Inara's turn

River straightens in Inara's arms as Slight approaches.

Inara sits back, pulling her arms from around River and watching Slight warily. She focuses on River's face, waiting to see how the girl will react.

Inara catches Slight's eye as he approaches. Her dark eyes narrow, their usual soft shine gone, replaced with a hart glint.

"Deng yi miao*, If you harm her in ANY way, if you so much as muss her hair, you will come to fully understand the wrath of a woman...dong ma?"

Inara glares at him a moment longer, just to make sure her point is made. She turns her attention back to River.

"fang xin, mei mei, fang xin*...Shepherd Book and I are right here..he can't harm you one bit. Isn't that right, Mr. Helsing?

End Inara's turn

Deng yi miao--hold on a second
fang xin, mei mei--don't worry little sister

ahmmm...could we just pretend that Teela's post followed this one? :P

Thorne's move:

Mal heads for the engine room and Thorne is left alone in the common area. He suddenly feels the increased fear from River and Slight's agitation. Things could go bad real quick. He heads for the passenger area. He meets Zoe and Rowan and nods in passing. Wasn't that the girl he saw in the bar? Wonder how she got mixed up in this mess.

As he near's the Tam's room he sees Slight just entering, the Shepherd behind him, gun in hand.

"Shepherd, I don't think you'd want to use that. I believe that I can calm things down, if you'll let me by."

[Placing a hand on Book's shoulder, he gently moves him aside and walks into into the room beside Slight. River is cowering on her bed, with the Companion holding her protectively. Thorne thinks she looks concerned, angry and beautiful. No time for that now, though. He speaks to Inara.]

"Ma'am, I believe that this man wants to tell you about the time bomb that your friend may be carrying in her head. It would be wise to listen to him. and to River "Child, you are as dear to me as if you were my own, and I will not allow anyone to hurt you. You know my mind, and you know that what I say is true. Please don't be afraid." and to Slight "It's your play now, but go gentle. Between the Shepherd and I, one of us will surely end you if you so much as think about hurting this girl."

Thorne can feel Book's nod of agreement as he waits for Slight to talk.

EOM

Fixed. Thought Simon was still here.

OOC: Hey, guys, could I humbly request that Damon doesn't have a bullet near his liver artery? Cuz otherwise I can't have him do anything until Simon gets here and finishes fixing him...

Damon's turn:
Location: Infirmery

Damon moves carefully over to the sink and begins washing his bruised face. Whatever meds the doctor had given him while taking care of his leg were wearing off and he was beginning to feel the pain of his injuries return. Not to mention his head felt like it had been split in two thanks to Brink.
After drying his face on a nearby towl, he searches the cabnets until he finds a bottle of motrin (or the futuristic equivilant), he gives the lable a brief glance and swallows a couple pills. Then he picks up his bowl of food and finishes it.
"Ai ya, this stuff is good."
He wished he could have more, but walking all the way up to the common room didn't sound very appealing. In fact, sleep sounded better than any meal in the 'verse. But first, he was going to get these damn cuffs off his wrists.
He pulls out the loose change and pocketknife from the pockets of his old pants and puts them in his new ones. Then he grabs his bloody shirt and duffle bag and walks out into the small sitting area, looking for someone to talk to.

Update on current locations:

Thorne, Simon, Inara, River, Book and Brink are all in River's room (somehow they all fit, lol)

Mal is on route to the engine room.

Zoe, Kaylee and Rowan are on route to the cargo bay.

Damon is standing just outside the infirmery (probably wondering what the heck is going on down the hall)

Wash is on the bridge and Jayne is cleaning his guns in the common room.

Get everyone? Oh good! Keep flying all!

___________
River sees Thorne intervene. She looks away from Slight, and looks at Thorne.

He hurt them, he hurt them. Make it stop, make it stop!

She falls back onto the bed.

All for tonight! See you tomorrow!

Kaylee's Move
Location: Engine Room

Kaylee jerks up, hitting her head again, as Mal asks her about the engines.

"Ummm...they're fine, Cap'n. I mean, they will be, in a couple o' minutes. Got another thing or two ta see about, then we're shiny. Sorry I had ta cut the engines earlier, but things weren't goin' so good with Serenity. Got it taken care of, though. No problems."

Nervously, Kaylee smiles at Mal. She knows she's acting weird, but she just can't seem to help herself.

"We're good."

Mal's move:

Nervously, Kaylee smiles at Mal. She knows she's acting weird, but she just can't seem to help herself.

"We're good."

[It's impossible to stay mad at Kaylee, even when she's acting weird. She's like your little sister who's just so darn cute you forgive her anything.]

"All right, Niblet. You just let Wash know when we're ready to hit atmo. Might need to move pretty quick pretty soon.

[Calmed by Kaylee's mere presence, Mal heads for the bridge, to find out where in the wilderness Wash has landed them.]

Kaylee's Move

Kaylee blows some wisps of hair off her forehead as Mal heads back down the passageway.

"That was close," she thinks, absently tossing a wrench up and down. "Hope he doesn't ask anymore questions. Jus' let me get this fixed n' everythin'll be back ta normal...or near as normal as it e'er gets."

Taking some plating off the wall, Kaylee crawls into the innards of Serenity to work her magic.

OOC: Actually you would have been taken care of LONG ago but both you and (simon) were being moved around so much I could't get a work in edgewise without messing up someone else's move.

Simon's Move
Location: Infirmary

Simon comes in on Damon attempting to leave the infirmary and gently but firmly escorts him back inside. He is not long on words right now, far to much to think about and worried about River. But also distressed about having left a patient in need.

Simon:
Strip and get back on that table. I need to get at those injuries before you hurt yourself.

He turns his back and rummages in the cabinet to give his patient time to comply.

Damon:
It's OK, really. I took care of it myself. I just need some sleep.

Damon starts to leave again and again Simon stops him with a hand to the chest.

Simon:
You need considerably more than that, and you ARE going to stay here and get it. Now you have two choices. Strip and get down on that bed, or I dope you, place you on the bed and cut your clothes off. Choose.

Damon relaxes to the unavoidable and complys.

OOC: I am not up to going all the gory parts
but we can finally get the bullets out, make with the antiseptic bit, clean, bandage and leave him asleep in the infirmary.

Simon finishes and pulls up a chair next to the bed prepared for a long watch. Between the food, the drugs and the exercise only time will tell if any adverse reaction will occur and he stands watch over his patient. And worries about his sister.

OOC: There, I hope this old girl did Simon proud.
