WHO: River Tam and Topher Brink.
WHAT: Actually interacting in person.
WHEN: Evening.
WHERE: A recreational facility (sort of like the YMCA or something).
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: In Progress.
River had found the facility mostly on accident, wandering around one afternoon, but she had taken to spending a good deal of time there. She had missed dancing, more than she cared to admit. It wasn't exactly a productive pastime on the Serenity, and most of the time she had been in too distressed a state to think about it or her medication had left her too tired or unfocused to bother. She had danced on Jiangyin, but she didn't like to think about that. Postholer...digging holes for posts, and Simon would have burned with her. She missed Simon like she missed dancing. More, even. But she had found this place and there was a room with a bar along one wall and mirrors and wood floors. It felt like home, but there had never been a room like this in her home. Not on Osiris or Serenity. It was a more intangible sort of feeling. She'd taken to spending her time there, dancing until she remembered the steps.
Now it was quiet and the building was mostly empty. Most people didn't see the point in coming to places that relied on socializing or sound. River didn't mind the silence. There was enough noise in her head to make up for it. And she could still hear music, even if she couldn't actually hear it. It was soothing, in the face of such a strange and unsettling situation, to focus on the music in her head and forget about the rest. And, anyway, she had missed dancing.
