[grease smudges over the page 'cause Wash has been working on Serenity; written]

This is better'n what I been snackin' on all day. Thanks for bringin' food up to us, Bobby. [scribbled :) ]

Hey, Kaylee; we should patch up the Mule and make some kitchen runs when the snow clears up~

Er, if the rest of the residents don't mind none, that is. Hope not, I ain't too keen on returnin' to a diet of protein packets.

[filter; private]

[still written, more slowly]

Sure is different sleepin' in our bed without her.

... Harder.

All her clothes are here, an' everything. Her soap and her brushes...

... Zoe ...

Hey, Wash right? No problem. Thanks for letting me come see your awesome spaceship.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

You should see her when she flies. [scribbled smiley]

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Man, I wish I could.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Have some faith, we'll get her up an' running in just a few more days, count on it. We got Kaylee here, after all. ♥

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Gotta point there. I definitely have faith in Kaylee. She tried to tell me all about the ship before, but I probably didn't get it as well as I should have.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

[laugh] Not at all; hell, even the cap'n don't always get what she's sayin', once she starts. She's a special girl. ♥

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Glad I'm not alone. [laugh] But yeah, she sure is.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

[scribbled smiley] So how'd you meet her~?

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Ah, she went right out and said hello when I first got here. Over these journals, I mean.

Then I took her ice skating. [scribbled :D]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Sounds like her. [laugh]

Ice skating?

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was a relief, though, since most other people got mad at me for some reason.

Yep! I made a rink right outside. I'm a cryokinetic.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Did they? [doodled frowny face that's mostly smudged with grease] What for?

... A what?

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [laugh] Well one person just didn't like my "element" I guess. The other, well, that's a long story.

Oh, sorry. I manipulate cold. So I made the ice myself. There's... probably not an easier way to say that, is there.

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

...

[wide grease smudge where he left his hand on the page while trying to figure out just what that means, yo]

What, sorry?

{ooc: x'D watch Wash's brain break, plz.}

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

[mumbling of the '..ohh boy..' variety x'D]


Well uh. I'm a mutant, so I... I don't know how to explain this. In my world, when you've got this certain gene, you get an ability. And mine's making ice.


[ooc: I lol'd. XDD How many times have they had to explain mutants?]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

...

[distinct pause]

Well, guess that ain't the weirdest thing I've heard since wakin' up here... Pretty close though, I reckon.


{ooc: XDD Bahaha, I win! Pyro has only had to explain it maybe three times total.}

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

Ahh, really?

Well so long as you aren't actually coming at me with a pitchfork over it, I think that's not so bad.


[ooc: .... D: *pimpslap*]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

[laugh] You got nothin' to worry about, I don't plan on pitchforkin' anyone.


{ooc: X9 *ENJOYS.*}

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. [scribbled :D]


[ooc: D8 *GASP*]

[sunshinymech.livejournal.com]

Hey! [laughing] I use Cap'n dummy speak too ... when he tells me to ...

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

You have a pack animal? Is it your pet? I have a fish. He is Insane.

Protein packets?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. [laughs] It's what we call our off-road vehicle. ... Your fish is insane?

Yep. They're- ah, food supplements. Most people'n our world couldn't afford real food, so we lived off'a protein packets.

They're good for the body, not so much for the taste buds.

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

I don't understand. I've never heard of that.

Yes. He is Insane. Pyro helped me come up with the name.

Like liquid chemicals. Your people must be very poor, then.

Then, you're the one that must do the cooking if you're asking.

[ooc: XD; Nine told Nataku to only ask three questions at a time, so now it is having problems and has to make some statements that will hopefully prompt more answers.]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

That's alright, not many people have. Our world is different'n most here, I think. A lot of folk lived on the Earth-that-Was.

Well, if the fella's name is Pyro... [laugh] Well, at least it's interestin'.

We ain't that poor, Real Food just costs a lot.

Nope! I'm the pilot. Sheppard does most'a the cooking, but sometimes the rest of us'll pitch in.


{ooc: XD! Poor Nataku.}

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

Your Earth was destroyed by earthquakes?[gone].

The name is interesting, so it is good.

More than you have, so you are poor.

You pilot the Mule. And Sheppard tends to your animals. You have animals on board, then.

[ooc: I think this is actually painful for it. XD]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Don't much know, to be honest. Most've what we hear 'bout the Earth-that-Was is just plain myth, now.

