Damon's turn:

Damon pulls against the straps screaming in agony as the medical pliers dig into his hip. Eternity seems to pass before the pain diminishes enough to allow him to speak.
His heart thunders in his chest, his lungs can't seem to pull enough air.
"YES! I'm sure... I'm sure no locks wasn't locked was open..."

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

As...
DAMON
gasping in pain
"YES! I'm sure... I'm sure no locks wasn't locked was open..."

SIMON
looks DEEP into DAMONs pupils
"Yes, I now believe you."

SIMON reaches for another hypo and injects DAMON. DAMON falls blissfully unconscious. The truth serum and pain retreived the answers he was looking for.

SIMON feels sonfident that DAMONs subconscious will only hold the very hazy and painful memory of waking up during a surgery.

He quickly and expertly removes the final bullet from DAMONs leg and stiches him up with speed and finesse. SIMON cleans and bandages all the wounds.

He finds that DAMONs ribs are only cracked a bit, some cartilage bits that will float around causing minor pain until they are reasorbed in a few days.

After a fast cleanup and unstrapping, SIMON injects DAMON with a stimulant. Simon, with years of practice behind him, dresses DAMON then and helps him to the door.

SIMON
While unlocking and opening the door with one hand, all trace of an accent have dissappeared

"You'll be fine, just take these" ...

puts pill bottle in a groggy DAMONs pocket with the instructions.

..."if you feel any discomfort. Now you can talk to the Captain, if you feel up to it."

DAMONs grogginess seems to wear off quickly at that remark and he nods.

SIMON hands DAMONs bag to him and gives him a slight push to help him over the threshold and moves back inside, closing and securing the door

SIMON
Opening the cyrobox - he finds it EMPTY. A small predatory smile creeps over his features as he whispers.
"Safe, it is..."

EOM

Damon's turn:
Location: downstairs common room

Simon gives Damon a slight push to get him over the threshold and moves back inside, closing and securing the door.
Damon stumbles forward, his poor attempts to steady himself fail and he falls to the ground with a hard thud and a load groan.
Flashes of broken memories flood what's left of his consciencness.

Quote:
"John, stop it! You'll kill him!"
"SHUT UP!!"

"Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air! You are outnumbered and have no where to go!"
"Jien tah duh guay!"

"You usless piece of tzao gao! Get up!"

"Iz it safe?!"
Waving the bloody forceps and bullet under Damon's nose, an undisguised threat: this could get worse.

"You lying hwoon dahn! I'll skin you alive!"
"John, he's telling the truth!"
"You better be damn sure!"

"YES! I'm sure... I'm sure no locks wasn't locked was open..."
Damon rolls onto his back, a single tear escaping from his tightly closed eyes.
"I didn't do anything... never did anything... Shiong-mung duh kwong-run, I'll kill you..."

Translations:

Jien tah duh guay = Like hell!
tzao gao = shit
hwoon dahn = bastard
shiong-mung duh kwong-run = violent lunatic

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Kaylee's Move
Location: In the innards of Serenity

Kaylee hums to herself as she works amidst the pipes and lines of Serenity. Coming to a "T" junction, her eyes glaze over a bit. Frowning, she squeezes the tube a little. No, this isn't right...it's not giving enough.

"Damn," she thinks, "now I gotta crawl back out an' get down ta the 'nfirmary. Hope Simon won't mind me workin' in there."

Wriggling backwards, she manages to hop down to the deck without banging anything. With a deep sigh, she heads down the passageway to the infirmary. As she rounds the corner to the common room, she sees that strange passenger--Damon, was his name?--collapsed on the floor next to the table.

Crouching over him, she lays a hand on his shoulder and asks, "Hey, are ya ok? What're ya doin' out here?"

Kaylee notices a tear trailing down the man's cheek. He seems to be mumbling something about locks and he didn't do it, or some such thing.

Alarmed, she stands and moves to the infirmary door. She starts to pound on it when she notices that the lock is engaged.

"Simon! Simon! That Damon fella is layin' on the floor out here! Why'd ya let him leave if he ain't fixed yet?"

"Simon?" she whispers nervously, after getting no response from the doctor.

End Move

"I love my Captain."

OOC: ACK!! Capn Rahn, what have you done!! You didn't get Damon back in his clothes... he's still in those handcuffs though... lol

Damon feels a hand on his shoulder and immediately pulls his arms up defensively.
"No... qing... wo bu zhidao..."
He hears a female voice calling, and wearily opens his eyes.
"...Why'd ya let him leave if he ain't fixed yet?"
"I didn't do anything..."
He tries to get up, but his bruised and battered body refuses to cooperate.
"Bu huai le..."

Translations:

qing = please
wo bu zhidao = I don't know
Bu huai le = not broken

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

OOC
Squee ... never took Damon outta his clothes and the cuffs seems to keep coming and going, by reading the actions of Damon in previous posts ... are they in front or behind Damon's back?

LOCATION-INFIRMARY
Just after SIMON opens the cyrobox

SIMON closes the empty cyrobox and begins to re-straps it just as...

KAYLEE
pounding on the infirmary door

"Simon! Simon! That Damon fella is layin' on the floor out here! Why'd ya let him leave if he ain't fixed yet?"

SIMON hurredly tosses the first strap down and tips the lid off from the box -quietly, but looking like it was done in a hurry.

He then moves over to the exam table and then smacks his forehead HARD on an edge, after checking for the correct angle of attack. He slides to the floor quietly, having hit his head TOO hard and greying out.

Blood begins to pool slowly from the shallow scalp wound and trickle across the floor as SIMON passes into light unconsciousness.

OOC: yes Mercedes did... he told Damon to strip or be doped, so he did... guess you missed it. let me know what you want to do...
Edited: Crisis averted! thanks CapnRahn!! oh, and for the record, Damon's handuffs have been severed from scene 1 but he hasn't gotten them off yet.

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

OCC:
OK, it was said, just not clearly defined as to stripped down how far.

I am sure Simon would dress Damon before hauling him out.

BTW, we should TRY to keep this type of 'notes' in the OOC thread.

EDIT
Fixed the clothes thing ... don't know what to do about the handcuff thing other than have Simon 'pick' the lock.

Also, Merz already gave the short version of 'healing' Damon.

I musta missed it because it followed her OOC part of her post.

Shows me WHY I should'na post while sleepy!!!

Book's Move

Location: River's Room, with Inara, River, Slight and Thorne.

The tension in River's room has grown by degrees, almost matching the humidity. The somewhat cramped quarters making everyone a little uncomfortable. Brink Helsing has been alternating between closing his eyes and staring at River intently. River crouches in a corner, afraid and mumbling, and in obvious terror.

Book (softly) to himself and coincidentally everyone around him, since they are quiet.

"This isn't right...."

TO: Helsing

"Helsing, I don't know what you're doing, but it worries me and it's terrifying River... can't you see?"

Book moves to River, who is trembling and almost sweating herself into a numbed shock. SHe flinches initially from Book, then relaxes as she recognizes him. Book helps River to her feet and sits next to her on the bed, his gun forgotten tucked away behind his belt. Book looks up to Inara.

Book to Inara

"Inara, she needs water."

Book waits a moment for Inara and then, looking to Slight, his nostrils flare and his eyes squint half-closed. He stands up calmly and brings River with him.

"C'mon. Everyone into the Common Area. I don't like this. It feels like we're performing rituals in dark corners. Out into the open!"

With this, Book walks River out of her room and into the Common Area.
