Hmmmm.

Does anybody know how to make tomato sauce without using tomatoes?

[footsteps]

Oh hey, what---

[SMACK. (Schuldig just got punched in the face.)]

OW! Son of a bitch! I said I was sorry!

What, do you come from some kind of post-apocalyptic dystopia, or something?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Post-apocalyptic? I guess you could put it like that.

People ain't lived on the Earth That Was for ... well, a very long time.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

That's creepy, I won't lie to you.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Creepy? How do you reckon?

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

I still live on regular Earth. Hearing it called the 'Earth That Was' is slightly weird.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Never thought of it like that.

[laugh] Can't say hearin' people talk about livin' on Earth ain't a little weird on my end. Pretty much all we got left of it are myths.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Well then where do you live? Mars?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Mars?

Nope, I live on a ship. Serenity. Ain't made any planet a home since I left for flight school.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

...Do you ever fight aliens?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

[laugh] Can't say I have. Humans, as far as we've seen, are all alone in the 'verse.

Unless Reevers count, but you don't fight Reevers.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Oh, I bet they count. What's a Reever?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Men who stopped being men when they saw the vast nothingness of the universe and went insane.

Or so they say.

No one lives once they've seen a Reever.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Holy shit.

I want to see one.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Trust me, you don't.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Well then, here's hoping they never show up here.
