(this has been so fun, you guys are excellent! If you want to keep it going.....I have lots o' meetings today and work tonight but tomorrow night I'll be free to play)

*She wakes up from a long restfull sleep*
*Graps some coffee from the Galley someone made*
*Walks from the Galley down to the Common Area*
*Sees ships cat, picks up cat, lounges and waits for others*

We haven't named you yet Kitty

*seems from Rocket's last message from yesterday, our plans are to head to New Hall*
*looks like we have a couple of days r&r*

*sips coffee and relaxes reflecting what happened*
*Glad everyone is OK*

*wakes up in infirmary...and for the life of him can't remember what happened after sitting in the galley*

*checks his leg - the foam bandage the doc put on is holding, so he decides to relax a bit and take advantage of the sickbay's comfy bed*

*reaches into his shirt pocket hanging over the chair beside him and pulls out a slightly bent cigar*

Will the doc mind if I smoke in his lab?

*answers himself in a pretty accurate imitation of Simon*

Ah...no of course not Jack. Just make it quick.

*returns to his own voice*

Thanks doc you're the Bees Knees.

*lights cigar, laces fingers behind his head, and smiles*

Ah...Life Aboard Serenity

*She hears sounds of movement in the Med Bay and heads in to see how Jack is doin'*

Jack, glad to see you're OK

Quite a day yesterday, if it weren't for Radar and his good arm with the tomato closing the doors, I don't know what would have happened

You OK?

*She moves in closer to inspect his leg*

*hands him a cup of coffee*

*takes cup of coffee*

Thanks Fly.

*tries to act tough*

No my leg don't hurt...I have a high tolerance to pain...

*flinches when Fly inspects his bandage*

Well...I have a medium tolerance to pain.

*takes a sip from his cup*

Radar saved our skins with his tomato toss...which reminds me...Pain should give him a few grenades if we ever get into another scrape like that.

Where are we headed?

Yea, I think Radar would be really handy with grenades.

Well, I saw a note that Rocket left.

*Hands Jack the note*

Looks like we some time off

**Now our next stop -- I asked the Cap'n -- is on New Hall, which isn't a problem, but after that we're shaping orbit for Persephone, which is altogether too close to the core to be carrying imprinted goods without a luxury tax receipt. Especially the way the Feds have cracked down since the Miranda riots.

So--we have four days, five at most to run this haul through our metabolisms. Towards this goal, I recommend using some of that olive oil on those lovely tomatoes -- there's vinegar already on the shelf, I checked -- and I'll bake some sourdough tomorrow, so that we can do a vinegar-and-oil sop to go with that quarter-wheel of white cheddar.

Alternatively, if someone could dummy up passible receipts for the load, we could take our time, and stretch this stuff out for weeks...**

I was thinking the same thing....Sameertia is great for that.

*Wonders how Pain is this mornin'*

And looks like I'll have to make some of those Italian tomatoes tonight.

Think I'll make them now and put the in the fridge for you guys.

The longer they sit the better.

*Looks at Jack and gives him a big smile*

Great job yesterday Jack!

*she leaves and heads for the galley*

RADAR


Radar crawls outta his bunk after realizing that he slept through dinner the night before. Shrugging to himself he moves into the cargo bay and takes post in his usual spot on the catwalk humming his usual tune

New Hall.... he breaks his melody to utter the phrase and then continues right on humming as if he never stopped. Kinda seems like he dosn't even notice he said it...

Hmmmph. G'mrninggh. Guh-mrrnnigngh..

(Sniffs air)

Coffee?

(pours cup, adds sugar, downs in one long gulp.)

Aaah! COFFEE! Good morning!

(I am not now, nor have I ever been, a morning person.)

Oh, saw my note, eh? Good thing we have Sameertia aboard; seems the stash I brought in yesterday was just one crate out of a dozen--no way we'll get through it all before Persephone, and despite New Hall being a newly opened colony, there's a chance they'll be able to offer us a decent price--but with all the Feds you find in a new port, we'll need the paper.

Did a little reading on the cortex last night--seems that NewHall (the gap between the words is optional) is kind of the Alliance's big success story for the border worlds; by accident no less. The terraforming process brought all sorts of rich ores close to the surface. Bad news for farming, they're barely sustaining, too much heavy metal in the soil, but they've got trading ignots up the kahoojis.

