EPIKTETOS

Epiktetos dismantled his gun to bits and proceeded to clean it methodically. The gorram thing was clogged up so tight (it had taken a lengthy mudbath over the course of his recent endeavors) it would probably have blown his hand right off had he been stupid enough to fire it. Jake Wolfe hadn't seem to notice. "Never been one to shy away from the odd risk," he thought with a smug grin. He viewed himself as an aptly brained individual. Outsmarting the ones he couldn't outrun, such was his way. But he was most grateful for his good fortune. When his wits faltered, she never let him down.

Jake sidles in from the cargo bay, and finds Epiktetos feild stripping and cleaning his gun. Walking over to the table, he sits down and quickly breaks down his two new pistols, then, reaching over Epiktetos, he goes to grab a cleaning rag...

"May I?"

John sat in the galley with a cup of tea in his hand. Wolfe was lucky. On a bad day he wouldn't have saved him. Mal walked into the galley. "Some group of people you let on my boat."

"Yeah, you said we had work?"

"Yes and its not work I'm keen on doin"

"What is it?"

"Cargo steal, from a smal rebel Independent group still working on Jezebel"

"Wait were stealing for the Alliance"

"Yep pays well"

"All righty then, honest work, how odd"

His mind was racing. "Juh shi suh mo go dohng shee? Are these people completely insane?"

"Okay, I give up," he said as he stood up. "This thing's beyond repairs." And I need to have a little chat with the people in charge, he thought as he hurried himself across the room and up the stairs.

Jake grins at Epiktetos' speedy get away then slides the parts of his pistol over to him, casting a critical eye over the piece.

Hmmmm... yeah, truely humped up, this piece is... He thinks to himself as he mindlessly finishes cleaning the guns and putting them back togather, al-the-while looking over Epiktetos' pistol.

EPIKTETOS

Epiktetos stood inside what looked like an engine room. "Not where I wanna be," he thought. "How did I get here?"

"What are you doing here?" a female voice asked from behind him, jolting him out of his reverie. "Whoa! You startled me there!" he started as he spun around in a hurry. "I guess I got huh... lost. I'm looking for the local bigwigs." The woman crossed her arms against her chest and eyed him doubtfully. "No... I mean, what are you doing on this ship!"

— "Just a passenger," he said bluntly "No games with this one, silly."

— "Huh huh." Her hand hovered toward her hip holster...

— "Hey! Easy now," he said hastily.

She seized the handgrip of her weapon and unholstered it, unveiling a sawed-off lever action carbine. His mouth dried up at the sight. Time to play a wild card! "No call to flare up! Your psychic buddy said I was okay!" The woman froze, and hesitantly drew her piece back."My what?"

— "You know, tall guy, brown hair..." he said as his demeanor shifted back to his usual goofiness.

— "I get the picture. If it's the captain you're looking for, he's right there in the dinning area," she said, pointing a finger toward the doorway.

— "Thanks, that's real helpful of you." She gave him a stony glare that invited no answer. He promptly turned back and left the room.

"What did I get myself into?"

Having finished cleaning his weapons, Jake once again sticks them in the back of his pants Need to get a shoulder rig... good way of loosing a cheek this way... and heads in to the kitchen, his body growling with hunger.

Steping over the door frame, Jake quitely made his way over to the stove, keeping an eye on the sandy haired older man sitting at the table, cleaning his pistol. Grabbing a plate of stir fryed protien, Jake heads over to the table, purposely announcing his presence by clearing his throat.

"Bwaha!" The guy shouts, swinging his piece around to aim at Jakes face and asking, in a strained voice "What are you doing on my boat, I don't take kindly to stow-aways."

Jake just raises one eyebrow, sits down, and begins to eat, mumbaling a "I'm not a stow away," to the man "And I'd take it as a kindness if you were to point that away from my face... it isn't even loaded, so there isn't much you'd be able to do to me with it..."

The sandy haired guy just blinks, HARD, at Jake "Uh huh... and you'd know this because...?"

Jake holds out a handfull of bullets, while still eating.

The man blinks again "...huh"

John could not believe he was actually going to do this. He should have followed his gut and not let either of those two on board. He needed advice and a third party. She could help everyone else on the ship, except Mal of course, why couldn't she help him.

