拥抱 // First Embrace

[companioning]

{A. 愛 Action: 2241 Stevens Road}
[Something isn't quite right. She knows that before she even opens her eyes. The sheets aren't hers, for one, and the bed itself doesn't feel right. She opens her eyes and immediately pushes herself up.

Not her shuttle, nor is it anywhere she recognizes.]

Wǒ zài nǎli?

[Carefully she climbs out of the bed, pushing her tangle of dark curls from her eyes. Glancing once around the bedroom, she creeps over to the door, pulling it open.]

Hello?

{B. 愛 Phone}

Nǐmén hǎo. [Inara's voice is soft and even soothing, though she herself is actually very on edge at the moment.] My name is Inara Serra, and this is quite possibly the strangest thing that's ever happened to me.

[There's a slight pause before she continues.]

That's not the point though... Actually I was hoping that there might be others here who I know. Kaylee Frye? Simon or River Tam? [Another small pause.] Malcolm Reynolds?

{C. 愛 Action: Around Town - later in the day}

[She had found clothing - nothing of her own, but it had all fit her right down to the undergarments. It was possibly the most disturbing thing she'd experienced and she'd truly experienced some disturbing things.

She had needed to get away from the house, needed to clear her mind - needed to do that without looking at all the photos she didn't remember being taken. So she has no idea what she's looking for, but she's wandering around the town, glancing into the various stores she's passing.]

Inara? Inara, that really you?

[Kaylee sounds like she almost can't believe it]

Action - Around Town

[charming_freckles]

[Sue is running around town as per usual with her ever constant partner in crime Puffy when she notices Inara and stops in her tracks. This woman... she's got such poise! Such regal bearing! Such class! How, how does she do it? She shyly approaches, Puffy perched on top of her head like an oversized bow.]

Uhm... good afternoon, miss!

[Amu is around the house and hearing someone call out she goes to check things out seeing Inara near her door] Ah- did you just arrive here?

[cueball]

That's Chinese, yes? It must be strange to be in America all of the sudden. [A small chuckle follows.]

[A loud, undignified snore comes from the man-shaped lump in the bed.]

Inara! Shun sheng duh gao wahn, you wound up in this camp too?

What they got you doin'? Tip-toein' around in a flowery apron bakin' apple pies or somesuch?

[His sharp tone suggests that he's not happy with any of this.]

((Oh please do hover over the Chinese for a translation. It's a good one.))

Phone

[hontobakabaka]

I've just recently hired a Kaylee on as the engineer as my ship. Would you like me to leave a message for her when she stops by next?

[Hm... If Inara hangs around long enough, she might hear a mild commotion emanating from the exterior of the hardware store.]

Help! Help! I could use some help... a little assistance, even.

[Boy, is that... is this the way you call for help? He's never actually done it before -- it seems so... comic-book-y. Tony's not sure he enjoys it. He'd rather just fall over in a manly sort of way, in the general vicinity and sight-line of people who happen to able to help him, without having to actually ask for it. Preferably he falls right into the arms of a beautiful woman.
...Actually, he'd rather not need help at all. It's beneath him. Ick.]
