Hello :) do you have an open simon tam and/or kaylee frye?

((Oh, we have an open everything m’dear. I’m sorry, but the group has actually disbanded. Has been for some time now, though I’m glad to know there’s still people interested in it!))

[firefly--rp]

((Marooned thread is updated on the group page. Yay for insomnia!))

[firefly--rp]

CREW!

((All right, so...Jayne mun and I were talking earlier and he mentioned that we should totally do a job RP thread soon. Because we haven't really done anything as a whole group yet, since the Griffin and Serenity haven't met at this point.

He came up with an interesting idea about a corrupt companion house that needed Serenity to help with a case of blackmail. I'd like to hear everyone else's ideas as well so we can come up with something.

I don't want this to be anything stressful and it doesn't necessarily need to be anything elaborate, but I want everyone to be able to interact IC since we haven't really done that yet. 

So let's hear what you've got!))

CREW!

Ladies and gentlemen, the man we call Jayne:

Our wonderful friend has decided to join the group after being invited! I know we've all wanted him to, so we skipped the preliminary audition. So go follow him if you don't already, and raise a glass to the hero of Canton!

Hello, just wanted to request you people to take down/delete the blog with Mal's url beacuse we were thinking of setting up one for him pretty soon. He's been cranky while going through the whole recouping thing [that man needs his butt kicked] and getting back online could be a good distraction. And thanks for holding his url and installing those cute messages on it.

of course! the url will be available in about 3 seconds :)

To the recent Nandi auditioner--

We have come to a consensus and would like to speak with you. However, your ask box is not open for one of us to do so.

If you could please either send us another message or open your ask, we would be delighted to get back with you. Thanks!

[firefly--rp]

Hello I hope this is the right page to send this. It is in regards to the Mal you guys have been with [Eric if you may know him] He's been through a car crash recently while getting to Ohio but he has made it through. We had to delete his blog among a lot of other things as his laptop went missing ever since and he didn't want it falling in wrong hands. He is still weak but everyone survived without anything serious. He just wanted to let you know he is okay [Sorry can't reveal personal blog]

(( Oh my god! We've all been really worried about him! Thank you so much for telling us!! I'm so glad to know he and everyone else is okay! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE HIM ALL OUR LOVE. ))

Short Bio (2-3 paragraphs):

Cora Rune would be the first to admit she is a walking cliché of sorts. The only child of wealthy merchant parents living on Ariel that cared more for the their social standing and business dealings than they did for their own daughter is the oldest tale in the book. Actually Cora would also admit that she knows how most people expected this to play out, that the girl would end up a rebellious hell raiser that went out of her way to drive her parents up the wall. But then she would say she did no such thing and instead just stayed far, far away from her family. Nannies would watch her as an infant and throughout her early years and boarding schools that let her skip a few grades did well enough when she was old enough to be packed away, out of her parents sights. They wanted a boy, they got a girl, and Mr. Rune himself had trouble with his part in making a child, so no other attempts were made. They would merely go about their days as if Cora was nothing more than a simple accessory on occasion, while Cora buried herself in books, science, and medicine, resigning herself to the lack of any relationship with the two people that sired her as a fact of life. Her life revolves around school, study, and maybe trying to get away from the stuffy socialite scene she occasionally is dragged into. There is talk of war, but for the most part it does not affect her, even if she thinks that it is pointless slaughter of people who clearly just do not want to be part of the Alliance. Let them be, let them live and be independent, she makes the mistake of saying one day, and learns that maybe she ought to keep her mouth shut like she always does. She buries herself away, makes only a few friends, and strives to work hard, getting early acceptance to university, then medical school. By then the war is over, the Alliance won, and that is the end of her like in the Core.

  Because she wants to help people, she wants to see the rest of the verse, and signs herself up for this program new doctors are do. Running clinics on boarder and rim planets, giving back after everything is destroyed. And it works because she escapes a life she does not want, she gets to leave her parents who by now see her merely as a tool to expand their own reach through marriage, and she helps people, because she likes healing. Only life does not work that way and the clinics keep getting shut down, the changing of hands over ownership, and she finds herself two years in, twenty-six, and getting dragged into the underbelly of the verse. It is a bar fight that drags her into this world. A bar fight, a loudmouth brat as far as she can tell, and the cool eyes of a captain on her as she works to patch up said brat. Thankfully the damage done is enough to tell them all off, that internal bleeding is generally a bad thing, and that waiting too long might have gotten their mechanic killed. And then she asks rather than pay for a ride because her last one sold her out, which was why she was in the bar when the fight broke out in the first place. Looking for a ride or a job, and somehow it was her lucky day. The Griffon, for what it is worth, is small, secure, and she joins the crew on a temporary basis. And temporary turns into a good year and a half, and the realization that this is her new family. Lany, she’s a brilliant pilot, adorable, and clearly can outmatch anyone she sees, if Cora had anything to say. And Chase, well, he’s like that annoying brother that laugh at but still hug in the end. Even if he was a womanizer and needed a smack in the head or two. Vera who put up with everything and got them the job, she was amazing too. Jack who kept their captain in line, reminding him the war was over, who ran the ship when their captain couldn’t, kept things running smooth. And finally there was Aedan himself, captain, stubborn, witty, and hater of all things Mr. Pounce, who gave her a chance and had to be patched up on more than one occasion. She’s happy with them, happier than she ever was back on Ariel.

