover and climbs in.

At the other end, Safe looks through the grate. Amy stands behind the barricade throwing utensils out at the Jimmies and Jazef sits on the floor, bandaged, with the utensils drawer in his lap, handing them one by one to Ami.

Amy yells at drones: "And just wait until you see what I can do with chopsticks!"

Safe climbs out of the airlock, startling Jazaf and Amy (or Ami or Aimee, whatever ) who whips around to gag him with a spoon but he catches her arm in time to stop the fatal blow.

Jazaf: "Will you join in our crusade? Will you be strong and stand with me?"
Amy:"Somewhere beyond the barracade is there a world you long to see?"
Safe (and others now reading who like musicals): "Wow, Les Miserables totally fits with Firefly! Why did I never think of that before?"

Amy turns her attention back to the barracade as more JK clones try to knock it down. "Avant thee wretch!" she cries and expertly gets both eyes of a Kimmel with a salad tongs.

Safe shakes his head and glares at Ami, "now look what you've done."

Safe stomps over to the computer terminal and pulls up the crew locator screen. "Hmmm, says here Jack is in the shuttle...still on Destiny!!"

"Ummm guys... I'll be back in a bit..." Safe hops back up into the air vent muttering "Frackin' musicals and now Shakespeare...grumble grumble"

Slightly off topic.... I took the test and it came out as a tie between the Shepard and the Operative at 69%. I was hoping for Jayne but he was at 53%.

Jazaf shakes his head to clear out a few cobwebs. 'What in the nine spheres have I been saying? I hate musicals!'

Jazaf fumbles in another utensil drawer and pulls out........Chopsticks!!! He looks to Amy and says 'Here go to town with'em.'

Jazaf opens up a cabinet and finds a flare gun. He looks at it quzzically, 'What the hell is this doing here?' He shrugs and decides to go with it. He promptly fires a single shot and hits a Kimmel clone square in the chest. The clone scrambles around and sets a few other clones on fire.

There was a birthday? Happy birthday Serenity! After we've arrived on solid snow, we can have a celebration :-) Right now I've got my hands full of silverware from around the galaxy.

Cool, I'd given up on them ever having another crew challenge! Given our performance last time, I'm sure we can pull this off. Sounds like we still need a Mal. I know this crew has plenty of Jayne hats, thanks to Serenity!
As for Kaylee, perhaps my sister can help us out again as a secret crew-challenge weapon. I have this great picture from when we went opening night that my brother photoshoped to look like we're in the hold of Serenity. It's got me as Inara, my sister as Kaylee, my boyfriend wearing Serenity's stellar hat, and my brother as a blue hand guy (bonus point?).
If someone can explain to me how to post images here, you all can see it. Also, Soul, what's your email address, I'll send it to you for the challenge? Not that I wouldn't mind an excuse to dress us as Inara again, I'd put a little more effort into it for our challenge as last time I was in a hurry to get to the theater early.

Cool. Also, I think duplicating is fine (get more points for every person!) and just aim to eventually get the whole crew in (sorry, I love these scavengery type things so much!). We've got about two weeks. So Serenity, would you prefer to go as Kaylee and Psychic River can drag? Wohoo.

And belated Happy B Day Serenity! Did you all make it to the Renfest?

I did very much make it to the Renn Faire. Watson and Ash came and it was great.

I could actually easily throw a Kaylee costume together. I have all the accessories. I'd have to work hard for River. I don't have anything that's very River-y. No cute little floaty dresses like she's so fond of wearing.

We can definitely do this, but they really didn't give us a whole lot of time.

And thanks for the belated birthday wishes, all. I feel so very loved.

-----------------------------------------

Serenity hears a banging noise coming from what sounds like a shuttle. She decides to go see what's causing it.

It stops. And then starts again. And then stops.

She reaches the shuttle to find Jack waiting outside.

"Jack! You're found! What happened?"

But before he can answer, there's another BANG BANG BANG and Safe appears at the door.

Flechette, please tell me no one has EVER referred to you as "heavyset". If they have, you give me names and I will..."adjust" their way of thinking.

Say this word with me...Voluptuous.. That's right...with a capital V.

You certainly don't strike me (unless I get outta line) as "heavyset".

I will have to agree with Safe.

Serious misuse of the word "heavyset"!

We have pictures to prove your loveliness! Don't make me use them.

Now apologize for upsetting Safe and say something nice about yourself.

We'll have none of that self-deprecating talk around here!

Ooooo dark chocolatey goodness...my favorite!! mine are green and change colour depending on what I wear. Oh well you win some you lose some.

Oh and the Voluptuous desciption comes with a strut. Don't be afraid to use it (that's it, no more What not to Wear for my wife, it's messin' with my head...how 'bout them Patriots?)

