Afternoon, folks. – Evenin', now. [The man on screen clears his throat and nods in greeting, a little awkwardly. (And no, he's not actually wearing a floral bonnet. Today.)] This Admiral fella wanted a handful o' help and thought I was the man to give it so wǒ zài zhèlǐ. Name's Captain Reynolds, Mal if you ain't one to stand on ceremony. I'm sure it's fine to meet you all, and if it ain't, you go ahead an' let me know. [There's a smile purely for the sake of decorum, which drops off his face almost immediately as his eyes rake over something off-screen, as if reading.]

Let's see what we got here, then... Prison ship, eight levels and two additional restricted areas, complete with library, common rooms, medbay, an' my personal favorite, fully stocked kitchen. Probably serves better'n protein too. Laundry services, showers, art therapy facilities, and gardens included. Now that don't sound like any prison I ever been to. Hell, y'all even got a bar? Got quite a slick operation here, real nice 'n cozy.

But it still ain't as good as my boat.

No, folk speak other languages here'n there, they just ain't common.

[useofaswhat]

Meet ya up there?

[persuadeyou]

Sounds like an interesting universe.

If I ask about your ship, am I going to get another run around?

[useofaswhat]

If you're from 1999, you're ancient. Sorry, kid.

[useofaswhat]

That's fine, you keep on lovin' on this one then. [Awww, puppy! The space captain does not smile at it a little. Not at all, you're imagining things.]

[unweeping_willow]

Maybe you're just new.

[hungryanhorny]

[Smile! For it is half wolf and is awesome.]



ooc: If you want to be slightly evil to him, send him over to the pub? Faith co-runs it. ;P It is best to be nice to the Warden who serves your drinks!

[useofaswhat]

Haul cargo, for the most part. We take on passengers sometimes, when the shipping business's slow. Ain't for anything – well it ain't for anyone else, just my crew an' me.

[useofaswhat]

Now, that I ain't heard yet. Could be you're right.

[unweeping_willow]

[...That retort actually worked?] Don't think most of us are from that late.

[He heads up to meet him at the bar, knowing that there's more entertaining subjects than the fall of Space Rome but he's eager to socialize. One of the few advantages of this boat is meeting people and Mal seems very interesting. Either like a male Beka or someone Beka might date- (Honestly, he'd rather keep it to the former in his mind because he'd be more inclined to like him than decide automatically he's up to no good, Beka never had the best taste in partners).

Whenever he shows up he already has a green, thick drink of some sort that seems to keep up with his metabolism.]

[It doesn't take Mal long to get the lay of the land, so to speak, and he saunters into the bar not long after Rhade and joins him with a glass of whatever whiskey they'll pour.]

...You ever tell me your name?

[buildindreemz]

That sounds nice. I mean... if you're the type to go for no rules and regulations.

[useofaswhat]

You say that like it ain't a good thing.

[useofaswhat]

[Hey, he thought it was pretty clever.] Looks like I'm stuck with a bunch o' relics then. [He shrugs.] Can think of worse places t'be.

[unweeping_willow]

[So did she, but...] Could be fun.

[useofaswhat]

"Fun" ain't what I was thinkin' of callin' it, but sure, maybe if I keep my fingers crossed.

[unweeping_willow]

You don't think so? There's mice people... [And less than nice. But considering the vampire-run town she came from, Willow really didn't see anything wrong with the barge.]

[useofaswhat]

Nice'r not, I'm here to work first. Playin' comes second.

[unweeping_willow]

...Not just work, though; when you're working with people.

[Video]

[useofaswhat]

Think it might take awhile.

[useofaswhat]

Interesting's a word for it.

Depends what you're askin' about her.

[useofaswhat]

Don't know about you but I always work with people. Work still comes first.

[buildindreemz]

I think it depends on the person, really. Sounds like it works pretty well for you, though.

I can relate. [Building in dreams - there are still a few rules, but not anything like the rules for building in the real world. Physics? Pfft.]

[unweeping_willow]

What if the people are the work?
