Doctor Outlaw?

Is that the BEST you can do? Your icons also leave a lot to be desired.

No, no I don't think I want to be here. No... I'm sorry. I'm ah... afraid this just isn't going to work out. Look, it's nice meeting you. It'm um... Flattered? Is that the right word?

...

Ok, so you're not going away. I don't what you're doing. Oh, you don't know what you're doing either?

Great.

Just great.

Fine... let's do this.

What am I supposed to do? Just talk.

Fine.

Um... hello out there!

Am I done?

[compressioncoil]

Aww, it's okay, Simon. We ain't gonna judge you by your icons. 'least, some of us aren't.

Mine are pretty shabby, too.

[doctoroutlaw]

Kaylee!

What are you doing here? Do you have one of these 'mundane' people too then?

It's good to see you here. Well, it's not good that you're here but I'm glad to see you.

[compressioncoil]

Hi, Simon.

I do. She tends to ignore me sometimes, leavin' room for others. I don't mind. Not many others 'round it seems.

But now you're here! So maybe she'll let me out more. 'Cause it's real good to see you, too.

[doctoroutlaw]

Let you out?

Ta Ma Duh what kind of arrangement is this anyway? I've seen Jayne. Is anyone else here? Is River here?

It's good to see you too.

[compressioncoil]

Y'know, to play with the others.

I've seen Jayne! And 'Nara, Wash once, and our cap'n. Oh- and I did see River! Bet she misses her brother somethin' awful.

Certainly glad you think so.

[doctoroutlaw]

Play? Doesn't sound like much of a game to me.

You've seen River? Where is she, I need to find her. W-was she all right?

[compressioncoil]

It's called roleplaying, Simon.

Just around, no place in particular, unfortunately. Wish I had. If I had, I'd take you right there, no questions asked.

[doctoroutlaw]

Role playing?... [He shakes his head, sighs, and pushes his hand through his hair.] Sounds less like play and more like a nightmare.

Around? Kaylee what are you talking about? I... I don't understand this place.

[compressioncoil]

It can be.

In, ah, memes. They're these things that the muns sign you up for. Then you go around doin' some of the prompts. They can be anything.

[doctoroutlaw]

I ah... don't think I like that idea. It takes a lot of trust in these mundane people, doesn't it? And I'm not sure I have that.

What kind of stuff have you done? Are you all right?

[compressioncoil]

It does. But mine's never done anything bad t'me. Maybe yours will be just as nice.

[Here's hoping.]

Not... much, honestly, so I'm just shiny, Simon. Whole lot better now that you're 'round here, too!

[doctoroutlaw]

I'm not so sure, but I'll hope.

[He can't help but smile at her saying it's nicer with him here. It's slightly awkward smile though, he looks down and rubs the back of his neck.]

Well, I'm not glad either one of us is here, but I am goad to see you. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.

I've seen Zoe now too, you know.

[compressioncoil]

It shouldn't be. Not if there are the two of us.

[Her eyes grow wide.] You've seen Zoe, too! Wow- I ain't seen her around. I'd sure like to.

[doctoroutlaw]

I did. She wrote here. The tag was small but I replied and she responded to me. It was glad.

I just wish I could find River.

Seems like the people who really matter are never the ones who show up...

[ruttin]

Mine ain't all pretty either.

[doctoroutlaw]

Well, yours wouldn't be.

[ruttin]

Prettier than you. [Said gruffly.] Least I don't look sly.

[doctoroutlaw]

Whatever... Look, what are you doing here? Is everyone here?

[danieljackson]

...hello.

You're new here, I take it?

[adjusting his glasses]

[doctoroutlaw]

Why yes, I am.

It's nice to meet you.

Ah... and you are?

[danieljackson]

[trying to make up for his awkward hello by reaching to offer a handshake]

Sorry, Daniel...I'm Daniel Jackson.

[doctoroutlaw]

[Simon takes his hand and shakes it, almost on reflex. It's an automatic response to the gesture.]

It's nice to meet you Mr. Jackson. Uh, what brings you here?