Oh...hi Serenity! I...ummm..was taking care of business..yeah yeah that's the ticket...

Safe ushers Jack and Serenity off before they ask anymore questions.

Lets go see how Amy, Jazaf and Flechette are doin' against the Kimmels. Plus I've got a coupla questions for Dr. Me.

Can I use the Voluptuous Strut, too? Pleeease?

Safe, Jack, I just came from the ammo supply closet and it's been cleaned out. Someone (or something) has all our extra guns, bullets, grenades, all of it! I do believe this is cause for some concern.

Sorry all, real life's been filling the time lately. A new job and a misbehaving car'll do that to ya!

Jack wakes up to Destiny's women trying out the various volumptuous struts. Dazed he looks up to see Safe standing over him.

Fractured memories come back to him and he rolls to his feet. He pulls out a Nerf gun and with unerring accuracy nails Safe in the forehead with a Super Glue Nerf Special. He tries to run, but Flechette's cooking holds him still.

Mmmm... Mouth watering goodness...

Good to see ya back Jack.

I'd offer to help you with your car, but being as how you don't live next door, it would a hollow gesture.

If you get time, you've got some readin' to do. At least read the Sereni-TREE. I've kept you alive...so far, and it's been no easy feat let me tell you.

Ain't no shame in admiring a woman's volumptuous strut..

Yeah, well, having to learn about cars to fill the gap between what you have to spend on a car and what you could spend on a car, isn't too bad a deal. Of course I could have gone without removing and installing the starter a couple of times. It wasn't too bad though, I learned much about the usefulness of children and wifes(to get the bolts in, out, and threaded with their small hands in tight places), how to 'push start', and how a redundant part like a clutch switch can kick off the whole thing.

Jayne and his new 'daughter' walk in, "Well, there you are, Jack!"

Jack stares at Lexa Doig with eyes and mouth open in disbelief. Half chewed brownie falls to the floor from his lips.

Lexa raises a trademark eyebrow.

The chief nurse then faints.

Sorry I'm a bit behind with messages, but I'm catching up

I did this before, and I think I got Wash, though I thought I'd do it again now I've got a bit more time to dwell on the questions

Now I'm Simon

The Doctor. You have a gift for healing that goes beyond education. You took an oath to do no harm, even when your patients have tried to kill you. You are out of place where you are, being used to refined society. However, if you take that stick out of your arse you should be fine.

Simon Tam 75%
Hoban 'Wash' Washburne 56%
Inara Serra 56%
Capt. Mal Reynolds 50%
River Tam 44%
The Operative 44%
Kaylee (Kaywinnet Lee) Frye 44%
Shepherd Derrial Book 31%
Zoe Alleyne Washburne 31%
Jayne Cobb 19%

Its more or less accurate, though ask anyone and I soooo don't have a stick up my... well, you know

PR-No, we don't yet. You could definitely be Simon. I guess it's supposed to be members of the crew, but we are short on women-folk. Haven't heard from Whitefall in months. So we may have to double up.

Note to self: tell Soul about crew challenge.

I can definitely dress as Kaylee. We need Mal, Book and River, right?

Let's see, correct me if I'm wrong but we have:

Safe as Wash
Amy as Inara
Flechette as Zoe
Me as Kaylee
PR as Simon
Jazaf as Jayne

and then posssibly TRM as Book if we can talk him into it.

Who can do Mal? Jack, can you dress as Mal? Or Needy?
And then we just need River.

Well, PR, maybe we will need your sister as River.

Needy!!!!! *hugs*

Good to see you again! How's things?

And Jack-sorry about the car troubles. But we're glad to see again, too. Safe's been having all kinds of fun with you while you've been away.

Well I've finally made it back... it certainly wasn't easy because whenever I got the chance to visit, I didn't want to post in this thread without reading what's been going on, so I've just now finished catching up.

You certainly have been having fun

As for the new challenge, well I wouldn't mind dressing up as Mal, I could probably get an outfit similar but I'd be missing that final ingredient - a brown coat.

Also, where does the photo have to be taken? Can it just be taken anywhere such as in the house... or does it have to be at an event of some sort?

...

As for me, I've been missing coming here thanks to Joss Whedon. Or should I say more accurately, something Joss recommended - Veronica Mars. It was airing every day at 6 till 7 (the time I normally post here) and only finished last week (or was it the week before?)
I'd also normally post at the weekends, but for some reason I now have a regular social life (imagine that), on fridays and sundays at least. I am also now a keeper of secrets, a quite neat title if I do say so myself (though no actual position exists, just one I've given to myself thanks to being a confidant to a couple of friends)

Anyway, enough rambling, I should jump in to this new attack of the clones story... in fact, I think I'll just start a new thread since this one is getting mighty crowded
