A Saffron is YOU!

Right now they seem mostly interested in dropping you back off at your shitty little colony and getting rid of the captain's "marrage" problem.

Since I have this personality of Saffron lurking around in my head I'll let it out to play at every opportunity to cook and clean.

Your cooking blows their gorram minds. You seem to have a magic touch in the kitchen.

Get working on a friendship with Wash and Kaylee being the two easiest to get in good with.

With your cooking, the only person you can't get in good with is Simon, and that's because he's officially paranoid about his sister.

River calls you a lost little boy in a dress. Simon tells her that you're a woman, and river smiles and says she can keep your secret. Then she starts to dance around in circles giggling.

Make whatever suggestions come to mind to better Serenity plot or in universe.

At first they think you're just some little girl making trouble, but they quickly come to think you have a good head on your soulders.

The hard part will be realisticly getting the marriage annulled and either earning a real slot on the crew or getting dropped off on a planet where I'm not going to be raped and murdered and probably eaten the second I step out of sight of the ship.

It'll be a while before you can have it annulled, but you quickly do earn a place on the crew.

Wash pretty much says Mal either hires you on as cook or there will be a mutiny. Mal of course takes offense to this and looks to Zoe who calmly remarks that it was her idea.

Mal looks over the crew who all agree, except for Jayne. You see, with the cook being official crew, that would mean Mal gets an extra share because you're his wife and all. Wash points out he and Zoe are married so technically they get double shares, and Jayne says he knows, but doesn't have to gorramn like it.

[Hectonkhyres]

Huh. Thought this was going to be a Ranma 1/2 thread. I am sorely disappointed.
I wanted to be a perpetually reincarnated pheonix demigod, dammit.

Instead of pretending to be married to Mal I try to appeal to his sense of decency (it's in there, somewhere, I think) and lay on the sob story about the arranged marriage to a creepy guy more than twice my age waiting for me and beg and plead for them to take me somewhere, anywhere, and drop me off.. so long as where they drop me off isn't back at my home colony. Be sure to pull out my best whipped puppy expression whenever Mal raises his voice or looks like he's about to lay down the hard 'No'. If that works I make myself indispensably domestic during the trip to wherever they plan to dump me. Offer to clean Jayne's guns to, since they're so shiny, and they didn't let womenfolk handle such big guns back home.

You are married to Mal, actually...

Wow, darn, and it's legally bindin'? Hmm.. Well then I play up the 'I wanna be a good wife so I don't turn into a spinster or get married-off to mr. gross mcgravedigger' bit.. letting slip that those were my only options being a 'woman as property' on some backwater moon. Still go with being indispensably domestic and cooking fantastic meals and trying to follow Mal to bed every night, since I'm his wife and all.

Yes, you are legally Mrs Saffron Reynolds.

They're less than enthused hearing that. Even Jayne seems a bit offended by the idea... JAYNE.

Your food raises mortal quickly, and assuming you don't sneak into his bedroom naked and "make yourself ready for him" he gets the world's worst case of blue balls rather quickly due to Special Hell talks from Book and death glares from Inara.

Do I get the 'stand up for yourself and be your own woman' talks as well?

I don't try the sneaky route, but I do not take getting shut-out of my own nuptual bed well at all.. especially not when I'm married to Captain Tight-Pants. I start confiding in Kaylee, since she seems the very down-to-earth type, about how I'm worried Mal's seeming disinterest in me may mean that he's planning to put me (and my cooking) off the ship on the first moon we land on.

Also offer to help clean and maintain the crew's weapons, leave hints that I kinda have an interest in guns the way Kaylee has an interest in engines.

From Zoe, Inara, Kaylee, and Book. Zoe is very no nonsense, and you seem to think she is both disgusted and empathetic. Having you around and acting like that kind of insults her own identity as a warrior, but she does feel you were raised in a bad situation.

Inara is very terse with you and tries to gives you some 'companion wisdom', but she seems a bit too emotionally involved to detach herself like she does with her clients.

Kaylee just worms her way into your heart and plays the roll of the sister you never knew you needed. She tries to build you up slowly and kindly.

Book bombards you with religious wisdom and tries to convince you this isn't the only way... while speaking of Special Hells to Mal.

Kaylee says that the captain wouldn't do something so cruel. Though how hard do you press to get into his bed. You keep a great deal of OTL Saffron's seductive abilities, so if you play it right you might have little problem getting into his quarters (and those tight pants). Hell, try your luck you might even be able to get into Inara's skirts.

