I don't care; I'm still free

Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Serenity's my ship. If that's all you know, I'm keen to keep it that way. Got work needs doin', we can talk business. But lay a finger on my boat or my crew and we're gonna have a powerful mess of violence to work through. I got no rudder. Wind blows northerly, I go north. That's who I am. Don't much like telling secrets, but I reckon you should know--I aim to misbehave. ((Indie RP for the Firefly character))

ooc: Bedtime for me, if anyone's still on. :3

Mai had been hiding for several days. She was a passenger of a ship when it was attacked by another ship. It crash-landed on an unknown planet. When the people from the other ship boarded hers, she hid. For days, she could hear screams. Finally, things quieted. She slowly emerged.

She was lucky. She didn’t know it, but the ship was attacked by Reavers. They tortured the other members of the ship, and did other unspeakable things. Finally, they took everyone back to their ship and left.

Mai was weak from hunger. She wandered around searching for food. Nearby, she saw a man walking. She tensed, not knowing if he was friend or foe. She cautiously approached him. She kept her hand near a knife strapped to her hip, just in case.

It was just a meaningless rock in a sea of meaningless rocks. But it was near Reaver territory and that had Mal all sorts of worried. But Kaylee was complaining about something sounding wrong with Serenity's engine and it wasn't often the sweet mechanic got insistent. So when she did, Mal listened.

Leaving Jayne to protect the ship, Mal and Zoe had started a perimeter sweep, just to be sure there wasn't anything nasty. No telling how long they'd be downed. Seeing a figure in the distance was not exactly the ideal. Mal shot a quick glance over his shoulder, but Zoe was on her return sweep--nowhere in sight. Looking ahead again, he could tell the person was a woman and walking a bit too well to be a Reaver. One sure way to tell.

"Hey! You alright?"

Seem’s a day for meetin’ new folk. Captain Malcolm Reynolds.

[barneyxxcalhoun-blog]

Hello, mister Reynolds, I’m Sarah Jane Smith. It’s a pleasure meeting you!

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Good to meet you, too. Hope you don’t mind me sayin’, but you don’t look like you’re from ‘round here.

[barneyxxcalhoun-blog]

That’s because I am not. I’m from England, in fact. And I don’t really know where this is. It’s not England, nor the TARDIS, that’s for sure.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Never heard tell of either those places. This here’s Persephone. Mite close to the Alliance for my taste, but fair enough planet. How’sit you don’t know where you are?

[barneyxxcalhoun-blog]

I somehow ended up here. At first I was still in the TARDIS, but then I walked into this room and.. ended up here. Usually I have the Doctor with me, who can inform me of where I am, but this time he is nowhere to be seen.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

...You needin' a doc, I got one on my crew. 'Course, no tellin' where he's run off to now that we're planet-side.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Well, reckon you got the best an’ worse impression, dependin’ what mood y’found little River in.

[runningafoul-blog]

She weren’t so bad. Ain’t had a notion what she was tryin’ ta say. 

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Reckon there’s not a livin’ soul in the ‘verse who does.

[runningafoul-blog]

‘cept maybe her own self, Cap’n Reynolds… but things ain’t all clear in her brainpan, if I’m sussin’ this out right. 

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Nah, I don't think even she rightly knows what goes on. She's...troubled, to say the least. Glad she got on with you. Not much in the way of entertainment for her when we're flyin'.

[soaringleafonthewind-blog]

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

S’a joke, Wash. Don’t worry. Everything’s shiny.

[soaringleafonthewind-blog]

Fang xin. You’re a funny guy, Mal. So, one hour?

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

I'll leave the funny to you, how's that? -nods- One hour.

Ni How, Captain.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Ta ma de! -takes a deep breath- What’ve I told you about sneakin’ up on folk?

[remembertoomuch-blog]

Wasn’t sneaky. You just weren’t listening.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Right. Well, how’s about I open my ears a little more an’ you make a little more noise on those bare feet of yours. Deal?

[remembertoomuch-blog]

Mei Wen Ti. I will make more noise. I was listening for the whispers.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Whispers? These the real sort of whispers or the kind jus’ you get to hear?

[remembertoomuch-blog]

You don’t know how to listen. No needling in your brainpan. Serenity won’t clarify. Just whisper.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Ship's talkin' to you? Well now. Jus' you lemme know if she's distressed, dong ma? Better yet, tell Kaylee.

[runningafoul-blog]

M’Seph. Met your mechanic—girl with the shiny ‘brella? And River. She used more big words’n I could keep up with. We talked about seein’ the stars. 

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Well, reckon you got the best an’ worse impression, dependin’ what mood y’found little River in.

[soaringleafonthewind-blog]

Hopefully she’s just taking her time getting back and it’s not a situation that requires guns a-blazing. That never settles well with me. 

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Haven’t known Zoe to be the strollin’ type, Wash. But even so, she can take care of herself. Jus’ my own impatience I’d be satisfyin’.

[soaringleafonthewind-blog]

And that’s where the not setting well comes into play. I know, I know. I worry. It’s bad for my health.

[misbehavingshipcaptain-blog]

Zoe comes back t’find you done had a stroke or somethin’, I take no blame.

Not a problem. If y’ever are in need of the payin’ sort, Serenity’s my ship. S’the Firefly-class in the port. Do just about anythin’.

Reckon you’re the third folk done mention this ship. Pretty boat, s’far as all that. Hear tell she’s the best. Got myself on a crew, though, so ain’t in need o’ no passage. 

Malcolm Reynolds—I’m the captain. An’ a mite curious who’s been talkin’ about my boat. You run across some of my own crew?
