Mod note: Looks like this and a couple posts above are only revolving around Firefly, so I'm gonna move them from Collab to Firefly plots. Oh, that's right! I wrote all that up for the last person who'd signed on to play Simon. Ariel, thanks so much for digging that up! We've had a few changes since, so let me correct those now: As far as Dr. Nakamura and bringing him aboard the ship, since I wrote this, Tony created a new character who is lying in wait in Dr. Nakamura's place. I don't think we've said what happened to Dr. Nakamura, if Tony's character simply sent him off or something worse, but that's not important right now. They aren't going to be bringing anybody on board. They're just going to obtain information on what it is that the Alliance did to Wendy and how to cure it. I'm thinking it's better that Simon does not go along. It wasn't just that we didn't have a Simon player, but also, Wendy did lock him in the infirmary because she doesn't want the Tams to be involved as River is a big time person of interest to Blue Sun and the Alliance. Wendy's thinking that eventually, Blue Sun or Alliance is gonna figure out Wendy was there or might have thought to have gone there and if they interrogate Nakamura, they'll learn that Simon had been with her and it'll be easy for them to connect the docs to Serenity. Wendy took an immediate fierce protection over River. She does not want her found. Since Simon had insisted on going, Wendy thought it easier to lock him in the infirmary and lie to the others on the shuttle that she'd managed to talk him out of it. Another change in her connection to wanting to keep River and everyone well out of reach is that she'd planned to stay behind on the planet with Nakamura. She has very low expectations of Nakamura being able to help her and thinks she's only got a few days left before what's wrong with her kills her. Definitely not necessary to ruin all these other people's lives. They think they're going to meet a harmless doctor who retired early because he was not comfortable with what he was doing at Blue Sun, so two people going along with Wendy is plenty in their minds. It'll be Wendy, Mal, and Dex. River will have stowed away and don't think she'll reveal herself until they've landed/almost landed. As far as all the Shadowheart crew, Lee-o was playing two of them; Captain Madison and Sally. She's been on hiatus. The other was Jeb and Jester isn't playing him anymore. So you don't have to worry about the Shadowheart crew that much. They're still there, but kinda just in the background. Probably gonna say that they're back on their Shadowheart ship, working with Kaylee on their ship repairs.

Would it be at all helpful for me to temp another canon character, like Wash? I've been reading and I think I'm caught up from where I left off. I just feel terrible that Smare hasn't had anyone to interact with yet, even though I'm sure it's probably super fun sitting in the Infirmary.

Sure! It could be Wash or whoever else isn't going on the mission that doesn't have a player. Only Mal of the Firefly crew is going. So Wash or whoever you feel comfortable playing that doesn't already have a player. Only don't let that person find Simon until the mission has taken off, if you don't mind! I think we were talking about Kaylee, being temped by Ariel, being the one to find him, but only because we had nobody else with a player that was staying behind, except for Jayne who'll probably be sulking somewhere, lol! And Inara is currently annoyed and in her own shuttle. I was gonna have her go along with Kaylee to the Shadowheart to assist with repairs just so she'd have someone to talk to, so we could have Kaylee and Inara head off to do that and that would leave whoever you're temping, Kristi, to stumble across the infirmary and find Simon locked up in there. Speaking of, mission crew players, let's get the mission going! Do we need to play out this last minute meeting or should we skip to it having happened and Jayne all bitchy about not going? XD I definitely wanna do one Wendy reaction post to the Dex post, then I'd be ready for a little time jump to them taking off in the mission shuttle. DarkSideCookie Ariel Kristi Lynne Smare

I'd be fine with skipping that last minute meeting. Since it's me who temp plays Mal, I would talk to just myself anyway, lol. I'm fine either way, though. Also, all my chars are ready for time jump. And if that's helpful, I have no plans for Jayne, too.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Aug 7, 2021 8:47:33 GMT -8
Well, basically the point was Mal wanted to talk to Jayne, right? So if Dex arrives at the tail end and Wendy just as Jayne is stomping out, then we don't really need to do a time jump. The little exchange Dex and Wendy had was probably enough time for Mal to tell Jayne he wasn't going, lol! Also, could be both Jayne and Wash (or whoever Kristi temps) stumble across the Infirmary area about the same time and both work together to get Simon out. Would give a nice three people to a scene which gives more of a fun dynamic! I'm gonna do a Wendy reaction post right now. I'll end it with Wendy exiting to the Kitchen, but I won't do that post yet. I think probably since Mal and Jayne were there longer, there should be that tail end of the "meeting" post between them, then Dex, then Wendy. What do you guys think?

Shiny! After I wrote that, I went to do my Wendy post and things changed up a little bit. Not that it'll affect anything. Just that Dex and Wendy will probably be arriving same time rather than Dex a little ahead of Wendy. Either that, or Jayne storms out and the meeting is over before Dex and Wendy got there, lol! We can play by ear.

I think I'd even prefer the second. We can keep it short that way, and then I also don't have write some kind of instruction post from Mal.

No rush on Simon, he's fine. I made sure he has a juice box and puzzle in there. xD
In all seriousness I am good to do a thread whenever of him getting found locked up after the mission has left!

