Soon I will be stepping out for a while. A sudden impromptu shindig with Tash has motivated me to leave town and go see him. I will await a move from Simon/CapnRahn at Tash's house. Worry not, I will post again tonight.

I thought you were doing fine. If you're finding her skin kinda itchy? Try watching "Out Of Gas" again. There's plenty of meat there for Kaylee. Also "The Message" where she gets kinda entranced by the voice of Jonathan Woodward's character. Oh! And the ballroom scenes in "Shindig" and the events that led up to Malcolm getting her the dress.

Kaylee's thing is that everything she does sounds innocent because from her perspective even illegal or amoral behavior is all part of the cycle of life. She's like a.. uhm, like a carefree woodland spirit like a wood nymph or somethin'. She can hang around with base and disgusting satyrs and make them look like they're not so bad. She probably couldn't or wouldn't describe it in detail, but she just goes with the flow and does what comes natural.

Think Willow or Fred but without the self-conscious scruples. Kaylee never looks back with regret. She's always in the moment. I think you got her technospeak approach down solid. In other words she doesn't have any. The ship don't go cuz this don't work. If I fix this then she will go. Kinda Paklet mentality, to draw an obscure reference from STNG.

I assure you if you just delve into her character a little bit you'll feel more comfortable with her. She's "easy as lyin'" to get a grip on. She's a creature of nature, and communes with nature through the ship. There's a very weird combination of pagan and zen going on with her but if you just think of every molecule in the world as connected to the whole 'verse, you should do fine. =)

I do a screen-capture from the DVD or scan a pic in on my scanner.

Then take it to ... ick ... PhotoShop {see note 1} and crop the pic and resize it to around 60 pixels by 60 pixels.

And viola' Avatar!

NOTE 1)I REALLY liked MicroGrafix PP, but Corel bought 'em out and shut 'em down. Still looking for the last thing MG made = MicroGrafix Picture Publisher Pro 10 anybody seen a copy?

That's a great picture of Kaylee, Capn, and I LOVE that pic of Simon. I've always loved his "introduction"...he looks so damn shady. Now how do I get Haken to change my avatar?

aww poor widdle underused, underappreciated, MOSTER PROGRAM Photoshop :)

It IS a big, grumpy, mean 'ol program, isn't it?

Heya Zach--if you'd do a type of character-rundown of 'nara like you did of Kaylee, I'd find it most helpful. I'm not sure I'm playing her as "her"--guess her skin's a little itchy for me too :)

Just emaill him with the pic attached and ask him.

haken@fireflyfans.net

Both Astrinia and I have already done so and have asked if they could be 'exclusive' to each of us.

Ciara

HEY!!! I like my widdle MicroGrafix PP 6 ... I can do more with it than I can PS 7!!!

Not mean and grumpy ... just don't like the controls ... been playing around with it fer months now ... snif ...

I 'spose I'll have to try Corel ... but they are the fraggers that bought out MicroGrafix an then ditched 'em.

... and to TOP it off, the full version of MG PP Pro 10 I have is a DEMO and thus has 30 day time-bomb on it ... any hackers around to help me dig that sucker out?

Zach
Hummm, I know there is a Firefly 'bible' somewhere ... we need to find it. It would help with those who are 'itchy'

*Hand up*

Point of interest? What sort of planet is Hara? Core world, not so much, border world? Just wanting to get an idea about the atmosphere, so I know what kind of scenery Rowan will be looking at as she heads down to the docks...

Are their docks on Hara?
