This is a new thread, for adventures in the vein of FIrefly and Farscape. I'm using my character from the Tree, but as she's still there as well, it will not affect that thread whatsoever. Everyone is welcome to come and post regardless of their activities elsewhere.
This is simply so we can get all of these stories told, they are to fascinating to be put on aside. I hope there will be action aplenty, but its also about writng and developing characters facing real problems and solving them realistically, and getting in visits to fun planets, cozy group evenings, and games of whatever the hell we're playing in the cargo bay.
Like I said, everyone is absolutely welcome. (So far i'm the only girl, so guess who going to be developing mulitple personality disorder)
*As one of the issues with action packed threads is keeping track, periodically i'll be posting updates (kind of like a 'previously on...')
I'll put the entire post in quote, so its easy to ignore. If i'm not doing it frequently enough, feel free to add your own. If you want to co-ordinated posts, plot stories and character arcs, or correct anything i've got wrong, pm or email each other and me, addresses on asking.
Ok, go forth, enjoy!

{OOC: The unhinged? 
I personally can't think of anything better than FarFly or FireScape...
I don't really know how to kick off here, so I'll let someone else kick off.}
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

UPDATE
ok, so so far as I know, Safe, Bear, Jennings and another (?) are on the Dagger. . Attatched to the Dagger is the Transport, who's numbers I can never remember, so sometime soon she's getting a new moniker. And attached to the hull of the transport is the Nandi, containing Wisp, Seryn, the rabbits and all their worldly possesions (rooomy...)
After leaving the commerce planet, following the shopping trip, the rescue of Serenity, and a bit of a messy fight, there was a brief hiccup around the vicinity of the Tree, things went decidedly screwy. Undeterred, Safe has gone ahead with a plan to find his brother, CastIronJack.
Others are about, but they have yet to make their whereabout known.

Seryn drags one eyelid open, she can feel something stroking at her hair, and a warm furry weight against her hand.
She lies crumpled in the nose of the fighter.
you took the belt off didn't you? clever girl
She manages to focus, and see Wisp looking at her, concern writ large in his features. He retracts his hand, and she realises his was the one pushing her hair away from her face. She wonders whether to give him the stern 'back off ' look, and decides to later. Clawing herself up she sits back down, puts esme back in her carrier and looks out at the space around them. The stars are vaguely familiar, but no other ships float in the vicinity, except the Dagger, just visible over her nose.
Also just visible is a very familiar planet. But she can't put a name to it, no matter how hard she wracks her brain.
"Well, it looks like we're here" She smiles over her shoulder to Wisp.
"Wherever here is.."

OOC: So is this thread a spin-off of the SereniTree or a completely different thing?
Can you truly be in 2 places at once, or is this just an alternate side to the story?

Edit:
Maybe I should have read your second post. So this is still adventures on SereniTree... only its not in the SereniTree folder right?

For the moment, no, this isn't in the folder. The future is entirely flexible though, rule nothing out.
Theres still a Seryn on the tree (that 'oh it was all a dream' thing can work on the Tree) and shall be taking part in the festivities. So you can do exactly the same, totally your choice. But this is an oportunity for those who want to to carry on telling their stories, with action and humor and drama and fun, but at the pace we want, away from the people who get upset by that sort of thing.
When people have talked it over and decided what to do about things, then we'll consider our options, you don't need to have left the Tree, infact, its better if you don't. Just think something up or ingore the point completely, we'll deal with it later. Until then, carry on roughly where you left off.

OOC: So, the ship you're in... is it the ISSCV, the one we've just left Garrison in (if it was Garrison we left, I may be confused with planet names)?
Hate to be such a dummy, but I want to be clear before I start writing anything... especially before I get in too deep with the story.

In the engine room, a body lay pinned against the wall. The man is unconcious, unsurprising considering the large metal pole sticking out of his gut. Other than that, he looks fine... smartly dressed too.
Pity being impaled by a broken piece of a radiator would only go and kill a man. It's a good thing then, that this is no ordinary man.
Needy's eyes gradually open.
Well, that was fun. Next time, I must insist somebody else fly the damn ship
The male companion glances down at his position and notices the large metal rod sticking diagonally out of stomach.
Perfect
Placing his hands at either side of him, he pushes himself up, letting his body slide out of the broken piping. As he stands, the intruding pipe finally exits his lower back.
Twisting his head over his shoulder and pulling back his arm to look at the wound, he sighs.
That's going to leave a scar
Stepping back, he kicks the pipe. Again and again until it moves back against the wall, so that hopefully shoddy flying won't cause another passerby to be impaled.
As his body begins to heal, he groans about the task he had been given.
"'Check out the engine room' he said. 'Do us a favour' he said. I'm a companion not a mechanic!"
Truthfully though, despite his moaning, he was glad he was okay.
It hadn't been that long ago that he died. During that brief time he ceased to breathe, he had found himself in another realm, where he was visited by a being telling him his time was not up. That he had work to do. When he was revived, he was a completely different man. He still had the same insecurities and inability to handle pressure, but his body wasn't the same. He found that he was practically invincible. Bullets would hit him, but they would do no harm - his body would just reject them.
Still, it wasn't as glorious a prospect as it sounded. He soon found himself in unbearable pain all around his body. If it hadn't been for a good doctor's medication, he might be still lying in bed, unable to think of anything but the pain.
Pity that the pills more than took away the pain, they numbed him completely. He couldn't feel anything. No pain. No pleasure. Quite ironic for a person whose occupation centred on experiencing pleasure.
But Needy wasn't one to complain, he had found friends... ones he could depend on to watch his back.
He could have done with a friend watching his back before he got impaled.
"Seryn?" Needy called into his comm. "Are you alright?"
OOC: Long post but I thought since it was a new thread, I might as well summarise who Needy was. I thought we could have more flashbacks here too, like Lost (just my opinion). I was going to add more to this first post but I thought it was long enough as it is. I was also going to provide Seryn's answer on the comm, but I thought maybe you might want to have an amnesia twist or something, so I've left it for you to reply.

The Nandi's comm fuzzes a bit, static and pops in a random little tune. She leans forward to pick the unit up and gazes towards the transport, where Needy is walking around all half dead, visible through the windows.
She picks up the comm, fiddling with the buttons, then yelps.
Yep, yelps. Well, more like a squeek if you must know. Closing her eyes, she breaths deep.
Zen. come on, zen me up.
She opens them again. Needy stands by the window. Grinning, he waves. She yells at him, wondering if he can lip read. He frowns, waves his hand. She waves back at him, yells again. Something taps on her shoulder but she brushes it away. By now Needy is holding his hand up and pointing with the other finger.
".... ON'T KNOW WHAt you're...." She watches as Needy leaps away from the window, putting his hand to his ears, jumping again as the screeching comm nears his ear, and throwing it away.
She looks down at the comm unit held just in front of her mouth, follows the hand then the arm holding it up to see Wisp giving her a sardonic look. She grins sheepishly, then glares and takes the unit off him.
"Sorry Needy, its been a crazy few hours, like to get addlepated things don't settle down soon, anyway, enough of me, how about you? Hows that sucking great chest wound of yours doing?"
Calmly she sits, still and desperatly denying the need to freak out like a big girls blouse.
