The Doorway: a panfandom game

I'm glad I didn't have any of them crazy dreams but reading the stuff from everybody else shore was fun!

[Simon]
So there's this fancy dance thing this weekend. Wanna take me?

Ain't rightly sure, but I feel like our truck run me over then parked on my head for a few hours. Doc, whatever beer that was ain't no need to share no more.

What Qing Wa Cao De Liu Mang took me off my ship and brought me to this Ho Tze Duh Pi Gu corner of the verse?

Well this ain't right

it's quiet

I understand that some of the powered people here are ... powerless, now. If you want to come by the clinic for an examination, I'll be here, though I can't actually guarantee that I'll find anything medically wrong with you.

Still, even ruling that out would be a good idea.


FILTERED TO SERENITY CREW:

Let's be clear:

River and I will win this door decorating contest. End of story.

Hey everybody! I came up with an idea that I thought might be fun. A door decoratin' contest. Now we've already missed Easter but I thought it'd be nice to celebrate spring!

So here's what we're gonna do. If you wanna enter, leave me a comment here. You don't haveta do it but I'd be right happy if you did. The official start date will be May 1st and run until the 15th. Then on the 15th we'll judge the doors and the winners will get....somethin'. I don't know what. Wash and me ain't decided yet.

Anyway I hope some of ya like this idea. Inara and me will decorate our door but we won't be in the contest 'cause that wouldn't be fair. It'll give you an idea of what we're talkin' about though.

FLOORS 3&4

Good morning! This is your pilot-- I mean, housing assistant-- speaking. I'll be taking care of you all from here on out, and I'll do my best to make it as smooth a ride as possible.

My name's Wash, but you can also call me Tanwonosaur. Dinosaur names can either be chosen or will be assigned to you. If you need help, you can let the internet choose a name for you.

If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to me, or to the lovely Kaylee, aka Mommasaur, who has kindly volunteered to help me out. You can find me in room 306. My darling wife may need to get accustomed to people knocking on our door, but she won't shoot you. Probably. (Right, honey?) Kaylee is right nearby in 308 if you'd rather not risk it. You can also reach me at [phone number]. And there's always the network.

We've got some fun stuff planned for you, so look for more announcements in the future. In the meantime, welcome aboard and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you a little better.

I can certainly go without being that ill again for a very long time.

I'm going to put a plug in for my classes: Human Mythology, Mandarin Chinese, Modern Dance, and Music appreciation. These are open for anyone to take regardless of age, so if you would like to try your hand at Chinese or learn a bit of dance, or something of Earth music, or human mythology I can help you get signed up.

[Filter: Luke Skywalker]

I spoke with Simon and it seems he is willing to listen to what you might be able to offer River. Would you be able to come to dinner Sunday evening?

[Filter: Simon Tam]

I am planning on having Luke Skywalker over for dinner on Sunday evening. Could you come to dinner then? River is welcome as well, or if you would like - I can see if Kaylee could spend the evening with her at your place - do you have a preference?

FILTERED TO KAYLEE FRYE:

Hi.

I know I've been busy lately with work and I feel like we keep missing each other, and I know that this is probably late to say it, but [...] I got your letter. You probably know that. I didn't get it until I woke up, but [...] thank you.

There should be a package at your door tonight. Let me take you somewhere where you can wear it, just us, no distractions.

And I love you, too.


Simon

I don't understand the scientific possibility of two individuals swapping bodies. Have their brains been physically relocated to the other body, or are their brainwaves merely rewriting over the host's existing brainwaves? How is one's personality affected by being inside a body of a different sex, with different hormones? Is it difficult to adjust to a different center of balance? Do super powers or magical abilities remain with the host body or are those transplanted with personality?

Simon,

I don't know if you'll see this or not. I know we haven't talked a lot the last few days and I'm sorry I couldn't tell ya what was going on. I hope you're not in a coma or nothin' but if you are, you'll see this when ya wake up.

Because you're gonna wake up. I know you are.

I'll be gone when you see this. I'm on the Ascension, we're gonna be talkin' to those people who wanna judge the Earth. Well I'm not gonna be, I'm just the mechanic but they need me and Wash to take care of the ship. She ain't Serenity but she'll do.

Never been good with words but you need to know one thing. I love you. I know we don't always understand each other and I ain't the kinda girl you're used to but that don't mean we aren't supposed to be together. 'Cause I think we are. River's like my sister and I wanna see her get better just like you do and if I don't come back, take care of her okay? Do whatever ya have to even if it don't make sense. Take care of Inara too 'cause I feel by her just like I do by River.

I gotta go now. I hope you see this and I hope that I'll be seein' you in a coupla days. I just didn't wanna take any chances.

I love you,
Kaylee

[Simon]
Hey. How're you and River feeling? I'm not sick so if you need anything I can help. Inara's not doing too good but she's restin' right now.

[Wash]
This don't make sense. I feel fine. I'm not even the least bit sick. What about you?

[Filter: Simon]

I know that you want to find a medical cure for River, and I support you in doing that. But I'm wondering would you be willing to talk to someone who might be able to at least help her in the meantime. There is a friend of mine who might be able to help. He noticed her dreams.

I'm sorry if I'm not making much sense I think I may be coming down with a bit of something myself.

[Filter: Inara's students]

I am feeling rather poorly today and I believe it may best if I cancel classes for the day. Hopefully we will be back in the classroom by Wednesday.

[Filter: Friends*]

Why is it that the weather will get just a little warmer and that's when you get sick?

*If you want to be you are!

It seems like the more I get to know things around here, the less sense they make. But I guess there's no point in worrying too much over it -- I'd like to offer any help I can. Anyone know of any decent clinics? If anyone's in need of a healer, I'd be glad to offer my skills.

The last several months have been a nonstop existential crisis. After denial comes acceptance?

... No. Not there yet.


FILTERED TO KAYLEE FRYE:

I'm sorry. I've been so busy with River I haven't checked in with you after everything that happened.

Some of us had a more tiring day than others today.
