RPG: 12/23/2006

Shay Jiutai bangs pots and pans in the galley, humming to herself in a satisfied way, she goes over to the comm and pushes the button, "Coffee is ready in the Galley for them's whats up!"

Billie: mmm coffee

Gabriel Keats swears indistinctly from one of the bunks

Gabriel Keats: "How in the ruttin' hell are these people up so gorram early?"

Shay Jiutai giggles enough to make her shoulder hurt

Shay Jiutai: Hell, Billie ain't it?

Shay Jiutai: hello that is...

Gabriel Keats heads into the kitchen, eyes red rimmed, holding his head. "I could do with some of that. . ."

Shay Jiutai eyes the pirate suspiciously...."mornin' Gabe... sure... here ya go"

Billie looks harmless

Gabriel Keats takes the cup, walking a little unsteadily as he takes it and starts gulping it down

Shay Jiutai: Sleep well?

Shay Jiutai notices some red in Gabriel’s eyes

Gabriel Keats glares at Shay. "Ain't like I remember. I suppose so. Mind tellin' me why we're servin' breakfast to them what shot you?"

Shay Jiutai pbangs a pot particularly loud "Ain't like we gots a choice, We're all here in the balck... folks gots ta eat!"

Gabriel Keats grouses quietly

Gabriel Keats seems to be doing his best Xiao Li impression

Shay Jiutai mixes some egg like protien on the stove top...

Gabriel Keats half-hopeful. "Don't s'pose you've got anythig stronger back there."

Shay Jiutai turns with an impish grin "what were you thinkin'?"

Gabriel Keats tries to answer, turning a little green at the smell of cooking protein. "Whiskey." His voice is a little ragged.

Shay Jiutai: "anyway where you last night?"

Billie sits still and keeps to herself

Gabriel Keats sets his jaw. "Sleepin'"

Gabriel Keats: "And you?"

Shay Jiutai sighs and produces a bottle for the striken Gabrial... "bettern' just go slow with that stuff..."

Shay Jiutai: Gettin shot at!... and erm sleepin too!

Gabriel Keats: "I did notice the shot part."

Shay Jiutai: "kinda hard not to..."

Gabriel Keats's face goes a little less cranky, a little more concerned. "How you doin'"

Shay Jiutai adds some herbs to the egg-lioke mixture in the fryin' pan " I'm on top o' the world today!!!"

Gabriel Keats unscrews the top of the bottle of whiskey, takes a swig

Jiutai: " I told ya to take it easy with that stuff!!"

Shay Jiutai: "morini' Capt'n coffee?"

Rae Overholt enters the galley, called by the smell of food. "morning shen, how are you? Hurt much? " *looks at her with concern before glancing at gabe*

Gabriel Keats: "I can handle myself, Shay."

Rae Overholt: Gabe.

Shay Jiutai: "SHHH>>> here comes the Cap'n"

Rae Overholt blinks in surprise at shen.."What?"

Gabriel Keats looks at her, face unreadable. "Yeah?"

Rae Overholt: Little early for whiskey dont you think?

Gabriel Keats: "No."

Rae Overholt sidles up to him and snatches the bottle and tosses it back to shen, not caring if any is spilled. "I think it is."

Rae Overholt hands him her coffee

Shay Jiutai: "carefull cap'n I got open flame here!"

Rae Overholt: sorry shen.

Gabriel Keats gives her a deadly look.

Rae Overholt smiles sweetly at him.

Gabriel Keats looks at her for a moment, then starts laughing.

Gabriel Keats: "Hell, fine, Cap'n. You're the boss."

Rae Overholt: Just remember that.

Shay Jiutai whistles to herself as she stirs the egglike protein...

Rae Overholt: What's that you're cooking shen?

Gabriel Keats closes his eyes and sighs. "I will"

Shay Jiutai does not notice the two at the table, really she doesn't

Shay Jiutai: really

Shay Jiutai: "just some "eggs"

Rae Overholt: I'm awful hungry, and thirsty. Coffee's excellent. Eggs smell good too.

Gabriel Keats winces at the mention of the smell.

Shay Jiutai: I think I got some pork here too... want a link or two Cap'n?

Shay Jiutai: 'me pulls out another fryin' pan and heats it up...

Shay Jiutai goes to the comm "anyone else for breakfast?"

Rae Overholt: That would be shiny.

