Serenity's got about another 32 hours before they hit Ezra.

The waiting before a job is usually the worst part, and today Mal is feeling it more so than others. He's checking in with the bar when he receives an eyepatch and a watergun the likes of which he hasn't seen since that ridiculous Assassin game in April.

There's a smirk when he shoves the eyepatch into his pocket, hopping behind the bar and scrawling out a sign before asking Bar for a 3' by 5' cloth.



Mal walks out the door to the lake, damn near whistling.

[ooc: I'm on gchat for any coordinating that might want to happen. Uh. It's not a huge boat, but it'll do. I'll put up an organizing post somewhere if this gets people involved.

ETA: This thread is for any arrivals if you are participating in shenanigans.

ETA AGAIN: OOC COMMUNICATIONS.

And it continues: The Battle Thread. Onlookers welcome.

And food for the spectators. And the winner, obviously.]

"For sport?"

[likesthecoat]

"To protect people. Defender of the earth, me." He nods, looking every inch like a young accountant who's lost his jacket.

"None of these aliens look like brains with faces or giant talking dinosaurs...do they?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"not that I've met, though we do have an actual dinosaur. A pterodactyl. We call her Myfanwy."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Is it a jerk? I remember pterodactyls being jerks."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"No, she's quite nice. You know, for a non-verbal reptile. She like chocolate and swing music, though I blame the swing on Jack."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

This doesn't seem to convince Mike of the dinosaur's niceness.

"Everyone likes chocolate and swing music."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Well, she's the only pterodactyl I've ever met so it seems unusual to me."

"We ran into a whole nest of them that time we were stuck in the Jurassic period.

Or was it the Mesozoic?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Cretaceous," Ianto says.

He does know everything, after all.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"That's it! That's when we were. HUGE fish, sadly no chips."

Woe!

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"That's terrible. Chips are the best part about fish and chips." He considers. "That and the fried Mars bars."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"The pre-stone ages are kind of lacking in deep fry technology. Though, we tired it once with this lava flow..."

The grimace alone speaks volumes.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

Ianto winces in sympathy. "That's not so much deep-fried as it is ultimate barbecue."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Original Cajun style."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Without even the pepper." Ianto shakes his head and tsks.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike snickers.

"And people wonder why we don't let Raph anywhere near a kitchen. He was the original bad cook."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Poor Raph, too," Ianto says. "I could go for some blackened fish." He sips his smoothie.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"I think that might be the one thing I don't have out here. How do you feel about steamed shellfish?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"I feel it is both nutritious and delicious."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike points to the unobtrusive portion of the beach that is sputtering and steaming.

"They might be done. Should we crack it open?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Yes," Ianto says and gets to his feet. "What have you got?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Lobster, crab, and Quahogs. They're wrapped in seaweed and then encased in a salt crust."

He's very proud.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

Ianto smiles at him. "That sounds so good it'd be almost a shame to eat them."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike looks over the rims of his Donald Duck sunglasses.

"But if we didn't eat them, then they've died in vain."
