Jay was mumbling and muttering in his sleep, though he was very nearly awake right now. He felt wet, but not the good kind, and cold, too. He didn't open his eyes right when he woke up so he imagined, incorrectly, that he had fallen asleep outside RST video again.

When he finally opened his eyes, he became conscious of the rain and mud all over himself, and sat upright, scratching his eyes. He looked around and saw...trees. Green stuff and trees.

"Shit Silent Bob that Bangladeshi Ganja we scored last night is the madness. We're not even home." He expected no answer, after all Silent Bob wasn't big on the speaking thing; but when he looked around again, he realized no one was there. Jay stood up, trying to dust mud off his pants - yes, he's that stupid. He started walking away from where he'd been, only in circles. "Silent Bob? Yo Lunchbox! If you's taking a piss behind some tree and I come look for you and find you with your dick out, I'll fucking kick your ass!"

Silent Bob, however, didn't come out from behind any tree. And as Jay took a few steps back, possibly to appreciate how alone he seemed to be in a strange place, he tripped on something and fell on his back.

"AH! FUCK!" He screamed, pulling a small box from under his back. It said "survival kit" and "Vas Captio". "The fuck is this shit?"

"I dunno," Kaylee answered the strange woman's question, not entirely sure it was meant for her in the first place. "Far from where I was, though. I think. We were out in the black, far from anyplace special. Or anyplace 'tall really." Last she remembered, they had been about two days from Osiris. With Simon getting twitchier the closer they got to it, flittin' about the Infirmary like one of those hummingbird birds after a good meal of red sugary water.

Listening to her suggestion, Kaylee pulled her head back and slightly to the side as she cocked it. "Water? Why, are the docks near water?" Most of the time the ship docks were in the middle of things, or at least near a trading center. For ease. "If Serenity's around, she should have landed in a clearing," she looked around with her bright hazel eyes. "Wherever that might be."

Following the suit of the other two, she opened the box she had been clutching tightly to her chest, not really sure what it was. The contents inside were odd, but mostly recognizable. Except for one item, which she plucked out gingerly as if it was about to bite her. "Tic...Tacs?" Stroking a finger over the odd label, she could not help but notice that it was only in English. Odd. "What are these?"

"Okay!" Kaylee immediately agreed, glad that someone was taking charge, and all too happy to have someone to follow.

"Docks are usually near water, yes," she said, though she paused. Ships that went on land. Well, she knew gods, so a ship that could have landed in a forest didn't actually seem so far fetched. She honestly would not be surprised. "Where I'm from, ships usually travel in water. They sail the seven seas, so to speak," she answered without turning around. She only felt one of them moving with her, so she stopped and made her way back to the strange man. Her hands rested on her hips, her kit tucked under one arm.

Those dark eyes stared into his face, locked on his own, almost trying to look through him. His light was oddly shaped, strange to see. She wasn't sure what to make of it. Maybe she was learning. Humans all seemed a little bit different when you bothered to pay attention to them. Maybe Shadow's presence, a flare in the night of the universe, kept her from paying attention to all of the other odd yet interesting lights that existed. "Memoirs are good, but I recommend saving them until you're older. Then again, you never know when you're going to die. It's a cruel and unexpected force. Maybe you should write your memoirs. Everyone's got something interesting to tell. I don't think, though, that this is really the time." She shrugged. He was a writer? Odd. Her eyes moved away from his when she realized she was staring.

"Compass, no, not the right word. I am more like a dowsing rod for finding humans, though. I can feel them." She paused, her eyes finding his face for only a moment. "Just like I can feel you. Warm, alive, human as I know it." Laura turned, kicking at some dirt. "I'm not human. I used to be, but I'm not anymore. I'm something different now. My name was Laura Moon. It was a good name. You may call me that still. A name is a name no matter where or what you are."

Turning to Kaylee, she smirked faintly when she saw the Tic Tacs. "They're candy where I come from. They had them all over the world. I had one client who would bring me a box from every airport. You don't eat candy?"

She glanced back to Jay. "Do you eat candy?" A pause. "And why do you keep your hair so long? You've got an accent, one that I recognize, but I do not remember where it's from. It's from the United States, though. I was from Indiana." Kaylee's, though, she didn't recognize the way she spoke.

"Where do you both come from? Do you remember how you ended up asleep here? Were you taken from West Virginia? Are we still there?"

The dark chick was weird. Hot, but weird. Jay even kind of flinched as she looked over at him, deeply, like she was trying to curse him or something. And then she talked, and talked, and Jay struggled with keeping focus and trying to listen.

"Yeah, uh...I was just asking, I mean, I have some crazy shit that could be put on paper, but not...now. Or ever." Him, a writer? Fuck, no. Well he'd done well in that internet speech to the ball licker faggots at moviepoopshoot.com, but Silent Bob had done the typing. And what the fuck was a dowsing rod anyway? Who the fuck was this chick?!

"Feel them? Feel me? You're not even touching me! But you can." This last little sentence was said with no hint of question, and with a wink. Even if she wasn't human, she was hot. And it didn't look like she had tentacles either. "You're not human? What the fuck are you instead? Are you a muse, or something, because the last one I met was a tease!"

Fucking weird chick with fucking weird questions. "Yeah I eat candy, what the fuck has that got to do with anything right now? The hair keeps me warm." Well, it was plausible. "I'm from Jersey, recognize." He smirked.

He didn't remember anything, but he had been quick to pawn this off on the new weed Silent Bob and him had tried the previous night. "I don't know, 20 Questions, I smoked some new strong weed and then I woke up here."

"Seven seas?" Kaylee shrugged after her repetition of the ancient phrase. "My ship, Serenity, she flies. We were out in the Black, and then I was here." Spinning around slightly, she demonstrated by pointing with one finger where she had come from. "Well, there."

Something was not quite right here, and it was temporarily dampening her cheerfulness. But not quite enough to even bring her down to the level of 'normal' happiness of other people. Her gaze bouncing between the strange man and the strange woman, as if watching a dueling match. One hand went to her chin as she listened attentively to their conversation, looking for some sort of clue that could tell her where she was.

"Y-you're not human?" It was not so much fear, as much as a mixture of fear and curiosity. Mostly the latter. The only thing she had ever heard of that was not human was a Reaver, they used to be human. Long ago. Before they changed and became monsters. Although Laura Moon did not seem anything like the savage Reavers who plagued the 'verse. "I'm Kaylee Frye, you can call me Kaylee." It took a second, but she replayed what the woman had said, and blinked twice. "You can feel us? Like a Reader?"

Candy? With delicate movements, just in case she somehow broke the foreign little container, Kaylee opened up the package and withdrew one colored pill from its contents. With a small grin tipping her lips, she popped it into her mouth and her eyes widened. "Oh! This is good!"

"Verbena," Kaylee answered honestly, and when the reaction she got was not what she had expected, she elaborated. "Out on the Rim? The Alliance just set up a new metalworking factory there. They supply all the parts for the Alliance's use?" She had heard of neither Jersey nor West Virginia, but she did not know every town or city in the System. It was doubtful anyone did, even Mal.