Also offer to help clean and maintain the crew's weapons, leave hints that I kinda have an interest in guns the way Kaylee has an interest in engines.

Zoe smiles a very creepy smile and pats you on the head. She then shows you how to clean her mare's leg. Mal and Jayne share a look.

Jayne is the first to speak, saying, "If ya learn ta shoot, yer still gonna do the cookin', right?"

The mousey little girl thing wears off after awhile, I still do the domestic stuff but start scolding the boys for leaving the messes in the first place. At one point I chase Wash out of My kitchen with a wooden spoon.

Inara is very terse with you and tries to gives you some 'companion wisdom', but she seems a bit too emotionally involved to detach herself like she does with her clients.

"Even back home we'd heard of the Companions and their legendary depths of patience and empathy."

"I.. I guess that only counts for your paying customers, not penny-free girls from the sticks like me."

Kaylee just worms her way into your heart and plays the roll of the sister you never knew you needed. She tries to build you up slowly and kindly.

<3 Kaylee so much.

Book bombards you with religious wisdom and tries to convince you this isn't the only way... while speaking of Special Hells to Mal.

I let Book know I have.. concerns.. about my marriage. My husband seems to be very distant and standoffish, disturbingly so. Was it something I did?

Kaylee says that the captain wouldn't do something so cruel. Though how hard do you press to get into his bed. You keep a great deal of OTL Saffron's seductive abilities, so if you play it right you might have little problem getting into his quarters (and those tight pants). Hell, try your luck you might even be able to get into Inara's skirts.

Oh, no doubt I could, but it amuses me to play things out a bit longer. In the meantime I commiserate with Kaylee about how having such a gorgeous boy just out of reach and how 'antsy' that can make a girl, I'm sure she can relate.

Zoe smiles a very creepy smile and pats you on the head. She then shows you how to clean her mare's leg. Mal and Jayne share a look.

Jayne is the first to speak, saying, "If ya learn ta shoot, yer still gonna do the cookin', right?"

"Of course I'll still cook, why wouldn't.. wait.. you're gonna teach me to shoot?" *Squee!*

He wines to Zoe about how the cute little Redhead is so mean to him... she laughs. He laughs. Everybody laughs. Jayne proves to be extremely well behaved around your kitchen, most of the time. You have to take a spoon to him many times to keep him from running off with something freshly baked, but he never complains, resists, or even considers using force. He just considers getting bopped on the head and run off the just punishment for getting caught.

Looks at you a bit unseemly like as he is Jayne and you do look like well this:



Besides that though, he tends to be about as close to a gentlemen as is physically possible and seems to be one of the fastest to accept the kitchen is your domain. If you ask him, he eventually admits you kind of remind of him his ma.

And yes, he does try and trade you for Vera. In fact he makes several offers. He seems to really like you.

"Even back home we'd heard of the Companions and their legendary depths of patience and empathy."

"I.. I guess that only counts for your paying customers, not penny-free girls from the sticks like me."

Inara recoils as if she's been struck, quickly apologizes, and says she needs to do something on her shuttle.

<3 Kaylee so much.

Everyone loves Kaylee so much...

EXCEPT COMMUNISTS!

I let Book know I have.. concerns.. about my marriage. My husband seems to be very distant and standoffish, disturbingly so. Was it something I did?

He tells you you're doing nothing wrong and that once its annulled you'll have a chance to start your own life for yourself without having to worry about people dictating your fate.

Oh, no doubt I could, but it amuses me to play things out a bit longer. In the meantime I commiserate with Kaylee about how having such a gorgeous boy just out of reach and how 'antsy' that can make a girl, I'm sure she can relate.

She gets a coy look on her face and you have a discussion about Cap'in Mal and his very tight pants. Zoe ends up joining in too. While she loves Wash to death, she does admit that the captain does look mighty fine in those pants. Mal of course walks in on this, picks up some of it, and walks out very mechanically with a sickly smile on his face.

Congratulations, you've given him nightmares.

"Of course I'll still cook, why wouldn't.. wait.. you're gonna teach me to shoot?" *Squee!*

Mal says he's not teaching you how to shoot. That is final.

Jayne says why the hell not, and that a pretty girl needs a way to defend herself.

Kaylee gets a bit huffy saying he never offered to teach her how to shoot.

Jayne tells her she already knows how to shoot, she just ain't the fightin' type. Too nice.

She tells him that is sweet.

Zoe says that this has to be the most downright decent thing Janye's ever said.

