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.]

[useofaswhat]

Yeah, real dead leaves just like Granny dumped inside.

[trenchcoatedly]

It seems about par for the Admiral's attempts to do things, then.

[useofaswhat]

Aw no, please don't say he brings in snow later.

[trenchcoatedly]

I can't say that it'll happen, but it certainly wouldn't surprises me if it was to be.

[useofaswhat]

It's like flying with a gorram comedian at the bridge.

[trenchcoatedly]

Something like that, yes.

[useofaswhat]

A drunk comedian. Who can't see in one eye and never went to flight school.

[yeahscience]

He totally brings in snow later.

But presents, too. So that's sort of okay.

[useofaswhat]

Are his presents as weird as everything else he gives out?

[yeahscience]

Last year I mostly just got what my girlfriend asked for me.

[useofaswhat]

So he gives you what other people ask for? No way that can go wrong.

[yeahscience]

Jesus, you think? It was okay last year, but... [Oh, God. Now he's thinking of all the way that can go wrong.]

[useofaswhat]

You're askin' me to get inside the Admiral's head, and I'm fair sure that's a place I never want to visit. Just wouldn't surprise me if he did.

[yeahscience]

Forget it, yo, wake me up in January.

[useofaswhat]

If we all gotta suffer through it, you do too.

[yeahscience]

I did. Last year. [October was even worse for Jesse than for some of the other inmates last year; it's amazing how much scarier a haunting can be when you're having psychotic hallucinations all over the place.]

[useofaswhat]

Then you can show us all how it's done. [It would be, and if anything like that happens again this year Mal will be thanking his lucky stars that River isn't here.]

[yeahscience]

...yeah, that's not a good idea. [Self-awareness sucks sometimes.]

[useofaswhat]

[Oh, Mal can tell there's quite a story there.] Did you barely make it out alive or barely make it out?

[yeahscience]

Uh, it's a long story... I shot a ghost with an invisible gun, that tell you anything?

[useofaswhat]

Tells me something, yeah, but it's bringin' up a lot more questions than it answers.

[yeahscience]

Like I said, yo, it's a long story.

[useofaswhat]

Forget it. I'll be living it in a coupla days anyway.

[yeahscience]

Jesus. I really, really hope not.
