Space Traveler's Meetin'

[tightpantscapn]

Mal'd taken down the notice 'bout the meetin' earlier that morning, when he'd actually got it in hisself t' go up t' the compound n' fetch some breakfast for him n' the crew. The mindset had been that it'd more'n likely be tastier than the...food...Kaylee'd try t' concoct in their kitchen. Girl was a gorram genius when it came t' engine-fixin'

River was still very subdued and withdrawn, and not much in a mood for socializing. But Mal had been planning for this meeting since before Simon and Wash had disappeared (After was not something she was ready to contemplate in much detail.) and it was important to him, so she wouldn't have missed it for anything. She sat quietly in the sand, leaning back against the ship that comforted her just with its presence. "Ain't goin' nowhere, myself," she murmured, knowing Serenity already knew that, if a ship could be said to know things.

Simon hadn't ever loved Serenity like River did, and she thought maybe Wash had just loved Zoe more. For herself, River loved Mal and the ship a was part of him, and she had no reason to ever leave either of them. The island would have a hell of a fight on its metaphorical hands if it ever tried to get rid of her, she had decided. Didn't seem like today was that day, however

Toby hadn't had any intention of going to the Space Traveler's Meeting, not being a space traveler, himself. But somehow, after a morning in the council office, he'd taken a walk and ended up near the Serenity, and decided to loiter. Maybe there wouldn't just be a lot of science fiction heroes. Maybe there's be a NASA member or two. Maybe someone who knew his brother.

Also, he's been deemed a traitor and fired from his position at the White House by breaking national security for the cause of keeping space from becoming just another armed warzone. This didn't make him feel like he had a right to be there, but it made him curious.

Duo loved these things. He'd brought Deathscythe out of the trees and stood the 50 foot tall suit a small distance away from Serenity so they could talk, and then gone down to join the crowd. He was wearing a sign on his back that said "ask me about my Gundam", just kind of to see if anyone would.

Duo was in a phenomenal fucking mood, and had been poking around looking for Wash until Mal made his speech. Now he was half-wary of what a conversation with Serenity's captain would bring.

So, I'm not going to lie, but this spaceship hardly looks like it ever stood a chance at being airborne, much less doing any good at it. But still, I'm curious and I tap about the edges of this, well, thing, checking it out. Now I'm not exactly a typical space traveller if this is what they are judging by, because well, man, tessering is kind of a lot simpler. Takes up less room.

Still this isn't, that bad. "Not bad at all," I murmur, wondering if they have any schematic printouts I could checkout. I just have to remember not to mention the part about the alternate version of the past when I ask for them. Right. Right.

Jayne thought this whole "meeting" thing was kinda dumb - why not just have a regular ol' shindig and have done with it? And what made folks who traveled in the black any more special than folks who didn't? He didn't care one way or the other. His ma had never set foot on a gorram spaceship, and ain't nobody could say she wasn't something special.

Still, he thought he might as well be sociable and help Mal and the rest play host. Folks were coming 'round to see his ship, and his ship was the only home he had. Anyway, it might take his mind off Wash. So he loitered near the airlock smoking a cigar, hoping that nobody would try to sneak aboard.
