The last thing he clearly remembered was the gunfire, the sheer racket it was all making as they made a break for it. Tyler was just across from him, so close and the only one to back them up. Should have known the useless sod couldn’t make a shot if his life depended on it. That was if he even wanted to make the shot, anyway, he honestly has no ( Read more... )

The moment the Master finds himself in Taxon's arrival chamber, he's furious. His rage flashes across his face and it's only a quick thought that reminds him to turn his back on the tablet waiting for him. "Tell me you're joking," he scowls quietly, pinching at his nose and taking a deep breath. "Tell me."

Taxon. How sickening. He debates his ( Read more... )

Amy bustled around the kitchen, humming along as Elvis sang on the radio. She was just finishing off the canapés for the party she and her dear husband were throwing for their neighbors. Since the two had finally settled on a house, it seemed only proper to open the doors and show it off. She couldn't wait to hear what the other wives thought of ( Read more... )

Mornings are spent with Mal. It's a routine Kaylee has developed over the last few years, and one that she relies on just as much as her older brother might. Wake up early, have breakfast, and then they both head to the garage down the street.

It’s been a long week of work, and it isn’t even halfway through yet. Kaylee’s arrival back at the ranch involves flopping face-first into her mattress and not moving for a good long while. Tony’s arrival, almost an hour later, and the idea of a good old-fashioned night at the bar are what finally get her rolling off of the bed and pulling Tony ( Read more... )

It's the grand opening of Theta's shop, which she rather arrogantly likes to think will be a big deal.  The doors open promptly at 10AM and Theta settles behind the counter with a notebook and pencil, sketching out plans for the next thing to build.  She's working on a teapot, if anyone would like to look at her designs.  She also has a cup of tea ( Read more... )

Theta had been very busy.  She'd ridden the tram that circled the city around and around, looking for a place of business that she could take over and rework to suit her needs.  True to what she'd been told, there was eventually one that she found, and not too far from a tram stop, either.  It hadn't take much to be able to take it over, and she'd ( Read more... )

Spike is sitting on the floor in the Hyperion lobby hunched over and concentrating hard. He's holding a deck of cards, and several other piles are in front of him on a foot stool in the solitaire set-up. He moves an ace up and stares at the cards for a little while before flipping three down. Then he moves the cards around again. This continues for ( Read more... )
