Topic: Smuggler's Moon Q&A
Subject: Art!
Me too! I'm thinking about doing up one of Willow in one of her garish bard outfits. This is just normal day to day wear on the ship.
I drew up a much more detailed one via pencil, but they never scan right, and I'm too nervy to touch it with a pen or anything else.

Topic: Smuggler's Moon Cast and Crew
Subject: Bard on the Sea - Willow
Name: Saercyn Willow, known to the crew of Smuggler’s Moon as Willow or Will
Age: Early Forties
Appearance: Saercyn displays a bit more of the elvish side of her blood then she does her human side. Nevertheless, she can’t pass for either. Her height is at 5’6”, and her medium body structure shows well toned muscle connected to a life of work. She keeps her sandy blonde hair bobbed short just below her chin, and dark honey colored eyes dominate her face. The only true human feature is her slightly hawk nose, which is how her true heritage is revealed. She is also left handed.
Distinguishing Marks: While not usually noticeable, Willow’s body shows a couple of ugly previous encounters. The right side of her torso show scars of deep scratch wounds, and it’s apparent that her upper left arm has been flayed open a time or two. Whether this was from miscalculation or a blocking maneuver for more vital areas is up to speculation for most of the crew. She also claims to have a tattoo, but it’s located somewhere the crew will never see unless they are really good. Again, no one is really sure if she serious or not.
Attire: Attempting to be true to her bardic nature, Willow wears a scarlet shirt in favor of the traditional marine colors. Her pants, or cropped knickers as is usually the case, are light brown, and she goes shoeless while she is aboard. She usually is bareheaded, but swears one of these days she’s going to get a hat of some kind, with a feather, and maybe a big pin…
Possessions: Rose, a well loved, well cared for fiddle, plus a rig for accessibility on the ship and a case rig for carrying it in town. Along with the bow for her instrument, she also carries a light rapier, and what she calls a ‘tool’ knife strapped to her right leg.
History/Present: Willow has been aboard the Smuggler’s Moon since the time when she changed from the Isabella. Much of her history is put to the wayside; telling her crewmates that her beginnings were less then exciting, and then by diverting them with a story of someone whose history was. Her job on the ship is plain: act as ship's sea shanty singer, keep the crew entertained and placated while on long voyages, plus she’s fairly handy in a sword fight. There seems to be an additional task that she performs for the Captain, but by the creepy nature of her seeing the truth of things, it isn’t too hard to guess for the quick witted. Will’s sense of humor is light hearted and crude, and the majority of the crew has yet to see her loose her cool.

Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG
Subject: Tess ~ No bunnies here
“They haven’t hailed us so Jason make the broadcast, Tess the helm is yours we have a delivery to make,” Jon ordered, leaving no room for question. Tess flipped her goggles back over her eyes.
“Aye aye, Cap’n!” she said with a small grin. She twisted her seat back around to have full access of her board and began to key in the burn sequence.
“Mei Wen Ti Captain,” Jason replied. He flipped the switch back on the comm., “Port Authority this is fast courier Destiny, we are breaking orbit and entering our burn cycle now as per our flight plan,” He smiled and continued, “Sheh sheh Greenleaf control and have a nice day.”
Click!
Buzzers started sounding as the response came in from Greenleaf, “ATTENTION ALL SHIPS DEPARTING FROM GREENLEAF. ALL SHIPS ARE TO DELAY DEPARTURE AND PREPARE TO BE BOARDED. WE HAVE A FUGITIVE SITUATION WANTED BY FEDERAL MARSHALLS. YOU COOPERATION IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.”
The klaxon noise of the sensors rang from Tess’s left, and she swiveled around to get a look at the read-out, “Weapon’s lock,” she spoke calmly to the captain.
Do we dare rabbit?
“Attention Courier vessel Destiny. This is the Erikson Alliance cruiser. Please prepare for boarding and have all personal available for questioning in the cargo bay. You have 20 seconds to power down your engines.”
"Nuts,” Jon said exasperatedly, “Tess, power down!"
She did so without question.
“Jason, acknowledge the hail and ask for instructions,” Jon moved to the comm. panel and hit the ship wide line, “Folks we're getting company, meeting in the cargo bay..... what the?"
The sensor alarm went off for a second time as weapons were locked on them once again. Tess’s hands froze over the kill switch. Destiny wasn’t going to spring into action in a heartbeat, it took precious minutes to her engine warmed up again; they were going nowhere fast.
“Cap’n….”
Jon turned to Jason, "Gimme that transmitter," He raised the mic to his mouth and slammed the button at its base, “Erikson, this is Destiny; we just got targeted by an unidentified source, what is going on? Are we under your protection?"
After the rigga-ma-roll between Jon and the Alliance cruiser, Tess stood up to leave the bridge.
“So much for not going full burn,” she sighed as she made her way down to the cargo bay, “At this rate, we ain’t gonna be able to avoid it.
“Good of you t’ mention the Baron, Cap’n,” Tess commented, looking to Jon as she stepped into the lift, “Let’s just hope it’ll do us some good with that preening zhu toh zhu nao marshal. Of course it might’n if we don’t deliver on time.”

Topic: Realms of Twilight - A Journey Begins
Subject: Raina ~ Hey! *kick* Wake up!
Her eyes flicked to Heironymus before she sighed.
Guess I'm doing it.
The Umbral continued to sit motionless as they approached him. His yellow eyes had a really creepy look to them, almost like they had been covered in shimmering gauze. She tried not to look at the door as she positioned herself behind him.
“If this doesn’t work,” she muttered to the cleric out of the corner of her mouth, “I’ve got smelling salts we can try.”
Her right had strayed to one of her daggers, but she didn’t grab it. The Gods forbid intentions would come off wrong; or leave her unprepared. With her left, she grasped Quarlin’s shoulder and began to shake it.
“Quarlin.”

