Yeah, of course, I would love to have Madison's crew in on the action. Whoever wants to join in on the trek down planet is fine by me. Mads will want to help after the assist from the Serenity crew. On top, I think I mentioned something in the past about them heading towards that planet. Something about Madison knowing the doctor from work, and originally heading that way to get Sally help. So, maybe Madison puts that she is in the area and the doctor takes the bait? Sending a request for Madison's services? That could get them down on the planet, without sending alarm bells off with the doctor? Hollywood Heidi Ariel Kristi Lynne The Jester Of Tortuga

That's a great idea! The Alliance is monitoring him with that satellite but the Serenity crew is gonna disable it, so the Alliance won't sniff around due to that being triggered. With someone he knows reaching out, they don't have to worry about the doctor trying to trigger some other alarm he may have planetside. I do have a small suggested tweak though. I think it'd be better if it's Dex rather than Madison who knows this doctor. Dex mentioned in his post that he was the one to get the two crews to end up in the same place around the same time. He knew Wendy would seek out that doctor, so it would have been the perfect opportunity for Dex to suggest they seek that doctor's help for Sally. Dex has been working with the Alliance so there's a good chance he'd know the doctor or at least have reached out to him once or twice since being tasked with tracking down Wendy. It's a really good explanation on how, in the whole wide verse, the two ships would run into each other. Alrighty, so for this RPG, I know I need to concentrate on posting for Inara to finish that Malnara scene. After we finish that scene, I believe everyone else is ready for a small time jump? Not including River, Dex, Wendy. I feel like that's happening just after the time jump and will stick the time jump tag at the end of the post before Dex's.

Like I just said in the Collab thread, Firefly has been the monthly spotlight title for several months. It hasn't switched to the next title because we haven't given it the spotlight treatment. Let's take care of that so that October 1st, we can switch to the next title! I'm thinking, since Lee-o hasn't been around much lately and won't be here for marathon, that we should just time jump everyone outside of Inara's shuttle ahead a little to the point where they're gathering in the kitchen for the meeting and Ariel and I can continue Dex/Wendy to get them over to the kitchen as well. Ariel, we can either say that River is quietly observing or say that maybe River excitedly rushed out to the family meeting so that we don't have to worry about River reactions. Plus gives Dex and Wendy a few alone time posts. Ariel The Jester Of Tortuga Kristi Lynne Lady Lee-o

Alrighty everyone, I've time jumped all threads a half hour, mentioning in the jump that Mal has asked everyone to collect in the Dining Area, so get your character over there. Inara's Shuttle was already at that half hour ahead time. I pasted the time jump info in the middle of a Wendy post on the 3rd page, last post of Inara's shuttle. It fit best there. I'm going to delete all Firefly Whose Turn requests except for Wendy to Dex.

dantalion If Lucky is available, I think it would be fun to do a past/flashback scene between Lucky and Dex. Dex and his late mentor are bounty hunters, I was thinking maybe they could be after the same job that Lucky might be on and they might have to fight over who gets it done. Establish sort of a rivalry in case they cross paths in the present time. Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas for a scene.

The only place I won't have Dex go to in his past that is in play on the forum thread is Beaumonde, he doesn't go back there until he is 20 years old and only for a brief moment in time does he spend time there before being imprisoned.

White Sun sounds like a good place to start! Maybe Osiris? They could cross paths in a black out zone, I was thinking of having Dex and his mentor Niles meet with a client there who they were supposed to make an exchange with and maybe Lucky and co. are either after the item being exchanged or after the client himself? I'll go ahead and request a location so we can get some balls rolling dantalion

Attn: Peeps with characters in the Dining Area scene: Mal to the crew is next on my list. I went into the thread to start thinking up my post but realized I've got a lot of Wendy and Inara posts lately but there's lots of characters we haven't heard from so I'm going to wait. If you don't plan to have your character say something right now, please let us know here and I'll go ahead to we can keep the scene moving. In the mean time, I might work on a reply from Inara to Dex. They seem to have a little bit of an aside right now. Ariel Kristi Lynne Lady Lee-o

Ariel well damn, with Lee-o on hiatus, I think it's only you and me on Firefly. That being the case, do you wanna do a little time jump after your Dex post? Maybe to after the plans have been adjusted to account for the help of Madison's crew and them preparing to head to the planet?

I totally forgot that Nick still has characters here cuz the boy is never on and posting!!! And also cuz he hasn't used Jeb in awhile. The Jester Of Tortuga, need to know if you'd like to have Jeb go with planetside to kidnap the Sandy Claws, er, I mean the doctor. Ariel, I think I'll do another Wendy post, kinda mosey through the scene until we know who all is gonna be with us on the mission.

