Malcom Renyolds Personal Log
"Here's how it is: Earth got used up, so we terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. Central Planets, them was formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Serenity. Got a good crew: fighters, pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher, and a bona fide companion. There's a doctor, too, his genius sister from some Alliance camp, so they're keeping a low profile. You got a job, we can do it, don't much care what it is."

LAST TIME ON FIREFLY

GREEN ROOM: http://www.fireflyfans.net/fireflychat.asp

TEASER:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=3135

Mal set up a deal with Badger to pick up some goods in Serenity Valley on Hara. While en route, Mal got a wave from Niska, who has apparently taken up with one Jubal Early. Neither Niska nor Early had anything immediate to say, so Mal told them to wave him when they felt like talking.

Wash, having not slept for three days for fear of River killing him in his sleep, has begun having sleep-deprived hallucinations and has taken the ship off course. Serenity is now rapidly headed toward the edge of explored space.

Zoe has been attempting to get Wash to wake up completely from the drug-induced, waking nightmare that is driving him, while Shepherd Book goes looking for Simon, hoping the good doctor can give Wash something to either bring him out of his nightmare or put him more fully to sleep.

While Inara points out the ship's current path will take them into Reaver territory, Jayne and Zoe try to convince Mal of the insanity of heading to Serenity Valley for a pickup...

ACT 1:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=3197

The crew was thrown into chaos over the mad dash into the edge of Reaver space and the resultant disabling of Serenity. Simon was knocked unconscious, Jayne armed himself in preparation for a Reaver attack, and Wash passed out from exhaustion after finding evidence the the ship had been sabotaged, probably by Jubal Early.

River took over care for Simon, Mal and Book took steps to revive Wash, and Zoe and Kaylee began repairs to the engine. Inara, thinking things under control, began dressing in her shuttle only to find that things were about to get much worse.

With the ship in disabled and in chaos, Niska and Early attacked. Mal, Zoe, and Jayne took out Niska's lackeys, but not before Early snuck up to Inara's shuttle and managed to get Inara stripped, bound, and gagged.

Niska avoided shooting and capture, then headed for the unconscious Simon in the infirmary. He found a scalpel and tried to hold Simon hostage for Mal to put down arms, but Wash managed to get the drop on Niska, pinning him and exacting revenge for his treatment at Niska's hands in War Stories before Niska passed out. Between them, Wash and Simon subdued Niska as Mal and Zoe entered the infirmary, leaving Jayne to deal with the bodies of the dead goons.

Book took Early by surprise, letting Inara get to safety in the cargo bay. Early and Book fought, Early finally knocking Book unconscious and stealing Inara's shuttle. As her shuttle disappeared, Inara freed herself and found Jayne's workout towel to wrap around her nakedness.

Kaylee, coming down from the engine room in the all-clear, found Mal exacting a little revenge of his own on Niska (in the form of taking off Niska's ear). There was no one on the bridge to see the proximity alert echoed in the sensors of Inara's shuttle. Book and Early made an agreement to work together to survive what's coming.

Reavers.

ACT 2:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=3208

As the Reavers locked their docking clamps onto Serenity, Book and Early worked together to draw them away. Early left Inara's shuttle and attacked the Reavers from Niska's ship, while Book used Inara's shuttle to ram the docking clamps, making them release Serenity and being knocked unconscious by the impact. Early brought him back to Niska's ship, where Book awoke, escaped, and returned to Serenity's infirmary for some rest and doctoring.

During the exchange between Early and the Reaver's ship, Zoe manuevered Serenity away from the battle, but close enough for Book to get back aboard.

Inara managed to borrow a shirt from Mal and pants from Zoe, completing her ensemble until her shuttle could be returned to the ship. She and Zoe got Wash into bed, where he dreamed strange dreams.

Niska escaped from his bonds in the infirmary and shot Mal in the back. Jayne paused in his cleanup after the gunfight to recapture Niska, inflicting damage while dragging Niska back to the infirmary to be drugged and re-bound. Simon got Mal's unconscious form back to the infirmary to tend his wounds, after drugging Niska into oblivion.

River retreated to her room; Inara and Kaylee heard the gunshot and went running to the infirmary. Book, upon seeing Inara, informed her that her shuttle had been badly damaged.

Jayne made his way back to the cargo bay to check the bodies of Niska's goons, spacing them once they had been stripped of guns and valuables. Kaylee returned to the engine room to continue repairs to the ship after seeing that Simon had everything under control in the infirmary.

