Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"
throwsdown: (aw yea)

[His smile strengthens, and he steps even closer now.]

I'm Takeshi, miss! I'm the captain of the SS Golden.

I'm glad we got a new engineer; the last one was no good.

... He was real mean and took stuff apart that he shouldnt'a.
hot4engines: (eager)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-10-16 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
... captain? [Kaylee repeated the word, with a little incredulity. ... Maybe Takeshi just liked to pretend he was Captain? That had to be it, she reasoned.] I betcha you're a great one, too.

[Kaylee then shook her head.]

Now that's dangerous. You need to know what you're doin' when you takes stuff apart, so you can put it back together, or else your whole crew could be falling out of the sky.

Captain!

[He repeats it back eagerly, puffing his chest a bit.]

I try to do my best, ma'am! I didn't really plan t'be a captain but I don't mind it, s'long as I do a good job for my crew! [He nods, continuing in deeper thought.] It's really important to be careful in space. Lots of people don't understand that! You don't want any explosions or fire, or to break the walls, 'cus there's no air outside. It could be baaad. Real, real bad.
hot4engines: (full of sunshine)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-10-24 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm sure you do an awesome job at it, or else they wouldn't have let you have it in the first place. [Yep, Kaylee was just going to keep telling herself for now that Takeshi liked to pretend to be captain, because the alternative was rather depressing.]

Yeah, I've been through explosions on a ship before. It's scary, so I do everything I can to stop that from happening. I've been working on ships all my life, so I've got lots of experience at it.
throwsdown: <user name=bushyeyebrows> (What did one shepherd say to the other?)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-10-28 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't really get picked, but I'll do my best...!

[He blushes, looking at his feet. He does worry that he won't be good enough for the others.]

I've been around explosions, too. I was on a ship as big as a whole city that crashed!
hot4engines: (:D)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-10-31 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaylee gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.]

Whoa, really? The crashin' part is scary, but I've never been on one of those big city-size ships before. That was always for rich folks and Alliance people.
throwsdown: (YEAH MOTHERFUCKER YEAH)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-11-04 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks curious — because she clearly knows her stuff.]

For rich folks? I don't think anybody rich'd like this one... It had monsters in it!
hot4engines: (erf)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-11-07 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Man, monsters woulda livened up their lives a bit. Thankfully we never had no monsters back home. [Just Reavers, but, well, this poor child didn't need to know about them.] But yeah, rich folks was the only people who could afford to live on a big cruise liner or city ship.
throwsdown: (rockin)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-11-17 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
Rich folks... I never been rich before! That's people who can buy all kinds of toys, huh?

And who have more than one room in their house! And don't sleep in the living room!
hot4engines: (finger bite)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-11-18 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[THIS POOR CHILD, Kaylee thinks. What kind of life has he led? She'll definitely have to look out for him.]

Uh-huh, folks who got a lot of money. And they can afford real food instead of protein all the time.
throwsdown: (pic#10103501)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-11-24 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Be makes a 'bleh' face at the mention of protein.]

Well, you can make lots of credits here! But it's credits you get from the bad guys, so I dunno how great that is... But at least you can buy good food if you don't like the stuff on the ship!
hot4engines: (eh heh heh)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-11-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
From the bad guys- you mean Atroma? Shoulda figured there'd be a catch.
throwsdown: (pic#9441400)

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-11-29 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives a firm nod. Clearly, not a fan of Atroma.

At all.]


They pay us money 'cus they... watch us on cameras and stuff. And make us a TV show.

I don't know why people'd like to watch us on a show, though.
hot4engines: (finger bite)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-11-29 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the part that's bafflin' me more than anything. I mean, I'm good at fixing ships so I have a useful skill, but do that many people really enjoy watching me be a mechanic? Don't make no sense at all.

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-12-01 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno... Maybe they really do just got real boring lives...
hot4engines: (peeking)

[personal profile] hot4engines 2016-12-02 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Seems as good an explanation as any. They're bored and got lots of money and nothin' better to spend it on.
