If you (as in ANYONE OF YOU) are interested in working this out with me, tell me and we'll cook something up.

Pain climbed into the Front Hall from his bunk and closed his bunk's hatch. He wore a tan TG Freight tank top, olive drab cargo pants, and black combat boots. Attached to his right leg was a black tactical holster (which itself was attached to a belt of matching color) carrying a large .500 Magnum revolver. As he walked into the Galley he noticed that John, Doc, and Kaylee were playing a round of Tall Card.

Kaylee looked up, saw Pain, smiled and said "Hey Pain! Wanna play?"

Pain smiled at the mechanic and said "Sure if'n you guys and gals don't mind dealin' me in."

Eyeing the hammer warily, Jake hands Epiktetos' knives back. Wandering into the Gally to see if he can find something to eat, he notices a bunch of the crew sitting around the table playing cards.

"Whatch' all doin'?" He asks as he sidles up to the table.

You wanna talk, you need money, 'need someone killed — that one was a joke — you know the drill. Just..." Epiktetos slammed the screen off, effectively cutting the wave short, and plunked himself on his bunk. "Past has a way of catching up with you..." He began to juggle a dirk from one hand to the other. "A efficacious way to avoid it would be to ditch your message account..." He sheathed the knife and got up. "I need a snack," he thought as he progressed toward the dining area.

For those of you joinin our little game here are the fan accepted unofficial rules of tall card:
Long Pai (Dragon Cards) follows Draw Poker rules unless otherwise stated.
6 suits (Plum, Peach, Orange, Apple, Apricot, Banana) of 12 cards (72 cards).
Ranks:
1-8 spots, Ace can be high or low.
Face Cards: Tortoise, Unicorn, Phoenix, Dragon (The Ssu-ling "Heavenly Beasts" of Chinese myth)
In addition to the 72 regular rectangular cards there are 6 round cards called "Tall cards" one for each of the 6 suits.
The Dealer shuffles the regular cards and the player to the right of the Dealer shuffles the Tall cards.
The Tall card for that hand is revealed after everyone antes up. After the first round of betting, players can discard and draw up to 3 cards OR the face up Tall card can be claimed by a player instead of a discard/draw.
Claiming the Tall card allows the cards in one's hand, that are of the same suit as the Tall card, to become wild in rank. If the option goes around and the Tall is not claimed, the Dealer is forced to claim the Tall.
Another round of betting takes place and surviving players still in the game reveal their hands with the highest ranked hand taking the pot.
(One interesting thing to note is that "5 of a kind" is a possible hand in Long Pai, since there are more than 4 suits.)
________________________________________
If you use the above card deck (72 cards, etc.), the probabilities of receiving certain hands change, so the new hand rank for the above deck should be:
Royal Flush, 5 of a Kind, Straight Flush, Flush, 4 of a Kind, Full House, Straight, 3 of a Kind, Two Pair, One pair...(descending order)
Notice the only real changes from the normal poker rank is that it is much harder to receive a Flush, and the addition of 5 of a Kind.

"Ante up" John said to the gang. "Tall is Apple"

Once they were on their way to Persephone and the autopilot was set, Bella made her way to the galley as that was where everyone seemed to be gathered, judging by the noise coming from that direction.

When she arrived, most everyone seemed to be gathered around, playing cards. Interested, Bella watched but stayed out of the way, just in case she wasn't welcome for some reason.

"Cherry-flavored protein mush... Now that's just gross," Epiktetos mumbled as he ripped the can open and poured himself some.

"Chores? I guess I could do without 'em." He picked his bowl up, moved toward the table and took a seat. "Deal me some, would ya?" Muted footsteps echoed from the fore passage, and River shortly came along. "That's my chair," she said with a frown.

— "Oh is it?" Epiktetos didn't move one iota.

She cocked her head to the side and and beamed him an impish smile. "She's nice."

Epiktetos shot her a ireful glare. "D'you mind getting out of my head at once? We're closed for business, thank you," he said gruffly.

"You are cheating!" exclamed Paine.
"How can I be cheating, John is the one dealing." Doc argued back.
"You and he are in it together!"
"In it together? I haven't seen him in like 5 years, and we weren't exactly on friendly terms when we parted."

Bella had just been watching the game, but it was interesting and so were the people. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, and it reminded her of home, just for a moment. The thought about home reminded her that Tempe hadn't sent her a message in a little while. Maybe she should send her a wave, check up on her.

The thought got pushed back, though, as the hand ended, and Bella pulled herself back into the here and now.

*in a large room, several people were sitting around playing cards on a pile of crates.when a soldier burst in*

soldier" commander they need you on the bridge."

commander" thanks gibson, tell em ill be up in a mo'"

*the soldier looked hesitant*

soldier" its really quite important."

commander" really..."

