Drabble "Pause"
Drabble for the ever delightful goldy_dollar, and her prompt of Inara being bored and becoming addicted to a video game. I'm pretty damn certain it's not what she envision. I don't even know quite what this is. But it's... something?
Mal. Inara.
Post-Serenity.
Not really fluffy, not really not.
Blergh. Very pointless and weird.

Go outside, honey.
I think he next step is going to be weight lifting with Jayne. *G*
Also? I LOVE that icon! :D

I can't promise anything. ;) The main problem being that I know ZERO about weight lifting.
I'm awful fond of this icon too. Only thing better than Inara with tea is drunk!Inara. *g* Thanks!
There needs to be SO much more of that! *G*

I do love Tetris. It's a timeless, addicting classic. Especially when you end up dreaming Tetris dreams.

I have *been* Inara!
*fond, fond memories of Tetris*
Oh how I remember my first experience, when a fellow at school informed me that if I played, I'd get addicted, and when I went to sleep that night I'd see little superimposed images of the blocks falling behind my eyelids. I scoffed! I played! And when I went to bed that night - gasp - there they were, little 'L' shapes and 'T' shapes and all the rest, falling, falling, falling....
Oh how I love tetris!!! *G*
hehehe *giggles so over this fic*
This was so cute and fun and utterly TRUE! *GRIN*
Heheheh... and of course, this night would be something they 'DO NOT TALK ABOUT' *G* and I could just see the crew all curious as to what went on in her shuttle that night, and of course, drawing the completely wrong conclusion *giggle* But they might just prefer that....
Yay for Rouka!drabbles!

Bwah! I hadn't even thought of that. Of course, it's a little sad, or was supposed to be, but something tells me in the morning they'd feel weirdly at peace, both afflicted, both sleepy, both blah about the world... And they would SO preferr the raunchy rumors to the truth!
"I fell asleep while Mal played Tetris", just doesn't have that whole... coolness to it. *G*
Yay for Rouka!drabbles!
Thank you. :) It's nothing much, but I tried, so I'm glad. :D

It is! And the music, I can hear it now.... Of course you know I'm going to have to go home a play tetris now, and it's all your fault! One time my brother and I rented a two player tetris, with two screens at the same time, and you competed against each other... it was the coolest version ever, but I never saw it again after that time *is sad*

*eg* Yeah, not so much....
I wonder though, would they start to get competative? What happens when Mal reaches leve 25 before Inara??! And HIS name is in the highscore?? Inara will Not.Be.Pleased. I think *GRIN*

It's lovely, and always so wonderful to see you writing something *hearts*

I'm so influential! Powerrrr!!

Never going to happen!! He's just no dexterous enough. And he knows she would kill him before she knew it, and then she'd be sorry and sad and he doesn't want that, I think. So. He'll always lose at 24 so they have something in common!
Me, in a fluffy mood? Whatever gave you the idea?

It was funny and cute, and so, so, so sad, too. The hedging to talk around the Real Issue.
Mal is equal parts annoying and endearing, flying them into starvation just to keep Inara away from other people just a little longer. *sniff*
"Bwah!"
She whirled around with such ferocity that the only response he felt it in himself to give was an equally heart-felt, "Bwah!"
That was so cute! Surprised in the same way! It must be Meant To Be! *flailing*
It sort of reminds me of how they nearly said the exact same thing after being hit with Saffron's lip!poison in OMR. You know, before the passing out kicked in.
And tetris!Inara. It reminds me of my experience playing Super Mario this weekend. The whole foregoing personal health and heigyne and contact with other people until you move onto the next level thing!
And now she roped in Mal as well. That'll sure help him find a job!
THANK YOU! *squishy hugs*

Yeah. It was going to be funny, but then they went this way. The noon energy low might have had something to do with that...

I think she broke his heart a little (again...) when she casually anounced her newest client meeting when he'd been hoping things would change, and now he doesn't have the words and Inara is very busily trying not to see it so she can keep earning her own way and because she figures the ball is in his court. It's all very stupid.

Yozu know what? I never noticed that! Huh! :D Just proves my theory thatthey're so very similar at heart. Whee!

Well, it was funny! Very funny! But with Levels. Which are important. I call it a success!

*little Goldy heart wibbles*
But!!! Doesn't she know that the whole brink-of-starvation strategy IS a signal?! It's all so hopeless. *sigh*
Apparently there is not a one on my flist who hasn't been there.
I find that oddly reassuring!
"Just a minute, just until I... YES YES, level 13!!"
"Sir!"Heh! And then they avoid capture by throwing the game at, I don't know, Niska or something, which sufficiently distracts him while they escape ( ... )

Yes, but it's so indirect! Why won't he say anything? Why not committ? (Nevermind that she hasn't either.) What's stopping him? Does he still disrespect all her life choices? Is it something else? And how can she make life-changing choices if he won't give a clear signal? *drama*
Heh! And then they avoid capture by throwing the game at, I don't know, Niska or something, which sufficiently distracts him while they escape!
And Niska will starve because none of his goons dare interrupt him while he's playing!!
But then Mal and Inara have nothing to play and bond over, and that is sad.
They can bond over the jitters of withdrawal and the snide mocking from the crew?
Never! In fact, I think I shall memory it. There is so little good fic out there! Must savour every itty bit!
Awwww. You're so good for my ego. *G*

Very cute, in an obsessing kind of way. Love Inara's eyetwitch. Being lulled to sleep by peaceful video games ... the sweetness!
I am writing this from a computer with a stubborn spacebar, so I can't write more, but yay!

They'd never choose war-like games. Inara would feel disturbed and Mal would just complain about the lack of realism. It just wouldn't work.
OMG. The crew playing "Cranium"!!! They would by equal turns die and kill each other and River would hate everyone because they won't let her play.

Sadness and understanding.