Early chose to fly away, leaving Niska to the tender mercies of the crew. The Reavers followed and captured Early, subjecting him to torture. Early met Saffron aboard the Reaver ship and resolved to take control of the ship, using it to exact his revenge against the crew of Serenity.

After making sure that Mal was safely in Simon's care and Wash soundly slept, Zoe returned to the bridge, retrieved Inara's shuttle by remote, and got the ship back on course to Hera and moving toward the job waiting in Serenity Valley...

Simon is not focusing on much, his head is in his hands while he tries to focus past the roiling images, feelings and sounds. Which feel like they are rebounding, with a vengance, from off the insides of his skull.

Kaylee's Move
Location: Cargo Bay

Kaylee sits next to Simon, placing a cool hand on the back of his neck.

"You ok?"

Simon gives one grimace of pain and continues to cradle his head.

"Look, I don't know what went on with you 'n Niska in the 'firmary. I do know that he's bad-real bad-and whatever ya did, ya had to do. We're family, Simon, and family sticks ta'gether. That's what my parents always said, and they ain't steered me wrong yet. Let it go."

Kaylee gives Simon's neck a little squeeze and moves off to wait for Mal & Zoe.

End Move

Inara's turn

By the time Inara finishes bathing, getting dressed, and twisting her hair back into a complex crown of curls, she begins to feel much stronger.

Whatever narcotics Jayne dispensed to her have taken away the weakness and tremble aftereffects of the seizure.

"Hara central medical facility...I can get what I need there..."

Inara has been to Hara before--as a Companion, she's been to most planets Serenity can access..and some Serenity can't.

Inara takes one last look at herself, folding a hem in on the front of Mal's white shirt to hide the blood drops there.

Jayne has proceeded to the cargo bay, and is currently in charge of what's happening on Serenity while Mal, Zoe and Kaylee are gone for the pickup.

She will make a short stop at her shuttle to find some suitable clothing from what's left, reapply her mask of makeup and jewelry, and retrieve what money she has left.

River appears in the infirmerary. She says to Wash: "I'm fine. Nothing will happen." She smiles at him.

..WASH'S MOVE

Wash turns and sees River. His jaw drops and he just stands there like an idiot for several seconds.

"You.. you're okay? I mean--"

Suddenly his demeanor changes to one of overenthusiastic relief.

"You're okay! Well, that's great! Wow that's.. that's just great! If you didn't creep me out so much I could hug ya."

Mal and the others say their piece, as Wash looks around at the group. Gives each person a long, curious look. When his eyes fall upon Inara he kinda does a doubletake at her and then shakes his head. Then Mal says to Zoe and Kaylee "Are we going or what?"

"Wait, Mal before y'all go... So everybody's okay? We're all okay? No impending doom looming over anyone's heads? Not that I was expecting any but.. Okay. Well. That's great. I'd just like to take this moment to say that even though we just uhm.. We're just nine people who for various reasons have each ended up together on this ship. I uh, I kinda think of us as a sorta ..well you're like family. I just don't wanna see any of us, y'know.. Uh, hurt. We gotta look out for each other. So.. Doc? As Mal said let's uhm, you make sure no one's got bruises or bleeding internally or caught some flu bug or something, okay? We all went through quite a bit on the way here. We seem to go through a lot all the time, don't we? Give everybody ..physicals. Yeah that's it! Mal and Kaylee and Zoe you can get them when they get back. I'll go get the refueling procedures started with the dock, uhm.. Out there." Wash motions for Mal and the ladies to go that he's done talking and he apologizes if he was being a little mushy.

He kinda shrugs, as if he can't shake this feeling of impending doom even though he sees no evidence before him that doom's coming. He turns to go out and down the ramp. Calling back to the doctor, "You can gimme a physical too Doc, soon as you're done doin' everbody else. I'll uh, be outside."

And he's out of the ship. Doing whatever it is Wash does in order to successfully get the ship refueled.

Inara's turn, supplemental
--------------------------------
Mal and the others say their piece, as Wash looks around at the group. Gives each person a long, curious look. When his eyes fall upon Inara he kinda does a doubletake at her and then shakes his head. Then Mal says to Zoe and Kaylee "Are we going or what?"
--------------------------------

Inara smiles at Wash, as he looks at her oddly.

She has returned from her salvage trip to her shuttle, wearing a deep green sheath that shimmers with a myraid of hidden colors--blue, green, gold...Her hair is as always, impeccably curled, and caught up in silver pins with emerald detail.

