[ The video is blurry at first before eventually focusing in on a gentleman in suspenders and what can only be described as some kind of cowboy coat. Leather duster? Whatever. Despite the apparent old-fashioned getup, Mal looks relieved when he gets the comm to work. Feels relieved, in fact. ]

… Well. Least the comm tech’s familiar. Can’t say as I tend to send many messages out all public-like, but this seems t’be a special occasion.

[ And he is desperately grateful for that familiarity. He adjusts his suspenders a moment before putting on a neutral smile. ]

Evenin’. The name’s Malcolm Reynolds. Uh - Firefly captain. And since that likely don’t ring no bells, that’d be my spaceship. I’m guessin’ that ain’t something anyone’s seen hair nor hide of here, but I’d surely appreciate anyone who might have a thought to it. Don’t hardly seem fair for this so-called righteous governin’ force to go takin’ our property. Anyone else get stuck with that particular hand? Or any chance of there bein’ a chance it’s been stowed away somewhere hard t’find?

Because I surely get tetchy all land bound an’ all. Don’t hardly do me no favors to keep me out of the sky.

[ All neutral still - since, y’know, the government has to be listening in on this too. Wouldn’t do to advertise a break-in right up front. Just a good citizen wanting to not go crazy in a new world…

While he figures out how the hell to drop off the grid as fast as possible.

After a few choice conversations, he adds the following message: ]

Anyone know a good bar to get drunk in?

I'll have you know there's tentacles an' extra eyes under this coat.

... Reckon I'd shoot myself afore then.

Same t'you.

[ He'll be waiting outside at that address, dressed in the same clothes as the video. ]

They're called gummi because there's a little bit of give to them. One piece is "a gummi". Also, they stick together really easily.

I'm not sure what exactly happened that the barriers came down. There's a threat in our world from monsters called Heartless, and I think they just... managed to worm their way through.

Prehensile or just showy?

... You want me there in twenty?

[ He won't argue, but it's a bit sudden. ]

Don't insult my kids.

[ By the time Solo makes it to Nonah, something like an hour has passed. The Porter system didn't prove to be that difficult, but there was still finding the portal itself, and then finding his way through Nonah proper. Once he makes it to the address, he spots Mal easily.]

It would appear the Porters really are all they're advertised to be.

Oh, you're free to come whenever you'd like. Just letting you know. So that you won't get there too early if you want truly excellent service. Or, I suppose, so that you can dash in and out if you want a drink without someone intensely charming and helpful and brilliant coming in and trying to meddle in your life.

An' then you built the ships?

Yeah. I mean, I don't have that knowledge, but there are a few people who are really good at putting them together.

Both, a'course. It's traditional.

Says more 'bout me than you an' yours.

[ So Mal's been waiting a little while ... eh. He's okay with that. It's not like he has anything better to do. ]

Y'got here in one piece anyhow. Even if'n you did make me wait.

Gimme thirty then. I reckon I need a bite to eat anyhow.

'spose it don't make any less sense than other things here.

I guess I'll give you points for that.

I like to make an entrance.

[ Which wasn't entirely true - he did prefer to be on time. But at least if he was going to be late, he looked put together. ]

[He laughs, nodding.] Yeah, well, ever since I've been here everyone's been telling me stuff from where I came from is weird or doesn't make sense. So I don't mind all that much.

Y'managed that. Where we off to?

Mm. Maybe. Space herpes?

Least they don't know your story afore you even tell it.

Good t'know I'm gettin' fake points off a stranger on the network.

Who're you, anyhow?

Is that happening to you?

Luke, distributor of fake internet points.