Shay Jiutai finds the sausages in the freezer and pops them into the nuker to de-frost them...

Gabriel Keats gives Shay an apologetic look. "Don't suppose I can ask for a piece, cranky as I was this morning?"

Rae Overholt chews on her bottom lip as she smells the sausages cooking

Rae Overholt: Morning Sabrina.

Rae Overholt: You alright today?

Shay Jiutai looks at Gabe..... of course

Sabrina McGee: 'cos I'm not "dressed" appropriately.. ;)

Shay Jiutai: "HI S"

Gabriel Keats grins brightly. "Thanks!"

Gabriel Keats is suddenly in a much better mood

Shay Jiutai pulls the floppy sausages out of the nuker and places them in the lightly oiled, hot pan where they sputter and spurt

Gabriel Keats: "I ain't even going to ask how you got those; I'm just going to be grateful." He bounces over to the table and hops up to sit on it

Shay Jiutai stris the eggs and grates some REAL cheese on top

Rae Overholt: ohhh..cheeese

Gabriel Keats doesn't seem to be bothered by the smell anymore; is grinning

Shay Jiutai grins at Sabrina... "Coffee dear?"

Sabrina McGee wrinkles her nose.. "Yuck!"

Gabriel Keats laughs. "Well, you're certainly in a good mood."

Shay Jiutai: I guess that's a no

Gabriel Keats gives a quick, fleeting, leering grin

Shay Jiutai pulls a few plates down from the cupboard with her good arm....

Rae Overholt watches Gabe from the corner of her eye, concerned.

Gabriel Keats raises his eyebrows and grins more widely.

Shay Jiutai starts to serve up the eggs and pork links to Rae and Gabriel...

Rae Overholt pales slightly and decides to find a place to sit.

Shay Jiutai: "here ya go..."

Rae Overholt: Thanks Shen!

Rae Overholt: Mornin Sabrina

Gabriel Keats takes it and quietly says, "Thank you."

Gabriel Keats looks at Sabrina. Blinks. Looks away.

Shay Jiutai serves up a plate of "eggs" and sausages for herself and Sabrina...

Shay Jiutai: "here ya go ... did you want coffee?

Sabrina McGee wrinkles her nose again.. "I hate the taste of it.. How's your arm though?"

Sabrina McGee puts an arm around Shen

Second Life: Shay Jiutai has left this session.

Gabriel Keats chuckles, grins conspiratorially at Rae. "They're cute, aren't they?"

Rae Overholt looks at the two, "yeah, they are." Looks back to him, puzzled.

Sabrina McGee sticks her tongue out at Gabe.. "You're one to talk... so mrow!"

Gabriel Keats glares at her, demeanor suddenly changed, but says nothing.

Sabrina McGee looks at Shen.. "Need help in the galley today?"

Shay Jiutai: "just sit and eat hon... I'm good"

Sabrina McGee notices Gabe's glare.. "What? It's not like I haven't noticed how you look at the Captain.. "

Sabrina McGee takes her plate to the table and sits down to eat..

Gabriel Keats clenches his fists tightly on his plate

Sabrina McGee: No offense, Cap'n..

Shay Jiutai gets an idea " well if you helped with the dishes..." smiles impishly...

Rae Overholt turns slightly red, "none taken" as her eyes go between the two.

Rae Overholt: Shen, you take help, be careful on that arm till its healed.

Sabrina McGee: All right.. when we finish eating, Shen?

Gabriel Keats mutters. "Goddamnit..."

Shay Jiutai takes her plate and sits at the table

Rae Overholt kicks gabe under the table.

Gabriel Keats looks at the Captain. "What the hell was that for?"

Rae Overholt mumbles and looks at her plate, "poor manners."

Gabriel Keats: "Fine." ::slides off the table::

Sabrina McGee: So, Captain, any word from Johnny about how that last job turned out?

Sabrina McGee: ::munch munch::

Rae Overholt grinds her teeth in frustration, feeling helpless and hoping the others dont notice. "No word yet. Hopefully soon."

Sabrina McGee: Oh, Shen.. did you still wanna teach me how to shoot?

Shay Jiutai: "how ya feelin this mornin' Cap'n, did ya get shot up?

Gabriel Keats smirks at Sabrina. "That's what they call it?"

Rae Overholt: I'm making it shen.

