Day 292 — Octonado mingle!
[Thunderbolt and lightning—very, very frightening.

Take cover, take shelter, take heart. You'll need to take everything you can just to make it through today with so few areas really being safe.]

(OOC: DETAILS here. Mingle out and about in the rapidly changing elements or cozy in one of the shelters.)

[ Super-weird storms aren't great to be out in but if it's one thing Aidan's used to by now it's adverse conditions and as a member of the Defence Force and a generally good person, he'll be out in it for as long as he's able. Be it guiding people to the safe houses or trying to minimize the potential damage of flying debris, he's very approachable and also very wet and cold.

Help. ]

	[Mal looks like a drowned rat. A very angry drowned rat. He should go to a safe house. He does half make his way towards one, but mostly he's angrily yelling at the storm. The next puddle he steps in takes him down and now he's in very real danger of being washed away. Oops.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Things have been weird between them for a while now but that's not going to stop Aidan from grabbing a friend in need, even as the wind and rain threaten to pummel him to the ground. He makes a grab for Mal, fingers twisting in his clothes. ] Shit— don't worry, I got you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal barely sees who has him. He only knows that someone's grabbed hold of him and he uses that stability to push himself up to standing. It's a moment or two before he actually gets to a point where he feels stable enough to look at the person who saved him. He squints...] Aidan? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's drenched to the bone by now and that in itself makes him even more reluctant to talk about The Beard. It's not important, anyway. Not anymore. Third time around, you get kinda used to it. ] C'mon! We can talk later! Let's get outta the rain first! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal's still staring, but he nods.] Stables. Need to check the horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's a moment of hesitation. This isn't great weather to be doing much of anything in (despite him being out here a lot) and human lives feel moderately more important right now, but... ] Let's go, then. We gotta make it fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal clearly doesn't care for his own life at the moment, nor is he too fussed about anyone else's either. The horses though. Serenity's there. An' if that's the only thing he has similar to home, by the almighty and most likely mythological Buddha he'll do what he can to keep her safe. He nods curtly to Aidan and takes off towards sector 2] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's something he can understand. Something he's experienced more than he ever cared to but all that's in the past and right now he's far too focused on checking on the horses and getting Mal inside before the guy kills himself with weather. They will talk. Eventually. Probably violently. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Talk with Mal is always violent it seems. Ever since Inara left. Way in the back of his mind, Mal realizes this is wrong, but it's so much easier to give into the anger. So he does. Every single time.

The stables are different though. He hasn't been there recently. Even with the storm and the panicked horses, Mal looks closer to peace than he has in recent days. He immediately goes towards Serenity's stall and walks in, heedless of her panic.]

Shh... woah girl. Jus' a storm. You kin weather a storm...

[ Before, the stables were a source of comfort for a turmoiled soul but after the last bout of waking up with more memories than you went to bed with, Aidan has found a quiet determination taking the place of that uncertainty. He knows what he needs to do, back home. He knows he has to wait. He knows he'll probably not make it out alive on the other end,

Coming to peace with that may just have been the best thing for him. ]

They alright? [ He lingers at the door, keeping an eye on the outside. Temperature fluctuations, flying octopi, sudden gusts of wind and torrential rains... he's not going to turn his back on that. ]

[Being near the horses has a head clearing effect Mal didn't expect. He steps forward and Serenity calms down. Finally he reaches a hand out to her muzzle. She whickers softly and steps forward. Mal leans his head against her neck and closes his eyes. He hasn't felt this calm in a long time. The rest of the world just stops. And then Aidan calls out.]

We're all good here. You can go help someone else.

	[ He could just turn and leave. A part of him wants to. He's too cold and tired and fed up with bullshit to linger, but there's also that — he's too fed up with bullshit. He's not just going to cower and hope it's not because of him. ] Mal, what the fuck is wrong with you lately? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And there's the tension... His reprieve was gone. The horse tensed as he did... he patted her once and left the stall.]

Ain't nothing wrong with me.

[It comes out as a growl at the moment. He's trying not to spook the horses too much.]

Though everyone seems to think there is. Funny that... just lost my crew member. Ain't I allowed to grieve? Or is that not allowed here? What am I supposed to do when I watch my crew members come an' go meanwhile I'm still stuck here? I don't see what's wrong with my reaction?

	She's not dead, you asshole! An' while you're grievin' and actin' like you're th' only one in th' world that's ever gotten hurt, you're losin' every friend you've made in this place! We think there's somethin' wrong with you because we love you, you fuckin' idiot! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What do it matter if I make friends or not? The fuckin' stabalizer's just gonna steal you all away from me anyway. Your love don't change any of that. You'll still disappear some day. Fuck... you change every few weeks it seems! How long until one day you don't come back from your change?

You think there's something wrong with me? I've always been a mean ol' man. Maybe you're just not figurin' it out.

	[ It cuts him right to the heart, would've made him flinch if his shoulders weren't already so tightly set. There's a hard look, lips pressed into a flat line and then he turns to leave, tossing a broken parting phrase over his shoulder. ] Fuck you too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2014-10-19 05:51 am UTC (link)
	[A voice called out in his head to stop. Apologize. Don't alienate the only friend you have. The rest of his head shouted that voice down. Mal rolled his eyes and turned back to the horses. Better them than the humans.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
