[The feed starts, and it's apparent that the woman who is holding the device has no idea that it's turned on. It's caught her in the middle of a string of mandarin - and her tone would very much make it seem as though she is less than happy

Madame, I'm sure someone's already told you where you've... landed. My name is Jim Kirk, and I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have. I'm a relative newcomer here as well, however, but I believe we all need to stick together.

[video]

[notquitegeisha]

That's very kind of you, Mister Kirk. I do have many questions, though I hardly know where to begin, this is all rather confusing.

[video]

[goldn_boy]

Of course. Have you found a place to stay, yet? I should warn you, things tend to... happen here. Without warning, most of them unpleasant. Having a place to call your own is important.

[video]

[notquitegeisha]

No, not yet. I truly haven't moved far from the place I was dropped off at. [She really doesn't want to find a place to stay. She wants to leave. Now.] What sort of things exactly?

[It's the mention of planets that's caught his attention, really.]

The city's just up over the rise from the docks. I'm afraid you won't be able to contact your, ah - guild? From there. These tablets are the only ranged communication devices we have, and they're strictly local.

[Video]

[notquitegeisha]

So I'm finding out. Thank you all the same, Mister....?

[Video]

[turnedroman]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Rory Williams. Please, just - call me Rory.

[He pauses, looking a bit chagrined, then adds,] Have you got any questions that haven't been answered yet?

[Video]

[notquitegeisha]

Very well, Rory. [She smiles warmly at him.] I'm Inara.

Well, I would like to know how to get out of this place. I don't suppose you know how to?

[There's something so gratifying about reading through other people's conversations and discovering everyone thinks he's a troublemaker. Doing something right, he supposes.]

This ain't my fault.

[video]

[notquitegeisha]

[Oh, look who finally shows up. She's trying hard not to show it, but she is truly happy to see him.]

If I hadn't talked to the people I have, I'd be inclined to disagree with you. [Her way of saying that she knows.]

[video]

[aint_comin_back]

[Ain't really his fault the mun fell asleep he doesn't follow the tablet all day every day.]

I s'pose I should be flattered that you think I could pull somethin' like this off.

[video]

[notquitegeisha]

[She gives him a look. You know? One of her 'looks'.]

I never said it would have been all your fault. Perhaps just... partly.

[zerosuitjill]

[Ah, look who's back. Better not to bring that up, though.]

Mal's in the same position as the rest of us -- which you've had explained by now, I see.

[Video]

[notquitegeisha]

[She smiles, well as much as one can smile given the situation.]

So I have heard, numerous times.

[Video]

[zerosuitjill]

[She smiles -- partly polite, partly knowing.] How many of us have hit you as crazy so far?

[Video]

[notquitegeisha]

Truthfully? Most. [She smiles - though it doesn't quite reach her eyes.] I suppose all have gone through the same intial reaction?

[Video]

[savedbyradishes]

[See those black eyes? Yes, Inara, that is an upside-down panda looking so, so excited.]

You speak Chinese, too!

[Video]

[notquitegeisha]

[WHAT THE...?!?!]

Wǒde tiān.... Surely I am dreaming.

[There is NO WAY she is actually talking to a talking panda... Is there?!]

[Video] - yay firefly wiki things...

[savedbyradishes]

Duìbùqǐ! Bàoqiàn! -no! I mean, uh...Bàoqiàn! I usually use the voice because...but I'm...someone else speaks Chinese, I just got overwhelmed! A thousand pardons!

[Video] - LOL IKR?

[notquitegeisha]

[She still doesn't know what to say. Wow. Just... WOW.]

You talk.... I have never meet a talking panda before...