He raised his hand and knocked twice on the shuttle door.

"Jin" a woman said on the other side. He took a breath and walked inside.

"Inara can I talk to you?" he said shakily.

EPIKTETOS

Epiktetos peeked into the dining area. Two men were sitting at the table, minding their respective business. "Captain? Any captain here?" he called.

The taller man dropped what he was doing and gave him an irritated look. "Right here! I'm Captain Reynolds. Who the hell are you?"

—"Just a passenger..." Epiktetos paused as the man clenched his jaws. Is he going to draw on me too? No? Lovely. "I understand that you just picked up a few."

—"I'm startin' to understand that my own self," the man said warily.

—"May I?" The man shrugged and gestured him to a chair. "Sure, have a seat." Epiktetos made a move toward the table but stopped dead as he caught sight of Jake Wolfe devouring a plate of protein. "Jake Wolfe," he said with a tip of an imaginary hat. "Graceful, as always."

— "Wait now," the captain said. "You guys know each other?" Epiktetos chuckled, seemingly amused. "Barely," he replied. "May I say, it's mighty selfless of you to shelter him on your boat like that."

— "Whoa... wh... What do you mean?" Reynolds murmured tentatively.

Epiktetos gave the man a feral grin. "You mean... You don't know?"

— "No! I don't! Now tell me! Is this guy trouble?"

— "That's one hell of a question to ask!" Epiktetos said thoughtfully. "Myself, I'm not overly infatuated with the prospect of spending an undetermined amount of time in the vicinity of a psychotic, delusional, remorseless runaway killing machine..."

"JOHN!" Reynolds roared as he stormed out of the room.

Jake looks up from his dinner as the captain storms off hollaring for "John," whom he assumes is the guy that rescued him, and starts laughing hystarically.

"Did you really have to drive the captain that... crazy this soon?" Jake asks, still smirking. "I mean, I may be a bit... different... from most folks, but a psychotic, delusional, remorseless runaway killing machine? I think thats a bit thick... sure I may be psychotic... but useually not without prevocation... delusional? The voices have quieted down some... and remorseless? Now thats just CRUEL... I have remorse... so long as they weren't ruttin' 'lliance or feds trying to capture me and put me back in a government run organization ment to de-humanize children... or thugs and mercenaries and bounty hunters wanting to make a quick cred or two... Oh, wait... all of the people I kill ARE any of the above mentioned... so I guess you could say remorseless..." he grins, folding his arms across his cheast.

"Get off your lazy pei gu and get yer own" Jake says with a smirk as he is filling two bowls up, his own and a clean one for Epiktetos

"And, shouldn't complain about food... I've been going on water and a few... ummm... well, pretty much hand to mouth live game for well over a week now..." Jake replys with a grimace of distaste.

"Couldn't risk the fire, you see... also, didn't really have anything I could make one with... that swamp wood is go se for pretty much everything, but homes for birds and snakes I suppose..."

"Thanks," he said as he accepted the bowl. He began to eat double-quick. "Makes a fine hiding place for government fugitives, though," he uttered through a mouthful.

He glanced around, seemingly to make sure no one was eardropping, then leaned forward and lowered his voice to a whisper. "For real, now," he said, his tone dead serious. "Why do you think they took us aboard? I say we have something they need. 'Could be they're after the prices on our heads, but I don't see it. Unless your worth gunning down a fed squad for? Nevermind that. My point is: We need to find out who we're dealing with. Now, I'm gonna ask around, try to figure out what these people are in for. You, you go sniffin' for potential clues but keep it quiet. Pinpoint potential threats and work out their weak spots." He leaned closer. "And watch out for buddy-boy, he's an empath." With that said, he leaned back and resumed his meal.

"Are you with me on this?"

Pain's Bunk

It felt empty without her there. He missed waking up and seeing her laying next to him. He missed her warmth, her touch, the way she made him feel.

Pain laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling. They had decided to end it, he knew it, but he still missed her. Still wanted her beside him.

Getting up, Pain stretched his muscles, then said to himself "Been a while since I hit the bench. Think I'll go do that then."

Opening the hatch and climbing out of his bunk, Pain made his way towards the Cargo Bay to lift some weights.

Time to play at being a people-person.

