In the Cargo Bay
Ertia watches surreptitiously as Pain hooks the trailer to the mule and comes back to sit down. That man has got muscles on his muscles! Sweet Buddha save me! She looks down at the trigger guard in her hand to make sure she didn't salivate on it.
"Captain say how much time we were gonna have on Persephone? I know last time it was touch-down and take-off."
Guy shrugs, "Didn't say anything to me, but then I'm the new guy."
JR grins as he blows invisible dust from the chamber of the pistol in his hand, "Didn't say nothin' to me, either, and I ain't the new guy!"
Ertia laughs and then leans over to Guy, "Don't be sorry you missed the barn-swallow thing. It was scary stuff. Never been happier we got a pilot like Wash!"

JR slowly gets up from the cleaning of the weapons in the armory and says, "Guy and gals, I'm gonna retire to my bunk and start cleaning my own stock 'fore we reach Persephone. I'm gonna recommend the same for everyone, unless that's already been taken care of. I'll also stop by the infirmary and check on the unknown, see what the Doc and Shephard have to say. Y'all excuse me."
Everyone dies alone.

*Pain replies as JR leaves*
Ok then you go do that.
*Pain waits 15 minutes as he thinks of doing the same with his pistol, remembers his gun cleaning kit is on the table in the galley, turns to Ertia and Guy, and says*
I think I'll do the same but here instead of my bunk. Now if'n you two excuse me I'll go get my cleaning kit.
*Guy responds*
We'll be here uh waiting.
*Pain gets up and heads for the stairs near the infirmary, he does a quick glance through the window before making his way up the stairs. Ertia watches as Pain walks up the stairs, she can't help but stare at his butt. She bites her lower lip and thinks to herself*
Ai Ya!
*Pain enters the galley and notices his kit is still on the table. He grabs it and heads back to the cargo bay. He walks down the stairs, holding the case in his hand. Pain then sits down, sets the kit down next to him, opens it up, unholsters his pistol, and starts to field strip and clean it.*

The infirmary is rather quiet for now. Simon and Book report that the unknown has been sleeping, occassionally mumbling to himself. JR checks the restraints holding the unknown down and heads towards his sleeping quarters. He now walks almost without a noticeable limp, and even the stairs leading down to his bunk do not pose such a challenge anymore. While standing in front of his bed, he ponders his choice of weapons, plus notices he may need to re-stock ammo for the Glock, S&W .44 Magnum, and the HK53. "That last firefight nearly cleaned me out," he says. "I'll call a couple of my contacts on Persephone, see if we can do a little business. Might wanna get some more food for me and the rest of the crew, and I got a hankerin' for some more good dog too." He commences to re-sight the laser sighting for the magnum, places new loaded clips into his armored vest for the Glock and Killer, reholsters the Glock and S&W and places the Glock and vest on a hanger near the ladder while the .44 goes back into his metal foot locker. He then lifts the double-barrel shotgun and holster from the locker and places them next to the Glock. "One more thing....," he says. He grabs the small 10-inch machete from the locker along with a sharpening stone and slides the machete along the stone. "Never can be too sharp."
Everyone dies alone.

Ertia puts away the last of the freshly cleaned handguns, and then hesitates before picking up the 9mm that Jayne recommended to her.
The full clip slides home with a satisfying click, and she flips the safety on and clips it's nylon holster to her belt.
Her laser is still tucked into her waistband, it's pressure comforting against her skin. Her brown denim jacket covers any evidence that she's armed.
As she stretches tired muscles, she catches Pain watching her and pretends not to notice. "Well, can't wait to hear Mal's plans for landfall. Hope they include some form of real food."
We about ready to make landfall? Fly, how are you coming with Bot-Boy?
Err, Sorry, I mean, 13! 
Shall we start a new thread for Persephone? This one is stretching!

*unholsters his .44 magnum and begins to clean it*

*Pain ejects his gun's magazine, checks to make sure it's full, and slaps it back in. He says to Ertia*
Yeah I hope Mal's plans include some sort of food as well. Kinda gettin' tired of eatin' protein and potatoes myself.
*Pain unsuccessfully tries to block the image of Ertia stretching out of his head, as Wash's voice says over the com*
We'll be landing at Landing Pad #7 at the Eavesdown Docks in 2 hours people.
*Pain replies out loud*
About gorram time.
*He glances over at Guy and sees him take out his piece. Pain takes out his data pad and scrolls though the list of things he's set to buy, hoping his uncle came through. He says to Guy while looking at the list*
That's a nice gun you got there. What's the make and model?

(BOT-BOY?! Yarrrgah! Actually, I didn't mind the last ten times you called me that. It's like a third name now..)
I think a little chaos is in order.
