Wash's Move:
WASH has been watching the interchange between the two newcomers, wondering which one will shoot first - ZOE or MAL - when BOOK manages to diffuse the situation for the moment.
"Gotta love a man who can stop a gunfight with stew..."
WASH starts when the RED-EYED MAN (SLIGHT) makes his pronouncement. Coming from RIVER, he might not have been surprised...
"Come to think of it, the man's got red eyes, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at him, either."
Aloud, he says:
"Hey, that'd be me!. Guess I'll just leave you kids to your fun and go find us a lonelier piece o' planet. Maybe a nice little spot in the middle of nowhere..."
He leaves his seat, goes to the bridge and sits down, fussing with his dials and switches. Once Serenity is back in the air and moving away from the approaching trouble, he checks his screens to find them a MUCH lonelier piece of nowhere, were they surely won't be bothered, or followed.
End Move.
OOC: I concur! Thanks, Maniac!

...I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me.

Mal's move:
[Things look to be getting out of control again, with these two hollering at each other, and Mal notices that River has been backing towards the door ever since she saw that blue glove.]
"Both of you bi zui just a second, dong ma? This is all interestin', but it don't answer my questions. Who's candy did you steal to get the Feds shootin' at you,[points at Damon] and why did you [points at Slight] make the pien doh juh juh tyaren decision to bring his shot-up carcass on board my ship? We can talk about your fancy-dress gloves later."
Mal's move, supplemental:
[Mal sees that River is still edging towards the door, and is starting to get that "I'm a crazy girl, yes indeed" look on her face. He glances at Inara, and , catching her eye, looks toward River. The Companion instantly picks up on River's fear and moves to try and comfort her.]

Slight merely shrugs off the captains question. "My ships is too small for me to fly it and doctor a man, all the while running from the feds. Bought it off a trader, claimed he found it just drifting along just recently. It is well equipped, though; whoever Early is, he knows how to make a good ship." Slight stares at the crews reaction. "What? I bought the ship, I didn't kill the man to get it."
Everyone Dies. Someone's carrying a bullet for you, doesn't even know it. The trick is, to die of old age before he finds you.

Edit: Just time shifting. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

OOC: If I understand this correctly, Brink's stare is causing Damon to bleed like in Ariel for a moment? If I interpreted wrong, someone holler.
Damon's turn:
Damon pulls his glare away and puts a hand to his forehead as a painful headache suddenly explodes his his head. He opens his eyes when he feels a small trickle of blood from his nose and fresh blood running from his arm wound.
"Ching-wah TSAO duh liou mahng..."
He grabs the hilt of his gun, but a man with two bowls of food steps in front of him before he pulls it out. The headache slowly starts to fade and the bleeding stops. Absently taking the bowl in his left hand, he keeps a threatening glare on Brink, torn between rage and fear. His hand stays glued to the hilt of his gun.
I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Slight realizes his mistake, and reverses his powers, before he kill a man and most likely himself in the process.

Mal's move:
[To Slight]" That'll do for now, but don't think I'm finished with you. Now, for the third time and last time, what's your story? Or do you expect that bowl of stew will heal you all by itself? And by the by, does either of you have a name? 'cause I sure ain't heard one yet."

Damon's turn continued:
Damon glances at the captain as he speaks to him, then quickly looks back to Brink. He speaks to the captain, but his hand doesn't leave the his gun and his eyes don't leave Brink.
"I'm not answering any questions until I know where the guay I am. For all I know you folks are keen to turn me in, if not it looks you're ready to kill me. So for the last time, where am I and who are you people?"
I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Slight suddenly realizes he still has the bottle of tequila handed to him earlier. "Well, I'm Brink Helsing, but most call me Slight," he answers, taking a long pull of the tequila.