Dantalion has been gone for over the 10 week maximum so his characters are being inactivated until/if he returns.
Here are the Whose Turn posts of scenes his character was in. Feel free to write a finishing post summarizing what happened if you'd like or just leave the scene as is if you feel it doesn't keep your character stuck or impact the storytelling of your character. Since his characters are original, I would suggest not having someone temp-playing them in order to free up and/or finish the scene:

I think we're ready for Mal to interrupt everyone and start the meeting. We're starting to get into awkwardly long time of everyone just chatting and waiting for it to start. Lady Lee-o if you're not gonna temp Mal anymore, let us know so that we can work out if we'll either time jump or temp him within our own posts.

Hey my fellow browncoats! First of all: glad to be back! Already started my research on screen. Second: I actually was going to handle the catching up with plot stuff and reading over the board myself, but I'm a little bit overwhelmed with where exactly to start, especially since I don't remember everything. Do you guys have any good guide as for that, or maybe even a little summary of the most important things to know? I would love you forever! XD Well okay, already do so anyway lol. But that would help me a lot! Third: I already announced another character idea in the FB group chat, but wanted to bring it up here as well, and do so before I request a bio so that we can talk about backstories. I want to bring in a baddie, probably on supportive level. But not any baddie.... Dr. Horrible! XD Not sure if just using his FC and manners, or even name him Dr. Horrible (with an alternate backstory of course) because it would be so freaking funny and because both are creations of Joss Whedon. If you think that would be too much, that's fine with me of course. XD Anyways, thought about him and Mal could known each other from the past, and maybe Mal and Zoe even worked for him once - in form of commissions I mean. What do you think about it in general? XD Better asking before throwing in more ideas.

When I first joined, I had ended up just power reading through the most recent events and everyone's bios. Heidi would probably be the best person to suggest a quicker, more efficient way of getting caught up on the main event bits. I think she mentioned that a timeline was in the works in a previous PP post. Main bits involving my OC Dex Wilder: There was a malfunction on the Shadowheart ship while Dex was away on a "mission", and they almost died but passed by Serenity in the nick of time and were able to board their ship for salvation. Dex actually is a bounty hunter for the Alliance, under cover as an intergalactic explorer. Under his alias, he has been apart of Shadowheart's crew for some time now and received word that Wendy Carter was aboard Serenity (he's hunting her down to take her back to the Alliance for possible treason in exchange for freedom from jail). So he got the coordinates of Serenity and purposely rigged the Shadowheart to malfunction while he was actually away to report back to an Alliance base. He returns, knowing his shipmates would have boarded Serenity (he did not intend to almost kill them though, he's not that heartless) and encounters Wendy Carter. Right now, the two crews are holding a meeting in regards to traveling to a planet to hijack an ex-Blue Sun doctor. Dex's bio is rich with his background story, I would love to connect him with Dr. Horrible, perhaps while his mentor was still alive. They maybe completed a mission or did a run for him? Or maybe it was even a past quarrel they shared? Feel free to read Dex's bio and let me know if you have any ideas .

I would LOVE to see NPH on the forum! I very much love him as Dr. Horrible but if he's gonna be really similar to Dr. Horrible, it would be hard to take him seriously as a villain. I mean, even in Dr. Horrible, he's not a total villain. Personally, I think he'd need to be a little more serious. Or at least a maniacal kinda humor that seems as if he's got a screw loose rather than the wavering self confidence and adorkably clumsy over-eagerness, as he was in Dr. Horrible. I'm sure Mal would feel zero threat from the likes of Billy Buddy. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was kinda jokey and slapsticky. Firefly does have really great humor but it's more grounded in reality and overall, is a more serious feel, especially compared to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I do think it could work though! Now if he's an actual doctor, he could be one of the doctors from Blue Sun. Maybe even had a part in doing tests and studies on River and maybe even Wendy. If you want him to have a connection with Mal as well, perhaps he was a doctor during the war, even fought in it, perhaps used his knowledge as a doctor to know the best ways to torture information out of people. Could have even been on the Browncoat's side, but when they lost, he went where the money was. Could have been he was always on the Alliance side, maybe even tortured Mal and/or Zoe at some point. War can turn people dark. There's actually really interesting backstories to some characters/villains I've seen in movies or TV shows where they'd gained a craving for some of the dark stuff they had to do. Going and working for Blue Sun, where he had free reign to play with human subjects as guinea pigs might just scratch that itch. Not sure if that's going too dark for you. Could be that they've got a double threat now of Blue Sun getting shut down. Simon broke River out so there's already someone out there who is proof of what was being done to people. Though her brain is pretty scrambled. Now Wendy's also out and Blue Sun and the Alliance probably know she'd do what she can in the time she had left to take them down and expose what's really been going on there. Just some ideas that popped into my tired brain. Won't hurt my feelings if you don't like them. If you were really looking to play him a lot like he is as Billy in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, let us know more what you had in mind. Maybe you're seeing story possibilities and character connections my brain can't come up with in its mushy state. As for a summary of what's going on, we honestly haven't gotten much farther in the storyline since you'd last been a part of it. We're still on the same day, just later on. Jayne had taken that finger and Wendy had used the print from it to unlock that tablet. They found out the location to the doctor Wendy was looking for, who she believes can help her. That's why they headed for the planet they're orbiting above and where they'd happened to come across Shadowheart in a crazy, random happenstance. Mal and Inara had a private conversation and they FINALLY lost hold of their stubborn control and had a little kissy, kissy time. (I need to reread that thread.... for refresher/research purposes...) Mal called everyone together again to rehash the plan. Now that Mads and her crew are there, he's gonna fill them in so they can all work together. We worked out that Dex was the one who suggested they go there, I think with the reason that that same doctor would be able to help Sally. Sally does have Simon to help her now and even though Simon is the best doc there is, the Serenity doesn't exactly have a wealth of doctorin' supplies. I think that basically sums it up. We haven't used Jayne much or mentioned what he's been doing. I can't remember if we mentioned him outside of the current Kitchen scene, but I really don't think we did.

