[with the Spring Festival fresh on her mind, it seemed like the perfect morning to go out and enjoy the day. She was thinking a picnic, maybe. Or shopping. Or just any old excuse to be outside with the sun and the flowers. But picnics aren't very much fun alone, so she stops at River's door to knock] River? You up, Sweetie? I was just thinkin-

[but she cuts off when she notices the nameplate is gone, a cold lump forming in her throat. Oh. It takes her a second, but she raises her voice again, sounding strained] Wash? Zoe? River...she ain't with you, is she?

[later on in the day, fears confirmed, Kaylee can be found sitting on the front steps of the castle. There's a half-finished milkshake in her hand, but she's not paying it any attention and it's long gone melty. Sad mechanic is sad]

Don't know how many folks knew her, but River..she's gone home again. Probably for the better. 'Least back there, she's got Simon and Serenity.

[she doesn't sound happy, though. There's a pause, and a soft sigh] I'm thinking...maybe I oughta try and get a bit of work in town. See if any folks 'round there need a mechanic. Just sittin' on my hands doin' nothin'...it can drive a person outta their heads.

Hey...before everything went crazy, you'd been sayin' you wanted mechanical legs. You still lookin' for someone t'put those together?
