a ha - thanks Consuela. So if I read Downbelow Station first, then Merchanter's Luck I might have some more background on what's going on.

This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

There's a whole Pirate/Ninja/Dwarf/Elf Ontology...If the bastard spawn of an elf and a dwarf is a dwelf, than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
arby, conversely, Merchanter's Luck is terse and relatively short. If you like dense and plotty, go Downbelow Station first. But if you're not sure you're going to like the 'verse, Luck might be a good appetiser.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?
There would come a time in the child's life when he or she would have to choose one way, and either follow the pirate path, or that of the ninja. Much like how Spock had to choose the human or the Vulcan way as a child.

cutlass or the katana?
Cutana? Katlass? If they can mix animals, why not weapons?

Both of which sound like pirate-ninja girl names.

Yeah. I kind of like them. Katlass almost seem Scottish. Scottish-pirate-ninja.