Shay Jiutai: Yeah babe... we can go down to the range... I can't believe ya pulled a gun on that Johnny guy without ever having shot one before!""

Rae Overholt: that johnny blaze still out? Where's billie? Mont still locked in the crait?

Sabrina McGee: No, they call that one the horizontal mambo.. teaching me how to shoot is legit.. seeing as I'm apparently the only one on this ship with no luck with guns.. and now we got pirate captains boarding us with only me, the Doc and Xiao Li on board.. I'm guessin' someone needs to learn to defend the crew that stays on baord..

Gabriel Keats looks far off, as though he's focused on something else. "I could show you a gun."

Sabrina McGee: well, it's not like I don't understand the concepts of "point at object, pull trigger.."

Shay Jiutai: No offence, but we got a date...

Sabrina McGee: but I understand that it does require some practice to actually -hit- what you point at..

Gabriel Keats looks away. "They have them on the core..."

Rae Overholt looks sharply at gabe, then back at the others.

Rae Overholt thinks to herself, "quiet, quiet, quiet"

Gabriel Keats looks down at the ground, doesn't say anything.

Sabrina McGee: suppose I'll have to actually get firearms before I can practice, huh?

Rae Overholt: Might help.

Gabriel Keats closes his eyes tightly

Gabriel Keats's face goes slack for a moment, then he looks up, eyes more focused. "I. . .um, have an extra revolver. I don't use it much. . .it's antique."

Gabriel Keats: "You can have it if you want."

Sabrina McGee: Umm.. okay, I guess..

Sabrina McGee: I just want something I can wear on my hip, I guess..

Gabriel Keats looks up at the ceiling. "Too many people in here. . ."

Rae Overholt: Maybe you should finish breakfast in your bunk Gabe. Rest a bit.

Gabriel Keats: "No. . .I'm fine. Really."

Shay Jiutai: Ok then, let's go down and blast a few holes in some targets, after breakfast...

Gabriel Keats: "I'll head over to Rol's after breakfast. . .should be all right there."

Gabriel Keats stretches, yawns.

Rae Overholt: What you going to do at Rol's?

Shay Jiutai: I think I have an spare revolver ya can carry... but I'lll let ya see what it's like to shoot a good gun too...

Gabriel Keats: "Usual."

Rae Overholt 's lips form a thin line. Getting up she places her dishes in the sink and then stiffly turns and makes her way to have a look at the infamous Johnny Blaze.

Sabrina McGee hrmms..

Sabrina McGee shivers..

Gabriel Keats collapses, face into his hands as soon as Rae leaves.

Sabrina McGee: Ummm.. Gabe?

Sabrina McGee: You sure you're ok?

Shay Jiutai: "so what did Miss Johnny say this guy downstairs did that deserved us shootin' up his crew like that?

Sabrina McGee: hijacker her ship and cargo, I think..

Shay Jiutai: "leave him alone... s'OK"

Gabriel Keats glares again at Shay. "It ain't okay."

Shay Jiutai: "c'mon, if ya can get his plate"

Gabriel Keats grabs it violently, clattering it against the table. "I can do it myself!"

Shay Jiutai pickes up her plate and heads to the sink"

Rae Overholt eyes billie in the medbay area, "Dont be getting any ideas about the captain."

Billie: nah, you aint gotta worry none 'bout me

Shay Jiutai stares at Gabrial, dumbfounded...

Johnny's where he was left- Though a little less stuffed into a cabinet. That floor can't be too comfortable, though... Heavy dosing's kept him from going much of anywhere. And, you know, re-opening those bullet holes.

Sabrina McGee sighs.. "Okay, whatever.. fine.. " ::heads over to the sink to help with dishes..

Gabriel Keats: "You two think you're perfect, but you ain't. You're both ruttin' humped." Turns around to stalk out of the room

Rae Overholt wanders over to the cabinet Johnny is locked in. "Ok in there pirate?"

Sabrina McGee: Okay, Go PMS Somewhere else then.

Shay Jiutai sighs and picks up Gabriel’s plate after all and takes it to the sink...

Gabriel Keats turns back around. "Don't *talk* to me like that!"

Rae Overholt eyes the parrot blearily. "Why the ruttin hell is it only bad stuff."

Johnny Goodliffe: Johnny groans a bit from inside his 'cell', but... Might need to hit him with the counteragent before he can talk?

Rae Overholt kicks the cabinet. "Dont make me lock the parrot in there with you."

