[OOC: I'm in ur Serenity, kidnappin ur creepy girl]
OK, Firefly muns.
River is going to get "kidnapped" by the Master - not really since she wants to go, but Simon won't let her. There's a couple ways he can do it; it won't be RLed out or anything, this post is really so we can all agree on exactly what happened.
Master's ship has been completed. The rest of this week he'll be torturing Nine - long story - but sometime next week he'll pop over to Serenity to grab River and take her to see Kvasir (oh yeah, and some dinosaurs). Now, he can be stealthy and ease up on the ship, evading detection, board it and sneak her away in a very ninja-like fashion. Or... he can be completely blatant about it, hail them, and tell them his intentions.
The second method is more likely but it would involve hypnotizing most of the crew. This is Master's canonical power; the ability to psychically dominate others with his voice and gaze. Someone with a strong enough will - or even minor psychic ability - can resist this, but most humans can't.
So here's where our stories have to match. Either River gets stolen away in the night and no one knows what happened to her, or Mister Saxon pays a visit and is just so damn nice that no one could resist him.
Thoughts?
