Goddamn bounty hunters... You'd think by now, at least, they'd have gotten the memo and found some other mark to go after. I'm getting pretty tired of having to vanquish one every time I turn around.

[more grumbling before a pause]All right, what the hell's going on here? There isn't a plane existing that I can't shimmer out of, and I know damn

Comments

Oh noes, she recognizes that voice.

[yousethimfree]

...

Did you say shimmer?

[athames]

Did I stutter? Yeah, shimmer as in "I can't anymore".

[yousethimfree]

Yeah, that happens a lot here.

Got a name, sport?

[athames]

I don't suppose anyone's been able to fix that, have they.

It's Belthazor. And you, sweetheart? [cole can toss around nicknames too, ruby :'>]

[madrassa]

You're an inmate aboard an inter-dimensional prison ship, and I don't suppose you'll be leaving any time soon.

My apologies. We call it the Barge -- and I'm Inara Serra.

[athames]

Inter-dimensional prison ship. Can't say that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of.

...Belthazor. It's a real pleasure. [and that would be sarcasm right there. a lot of sarcasm.]

[madrassa]

You'll be assigned a warden in eight days time. Until then, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the layout of the place.

[athames]

Just one warden for little old me? [chuckle] Must have some pretty bang up guys on the job then.

Let me make sure I got all this. I'm an inmate, I get a glorified babysitter in about a week, and until then I get to roam free around this boat. Seems kinda lax for a prison, don't you think?

Video

[theoriginalbamf]

I'm sure everyone has already clued you in on the whole Magical Purgatory Ship bit, so I'm just here to say hello. Hallo!

[waves with tail]

I'm Kurt Wagner, and I don't shimmer so much as 'BAMF'

[BAMFS a few feet to the left] And yeah, I used to be able to dance through dimensions but here? Not so much.

So, are you a wizard?

audio;

[athames]

Huh. So this thing can do videos too? Very high-tech. [isn't phased by the tail or the blueness or the bamf-ing at all]

Hardly - last I heard they were all but extinct. I'm a demon.

Private - Video

[theoriginalbamf]

Ja, you just set it to video, audio or top write. And to private and filters and things.

Me too. Demon, that is.

I'm a Warden. Let me know if you need anything.

[private] audio;

[athames]

Much nicer than my old Blackberry. [and now Cole's just going to be fiddling around with his comm for a while]

[offhandedly:] ...Can't have been a very good demon if you're on that side.

Accidental voice reply

[victimofnoone]

That's phenomenal. Because all we need is another arrogant killer running around here-- Oh.

[She realizes it's on, there's a pause. Then she continues as if actually trying to reply.]

Welcome to the Barge.

audio;

[athames]

Very subtle, that.

And it's not arrogance when you actually are better.

audio;

[victimofnoone]

My bad. It was kind of unintentional.

Spoken like a true egomaniac.

audio;

[athames]

Here I thought it was just your unique way of greeting people.

You don't last long in my business otherwise.

[gray_atonement]

You can teleport?

[athames]

Apparently not anymore.

Private

[gray_atonement]

Ask your warden, when you have one. I can help you.

Private

[athames]

...What kind of help, exactly. [suspicious? Cole? nooooooo]