  The call comes in though, an offer, a new clinic needs a doctor because the last one left without a word, some job offer in the Core, and Cora takes a week to decide without telling the others of this development. So she teaches Vera some of what she knows, enough to get them through a month, maybe two or three without her, because this job is big and there are children there who need her help. And Cora finally breaks her silence, telling Aedan, promising to come back when the stint is over and the Griffon can get their doctor back.

  She gets to the clinic and the day after the story of Miranda breaks, and somehow it doesn’t surprise Cora very much. But she has no time for rebellion, not when a three year old is hacking up blood and the mother has no idea why.

  Personality:

It’s easy to think she might just be another pretty, shallow Alliance girl when you look at her. Sure, soft, clean clothing, it makes sense with her smooth hands and barely any scars or tragic back story to tell. But dismissing her right away would not do justice to the woman that gave up a comfortable lifestyle to be thrust into broken down, backwaters clinics, rough patients who would rather see her run away in tears, and a stubborn streak to put anyone else to shame. Cora run, for what it is worth, maybe be quiet, may enjoy curling up under the covers of blankets with a good book, and may enjoy just helping others because that is what she does. But it does not make her weak and it certainly does not make her a pushover. Because she is a stubborn bitch when she wants to be. When she needs something done damn right she will get it done, and it will be done the right way, correctly, or else she would start all over till there was nothing short of perfection. It may get her into her head a few times. A yelling match between her and her (former) captain about staying safe and not running head-first into danger all the damn time, it was definitely common. But she does it because she cares so much, with a big heart. On the flip side sometimes she cares too much, bottling up her own needs and desires in favor of others. She hides her hurt behind soft smiles and witty words, deflects when pressed, and clams up when pressed. She’s not a fan of violence, what doctor is after all, and takes it in stride, biting back her tongue unless the idea in mind will cause more harm than good. But she’s a loyal person to those who earn it, such as the former Griffon crew, and she’ll do her best to make sure she can keep those she cares about out of death’s way.

  In-Character Para sample, min. 3 paragraphs:

She should have expected it. Bad things always came in threes. Curled up in the bunk and wrapping blankets around her, she tired to think of the signs, putting them all in order

  It started that morning, just before the good doctor was about to open up ship. The clinic had gotten news that there were no more funds and was going to be shut down, that the few nurses and lone doctor were going to need to find new work. That happened in the morning and while Cora knew that it was just the way her life went, it still stung. Not so much for her, she could get another job, but for the small town in the rim planet the clinic was based out of. Clearly, she thought, someone thought the town was not important enough for there to be a fulltime doctor in town. Her stint was only supposed to be temporary anyway, but still, it hurt to think that it was all for nothing, that there was no replacement coming.

  The second happened shortly after lunch when she had found a local conman raiding the supplies. Vaccines only were worth so much and it had taken every bit of patience not to castrate the intruder. Thankfully local authorities arrived and escorted the looter out, not before he had said a few choice words about Cora’s appearance or lack of willingness to be company like some of the older, unmarried ladies that stuck around. Those stores would not be restocked again and he had caused enough damage that she knew it would only hurt the further ailing settlement.

  The third? Well, that was the worst.

  When the news came that The Griffon was missing, because keeping tabs on a crew that was like family, well, she had stored out after throwing a glass against the wall. Maybe it could have been expected but she still kept up with some of the old smuggling contacts (they were good to get supplies when dealing with Alliance-based merchants like her own father drove her to drink on a good day, let alone when things were touch and the money she had was dwindling down when spent on supplies) and one had messaged her in the middle of dinner. Cora leaves the table then, the surprised faces of the nurses  blurs as she walks out into the cool night, and thinks damn, damn you God for this before letting out a scream. A scream rips from her lips and she falls to her knees, praying for the first time in years. A prayer for her loved ones, a prayer that they are all alive, and a prayer that they are safe. When they find her she’s shaking.

  One nurse, Lulu she thinks, drags her back into the clinic and leads her into her room, wrapping soft, thick blankets and leaving the doctor to her own thoughts.

  “I have to find them,” comes out in a whisper unheard by everyone but Cora herself.

  Extra: So I lurked this tumblr page for a while and was contemplating joining, then the person who plays Aedan Calhoun appeared and I’ve rped with him before, same characters etc. and it was just like fate. Because I’m joining after talking to him and everything. It’s all good.

When you apply, do you need to have a tumblr account already set up or can you apply, then make the blog?

You can apply on any blog you want, you don’t have to make anything unless you’re accepted :)

Hello, m'dears. Sorry I've been inactive for so long. It would appear as if this RP has blossomed again while I've been away, and I would like to say hello to the new members. I am active again, and y'all can find me here. Feel free to drop me an ask if you want to start a thread, or want me to hop on one, or want to develop plot, or just want to talk. Again, hello to the new members, and welcome back to the old. I look forward to joining in the fray again!
