Firefly/Serenity Revisited. OOC Thread/Casting Call.

I'm going to start working on an opening IC post. It'll probably be one of my epic ones but don't worry about that or think I expect essays from you all. :eek:

I've been in two minds about how much direction to give you guys and I think just for the very beginning, I'm going to be specific. That way, we'll kick off with everyone knowing where everyone else is, where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to be doing. After that it's pretty much down to you to move your character through events as they unfold. Unless there's a huge discrepancy or an action is made that could derail the agreed plot, I will not interfere.

General plots will be discussed and agreed on this thread. The details we'll work out as we go and I'm sure Marauder and LilyBean will have the odd surprise up their sleeves. We'll go with what the majority wants to do so don't be reticent about giving your opinion or worry about outvoting me. I want everyone to enjoy the thread and to feel that their input is valuable.

So, Day 1 on Persephone

Post one will see Serenity landing on Persephone. Inara's shuttle will detach and she will go visit a client, who I haven't dreamed up yet. I'm thinking he's going to be someone that spoilt Atherton Wing can't stand.

Mal and Zoe will make a drop to Badger (NPC) of some jewellery swiped from some swanky homes in Bellerophon Estates. After some haggling over what constitutes fair payment for such expensive jewels, Badger gives them word of a lucrative job that Mingo & Fanty are looking to pull and Bellemonde becomes Serenity's next destination.

Wash will be overseeing the re-fuelling of Serenity. After that's completed, he'll keep an eye on the ship until his wife returns so he can get her dolled up and take her out for dinner.

Simon and Kaylee will be stocking up on engine parts and medical supplies with Jayne in tow to make sure they don't get shot or ripped off. River will be with Simon.

Book will go and visit Southdown Abbey, where he lived before he decided to broaden his mission and join Serenity's crew.

Marauder & Saffron with be offworld, hot on Serenity's trail. They will get to Persephone the next morning and find they've missed Serenity's departure. Marauder will pull out all the stops to catch up with them and they will encounter each other somewhere in the black between Persephone and Bellemonde. During this time, Saffron will get rumbled and Serenity will be the only place she can get to in a shuttle.

That's just the basics, so everyone knows where to kick off from. The first day and night will be fairly uneventful so people can do pretty much as they please as long as they're back on board by morning. Is that ok?
 
We have a Kaylee and her name is TearsOfTheWorld.

Now that's sorted, I should have post 1 up in the next 24hrs-ish.

Enjoy :kiss:

So we've got some idea of distance and timeframe, I'm going to decide that travel between planets in the same solar system takes an average of 24hrs. From system to system is obviously longer. E.g. Newhall to Jlangyin will take about 48hrs and Bellerophon to Athens would take about 5 days.

I'm pulling numbers out of the air here, just so we've got something consistent to work with. If anyone has a better idea of how long journeys are supposed to take, I'm all ears.
 
o_O Kimmeh's playing Kaylee? Knew I should have tagged as Simon before someone else did << >> lol
 
lol. It's just it's rare Kimmeh and I get the chance to RP anymore. also....Logitech Trackman Wheel Cordless FTW....much better than that crappy little mouse I was using.......

*gasp* and how is that suppose to make me a stranger you've not even written with feel?? Buddy, you're just lucky I don't take OOC to IC or else Zoe might be mad at Wash for some unknown reason...you know how women can be...LoL. =P

I'll try to make it fun for you, dear. ;)

and don't forget, Zoe and a shotgun are not a couple to be triffled with!
 
:p give me a few minutes to come up with a snappy retort. I just woke up after having passed out three hours ago (needed a nap) to find my room unbearably hot and my CPU temp about 3 degrees higher than I'd like it to be (and my body temp about twenty higher)

Anyways, I'm not sure if you've seen the majority of my group threads, but....I've done multiple characters a lot. I did the majority of the male cast of Sailor Moon on a Yahoo group at one point (as well as, I'm ashamed to admit, playing Sailor Mercury quite well, since I was also playing her friend from season 2...or was it season 3....erhm... << >>) I got compliments for my portrayal of the Star Lights in that one....

anyways, in closing this...uh...whatever this post is...Let the smuggling/piracy/salvaging begin?

Ahren1, Tears, River is with you and, since she is something more of an atmospheric character, I'm going to wait until you two post and then follow up.
 
By the way, marauder13 is going to play Badger. He's such a fun character that it would be a great shame not to give him a distinctive voice.
 
Right, I'm going out for the day now so I probably won't be checking back in till sometime tomorrow.

Play nice :kiss:
 
Badger

"I'm a businessman... I have roots... in the community." And I hope I can do the weaselly bloke justice when the time comes...

grabs the series & movies DVDs and crash courses on them in prep

If you've seen Battlestar Galactica you'll know the reason why I think Mark Sheppard is sex on a stick. :devil:
 
hmmmm....I have a bit of a problem. I have no inspiration at the moment. I may have to step down as Wash and let someone more capable take the reins. Good thing I haven't posted yet.
 
*sigh* Anyone else while we're at the "quitting before even starting the race" phase?

PS: First person posting is totally weird to me. I won't be doing that, just in case anyone cares.
 
I'm sorry, it's just that I can't seem to think of anything at all for any of my RPs right now. it's probably lack of sleep (lots of noise at night keeping me awake till about 2 or 3 AM every night)

Boo! I suppose I'll go ahead with my first post anyway and Wash can be NPC till someone else comes along. Are you sure you're going to walk? Maybe watch a couple of episodes of Firefly on Hulu for inspiration.
 
meh, I'm just not sure I could adequately play him at the moment. Not enough active RP in total the last few weeks to keep my mind creative, I guess. It's a shame, too, I was looking forward to getting into the mind of Wash and his "I'm a leaf on the wind, watch me dance" routine.

I can try to play him, I suppose, but it means that, until the RP kicks back up on Lit, my posts may require more time to gather together