Topic: Realms of Twilight - A Journey Begins
Subject: Raina ~ wakey wakey
The fire crackled and popped. Raina’s eyes slowly opened. It was so warm lying there next to the fire, and she took a moment to relish the feeling of restfulness in being able to wake up naturally.
Waking up naturally…
She sat up abruptly. Since she had been traveling, there had yet to be a time where anyone woke up naturally. It was usually at a shake of the shoulder for a change of the watch. Heironymus slept soundly close by, but Quarlin looked completely mesmerized by one of the doors. It was eerie. Not wanting to deal with the problem on her own, she leaned over and started to shake the cleric gently.
The Gods forbid something’s spellbound Quarlin,” she thought to herself as she softly spoken Heironymus’ name.
OOC: Sorry guys, I know its been waiting on me. Darn you RL! Summer's winding down, so I'll be able to keep updated on a regular basis.

Topic: The Search for Tomorrow
Subject: Kaimelle ~ Oh yeah, like we'd leave you in there ^_^
Kaimelle struggled to keep track of everything that was happening; it all moved so quickly. The tormentor seemed to be recovering from her blinding spell, and took his anger out on the Gano. Unable to see precisely what was going on, she did hear the horrible clash on metal, followed by a sickening tearing noise. The red haired man fell to the floor in a heap with blood rushing forth from his chest.
“Much better now. That's a fancy trick you've got, lily. A wonder you never showed me these before.” His cruel smile widened as he took a step towards her. Her mind buzzed with panic; she only seemed to see the sword in the man’s hands, and smell the blood from the Gano.
That’s me. I’m next. I’m next.
Her tormenter turned on the spot to engage the Slyn, who looked infuriated. The mercenary’s cry of pain as he took a blow to the thigh snapped her out of her reverie.
Rideygo, 1012
…”You are not helpless!” Leanna had screamed at me. She doesn’t understand. Does she not see the fear in these humans for those who wield Ether, and what they’ve done to them? She tells me that it’s within our right to defend ourselves. Our argument was long and heated. The blood from my nose ruined both my dress, and hers.
From the Memoirs of Kaimelle Tir’Anoron Part I
Determination reentered her mind, and she thrust her hands forward, into the Ether. Two balls of energy filled her palms, humming excitedly with deadly power. She hurled them one after another at the tormenter, and his reactive flinch told her that she had struck true. Kaimelle thrust her hands forward again and two more orange balls of energy filled them once more. She flung them forward, this time hitting his two arms.
“Insects!” He whirled towards her and his blade came into contact with her midsection. Light danced in front of her eyes momentarily, and again she was protected from his blow. He restarted the fight with the Slyn, and Kaimelle looked to the Gano. His blood slicked the floor, but he still seemed to be alive. At least, his chest was moving.
Like two hawks in the night, the Raslan and the Holy Man came swiftly into the corridor out of the darkness. The Raslan looked almost ridiculous with a spear four times his size hefted under one arm, but he quickly discarded it in favor of a different blade. He circled around and placed himself between her and her tormentor. The Holy Man came into position to help the Slyn, and the man in black suddenly thrust his hand down his shirt.
“Four against one?” She couldn’t see his face, but it sounded sour, “These odds are too much for me...” His arm shifted, and a portal opened up just long enough for him to fall through. The bearded man’s last swing met nothing but air.
The Holy Man wasted no time in dropping his shield and attending to the downed Gano. His eyes closed meditatively for a moment before his whispered, “I called out to the Librarian. But nobody answered.”
The metallic smell of blood filled her nose. A sudden rush of sound met her ears as the adrenaline from the battle began to wear off. She leaned against the wall, attempting to ground herself to something as she felt corridor closing in on her. Her head pounded with pain. So tired…
"Are you alright my Lady?"
Her glowing eyes looked down to the Raslan’s.
“Uuma dela, Ai’Aratoamin,” she said to him with a faint smile. Her hand gestured to the fallen warrior before them, “Worry about him.”
Discussion began as to how to handle the Gano. The Raslan’s cold logic made sense, but Kaimelle felt like it was the wrong decision after everything he had done for her. The Slyn’s frown seemed to echo her thoughts.
"Is there nothing to be done?" he said to the Holy Man, "What about the orange salve? And the leaves? Couldn't we use that?"
The Mith’ganni placed a cold hand over her eyes, hoping it would help her focus on the present, “If you have herbs, it should bring him around long enough to get him to walk. Binding his chest with a cloth or a shirt wouldn’t go amiss either.”
“Take her," the Slyn was saying. She moved her hand to see that he was speaking to the Raslan, “and see if you can unlock the door, and find the girl." Something ground into place, and she realized the absurdity of being rescued by people she didn’t even know, who didn’t care who she was as long as she was set free.
“Kaimelle,” she said to the Slyn, “I’m Kaimelle. Come, Ai’Aratoamin. Let’s liberate some prisoners.” They hadn’t moved far from the locked door, and she inspected it to see there was any trace of the Ether on it. The commotion they had caused with the man in black had apparently roused the prisoners inside. Someone stood just to the inside of the door and began pleading with them as they contemplated the door.
"Hey, unlock the door! Free these people and ensure their safety, and I can help your friend. I can save his soul, keep him from dying. Let us out and he'll be saved!"
Annoyance trickled through the Mith’ganni’s senses, “We would unlock the door and save you even if you couldn’t save our friend. No one deserves to be locked up in this hell hole.” Her glowing eyes penetrated through the bars into the cell inside.
No one…
OOC: Um… spellcraft check to see if there is any magical, er, traps or anything else connected to the door? ^_^
