DIRECTOR TEAM REQUEST
Okay, folks - We have all the character development information in, and now we come to the part where we figure out what to do with the rest of this episode, and where the miniseries is going to go.
While Ms. Co-Director and I work that out, we're asking everyone to hold off on posting to the RP thread until we're finished.
It should only be about a week. I know it seems like a long time, but figure that we're doing this around our day jobs and we have 13-15 characters who already have stories in progress to incorporate here. As soon as we are finished, we will post here and in the OOC. The second. The instant. We promise.
Among the things you can expect are a rough story outline (don't wanna give away too many secrets 
), a more standardized post format for ease of reading, regular director posts (to nudge the story back if it jumps too far off the track), and a description of what we're doing/how the director thing will work.
In the meantime, we'll still be about online. We're not disappearing off into a dark corner somewhere.... at least, not without you... we may need a snack...

Not really a move, Frau D. "Excuse me while I have a brief interlude."
River and Thorne stand side by side in the cargo bay, waiting for the others to arrive. River idly gazes around at those things only she can see. Thorne clasps his hands behind his back, glances towards her, then away.
Slowly, he begins to rock back and forth on his toes and heels. Looking straight ahead, he gently starts to sing. "All around the mulberry bush..." A faster tempo now, and a bit louder, "The monkey chased the weasel..." The rocking gets quicker, the tune louder and more frenzied. "Monkey thought it all in fun..." With an explosive clap of his hands he leaps straight into the air! "POP!, goes the weasel!"
Landing at perfect attention, he turns and gravely faces River, who stares at him in concern. With slow dignity, he raises his right thumb to the tip of his nose, and solemnly, deliberately, wiggles his fingers at her.
River smiles, for only a moment, with the simple joy of a child. Thorne's heart melts like a snowflake in a plasma arc. This strange girl. How can she mean so much to him? He realizes he would gladly give his life for her's; do anything to protect her from hurt. Just for that smile, just for her approval. "Is this what it's like to have a daughter?" he thinks. "I could never have one that suits me more."
Flooded with this new awareness, he beams lovingly at her. Sensing his longing for such a bond between them, she, smiling, accepts it. They stand face to face in the cargo bay for a long time, grinning like loons.

OOC, but I needed to comment.
Very funny and sweet, Geezer! I enjoyed it very much. Course, I should be playing her, but I'm lenient. Makes me feel loved, even though it's for River.

Raven, I agree that Geezer's "brief interlude" () was lovely... but it's not the end of the act, sweets. We're still working, I promise. And you'll hear from us soon.

Sorry to puppet you, Teela. I really didn't mean to put my hand there.

No, no you did fine. The story is getting complicated, so I'm having trouble playing River.

River, after Thorne's lovely performance, takes her hand, raises it up to her face, and wiggles her fingers at him. A round of laughter from both ensues.
