Story so far:
The crew gathered in the galley for dinner. As Pain and Ivy enjoyed some under-the-table trifling action, Mal poked John as to his whereabouts before announcing that their new passenger, the galling yet endlessly captivating Isahiah, had work for them. Isahiah went on to outline the nature of the aforementioned work, but obstinately refused to elaborate on a handful of key issues, prompting the majority of the people present to question his genuineness.
As the crew dispersed, Pain and Ivy retreated to Pain's bunk, John paid a visit to Inara in her shuttle, and Isahiah warded off questions from a handful of disgruntled crew members before heading off, looking for a place to spend the night.
Upon leaving Inara's shuttle, John stopped by Kaylee's bunk, and was quite surprised to find Isahiah there. The two had a short chat and John left, vowing to find out what Isahiah was hiding. He talked River into probing Isahiah's mind, but all she was were random memories and nasty dreams.
When the morning came, the crew got together in the galley, with Pain and Ivy rustling up breakfast. Small talk ensued. Pain and Ivy slipped downstairs to, erm, shower. John went to have a look at the engine. Isahiah went downstairs to see Simon but got decked by Mal on his way there. A full-blown interrogation

OOC: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JTTF! Hope it's a good one. 
Cargo Bay
Pain sat on a crate with Ivy standing between his legs. Pain had his arms wrapped around her stomach and rested his head on her right shoulder. As they and the others waited for Serenity to touch down, he whispered to Ivy, "So what are you goin' to buy besides a new light source for you plant?"
"Some new clothes and perhaps something else." she whispered back with a smile.
"Somethin' else?" Pain replied, still whispering. He gave her a squeeze and asked, "What kind of somethin'?"
"Can't tell you." she whispered back. She grinned wider and added, "It's a surprise."
"A surprise? I like surprises." Pain intriguingly replied. He brushed his lips against her ear and said, "Is it the type of surprise that you'll tell me about if'n I tickle it out of you?"

“Tickling will get you no where, mister,” Ivy told him.
“Not if you don’t do it right,” Pain added.
Ivy stealthily ran her hand very lightly up the inside of Pain’s right thigh. He squirmed and buried his face into her neck to stifle the laugh that erupted.
“Was that done right?” she asked wickedly.
“Depends on what you want,” Pain answered.
“Just looking for your opinion when it comes to buying my stuff. I’m really kind of nervous about going.”
Pain turned her around to face him.
“Nervous? Why?”
“It’s just been a while. I'm not used to having a bunch of clothes and I haven't been out to do something like shopping in quite a while,” she explained. It had been a couple of years actually. The clothes she had on today were picked out by Grayson. “For example, these are so neutral. I'd like to get something pretty, something that you'd like.”
Her face brightened up a little.
“Maybe I can get something that’s red?”
“Your favorite color. I think we can arrange for that.”
She kissed him quickly, but instead, it turned into a long string of kisses. Pain happened to glance off to the side to see Mal staring at them with the ‘get-a-room’ look and 13 giving them a stern glare.
“Uh… We have spectators,” he said as he leaned his forehead against hers.
She grinned and turned around to their original position.
“So what are you going to buy?” she asked.

Isahiah stood with his back resting against a stack of bold yellow containers enfolded in a black nylon net, a glass of water in hand. The ship trembled from stern to bow as it plummeted down Beylix's atmosphere. Isahiah took a tentative sip from his glass, taking great care not to cause a spill.
Reynolds wanted his money, and he could hardly blame him for it. Still, the man's eagerness cast a hurdle in his path, since he was in no sort of position to dish out the amount they had agreed on. He would have to procure it through alternate means, which could give rise to a wealth of complications...
The vibrations subsided as the ship steadied its course, and Isahiah knew they were within minutes of touching down. He knew of a place where he could get what he needed with minimal risk. "Hell, it might even be fun." He drew another sip from his glass.
The grinding of hydraulic pumps resonated around him as the ship's thruster pods pivoted into their VTOL configuration, and mere moments later she kissed the ground with a resounding thud.
"Now to business."

"Some shirts, socks, and pants. Perhaps some boxers too." replied Pain. He gave her another squeeze and continued, "I wouldn't object to havin' a woman's opinion on those sorts of things."
"On what?" Ivy asked with a smile. "The boxers?"
"Well those and the other things." Pain said, giving her a peck on the neck. "I also need to get some ammo if'n they have some. Kind of runnin' low on some of my guns."
"Speaking of which." Ivy said. "How are you going to try on clothes with all that gear you got strapped on?"
"Very carefully." replied a cryptic Pain.
Pain felt Serenity hit the ground and watched as the cargo bay doors opened and the ramp lower. He gave Ivy a playful slap on the butt, causing her to let out a surprised gasp as Pain stood up from his seat.
He gave her a playful smile and said as he gestured to the open, "After you, baobei. Let our adventure in shoppin' begin."

