Oooh, Keeper of Secrets, eh?
Anything good? You can tell us, we won't blab. 
Good for you for having a social life, and glad to have you back. Now, get to work on the Mal costume!!

Well I wouldn't be a keeper of secrets if I gave them away would I?
Well its not like it affects you much, but lets just say I'm the Joey, and two of my friends are the Chandler and Monica
I'd like to get started on the Mal costume, but I've nowhere to start. I haven't got a browncoat, but now I think about it, in some of the movie images, Mal didn't wear a browncoat.. just had some of those horrible black braces - still a browncoat would cover up the fact that I haven't got a holster
Now, back to the story...
-----------
Whilst a pack of Kimmel Clones rampage against the members of Destiny’s crew that have grouped together to fight off this new foe, a small number of Kimmels march through the unconquered rooms of Destiny, seeking other lifeforms to unite with or destroy.
Kimmel 419 and Kimmel 1138 have been sent to a section that has often been frequented by the crewmembers but now apparently seemed empty.
The door to the infirmary was shut, but that wasn’t going to stop this pair of clones from gaining access. The pressure from the water that had completely filled the room however would.
419 looked intently through the round window of the door, but his vision was obscured by the darkness of the room. He could just make out a glimmer of light, no doubt a cracked opening in the ship’s wall.
“No one could survive in that” 419 said to 1138, before they passed on, towards another room
Meanwhile within the infirmary, a person had in fact survived, but was no longer his usual self…
Needy, swam away from the chair that he had only a few hours previous been strapped in for the safety of the other crewmembers.
Making his way to Dr Me’s cupboard, the one that is usually locked but at this time was left unlocked, he opened it to reveal a variety of gadgets.
He grabbed one of them – a funky snorkel of sorts, only smaller and not as goofy looking, and quickly puts is on, thus being able to breathe for the first time in one felt like a lifetime.
Next, he turned his attention to a gun, which resembled a harpoon gun, only being another of Me’s marvellous inventions, it wasn’t what you’d expect. Taking aim, he fired the weapon at the cracked wall from which the water poured in. As the thick arrow hits the metal above the opening, a canvas shoots out from the back of the arrow, which forms a large patch over the crack.
Perfect shot Needy thinks to himself.
Next he grabs the large heavy silver brief case that lays flat at the bottom of the cupboard, and drags it along the floor of Destiny as he swims towards the door.
Before he does anything stupid like opening the door however, he needs to drain the water. Punching a few keys into the panel near the door (which is fortunately water-proof, protecting it for just these types of situations), a panel opens and, however illogical it may sound, drains the liquid from the room and forces it back outside of the ship.
"Now that’s impressive" Needy declares, marvelling at the ingenious design and features of the ship.
However, in all the excitement, he only now takes a moment to realise a blaringly obvious fact… the infirmary door is much larger than he remembered
But it wasn’t the ship’s fault.
Somehow, the organism that had gestated in his body, the bits of human flesh he had taken into his system, the endless marshmallows and the liquid that filled the room that wasn’t normal water had combined and left an incredible side-effect on the boy whore...
Needy was the person he always had been… only now, 1/3 of his normal size
Talk about shrinkage!
"Noooooooooo" screamed the Mini-Needy

Oooh, interesting! Mini-Needy. We'll have to find a way to unshrink you. (Hey, Willy Wonka can do it!)
PsychicRiver, my dear, I've had a bit of an idea. We need a River, your sister has a River outfit, but she's not a member of the crew. SO my idea is thus-can you set her up with an account at the UB and then we can get Soul to make her a member of the crew (we have to bump somebody but there are about 20 people who have never contributed so that shouldn't be hard) and then we won't be cheating and we can make her an honorary crew member. Even if she never contributes again. Who cares? No one else does.
What do you say? I ran the same idea by Soul and am waiting to hear back from him.

Ok...lets see... Peril at hand...
Many Kimmel clones running around,
Destiny still under water but at least atthe surface thanks to inflatable floation devices,
No power,
And an evil computer system.
Where to start... Well at least we found Jack and Needy's back but Smurf sized..
Ok, I'm knackered.
Ooo a little self promotion, I made a couple of Firefly based songs. Check 'em out in my BSR stuff. Please?

Any suggestions on what I need to find for a Mal costume? I haven't anything that resembles such a beast. Like anyone's going to let ME have a gun.
I think the key would be the suspendered pants and darkly bold button up shirt with rolled up sleeves.
Mmmm... Might have to shave my beard for this one.

Well, the first line of defense is the local thrift store (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc). All kinds of costumy goodness for really cheap. That's how my sister put together he Kaylee costume--the day of the opening!
Secondly, some brown ribbon or hem tape down the sides of your trousers would help (pin it if you don't want to permanently have Mal pants). That will only cost you a couple bucks at a craft or sewing store (JoAnn's, Michael's, Beverly's, etc). Heck you could even fake the suspenders with more ribbon. You're right that the brown coat's the hardest part. Ask all your friends now while you assemble the rest of the costume, maybe somebody will have something. For a photograph you could use a cloth cloat from the thrift store, 'cause the non-leather won't necessarily show up depending on lighting :-)
Anyone else need help? I love costuming. I think getting Psychic River's sister in would be awesome. Though everyone should submit even if we double up (points for every submission!) we get extra if we represent the whole crew, but I don't want anyone to feel left out. I have River hair, but I can't think of any flowy little dresses...I'll have to give that some thought as a back up. I do have a lot of ballet clothes and maybe some of them would work--wonder if my sister still has her combat boots...
Nice to have Destiny back together (I mean the crew members, I haven't forgotten the peril). It's been at least a few days since we've heard from some people :)
I'm going to the annual Civil War ball of my reenactment group this weekend. My boyfriend will wear my soldier's uniform (seriously). I definitely need to send you those long-promised pictures of the dress, Serenity! I should be able to get a few good ones this weekend.
So good luck with the peril, (someone please reply to this so I can open with the latest thread--thanks Needy, it was time!) I'll be back next week.

Cheers, Amy

Have fun Amy! We should give you a new title, something like "Costume Idea Guru", or "Queen of Fancy Garb" or maybe just "Chopstick Ninja"
Emphasis on the J, for John Cleese type accent.
And, yes, I am a Monty Python fan.

I don't have Kaylee-alls yet, but I can scrounge up a pair at a thrift store or army surplus. If I don't have to put a roof on a Habitat for Humanity house tomorrow, I'll have more time to hunt. But if we don't get the roof on the house, it'll seriously put the construction schedule behind because it won't go on till after Thanksgiving. Dilema.
Amy-have mucho fun at the ball, and I expect pictures!

The few surviving and conscious members of the crew meet back up in the common room, which they've managed to fortify against flooding and Kimmels. Dr. Me tends to the wounded. Flechette hands out hot beverages and scones.
"Okay, anyone got any ideas as to how to get us out of this mess? We don't have much time left before we run out of life support and we all get hypothermia and die, or the evil clones get back in and kill us all. Oh, and someone took all our weapons and ammo."

Or how about "Chopstick Ninja Queen o' Fancy Garb"? The best of both worlds. And the o' is just in for effect.
