ABBEYGIRL

Monday, April 14, 2008 4:14 PM

*abbey finds Colt in the hallway by the crew quarters, getting ready to descend into his bunk. Mobbex catches sight of abbey and quickly retreats back into his bunk. Colt sees abbey and smiles*

Colt: Hey, you’re up. Doc clear you?

*abbey is taken off guard.*

No... I am… I am perfectly capable of getting up on my own.

Colt (narrowing his eyes at her and stepping towards her): Then I’ll be taking you back down there then.

I don’t think so. *she huffs at him angrily* I have something I’d like to discuss with you.

Colt: Won’t be any discussions until you’re cleared by the Doc.

Doc is out cold in her room. She doesn’t need to be there to tell me how I do or do not feel.

Colt: Why are you arguing what’s been decided?

*abbey ignores his comment*

What are you going to do about my shuttle? First you get me shot…

Colt: I wasn’t even there!

*abbey continues to ignore him*

Then your rutting merc breaks the door to my shuttle and steals alcohol from me! That magnum cost 200 credits and I will be reimbursed either by him or you…

Colt (indignant): Me? I didn’t take it!

He’s on your crew. That makes you responsible! *abbey takes in a labored breath*

Colt: You need to be in bed. I’ll take you back…

Don’t tell me what to do! I am not one of your flunkies! *draws in another labored breath. Colt rolls his eyes, throws abbey over his shoulder and proceeds to carry her back downstairs*

You put me down this instant!

*Sky comes to the doorway connecting the hallway with the galley and observes what is happening. At the same time, Wash looks down from the bridge. As Colt and abbey leave their sight, they look at each other and shrug.*

Colt (as abbey is kicking legs trying to get down): I told you, you’re going back downstairs until the Doc clears you.

YOU PUT ME DOWN OR I’LL… I’LL… *wheezes*

Colt: What? Wheeze me to death?

Abbey screams in frustration. Colt carries her back to the infirmary and plops her unceremoniously onto the infirmary bed.

Colt: Now you stay here until the Doc clears you. *leans into her personal space in order to make a point* If I have to, I will strap you to this bed.

Abbey crosses her arms across her chest and glowers at him.

How dare you!

Colt: Don’t. Come. Out. Until. You. Are. Cleared. Am I crystal clear? *abbey nods in defeat* Shiny then.

Colt leaves the room, leaving abbey hopping mad.

MOBBEX

Monday, April 14, 2008 4:49 PM

*slams the hatch shut and skims down the ladder as soon as he catches sight of Abbey.*

*mumbles to himself* Tha' was a close call...

*heads over to his night table and pours some water in the battered clay vase he snatched up in town earlier in the day*

*gazes at the flowers for a bit, reminiscing...*

*snaps out of it*

*hops back onto his bunk*

MOBBEX

Monday, April 14, 2008 10:26 PM

*stirs on his bunk*

*pricks up his ears, trying to figure out whether he came around on his own or was somehow brought to*

*the vessel seems oddly quiet to him*

*drags himself out of bed, slips into a pair of pants and puts on some boots, not even bothering to lace them up*

*climbs up the ladder to the fore passage*

*makes for the galley to fix himself some coffee*

*scans the room as he walks in; sees that it's empty*

Where the hell's everybody gone to?

*walks into the galley, noticing Mobbex making up coffee*
They're all asleep. You should be doing the same.

*puts new water in the flower vase on the table*
I kept these flowers alive because you liked them.

*wipes her hands on her dress* I felt bad because I hurt you. *looks at Mobbex's leg* I know you don't trust me any longer, but I hope these flowers make up for something.

*arranges flowers again before she stares at them, then looks at Mobbex with a smile*

I'll eat my socks the day you're sane enough to lecture me 'bout my sleep habits... *sips coffee*

*Brit looks a little put off*

M'sorry, I get a lil' cranky in the... mornings *takes another sip*

*is somewhat moved by the gesture* Well... they, huh... *clears throat* They do. They... they really do.

*gapes at Brit, his mouth hanging open, not sure what to say or what to think*

*Brit laughs at Mobbex's expression*
You know, you don't have to say anything. Since kindness hardly sees you, I thought I'd be the one to bring it to you. *smiles again*

Glad to bring a smile to someone, even if it doesn't show upon your face.

Have a good night, Mobbex.
*walks out with a happy expression on her face*

ORAM

Tuesday, April 15, 2008 5:01 AM

Oram wakes with a sudden start, then moans and covers her head with a pillow, while blindly searching for a drink on the bedside table… resigned to the fact she has to open her eyes, she lifts her head. Spotting the tablets, cup of water, a 3 protein bars; then the photo perched besides the water to face her.

Oh…. shen di yu…. Who the hell….

She crawls out of the bed, putting the photo deeply into the bag, then zips it shut. Takes the tablets with a gulp of water… she’s done the hangover far too many times. Pulling her boots back on and getting to her feet slowly. Then… it hits her.

Ma zi song xie sha zi!! Abbey!!!

Rushes out of her bedroom and into the infirmary…. And immediately notices the mood Abbey is in

-----------------------------------------------
We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit those who would do us harm.

(in the engine room spots doing some rewire/
Colt rushes in)
Colt: what the hell is going on!!!

Spots: What! (turning form his work)

Colt: theres a fire alarm on the console up front but no Sirens.

Spots: oh yeah my mistake theres some faulty wiring im redoing it its only temporary.

** Heading back from the infirmary where I just deposited Abbey. Talking to myself.**

Oh, juh jen sh guh kwai luh duh jean jan. That woman's toilsome.
*Mimicking Abbey** You got me shot.
Hell even Brit knew to run and hide when there was gun play.
**Making my way up to the galley and see Sky offering Brit a drink. I give her a look that she quickly shoots back to me. It's a look I know well. She's pissed and more than likely at me. I decide to to leave it alone. Brit starts to giggle so I shoot her the look. She just sticks her tongue out at me. I quickly turn around and take the back way to the crew quarters.**

*Mimicking again* Your Merc stole my liquor.
Her own fault for not telling the Doc she was allergic. I can't be babysitting her shuttle.

*Wash calls on the comm.*

*On the Bridge*

You just need need relieving? Not ticked because you had to fly so long, Not when are we going to get a job? Nothing like that?

*Wash just looks at me like I'm crazy.*

Quote:
Hey I wanted to thank you for everything you now hiring me and such..........

*She leaves the Bridge*

*Somewhat paranoid now* Yeah she's mad too.

*I sit in my seat and check out course. Then I see the empty glass from the drink Wash had a few days ago*

*Mimicking* You owe me 200 credits.
She hadn't offered up the whiskey a few days back Mobbex wouldn't even know it was there.

*More Mimicking* He's on your crew that makes you responsible.
.......Gorramit.

*I set the auto pilot and head to my bunk to retrieve 200 credits. On the way to the infirmary I put a note on Mobbex's hatch, that he's on kitchen clean up for the forseeable future.*

*I head back to the Infirmary. Abbey is sleeping. I lay the credits on the edge of the bed and head back to the Bridge*
