[Backdated to the day after the Beasts of Burden flood:]

Seems that when we all jumped back a couple steps evolution-wise some of us were busier'n others. [He's looking at you, cold-blooded reptiles and formerly stoned felines.] Going into why or how ain't important, but I picked up a couple things this flood that I don't got a use for.

[The picture moves to sweep over a pile of random objects sitting on the floor of his cabin: it's a mess of mismatched jewelry, coins, silverware, keys, buttons, electronic parts, and half-eaten foodstuffs, various strings and ribbons tangled up in the collection.]

Anyone wants this huòsè* back, all you gotta do is ask for it. Anything that's left I'm dumping in a common room.

*stuff

OOC: Regarding this post, but Mal probably stole from everyone. If you want your character to find their stuff in his stash, go for it.

Don't be too hard on yourself. I and another former warden were once compelled to liberate a single shoe from each cabin.

[useofaswhat]

What was the shoe for?

[19centconstable]

Er. Youthful shenanigans, mostly. It's a bit difficult to explain. I wasn't myself at the time.

How the hell did you get into my cabin?

[useofaswhat]

So you went after shoes. [What the hell, George. Sure, Mal may have stolen a bunch of useless junk too, but at least some of it is nice to look at.] Was there a dire shoe shortage on board? Not enough in the storehouses to get through winter?

[Private]

[useofaswhat]

Uh, by walking in, probably. Which one was yours?

Re: [Private]

[worldsbestmarksman]

You see those two arrowheads?

[clint isn't even going to address the inaccuracies of that. No one just gets into his room.]

[19centconstable]

Left shoes, to be exact.

We did return them once we were no longer affected...

[useofaswhat]

Guess you're lucky it wasn't underwear, then.

[Private]

[useofaswhat]

Yeah, I see 'em. Were they meant to scare me off?

[love_slave]

What were you? [Curiously.]

Re: [Private]

[worldsbestmarksman]

No the ones on the table. I was cleaning my bows. You didn't happen to chew on those during the flood did you?

[19centconstable]

Yes, I don't believe I'd have managed to recover from that.

[lesliemonster]

What animal were you? And what use did animal you have for my copy of The Beauty Myth?

[Private]

[useofaswhat]

Could've happened, but I didn't spend much time lookin' for anything to teethe on.

[Private]

[worldsbestmarksman]

...Okay.

[He hesitates] Yeah you didn't. I'd like them back then. I'll come get them now.

THAT'S MY VICTOR'S CROWN!

[Cato is a mad mad mad puppy. Well he was a puppy. Specifically a German Shepard.]

Give it back.

[useofaswhat]

A raccoon. If you don't have 'em where you're from, they look kind of like little dogs with puffed-up stripey tails.

[useofaswhat]

Raccoon. And... you ain't gonna like this, but the pages're real soft. [About a third of The Beauty Myth is now shredded and stashed under Mal's bunk as bedding.]

[useofaswhat]

Don't know why you'd want it, son, but it's all yours.

[lesliemonster]

A RACCOON?

[THE SCOURGE OF PAWNEE. THEY EVEN FOUND A WAY TO FOLLOW HER HERE.]

You wiped your raccoon butt on The Beauty Myth?

[districttwo]

...Why I wanted -

[He just stares for a moment, stupidly - and then looks furious.]

What do you mean. [Are you insulting District Two.]

[useofaswhat]

Whoa! Hey! It ain't that big a deal, I don't got rabies!

[useofaswhat]

What, you don't see it? It ain't bad as far as metal hats that make you look like a bird but – your planet's fashion is a mite weird.

[districttwo]

It's a symbol of a leader, of a victor.