Simon joins in saying he is impressed by Jayne's act of altruism.

"What's altruism?"

Zoe then points out she still isn't going to trust him alone with you. He might be being nice, but he's still Jayne.

Mal points out he is the captain and that his opinion really should mean for something. He immediately gets ignored by everyone except for Zoe who gives him a look. He gives up with a shrug. Seems he objects more to his authorita being ignored than you learning to shoot.

[Tetsurou]

Well, there is a point to be made that the stuff you use in the kitchen for food preperation and normal cleaning chemicals could be made into some seriously nasty weapons if mixed in the proper proportions: channel my inner Burt Gummer.

[mackon]

We're heading for Jaynestown next and that's somewhere I don't want to be put ashore.

In fact I'm planing on not setting foot to mud.

I'll stay on Serenity and give everything a good clean. Then yell at everybody for tracking crap onto my nice clean floors when they get back.

Shame to miss Dr. Tams first swear word but ... no.

Your beloved husband respects your showing your strong, more assertive side, but would kindly rather you not do it by mixin' up expolsives on his boat. Least not without need or some place safe to store it. If somethin' should just happen to go off, it would end a mite badly for everyone. Hull breaches tend to be like that.

You probably will need to stock up on food, and Higgins' Moon does have some marginal supplies they'd be willing to sell. If you don't go down they'll just buy any old thing.

And a farm girl not willing to get muddy is a bit questionable.

Mal and Jayne have the good sense to look a bit bashful. Simon apologizes but hearing the Ode de Jayne has left him a bit shellshocked. Kaylee, Wash, and Zoe both offer to help you clean back up. Kaylee first, Zoe joins in due to a sense of responsibility. Wash makes a woman's work joke and his wife tells him to grab a mop. He answers with a very manly "Yes, Dear."

I apologize.. to Zoe.. for getting caramel-sauce in Wash's hair.

You have to take a spoon to him many times to keep him from running off with something freshly baked, but he never complains, resists, or even considers using force. He just considers getting bopped on the head and run off the just punishment for getting caught.

I pretend not to notice sometimes when he tries to sneak-off with some baked goods, so long as he leaves enough for the rest of the crew, on account of him being such a good boy and all.

Looks at you a bit unseemly like as he is Jayne and you do look like well this:
<snip-pic>

Holy crap, I AM the smokin' hotness!

Besides that though, he tends to be about as close to a gentlemen as is physically possible and seems to be one of the fastest to accept the kitchen is your domain.

He's such a sweet boy, I don't even mind the occasional lechery (back home he'd have been a much, much, much better catch than Mr Grody McGravedigger.). Why, if I wasn't married...

If you ask him, he eventually admits you kind of remind of him his ma.

Now that is downright unsettlin'.

And yes, he does try and trade you for Vera. In fact he makes several offers. He seems to really like you.

Ooooh, does he let me clean Vera along with the rest of the crew's weapons? If so, remember.. I am to Guns what Kaylee is to Engines.. I handle Vera in a manner such that if Vera were a girl of flesh and bone and not metal and plastic Jayne would have to excuse himself to his bunk.

Inara recoils as if she's been struck, quickly apologizes, and says she needs to do something on her shuttle.

Score 1 for team Saffron. And if any luck maybe this'll light a fire under Inara's butt to square away with herself what her feelings for Mal really are... even if that means I can't have Cap'n Tight-Pants all to myself.

Everyone loves Kaylee so much...

EXCEPT COMMUNISTS!

Dirty, Dirty Communists!

He tells you you're doing nothing wrong and that once its annulled you'll have a chance to start your own life for yourself without having to worry about people dictating your fate.

"Annulled? Is.. is it that bad Shepard? Can my marriage truly not be saved?"

She gets a coy look on her face and you have a discussion about Cap'in Mal and his very tight pants. Zoe ends up joining in too. While she loves Wash to death, she does admit that the captain does look mighty fine in those pants. Mal of course walks in on this, picks up some of it, and walks out very mechanically with a sickly smile on his face.

Congratulations, you've given him nightmares.

Next time after that conversation when everybody's heading to bed, and I follow behind Mal (as per usual) and he puts his foot down that I don't follow him into his bed (as per usual).

"Mal, you're not.. sly.. are you? I.. I've heard things like that happen, out in the black. It's okay, I'm a big girl, I can handle the news if that be the case."

Mal says he's not teaching you how to shoot. That is final.

Jayne says why the hell not, and that a pretty girl needs a way to defend herself.

