Video: In case you HAVEN'T heard

[wrench_and_ruffles]

[The rain has been somewhat limiting Kaylee's activities. While it's not an issue on the ship, it's put a damper on any attempts to go scavenging to work on the apartment/workshop project. But she's quite content to distract herself with other matters. Which is why her smiling face is appearing on the communicator.]

So I reckon a lot of you already know [She giggles at the memory of the commotion by the tanks. And of course Luke hasn't been quiet about it either] but me 'n Luke are gettin' married. So... lotta things to figure out.

Like findin' someone who can perform a ceremony. [Two people from different worlds meeting in a third and marrying in a fourth... she probably shouldn't worry overmuch on the specifics there] And findin' a dress! [She's excited for that one] Anyone know about flowers here? Gotta be just about spring, right?

Can probably get some wine ready in time, at least...

[And then she suddenly realizes] Duibuqi, I'm babblin', ain't I?

I see. In the land I originally came from, a more drawn-out period of engagement was often considered appropriate. But then, it's not entirely uncommon for people to throw such things to the winds in favor of simplicity, either. After all, things here are a little more...rustic.

[Which was probably what Kaylee meant, anyway. But she didn't recognize the lingo, so she couldn't be sure.]

Longer's common if ya need to book fancy halls and arrange for people to come in. Quicker's more common out on the border worlds where I'm from.

Plus, ya never know when somethin' crazy might happen.

When you keep saying it like that, I swear it almost sounds as if you expect your wedding to be attacked by an army. Or something similar.

Well, that'd be more likely if we were still back in Mayfield. Gives ya a certain perspective.

I think that's not the first time you've mentioned this 'Mayfield'. What was it like there?

It was... right creepifyin'. Everyone was in these fake families, and there were people there who insisted it was all real. Even though it would've meant I was havin' babies when I was three. And everythin' was supposed to be all perfect, except then Reavers'd show up or they'd start... experimentin' or somethin' else.

All that bit was finally calmin' down when we wound up here.

That sounds like a nightmare. I can only imagine you must have been pleased to escape.

It's definitely a huge improvement here.

Indeed. Here if nothing else we are free to makes our choices, live our own lives.

We may have had our worlds taken away from us but at least we have the chance to start over. If we want.