Sabrina McGee: Look, Gabe, I don't know what your deal is today, but I'm getting sick of it.. Chill out. If you're gonna be an asshole, go do it somewhere else. And before you ever try to order me around again, remember who controls the air scrubbers and ventilation to your bunk.

Shay Jiutai sighs

Billie: billie looks calm, and says, Petey only gets riled up when there is acation

Rae Overholt: That so.

It’s not that Johnny -won't- talk, but more of, -can't-...

Rae Overholt: Petey psychic then?

Gabriel Keats lunges at Sabrina, grabs her. "Don't *threaten* me!"

Rae Overholt eyes billie, "You hear something?"

Billie: Nah, the sound of guns gets him going

Rae Overholt makes a note to get the doc to look at the pirate in a few.

Billie: no ma'am

Rae Overholt: I don’t hear any guns.

Billie: no guns now

Rae Overholt: Fancy dancy thing isn’t he.

Rae Overholt: What's his story anyhow.

Rae Overholt 's ears perk up for a moment.

Shay Jiutai stares at Gabriel "let her go" she says in a quiet voice

Billie: Ol Petey was a preachers pet, He had some strange notions

Rae Overholt: I reckon he did.

Rae Overholt opens the cabinet and smacks johnny on the face.

Rae Overholt: Wake up.

Shay Jiutai: "I SAID LET HER GO!!!"

Gabriel Keats: "I'm not going to listen to you. You're a killer."

Billie: Leastways he aint quote'n the scripture

Rae Overholt 's ears twitch again.

Billie: huh? what was that

Gabriel Keats lets her go suddenly, backing away, glaring at Shay.

Rae Overholt slams the cabinet and makes her way back up to hte gally

Johnny mumbles something- Well, he -felt- that, but aren't sedatives wonderful things?

Billie: I hear some thummp'n about

Gabriel Keats suddenly takes a swing at Shay.

Rae Overholt: What's going on in here?

Rae Overholt: GABE

Rae Overholt launches at Gabe

Billie: I raised 3 boys, and I know when sompt'n goen on

Shay Jiutai easily dodges the attempted blow and jumps to the open facing her new "opponent"

Sabrina McGee takes her wrench from her belt and swings it at Gabe.

Rae Overholt: ENOUGH! STAND DOWN!

Gabriel Keats ducks out of the way of the wrench, scrabbling against the floor

Rae Overholt glares at them all.

Shay Jiutai: "come on coward... show me what ya got!"

Rae Overholt: SHEN

Gabriel Keats looks at her, voice hollow. "I'm sorry. . ."

Rae Overholt sets the coffee cup down steadily and turns. "I said..enough."

Rae Overholt looks back at Gabe. "Get in your bunk."

Sabrina McGee: I oughta lock you in the shuttle with Xiao Li for that..

Rae Overholt: That might be an option.

Sabrina McGee crosses her arms and scowls..

Rae Overholt: Sabrina you ok?

Gabriel Keats hurries out, looking at the floor. "I'm sorry. . ."

Sabrina McGee: Just a little wrinkled and nervous..

Shay Jiutai: "come here hon"

Rae Overholt: Something's..he isn’t himself..I'm going to keep an eye on him. We'll deal with it.

Sabrina McGee shivers again.. "So cold in here today.."

Rae Overholt: you two go do something useful, or relax, I dont care.

Shay Jiutai: ?what is with him?

Rae Overholt: Seems it's gonna be one of those days.

Rae Overholt: I don’t know shen, maybe he doesn’t handle battles too well.

Shay Jiutai snorts

Gabriel Keats shouts from his bunk. "I heard that!"

Shay Jiutai: "like at all"

Rae Overholt marches past and to gabe's bunk. "Get up. changed my mind. Wanna speak to this Johnny blaze character."

Rae Overholt: Shen, enough.

Shay Jiutai: C'mon, S... let's clear out..."

Rae Overholt: Med bay. Now.

Gabriel Keats shoots an apologetic look at Sabrina and follows

Rae Overholt gives billie a look, "Might be some leftovers upstairs if you are hungry."

Shay Jiutai sighes with relief as they leave

Billie: That coffee sure looks good ma'am

Billie: thankee

Johnny Goodliffe: Johnny's still just laying there, a nice unconscious little prisoner...

Gabriel Keats looks at Johnny and twitches.

