INTERLUDE: “Have Yourself a Shèngdàn jié kuàilè”
“The lights are too gorram bright.”
Jayne narrowed his eyes disapprovingly at the makeshift Christmas tree assembled in a corner of the kitchen.
“Oh, c’mon, Jayne! I think they’re pretty and twinkly!” Kaylee cooed happily.
“Them damn things are gonna be twinklin’ in my brain all night.”
“Well, at least something will be happening up there,” Zoe deadpanned.
“Very funny.”
“Try not starin’ at ‘em, Jayne; seems that’s the ideal solution,” Mal Reynolds offered, to which Jayne offered nothing more than a frustrated grumble before dropping into a chair.
“Where’s all the popcorn I was going to string up on the tree?” Kaylee asked.
“River...um...ate all of it,” Simon replied awkwardly.
“It was crunchy and needed salt,” River commented.
“Never did quite understand that custom, honestly,” Mal chimed in. “Seems a tree isn’t the ideal place to be hangin’ snacks.”
“Well, I’m makin’ another batch, then, and NO EATING IT this time,” Kaylee commanded.
Mal noticed Zoe grow quiet before turning away from the others. The squabbling between the others stopped abruptly as Mal approached Zoe and found her quietly crying. Zoe quickly wiped the tears and did her utmost to compose herself.
“Sorry. I was just - “
“Zoe,” Mal interrupted, waving his hand to dismiss her apology as unnecessary, “You are, without doubt or hesitation, the strongest one of my little family here...but you don’t always need to be.” Mal approached and rested a comforting hand upon her shoulder. “I miss him too...every day.”
“So do we, Zoe,” Inara said, approaching her and wrapping an arm around her waist for a hug.
“The ship misses him too,” River said softly. “I feel its heart ache for him...and mine.” She began to sniffle, and Simon took her into his arms for a comforting hug.
“Some days are easier than others. Christmas, though...” Zoe let out a sigh that expressed her emotional struggle all too clearly.
“Ain’t easy bein’ reminded of who we’ve lost on a day when we want our loved ones ‘round us,” Mal observed. “There’s only so much joy an’ merriment that can cover up that kind of hurt. But we carry on and we bring them back to us through memories...like Wash dressed as the thinnest Santa I’ve ever seen.”
Zoe burst out laughing amid her tears. “I told him to grab a pillow to simulate Santa’s belly.”
“’The man carries toys all over the galaxy; that can’t be good for the ticker,’“, Mal quoted Wash’s comment. “What did he say? Oh, yeah...”’I’m promoting a healthier yuletide’.”
Zoe laughed again, and this time, so did Mal, for well over a minute, before calming down and smiling.
“He made the best damn egg nogs I ever drank,” Jayne recalled. “An’ I ain’t even like egg nog.”
“That’s cuz he loaded them with real whiskey,” Kaylee observed. “A lot of it too. Wait!! We still have the bottle! I’ll make some for us; things’ll get very festive.”
“Little Kaylee, this is why we love you...well, one of the numerous reasons.” Mal smiled before looking at Zoe and his family. “Wash is always with us; him and the Shepherd; in every star we follow to find our next job, in every quiet moment of reflectin’, and in every twinkling light on that tree, blindin’ Jayne’s eyes.”
Zoe burst into laughter again, followed by Mal, and then the rest of the crew...save for Jayne, who rolled his eyes.
“How jolly can ya get?”
Closed RP with [youaretalkingtoadoctor]
Captain Mal Reynolds trudged from his bunkroom towards the bridge of Serenity, barely suppressing a yawn. “Gorram it,” he muttered,” how anyone can sleep a full night and wake up still feelin’ sleepy is beyond my realm of ponderin’.”
When he stepped foot on the bridge, Mal found River in the pilot’s seat, quietly whispering to herself. The usual dull ache of grief over the absence of Wash settled in and dissipated just as quickly as he sat down in the seat to her right.
River stopped whistling, leaned forward and smiled.
“What do ya hear, little albatross?”
“The stars,” River replied softly, contentedly. “So many of them to welcome us and point our way...”
“Right.” Mal couldn’t think of what else to say. “Well, if one of ‘em happens to let somethin’ slip about a possible job, get directions and take us there. Until then, I have a mighty need for coffee.”
As Mal stood to make a beeline for the kitchen, Jayne appeared in the doorway, holding up a metal cup. “Last cup, Cap’n.”
“Figures,” Mal sighed, inching past Jayne while giving him a slap on the shoulder. “Once I’m finally awake, remind me to shoot you out the airlock.”
Jayne smirked and took a sip from the cup. “Oh!” Jayne called out, suddenly remembering. “The doc asked to see ya. Got somethin’ he wants, I reckon.”
“Of course he does,” Mal grumbled as he made his way to the lower deck and into the sickbay.
“Mornin’, doctor. A little Jayne tells me you’re eager to bend my ear. As long as you have a needle full of industrial-strength caffeine, I’m up for hearin’ ya,” Mal said only half-jokingly.
“I do the job, and then I get paid. Go run your little world.” RULES | VERSES
“I’m not that weak little girl you once knew, i’ve grown stronger. So let me be crystal clear: You talk bad about my brother I don’t need a card game to beat you my fist in your face will do a better job of breaking your damn teeth in.”

CHECK OUT OUR NEW AFFILIATE: SERENITY ROLEPLAY
Serenity is a state of being in peace with oneself or one’s surrounding. A feeling most desire for, for a moment of forever. A taste so divine and so worth everything there is to offer in the world, but ever so rare. Almost like a warm cup of tea that even the burn warms up your whole chest, bringing you to a state of tranquility. But sometimes, serenity doesn’t always come in quietness and or calmness. Sometimes the chaos of dozens of people screaming, hysterical laughing, squealing, tripping, squawking, choking, dancing, and crying brings the feeling of home in our hearts. And this is what we can offer for you.
