008 [Location: Kaylee's bunk] [Visual]
Sleep, if Brigitta didn't need it she probably would forsake it altogether- she could be using the time for learning more Spanish or trying out yet another foolhardy sport, instead of just sitting there in pointless REM stuff; that won’t help her fight demons or be as fit as humanly possible will it? She can’t even be conscious to enjoy it!
…She isn’t logical at all, so sue her.
In fact: the only thing she really likes about sleep is the bit just before she wakes up fully; the bit where she can believe whatever she likes and plan another relaxed day of working out and doing nothing… Perfect, this morning should be no different- a lovely day of nothing at all; with everything as it should be.
…Until she rolls over in a wonderfully sleepy way and comes face to face with a strange woman- who was definitely not there at midnight “Ahh!”
Aaaand she promptly falls out of the bed… Which isn’t hers either when she actually stops to think about it, weird.
Well, there’s only one thing to say in this situation “what the...”
Hi Kaylee!

Hi Kaylee!
no subject
But one thing she doesn't do is go to bed with someone she doesn't even know the name of. That's just a bit creepy really. Even if she were to ask a boy whore to bed she'd make good and sure to know his name.
So waking up to the sounds of someone - a female someone - falling stunned off her small bed?
Not good. Really not good. Especially considering she didn't even have a single drink last night so that explanation (random acts of drunkeness) doesn't even work!
"Tama de!" She quickly sits up and looks down at the woman. "How's ya get in here?!"
no subject
Which is what makes this even more weird, including the faintly strange setting.
"I don't know!" She yelps from the floor, realising with a feeling of faint dread that she only has a tiny knife under her shirt- which is really not good if the demons come calling "I just woke up here, which really isn't... Wait, where are we? Is this still Taxon?"
Poor Brigitta, she's noticed Serenity in the sky but she's never really paid any attention beyond that- she has little idea of what it actually looks like inside (not that she'll worry for long)
no subject
"Far's I know we're still sittin' dirtside on Taxon. An' this here's my bunk on Serenity." Which isn't that easy for a newcomer to the ship to find without some kind of help. So why's this one here?!
no subject
"...I don't think you've kidnapped me, and I haven't picked up sleepwalking" she frowns, looking rather puzzled by all this.
no subject
"Uh ... I'm Kaylee. Kaylee Frye." Introductions would probably be good, if awkwardly late though that's not their fault.
[ooc; one thing about caps from this show is so many are just so annoyingly dark e.e]
no subject
Ah well, Kaylee hasn't stabbed her yet so she's nice enough, any day where painful death is not the end result has to be at least a little good "Nice to meet you, I'm Brigitta... I, don't actually have a last name but, uh, yeah- Brigitta works well enough."
Awkward greetings are awkward.
[OOC: Ah dark caps, they are very mean]
no subject
"How come ya don't got a last name?"
no subject
"...Well, 'S kind of complicated- I sort of come from a place where they didn't really use last names."
no subject
"But what'd happen if ya knew two folks with the same name? Someone'd go by somethin' else?" She pauses. "... that floor ain't that comfy." This she knows for a fact.
no subject
That she remembers, Brigitta's memory is a rather elusive creature.
At the floor comment she frowns for another moment and then scrambles up, shrugging again in a rather carefree way "I've had worse, a little more comfort wouldn't be bad though."
no subject
Name pondering aside though, she scoots a bit over to make a bit of sitting room on her bed. Brigitta's already been on it so this isn't all that big of a deal anymore.
"Ya got your house or somethin' here at Taxon? I think Serenity's all manner of comfy." Well, except for maybe the floor for backs that aren't used to it of course. "But I reckon gettin' ya back to your bed'd be better for ya." Yes Kaylee feels a bit bad about Brigitta hitting the floor.
no subject
She isn't completely dumb.
"Yeah, got a bed anyway" Brigitta nods, scratching at her head absently "a nice bed; although here is lovely... Actually, I think I may be late getting up- what time d'you think it is?"
She'll attempt leaving when she finds out the time, if it's any time after at least six Am she's overslept and shall be very disappointed with herself... She's far too much of a morning sort of person.
no subject
"Um ... I ain't got a clue." She looks around for her tablet since that's obviously on local time. Thankfully it's just over near her pillow since sometimes she's poking at it, trying to figure out how it ticks or just seeing if anyone she knows pops up, until she nods off with it in her hand.
