Mal's on the ground, about to get speared by Crow. A shot rings out. Crow is kneecapped.

Mal: Nice shot.

Jayne: I was aiming for his head.

DarkHood:

In my inimitable and infuriating way, I'll say more in the one word you've restricted us to, by relating it to archetypes of Greek mythology, thereby allowing me to imply more than just one word...

Mal = Prometheus (hero of mankind)
Zoe = Artemis (goddess of the hunt)
Wash = Hermes (irreverent and wing-footed)
Book = Zeus (God the Father, somber and wounded)
Kaylee = Demeter (goddess of agriculture -- including strawberries)
Jayne = Ares (god of war)
Inara = Aphrodite (goddess of physical beauty)
Simon = Apollo (god of sophistication and medicine)
River = Athena (goddess of wisdom and insanity, she was literally born a headache)

This exercise seemed more apropos to me, given the Greek names for the planet(oid)s in the Firefly 'verse. Still, it's pretty rude of me to change the rules to fit my own purposes, n'est-ce pas?


Respectfully,

zoid

Was anyone else confused by Darkhood's Simon word? "Spoon" for Simon??? Spoon for the Tick maybe...

My list:

Mal -- Captain
Inara -- Tea
River -- Dance
Simon -- Hamster
Jayne -- Cunning
Wash -- Zany
Zoe -- Loyalty
Kaylee -- Dear
Book -- Good

Didn't realize till I was done that I'd managed to turn poor Summer Glau into a much hypered Michael Flatley show. (For which I apologize, though the music was great.)

Zoid, I am giggling over your choice of Apollo for Simon. Seems a bit of a skirt-chaser for Simon, but then, what Greek god wasn't?