Oh, actually... I was picturing him to be more Dr. Horrible and less Billy Buddy. At the same time, I think I wouldn't even picture him as a "total villain". Well, what is a total villain anyway lol? I don't like villains who are just evil or, at least, doesn't have some kind of tragic backstory that made him go such a path. I like those who you can have some sympathy for, or even feel sorry for. You're right about it wouldn't fit if he was too jokey and slapsticky. That was not my intention either. Just like you said, more kind of having a screw loose and maybe adding a morbid sense of humor. Also, of course he doesn't have to go by the name Dr. Horrible. XD But I'd like if he was a Dr.
Thanks for your ideas! But I don't see him as a member of Blue Sun tbh. Maybe not because that's too dark but because I picture him to be someone who goes his own past and maybe therefore being kind of unpredictable, for you never really know on which side he is. Maybe even actually on none but his own. It would even be interesting if Mal can't take him very serious, but then has to realize that he had become much more darker and dangerous than he was seeing him in the past.
I love your idea of him and Mal once having fought on the same side! I think I need some kind of tragedy happened to him; a reason why he went on that dark path, since I don't see it being only for money reasons. Maybe something could have happened during war? Maybe something for which he puts all blame on Mal and the Browncoats, and therefore started to hate him since then, although in reality it wasn't really Mal's mistake? Maybe even something Mal has no idea that it happened and just assumed his old friend had become mad and chose the wrong side because of money or power.
I definitely see him as a man of science. Or maybe he was just a normal doctor in the past, but later devoted himself to science and dubious experiments to either try to get something back he had lost, or an answer for something... well, something that has to do with that tragic past element. Bahaha, just realizing how he totally could be part of the Blue Sun. XD Or how about he pretends to be while he do it for only his own reasons. Maybe the experiments they did on River were some kind of important to him. Maybe he never was part of the experiments but made use of their outcomes, so more like the co-operating guy in the background.
There also is this thought of him once had a daughter. Having lost his daughter and going on a dark path to do anything to "get her back" or something just pretty much reminds me of Rumplestiltskin in OUAT. XD So maybe we don't want that. Also, thought it could be neat to kind of channel in Dr. Horrible elements with another meaning. Like Penny being a project of his, called P.E.N.N.Y, standing for anything, but has nothing to do with a human. Sorry, just writing everything down that popped into my brain yesterday. XD If it's sounding like total crap, feel free to say so lol.
Anyways, I would love if we could find something that might work with the actual plot. Or at least that would make it reasonable to have him show up at some point - maybe first time via kind of a video message?

