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!

Kaylee's a fan of sleeping, whether it's because she's fallen in her bunk exhausted from another fast-paced day of crime and wackiness. Or it's the sleep that comes after a good romp with a guy. Or even just the nice little naps she has in her hammock in the engine room, where the sounds of the engine lull her to sleep like music.

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?!"

A quick glance to her wrist shows Kaylee that yes, this is still Taxon. Xie-xie mysterious fused on bracelet.

"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?!

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh I don't do no kidnappin' an' if ya sleepwalked in here that'd be all manner of impressive. What with all the stairs to get through Serenity an' the ladder to get on in here ..." she said, raising one had distractedly to point at said ladder (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=12&pos=523) entrance (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=12&pos=526).

"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]

"Nice to meet ya too Brigitta," she says back, a bit awkwardly though because really it's very very weird to meet her.

"How come ya don't got a last name?"

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee tosses her thin blanket off her legs (no point in staying all covered up by it as she's fully dressed). With the blanket off it's easier for her to sit cross-legged and look down at Brigitta.

"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.

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-16 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee smiles in return, though her mind still puzzles a bit over the idea. Sure she's met folks with the same name before but they had last names too that were different.

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.

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee beams genuinely at Brigitta. Nice going there. One of the easiest ways to get on Kaylee's awesome side? Compliment her girl. All right so technically Brigitta only complimented Kaylee's bed/bunk but it's part of Serenity and therefore completely valid.

"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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Late?" Oh no. Not only has Brigitta somehow gotten in Kaylee's bunk without either of them knowing why but she's four whole hours late for ... well. Something.

"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;)]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-19 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee just raises an eyebrow at that exercising comment cos well ... "I don't do exercisin'," she says, scratching the back of her head lightly. "Don't really need to. Plus sometimes we'll play a bit of ball in the cargo bay."

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*)]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
By the slight look on Kaylee's face she won't be taking up Brigitta's suggestion anytime soon. Really, doing her job on Serenity and goofing around (and having sex) works well enough for her as exercise. No need to change what isn't broken after all.

"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."

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-22 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
If Kaylee knew that she'd be so happy because starting her morning off with running or some other exercise before she even gets so much as a cup of tea in her is just downright horrific and cruel.

"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).

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee's face lights up like every holiday has come all at once. A fellow strawberry fan? Brigitta just might be one of her best new friends in all of Taxon right now.

"'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 ;;]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-24 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
As quickly as the pain started it stops. Kaylee stays on the floor, too dazed to move right away. Her first words are actually a muttered, breathless string of cusses in Chinese that would be best left untranslated.

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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee shakily gets to her feet, making sure to stay in the same spot. The pain started when she was walking away. So moving again (aside from the whole wobbly standing) isn't an option at the moment.

"'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 ;;]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-26 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee gives Brigitta a look like she's one crazy person.

"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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-27 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
"'s like they just don't wanna leave us all alone to go 'bout our days here after they snatched us up an' all. They still gotta poke at us." Kaylee is not amused.

"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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-09-29 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee nods and fidgets with her sleep shirt a little. "Shiny. The engine room's all the way down Serenity an' since it's on the other side of the kitchen from us we can gets some food too." Fruit. Need fuel after all for doing some quality prodding and fixing in hopes that it'll make things less weird and painful.

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 ;;]

Thankfully for the both of them the slow trip up the ladder is not painful. Kaylee would have had very strong words about that too if something had happened. It's her ladder. She can climb up and down it while horrible drunk and have nothing happen (except maybe missing the bottom rung on the way down and then stumbling a little ungracefully into her bunk but other than that ...).

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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-10-05 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure we got water. Sometimes it'd be all we'd have 'round. Which ain't so bad if we got tea leaves an' bags too," she says. She takes a couple steps away from Brigitta before stopping dead in her tracks as she realizes she was about to automatically go off and potentially bring the pain back.

"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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-10-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh the real dainty ones'r in 'nara's shuttle. But she uses those for tea ceremonies for her clients," she says in reassurance, just in case Brigitta was worried about breaking one of the fancier cups on Serenity. Which, if Kaylee thinks about it a bit further, is actually a really smart move as that random pain might come back at any moment. And she doubts it'd care if they're holding mugs or not.

"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*]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-10-13 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope! She's a real registered Companion. She gets to pick her clients ... 'course they all tell her they wanna spend time with her. She'll serve 'em tea, entertain 'em. She can play some instruments. Or she'll give 'em massages. An' then there's those she'll have great sex with." Yes Kaylee just said that like it's nothing. Don't mind her.

"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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-10-15 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
"On the Core planets yea. Lots of 'em. Some even got their own floatin' islands on Bellerophon with the best security they can buy with all their money ... or so they go thinkin'."

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]

[identity profile] lilgreasemonkey.livejournal.com 2009-10-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Well Cap'n an' Saffron got in with that code breaker she had. An' I reprogrammed the trash collector to fly just where we wanted it in a couple minutes." She grins a bit deviously. There's your answer Brigitta.

With Brigitta all set with her nice boring very tasty mug of water she can focus more on getting some of that water hot enough to make yummy leaf juice.

[ooc; Quite ;;

:3]
