Porch ramblings.

[23:12] You: Laur, dear, that 'lliance guy came in, finalized the arrangments. Did I tell ya?
[23:12] You: Pass the word around, please dont' shoot the purplebellies.
[23:12] Cholgosh Swindlehurst smiles.. "Reminds me of the time at your place, Nack. Youi were on the couch, but for me you were being swallowed by the pillow beast on the floor"
[23:13] Lauralai Toland shakes her head, "No...what'd he have to say?"
[23:13] Nack Barnes laughs, Chol.
[23:13] Cobb Compton: yup, Alliance Officer Savage did a brief walkthru... despite the taunting
[23:13] Lauralai Toland chuckles, Cholgosh.
[23:13] You: Not much good, Laur, as you could expect. But, we got the money to pay for meds, so I promised 'em they'd not be killed or shot or set on fire...
[23:13] Cholgosh Swindlehurst: we talked about that NAck. we all understand about not shooting them
[23:13] You: Or any "mysterious" disappearances. *sighs*
[23:13] Cholgosh Swindlehurst: what abou they get caught packin' heat, Nack?
[23:14] You: Then I deal with it with Captain Savage. *nods*
[23:14] Lauralai Toland sighs, "Well, lovely, I was so looking forward to.."
[23:14] Lauralai Toland thinks he's an arrogant ass.
[23:14] You: He's not a bad sort, for a 'lliance ship captain.
[23:14] Lauralai Toland sniffs, "Huh"
[23:14] Cholgosh Swindlehurst: and if they wanna rumble, get feisty?
[23:14] You: If you think he is, I'd put to you that you have not dealt with many Alliance ship captains.
[23:14] Desiderata Lisle looks very doubtfully at Nack...
[23:15] Cobb Compton: course, there is that free fistfightin' DCS down yonder... no guns there
[23:15] Lauralai Toland looks at Chollie, "Then knock the hell out of 'em."
[23:15] Cholgosh Swindlehurst notes that if anyone is getting shot, it's Captain Jerkhead himself, and it'll be blue bullets
[23:15] You: Ain't nothing against an old fashioned ass whippin' if they got it comin' to 'em. *chuckles*
[23:15] Lauralai Toland: Wouldn't do 'em any harm to know we ain't just going to be rolled over, even for their hard money.
[23:15] You: Shore Leave. Captain Asshat knows that "things" happen.
[23:15] You: But no killin'!
[23:15] Nack Barnes chuckles.
[23:16] Lauralai Toland nods.
[23:16] Cholgosh Swindlehurst nods... "no killin"
[23:16] Amyla Wakowski hopes 'things' include kissin'.
[23:16] Nack Barnes chuckles, Desiderata.
[23:16] Cobb Compton: Jayne had a good chat with us earlier.... sign language
[23:16] Lauralai Toland chuckles, Amyla.
[23:16] You: I think they's all trained to not kiss girls on the mouth, Amyla.
[23:16] Desiderata Lisle: and she reads lips a bit too...
[23:16] Lauralai Toland: Did she?
[23:16] Lauralai Toland: She don't speak up much...they must of upset her.
[23:16] Desiderata Lisle: I told her to pass me a note if she needs anything I can get her.
[23:17] Lauralai Toland nods, "Thanks Desi."
[23:17] Amyla Wakowski: Well, I can testify to that trainin' not holdin' up.
[23:17] You: Jayne doesn't read sign language worth a damn. But she's half telepath. All us locals are genetically messed up somehow, she ain't no different.
[23:17] Cholgosh Swindlehurst looks at Amyla...
[23:17] Desiderata Lisle: Well, the zombies were out, and Quin was dealing with them, so I stood by her place to keep them off her if they came that way.
[23:17] Cobb Compton: Desi downed on me for inspecting her dumpster without Jayne's express invitation
[23:17] Desiderata Lisle: Damn if one didn't try...
[23:17] Nack Barnes chuckles, Cobb.
[23:17] Lauralai Toland thinks we need to find some free traders that wear uniforms for Amyla.
[23:17] Lauralai Toland chuckles.
[23:17] Desiderata Lisle: Manners, Cobb...
[23:18] You: She's a good girl, just deaf and dumb since 'lliance bombs... well, she'd be dead out there in the wastes if we'd not found her.
[23:18] Cobb Compton: lol... I'll pick em up... think I found a vendor...
[23:18] Lauralai Toland nods, "It is her home, such as it is."
[23:18] Desiderata Lisle: Even a dumpster home should be respected as private space...
[23:18] You: Ain't seen my favorite scav lately. Anyone seen Tarlek this week?
[23:18] Amyla Wakowski: Old boyfriend's a medic. Well, doctor, really. In the service.
[23:18] Desiderata Lisle: If Quin leads any zombies over here, I swear I'll strangle him...
[23:19] Lauralai Toland shakes her head, "Ain't seen him, nope. No wonder...with the Alliance around."
[23:19] Cobb Compton: I've seen him within the past couple... not today tho
[23:19] Nack Barnes shrugs, "Hopefully he's out there finding me some new carbon filters."
[23:19] Lauralai Toland: Tarlek lost his family in the war....ain't got much love for the Alliance
[23:19] Desiderata Lisle: nope, guess he's out and about...
[23:19] You: Yeah, he's not from around here. Not sure what planet he's from, frankly.
[23:19] You: Never had the gall to ask him much about his past.
[23:19] Nack Barnes shrugs.
[23:20] Cholgosh Swindlehurst shakes his head "Haven't seen Tarlek in a while now"
[23:20] Cobb Compton: he's hard to talk with... mostly just belches and wants money for liquor
[23:20] Nack Barnes nods, Cobb, "Live with his memories, I reckon we'd all be much the same."
[23:20] Amyla Wakowski: Sounds like my pa...
[23:20] Nack Barnes shrugs.
[23:20] Lauralai Toland shakes her head, "Don't know either, just heard his drunken ramblings. He used to creep me out...but since then I just feel pity for 'em"
[23:20] Nack Barnes chuckles, Amyla.
[23:21] Cobb Compton: he's kinda got that 49'er 'tude....
[23:21] Lauralai Toland decides to sit for a spell.
[23:21] Amyla Wakowski: Then again my pa spends more on his machine tools an' parts than on his liquor... he's building a miniature steam engine. Got lots of fiddly bits.
[23:21] Cobb Compton: but I suppose he is a 49'er
[23:21] Desiderata Lisle: Well, I lost my family in the war, too... I was a shipboard medic and offplanet when the reavers struck.. and the damn Alliance patrol refused to help
[23:21] You: Huh. Couldn't have them see the truth now, could we.
[23:22] Lauralai Toland shakes her head, Desi.
[23:22] Cholgosh Swindlehurst envies those who know where they came from. "Some of us jsut remember being here."
[23:22] Desiderata Lisle: Couldn't stand to go back and see what was left of home, so shipped on another freighter and came here, finally.
[23:22] Lauralai Toland smiles at Chollie.
[23:22] Lauralai Toland nods, understanding, Desi.
