Looks like someone decided it's autumn, even though it ain't autumn 'cause we're not spinning round a sun and don't have seasons. Anyone got an idea why the Admiral thinks we all need t'be showered with dead plants?

The way I see it, there ain't any use for raining down magic leaves outta nowhere except to crunch when you walk on 'em. Seems we might as well get some use outta them. Any of you folks ever build bonfires back home? Wouldn't be too hard to rake up a pile and light it in the CES. Don't sound like a bad time, specially not if someone saved any of the rotgut from that last history-time break. [Duo? He's looking at you.]

I didn't know there were places where people weren't treated like that until I came here- but I knew it was wrong there, at least.

[She's pretty easy, mostly in the good ways (except it gets her lied to sometimes).]I'm Zev Bellringer of B3K. What did what you said just mean?

[useofaswhat]

Well there are! There's plenty! You end up in a place like that, you do what you gotta to leave and you don't stop till you find a world where they treat people like people.

Oh, that? [He chuckles a little nervously.] Just somethin' you probably don't want me to translate.

[love_slave]

That's what my deal was for. We never found one aboard the Lexx, but my deal with the Admiral is for a good home where mostly good things happen.

I won't say all good things- no place is perfect. But mostly.

Then it probably fits the League of 20,000. [That place should get all the swearing, even if it's mostly gone.]

[useofaswhat]

Good. [He still looks shocked by her universe's social standards. It's worse than the go se Saffron fed him about Triumph.] Though a world like that shouldn't be so hard to find.

Yeah, well, I'll pride myself it's accurate then.

[love_slave]

This ship has been the best I've found so far. I don't like that it's a prison, but comparably it's been the best.

[useofaswhat]

[For a second he just stares, then shakes his head.] Now that just ain't right.

[love_slave]

I'm hearing it more often, but I'm still pleasantly surprised when I hear someone say that they what's happened wasn't right. Thank you.

[It's the strangest thing to say and mean. And look! She's not even used wiles in a whole minute!]

[useofaswhat]

Well, it ain't right. You hear anyone tell you otherwise you keep away from them, understand? [That explains why Mal is more comfortable and less attractive now.]

[love_slave]

Only one person has.

He's gone now. [Blake. There's a sort of tone there.] If he came back I'd just hit him, though.

[useofaswhat]

Good! Hitting's just the start of what qīngshuài de èbà – what sorry excuses for people like that deserve! Might teach 'em a little bit about respect.

[love_slave]

I'm a very nice person, but if someone makes me angry I can do much more than hit.

[There's that confidence again- except that's not a tease. That's a promise.]

[useofaswhat]

[Oh, he believes it.] Then remind me not to make you angry.
