[ 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…

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Firefly's a real good show, but you're too late for Halloween, Mr. Castle!

TOTALLY FINE go for it

[bad_in_latin]

... You wanna repeat that sentence with words what actually make sense?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Wow, you're super committed!

It's the, half way into November though! Costumes went away forever ago.

[bad_in_latin]

This ain't a gorram costume, kid. S'what I wear all the time.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

[Hey. Don't gorram her mister. 8( She might be starting to get a liiiiittle grumpy now.]

This is getting no so fun anymore, Mr. Castle. When are you gonna be like, "Hey, Ripley! I'm back, how bout that? Let's go get ice cream!"

[bad_in_latin]

I'm tellin' you, kid, I ain't this Castle fella. Ain't got no clue who he is.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

...really?

[bad_in_latin]

Honest an' true.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Oh. Okay, I guess.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

WAIT.

So. You're actually for real the real Mal Reynolds?

[bad_in_latin]

... You know me, kid?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Malcolm Reynolds, loyal Browncoat, captain of the Firefly class ship Serenity and it's wacky crew of war vets, fugitives and random folk.

If you're really real then, yeah! 'Course I know you!

[bad_in_latin]

S'real but - where the hell'd you get all that?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Your TV show!

Yeah, Wash is my favourite character. I like the bit he does with the dinosaurs, "I call it YOUR GRAVE!"

[bad_in_latin]

... Not you too, gorrammit.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

He's other people's favorite too? I'm not surprised, Wash is the best. You're cool too, yeah, you're like super awesome, even when you're getting your butt kicked or getting shot a little, but Wash is just the best. That's just the way it is.
