river_meimeiThere's a certain district on Beaumonde where nobody from Serenity much wants to go any more. There are a lot of bad memories there. There's also a lot of notoriety, if you happen to be River Tam, and potentially a lot of people with scars and grudges.
However, Beaumonde's a whole world. There's more to it than one dive bar.
Half a planet away, in a different city, there's a pedestrian market of the sort frequented by both tourists and locals. It's full of color, in paint and flowers and bright draping fabrics. It's also missing most of the neon, and most of the general air of seediness. No good for handovers of illegal goods -- but plenty good for a girls' day out.
River and Kaylee have a mission.
And the mission is: fun.

(She seems entirely too amused by this.)

Somebody missed the 'metaphorically' memo.
"Skipped the nitroglycerin," she adds, in case Kaylee got confused about that.

Date: 2009-05-14 05:00 am (UTC)Kaylee surveys the structure sadly.
"There goes the neighborhood."
no subject
Date: 2009-05-14 05:29 am (UTC)River blinks down at her not-exactly-cube, as if just discovering it.
"I evacuated," she adds, and offers Kaylee another doughnut. Since it's demolition time, and all.

Date: 2009-05-14 05:40 am (UTC)Kaylee says this once her mouth is no longer full.
"What's on the agenda?"
no subject
Date: 2009-05-14 06:17 am (UTC)Of course the future still has monster movies.
"Fun," she adds, decisively and wholly unhelpfully.

Date: 2009-05-15 04:37 am (UTC)And grins. "...what, like leather pants with fringe?"
no subject
Date: 2009-05-15 04:45 am (UTC)Yeah, the narration is wincing too.
And then gives Kaylee a very dubious look. Patiently, "Leather chafes." Duh, Kaylee!
no subject
Date: 2009-05-15 04:48 am (UTC)Beat.
"Long as you're doin' work, I mean."
Kaylee probably means what you think she means.

Date: 2009-05-15 05:01 am (UTC)Interpret that as you will.
