One good thing about Serenity's change from spaceship to manor house was the large room full of toys: dolls and toy soldiers, a child sized table and chairs with a large fancy tea set, marbles and tops and skipping ropes, a rocking horse, an elaborate doll house, and small clockwork train that circled the room ( Read more... )

It's been a few days and Wolf still doesn't like what's happened to the island ( Read more... )

The latest round of Island Council elections were finished, and I once again had the job of posting the results to the Compound bulletin board:

It's been a belief he's held true his whole life - that the devil will find work for idle hands. He can't say he's ever been a pious man, not ever soft in a religious sort of way. He couldn't ever bear the sermons that Book would try to pass, on Haven or off it, but he also knows that he's seen the devil, from time to time, in human form and he ( Read more... )

River was still a bit shellshocked from last week's stuffed animal attacks, but she was doing her best to get back to normal.

River always did love to dance. And even though she still wasn't really convinced that she was the best person to teach others how to do anything, she did love her dance classes. She worked really hard, and most of her students did try to keep up with her even if she didn't always remember that it might not be as easy for them as it was for her ( Read more... )

There was a reason the direwolf was the sigil of House Stark: sheer stubbornness. Jon had run across that many times before now, certainly, but it was never quite so evident as when Ghost had managed to streak his fur with dirt and leaves and bits of gore from some kill in the jungle (monkey, Jon suspected, not that he'd ever seen one outside of a ( Read more... )

River didn't watch the television in the rec room very often; nobody knew where where it got its signal from, and she didn't trust it not to be dangerous. Still, sometimes it caught her attention and, increasingly as she grew older, Zoe's. Today they were both held enthralled by something called "The Muppet Show ( Read more... )
