Just so y'all know, Nicole an' I'll get the boiler tonight. Do we got a dinner shift going here or are we fending for ourselves?
[Spam for Natasha]
[Sharing a room with Natasha might get a little awkward, but Mal has to admit that in an old-fashioned way it's a pretty nice one. There's a pair of double beds and a window looking out over an actual view, bleak and snowy though it might be. The place ain't exactly homey but for a stopover during a crash it's comfortable; at least there aren't any aliens this time. But funnily enough, whenever he looks outside he swears he sees Tracey's family graveyard on St. Albans.
Must be one of those times where looking out in the snow makes you see things. Mal shrugs his wool overcoat off and pushes the thought from his mind – he's got an inmate to deal with and a great amount to work through. That's far more important.]
Ladies first. Go ahead, pick your bunk.

[Spam] you should be because I am in such a huge hurry >:[

[He tosses his own jacket on the opposite bed and turns abruptly from the window (one dreary snowscape on a backwoods planet looks much like any other, he reminds himself) and turns to her. Tracey and his folks and St. Albans is not what he wants to dwell on right now. Too much work to be done.]
Where do you reckon they keep flashlights in a place like this? If that cellar ain't lit I don't fancy fighting with the furniture.
[Spam] I am such a terrible person /o\
Date: 2012-11-19 04:40 pm (UTC)Front desk, maybe. Or the closets. [Which is where she heads first, checking the very top shelves and the very back corners. And while she's looking, she could swear she heard a creak behind her, felt someone stepping close - but when she looks over her shoulder, ready to tell Mal that he missed his shot when he didn't hand over her file the first time she asked, there's no one there. A frown crosses her face, just briefly, and she shakes it off, rising on her toes again to finish looking.]
Nothing here. You find anything?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-19 10:33 pm (UTC)While Natasha scrounges the closet, Mal's combing through the wardrobe and finding nothing more exciting than empty wire hangers. The desk turns up nothing interesting either, just a blank pad of stationery and a King James Bible he doesn't even bother picking up.]
Nope. Wherever they keep the good stuff, it ain't in the room.
Want to go start up the heat?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-22 05:34 pm (UTC)Might as well. Why'd you volunteer?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-24 07:05 am (UTC)Why not? Crawlin' around in a cold dark cellar while trying to coax the breath of life into an old machine sounds like a right grand adventure, don't you think? Plus, I wasn't sure anyone else would.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-24 11:01 pm (UTC)You have a very strange idea of adventure.

Date: 2012-11-25 03:15 am (UTC)Was it cold where you grew up?

Date: 2012-11-25 03:23 am (UTC)Extremely. You don't know about Russia?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-25 03:26 am (UTC)Yeah. It's supposed t'be a really big country, right? I know they had different climates on Earth-that-Was.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-25 03:38 am (UTC)Very big, and most of it inhospitable. Have you heard of Napolean?

Date: 2012-11-26 09:08 pm (UTC)He tried to invade Russia in the winter. It didn't go too well for him.

Date: 2012-11-29 07:52 pm (UTC)The oil in his tanks froze during the nights. Napolean didn't prepare for how hard supply trains would be; Hitler was just stupid.
