they'd all wonder who the new, super sexy guy is, and everyone would thrown themselves at me.

What a great thread! Thanks for thinking of it River!

Mal and I would piss each other off, because like Zoe and Inara I'd tell him what I really thought of it when he starts sliding into the shadow. But then, I'm also loyal, and I'd be the one who trades things for the spices and herbs etc. to make that protein crap taste glorious, and I'd be making beer and other delights, and you know the way to a captain's heart. Loyalty and grub.

Zoe and I would invent lots of games with a bullseye, and have great fun with that, and she would raise the one eyebrow at the cap when I'd start in on him, but she'd mostly agree with me. Jayne would stop playing the target practice games with us because we would both Kick. His. (muscular)Butt. (I can shoot the center out of a dime from a very long ways away, without a scope.)

Wash? Dino stories! Also the shared pacifism would work well for us. He would teach me to fly, and we'd horse around with the physics like the Crazy Ivan and the Barnswallow, cause I love that stuff, and I'm not too scared to do it.

Jayne would like getting drunk with me, and come to me for advice about females. Other females. Or I'd get River to kick his butt. He would buy me presents in port and carry anything I wanted anywhere.

Simon would help with the cooking and the brewing of festive beverages, because he knows chemistry.

Kaylee and I would sit on the floor of the engine room and play cards and tell stories and drink whiskey and be best buds, and I'd always scrounge strawberries for her.

Inara and I would trade massage (don't get any ideas) and talk lit. and music and art. Kaylee, River and sometimes Zoe would join us for manicure night.

Book and I would argue religion (but never belief) into the middle of the night, and again with the whiskey (and I don't even drink much). Sometimes Jayne would join us. We'd also go sing in the corners and the lounge and cargo bay to play with the acoustics, and Jayne would play the containers, and River would play the handrails and the gratings.

River and I would sit together and tell stories and play games without moving our mouths.

Serenity would like me too, cause I like things neat and clean, and I'd hear it when she keens and go help Kaylee.

And then of course there'd be those times, like there are even in places without such close quarters to make tempers flare, when we'd still love each other, but we wouldn't like each other very much. I'd do just fine with all of them. Now I really want to go!

Oh, I don't think I'd go well on Serenity. Hate to say, but that's my take.

Mal - other than having very little actual skill that would be of use to the man, I'm a good follower if I've got a good leader.

Zoe - same as Mal.

Wash - I would laugh at all of his jokes, but would probably sulk for a spell when he teased at me.

Jayne - would hate me. Other than a proficiency with firearms, he and I would have nothing in common. Plus, he seems not to like cerebral-types.

Kaylee - no problems. She wouldn't shine to me like some others, but at least it wouldn't like with Jayne. Heavens.

Inara - can't say I'd much approve of her vocation, but that don't seem to worry her none. I'd love to just talk to her; she seems mightily intelligent.

Book - would love this man. Being a theology/philosophy student myself, would have a ball. Plus, the firearms thing. But I do like a good mystery, and would probably pry a lot. On the other hand, he's good at turning that away.

Simon - it doesn't matter what he'd think of me, cause I would just hate him. As it is, he irks me just watching the show. To live with him in real life? Yikes.

River - long as she kept her brain to her own self, no probs. Can't say I like the notion of someone reading my thoughts. I'm completely uncomplicated; what you see is what you get, etc.

With my skills/abilities I'd either work for the Alliance or for the folks that sprung River from the Academy.

Wait a minute, what?
You'd work for either the empire or the revolutionaries?
I don't think that sentence means what I think it means.
Especially not to a theologian.
Please explain the inevitability of this dichotomy.

Hm... let's see. I'd probably get along just fine with everyone, but here's more descriptive. (By the way, I'm pretty shy, and pretty accepting.)

Mal-Mal wouldn't really be mean, but he wouldn't be too kind. He'd treat me normally. He may treat me a bit like he treats Kaylee, but he'd just be an OK friend.

Zoe-I'd just be one of the crew. She'd treat me like everyone else.

Wash- Wash'd like me like a little sister, because we'd joke around on the bridge. I'd laugh at all his jokes, and I'd tell some stupid jokes. :)

Jayne- He'd pretty much ignore me. I'm not a big fighter, and I'm not really gorgeous.

Inara- We'd be friends. Not close, but she'd like me well enough.

Kaylee- We'd be the best of friends. Very close, and we'd spend a lot of time there.

Simon- I'd occasionally help him around the infirmary. I'd have a huge crush, but not big enough so that I'd want to hurt Kaylee and Simon's relationship. On the contrary, I'd try and get them together.

River- We'd be definate friends. I'd be good at calming her down when she was "having a bad day." I'd play with her and Kaylee.

Book- I'd talk with him occasionally, but we wouldn't talk too often.

Wht would the crew think of me?

Mal: "That one's goin' out the airlock."
Zoe: "Yes, sir."

Nice posts everyone!

I forgot to add that I would spend a lot of time trying to earn Zoe and Mal's respect to the point where I would pretty much end up copying everything they did, and that would make them mad, but the fact that I can shoot guns very well will be the only reason why they don't dump me off at the nearest port.

I would also try to be extra positive, and chummy sounding around Kaylee, but she won't buy it, and will tell me so by giving me a "You should just be yourself" speech.

I would also try to be really nice to Jayne, and even put up with his never-ending teasing me sessions, but he would eventually hurt my feelings and I would have to ignore him, which would inspire him to tease me some more.

I would spend weeks trying to come up with funny jokes to make Wash laugh, hoping that he would see me as funny and clever, and I would have to cover up the fact that I have a crush on him, which might be the reason Zoe don't like me.

There, that's what I forgot to add. Thanks for taking an interest in my post everyone!!!

Well being that i'm really shy, it'd prolly go like this.

I'd be brought on like a passenger (like book, simon/river, that damned dobson) and keep mostly to myself. having a a thing for trying to rip people off (sometimes i'm pretty good at it), and i'd accidently help then out on a job. Being that i have a decent amount of experience shooting guns, i'd be helpful more and more. But i'd eventually get comfortable there, and start to talk more and more, prolly have a crush on inara(the unreachable girl), and end up fitting in(Once I open up, i can be funny like Wash, I can lead ALMOST like Mal(almost), I'm good with listening/advice on some stuff kinda like inara or book, and I was teased by people like Jayne my whole life, so it dont bother me none now)

Oh, and I forgot to add: or be a shepherd.

Here's why either Alliance, revolutionary or shepherd. What I'm good at is absorbing information, processing/analyzing/synthesizing that info, and turning it into a form that other people can benefit from. That's why I was an Intelligence Analyst for the military for 10 years. Seen the light of faith, got out of the Navy, and now I'm doing that.

So, depending on where in the 'verse I was born, Alliance, revolutionaries or shepherd. That may clarify. Or not. Either way.
