If you lived in the time of Firefly's verse and had a choice....where would you desire to live your life?

A) Within the Alliance core planets?
B) On one of the outer rim worlds?
C) Out in the black, taking jobs as they come?

Maybe a stupid question, but I'd like to know where people imagine themselves in this verse.
Personally, I'm such a wuss who neeeds his comforts & gadgets, I'd have to say within the Alliance Core.

How about somewhere between the totally restricted core and the totally wild outer rim? I like Persephone, myself.
Much as I adore the beautiful Serenity, I don't think I could live out all my days on a ship.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Outer Rim worlds. I'd be quite happy out there with minimal tech' as long as I could take a ride out into the black once in a while. Maybe have my own little cargo shuttle. Yeah, that'd be sweet.

I like Persephony...I'd like to hook up with that gal who gets out of her fancy servant-made dress in no time at all if a schoolboy winks at her.

Hmm. Persephone leaps to mind. Or Ariel. There's a certain appeal to making a difference and... embarrassingly large stacks of money! :) LOL. But living on our boat has its charm, too, of course.

I reckon my spoiled, Western lifestyle has me realize I probably wouldn't cut it without my current life luxuries. Which, paradoxically, is precisely why living on our boat appeals so to me! I look at our crew almost in envy (sans the negativity) for their ability to live on Love alone. And I look at them with great admiration, too. Knowing, and seeing, how every deck, dirty as it may be, brims with an atmosphere of true care and friendship, that alone makes you realize our crew is part of something very special. Oh yes, I want a part of that... without actually being a part of it? Does that make sense? To paraphrase a well-known saying: I want to eat my cookie without having it.

Sigh. Firefly confounds my heart. And that's a good thing.

I would be on one of the Core Planets. I enjoy the different cultures that melt into large cities. The festivals and the special events that are are a part of the large cities.

Good question.

I think I'd try to set up a democratic farming community on one of the outer planets. With enough weapons to keep the reevers and anyone that would mess with us at bay.

I would also try to save as many extict species from
The Earth that was and save them. We'd set up renewable energy production so life wouldn't be too brutal.
Of course the crew of Serenity would be welcome any time. Maybe Simon and River could stay with us.

Me? I'd be happy on a ship staying clear of the law and the Alliance answering to no one but myself.

If I had to be planet bound I would want to live on a rim planet. Somewhere nice and quiet. Nothing beats country living!
