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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Luckily Brigitta is horrifically bad at picking up on facial expressions; or else Kaylee might be doing skipping or running or some form of exercise right that moment- oh the sheer scariness of a exercise obsessed person' indeed, there are few things that compare to the levels of fear in that sort of thing.

"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.

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).

Brigitta does not consider it torture; she considers it a sensible way to start a morning... Which probably explains why it is nasty, nasty torture.

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?"

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 ;;]

Brigitta's face has also gone all radiant; strawberries are just about her favourite fruit ever and so a fellow strawberry enthusiast being found has pretty much crowned this day as the best day ever- with her shiny imaginary crown obviously.

"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]

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]

Brigitta has a fine ear for curses and other rude things; but luckily she hasn't gotten around to learning Chinese yet so she can only vaguely guess at what Kaylee is saying- and unfortunately she has a rather good imagination.

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]

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 ;;]

Brigitta edges closer to Kaylee; moving in a rather cautious way and watching out for horrific pain every step of the way- she's hoping that if she acts ninja herself the pain shall be beaten in its ninja ways and they can all go back to normal without panicking.

...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]

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]

Brigitta just blinks innocently; to her anything that happens is usually linked to demons and/or sharp pointy objects- she can be severely single minded once she gets to a point. In this case however she might be a little bit more inclined to accept that she's wrong.

...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]

"'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]

"Mm, far too eager to do that" Brigitta scowls; there is a limit to now much prodding she can take and this is sailing past the limit at a nice speed; it is a very good thing that she quite likes Kaylee.

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]

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 ;;]

"Sounds good; easier to figure things out on a full stomach" for her at least; other people have actually been rather stunned by Brigitta's approach to food- the words 'black hole' have been used by those reeling away in terror... But she usually pauses to relish strawberries; usually.

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 ;;]

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]

That is a very good thing; for Brigitta can deal with ladders in most circumstances- but horrific pain is pushing it even for her; she isn't good at multitasking anyway and if it's a fight between horrific pain and clinging to the ladder... Well; horrific pain is going to win hands down.

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]

"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]

Luckily Brigitta has picked today to be slightly less dumb; so instead of choosing the scowling and stomping route she pauses for a second and then nods hard; trailing after Kaylee with a big I-just-avoided-pain grin on her face, so subtle "sure! Wouldn't want to pick a far too delicate one after all and shatter it."

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*]

"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*]

Random pain is usually a very mean thing in Brigitta’s experience (limited though it admittedly is); instead of happening at perfectly sensible moments such as when she’s in grabbing distance of something to hold her up or at times where she has a nice supply of soothing things it chooses to happen when she’s in battle or holding delicate things; random pain is evil “what does she do then? Is she a… Professional tea maker or something?”

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 -_-]

"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]

...Brigitta's face may have just done a rather funny 'did I just hear that right?' dance; but after a few moments of turning those words over in her head she shrugs and gives a accepting smile; she might be a prude in her own relationship choices (that might be a understatement there) but she won't deprive anybody else of their fun; carrying around placards against sin really takes away training time.

"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 :/)]

"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]

"Best security" Brigitta scoffs; she's never seen those islands (or indeed heard of them before this very moment) but she's encountered amazing security before- it's amazing home magic or even a really strong whack with a sword can get around such things "are they rather inaccurate on that count?"

Ah, ~~boring~~ tasty 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

Edited 2009-10-18 15:34 (UTC)

"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 ;;
