There's less than two weeks to go and diversion is key... and we don't even have Zoe or Jayne to get nekkid for us... so here's my little time waster to throw among the games floating around the board...

Rules are simple: it's a riddle. The answer is a character seen in the first season of Firefly, one with a speaking role (so it's not going to be "that guy in the background of point 35:17 in the timeline of 'Ariel'").

So, either this will be fun, or it'll fade away and no one will mention it ever again (just don't make fun of me, I'm so sensitive).

HAVE FUN!!!

RIDDLE #1:
Times are hard, things are scarce,
we make do with what we've got.
We patch it here and scrape by there,
Lord knows it's not a lot.

There comes a time when things come along,
and you take what passes by.
It's not a rule or a written law,
but a code written in the sky.

I've lived my life as best I can,
teaching what I'm able.
But morality is hard to keep,
when there's little food on the table.

So stay a while and help us out,
you know I mean no harm.
We'll treat you well and barter high,
and coax you with our charm.

WHO AM I?

I can't remember her name, but the girl who welcomed Simon and River to their new "home" in 'Safe'. The one who fingered River as a witch.

I also say the teacher in "Safe." Doralee is her name.

Yep, it's Doralee. She was pretty darned cute, too bad she turned out to be a bible thumper (the scary kind).

So I'm no poet, but I have a lot of time on my hands. Let me give this a shot.

Stop my heart, stop my brain
Pump your drugs into my veins
I don't care, I'm still free
Your men will never catch me.

What I have isn't mine
Like most folk out flyin'
in the black, through Hell
I have a tale to tell.

Frozen rock of desperate souls
awaiting gifts from the sky
But they riddled me with holes
So I can not save them, only die.

Yeah, the first one was Doralee. I started off easy. So... uh... yay to Oddness2her.

Tracey!!!

You know, originally, I was thinking River, but how obvious would that have been? I think it was the 'frozen rock' part that twigged me.

I've got one (or two really) to throw in here.

Two haikus, both spoken by the same character:

As long as we're stuck,
I might as well have some fun
with this local girl.

Why ain't we flyin'?
I may be a genius, but
right couple's broke, Cap.

Who am I?

That's Bester.

Right fool, that 'un.

Lesseee... I'm bored enough...

Listen with your ears,
not with your eyes.
I'll tell you what you want to hear,
above the other cries.

I'll flash my wares and spruik my voice,
to temp the likes of you.
A coin or two, fair prices made,
and you can join my crew.

Don't matter what your tales,
or the places where you've been.
As long as you can pay your way,
your history is clean.

Bester, right, you got it.
This one's tricky, I'll have to think about it awhile.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm trying to think of who has a crew. Mal has a crew. That guy in Serenity who called Book "grandpa" had or was looking for a crew. Some of the pirates ie Out of Gas and The Message. Patience had some people with her. Um, someone who shouts? Shouts for a crew?

Yeah, the guy who was "barking" for Brutus (best ship in the 'verse, my eye!)! It could be him!