*there was a crash and the soldier was being held off his feet in one hand and pushed agaisnt the wall by the commander*

commander" (almost growling) i don't like bad news, and i don't like beeing told what to do... ya know what i do to people who tell me to hurry?"

*the soldier was terrified, their were rumors about the commanders grip, but he mustered up his courage and tried not to think of the warm patch rapidly making it way down the inside of his legs*

soldier" what?"

*the commander dropped him and was suddenly amiable.*

commander" nothing! your only the messenger after all!"

*the officers around the makeshift table all laughed and shook their heads at the commanders show.*

commander" someone get this man some new trousers, and deal him in, it sounds like im needed elsewhere"

*he shrugged on his coat and started to make his way to the bridge. he didn't know how much longer they could hold out at this station, he tried his best to remain in good spirits, but it was starting to show. the alliance were too strong, the commander was worried...*

this is gonna be confusing when wolf shows up,(wolfe & wolf) im gonna have to start reading a lot more carefully

John walked into the cargo bay adn saw Zoe. She looked sad, like always. He could feel his mind mimic the hole she felt in her heart. He shed a tear. She was empty and broken, and no one was trying to fix her. A piece of Mr. Frye's wisdom passed through his mind. "Sometimes a thing gets broke and can't be fixed." He pushed this pessimism out of his head. He would help Zoe, she was the last piece to put in the puzzle and make Serenity whole again.

Bella hadn't really been doing anything for what seemed like a long time now, so she wandered down to the cargo bay, just looking for something to do. John was there; he was one of the few people she'd actually talk into the short time she'd been on the ship.

"Hey," she greeted him, but then she saw his face. "Is something wrong?"

Pain had meant to go the Cargo Bay when he left the Galley, but on his way he wound up heading to the shower room near the passenger dorms. He had decided to take a nice, long, relaxing shower to calm his nerves. Pain didn't know how long he was in the shower, but he knew he should get out before the captain yelled at him for using all the hot water.

Turning off the shower, Pain stepped out and grabbed a towel, drying himself off before putting on his clothes and gear. As he stepped out of the shower room, the fresh smelling Pain made his way to the Cargo Bay. Upon entering he saw Zoe, John, and the new girl named Bella. Not wanting to disturb them, Pain quietly made his way back to the Galley.

Pain sat down at the table in the Galley, having snatched a few packets of brown and red protein to snack on. He placed his feet on the table despite the fact that the captain didn't like it and proceeded to open the packet of red protein.

"Gorrammit open up you ruttin' hun dan!" yelled Pain as he struggled with the packet.

He was a strong man and had the muscles to prove it, but he always had problems with opening protein packets.

Pain grunted some more and said "Fine you want to play that way, then we'll play." Taking out his knife, he looked at the packet with a slightly psychotic grin and said "All right you stubborn little shiny packet of protein. Now you're goin' to get it."

As he was about to take the knife to the packet, Pain felt like he was being watched and turned his head towards the direction of the Engine Room.

Seeing John and Bella, Pain smiled and said as he still held the knife tightly in his hand "Oh hey you two didn't see you there." Putting the knife down, he continued "I.. um... was just havin' trouble openin' a protein packet." Waving at Bella, Pain smiled and said "My name's Pain by the by."

Pain's Bunk

Pain stood near his open weapons locker dressed in his usual gear and attire, but with a duster on. He stood there looking over his collection of knives, pistols, rifles, shotguns, and other weapons of mayhem.

As his eyes stopped at the shotguns, Pain scratched his chin and asked himself "What shotgun should I take? A sawed off, a pistol grip pump, or an automatic?" Sighing he continued "So many shotguns, so little time to choose."

After a few moments of pondering, Pain decided on one of his sawed offs, taking it out of his locker as well as a handful of shells, which he put in one of his duster's pockets.

Feeling the weight of the gun, Pain said "Sure do hope Jayne brings somethin' that'll hit a target at long range. A sawed off ain't exactly useful unless it's bein' used at close to medium range."

Putting the sawed off shotgun in the left leg holster designed for it, Pain made his way out of his bunk and towards the Cargo Bay, stopping in the Galley to pick up a snack.

The Cargo Bay doors were down and let in the smells of Eavesdown Docks. Pain breathed in deep, exhaled and said "Aww smells like chicken go-se and despair." He sniffed again, turned to Jayne, then said "Oh wait that's just you, Jayne."

"Ruttin' hell it is." answered Jayne, who then sniffed his armpits and continued "I took a gorram shower before we landed."

Pain smiled and said "In what? Chicken go-se or the septic system?"

Mal stepped past and said "All right you two knock it off. We're here to get paid and that's it. We can discuss Jayne's bathin' regiment later."

"Fine" John said as he walked to the cargo bay. He saw River in the rafters. "Have you seen Kaylee?" he asked her.

"She's fornicating with my brother in the engine room."