Sure! My name is pretty interestin', too, I've been told.

Well, we certainly ain't rich.

I pilot the ship~ the Mule is just for when we're grounded. And "Sheppard" is only a title, he's actually a priest.

... We have been known to charter livestock on occasion, though. [laugh]


{ooc: X'D At least we're not stuck singing the song that never ends...}

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

Your Earth is a myth.

I don't know about interesting names. So your name must be interesting.

So, you're poor.

Ships float in the ocean. I don't understand that title.

...

[ooc: Nataku is almost tempted to show up at Serenity's door, ask three questions only to come back in an hour to ask more. XDD]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Mostly, yeah.

Oh? It's Wash. What's your name?

[laugh] Guess we are.

She's a Space Ship. Floats in space.


{ooc: XDD Wash has already been broken in by River, he'll probably just be like, ":3 Nice kid." and go about his business.}

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

Mostly. Not really. I don't understand.

Nataku or Natto -- either name works because I have no preference or attachment to them.

^^

Ships are inanimate objects, they have no gender. It is a rocket ship.

[ooc: XD Yay for being considered 'nice.' Pyro is still glorified for picking out the name of the fish. XD;]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

The Earth-that-Was surely existed, but it was so long ago that no one really remembers it. So they take to tellin' stories, and that's how the myths are born.

Well, it's nice to meet you, Nataku- or Natto.

[laugh] Don't let Kaylee hear you talkin' like that. But she's it's not a rocket ship; it's a Firefly.


{ooc: X'D HE IS SO SMUG ABOUT THAT IN BOBBY'S GENERAL DIRECTION THAT IT HURTS. ♥}

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

I never heard of that process.

Nice to meet you, too, Wash.

I do not know a Kaylee. I do not know why I shouldn't let her hear me talking like that. But, bugs do not fly in space.

And, you should ignore him. [arrow to Bobby]

[ooc: Like how Nataku is hurting right now for lack of questions. And now for more lulz.]

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

[1/2]

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

[fragmentedangel.livejournal.com]

[ooc: His hmph, ignoring! XDD;]

[freezetagging.livejournal.com]

...


[transcribed sigh]


[ooc: XD; Bobby's like "Um, okay."]

[sunshinymech.livejournal.com]

[recorded; page all full of lovely smudges and spark burn holes cos it's propped up somewhere in the engine room XD]

I was thinkin' on doin' that today. Fixin' up the mule so's when the snow's all cleared we just gotta hitch up the trailer an' head on out.

Don't think no one'd mind. Plenty of food.

How's your fixin' goin' up front? I just don't get it ... Serenity's all jumbled up back here ...

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Ain't got very far to go, but it's just gonna be nice ridin' in her again. It's hard bein' landlocked for so long, even if you can see the sky.

Ain't it? I'm gon' have to start exercising, soon, if I don't want to get any bigger 'round.

Up here too! Looks like someone did a number on her bridge. I think it might be takin' me another day or two to get her working... at the least.


{ooc: x'D That's what I figured, too~ And yeah, it should be, according to the event post.

;3; I figured he wouldn't do that publicly.}

[sunshinymech.livejournal.com]

Don't matter none. We could just ride 'round the castle or to the town an' such for fun. Oh it's real hard. Been here since March. Last time I was all landlocked this long I was still livin' with my folks!



But why'd someone wanna go doin' this 'fore she got brought here? It just don't make no sense. I ain't even looked at the jets yet, or the shuttles cos in here's so bad.

[true-superboy.livejournal.com]

Is that your ship outside the castle?

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Well, she belongs to the captain but I'm her pilot.


{ooc: X'D You're everywhere, SB-Prime!}

[true-superboy.livejournal.com]

Great. Does your ship have any maps on it?

[ooc: He's SUPERfast. So of course~! XD]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

Hm? She might. Most've the bridge is in trouble, but I'll try to fix her nav system. Want me to call 'ya when I've got it running?


{ooc: X'D I'M JEALOUS.}

[true-superboy.livejournal.com]

Yes. Immediately after you get it fixed.

[ooc: D: But he doesn't have a cool flying ship.]

[callmewash.livejournal.com]

[laugh] Sure thing. Could take a day or two, though, it's messed up somethin' fierce.


{ooc: >:D YES THAT IS TRUE.}