Kaylee gets a bit huffy saying he never offered to teach her how to shoot.

I glee and give Jayne a very Big hug for agreeing to teach me to shoot, and act more affectionate to him in general.. but not too much so, I am still still bravely attempting to live the life of a 'Happily' Married woman after all... even if am showing an unseemly level of curiosity about those curiously shaped metal cylinders Kaylee has that take size-C batteries.

Does he let me shoot Vera?

You manage to endear yourself to him even more. He gets kind of protective and seems downright hostile to Mal over you. Either he wants to fight him for you, is willing to beat Mal into a bloody pulp if he ever makes you cry, or probably both.

Holy crap, I AM the smokin' hotness!

Yes. Yes, you are...

He's such a sweet boy, I don't even mind the occasional lechery (back home he'd have been a much, much, much better catch than Mr Grody McGravedigger.). Why, if I wasn't married...

If you ever say that he slips out of the room and decides to give the punching bag a whirl. He pounds the living shit out of it. There's a slight hard set to his jaw.

Now that is downright unsettlin'.

It's in a good way. His ma is the person he cares about most in the world and he'd kill anyone who so much as looked at her sideways.

Ooooh, does he let me clean Vera along with the rest of the crew's weapons? If so, remember.. I am to Guns what Kaylee is to Engines.. I handle Vera in a manner such that if Vera were a girl of flesh and bone and not metal and plastic Jayne would have to excuse himself to his bunk.

AYE!

The entire crew starts to laugh as Mal starts to sputter like mad and turn beat red. For a moment you think he's going to take you up on the offer but with a cry of the words 'SPECIAL HELL!', he makes up a lame excuse and sends you off to your room.

I glee and give Jayne a very Big hug for agreeing to teach me to shoot, and act more affectionate to him in general.. but not too much so, I am still still bravely attempting to live the life of a 'Happily' Married woman after all... even if am showing an unseemly level of curiosity about those curiously shaped metal cylinders Kaylee has that take size-C batteries.

You're a virgin. Using one of them would pop your cheery and that's for your wedding night (or when ever your husband mans up enough to give you one).

You acting affectionate around Jayne honestly starts making him seem a bit lonesome at times.

Does he let me shoot Vera?

No. He says he'd let you, but the cartridges are ruttin' expensive and findin' 'em out on the rim is gorram impossible. He doesn't even shoot Vera unless he's reckonin' to kill somethin'.

Such a sweet, hunky boy. If only Mal would piss or get off the pot on that concern.

Woot! The Tank is in my corner!

I try and get as much 'us time' as I can with me and Vera. Jayne viewing said time is optional, but not discouraged.

Maybe...

Another case of 'piss or get off the pot'.

He smiles and tells you that marriages should be based on love and respect. Your marriage isn't based on that. You don't even know the captain.

Methinks this Shepard preaches from a 'Book' more sheltered than 'That Old Time Religion'.

"I know that the Captain is Just, and Kind, and he wouldn't even have such a fine bunch of folks under him if he wasn't worthy of respect. And I could learn to love him, maybe.. if he let me.. I mean.. I Like him well enough already.. and.. well.. he.. in those pants.. " *Blush, Fluster*.

I mean, I AM a married woman now. I'm officially sanctioned to start paying attention to those urges and itches good virgins are supposed to pretend don't exist, right?

The entire crew starts to laugh as Mal starts to sputter like mad and turn beat red. For a moment you think he's going to take you up on the offer but with a cry of the words 'SPECIAL HELL!', he makes up a lame excuse and sends you off to your room.

Oooh, I have 'causis-bella' for Book being the source of my un-happy nuptuals. Ooooooh, that really steams my crimson tresses. Next time at the table, ladelling out the portions.

"And here we go.. for Zoe.. for Wash.. for My Husband.. Book (Kicks his shin under the table)... for Jayne.. for Kaylee.. (etc..)"

Missed a spot here. And BTW.. you are Awesome at RPing how the rest of the Firefly crew react.


Edit: to incorporate your edit.

I express interest in Kaylee's toys, but do not partake. I mean, that wouldn't be proper... although, if Cap'n tight-pants doesn't make a decision soon after I'll make the decision for him and demand a divorce.. and then maybe shack-up with Jayne.

Too bad about the cartridge situation. I console myself by making sure every nook and cranny of Vera's receiver assembly receives a lovingly applied dollup of No. 9 firearm solvent and lubricant by my lithe and delicate hands.