Hey,
Have read through lots of the Firefly stuff and am working out where best to jump in as Simon as I know you have a story on the go. I can't quite work out which thread is the most current one featuring him due to different locations. Is it the one in the dining area or have the crew set off for the planet? x

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Aug 14, 2020 22:46:09 GMT -8
Hey wesleybucks! And also a bit of a summary for ellasp73 and pinkgurl85 so y'all can jump in! Yup, the dining area is the most recent. The location threads are in the order of most recent posts from top to bottom. Right now, the whole crew is in the dining area, finalizing a plan to head down to the planet they're orbiting. There's a doctor there who used to work for Blue Sun that they think might be able to help Wendy (my OC character who's like River but wasn't lucky enough to have had a wonderful bro to break her out). We kinda had them skip over talking out the details and thought we'd just play out the mission. We were determining in the Plots here who would be going and who would be staying aboard the ship. We haven't fully finalized, so you guys can add your input on how you feel about staying aboard Serenity or going on the mission. Before the Shadowheart was in the picture, we did kinda have a few mentions of Kaylee staying to help repair Shadowheart and Simon staying to look after Sally. But since the Shadowheart crew came aboard, they had a meeting to include them which could have shifted things around. Since this is a mission to forcibly invite the doctor aboard (aka kidnap if necessary, lol), I think they won't have too many going on the mission. They're trying to be quick about it because they're dealing with limited time. There's a satellite orbiting that keeps an eye on the doctor. We said it's an older model and that they're not overly concerned with what he's up to, so a small "malfunction" where the feed goes down for a little might sporadically happen and be ignored. They wouldn't bother sending Alliance or Blue Sun out to check things out unless it's out long enough for things to seem suspicious. Wendy has already hacked it and they're ready to shut it down before they take the shuttle down. We've made mention of all characters being in the dining area for the family meeting that Mal called. The RPG takes place shortly after the series and before the movie. Some connections your characters have outside of the show: Simon - He and my OC Wendy have formed a trust in each other. Wendy and River had an immediate connection due to their similar gift/problems. Wendy helped calm River and showed her a way for her to find her center when things went empathically haywire with all the emotions flying around that ship. It helped her earn Simon's trust. Simon helped Wendy out with her migraine issue. Blue Sun messed her up and made her dependent on these meds she can only get from them in order to keep her under their thumb. Things went sideways at her last mission which resulted in her having to go rouge. Hence her trying to track down Simon to see if he could help. Time is too short so in the meantime, they tracked down this doctor who was part of the botched surgery. They're hoping he can help or tell Simon what he could do to help. Simon helped patch up Sally's leg when Serenity docked with Shadowheart. Shadowheart had been floating dead in the air with oxygen nearly gone. Captain Madison is grateful. Don't think there was too much chatting between Simon and the Shadowheart crew, but someone will chime in if I'm wrong. I think that's all for Simon that steers out of canon due to involvement of OCs. Kristi had stepped in to play him for a bit. I think most of his scenes had been in the Infirmary. Nothing major, just what I said above. Kaylee - It's been said in-game that she's going to be helping get Shadowheart up and running. We had someone playing her for a very short time forever ago. We avoided using her since she didn't have a player. She's been lingering and observing, so she's pretty easy to pick up. Zoe - Same with Zoe as Kaylee. She's usually only been around within the Wash posts (Wash player writing some lines and reactions for her within the Wash posts). All Characters - Some big events off the top of my head that occurred in the RPG... Some of this is in the official timeline thread, but I'm so far from having it fully updated. They'd gone planetside to New Melbourne to meet up with Monte for a job he had lined up for them and for supplies. Some men followed Inara and Kaylee when they went off together for some shopping. They knocked Kaylee out with a hit to the head and injected Inara with a sedative. Monty happened along just in time and took the two guys out. Kaylee found a disk that had been slipped into her pocket and it was a message from Niska. The men were working for him and he'd had a plan to start taking out his revenge on Mal via people close to him. Shortly after they were safely back on board and ready to hightail it away from Niska's radar, Wendy showed up, having figured the Tams were hiding there (she had connections to anti-Alliance people and had been trying to find Simon for some time, wanting to get out from under Blue Sun and the Alliance's thumb). Unfortunately, the Hands of Blue were right on her heels, both trying to track her down and also having a hunch they'd find River. She and the Serenity crew took them out. For helping them out, Mal agreed to let Wendy stay and to help her out. The datapad they took off the Hands of Blue had the information on where to find that doctor. It was also mentioned that there's tons of info regarding the Alliance and Blue Sun on it, so it could used as a plot device later. I think that's it. Other players, if I've missed something, please feel free to reply! New players, let me know if you have any questions! Hopefully this wasn't too confusing. I was recalling things from so long ago and more things kept coming to mind as I typed.

I added a note to Tony's Jayne post in Whose Turn. Just reiterating it here for everyone to see: I removed the Round Robin. The meeting has ended and the group is separating which is basically creating a new scene so I don't think it applied anymore. Everyone post what you want, when you want, have them leave, have them stay. Talk to whoever. We do need to decide who all is going on the mission. We did a little time jump over most of the meeting so that decision was also glossed over. We really don't need too many people as they don't foresee any threats. Below is a list so far of who is definitely going. Please let me know if you plan to have your character(s) go with. Reminder that we probably shouldn't have too huge of a group.