"Huh, well that puts us both out of a buddy. Let's go do something fun"

She climbed down the stairs to where he stood on the balcony. "What did you have in mind?"

For some reason, Bella was really glad they had finally landed. Why that was, she couldn't say, but it was true. As soon as she got a chance after landing, Bella headed down to the cargo bay. She needed something to do, preferably planetside.

She spotted John on the way there. "Hi," she greeted him and added a slightly more hesitant response to River.

The Eavesdown Bank was amid it's normal workday. A tal, lanky man walked in the door and ran into the security guards. He walked up to the teller and pulled out his gun.

"Give us the money!" John called

Mal, Pain, Jake, and Jayne made their way through the mob of people on their way to get paid. Mal was in front, Jayne was on his left, Pain flanked Mal on his right, and Jake brought up the rear.

As Pain squeezed his way between an obese woman and her mate, he said to Mal "So how much further is it and how do we know this guy's goin' to pay us?"

Mal said to Pain while scanning the crowd for anything peculiar "Shouldn't be long, maybe another five minutes give or take. As for payment..." He looked to Jayne, Jake, then back at Pain, smiled and said "Well I'm sure he'll see fit to pay us one way or another."

Any help with what this guy looks like or where his place of business is at would be appreciated.

This is St. Clair the man we did the most recent job for. He is a big alliance guy, hates independents. Will want to see the goods but not keep them. He had us steal them just to hurt the independents.

River climbed oput of the hole she had created in the cealing. Her plan was perfect. John is a distraction then she uses her special skills to sneak in and get the cash. She walked out to the mule and climbed in next to Bella.

"Where is he?" River asked.

---------------------------------------------
"Wow you guys are really secure." John said as he was backed into the crner by four aremd guards. A fifth was on a cortex scanning for warrants. He didn't have a lot of time. If they found his warrant they would shoot him right there. He had no choice but to incapacitate the guy with the scanner and move fast enouh that the others didn't shoot him. He was just about to through his wrench at the guy when BANG! A bullet smashed the cortex scanner. He didn't see who his savior was just sprang into action. He knocke a guard out with his wrench then kicked the gun out opf anothers hand. He grabbed it from the air and shot the other three in the kneecap. He ran out to the mule and climbed in. "Let's go!"

Bella was waiting for River and John in the mule. It seemed like this was taking a long time, and she was getting more and more worried. Then River arrived but still no John.

Quote:
"Where is he?"

"I don't know," Bella replied. "He hasn't come out yet."

After just a couple more moments, John came running out of the bank and climbed in the mule.

Quote:
"Let's go!"

He didn't have to tell Bella twice. As soon as she knew John was on the mule, she gunned it.

Mal walked into St. CLair's office and Pai nand Jayne put down the two packages.

"I believe I asked you for three" St. Clair said. He wore a full three piece suit and has his hair done up all fancy.

"Goin somewhere?" Mal asked.

"Where's the third!?!" St. Clair would not be distracted by conversation, as crazy as he was he was one smart SOB.

"Couldn't get the third. We'll only expect a two thirds of the pay."

"But the one you left was one of the larger ones. That's two fifths of the goods."

"Well don't think we'll just roll over and..."

"Shut it Jayne, we brought 60% of the goods, we get 60% of the pay"

I'm here! The BDV's been keeping me REAL busy as of late, so I haven't been here as much as I'd like to.

"Well this is goin'.... well." thought Pain as he stood near Mal, ready to leap into action in he needed to. He glanced at Jayne and continued "If'n Jayne keeps his cool and doesn't do anythin' stupid, then everythin' will be shiny."

Of course there was Jake to think about. He was still a stranger and very unpredictable. Pain wasn't too sure what he would do.

"60 sounds shiny to me, Cap." replied Pain, hoping that Jayne or Jake wouldn't do anything to muck this transaction up.

I'm still alive as well.... just, life has kept me busy...

Jake lounged about by the door to St. Claire's Door, keeping a cool eye on the thugs in the room infront of him, and a ear on the transaction going on behind him. Grinning rather sadistically at the men, he kept his hands resting on the butts of his pistols, almost but not quite daring St. Claire's boys to do something.

'Well... this is goin' well...' he thinks to himself, wondering if a show of force may be neccesary to get their pay.

Mal walked from the room and headed back to the ship.

"60% Mal that ain't ruttin enough." Jayne complained

"It'll have to be"

"We'd be gettin more if John hadn't gone all trigger happy"

"Well you take that up with him when we get back."

They walked toward teh ship. Strangely, it seemed half the crew was gone.

"Kaylee, where'd John, Bella, River and Doc run off to?"

"Dunno Captain, didn't see em leave. I was...busy."
Suddenly the mule pulled into the cargo bay and the three hopped out with large bags of cash.

"Now what have you been doin?" Mal asked

"Crime." John replied and wlke dot his bunk
