Bio

Sharing host/GM duties for "Firefly - Second 'Verse" with Wandering Wolf.

Other than that, kind of a goofball who loves writing stories and playing radio for an audience consisting entirely of my dogs.

Happy Thursday. Here's how it is:

China Doll has her full crew.

Captain - Cal Strand
First Mate - Rex Black
Pilot - Penelope Randall
Mechanic - Murphy "Murph" Gallagher
Medic - Alana Lysanger
Deckhand #1 - Joseph "Hook" Hooker
Deckhand #2 - Abby Travis

NOTE: If you're thinking about joining our crew but haven't settled just yet, don't despair! There are plenty of character types out there. Wolf and I will be happy to help you brainstorm.

Cal's out and about, rounding up supplies and one or two of our crew. Abby's sitting in a lawn chair at the foot of the cargo ramp, clipboard in hand as she tries to drum up some trade or a few more crew slots. Hook got himself squared away and went to the cargo bay to help lock down any cargo we book. We'll be receiving Baddger's mysterious crates after dark, along with the passenger he contracted with Cal. If the boat's in one piece and Cal didn't leave his keys in the saloon, word is we might just be pushin' off right quick.

Wolf and I are both working a couple JP's with new folks. If you haven't moved your CS to the Characters tab, now would be a great time. Also, feel free to get some posting in. Persephone and the Eavesdown docks are colorful places, and ain't none of you lacking in colorful ways to describe what your folk are up to. Have fun with it!
@Gunther I got a kick out of Whedon naming his bounty hunter Jubal Early, and I also appreciated the Joe Hooker reference in your CS. There's so much of American history that could be adapted to Firefly. I've always wondered what we'd have seen in further seasons.

As we move on, we'll discover little bits and pieces like "tribals," rustlers, energy barons, and the hierarchy and codes of gunfighters. All the while, the ghost of the Unification war and the depredations of the Alliance will impact us.

I think you're in the right place! (Dibs on Braxton Bragg as an NPC...)
@KallethSure thing! Open crew slots are First Mate and Mechanic (unless Wandering Wolf's done a back room deal.)

Also, passengers, Shepherd, Companion, etc. are open. Looking forward to meeting your character!
Good morning, all you folk!

So if you were following this thread instead of setting off Class C explosives in your back yard last night, you saw that we've got people jumping into the pool. As of right now, here's the crew of the China Doll:

Captain - Cal Strand
First Mate -
Pilot - Penelope Randall
Mechanic -
Medic - Alana Lysanger
Deckhand #1 - Joe Hooker (Hook)
Deckhand #2 - Abby Travis

Penelope, feel free to move your CS into the "Characters" tab.

Alana, I PM'd you this morning.

Cap'n says we're going to New Melbourne. Malcolm Reynolds made an observation about the place:

"You know, the only thing you're gonna find in New Melbourne is fish and fish related activities so unless you got the overwhelming urge to gut sturgeon... and who hasn't occasionally... "

If you're on the fence about jumping in, there are a million different character types who'd want to travel around the 'verse. Wolf and I will be glad to help you come up with something.

Happy writing!

@GuntherApologies; I just saw your earlier message. Caffeine does take time...

We can back it up a bit to let you grab supper and a break after tennis lessons. 9PM Eastern sound good?
@psych0pompGood morning. We're happy you want to join the band! Only challenge is we scooped up a pilot last night. Open crew slots at this point include First Mate and Mechanic. Abby could hire your person as a third deckhand, which would probably get her into trouble with Cal, but she's been in trouble before.

Of course, there's always a Shepherd or a Companion, but the 'verse is made up of plenty different folk. If you want to float a new idea past Wolf and me, feel free to PM. Looking forward to having you aboard!
@Gunther Good morning. That sounds good! My first free time is tonight after 7PM US Eastern.
@Gunther Sounds good. I’ve got a Gdoc we can share. My earliest time would be Monday evening Eastern time. Would that work for you?
@AalakrysWell that's just great news. Looking forward to your CS! You can PM Wolf and myself with any questions as you put it together.

In the meantime, Abby's out in front of the cargo bay ramp, taking names and wondering what she just got herself into. She'll keep an eye out for you.
@Aalakrys Great hearing from you, and thanks for the kind wishes. More important, congratulations on your little one!

If you do feel you’d like to give it a go, we’d love to have you aboard. Perhaps you could join as a passenger, to test the waters without an overt commitment.

Regardless, Wolf and I are glad you dropped by, and we hope to sail with you soon.