He turns a bit red and tells you that he is needed on the bridge. You see, the captain needs to do captainy things. And stuff. He does tell you, no bombs though, and that's final

Lol! Well put.

Woot! The Tank is in my corner!

Oh yes. You quickly get ranked next to Kaylee on his "Most Important Persons" list. Note, that pretty much means he'd commit murder if you asked him to. Not that you would, I hope, but still...

I try and get as much 'us time' as I can with me and Vera. Jayne viewing said time is optional, but not discouraged.

He gives you one of his girls and tells you to treat her real nice.

Aye.

Marriage is about love not like. He suggests that you annul the marriage, but stay on the ship. You can't go home, you've made that clear, but you can build a life here. He says he'll talk to the captain about making you the official ships cook if you'd like.

Its a paying position, which as far as he knows is one of the most honored and respected on any ship.

Oooh, I have 'causis-bella' for Book being the source of my un-happy nuptuals. Ooooooh, that really steams my crimson tresses. Next time at the table, ladelling out the portions.

He winces and takes it like a man. He's very understanding, but he's doing it for all the right reasons...

Missed a spot here. And BTW.. you are Awesome at RPing how the rest of the Firefly crew react.

I went back and fixed it.

Thanks for the compliment.

Kaylee gives the Captain a good talking to. He looks a bit frazzled. Those were some things he never ever wanted to hear Kaylee say. Ever.

Too bad about the cartridge situation. I console myself by making sure every nook and cranny of Vera's receiver assembly receives a lovingly applied dollup of No. 9 firearm solvent and lubricant by my lithe and delicate hands.

It brings a tear to Jayne's eye. Really.

Though backing up a bit, you're a couple days in and the ship goes dead and the chop shop sequence goes as in the series, but instead someone back on the moon planted a virus in the system. What do you do?

Y'know...I do know how to do massage, granted, I am a beginner, but thats worth something isn't it?

I know whats it like to be sore. So very bone-cracking sore. Even Jayne deserves a happy ending.

Of course, my skill set is pretty much limited to jujitsu, cooking, (back and foot) massage, and mother hen. Pretty much how I am in RL.

You don't have to rely on your own skills Tabi (and plaease! stop telling us about your skills!) you've got sex slave/domestic servant Saffron running around in your brain just itching to be let loose and get down with her wifely duties.

Oh yes. You quickly get ranked next to Kaylee on his "Most Important Persons" list. Note, that pretty much means he'd commit murder if you asked him to. Not that you would, I hope, but still...

I treat this as the powerful responsibility that it is.

He gives you one of his girls and tells you to treat her real nice.

Can't wait until we get the chance on some moon to go target-shooting. Until then, she keeps me company on those cold.. lonely nights.

Marriage is about love not like. He suggests that you annul the marriage, but stay on the ship. You can't go home, you've made that clear, but you can build a life here. He says he'll talk to the captain about making you the official ships cook if you'd like.

Its a paying position, which as far as he knows is one of the most honored and respected on any ship.

As much as I enjoy cooking for and socializing with the crew, and being paid for such would be nice.. I don't think Book realizes that despite this situation being arranged without my consent, doesn't mean I'm averse to it.. or wouldn't be if my 'husband' didn't seem like he was deliberately avoiding me.

The only reason I'm not pressing my case Harder, is because I know in a meta way how much Friction that would cause regarding the Inara situation.

Mmmmm, hard friction.... what? What are you looking at?

He winces and takes it like a man. He's very understanding, but he's doing it for all the right reasons...

And what was the road to hell paved with?

This becomes a habit with me for as long as I'm still 'Mrs. Reynolds'.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's like I'm reading un-used drafts from original scripts.

Kaylee gives the Captain a good talking to. He looks a bit frazzled. Those were some things he never ever wanted to hear Kaylee say. Ever.

Bet Jayne could stand to hear more.

It brings a tear to Jayne's eye. Really.

Though backing up a bit, you're a couple days in and the ship goes dead and the chop shop sequence goes as in the series, but instead someone back on the moon planted a virus in the system. What do you do?

Since I'm not in on it this time and so the bridge doesn't get welded shut I suppose we all find out how thoroughly humped we are a lot sooner. Once that has set in I'm assuming the virus doesn't disable the shuttles but just the means to launch them. I pow-wow with Kaylee and between her near-Spark level ingenuity and my country-girl know-how we try fixing a way to manually extend and release the docking arm for one of the shuttles so our DPS and Tank team can go persuade the chop-shop boys to let us pass with extreme prejudice.