"Look, huh... Sorry for freaking out earlier. I got hit in the head and this "guy" just showed up... Call it a survival reflex." The girl nodded understandingly. "No, it's okay," she said. "We get that a lot," she added nervously. Epiktetos scratched the back of his head and looked away. "So hum... Kaylee, right? What is it you do? On the ship?" Your doing great, keep it up

— "Me? I guess I... Pretty much hold her together! Keep her in the air," she answered with a speck of pride.

— "You're the mechanic? Ai yah tien ah! That's one mighty burdensome piece of work! You carry it out all by yourself?"

— "Well... Yeah!"

Epiktetos was genuinely astonished. "That's... Impressive!" he stammered.

— "Thanks! How about you? Is it your first tour out in the Black?" she asked as she was quickly loosening up.

— "Hardly. I've been jumpin' from one ship to the other for... 'least a few years now. Mostly cargo freighters, or something near enough."

— "Yeah? But you seem so... young!" He chuckled at that. "You're one to talk!"

— "See? That's classic teenage wit!" she replied with a waggish grin. She gestured at something behind her. "Look, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now, so, is there anything you..."

— "Well, now that you mention it..." Maybe he could get something out of this conversation after all. "Would you happen to have some industrial solvent handy? 'Cause I've got this critical piece of equipment..."

EDIT: OOC: I wasn't happy with the post as it was, and I'm still not thrilled with it now. But it serves it's purpose, and since it's already up I figure I might as well work on it until I like it. Woe! That'll teach me to post in a such a hurry.

"Yes Malcolm" John said as he entered the shuttle. Before Mal could reply Inara jumped on him.

"How many times will I have to tell you to knock before entering?"

"Who are these other people." Mal asked ignoring Inara

"Passengers." JOhn replied

"YOu didn't clear them with me"

"Sorry, but were in the middle of space I don't think there is anything we can do about it right now."

"Well fine" and with that MAl left the shuttle

"THanks for listening Inara"

"Anytime"

John sighed and left the shuttle. THey would be planetside soon and he needed to get prepared.

Bella was wandering around her new home, almost unable to contain her excitement. This was what she had been waiting for, dreaming for, ever since she could remember. She still couldn't quite believe it.

As she walked, she spotted the man from earlier, the one she had run into. Then, she hadn't gotten a chance to apologize for it, but now she had the time.

She made her way over to him. "Hey." She smiled. "I'm sorry about earlier, running into you like that, should've been watching where I was going."

One cheery mechanic, a pair of monstrous gunmen, a trigger happy ex-browncoat lady, a priggish doctor, a clueless captain, and, to top it all off, not one, but TWO telepaths, one of whom just happened to be the ship's pilot. And that was only on the upper deck. "Who knows what kind of screwball might lie in the passenger dorms..." Epiktetos decided he had seen enough and headed back toward the galley. Hopefully he could find Jake, or the empowered goofball who had led him in this ri shao gou shi bing.

*Having finally finished eating his fill on a real, cooked meal, Jake finds his way back from the showers, hair still damp and tousled, but trimmed down a bit, and his stubble shaved clean. He is wearing the pants that he came aboard with (cleaned now), and has the towel about his shoulders as he wanders the ship. He isn't wearing any boots and makes hardly any sound as he begins taking in all the sounds and scents of his new surrounding, and putting them away in the back of his mind for future referance. Heading down to the cargo bay, he bumps into the big guy whos pistol he had borrowed earlier.*

"It's polite to say excuse me when you bump into people on accident, little man." replied Pain as he eyed Jake.

He still didn't trust the guy after the little incident in the Cargo Bay, where he had gotten blindsided by him, not to mention having one of his guns "borrowed" in the process.

Popping his neck, Pain asked "So care to lift some weights? I'll spot you."

OOC:Thanks, I had a hunch but nothing solid. Now I know.

Epiktetos was making his way back to the dining area when he turned a sharp corner and literally bumped into a long haired girl. "Hey, Leaving, right? How've you been?" She just stared at him blankly. "Oh I get it, I'm in the way, huh?" Still no answer. "Fine, I can do one way conversations just as well. I know you psychic folks think you got it all down, or somesuch, but you're kidding yourself if you think you can seize the whole picture merely by poking into someone's mind. Others have made that mistake before you and they paid for it. Now, you gonna rat me out or not?" That seemed to get through, somewhat. "I won't need to," she said.