"'s 'round nine fifteen."
[ooc; random time woo! XD]
no subject
She crinkles her nose slightly at that and sighs, that's late for Brigitta- not so late as to have her gasping and going all wide eyed but late enough to not be good "...About four hours late, at least it isn't six and I suppose it isn't that bad; I'm not too far behind."
On doing nothing Brigitta, good job.
no subject
"Ya sure it's gonna be okay?" Hopefully Kaylee could help Brigitta out somehow. She didn't really have anything planned for the day aside from eating and either doing some walking around or tinkering in the engine room.
[ooc; lol XD probably kill me too cos I used to get up really late on weekends (can't right now cos of class and rehearsal XD;)]
no subject
"...Possibly, hardly a normal day after all- I'm sure one morning won't count" it might lead to her getting up at something like one in the morning and starting her exercises then but for now it doesn't matter- best not to worry anybody without any chance explosions after all "Haven't you missed anything?"
no subject
She shrugs. "Nope. Got no plans to be missin'. 'sides gettin' some breakfast in me." As if to emphasize her point her stomach does a lovely little grumble in protest of the lack of food in it. "Don't reckon one day'd hurt ya at all though. Should be good to get a break from it yea?"
[ooc; yes they are omg (*clings*)]
no subject
Her face goes a little sceptical at the break comment but she sighs and nods anyway, then starts looking hungry- food does sound rather good right now; not that food doesn't sound god at any time "breakfast sounds good actually, wanna go down to a hatch or something?"
no subject
"Why go out to a hatch? We got plenty of food here on Serenity!" She pauses a little before continuing sheepishly. "'cept a lot of it came right from the hatches down the way. But 's real nice having all the fruits an' stuff without payin' a lotta cashy money for 'em."
no subject
"D'you?" And her eyes have gone slightly shiny "fruit is yummy... Y'don't mind or anything? I wouldn't want to steal after all."
Meaning: she wouldn't care in most situations but Kaylee is nice so she supposes she can be nice for a bit.
no subject
"Yep! Got some real good fruit. I got a lotta it myself." Which means it's all epically awesome and yummy. "An' I don't mind one bit! It ain't stealin' if I'm offerin' it." Kaylee knows this for a fact as she has much experience herself with stealing (and many different styles of it too).
no subject
Make her face very interested; yummy free fruit? This is almost the best day ever; if it wasn't for the weird waking up thing and the fact that she might be faintly bruised she would be crowning it the best day in the world (well, in Taxon anyway) though that could still be influenced either way... "D'you have strawberries?"
no subject
"'course there's strawberries. They're my favorite." She's really excited now and eager to get moving because now the sooner they at least move toward the ladder and door the sooner they can get to chowing down on a breakfast of strawberries and ... other stuff.
If Kaylee had known what would happen when she moves a certain number of feet away from Brigitta she would've slowed. Instead she's up and walking toward the door with a cheerful "come on!" when a full body, brain numbing pain sets in and sends her falling to her knees.
[ooc; :< I don't like this bit of discovery about the twin-glitch ;;]
no subject
"Really? Brilliant, I love them- best fruit ever in my opinion" ...Of course, the best day ever title will have to be taken away the moment the horrible pain steps in- that does not make a good day at all; that makes a downright awful day.
Luckily she just about manages to stay on her feet; although she does end up doubling over and swaying a little; before stumbling forward... And the pain disappears again; which leaves Brigitta staring at her feet in a rather incredibly disapproving sort of way.
"...Wha?" Wow, she's so eloquent.
[OOC: ;; I know; it seems so mean to be hurting such bouncy people]
no subject
When she's calm enough she raises her head to see if Brigitta's okay.
"I ... dunno." She's just as eloquent.
[ooc; ;; they're supposed to be bouncy not all AAAA PAIN D8 that's just wrong /smishes them]
no subject
She straightens slightly and takes a few staggering steps forward; frowning slightly as the pain fails to reappear- not that she likes pain (well, not the completely horrific kind at least) but it's odd that it isn't being routine; thus she shall be suspicious.
"...That was odd" it's like a verbosity party.
[OOC: Yesss; they're too bouncy and chipper and nice to be in horrible pain ;; /Joins you]
no subject
"'Odd' kinda works. So's 'creepy'. An' all manner of wrong." Go Kaylee. She managed way more words that round.
