Out of curiosity, how many of you have a training or a specialty? It doesn't have to be necessarily related to combat or weapons, of course, but being able to drink everyone on the Barge under the table - though commendable - doesn't count.

[She imagines combat/weapon-related ones will be the most popular, but she'd still like to know how much of a diversity (or lack thereof) there is.]

Out of further curiosity, what is it?

[There are enough smart-asses on board she thinks would just say they have training and leave it at that.]

And for those that don't have any, why not?

Mine has a travel setting. It fits in a duffel pocket.

[pvtparts]

That's a terrible lie.

video;

[surfaceshine]

Can you prove that it's a lie?

video;

[pvtparts]

Should I do another Barge-wide survey?

video;

[surfaceshine]

Oh now that's hardly fair. They're all biased.

video;

[pvtparts]

I believe when they're "all biased," there's at least a small nugget of truth in there, Dean.

video;

[surfaceshine]

Yeah but the question is, what is that nugget of truth? And which came first: the nugget or the egg?

video;

[pvtparts]

[See icon for silent facial expression.]

video;

[surfaceshine]

What.

video;

[pvtparts]

Nothing at all.

[The point of the silence, Dean, is that she need not say anything.]

[surfaceshine]

Look. I have a kid brother that thinks he's smarter than everyone the sun touches.

Just because he's right about most of 'em doesn't change the fact that I know when someone thinks I'm an idiot, and I'm here to say that I am offended and wounded by your harsh treatment of my fragile ego.

[deshabille]

Fragile . . . ?

video;

[pvtparts]

Not everyone's ego is as sturdy as yours, Mal.

video;

[deshabille]

You could build a house on mine.

[SHE IS TITAAAAAAAANIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUM]

video;

[surfaceshine]

Don't you two start this shit.

video;

[deshabille]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

video;

[pvtparts]

Can't imagine I'd want to though. It'd be like building a castle on top of a forest.

Seems like such a waste of a nice view.

[Dean's interruption has been denied.]

video;

[deshabille]

That sounded like flattery.

You must want something.

video;

[pvtparts]

Corporal, I'm offended. It was a sincere and genuine compliment. Not a single word was untrue.

[Saving from this nugget vs. egg conversation is a good place to start though.]

video;

[deshabille]

Well, I am an extraordinary specimen of natural beauty, so I suppose it is true.

video;

[pvtparts]

A handsome face, charming personality.

Mal, I do believe you're unstoppable.

video;

[deshabille]

[Okay charming is pushing it.]

We already knew that, though.

[TITAAAAAANIIIIIIIUUUUUUUM]

video;

[pvtparts]

[Sssshhhh!!!]

It would seem Dean has forgotten.

[TAKE YOUR AIM, FIRE AWAY, FIRE AWAAAAYYYY]

video;

[deshabille]

Oh, that's all right. I'm sure he's remembered by now.

video;

[pvtparts]

Quite fortunate that you came along when you did.
