His concern deepens as he sees the trickle of blood from her nose but, is still determined not to turn on Inara's trust (thinking to himself he has let these people down once to often as is).

ooh-hoo... I can't wait to find out what happens if Mal finds out!

-Thorne’s still waiting at the Hara Cary-

On the bar, covering nine empty martini glasses arranged in a square, sits a complicated geodesic dome constructed of toothpicks, olives, and cocktail onions. Thorne stands nearby, facing the room, swaying slightly. In his right hand is a large crockery Buddha, a straw protruding from its navel.

Thorne is singing, in a surprisingly good voice, “Vesti la giubba” from Pagliacci.

“…Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul taro amore infranto!
Ridi del duol
che t'avvelena il cor!”

As Thorne finishes the aria and sips from the Buddha’s straw, a local music critic hurls an empty shot glass at his head. Absent-mindedly plucking it from the air inches from his face, he gently sets it on top of the dome like a beacon, and tries to sit down on his barstool, which is three feet away.

Falling to the floor, he winds up sitting, back against the bar. He continues sipping his Zombie, which he did not spill, and quietly hums the second cello part to Beethoven’s 6th. He’ll be in the same spot when the Serenity crewfolk finally come to find him.

EOM

OOC: Well, at least Serenity’s long trip to Hara is giving me some time for character development. I’ll be on the road home until about 5:00pm EST.

OOC: Ciara & SerenitysSon - "You must be...the WIZARD!...the WIZARD??"

Kaylee's Move:

After having jeri-rigged a little something together, Kaylee proceeds to Inara's shuttle. Working in the heart of the console, she hears something behind her, but chooses to ignore it, as her scanner has started beeping wildly. After much searching in the innards, she comes up with a small vid-recorder.

"What the devil is this?" she wonders. "Can't be good, whatever it is..."

Taking a small screwdriver from her back pocket, she takes the casing off and starts to poke around the inside of the thing. Amidst much mumbling and poking, she manages to shut the thing off.

"Better tell the Cap'n 'bout this..."

Kaylee heads off to find Mal.

OOC:CASTING CALL!!! Exciting RP opportunity!!!A passenger, maybe bartering with Mal for transit to outer colony world of New Hikido. Passenger can be either male or female. Some character ideas might be Asian passenger that is either a gambler, jack of all trades, cook, or musician, etc.

OOC: Well, I think I'll give this a shot. I mentioned the passenger idea to Astriana and she was all for it. I've never done RP before, but I think I've got the gist of it. I like Humble's suggestions too.

Rowan - Asian woman who knows a little bit about just about everything. She's had nearly every interplanetary grunt job there is to have, which fuels her true obsession - professional nine ball. Naturally, like all passengers who come on board Serenity, she has a secret, and a good reason to stay on the move.

And a little longer approach to Hara is okay. I still have some catch up reading to do - provided I'm accepted into the game...so can I play too?

OOC: Well, yeah! Welcome, Channain! As far as I know, the only rule about coming into the game is that the only characters you can't play are those that are taken. I'll add you to the 'Guest Starring' cast list! Yay!

Welcome to our sandbox theater!

OOC: shiny! I'll be keeping my avatar for awhile - part of the whole idea of making Rowan Asian. At least until I find a picture (or draw one) that fits her.

Guess I better get better with my pinyin, huh? And on that note, Ciara, I have that link you gave me, but I think I need to make adjustments for the language difference. A bit of guidance would be appreciated.

..WASH's MOVE

After ten minutes go by, Wash hits the intercom again.

"Wash to Mal. Hera's gettin' no smaller in the starscape and I still don't know what you're wantin' me to say to any Alliance ships.. oboy."

He clicks off the intercom because his long-range scanners just picked up an Alliance scoutship on routine maneuvers. Wash knows if he's just now spotting them, it means they've known about Serenity for at least five minutes, provided their scanners are higher quality than a tweaked up Firefly, and those chances are good.

Wash forgets to breathe for a minute and looks hesitantly at the doodad which will tell him when an incoming transmission is pending. It's quiet at the moment but the seconds keep ticking by...

He tries to think up a story on his own, something he's been doing the past twenty minutes, and he feels like a little kid on a stage being told to sing an opera.

..END MOVE
