Who: River Tam & You!
When: Throughout the month
Where: The lounge, kipos, observation deck
What: Free ice cream, tree climbing, general River tier oddness
Warnings: None atm

[ A – The Lounge ]

[ With the new captains deciding that luxuries like dessert and other little treats aren't necessary, River finally knew what to do with the refrigeration crate filled with Ice Planets. So one quiet afternoon she takes it into the Lounge to share the wealth with the other members of the crew. Things always taste better when they're shared and shared alike with people.

So when one walks into the lounge they'll find River sitting in a chair, either normally with a book in her lap, or sometimes sitting so her legs are pointed at the ceiling and her head is hanging over the edge of the seat with her hair dangling toward the ground. On the ground beside her is the crate with a hand drawn sign propped up by a plastic dinosaur. ]


Free Ice Planet Cream – Slightly Problematic


[ So long as you're willing to try eating ice cream that's dangling on a string you've got some available to try. ]


[ B – Kipos; Tree Climbing ]

[ Sometimes, you just have a climb a tree. River leaves her shoes at the base of the great tree in the garden and climbs up into its branches with bare feet and sure hands to pull her up into the green. She has enough strips of colorful paper in her pockets to keep her busy for a while and she quickly has a lap full of origami stars that she makes while she enjoys the quiet. But since nothing lasts forever, whenever someone wanders underneath her she decides to have a little fun.

Whomever is walking underneath her might not notice the first star dropped, but River will keep going until they either have little paper stars stuck in their hair or they finally look up at her. Then she grins and waves, the image of mischief. ]


It's very nice up here.


[ C – Kipos; The Altar ]

[ She visits the altar on the lower level of Kipos every few weeks. She does the same routine each time and lights three candles. One for Wash. One for the Shepherd. And one for all the people lost because of the secrets in her head. It isn't much, but she can do this to prove she won't forget. Her mind belongs to her now and she won't let anything go without a fight.

But this time she also lights a fourth one. Not for people lost, but the ones she misses. A small promise that she'll see them again someday. ]


I know you can't hear me, but I'm okay. I've got family to look out for. You'll like them.


[ D – Observation Deck; Late]

[ When she can't sleep, River usually sneaks away from the room she shares with Wanda so she doesn't wake her foster-sister up. This particular evening River makes her way up to the observation deck with a colorful blanket wrapped around her shoulders. Her bare feet make hardly any sound on the floor of the deck as she looks up at the endless black surrounding them. She settles down onto the floor with a notebook in her lap and a pencil and starts to draw out small patterns on each page that she connects with loose lines.

She doesn't look away from her sketchbook when someone approaches, but she speaks anyways. ]


The stars are different here, can't even find familiar constellations. I'm making new ones.

[ a list of names that don’t mean anything to him, but he can tell the weight of them in her voice, the familiarity there. ]

Lot of people to miss. [ maybe it isn’t. It seems like a lot to him, when he has about… two. ]

Friends you made here, or people from home?
