River had a long first night at the resort. It was hard for her to fall asleep in her new room without the fear of something terrible about to happen. She missed Simon and the crew. She even missed Jayne, as crude as he was. She was going to take a while to adapt to the changes that surrounded her in this new world.

River woke up mid morning, later than was usual for her. She went through the books that were still laying on the floor from her emotional fit the earlier the day before but suddenly became restless. Pulling on her pink sweater over her white tank, that hung loose over her skirt she, again, abandoned her combat boots and ventured outside.

She had only been as far as the main enterence, and the lake, and back. She decided to explore a little.

Approaching the woods River noticed many things she was not used to seeing. The small animals and different types of trees. It really was a different place outside of the planets she was used to.

River bent and picked up a stick, examinening it she heard a noise. She stood up, listening intently to the noises around her; searching for it's source. She heard it again and turned around to face a girl.

"By any chance did you see some parts this direction? I dropped my bag and a few things went flying" Violet explained. She had been crusing the trash cans of the resort after running low on parts pre crashing into a doorway (the parts flying in the process). The bag was full of parts she had found around the resort and one hook was peeking out (perfect for grabbing things from trees and the occasioanl high shelf).

	River tilted her head at the girl. "Parts?" River looked at her feet and sure enough there was a crushed can. She picked it up and looked over the object with a curious expression. "Do you mean this?" River handed it out to the girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yup, I see new ideas in common garbage like that crushed can" Violet had to smile. She used the hook to fish down some sticks from one of the trees,"Inventor so everything is a science project and I'm Violet" the younger woman added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	River found it interesting that the girl could find such uses in things that others would consider to be trash. "I remeber you; from the journals. I am River." River smiled at the girl, happy to put a face to the name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You said I reminded you of a friend, tell me about her?" Violet asked. She scooped up the can that fell from her bag,"But my ideas run the map from a cannon that shoots snowballs to an alarm system" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I did didn't I." River thought about Kaylee again. "I have a friend who is very good with machines. It is almost as if they 'speak' to her. Not literally of course, inanimate objects do not speak. She is just very good at understanding them the second she sees them." River looked over the young girl, "If you do not mind me asking, how old are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm 16 and your friend sounds a lot like my brother, he was a way of remembering everything he reads" Violet was thinking of Klaus. "I also caught something else in your entries, we both are sisters. Klaus is my younger brother and I have a little sister" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	river_albatross 2009-02-25 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm 16 as well. Yes I have an older brother, his name is Simon. How much older are you of your sibling?" River was surprised by how much they seemed to have in common. The age, the sisters, the brains. It seemed this place was filled with people that were similar to her. People who wer different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladyofscience 2009-02-25 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm 2 years older than Klaus, he's 14 and Sunny is still pretty little at almost 4" Violet offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	river_albatross 2009-02-25 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"You're the oldest I see." River tilted her head a little. She had always been the baby of the fmaily. "What is it like; having to take care of the younger ones?" River was truly curious at what Simon had to endure being the eldest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladyofscience 2009-02-25 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Klaus and I were more like equals since we both took care of Sunny" as Violet related cute little things about her sister. "But you learn fast how to avoid sharp baby teeth since we joke her teeth could be a weapon" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	river_albatross 2009-02-26 10:09 am UTC (link)
	River laughed a little at the idea of baby teeth becoming a fatal weapon for some unsuspecting hand. "That's nice that you were so close to your siblings." River was missing her brother more and more while she listened to Violet recall things of her siblings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We joked about Sunny's teeth making a wepaon" for now leaving out Count Olaf and how Sunny had saved them at least a few times. "But I'm not losing up of them being pulled here" as she used the hook to get some fallen limbs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	river_albatross 2009-02-28 10:22 am UTC (link)
	"Why do you want them here?" River was curious as to the girls reasoning. She had wanted Simon to come but was afraid that she was being too selfish. That perhaps it was wrong of her to even consider having him brought and held in a place like this. It was different for her to hear another speak the same way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ladyofscience 2009-02-28 10:57 am UTC (link)
	"We're family and family should be together" Violet was honest. Of course she was leaving out Count Olaf and with good reason, not many kew that part of the story. "Of course I worry a little more than most given some weird events we faced" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	river_albatross 2009-03-02 11:23 am UTC (link)
	"That is true. I sometimes wish my brother, or any others from the crew, would come here but...I feel it might be selfish." River's left hand unconsciously held onto her right elbow behind her back, as she thought over the 'weird events' Violet could be refering to. "What do you mean when you say that? Weird events?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We were on the run from a madman known as Count Olaf" as Violet told the short version of things to River. "He was after our money and would do almost anything to keep us apart, but in the end we did win. But I wish Klaus and Sunny were here since I still worry". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Why is it some humans are so in love with money?" River wondered out loud. She shook her head, she understood better now why Violet would want her siblings to be here with her, "At least you would know they're safe." she said more as a statement rather than a question, "Unfortunetly my 'family' are safer where they are at. They are smart and can handle themselves...." she let herself trail off thinking of the alliance attacks and bounty hunters that would hurt the crew and her brother as they tried to find River. "Safer without me." she said looking away.

	"Can't lose hope River, we both just want our familes safe. Maybe your brother will somehow end up here" Violet could only offer. "But are you making friends here?" she was thinking of Al and Luke so far. "There are others our age and 2 of them are into science like me" (Reply to this) (Parent)