So the first crate is ours, but the rest might just be a payday.

Well, it's tomorrow's worry anyway--I'm going to start making up some sourdough.

No problem, you'd do it for me Jack, anytime bud!

Thanks!

Okay, I got the sourdough rising; I'm heading down to the engine room to help Kaylee recalibrate the gravity drive. Don't be surprised if you feel a littly shimmy or stutter in the deckplates; better that than pull ten gees uncompensated the next time we go to hard burn.

Thanks for lettin' folk know about what I've dredged up on NewHall, Fly, but it ain't necessary to read my note out loud to everybody; It's posted on the bulletin board for all to see.

Sorry to interupt.

*Sees JaynesBunkWoman*

Hey janynesbunkwoman!

Yea, the card game is ruined but not without giving my toilet duties to Pain first, ha....

Thanks for cleanin' that mess.

If you're here for dinner tonight, don't forget I made the Italian tomatoes.

And if it wouldn't bee too much trouble, could you save me some tomatoes, bread and cheese? And if there is any wine left, I'll take that too.

SHIPSCAT


*Looks accusingly at all the people as the ship lurches and spills the wonderful offering of cream.*

How rude! First there was petting and milk, and a nice piece of something-not-meat-but-oddly-tasty-anyway, and then cream. But now the cream is on the floor. The FLOOR! How long has it been since someone washed it?! And it ALMOST got on ME! I think I may have to go give that Kaylee girl a good talking to. Although, she DOES give me various tasty things and lots of petting. Well, maybe later, when I've finished this cream that's all over the floor.

*Daintily laps up the spilled cream*

*leans over to scratch the cat*

*gets up from table.*

Guess I'll have to change my clothes now since I got some coffee spilled on 'em.

*gives Jaynesbunkwoman a big hug*

Thank you, you're a dear friend

Tell Jayne I said "Hi"

*Walks out of galley towards her bunk*

Hey Jack!

*She goes in and closes the steel door. Opens it again and only one hand appears out and puts up the "Do not Disturb sign" on her door*

*limps quietly by Jaynesbunkwoman on his way toward the Cargo Bay*

Hey Fly!

(Location: Cargo Bay)

*once in the Cargo Bay, heads straight for the hover Mule*

*runs his hands over a dent in the rear right quarterpanel and puts his finger in a few of the bullet holes along her frame*

Why did those gorram fools on Whitefall have to pick on such a pretty old Mule?

*lifts his wounded leg up, as if to show it to the Mule*

They got me too sweetie, but we're too tough to die aren't we...yup too damn tough.

*runs his hands along the Mule's frame lovingly*

The doc fixed me up...now I'm here to fix you up. We're going to bang out that ugly dent and fill up these unsightly holes...and believe me sweetheart...you won't feel a thing.

*smiles around his cigar, gathers his tools, and begins preparing some plas-steel bonding compound to seal the holes*

*begins whistling the tune he heard from Radar*

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

*walks through galley and almost trips on the cat as it scampers between his legs*

*yells out*

Gorramit ya stupid cat ya almost made me fall!

*continues walking down stairs towards the laundry bin to wash his clothes*

(Location: Cargo Bay)

*finishes applying bonding around the last of the bullet holes on the hover Mule*

*talks lovingly to the Mule*

You're starting to look like your old self little lady. We'll let that bond set and then we'll sand it down and paint you up all pretty like.

...but first.

*lights a new cigar, grabs cane, and heads of slowly very slowly toward the galley*

...mmm tomatos.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.

FLORALBUNNY


*the Bun just loves these old Fireflies with all their nooks and crannies and other hiding places. Up here is a whole empty compartment! She has hacked and re-programmed the lock. Today she spends much of her time waiting until nobody is looking, then sneaking back and forth taking secret cargo from Shuttle 2 to the hidey place. Only Radar notices, but she gestures to indicate "shush" and he seems to understand. She hopes he does! The various bumps and rumbles which accompany the recalibration remind her that she needs to load up on bungee cords and plastic sheeting before she can put her plan into action.*

*pops into the galley and starts the tea kettle*

I wonder where everyone is?

Ah, well, I see there's 'maters in the fridge, oh boy they smell nice! Got a good start on supper this crew does....

*leaves with her tea to go to her bunk and clean up for supper, it's been a long day reorganizing the storeroom, Cap'n wanted it all shipshape.*