— "Oh you're a diviner too? Lao tyen yeh, you're a prodigy." It wasn't really a compliment, nor was it meant to be mistaken as one, but she smiled anyway. "Yep," she nodded matter-of-factly.

—"I figure you don't need to tell me your name either huh?"

—"I'm River."

"Well, so far, I've been liking her just fine," Bella said. That was the understatement of the year as she was practically bristling with excitement to be here - on a ship, finally. "I haven't had much to compare her to, but still." She shrugged. "How long have you been here?"

"I won't need to." What could that possibly mean? Could be he was about to get tossed out the airlock. That, or she was just playing some warped mind games. Either way, a bit of extra caution wouldn't hurt. "Or maybe I ought to grab the bull by the horns, as they say..." Telepaths were unstable people at best, but he knew better than to downplay their abilities. "John" had let him on this boat for a reason, and his short exchange with River had left him with a powerful urge to find out what it was. His mind all made up, he went looking for John.

"YOu know I can't remember how long. Time passes quickly." He could feel her excitement. "Calm down, the ship's not that nice."
River's voice boomed over the com. "We'll be planetside soon so the captian wants to talk to us all about the job in the galley in five. The boat smells like fish"

"Well, when he says jump." he said and the two walked to the galley

"Right this way." Pain said, gesturing to the Cargo Bay.

As he was about to show the man the way to the weight bench, Pain heard River's voice over the comm.

Pain stopped, sniffed the air, and said "It doesn't smelly fishy. Does it smell fishy to you?" Turning to face the man, Pain continued "Well looks like we'll have to do this some other time. Lets go see what Captain Grouchypants wants."

EPIKTETOS

Epiktetos stood on the catwalk when the com lit up. "Planetside? The job?" He was truthfully left aghast by their carelessness. Or was it cockiness? "Thats your shot at finding out where this crazy train's headed," said a disembodied voice. Epiktetos shrugged in agreement and went back toward the galley. It wasn't like a little eavesdropping had ever hurt anybody.

OOC: I've been going through the threads quite a lot these past few days and I just want to say that I really enjoyed the read and I love where this is going. You guys are great !

Jake takes a sniff of the air "Yeah.. its a bit fishy, but mostly its... well... greasy, metallic... it's smells like a boat of this type should..."

Then he smirks at the guy calling the Captain "Grouchypants," and pads along behind him towards the galley.

"You don't happen to have a shoulder rig that you aren't using, do you?" he asks

As the two entered the Galley, Pain said "I think I may have somethin' that'll do you. What type of gun do you have?"

"For now I'm using these..." Jake says, pulling the two federal marshal .45 calibur pistols from the back of his belt.

A warm blush spread across Bella's cheeks. Was it that obvious? "I've just been waiting for this my whole life, that's all. It's kind of a very important moment - hence, the excitement."

When the announcement came over the comm, Bella wasn't sure if it included her or not. But John seemed to indicate it did, so she followed him to the galley.

Pain looked at the guns and said with a smile "Follow me to my room after the Captain gives his speech and I'll hook you up with somethin' shiny. Dong ma?"

"Sheh sheh..." Jake replys while putting the pistols back in his belt.

"Not a problem." replied Pain as he sat down in his usual chair, putting his feet up on the table and crossing his arms.

"Okay, this is a simple one if we do it right. The cargo we're stealin is goin to be wrapped up nice for us. We'll find it in their shipping bay, they plan to send it off in a couple of days." The captain began adressing the crew. "Zoe, Jayne, John, River and you two," he indicated Epiktetos and Wolfe, " Will come and get the goods. It's heavy stuff so we'll need enough people to carry it and John and River in case things get hairy. Pain you guard the ship. I don't think we'll have any trouble but you have to be safe."

"Bella was it?" he said turning. "I want you to be in the cockpit so once we get back we can take right off."

"Me?" Bella replied.

"Yes you darlin, we'll be planet side shortly. Be ready"

Jake raises an eyebrow at Epiktetos, trying to communicate without talking.

What in the hell? he thinks to himself, I've been on this boat less'n a week, and already the cap'n wants me working jobs with his crew? ... Strange, very strange.