FYI Ariel in case you missed it, in Whose Turn, I edited Tony's Jayne and Mal to the rest to say that Dex should go next. Tony wasn't sure where Dex would be. I figured he'd be right behind Mal. I think we're ready to get onto the mission shuttle! I'm gonna have Inara head off on her own. If anybody wants to do a scene with her, let me know! We do need someone to find Simon. Was figuring it'd be Kaylee, but Ariel, if you're too busy to temp-play her, I could make it be Inara. Maybe Kaylee or also Inara are looking around for River, who they don't know sneaked onto the mission shuttle and one of them stumbles across Simon. I'm thinking that the away crew will be landing soon before Simon finally reaches out to them to tattle on Wendy. Not sure when/if Smare is going to be back, but I don't want things to be stuck, so we'll just have to temp-play Simon into our posts or something when needed. After all that, I was thinking maybe Inara goes with Kaylee to help her with fixing the Shadowheart? Ariel, if you're too busy keeping up with your other characters, I could keep her around to interact with characters there, which I think would only be Jayne. Yay? XD

Until then, I will continue with Dex! Hollywood Heidi DarkSideCookie

Hey Heidi, do you need me to reply to your Wendy post? Actually, I let Mal exit already before and Dex had already followed him as well. We could eihter edit the end of our posts or say that Wendy followed them in the end of yours. I'm fine either way, but think we could just leave it at that and exit all of them to the Mission Shuttle. Hollywood Heidi Ariel

Oh, sorry. I think I got confused because it didn't say they exited to somewhere, only exited, so I assumed it was the lower cargo bay area? Not sure. Been awhile since I posted that so I can't remember what I was thinking. Would it be okay if you guys take that exit line off and I can exit them all into the Mission Shuttle? I had both Inara and Wendy reacting to Mal and Dex as if they were still standing there. Mal could actually answer her question from the Mission Shuttle. DarkSideCookie Ariel

Okay. So you edit the end of your post, let them all exit to the Mission Shuttle and then it's my turn next? Just asking to be sure. Hollywood Heidi

Yup! That’d be perfect! 😊 I’ll see if I can try to do that from my phone even just to get it squared away as quickly as possible.
Edit: And done via phone! 😊

I've got Wendy up next but need to work out a few details before I know how to approach it. Tony's gonna temp Simon. Ariel was talking about temping Kaylee as the one to find him but since Smare went poof and Simon's only being temp-played, we don't necessarily have to have a second temp-play unless Ariel wants to. I could have Inara wander down to the living area to grab something before heading to the other ship to help Kaylee and she could find him and get him out. I've got nothing else for Inara to do. I mean, she could even call for Kaylee to come help mess with the programming to override the door and get it open. Also, we need to keep in mind that the Shadowheart crew is still around. I think we should say that they all went back to their own ship to get Sally comfortable in her own quarters whilst she heals while the rest of them start working on repairs. That explains why we haven't heard from them and why one of them hasn't stumbled across Simon. Ariel DarkSideCookie

Yep, like mentioned, I'd be down for temp playing Simon. A Kaylee would be cool, but I'll leave that to Ariel if she thinks she can handle another character in the game. Other than that, I'll have Jayne free to interact since he's not going on the mission as well.

Hey folks, looking to make my return to the crew. If you'll have me... So, Wash, Madison, Sally at the very least. Heidi was telling me that DarkSideCookie has been temping the captain. If you want to continue with him that is perfectly fine with me.

Yay!! I'll get those back active for ya! We'll see what Tony says. It's just been temp-play so far, but I have no idea if Tony was considering taking him on permanently. If not, I'll switch him back over to you also.
For now, I'll get those others over to ya!

Hey Lady Lee-o now that you are back with Mads and Sally, definitely no rush but when you are settled in again, I would love do so some sort of flashback scene between Dex and Mads. I would feel like in their captain and shipmate relationship that they would have found a fond and trusting friendship. Perhaps it could be a scene where she initially may not dig his vibe and he is gone on one of his first 'expeditions' she may be thinking he probably won't return, but then he does and he brings something back that would benefit the entire crew. Maybe it was something they needed, or a personal need of hers. It could be the very moment that secures a bond of trust between them. I am very sorry that it may be shattered later xD But his intentions currently in the rpg are swaying from the Alliance over to the good guys, although still slightly conflicted.

Ariel I'm so down for a flashback scene, yeah. Madison has connections with the alliance through her work as a companion, which she does on occasions. Certain things she would not be able to get without suspicion. The authorities can't prove that she was a Browncoat or find evidence of her involvement. However, her spending time with known Browncoats- it's turned some heads and caused big alliance supports to steer clear of her. I wouldn't be surprised if Dex feeds that information to the alliance once he finds out. I can maybe she has a pick-up on a nearby world but Sally has gone missing again. Last resort she asks Dex to go and retrieve the crate and bring it back? That is one idea.

All, a reminder of something I just realized and posted about in the cbox. When marathon is over, we need to work out dates for all the happenings that take place after the show. Right now, the timeline is just a list in order of things as they happen, but since we're bringing in a flashback thread, I realized it's important that we work that out.
It would also be beneficial so that we know if there are special event days (holidays, birthdays, Unification Day for Mal to find himself in an Alliance-friendly bar in, lol).

Just saw my above post and realized that we never got around to figuring exact dates! After this marathon, hopefully we can remember work on that. I made note of it on my spreadsheet. Wanted to reach out about the current scene with Kaylee/Simon/Inara. Thought it could be short and sweet, have Simon freed in my Inara post up next and him rushing to the bridge to radio out to the mission shuttle (I think radioing out of the ship can only be done from the bridge and shuttles?). So at the end of my Inara post, I'm going to have them all exit to the bridge. That'll get Wash into the scene with them. Simon could be explaining as they step onto the bridge. Hope that's okay with everyone!