She has reapplied her makeup, and her lips shine with her usual deep burgundy lip color. She again smells of lily of the valley, instead of cold sweat and Jayne's bunk.

In a tiny bag inside her bodice rests a large wad of currency.

Her face reveals nothing of the last few hours...
She glances significantly at Jayne, who merely nods his head and returns his gaze to the assembled.

----------------------------------
So.. Doc? As Mal said let's uhm, you make sure no one's got bruises or bleeding internally or caught some flu bug or something, okay? We all went through quite a bit on the way here. We seem to go through a lot all the time, don't we? Give everybody ..physicals. Yeah that's it
----------------------------------

Inara's back stiffens. She glances first at Wash, then Simon

"I've recently had my physical at Ariel when we were there last. I assure you I am in perfect condition, and harbor no ill effects from our little adventure!"

"I really can't stay, I actually have a client I must briefly meet before we are off again. If you all will excuse me."

Lies...lies...it's always been this way, and I suppose it always will. Hiding from the ones I love the most, just as I have always done.

Inara begins to make her way toward the cargo doors

Kaylee's Move
Location: Back of the Mule, heading out for parts.

Looking back into the bay, Kaylee sighs as she sees the interaction between Simon and River. Her thoughts travel back to the farm where she grew up, running around after her brothers...playing with the machines they managed to break. She misses them something fierce, but tries not to let it bother her. She's with people she loves, doing work that she loves just as much. She's even able to send most of her take back to her parents.

Sitting behind her Captain, she watches Hera unfold before her and thinks wistfully about her first home.

Book remains silent during the Captain, Kaylee and Zoe's departure. He doesn't need to move closer to hear the conversations with Simon. He merely observes Simon closely, waiting for a sign he doesn't want to see.

Book to himself

"That boy's done something foolish and I fear he's not gonna be the only one to pay for it."

Feeling that Jayne could benefit from his experience, (and the cap'n could've left someone better in charge,) Book leaves River and Simon in the cargo bay and goes to the bridge.

“Who ‘r you wans’a know? I’ll tell you summin…I…I…Oh. ‘scuse me jus’ a sec. Whoa, Nellie!”

Thorne struggles to his feet, swaying and looking slightly green. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, bends forward at the waist clutching both the bar and his stomach, and suddenly...snaps erect and opens his eyes. He is now stone cold sober, with the color returning to his face.

“Ah, better now. Captain Reynolds, I presume?”

At Mals’ nod he removes a small rectangle of white cardboard from his pocket. With a flourish he hands it to Mal. The card reads:

Roosevelt Thorne

“ I’m Roosevelt Thorne. Most just call me Rosie, so you might as well. Lets get a table and get down to business.” Aside to Zoë. “Ma’am, have we met before? You do look familiar. No? My bad then.”

Book's Move

Location: Bridge

Book settles into the tactical chair, takes a lingering look out the port window, then turns his attention to the sensors and read-outs coming into the system. He switches through local channels and adeptly finds the chatter of Alliance underlings discussing a routine cargo transfer.

Alliance forces of unknown rank discuss --
1st underling: "Only 2 crates?! Why.... What a waste of time."
2nd underling: "Never you mind. You just keep track of what you're doing."


Book switches incoming channels to a lesser known frequency. He listens attently but no transmissions occur. Switching back to the previous channel, he wishes he hadn't checked the other channel.

2nd underling's voice "...too valuable to take any chances. You have your orders. With our main force en route, you need to make sure all remains calm and nothing happens. Now clear this channel."
1st underling "but sir, we've been told to keep an eye out for these ones. If only,"
2nd underling "I don't need you to tell me how to do my job. I've already made the appropriate calls. I don't report back to you when I do! out!"


Book says aloud

" I hope they expedite things. This looks real bad. Alliance transfer goin' on near abouts the Hara Cary Bar, seems they might have recognized our distinguished captain... perhaps not though."

Well, I’ve got one that’s stuffed with enough hardware to equip two heavy companies. Everything from sidearms to light anti-aircraft and mortars. I have the coordinates, so we can lift over to the Valley and pick it right up. There’s just two conditions: One - we spend as little time on the ground there as possible.