Shay Jiutai squeezes Sabrina's hand, "does that hurt much babe?"

Rae Overholt nods at her. When she leaves she turns to Gabe. "You needa avoid people if that happens when youa re around them. Go visit Johnny. Tell me if you well..tell me what you get."

Billie: 'scuse me, cap't said i could have some leftovers

Billie: Petey preens his Feathers

Shay Jiutai looks over at Billie" well I recon... ya gots a right to eat too... hang on a sec..."

Gabriel Keats puts a hand on Johnny's forehead.

Rae Overholt stands at the doorway and watches.

Shay Jiutai rummages around the galley and produces some dry cereal and soy milk for Billie...

Sabrina McGee rubs her hand tenderly.. "I'm okay, Hun.. more startled than anything else..

Billie: Thankee kindly

Shay Jiutai: ?me looks concerned, " Somethin' not right with that one today" she says as she starts washing dishes.

Billie: billie begins to eat the rather tasteless, but nutritious meal

Gabriel Keats speaks in a far off voice. "There's a figure. . ."

Gabriel Keats turns around, looks at Rae, giving her a not-so-nice up and down look, smirking

Sabrina McGee sighs.. "I'm gonna head to the engine room.."

Billie finishes quickly, and goes to help Shen with the dishes

Shay Jiutai places the dishes in the rack "I suppose I could make some toast for ya... if ya like toast, that is"

Billie: Toast would be nice, but if ya got a few soy nuts for Petey here?

Sabrina McGee: ::sounds of metallic clanging and banging come from the engine room::

Gabriel Keats gets the far off look again. "It's a partner. He wants her. . .wants her as bad as--" He stops, looking at Rae. "He got a partner?"

Shay Jiutai pulls down some bread " I guess we might have something here that could put meat on his bones" Shen eyes the bird with a hungry look...

Billie: ol Petey was a Preachers pet

Billie: he had some strange notions

Billie: fancyed his self a poet or sumpten

Shay Jiutai places the heal of the loaf in the toaster and puts the rest of the loaf away

Billie: Petey croons

Billie: with delight

Sabrina McGee bangs on the walls and the pipes in the engine room with her wrench..

Rae Overholt looks at gabe, noticing his gaze. "guess he might. I'm thinking I might have an idea of what's goign on here. Can you give me more?"

Shay Jiutai clatters around more to find a few filbert nuts and hands them to Billie "think that bird will eat these?"

Billie: Petey hops over to Shen, brushing his head against her arm and eats out of her hand

Gabriel Keats's face crumples. "She's dead. . ."

Rae Overholt: Dead...

Rae Overholt: I'm guessing...no.

Gabriel Keats whirls on her, eyes blazing. "You killed her in the raid!"

Rae Overholt takes a step back. "You prefer me dead."

Shay Jiutai watches as the bird eats the nuts "who told you he belonged to a preacher, the guy what sold 'um to ya? did he also tell ya he only took him out on Sundays?"

Billie: heh, after the raid on our town, he and I were the only things left alive

Sabrina McGee: ::There's a much louder clang and then you hear:: "OW!"

Rae Overholt tries to ignore the clanging over her head, beginning to get a slight headache.

Shay Jiutai looks surprised "you were raided?"

Gabriel Keats's voice is terse, barely controlled. "No..." He starts breathing fast; his pupils dialate and his jaw sets.

Rae Overholt: Spose he would though.

Rae Overholt nods at the pirate. "I can live with that."

Shay Jiutai raises her voice "Ya OK in there?"

Gabriel Keats's hand slowly slides up to his gun

Sabrina McGee: The Raven BIT me!!

Shay Jiutai: "then bite back!"

Rae Overholt eyes the motion. "Dont do it Gabe."

Billie: yep, I was out in the fields getten some stuff, and when I came back, it was all gone

Sabrina McGee: That's only for you!!

Billie: That was some 2yes ago

Shay Jiutai: "All gone? heehee... ignore her"

Gabriel Keats breaks away and scrambles up onto the examining table, drawing his gun, eyes wide with fear

Billie: lots of mess and blood, the whole place jest tore up

Shay Jiutai: Who attacked ya?

Rae Overholt slowly walks up to him and reaches out for the gun, talking soothingly, "Gabe, its ok. Give me the gun."

Billie: dunno, I wasnt there ta see it

Shay Jiutai voice goes quiet "Reavers?"

