Day 364 | Action both Open and Closed
Closed to Aidan - Memory Garden
[Mal hadn't found time yet to get back to the gardens to finish his memorial for Inara. There was too much going on with all the new arrivals. And then he met that Han Solo guy which changed everything. Perhaps so as to not be outdone, or perhaps to keep himself sharp with another smuggler about, Mal woke today and didn't immediately go out in search for another bottle of whiskey.

Instead he took the time to wash up, brush his teeth, and put on some clean clothes. Not that he was planning on running into anyone today, but it was time to stop wallowing. He still had something left to finish on that account though.

In the Memorial Gardens, Mal kneeled in front of the bush he had sloppily planted. He dug the stones out from under it, and began stacking them. When he was finished, he sat back on his heels, assessing the entire memorial. Well. It was good enough.]

I think you'd be ashamed of me Inara. More'n you usually are. But it turns out, you bein' here? Best thing that ever happened to me. I ain't handling the drop from that so well.

Open Action - Sector 2: Athletic Complex and shooting range
[Mal's not going to go back to the alcohol. Not yet at least. Unless you manage to bribe him. So instead, he'll be busy beating up sandbags and shooting at targets to get all this aggression out.

	[Mal rubs his eyes. He hasn't had anything to drink today... so whatever it is has to be real. But still...] Why do they give you the power to turn into... a monster? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are rather rude. [Not that he isn't used to being called a 'monster' since leaving his village.] It is the power of the gods. Should I be ashamed or embarrassed of their power and strength? The holy dragons are noble beings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gods don't exist. Governments are more likely to do that. [He doesn't even bother addressing the rude comment. Mal is who he is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ How foolish. ] You can witness the power of the gods before you now, and you would deny their existence? No human upon the earth would be able to bestow this gift upon me. It is a power that has been passed down for thousands of years from one dragon to the next. That holy blood runs through my veins now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You obviously ain't seen the people in charge of the Allied planets. Nor have you seen a Reaver. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have no knowledge of such. [Honest] Does it have to do with this technology magic? [Because there are certainly impossible things here.] I assure you that what I possess is separate from that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Technology magic? It ain't magic. Jus.... mechanics an' shit. But they do stuff to themselves. Make 'em more animal then man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Even the indoor plumbing?? And how else do you explain people talking over magic devices. Magic. ] How monstrous. I cannot understand why someone would want to do such a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Story is they got to the outer rim, looked out, an' went mad. Don't know how true it is... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The outter rim? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Boarder Planets. Edge of the known systems. Space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ . . . Systems? Boarder Planets...? He looks about as confused as he feels.] I am... unfamiliar with the things you are describing, but I will take your word on it. Perhaps those people were not blessed by the gods, but I assure you that the dragon deities are separate from... Outer Rims. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... The Universe? You don't have space travel. [It's a statement rather than a question. He should be getting more used to the fact that the vast majority of people here don't know much about space travel. It still throws him a bit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Ah. Then no. You don't. [Give him a moment.] So dragons of legends... they actually exist? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action backoftheline 2016-03-18 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	They do. But I do not believe that they have descended from the heavens for thousands of years. As it is, only their power is reflected in one individual within each dragon tribe. [He lifts up his right hand] For myself, the power of the White Dragon God resides within my hand. The power and manifestation of such is different for the other dragon warriors.

	That is correct. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well if that don't beat all. I don't like all these different universes. It's all too confusing. [And it breaks his world view even more than it's already broken.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action backoftheline 2016-03-23 03:36 am UTC (link)
	I can at least admit that it is very confusing to me as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal's feeling less and less comfortable by the minute. Finally he gestures to the array of weapons available to them.] Well, if you feel like trying any of the ranged weapons, you can. Seem to regularly be available to everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action backoftheline 2016-03-27 02:15 am UTC (link)
	[He blinks in shock] Anyone may use one of these? [Moving over her stares at the array of weapons, unsure on which thing to start with. Most look so foreign.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well okay then. Picking up the nearest weapon-- he still isn't sure what it is-- and holding it up (sorry it's toward Mal, but at least his intention is not to shoot it yet?)] What is it called again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-03-28 01:46 am UTC (link)
	That's a pistol, and you'll want to point it thataway. [He nods down toward the targets.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
