[ Okay, so he's not wearing a shirt. But he's got his pants and gun belt on, weapons all secure so there's that at least. And he's pissed as he glares at the damn device. ]

This ain't mine.

[ Pause. Shrug. The device is tucked into his pocket. ]

Takin' the gorram thing anyway. If folks're gonna be dumb enough ta leave their things with mine, I ain't lookin' ta give it back. Nice lookin' anyhow. Sell it fer somethin'.

[ Pause. There's shuffling as he puts on his shirt. ]

Right. Got 'em all.

[ Pause. ]

Now where's the gorram ship?

Comments

[be_in_my_bunk]

Good. Ain't no reason for you ta be dealin' with 'em things.

[ Not because you're a woman. Because they're nasty.

Pause. ]

Wait... earth? Ain't possible. Been gone to gorram long anyway. 's why we went out to the 'verse.

[be_in_my_bunk]

Salvation? Ain't no Alliance ship, is it?

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

You show yer face 'round, I'll show how I do got the choice here.

[video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

What kinda trouble does it got? Lotsa fightin'?

[ He's almost giddy about this. ]

[Video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Innuendo went over his head. Sorry, Zevran. Though he might get it later, once he learns what the guy's really like. ]

Yeah, that'd be the point of gettin' a gorram gun - to shoot and kill. Ain't needin' nothin' fancy yet. Just 'nough ta be able to fight. [ Pause. ] Place got jobs I can take ta be able to get guns?

[Video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Jayne smirks. ]

Well, they get ta shootin' around again, I'll be ready. Love 'em gun fights.

[ Or fights in general. ]

Jayne Cobb. Who're you?

[iwanttosettheworldonfire]

[She's heard something close to that before, but it's not so distinctive it makes her think of conversations with Kaylee. To her mind, a screwed-up earth with any good days in the distant past is a default.]

And where I'm from, the sky burned two hundred years ago, but there's still people living there, because we don't exactly have any better options. People wind up here from all kinds of...

[She leans to set down the gun she was cleaning while searching for the right word. A huge, ugly, scarred dog takes the opportunity to jump in her lap.]

Dogmeat, get off. Possibilities! That's what I was thinking. Anything you can imagine, there's someone here from it.

[She shakes her head]

But it's how things are here. Been here over a year now.

[unofficial_ambassador]

No, not an Alliance ship. We're far enough away that they shouldn't be a concern. This is a rescue vessel.

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

You overestimate your capabilities. If you attempt to traverse a rift between the dimensions, you. will. die.

[awol_redranger]

[Andros shrugged and sighed.]

I can come find you and show you how to use it. If you want.

[Honestly, he'd rather not.]

[video]

[erranthero]

Can be. There's creatures out in the wastes, big game to hunt, bandits, and there used to be these freaky bone creatures but I think most of them are gone.

[After, y'know, a team went in and cleaned them out and then Kerra blew up the mountain they all lived in.]

You got a name, tough guy? I'm Kerra. Kerra Holt.

[Video]

[catchingflies]

Uh, okay.

[ ... weirdo. Reminded him of Dukes, kinda, actually.]

Tolansky. Todd Tolansky. You just woke up, huh?

[Way to state the obvious, Toad.]

[threesovereigns]

Tch, [Zevran clucks his tongue with a wave of his free hand.] You may have been a collector, ser. I have seen it for myself -- once a man has his hands on a single piece of fine equipment, he finds himself wanting more.

[But even Zevran can provide useful information from time to time. He decants some now.]

To work in exchange for a gun, I would recommend that you speak with Edmund once you reach the town of Poseidon. If you care for something closer to the ship, there is a woman, Leah, who is the head of the local guardians of the barrier wall. They have been having some difficulties with strayed mountain goats, I am told. Perhaps they would loan you a rifle.

[be_in_my_bunk]

But that ain't even possible.

[ He's gonna slowly process that. ]

Then how we gettin' home? If the ship ain't here then... we gotta steal this one, right? You tryin' ta figure out how this gorram thing works?

Video

[wrench_and_ruffles]

[That's not the half of what needs processing]

Ain't so much stealin' as salvagin'. Me, Kaidan, Tony and Andros are tryin' to get her flyin' again.

Video

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Silence. ]

I supposed ta know who yer talkin' about?

[Audio]

[be_in_my_bunk]

Been told I was gonna die lots'a times and I ain't gone yet. Don't scare me none.

Video

[wrench_and_ruffles]

No, they're folk from the pods from other places. You'll meet 'em soon though. They're good people.

[Of course, Kaylee considers most people to be]

[video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

How often the fightin' happen?

[ He wants to get in the middle of all of it. Especially the exploding things bit. Though he'll need a job to buy the guns he's needing. ]

The name's Jayne Cobb.

[Video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Pause. ]

Guessin' you could say that. Walked right out of one of these pod things. Ain't sure how long I'd been in there. Ain't long, I don't think.

[ He looks around a bit. ]

Where am I?

[Video]

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ Jayne grins a bit. ]

Got me a whole lotta guns back on the ship. Ain't here though, don't sound like. Neither's my money.

[ He's not happy about either. ]

Ain't 'fraid of goin' far, so long as this place ain't got no Reavers. There ain't Reavers here, are there?

[video]

[erranthero]

Often enough. You a mercenary or a soldier?

[Just a vibe.]

And good to meet you, Jayne.

[be_in_my_bunk]

[ The dog doesn't deter from the conversation. He's seen uglier on people. Seems nice enough anyway.

But he's quiet for a moment anyway. ]

That don't make no sense. Where all them folks comin' from if they ain't from the same 'verse. Ain't too many 'verses, are there?

[be_in_my_bunk]

Well it ain't doin' much rescuin' now, is it? What's it doin' out here? Looks all broken.
