Turtle & Canary - Friday

Jane couldn't talk Apu out of the storage room.

He'd locked himself in there with his elephant god statue.

Not that it was going stop her from doing what she was planning on doing.

It would be helpful if he'd come out though.

Today's Squishy Flavors:
Red, Bitter-Sweet Chocolate, The Blood of Your Enimies

Turtle & Canary is open.

River had got a message (http://moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com/264.html?thread=447240) from Jane, and made her way to the store after lunch. She stuck her head through the door. "Jane? Is everything okay?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I suppose that depends on your definition of the phrase."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" River said, looking worried, searching Jane's mind.

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane's wondering how she's going to tell River that she's going back to Deadwood.

"I've come to a conclusion, you see..."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane didn't have to explain, as thinking was enough. River threw her arms around her. "Oh, nooo!"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane hugged her back.

"Can't keep anything from you can I River girl?"

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes." Of course she could. River tried to think of something. "A drawing? Could give you one of those knives we got from Miranda? My favourite pen?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't want to take anything back that'll fuck up the fucking... time... thing." Jane said uncertainly. "But I thought you'd like this."

She was wearing two gun belts, the Army Colt that Doctor gave her and the Navy Colt that came with her.

She used the Navy Colt because Bill always said they were the best.

She took off the belt with the Navy Colt and offered it to River.

River blinked, feeling close to tears. "Thank you," she said. "It's beautiful." She picked up the gun and examined it carefully. "I can shoot it at the gun club. And when I go back to Serenity."

She really wanted to give Jane something special to take with her. Pulling out her drawing pad she flipped through it, then handed it to Jane. "Keep this?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane took the picture and looked at it.

"It looks just like ya."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
River managed a smile. "Like it, then?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes." Jane nodded folding it up and putting in a pocket inside her coat. "I'll keep it with me always."

She pat the coat over where she'd stashed the picture.

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
River gently weighed the gun in her hand. "And I'll look after this."

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fuck you better, cost me five whole dollars." Jane nodded. "And if you see that Door girl, you tell her I said not to take any shit from any cocksucker says she ain't good at shootin."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
River didn't know Door, but she nodded. She could certainly deliver a message like that.

"And don't you take any shit from any cocksucker back in Deadwood. For any reason."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
River smiled back. "Will miss you."

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll miss you too River girl."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
River gave Jane another big hug. "Don't catch smallpox," she said.

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah don't worry, I'm immune to that."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-04-13 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Turtle wasn't quite sure what to make of Jane's message, but she hurried over to the store as soon as she could, trying not too feel too worried. Had the place blown up? Did someone slice the SquishyBot? The ideas kept getting worse in her head the closer she got.

"Jane! What's up?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane looked a little uncomfortable.

"I'm giving you first dibs on buying me out."

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm... Sorta, going home you see."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Turtle blinked. "Oh." And then she frowned. "You gonna still be a distant partner, then?" Turtle decided to sort of pass over that whole 'buy me out' thing for the moment. Distant partner could work; Turtle did all the really technical stuff herself as it was, and didn't mind at all, either, for that matter.

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'll be distant by fucking 120 some odd years but... Maybe you could send my earnings to my decedents or if I end up not having any, I'm sure my brothers and sisters will."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Turtle smiled a little at that, and nodded. "Sure. Could definately do something like that, definitely."

But the smile faded quickly. "You're really leaving, huh?"

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Jane nodded.

"Yeah. I think I got things to do yet, and I should do 'em before I get to old."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Which made Turtle smirk. "Yeah, guess you do gotta get on that. You're almost ancient."

She actually half meant it, because, really, Turtle planned on being a billionaire by the time she was Jane's age.

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people were dead by Jane's age where she was from. And going by the life expectancy of those that weren't, she was middle aged at 23.

"See? I knew you'd understand."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Turtle gave a nod. "Definitely. Can't stay in one place too long or else you'll lose your momentum." There was another pause. "I'll kinda miss ya, though...."

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll miss you too Turtle, you got spirit."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Gotta have it if you wanna get anywhere," Turtle said proudly. "Good luck, Jane. ...Thanks."

[identity profile] courtincalamity.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ain't it the fucking truth?" Jane smiled "Thanks Turtle, you too."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2007-04-14 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Turtle nodded, and stood there quietly for a moment before giving Jane a hug. In a way that she'd totally deny that she did it afterward, because they were businesswomen, dammit. But, businesswoman or not, Turtle was still just a young girl who needed hugs at times like this, no matter how much she denied it.

Same goes for Army Scouts.
