[Jayne's audio post is a little... well. Maybe 'a little' isn't exactly accurate. Jayne's mad. Not smashing stuff mad, they'd have shot him full of tranquillisers if he'd done that. Again. The first set of tranquillisers is just about wearing off now, and he's still damn confused. He has managed to find himself a sit on a low wall though, and he's blinking in the daylight]

I ain't goram fictional. Do I look goram fictional? Do I? This is some weird Alliance gos se and as soon as I work out how you did it I am gonna... I'm gonna...

[He sighs, flops slightly. He doesn't believe it, can't believe what he was told. It's not getting through his brain very easily but... but he's on some weird moon. Somewhere.]

Someone tell me where a fella can find a drink 'round here.

I think you might be better served being pointed in the direction of a library. Or the spell check on the word processor.

[boycalledjayne]

An' ou might be better pointed in the direction of my fist, hwoon dahn. Makin' smart ass comments not helpin' a fella.

[inlibrismonstra]

I would be happy to assist you if I could make heads or tails of the mutilated garble coming out of your mouth.

[boycalledjayne]

Liou coe shway duh biao-tze! Why ain't you here sayin' that to my face? Don't I speak good enough English for you fancy-

[He cuts himself off, taking a deep breath]

Somethin' is wrong with your ears.

[inlibrismonstra]

Ni gen ben mei you nao. Yong ni de xi gai xiang shuan le.

I would say it to your face, but I can fairly safely assume your obvious anger management issues would only end in a fight, and I am enjoying my scotch too much to sully it with violence this early in the evening.

I do not have time to correct your second level English, and frankly, I doubt you could read the texts necessary to do so.

[boycalledjayne]

Least my head ain't shoved up....You got scotch?

[Look, Jayne don't like you, and if he does meet you, he'll punch you in the face no arguments, he ain't about to forget how helpful you were. But for the moment he can forget everything about it. There's booze]

[maiditoutalive]

i think you can find something to drink in these strange places called 'stores'
or maybe those 'water fountains'

[boycalledjayne]

Yeah. That's good thinkin'. Stores. You gotta have 'em round here somewhere.

[maiditoutalive]

several places probably
you never know though
maybe next week they will decide we are no longer allowed to use any of them and put everything on lockdown and special coupons
so you better hurry up and find one

[Audio, also there is incoming spam I am so sorry]

[hot4engines]

... Jayne...

[hot4engines]

OH MY GOD, JAYNE!

[hot4engines]

Is it you? It's gotta be you, don't it, ain't nobody else sounds quite like you do!

[end spam]

[hot4engines]

Where in the everlovin' hell have you been?! Wait, don't answer, I already know, where are you now? We got a lotta catchin' up to do.

[boycalledjayne]

....Kaylee?

I'm outside the goram hospital! Ain't had a drink, ain't got a gun, not even a little'un. One of those damn doctors was sayin' how the Cap and Serenity ain't real, all made up but... But Vera was real. You're real, ain't you?

[hot4engines]

Of course I am! I don't think I ever met anyone as believes that load'a fèihuà they feed us.

I'm comin' to find you, I ain't seen none of the crew for a long time now, and... God.

[There's a hint of a little sob in her voice.]

[boycalledjayne]

Weren't thinkin' you would. Where is this rock?

...There ain't any of the others here? Not even the Doctor? I... You ain't been lonely, have ya?

[hot4engines]

It's called New Moore, but damned if we don't got any idea where the hell we are, 'cept I'm pretty sure it's on Earth-that-was.

Simon was here for a bit, but he left months ago...

[And with that, she's spotted you by this time and is now jumping up and down and waving her arms.]

[boycalledjayne]

We're on Earth-That-Was? I thought that place was... all... [But what does he know? He doesn't speak again, not before he see's the little figure down the street jumping up and down like a rabid thing]

-> Action

Kaylee! I don't think I ever been more glad to see a fella.

[hot4engines]

[Once Kaylee was near Jayne, she paused, considered... then suddenly threw her arms around him, taking in a deep, shaky breath. She knew Jayne wasn't the huggy type, but damn it, he was here and he was familiar.]

You don't know the half of it.

[boycalledjayne]

[Jayne weren't expectin' to be hugged, but didn't push her off or away. It was Kaylee, after all, and he weren't about to say no, not when she squeezed tight.

And he even manages to return it- bringing his hands up over her back, patting at her.]

What else is there? We're grounded, ain't we? What's worse 'an that?

[hot4engines]

[Kaylee was a little surprised when he hugged back, but it wasn't like she cared, either- he was here and real and solid. She drew back and plopped down on the wall beside him.]

Bein' separated. From you, my crew, and from my ship... I know it don't make no sense, but it's been months an' months since I came here. I've made friends, sure, real good ones, but it just ain't the same. I been so lonely...

[riseup]

i've heard there is at least one bar here.
also, hi, you're my new roommate!
i'm john.
