Theatrical Muse 162

I would like to go home. Not home to the cold steel bosom of the Alliance, but home, even though I'm quite sure there's precious little left of it anymore. I don't know what I'd do there, for surely there is no way for a man with my past to simply start over again. But I should like to see it again, to remember what it was like ( Read more... )

Come to think of it, never thought I'd hear you say it either. Ain't so bad as it all sounds...

OOC: I thought this was beautifully written. I always felt like anytime he spoke in the movie before he started losing his cool, he sounded like he was reciting poetry. This made me feel the same way. Very good!

Times change, Captain Reynolds, and we must change with them. I imagine it will be ... strange, at first. Changing course so drastically must be disorienting.

OOC: Thank you!! I was nervous, because this was the first time I'd written for him in first person, and I wasn't sure I could get the voice right ... but now I know I did! Thank you thank you thank youuuuu!!

Problem with that theory is that I ain't tryin' to fit into any mold. Just tryin' to stay free of it.

You wanna break free bad enough, you will. Just gotta believe... *smirk*

Well then, I suppose I shall just have to see where my desires take me. That is the way free men live, is it not?

So let's do some math here... Put everythin' you had into the Alliance. Alliance leaves you with nothin'. Let's see...

nothin' plus nothin'... carry the...

Must be nice to be startin' with a clean slate. Forced redemption...

That leaves you with just you. So... Mr I don't have a name... gotta be doin' some kind of desirin'. What is it you want?

Been known to help a redeemed man here and there for the right price. And sometimes no price at all.
