Day 428 - Open Action
Morning

Ice cream for breakfast was perfectly okay. Mal's not paying much attention to the ice cream though. Sure he's eating it, but mostly he's standing across from the entrance to sector 6, staring intently at the door.

Late morning - Early afternoon

Mal was a flurry of activity. He didn't plan to be gone long - only a few hours - but he did need decent supplies. Water for one. A small bag of supplies he could stash somewhere in sector 6 for later. And of course his trusty pitchfork from the stable. Once he had everything he needed, Mal walked purposefully to sector 6.

Evening

Mal emerges from Sector 6 tired and filthy. The food carts aren't giving him anything he really wants, so he makes his way wearily to Sector 4 for something good. He sat at one of the restaurants, pitchfork leaning against the wall next to his table, while he demolished a burger with relish.

	Raptors. [Keith nodded.] I've heard people mention them. Like... dinosaur raptors or flying bird raptors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haven't met them yet? Definitely more of the legendary dinosaur raptors. Nothing like I've seen before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well, Keith had seen something like giant lizard dinosaur things recently, so it didn't really surprise him that they existed in some form here, too.] Right. So, stay away. Anything good in there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-05-21 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	Forest. If I remember rightly, there's an entire civilization of... uh... kangaroo people? Lotsa interesting and deadly creatures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Makes you wonder why it's even here. I'm assuming there's something that keeps them in there, but has it ever malfunctioned? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-05-24 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Malfunctioned? Oh yeah. Raptors have been in the general prison at least twice from what I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And you have no real weapons here to speak of, do you?

[Other than a random pitchfork, apparently, as Keith noticed the one Mal was carrying. He huffed a little. Jaden had made a big 'weh weh' about Keith requesting his Marmora blade, too, but couldn't guarantee against something like that happening. Ugh.]

That's not very reassuring of their abilities to keep us "safe", like they promised.

	Nope. Though the pitchfork does it's job fine enough. Better if you're on a horse, but I'm not gonna risk Serenity this time around. [Yes, he's named one of the horses.] I've no idea what they're like in this new place. But they definitely weren't so good at the safety in the old prison. Maybe things will be different here. I ain't one to trust them so easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-13 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	They have horses? [Geeze... this place had a lot of stuff. And there was an "old prison". Keith had heard about it peripherally, but hadn't really gotten any real information on it. He'd let Mal answer about the horses, and then ask later. That was a bigger question, he was pretty sure.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-13 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. Same sector the beach is in. And the gym. And the pet store. Decent stable. Lots of horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-14 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	I'm guessing you ride. [Keith smirked a little.] And Serenity is your favorite? Do they all have names? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-15 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	More or less. More here than I did back home. Horses don't have names less'n you give them one. At least, I didn't notice any names on stall doors or nuthin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-17 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	So, why Serenity? [Keith was just curious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-22 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Name of my ship. Good name. [Reminder of that one horrific battle that lost them the war.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-23 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Keith nodded.] Makes sense. What kind of ship? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-24 04:35 am UTC (link)
	[Mal grins wistfully.] Serenity's a Firefly class ship. 03-K64-Firefly specifically, though Kaylee knows more about her workings than I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-25 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Is that a spaceship? [WHAT WAS THIS? SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS ABOUT SPACE TRAVEL?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-28 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Space. Yeah. I keep forgettin' I need to specify that here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-06-29 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, that's cool. I wasn't expecting to meet so many people who didn't know about space travel, either. [He managed a small smile.] But, that's cool. It's nice to meet a fellow space traveler around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-07-07 12:26 am UTC (link)
	You're a space traveler too? Seems I run into more've them every day. What's yers like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-07-09 12:38 am UTC (link)
	The ship? Well, actually, it's also a castle. It changes configuration for landing, and looks like a castle on the surface. But, when we need to use it in space, it's a spaceship. [Things transforming seemed to be a theme with Altean technology.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-07-13 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry. Might be I'm not hearin' you properlike. Sounded like you just said yer ship's also a castle? [Yeah right. That don't make any sense.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-07-18 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	[Keith nodded.] You're right. It is. It changes forms. A lot of Altean tech seems to do that. It's not like a giant medieval stone castle or something, but it's a castle all the same. Especially when it lands on a planet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-07-26 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh... yer serious. That's.... interestin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tempredmental 2017-07-26 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	Why wouldn't I be? [Keith was genuinely confused as to why someone would joke about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