Voice, different than the first, but still Alliance in procedure speaks, (we'll call him 3rd underling) "Confirmed sir, It's Reynolds alright, and he's apparently oblivious of own man on the inside. He's taking a drink with some off-worlder. I'm sending the off-worlders specs now." [beat]
Another voice, Book recognizes as the previous 2nd underlings voice responds, "Received. [beat] You're not to do approach them, leutenant. Keep your man in the bar where he is, and the rest of your men guarding the cargo... Wait for reinforcements."
3rd underling "Yessir."


Book calls over the intercom

"Wash... Jayne... To the bridge."

Book said, "Wash... Jayne... To the bridge."

..WASH'S MOVE

Wash walks up the ramp just as Book makes that annoucement, having finished up with the refueling procedures successfully. However, he was just out of earshot and didn't hear the message. Fortunately, since he knows Zoe is in town with Kaylee and Mal, Wash doesn't have any motive to go anywhere other than back to his bridge. Which is what he does, and is mildly surprised to find Book on the bridge when he arrives there.

"So preacher man," Wash says with a good natured laugh, "I know it's been several years since my last confession but there's no need to make a housecall."

Wash takes his seat and checks some readings. Unless Book is in his seat, in which case Wash politely and patiently waits for him to vacate it. Smiling.

"Son, your problems up to now aren't my concern. If you don't take my load, your future problems aren't my concern either...and you will have future problems. That sleeze at the bar in the blue jacket is an Alliance narc, and he's been comming someone regular since you came in. If we make a deal it's in my interest to get you out of here in one piece. Otherwise I'll just sit back and watch the fun. But if you deliver my load, and me with it, don't worry, I'll make it worth your while.

CIARA


Inara's turn


everyone else seems to be either leaving Serenity or going about their business.

Inara takes on last look at the seemingly ill Simon and goes down the ramp onto the dock.

She makes her way into the center of the city-from shabby neighborhoods where she clutches her shawl about herself in fear, and the locals look at her as if she's grown an extra eye--to more genteel sectors where the inhabitants look down their noses at her, assuming a woman unescorted must be up to no good...in a way, she was.

Finally she finds herself in the courtyard of Hara Central Medical Facility.

She enters the sliding door, and a rush of cool, sterilized air hits her. All around there are facility employees, bustling about doing the jobs they are meant to...

She walks up to the desk and asks if there has been a package left for Misses Wildwood. While she dressed in her shuttle, she put in a call to her contact in the facility, a Dr. Liu. He agreed to leave what she needed with the receptionist on the grounds that she pay twice the usual price, and leave quickly. Inara bristled at his rude tone, but she was quite desperate for this medication, and had no time to argue manners.

The suprised receptionist looks up from her charts, and reaches beneath the counter for the small silver box containing Inara's salvation. Before she offers it, she holds her hand out--palm up. Rolling her eyes, Inara places the small velvet pouch in the woman's hand.

"bai chi" Inara mumbles under her breath as she takes the box from the woman--more forecefully than necessary, and turns to exit the hospital.

Inara leaves the facility, and turns down one of the darker, grubbier alleys. Hands trembling, she opens the small box and retrieves the syringe and one of the brownish vials held within--the clear vials are for after. She readies the syringe, drawing a few cc's of the amber liquid into the chamber.

She pulls her clothing aside to bare one pale hip, and jabs the needle deep into the muscle. She lays her head back against the wall of the alley, and sucks her breath in sharply between her teeth.

The rush of the narcotic makes her blood sing--her back arches as tingles of pleasure run up it. She smiles lazily, her lips curving up softly. She slowly removes the needle from her flesh and returns it to it's case. This had cost her extra too. The doctor was a bit of a hard sell on the coagulants she needed--they were a much-needed drug here. The narcotic was easy, if expensive-she just couldn't bear the nausea and insomnia that came with the coagulants...not without this soother.

Inara draws up another syringe with the clear liquid and injects herself with it as well.

Righting her clothing, and stowing her silver box in a hidden pocket, Inara heads back toward the edge of town--and Serenity.

3rd underling "Positive, the outlander is Thorne. I've checked Thorne discretely with infrared eye scans to be sure."


(beat) Book stands up and moves to the gun locker near the back of the bridge.

3rd underling "Understood."


Book snaps his eyes to Wash, looking hard.

"The Captain and Zoe and are in serious trouble. Alliance's got something going on nearby, not sure what, but it's not gonna come to any good and our are folk gonna get caught up in it. Where's Jayne?"

"Ain't seen him since we all met in the cargo bay. Do ya know where this bar was they were talking about? Just gimmie a plain revolver. Something small that won't bring about suspicion. This is Alliance we're talking about. Just aiming a gun in their general direction is cause for a hangin'."