[ooc; they need bouncy happy with strawberries ;;]
no subject
...Well, she's had worse theories.
"Yeah, it isn't nice" she frowns at the air and for a moment it looks like the words have gone back to the beginning, but it appears that she isn't quite done "wonder what caused it; don't have any hidden blades on the floor do you?"
...Obviously the theme for today is strawberry ninjas.
[OOC: It is their natural state ;;, BOUNCY PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE MISERBALE- it must violate universal law or something]
no subject
"Why would I go havin' blades on my bunk floor? I like walkin' 'round barefoot in here!" Look down Brigitta. Her point is proven by her lack of footwear and in fact there's a lack of footwear in the entire bunk except over by the ladder entrance/exit. It's sort of Asian in a way - she clearly tends to take her shoes off near the 'door'.
Mostly because she has grease and other lovely things on the bottoms of her shoes that is a total bitch to clean off of her bedding when they're traveling all the time.
"It ain't cos of anythin' in here. Think it's all tied with you bein' here in the first place?"
[ooc; hee. natural state: bouncy happy. if not in natural state - panic. or bring strawberries. I THINK IT DOES VIOLATE SOME LAWS. MAYBE EVEN A FEW REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES. IN OTHER UNIVERSES TOO ;; /clearly needs to lay off eating candy at night]
no subject
...There still might be demons involved though.
"Dunno; maybe- Taxon does that a bit I think" she wrinkles her nose in a extremely disapproving way- it doesn't even have the decency to confront her head on "...D'you think we can fix it?"
Preferably through stabby things, or explosions.
[OOC: THAT SOUNDS A GOOD PLAN seriously; Brigitta calms down a little once strawberries are presented- less chance of sudden stabbity for all! :DD. D: THIS IS VERY BAD; EVEN IF RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT! ;; /obviously needs to join you]
no subject
"Hmmm ... maybe? Dunno where to start an' far as I can see there ain't any mechanical bits for me to go pokin' at to fix this stuff. I don't think this's cos of the tablets. Proddin' at those does nuthin'." Yes, she's tried, and failed, on the 'dissect the tablet' front. And she's disappointed about that one still.
"Don't think we'll be fixin' it from down in here. We might need tools an' I keep all my best ones in the engine room so they're closer if anythin' ... sparks." Nice way to say 'goes boom'.
[ooc; WOO A GOOD PLAN! Kaylee's all :3 when there's strawberries around. TRUE TRUE ;; /we're like a mini club. the 'should avoid candy late at night' club or something]
no subject
Brigitta blinsk faintly at the 'engine room' part (spaceship, mind must process data) but then nods faintly and rises to her full height again; still waiting for the ninja pain to attack and cripple her- she can't stab it and that's really quite annoying "let's go there then; might be something to fix it 'round there."
Really she just wants to stare at the shiny things.
[OOC: Brigitta's all :D, Strawberries are obviously good at making happy things :3. ;; /There are worse clubs, but candy is very tasty after all]
no subject
She cautiously steps forward again toward the ladder. The first time she made a break for it that pain showed up so clearly slow and steady is the best way to go right now.
[ooc; Quite good :3 That's their magical power. /fff now I want some candy and there's none to be had tonight x.x
also sorry for replying late. i've been scatterbrained and now my throat's all ANKSLmskmskalgraaaar and yea. SO SORRY ;;]
no subject
Brigitta shall just be edging along rather close behind Kaylee and waiting for the pain to occur- if it's linked to the ladder she will have words; she does not know what words these will be or who they will be to but they shall certainly be there.
...Her brain is not very coherant.
[OOC: Tis a good magical power; plus they are yummy ^^ /I knoooow ;;, pfft- WHY IS THERE NO CANDY?
Well, I've actualyl been pretty awful :(; school keeps being mean! So, yes, I'm sorry! I sahll try and be better ;;]
no subject
As long as they remain like odd twins down the hall the short trip to the kitchen is equally uneventful. The kitchen is homey (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=678) looking despite there being locker-like cabinets (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=5&pos=677) for storage and exposed piping. There's a dining room table and a little seating area off to the side (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=9&pos=136). None of the chairs match each other.
