I solemly swear that this here little white china tea set with the frilly blue patterns ain’t nuttin’ but a ruddy tea steepin’ ‘n drinkin’ contraption. If it do explode, it’ll be because some huen dahn decided to throw it, to which I claim no responsibility fer collateral damage of flyin’ bits.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: tidying up
I’d like to think that, coupled with her steady calm and multiple goodies in discipline, Tess will at least keep her head level during the first meeting with Trish. (maybe a little eye pop. ^_^)
She will, however, have flashbacks. War is an ugly thing.
A couple of things: To keep in with the timeline of the story, Tess will have aged a bit, so she’s either 26 or 27. I’d say that’s your call on how much older, Al.
And, if it’s alright with you, merely as an RPing item, I’d love for Tess to have picked up another (perhaps worn and chipped) tea set to replace the one that smashed at the end of Destiny’s Flight. Plus a tin of mediocre jasmine leaves?
Also: pilot auditions?? O.o Sounds like fun!

I imagine Tess'll take over Sam's old room when she gets on board.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA Subject: which reminds me
Thank you, Al, for showing me 4shared initially with Destiny's Flight. It has helped expand my interweb pirateness greatly. *winks*
Have I mentioned that I'm very excited to start this campaign?
Perhaps maybe a little over excited, to the point where I'm trying my best not to type in 'frontier slang'?

I'd really love to, Brundel. At the moment I'm trying to get my own business started while working mostly fulltime at my regular job, so it really cuts down on my play time. Who knows, maybe when this thing gets up and running, you'll have decided to do another campaign and I will have the time to join!

Also: use of Blammm's name is way spiff. I hope that things are going well in his world. Maybe in the very least all of us thinking about him in the ether will give him a warm fuzzy feeling, even if it's just for a little while.

Hey gang!
Just posted up something that I've had written for a while. I figure that T_O and I will finish the Stone Brother's collaboration, but Brayden is there to stay. The good doctor will be working throughout the night, and won't be seen topside in the morning.
I was just looking for a little movement aboard the Moon.

Topic: Tales from the Smuggler's Moon Subject: Saercyn Willow ~ Up anchor an’ spread tae sails, me barnacled, slack-bellied laggards!
The wind streaked through the rigging at pre-dawn. Dark honeyed eyes watched the ropes off the mizzen anxiously flutter in the breeze.
Someone is ready to get underway.
Saercyn Willow stood on top a steady crate at the forecastle. Rose was left in her cabin; these shanties needed to be loud and in time, not necessarily musical. Willow closed her still blackened eyes, and took in the sounds. Hawkers cried up and down the dock to early morning shoppers, offering fresh fish, seaweed, and shellfish. Water splashed against the hull of The Smuggler’s Moon. A poorly docked sloop knocked against its moorings. The crew pushed the last of the lose cargo into place. Wood creaked. Somewhere a bell rang. A high pitched chitter exclaimed, “What’ be th’ fargin hold-up?”
Willow slowly opened her eyes and looked to the captain up on the quarterdeck. He made a gesture in her direction. She stood stock still for a moment longer, feeling the wind play through her hair, watching the crew get into their proper positions to raise the halyard.
She inhaled and began to chant, her voice carrying across the main deck and out over the water,
~O, whiskey is the life of man,
Whiskey, Johnny!~ The crew cried in response, heaving the lines.
~I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Oh whiskey straight and whiskey strong,
Whiskey, Johnny!
Give me whiskey and I'll sing this song.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey from an old tin can,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll drink whiskey when I can.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I drink it hot, I drink it cold,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink it new, I drink it old.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
If whiskey comes too near my nose,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I tip it up and down she goes.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Oh, some likes gin an' some likes beer.
Whiskey, Johnny!
I wish I had a barrel here.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey killed my poor old dad.
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey drove my mother mad.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey up and whiskey down.
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey all around the town.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Oh whiskey here and whiskey there.
Whiskey, Johnny!
Oh I'll have whiskey everywhere.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Whiskey makes me pawn my clothes.
Whiskey, Johnny!
And whiskey gave me this red nose.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
If whiskey was a river, an' I could swim.
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'd say "here goes" an' dive right in.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I had a girl, her name was Lize,
Whiskey, Johnny!
She puts whiskey in her pies.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
My wife and I can not agree;
Whiskey, Johnny!
She puts whiskey in her tea.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
I thought I heard the old man say,
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll treat my crew in a decent way.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
Here comes the cook with the whiskey can,
Whiskey, Johnny!
A glass of grog for every man.
Whiskey for my Johnny!
A glass of grog for every man,
Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle full for the shantyman.
Whiskey for my Johnny!~
