Through much breakrunning and taxihopping, 13 has made his way back into uptown (?), convinced he has avoided the police.

"Disguise, need a disguise...excuse me, ma'am? Could I borrow your makeup, please? I'm in a hurry, and..."

The woman strides away, looking properly indignant. 13 grits his teeth, mutters, "Fine."

Ripping the purse from her, 13 is gone before she can even scream.

After painting himself up quite well, he goes back out into the street. Now he only needed new clothes...

A well-dressed woman, confined to a wheelchair, rolls past him. 13 moans as he realizes his only course of action, and proceeds to execute the immoral plan.

As Pain and Ertia begin a fine, cultured meal, an odd, short-haired young woman enters the restaurant by wheelchair, eyes darting back and forth. They come to rest on Ertia's face, and the woman's eyes narrow, then widen. She mutters a string of swearwords, beginning to leave, when the maitre'd says, "Miss, do you have a reservation?"

"Um, yes, I do, in fact. I'm here with..Donovan...Ri..char..ds?"

The man smiles at the scent of more money, and wheels 13 over to Pain and Ertia's table.

"My, dear sister Clementine," Pain says loudly, cracking his knuckles. "How wonderful for you to join us.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ertia whispers to the disguised 13, punching him none too lightly in the shoulder. "What's with the disguise?"

"I ran into some trouble downtown, had to ditch my clothes for something more Core-wear."

"And make yourself into a drag-queen?"

"Well, they've got a warrant, and they can't be able to recognize me! I was a little pressed for time!"

"13, get back on Serenity before I melt you down for engine parts!" Ertia growls.

"Can't do that, E. The docks'll be crawling with police. I'm giving it two, three hours before they're done not finding me."

"So you're saying that, on me and Pain's one chance to do something on the Core together, we get stuck with you?"

"Just pretend I'm not even here. Act normal."

"You expect us to act normal when you've got a city's worth of cops after you?"

"I'll only be around for three hours, then I'll head back to the ship!"

"Ain't soon enough, 13," Pain puts in. "You really like making good things bad, dontcha?" He sighs, and, out of curiousity, asks: "Where'd you get that wheelchair?"

"Some woman, I don't know," he waves his hand casually. "I'm not even here!"

well it was kinda hectic here.

*wolf walked into the infermary to check on his old friend wash.*

wolf" how are ya buddy?"

wash" hey dude, im ok"

*wolf notices a mass of gore walking in the door.*

*wolf goes to kick the vile beast in the face.*

62" NOOOO,NOOOOO i good gremlin! i goood gremlin now! chip that give me pain and aggresion gone! gone with genitals!"

*wolf takes pity on the beast when he see's the light in its teary eyes and promises to reconstruct him as a cyborg, it would be hard but if he got kaylee and fly, maybe 13 to help, it would be a big project. he would talk to the others later. he picked up the creature and put him down next to the drugged cat.*

Ertia groans and takes another sip of her chardonnay. The wine, though spectacular, has taken on a sour taste. "Why can't things ever go smooth?"

She meets Pain's eye with a frown, "I suppose we'd better eat and then take Clementine back to the ... house."

"And then shove him...err..her out the gorram airlock." Pain grumbles under his breath.

In the meantime, 13 has flagged the waiter, and poured himself a glass of the Chateaux DeVeroux, "Oh, sir, could you bring me the caviar over fresh spinach and the crab canapes? Oh, and a bottle of catsup!"

Ertia groans and buries her face in her hands.

"What house? You mean hote-oh." 13's anticipatory smile drops into a frown. "Waiter! Yes, some mashed potatoes laced with barbecue sauce would be spectacular, and do you carry Frosted Flakes?"

*raises hand* Ooh! Ooh! I wanna know!

*The waiter replies in an indignant tone*

Sorry ma'am we don't carry Frosted Flakes. Would the sir like another Gin & Tonic?

*Pain answered*

No thanks but I will take something with a lot more alcohol in it though.

*The waiter responded*

Very well sir. I'll bring your drink and the madam's mashed potatoes and barbecue sauce shortly.

*Pain nodded his head and said*

Thank you.

*Pain turned to 13 and said in a low growl*

You better not be expectin' me to pay for your gorram food.

"You really think I look like a drag-queen?"

Ertia moans, picking at her food. "For the last time, YES! It's like you took a paintbrush to yourself."

"You don't think that, do you Pain?" 13 turns to the man, crimson-lidded eye's fluttering.

"Ummm...you look...nice? The violet lipstick is kind of garish, but...hey, those mashed potatoes are here!"