Kaylee wants to bolt for where the strawberries are but she's hanging back near Brigitta. But just because she's not scurrying around the kitchen yet doesn't mean she can't think ahead a bit.
"Ya want anythin' to drink?"
[ooc; They are. Now I want some XD /COS THERE ISN'T *SOBS* I MUST GET SOME
Bah, no worries. We're still chugging along and that's cool 8Db Plus we have like a super odd timezone difference to deal with. Timezones are evil to RP. /sage nod]
no subject
She nods when they enter teh kitchen and glances around in a rather appreciative way- it's nice; it has food.. All the things she needs for great interior designing.
"Uh, don't suppose you've got water?" Brigitta can occasionally be boring.
[OOC: Darnit; there are no strawberries in the house either :( /*ALSO SOBS* I NEED SOME TOO! THERE IS NO SUGAR AND THAT MAKES ME SAD! :(
Yeah; timezones and work really are the tools of the devil- I bet they're married or something /Can occasionally get hyper on air]
no subject
"Wanna pick out your own mug?" she asks as a not-so-cunning way to have Brigitta follow her.
[ooc; Sadness. /just ate the candy she had for today, damn x.x
Ah right work. 40 hrs a week minimum sort of cuts into ... well everything x.x]
no subject
She pauses for a second (although not in walking because- ow, pain) and then her smile dims slightly "do supplies run out quickly around here then?"
[OOC: /Has also eaten all the candy that she had today ;;
...D: ouch *Clings to forever*]
no subject
"Well, they do if we can't afford nuthin' on account of runnin' out of money or not gettin' paid 'nuff for a job. 's just how it is out in the black for folks like us what don't like livin' all strict under the Alliance. But we make sure to spend real smartly when we land for a supply run."
With Brigitta trailing her she heads to the cabinet lockers behind the multi-purpose counter. She opens a few of the cabinets to show an array of mugs as varied as the chairs and cushions nearby.
[ooc; /just did too ;; Stupid candy doesn't last long enough
Yeaaaa. Such is life if I want to keep paying for the car that gets my butt everywhere XD; *clings*]
no subject
She tilts her head at all the mugs and smiles in a rather impressed way; her brain very, very slowly turning to try and understand the whole Alliance statement thing- it certainly doesn’t sound nice to her; this might be because of her freedom grabbing tendencies “are the Alliance really strict then? Sounds sensible to get away from them if they are.”
Of course, Brigitta would probably be the one running towards them screaming and holding a sword- but that doesn’t sound all that good.
[OOC: ;; It doesn't! I's so yummy but it flees so quickly, the meanie ;;
DD:; Sorry for the delay by the way! Damned school needs to stop draining all my energy -_-]
no subject
"They got a lotta rules what don't make sense. 'cept for how they benefit the rich folk of the Core planets. They still ain't too popular with Outer Rim folks cos of the whole Unification idea." Grrr arrrgh Alliance.
[ooc; :< I bet it does it on purpose.
No problem! :3 Hell I was gone for days with no internets cos I went out of town so really no biggie XD]
no subject
"Are there a lot of rich folk around?" Brigitta actually sounds a bit angry at this; despite being sort of a princess in her old life (which she doesn't like thinking about so this thought shall be neatly forgotten after it is completed) she always played with the 'commoner' people around more; they were less sqeuamish about dirty dresses.
[OOC: :( Yesss; it is probably a defence mechanism of utter fail.
:3; yay grandparents! (I think I remember it being grandparents; poke me if I've got it wrong :/)]
no subject
As she's speaking she's getting water for Brigitta. Out of habit she's running it through a few filters even though the water pumping through Serenity's pipes has been the best she's ever had thanks to Taxon. Once Brigitta's chosen mug is full of the (ultra clean) water she picks her own mug out and sets it on the counter. Water's great and all but this sort of crazy morning calls for some strong tea.
[ooc; damn that defense mechanism. damn it.
:3 you got it! I was visiting my grandparents and helping them out with stuff :3]
no subject
Ah,
boringtasty water- bliss. She'll probably move on to coffee later but water has a calming effect on her; weird but it does tend to work.Tis a stupid defence mechanism ;;
:D Yayz! Grandparent helping is awesome :3
no subject
With Brigitta all set with her nice
boringvery tasty mug of water she can focus more on getting some of that water hot enough to make yummy leaf juice.[ooc; Quite ;;
:3]