Billie: we was just a small place, some houses and some crop

Gabriel Keats: "Get away from me!" His face twists in pain.

Sabrina McGee: I was talking to the Raven.. taking my frustration out a bit.. and I smacked my hand with the wrench..

Billie: Well I don’t rightly know

Billie: It coulda been anyone

Rae Overholt moves quicker and wraps her hand around the gun, "no gabe, calm down. It'll be ok. THink of something calm, waterfalls, meditate."

Shay Jiutai looks around "what's all that yelling below?"

Gabriel Keats looks at her, hatred filling his face

Billie: awful lot of thummpin go'n on

Sabrina McGee: Probably more fun from Mr. Mental Instability.. that, or your Cap'n woke up..

Rae Overholt refuses to let go of the gun and attempts to remain calm, thinking of something pleasant.

Shay Jiutai is thankful she is having a pleasant conversation with a pirate she tried to kill a few days ago in the Galley...

Gabriel Keats's finger tightens on the trigger. . .then his arm goes slack, and he lets go of the gun

Rae Overholt takes the gun, and looks at him, "You there Gabe?"

Gabriel Keats swallows, nods.

Sabrina McGee: So, was that just a job to you then?

Shay Jiutai: "Soooo, hmmmm... how did you become a pirate" Shen asks in a calm voice.

Billie: well now, thats a tale...

Gabriel Keats: "I think he was dreaming."

Rae Overholt: Make any sense to you.

Sabrina McGee: You just don't seem such a bad sort.. guess it seems odd you were shipping with them..

Billie: when the town an everybody was gone, I jest started to wander

Shay Jiutai: "i'm sure it is..."/me looks at Sabrina"Let me kiss that"

Billie: took some time afore I got to a nother town

Gabriel Keats: ::something slides across his eyes again as he looks at her. . .then it's gone." He's drugged, and he's in pain. He's dreaming about the attack.

Gabriel Keats sounds more lucid than he has all morning

Rae Overholt: Maybe we should drug you. Would it help?

Rae Overholt: We got anything to wake him up? I"m no medic.

Gabriel Keats: "I was trying to do that. You wouldn't let me."

Billie: I didn’t have much skills, but I could shoot, and so I worked some on ships and such

Rae Overholt: Doc's apparently sleeping like the dead.

Gabriel Keats gives her a reproachful look.

Rae Overholt gives it right back to him.

Billie: and then Jonny comes along and offers me a job

Gabriel Keats: "Adrenaline always works. I ain't a doctor, Rae."

Billie: says we don’t have to get rough, so I says alright

Gabriel Keats has the grace to look embarassed. "Sorry for pulling a gun on you." A pause. "Can I have that back?"

Billie: we didn’t have to get too rough, Cap't Jonny was smart, and kept it clean mostley

Billie: I never had much chance to go to space

Rae Overholt: You can have it back when I know you wont pull it again. We'll get you straight soon enough. Dont worry.

Shay Jiutai grins at Sabrina, eyes the bird that is trying to climb into her cupboards, and asks"what did you do for 'Capt'n Johnny'?"

Rae Overholt: Guess we should wake him up. You know where anything might be in this med bay?

Shay Jiutai takes Sabrina's hand...

Sabrina McGee smirks

Gabriel Keats closes his eyes, trying to remember where Rio put everything that night. "I thought I saw some syringes over there that looked like they could have adrenaline”

Billie: Mostly moved cargo for 'em, but he wanted us to holler and carry on when were pirate'n

Billie: mostly moved cargo, but he wanted us to yell and holler when we boarded ships

Rae Overholt: Check it out then.

Gabriel Keats opens the drawer, takes out a large syringe, reads the label. "Yeah. This is it."

Rae Overholt: You know how to do it?

Shay Jiutai: What did ya do on.... what planet did ya say you were from?

Rae Overholt: Seems a bit much to waste meds on him when he'll wake up on his own though.

Gabriel Keats: "Yeah." A grin. "You want me to kick him for you, Cap'n?"

Rae Overholt: No Gabe, if he is out, he cant cause trouble, wont suffer too much either.

Gabriel Keats: "He's in a lot of pain."

Rae Overholt: Don’t know why. doc gave him sedative.

Gabriel Keats: "You hwun dans really hurt him"

Rae Overholt grumbles, "Give him some morphine then. Doc already patched him up."

