Welcome, Rorschach!
That is a great story -thank you for sharing.
Not too long from now the welcoming committe will
be along with your honorary (virtual) Browncoat,

I think most of 'em have gone to bed at this hour,
but feel free to lurk about the place.
Again, Welcome.

Welcome home, Rorschach, you are #20945 in our very shiny family.

As has been said, most of us on this side of the globe are in our bunks by now, but I can't resist a new thread when it pops up just before I give up for the night.

Your story is a great one, so touching. We're honored to have you share it with us. Please know that you're not alone here.

You'll probably be getting a virtual browncoat as soon as FollowMal gets word you're here.

I've got a great buffet going in the galley, so you might want to stop in there on your way to your bunk. Strawberries, rice wine, a Mudder's Milk fountain, brownies, the works.

Hang out with us when you can, and don't forget to spread the SereniFly word!

Welcome, Rorschach!
It's awesome you found something personal like that to cherish, although of course I wish it were something less tragic. All the best to you and your family!

Welcome RORSCHACH,

I agree. That is full well a great introduction

Hope everything is SHINY for your family (and especially for your little brother)hands RORS a whole packet of chewing gum. It's funny but rumaging through that stack of dvds and finding FireFly the most interesting has lead me to believe that in your case you were ment to be a browncoat most certain. Fireflyfan.net is a great place to be.

Enjoy the ship and her ever growing crew. Glad to have you on board.

Thanks for sharing your story Rorschach - it's very moving.

Just one of the many things I love about Joss - his ability to take fantastic situations (space ships, teenage vampires...) and put real people in them. It's so wonderful.

So, anyway - welcome and have a great time!!

Another convert! *evil laugh*

Welcome!

I can't say I've been in the same position as you but I admire Simon for the same reasons.
You should consider writing to Joss about your story, I don't know why but I get the feeling a writer would find it gratifying to have connected so well to someone in your position.

... or do you just take a lot of ink blot tests?

Wow...quite the story. Good thoughts to you and your brother. And hugs.

Welcome to our home, which is now your home, too. So, kick back, post when you've a mind to, and relax, you're among friends.

Rorschach, welcome aboard our shiny, happy boatload of Browncoats! I'm just part of the advance welcoming committee, FollowMal will be along presently to give you a very warm welcome and a very warm virtual "Browncoat".

FloralBunny has supplied the basic necessities of life, I see. Dig in!

*waves to FloralBunny* Hi, Bun! I've missed you! Found that cat, yet?

We love shiny new stories, and yours has made quite an impression on the lot of us. We smile through our tears of welcome, or is it, we cry through our smiles? Whatever, be welcome!

Ahoy, "radar" rese,
ShipsCat hasn't been seen in some time. Someone (or something) is still eating the food, however. Need to find that kitty before she gets llama-trampled.

*Walks into the thread early in the mornin'....see's all the grand welcomes and lovely feast spread for Rorschach*

Ahh, I see the crew has turned out to welcome you to our shiny ship Rorschach, they are sweet and fun aren't they?

This is a wonderful home and we are a wonderful family... I hope you come to feel that as the rest of us have. This is my home... I'm happy you're here.

You need your gear... all Browncoats need their gear...

*hands Rorschach a browncoat, straight from the storeroom*

There, pull it on and let's see how it fits...looks mighty fine on ya..

Rorschach, I have three younger brothers who upon occasion were a trial to me and are the joys of my life ( my older brother is my rock, I suspect that is what you are to your brother.) I am so glad your brother has you.

Share the 'verse with folks, take part in our Summer of Serenity ( you can read all about it in the Browncoat Event Forum on the right of the front page of FFF.net)if you've a mind to and talk often, we love to yack. And we're always here for you.

Gotta go, been gone for 2 days and I've got to catch up inventory and go thru my work orders ( thank you RadarRese for being the best storeroom assistant the 'verse has ever known!) and just enjoy the ship.

*Leaves, whistling, looking for the morning coffee and wondering what DID happen to ShipsCat!*

*Waves to Chindi and Bun*

Mornin' ladies!

Welcome to the board! Make yourself at home

Simon's one of my favourite characters too. Partly for the reasons you mentioned and partly because I think he's a cutie. Must be the Kaylee in me.

Speaking of Kaylee, I welcome you with strawberries and chocolate flavoured moulded protien fake-cake. And would you believe I ~still~ have some green dyed mudder's milk left over from our St. Patrick's day shindig? I just don't understand why people ain't drinkin' the stuff ...

Psychology is 10 times less cool than the character Rorschach from Watchmen. You should give up reading Freud and start reading Alan Moore.

...or, you could keep studying psychology, and just start wearing ink blot masks. All white with a symetric black smudge where the face should be. That would own all the ass that there is to be owned.

Welcome aboard, head's all the way aft, but I wouldn't go in there for another half an hour. Agatsu's been having stomach cramps sumptin' horrible.

ROFL, Agatsu!
This ship may be a rust-bucket but our genius mechanic keeps the life-support running with great efficiency.
That includes the air-processors.
Have no fear of going aft, people.
It's all good.

Welcome to the board. Glad you found the 'verse of Firefly. I'm a relatively newcomer here as well, but everyone here is friendly and you'll learn a lot about the characters, the show, the smartest, wisest, most overlooked, most humble creator of Firefly, Joss Whedon.

Keep spreading the word, we mean to misbehave and bring back Firefly.

It has a name; I call it Vera.

Silly rabbits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pfffft!
If that's directed at me, it's time to repeat my "naming" story.

Lurked here off/on for years.

One night, lured beyond any hope of stopping myself, I tried to sign up in order to post a caption.

I had never seen anyone post as FloralBonnet, but someone must have signed up for it and then gone away, because I was (*sobs*) rejected!!!

Unable to think quickly of a clever name to be stuck with forever, I changed "Bonnet" to "Bunny" and posted my brilliant caption.

Which lost.

So there you are. The tale of woe, entire.

:-) :-) :-) :-)
