.014 [Accidental video]

[aint_comin_back]

[The feed is accidental; the tablet is sitting on the edge of a console, the image slightly skewed.

The voices that brought him here are forgotten in the face of the stars. Mal sits in a utilitarian bridge, in a pilot's chair. He's not doing much of anything but looking out the large windows to the front.

Mal's finally flying.]

[Insert wtf expression here.]

Mal...?

[aint_comin_back]

[It's like he doesn't quite realize the tablet is there. The answer is distracted and quiet and he doesn't look away from the stars.]

Yeah?

[wasinnocent]

So, where exactly are you?

Video;

[aint_comin_back]

Home.

[Video]

[bluesteelbitch]

[The flying looks completely amazing, for what she thinks of it all, even if it must be an illusion.]

Mal. [The voice is distinctly Mystique's and no one else. Red hair is straight, curling at the edges as she is fresh out of the shower, her lips not yet quite so crimson.] Where are you?

[Video]

[aint_comin_back]

[He doesn't look around, doesn't quite register that someone real is speaking to him. He answers anyway, in a voice that distracted and seemingly content.] Home.

[bluesteelbitch]

[She leans on the couch, ready to exercise patience in the face of illogical protesting.]

Then how is it that those of us who remain in the Underworld can see you upon the tablet as per usual, Captain?

[Video]

[aint_comin_back]

Ain't got a... what'd you say? Tablet? Ain't got one. Where are you?

[Video]

[yearrounder]

[Um. What? How is this even...?]

Captain?

[Video]

[aint_comin_back]

[It's only that fact that she called him 'captain' that gets his attention. Some of it, anyway.] Yeah?

[Video]

[yearrounder]

[Some is better than none.]

Where are you?

[Video]

[aint_comin_back]

Serenity. [That's the best answer he could ever give.]

[morethanafour]

Captain Reynolds?

[Is...that a plane he's sitting in?]

[video]

[aint_comin_back]

Yeah? Problem? [Because that's what people to him with when he's flyin'.]

[video]

[morethanafour]

[No...that's...definitely a space ship...in...space.

So...that's the kind of ship he's a captain of.]

Not...exactly.

[Except you're...experiencing hallucinations that she can see over the tablet. They'd be illusions then, right? The name's not important, just that from her view - it's clearly not real. Apparently Mal doesn't see it in the same light.]

How did you get there?

[video]

[aint_comin_back]

[He shrugs.] I'm where I always been. Ain't a question of how I got here.

[notquitegeisha]

... Mal? [Her eyebrows knit together in concern.] Mal, where are you?

[aint_comin_back]

Where do you think, Inara?

[notquitegeisha]

I know where you think you are... But, Mal, it's not real.

[aint_comin_back]

It's my ship. Serenity's real. Solid.