Wash follows Book's lead.

..END MOVE

OOC: I recall a message awhile back where the player doing Jayne said he'd be outta pocket, so maybe we should move forward without him and if he can come back he can like be our backup or somethin'.

Oh. And I'm goin' to bed so I'll try to check back in sometime maybe late tomorrow.

"Cap'n and Zoe didn't take a radio into the bar with them did they? Did Kaylee go into the bar with them? (beat) Too many questions, I know, I'm sorry son. No need to answer what ya can't possibly know."

(Another pause)

"I know you're gonna want to rush off headstrong and try to save your wife, but I want you to think. What happened last time you wanted to save Zoe from trouble?"


Book looks down the hallway

Book calling down the hallway

"Jayne.... JAYNE!"

Turning back to Wash

"We can't wait. I've got a plan, but it won't account for almost everything... (beat) all it may count for is you being able to land this ship on a dime, cause we're probably gonna need Serenity before this is over."

Book picks up the radio he wishes the Captain had taken.

"I wish Jayne were here... this city's about to come to a boil."

OOC: Still out of town for funeral arangements but will try to log on from other computers when able.

Jayne's turn:

"Ain't much use wishin' shep, yur prayers are already answered" says Jayne as he pulls back the bolt on Vera and lets it slam into place with a resounding metalic "ca'chang".

"Been down in the bay, overhaulin' some o' that stuff we done took off Niska's men. Made a few refits to that older mule we had down there an' I think I done got it runnin' and ready for some action."

"Now then, if'in ya' follow me down I'll show ya' the new toy"

Jayne slings Vera across his back by the shoulder strap and heads down to the cargo area.

PLOT POINT: Due to the fact that I will be unable to post reliable updates to Jayne's activities untill after the funneral, Jayne has moddified the broken mule (now fixed and running) with two belt fed machine guns taken from Niska's assault force. It's a bit of a patch job for now, not too pretty to look at but, it will tear things up.

Thorne:

Thorne smiles to himself. He likes Mal's nerve, but realizes his machismo is likely to get them all killed, so he decides to offer a carrot. He's been around here quite a while, and nothing goes through the Hara docks he doesn't know about. He also realizes any effort to get Mal will draw down dock security.

"Listen, boy. Ask the young lady to leave old Smitty alone. Purple-bellies aren't at the top of my Christmas list, but the one's around here are good. If they think they're burned they'll come for you, and they'll come hard..two or three squads with heavy weapons and body armor. Probably a couple of combat cars and maybe air cover. If you want to commit suicide, this is an appropriate place, but I'd hate to see the bar shot up.

If you really want to excercise your shooters, There's a stop we can make on the way back to your ship. Plenty of chance for gunplay, but less of getting smeared, and a nice haul. Just comm your little buddies and have them meet you at Alliance dock 4. Sooner would be better. The Federales are right outside."

Keeping an ear on the conversation and an eye out for trouble, ZOE notes the Fed just as THORNE points him out. Gets MAL's signal to 'take care of' the Fed and immediately hears THORNE's suggestion to let the Fed sit. Pulls MAL aside for a private convo.

To MAL (quietly): "Hate to say it, Sir, but I gotta agree. Probably not be our best move to take out a Fed in the middle of a crowded bar on an Alliance planet. We've already seen more trouble on this run than we generally like. Let's just load the cargo, Thorne if we have to, and head on back to Persephone."

Keeps an eye out for any further trouble while patiently waiting for MAL's response, one hand at the concealed radio at her hip and the other resting on the stock of her rifle.

"Well, at least you're always ready for action. Alliance's comin' down right on top of Mal and Zoe, but I don't think they took a radio."

Book looks to the storage cupboard and notices that indeed what he thought was a radio was in fact only a radio case. The Cap'n and Zoe did take a radio with them.

"ahhh good, this makes things much easier."

Book whispers softly into the radio he's holding while looking at Wash

"Zoe?"

Book waits for a response on the radio while following Jayne down to the rennovated second mule.

i DO aim to misbehave


Rowan's move:
To establish what she's been doing all this time.

It took a bit to get back to the storage facility on foot from the Hara Cary. Who knew there would be only two places on Hara that had billiards systems at all, and only one that actually worked without shorting?

The proprietor gives a gap-toothed grin from behind the counter as he sees her approach his establishment. How his gaze swept over her and the gleam in his eye said he thought he knew exactly what she would look like out of her clothes.

