bright light city

(Filtered to Mal)
I found the property that I want to buy for my business I'm starting up. I'm going to be looking at furniture and color palattes with an interior designer in a little bit. I would really like it if you would come and see it sometime. How are things going with your ranch? We also need to spend some alone time together, don't you agree?

How would you like to join me in a day of complete pampering tomorrow?


(Jayne, Simon and Wash)

Are you three keeping yourselves busy? I might need your help moving some furniture around in a couple of days, if you're free.

So how long are you going to pout?

I'm going to meet a Realtor in hopes that I can find something suitable for a business idea I have. Does anyone wish to accompany me?

They plan on grounding every space traveler they can find? Can't take that many people out of the sky and not expect some sort of explosion eventually.

I've been on the ground too long. Ain't working for nothing, either. Not money, not food, not security. This place is stale. Didn't sign up for stale.

Inara, I don't need a date with no one who ain't a whore.

Women are impossible.

(Kaylee)

I made sure to set you up on a date with Simon, meimei. Hopefully it goes well. You must tell me everything afterwards!

Also I hope whoever I set Jayne up with can handle him, I almost feel sorry for the girl.

I'm pretty sure when I went to bed last night it wasn't drunk, it wasn't here, and it wasn't alone. And yet I'm alone and somehow ended up with a tattoo.

Is this a prank the Captain day?

Hello everyone. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Inara Serra. I've noticed that there have been a lot of dating ads going up and I thought that I might actually arrange some get togethers for people. A sort of blind date night. If this is something you might be interested in, or it's something someone you know might be interested in, please contact me. Everything you say will be private and completely confidential.

[OOC: this is just the ic way of announcing this. If you haven't signed your characters up in this, please do so here. We need moar guys.]

[Kaylee]

Would you like to go and do some shopping with me, meimei?

Um. Seems that I was part of the latest experiment. I don't remember anything of it, but I apologize to all I interacted with. My younger self was quite... full of herself.

Mal, I read what I wrote to you, and I am so sorry. You know I don't think you're a smelly pirate. Let me make it up to you.

I demand to be taken back to my training house! Right this minute! Whoever took me is going to be in serious trouble!

( to the Serenity Crew )

Very funny guys. Now fuel up whichever one of your jets brought me here and bring me back to New York.

Can someone please tell me how I got to be here, or perhaps someone can tell where here is exactly? I don't remember having a client, and yet here I am in a strange room and on some planet.

What the gorram hell is going on?

This ... is not Vermont.

I think there must have been some sort of a mix-up.

It's quiet. Too quiet. So quiet it rings in my ears and it's so loud and the silence is screaming. It's a paradox. Quiet can't be loud and it is and it isn't but it is. Can't go back to what we were but here we are again. Back to what isn't anymore. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps at it's petty pace...only in yesterdays. It's all chaos. My mind is spinning with it. They'll play their games and poke and prod, but we aren't toys. But they'll play anyway. Their hands aren't blue, but they're all the same. The bad guys don't always wear black and sometimes their hands are clean. That's all false syllogisms. They take us away and poke and prod and they don't and they can't understand. Shouldn't meddle, but people always do. Children playing with what they shouldn't. Tearing like tiny fingers picking at the threads. It's all going to fall to pieces. Like bits of apples.

It's not so black here...but it is. On the edges. The neon lights don't cover it up well enough. It claws and paces and waits and waits and waits. Captain said they can't take the sky but they did. Covered it up with lies. Not supposed to wander off alone. Not safe. He says it's not safe but he's not here. Can't wander off if there's no one to wander from. Inherent paradoxes. No breadcrumbs to follow home. The birds ate them. They'll just get stomachaches if they aren't careful.
