Plus our Latest Adventure ----
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19713&m=294988#294988
In which sister ship High Charity got kind of exploded, except for one crewmember who is limping her to Persephone; Ertia, Pain & Fly got drunk and in trouble; Fly discovered a map hidden in a 3-D design letter; HC's crew is looking for said Map; and River made 13 some shiny new legs.
We've got a mystery passenger in Alliance garb who Book vouches for, but is currently chained to Simon's chair.
And we're all outta food 'cept potatoes, protien and the occasional jalepeno..
NOW! On to the Adventure! Maybe, just maybe, we'll get to Persephone this time...

*After steadily arguing with Ari and 13 about the letter, the quiet shaman takes an impromptu tour of Serenity, cataloging (sp) each and every detail. Suddenly, a dark-haired, gimlet-eyed girl darts from a shadowy corner..*
DW: Sweet jumpin' crap, scared me! Sneaking around isn't safe around pilots, little girl!
*River makes no further motion, merely observing the new and strange DW, eyes piercing like daggers..*
DW: That's a little unsettling, but alright..*suddenly a strange sensation sweeps through his brain, a soft wave of nausea..The shaman/pirate stumbles back, gasping in shock. The feeling persists, until DW summons the will to block the sensation.*
DW: You're not the only one with mind-eyes, little girl. Watch yourself, or you might find yourself spied on...
*River begins to leave DW, but softly calls back..*
River: She wouldn't recommend lurking into people's thoughts, Rikun. She is displeased over your action..
DW: Not an entirely intact Reader...

*13 is reprising his role as the dark brooder, pondering over the contents of Ari's 'letter' and who might have stolen it. Perhaps it contained some sort of communicae as to the purpose of the android..*
(maybe not though. maybe it was something different, something else they didn't want you to see...)
hmmm...I'm going to have to agree with the scary voice on this one (yes, the 'SCARY VOICE' has returned, for more drinking games and Easter parties)...
*13 begins to tick off the people who could have taken the letter*
Mal, no, hates me anyway..Zoe is indifferent..Wash respects my privacy...Jayne can't read...
*Suddenly he comes to a startling conclusion. The only reason a person would take a sealed letter was out of curiousity, and who was more curious than....*
GRIMJACK!!! Oh, whoops...heh. *But Fly was even curiouser than Jack...(Curiouser? Is that a word?) Perhaps a brief questioning is in order, along with a sidedish of chaos..*
(come on everybodies sick of that damn sig..)
Be quiet.
I think a little chaos is in order.

From behind him, DW hears the soft click of a pistol's safety. JR has been following DW for about 10 minutes. "Shaman, best you turn around real slow like, dong ma? Now, why you checking out my boat?"
Everyone dies alone.

*Pain wakes up and sees that him and Fly are the only ones in the galley. Fly is still sleeping as Pain gets up and heads for his bunk. He enters his bunk and sits on his bed, he puts on his boots and heads back to the galley with his gun cleaning kit in hand. Pain enters the galley, sits next to Fly, and quietly starts to field strip his H&K Mark 23 .45 pistol, unaware of what's happening elsewhere on Serenity.*

*DW grins shakily as he faces JRC, blue eyes gleaming*
Ain't no r-r-r-reason, feller. Just took a likin to the ship'sall.
*JRC's hard eyes do not soften, and do not waver. The gun is now aimed between DW's eyes.*
JR, with a soft, deadly voice: What.Are.You.Doing.
DW: Seems we've got a thief on this ship. *JR laughs at this, considering every person on the ship is a thief* Ari had a letter when he got on, an now it's missing. I's looking around when your little crazy-girl snuck up and spouted drivel.
JR: Why exactly did you threaten her?
DW: Guaha? Gu-what? Threaten? Ain't no threatning, JR, honest, I just been..*A loud shot rings out, and the air is sharp with cordite. A shell falls to the floor, and the floor beside DW's foot is pierced with a slug.*
JR: I've had just enough of you squatters, specially that creepifying bot. Been trying to gather some tether, but I...am...truly..at the end of mine. You're pale, shaman-y ass is staying in the spare bunk or the next slug won't be a warning. *JR turns away as DW notices a dampness in his pants*

OoC Post: An Apology
I apologize with the utmost sincerity of commiting the act known widely as "thread-jacking." I've taken this thread down a strange, yet adventurous path, and although I'm sure you all enjoyed it, I can't help but feel guilty at trying to take control, what with the robot and High Charity and Zenith and the map side-story (A shout-out to Fly for that fantastic stereogram, by the way) and the enormous gunfight.
So, in short, the character 13 will become a permanent member of the crew, and after this whole DW business is wrapped up, I'll spend some time writing fanfics, not controlling threads.
Once again, I'm sorry.
But I still think a little chaos is in order.

*13 nearly careens into the floor when he see's that Fly is sleeping.*
Dammit! I need that letter...maybe if I just nudge her..
*Sadly, the young bot does not know his strength, and the soft nudge becomes a rough push, sending Fly to the grated (aaaieee!) floor.
Fly: (insert whatever swearwords you want, Chinese or otherwise.)

*Pain had heard the gunshot as he put his gun back together. He noticed Fly was still sleeping as he ran to the cargo bay, not noticing that 13 entered the galley as he rounded a corner and ran down the stairs. Pain secures the silencer onto his gun and reaches DW just as JR disappears from view. Pain asks DW as he levels the gun to DW's chest*
What in the gorram hell happened?
*Pain smells the scent of urine as he looks down to see that DW has soiled himself and also sees that a pool of blood is forming around one of DW's feet. DW looks at the menacing gun pointing at him, with the silencer only a few inches away from his face, and says with a hint of fear*
He...he..he just s-s-shot me. All I did was take a tour of the ship. I didn't mean any harm honest.
*Pain lowers the H&K pistol slightly and says to DW*
Yeah well I'm sure that ain't the whole truth. Now let's get you to the infirmary and get that foot looked at.
*Pain watches as DW turns towards the infirmary and presses the cool metal of the silencer to the back of DW's head and says*
Don't try anything stupid or you'll get shot somewhere a lot more vital than your foot. Dong ma?
*DW shakes his head "yes" as they head the short distance to the infirmary, Pain calmly walking behind DW, with his finger slightly off the trigger ready for DW to try something stupid.*
