Serenity OOM Idea:
Okay, so I've spoken to a few of the Firefly muns about this idea, and rather than trying to catch everyone on AIM, I figured I'd just make the general post here.
Here's the gist. Ford is currently hopping around through space-time in an EVA pod with a Kangaroo Relocation Drive. Which, if you're unfamiliar with Hitchhiker canon, is basically an emergency escape mechanism. You don't get to plot a destination; it just throws you through space and time without a care, and there's no way to figure where you'll end up.
So, using this idea along with my personal desire to thread with the Firefly group, I had the idea of Ford running into them at some point. This can happen in a couple of ways, depending on what people are interested in. The two main ideas I've come up with are:
1. Ford pops into Serenity's cargo hold. For simplicity's sake, the ship should be maybe a few hours away from planetfall. That would allow Ford some brief interaction with the crew, and then he'd offload himself and pod planetside and go off to do his own thing.
2. The crew are on one of the outer planets in the middle of some job or other (the more disreputable, the better), and Ford's pod just appears in the middle of it for great chaos.
So, what I'd like to know is, which of you would be interested in participating, when you would be available for such threadage, and which scenario sounds more fun/interesting/workable. (Or if there's something else that seems more sensible.)
Thanks!