Gabriel Keats looks angry again for a moment.

Rae Overholt ignores the look, hoping it will pass.

Billie: i come from Triumph, little place called wheaton

Gabriel Keats starts going through the cabinets. ". . .I didn't want to do this, Cap. You made me."

Rae Overholt: What?

Billie: weren’t more than 30 of us

Gabriel Keats pulls out an IV. "You made me touch him."

Rae Overholt: I'm sorry Gabe.

Rae Overholt: He wont need an iv

Shay Jiutai: "do you mean Wheadon? I served there for a brief spell"

Rae Overholt: let's look for that air hypo he gave me the other night..it should do.

Gabriel Keats starts going through everything.

Billie: nope Wheaton, Wheadon was to the south

Gabriel Keats: "You want it to go away. You want me to control it. You want me to use it. You can't have it both ways."

Shay Jiutai: "that's probably why ya don't look familiar"

Billie: wheaton is way up north

Rae Overholt sighs and looks depressed. "I'm sorry. I have to admit. It'd be useful. But not if you are miserable."

Gabriel Keats holds something up that kind of looks like a hammer. "This it?"

Rae Overholt: I think so.

Rae Overholt: Does the label on the vile next to it say Menesthofeen?

Gabriel Keats picks up a couple of the vials. After examining one of them, he nods. "Yeah, this one." He attaches it to the hammer like thing.

Gabriel Keats gives Rae a look. "You ever use one of these?"

Rae Overholt: Nope

Gabriel Keats sighs. "Hell."

Gabriel Keats: "Well, might as well be me they kill if I screw up. Seeing as I'm good as dead anyway."

Gabriel Keats preps the hypo and heads over

Gabriel Keats murmurs a quick Our Father and presses the button to administer it

Johnny jerks at just the wrong moment- Air hypos, and movement, equals blood, who'd have guessed! For a very brief moment, his eyes are wide open, staring at Gabe...

Gabriel Keats jerks away, screaming

Sabrina McGee: So, who's up for a game of tall card?

Billie: that sure sound nice

Shay Jiutai: why not

Rae Overholt eyes the pirate. "Dont go getting any ideas. You don’t need anymore holes."

Gabriel Keats huddles against the side of the table

Rae Overholt shakes her head as he is out again. Gotta fix that patch now. Looks at Gabe. "It's ok" Reaches out and touches his hand calmly.

Billie: I raised 3 boys, and buried my man at that town

Gabriel Keats calms down. "I hate being like this. I hate being this weak"

Shay Jiutai: did you bury the boys too, or did they leave?

Rae Overholt: Stronger than I am Gabe. Duno what I'd have done if it were me.

Billie: my oldest got killed durin the war

Gabriel Keats: "I'm going to fix it."

Billie: others were gone after the town got hit

Billie: never did find them

Gabriel Keats: "I swear to god, if I have to put a bullet in my own brain, I'll fix it."

Rae Overholt stands up and looks for something to patch Johnny back up with. Finding gause and tape she applies pressure and then tapes him up.* "No you wont."

Billie: its all right

Gabriel Keats just gives her a dark, lost, lucid look.

Gabriel Keats then smiles. "I will. Remember, I'm perfection itself."

Rae Overholt blinks at him. "We'll fix it, no bullets in the brain pan"

Gabriel Keats: "Especially since you took my gun."

Rae Overholt: Yep. Cant lose my dance partner.

Gabriel Keats looks away. "Can't lose crew."

Rae Overholt: I'm gonna keep a close enough eye on you that doesn’t happen.

Gabriel Keats smiles sheepishly. "That mean I get to share your bunk again?"

Rae Overholt: well, might be fun to irritate Xiao li.

Gabriel Keats glares at the unconscious pilot. "Wish we could wake him up"

Rae Overholt: Doc'll handle him

Gabriel Keats: "Yeah, if he ever gets his ruttin' pigu in gear."

Rae Overholt: yeah

Rae Overholt looks at Gabe again. "You sure you're ok for now?"

Gabriel Keats: "For now. Didn't mean to frighten you."

Rae Overholt: You will have to make it up to shen and Sabrina.

Gabriel Keats: "I think I'd better stay out of the kitchen for a while, though

Rae Overholt: Might should. Maybe should get them some chocolate.

Gabriel Keats: "I heard that usually works"