Moving past him, she feels his eyes on her back as she moves off down a row of dingy little sheds. Some are standing wide open, and the ones that aren't have small red lights above the doors indicating secure status. She goes directly to the one on the end, taps in her six-digit code and steps back as the door rises. Inside are two small bags in the center of an oversized space - a small duffle and a slim attaché. Loading one onto each shoulder, she turns and leaves the door open as she heads back out. Seeing the proprietor still leering, and noting that his hands never once appeared from under the counter, she walks back out into the street and makes for the docks not two blocks away.

With ships landing every day, there has to be at least one suitable. Since she doesn't have enough currency for full passage anywhere (at least, not without dipping into her stash), that means bartering to become temporary crew. Most ships generally come in with all the crew they need, but there are times when some get the idea to leave in order to switch ships, or even settle down. Not entirely rare for a crewmember to be "escorted" off ship either. Captains can never be too sure about the folk they hire on, and bad apples had a tendency to turn up on occasion. Once she even witnessed a crewman removed by way of a pine box, and rightly so since the fella was skimming. She learned that by way of the captain when she signed on as a replacement, and figured the circumstances were legitimate.

Keeping her head down so her hair hides her face, she walks right on past the Alliance guard post and onto the docking grounds. Used to be a time when they were few and far between on Hara, before the war. Funny how governments so confident in conquest feel they have to show a strong front after the dust settles. Then again Rowan figured conquering a planet was the simple thing - hanging onto it afterward, now that would take a fair bit of high maintenance.

Tossing her hair aside again as she looks up, Rowan notes several ships have come and gone in the time she ended up spending down at the Hara Cary. One of the new arrivals, fifth one down the row, was a Firefly class, and a nice sturdy R3 to boot. Smiling softly, Rowan decides to see if her captain might be in the market for a cook, or a welding technician, tertiary systems engineer or even a cleaning woman. Spotting movement out of the corner of her eye, Rowan glances to her right, and calms some when she doesn't see more purple bellies, then looks again.

A companion would never be hard to spot in a port like this one, but this one would have been exceptional even among her own kind. Dark featured, with the flawless olive complexion that indicated Italian blended with a hint of the Asian, she is an incomparable beauty. Combined with the bearing of one who is taught how to walk, a gaze that focused on nothing yet observed everything and the warm smile of one who understands human emotion, and it's plainly obvious that this companion is unique.

And also headed straight for the Firefly.

Rowan's Move (Supplemental)

Rowan sees the person driving the mule is a girl with a bright smile and gregarious open demeanor that seems a little more down to earth against the companion's polished elegance. Watching the companion smile and respond, Rowan realizes quickly that these two know each other fairly well and suddenly has a stray thought. What are the chances that this Firefly is crewed entirely by women?

Inara's turn
phew--hope I can learn to live up to Channain's writing!


Inara turns as Kaylee drives up to the docks in the mule. She takes a moment to look at the sweet girl.
Kaylee's hair is coming out of her ponytail in becoming little wisps. Her cheeks are bright red from exertion and excitement. She has her trademark grin plastered from ear to ear...she looks like sunshine incarnate. Kaylee has obviously had a profitable day--the mule is loaded down with various bits and pieces.

-----------------
"Hey, 'Nara!" she calls when she's close enough. "You out doin' some shoppin'? Guess you'd have to replace your stuff that's gone missin'."
-----------------

Inara smiles her brightest and nods to her friend:

"yes, I picked up some fabric to make a few new gowns. I will probably have some left over, and we can make a little something for you!"

"I bought you something!" Inara reaches into her bag and produces two wrapped packages...she offers them to Kaylee.

Kaylee squeals with delight and begins to tear the brown wrappers.
Kaylee: Oh 'Nara! You didn't hafta get me anything! Shiny!

As Kaylee unwraps her gifts, Inara takes a moment to look around the dock. She spots a young asian woman observing she and Kaylee closely. She has a look of intense curiousity on her face. Inara smiles at her warmly, as she is taught...though even with no companion training, she would have...this woman is one of the most lovely she's ever seen. A warmth spreads to Inara's face as she admires her. The woman's eyes meet hers--unflinching.

The woman is tall, with dark, upturned eyes and full lips. Her face is heart-shaped, her hair is long and glossy black. Her skin is smooth and glowing with health. She is dressed inconspicuously, but her confident demeanor and frank gaze make her exceptional.

Inara notices that the woman is walking directly toward she and Kaylee--not breaking her gaze.