Ivy and Pain walked out of the cargo bay and into the bustling dock area of New Allansburgh. They walked lazily. She was pressed against his side with her arm around his waist, a finger hooked through a belt loop. His arm wrapped around her shoulders. It was almost comical, the two of them, especially since he towered over her about 14 inches and weighed twice what she did (and then some). But there was an air about them. A certain… happiness.
“What do you think of that shop?” Ivy giggled as she pointed to one catering to what looked like cowboys. “We could get you a big white hat–”
“Black hat,” corrected Pain. She looked at him strangely and he shrugged. “I look better in black, plus it matches the coat better.”
“But don’t the bad guys wear black hats?” she asked a smile on her face. “You’re supposed to be the hero figure.”
“And heroes can’t be bad?” Pain shot back at her, the last word taking on a purely sexual connotation. “The desk this morning wasn’t enough of an example?”
She nudged him a little and smiled up at him.
“It was naughty, but not what I’d call bad.”
“Oh, no?”
“No,” she confirmed. She motioned over to the cowboy store. “Do you want to go in there?”
“No. Not my style.”
“Awww…” she pouted. “And we could have gotten you some chaps…”
They erupted into laughter as they continued past the shop.

Mal strode up to Isahiah as the crew went about their respective business. "Didn't I tell you to get a hold of something warm?" he questioned, shoving his hands down a pair of faded leather gloves even as he spoke.
"What can I say? It seems no one could spare even a jacket," Isahiah replied, knowing full well that his frayed woolen sweater and black denims offered meager protection against the elements.
"Well that's a pity. I'm told the weather can be a real stinker in this part of Beylix."
"I'm familiar with the region and its wayward climate, captain," assured Isahiah. "Shall we?" he added, gesturing to the exit with an emphatic nod of his head.
"Sure," Mal blurted in assent, and with that, they ventured into the gloomily lit neighborhood, Isahiah leading the way with Mal firmly in tow.

Pain and Ivy's Shopping Quest
"So." Pain asked after the laughter died down. "Who should we shop for first? You or me?"
"Don't matter to me, baobei. So long as we get inside someplace warm. I'm freezing." she replied shivering a little.
Pain looked down at her and noticed that indeed she was shivering. Pain had his trench coat on so he didn't feel the chill in the air. The weather was sure acting wonky today, but then again quick changing weather could be the norm for this place. Pain spotted a store that catered to both men and women and ushered Ivy towards the double doors. Once inside they were immediately wrapped in a blanket of heated air.
Ivy let out a sigh and said to Pain, "Oh that feels good. It's too bad we can't stay in here forever. I don't like the cold."
"Yeah me neither." replied Pain, giving her a smile. Leaning down and placing a kiss on her head, Pain said, "Why don't we go pick somethin' out for me and then we can do you. What do you say, darlin'?"

Pain and Ivy first found themselves in the Men’s Hosiery Department. Pain instantly began looking around in sock section, looking for colors and types of socks he wanted.
“I’m not helping you pick out socks, Pain,” she called out to him as she wandered the aisles nearby.
“It’s not necessary, babe,” he answered with a smile. “I’m a big boy, I can handle socks by myself.”
“Yes. You. Are,” he heard her say from an aisle or two away.
Pain chuckled a little. She came around to where he was at, carrying a black T-shirt.
“You see these?” Ivy said bringing it up to him and laying on the table next to him. “These are those new ones that are form fitting to keep you warm. Maybe you should buy one and see how you like it.”
Pain looked at it as she floated away to look some more.
“Nah. Not my style. Too clingy.”
“Clingy could be good.”
“I’d just be all uncomfortable.”
“Wasn’t talking about you,” her voice lilted from a different area.
Puzzled, he picked up the t-shirt and looked at it for a second before what she said sunk in. He liked it when she wore his T-Shirts, but having one that was meant to be clingy would take it to another level. He raised his eyebrows a little and put it with the things he already decided to purchase.
She even knew how to make shopping for socks and undershirts sexy.
Her head poked up a little from the next aisle over.
“You said something about boxers?”
“Yes. Might want to get some if'n I find some I like.”
“How about these?” she asked as she held them up high enough so he (and anyone else in the vicinty) could see. They were wild colored.
“I don’t think so,” he said.
“Wait! Look!” she laughed, urging him to look again as she pushed a button in the waistband. Little tiny lights turned on to spell out a greeting that was a hair’s breath from profane.

Pain chuckled and asked, "What size are those?"
Ivy lowered the boxers and checked the tag on the waistband. Once she saw the size of them, she called out, "Extra large."
There was a moment of silence as he thought it over before he said, "Find one exactly like it, but a size larger and put it in with the other stuff."
"OK!" replied a cheerful Ivy as she made her way over to him with the correct sized novelty boxers in hand.
She was beaming with excitement as she placed them in the cart along with Pain's other purchases. Pain found her excitement amusing and gave her a smile.
"So what next?" she asked almost bouncing with glee.
Pain scanned the items in the cart and thought about what else he needed. There were a few multi-packs of XXL shirts, a multi-pack of socks, the clingy shirt for Ivy, and the pair of novelty boxers. Pain had pants, so he didn't need to shop for any of those. Shoes and boots were good as well, so he didn't need any of those either.
"Already got plenty of pants and footwear, so we don't need to shop for any of those. Lets get me a multi-pack of regular boxers and that should do it for me, darlin'." He leaned down and gave her a kiss, before saying, "After that we get to go shoppin' for you."
There was another kiss and Ivy asked, "What kind of regular boxers do you like?"
"Anythin' that's not yellow, green, pink, or purple. Stripes, checkers, smiley faces are good, but no plaid." replied Pain.
"Gotchya." Ivy replied with a smile as the two of them headed over to where the boxers were.
"Not a real big fan of plaid." Pain said as they looked over the selection. He looked Ivy up and down and added with a sly grin, "At least on me. You on the other hand, now that's a different story."
