Serenity RPG

*In between sessions*

After a *few* pints with the captain you decide to call it a day and put the ship into standby.

*Sometime in the night*
You are woken to horrific screaming coming from the direction of Amanda's quarters, you glance at your clock and see that it is 2:30 AM, you wait a few minutes, wondering if your hearing Bills screams....after a few minutes of screaming you realize it is definitely coming from Amanda's quaters...no one else sounds like theyre doing anything...

*Roleplay now*

"Shoot first," Bill says. "Ask questions later."
I yawn, as I lock and load my sonic rifle. Someone's getting tossed out the airlock.

The sreaming from amanda's room continues but neither dave nor the captain seem to be stirred by it at all

then suddenly the screaming stops and turns to sobbing

"Are ye - okay - Miss Amanda?"

"im fine, sorry if i woke you"

"You - don't seem too fine. Ye were screamin' like a ruttin' banshee." Then, trying to get her to speak, I add,"Hope it's nothin' I caused."

"no its not your fault, happens randomly at times, very bad dreams..."

"Sorry to hear that." Then, to my sonic rifle, I say, "Guess you can go back to resting, Bill."

"Yea, sorry, hope you learn to sleep through my screams, I feel bad for waking you up"

"Er, uh, I don't mean to be nosy, Miss, but, uh, could you tell me what you were dreamin' 'bout?"

hmmm can i trust you....hmmmm.....related to my father...
(make a social roll if u want to try and earn trust(willpower + influence (general) D8 + D6 - 2 for amanda's twitchy

7+3-2=8.(Are we friends now? )

"I think I can trust you" smiles at you
"I was dreaming about my father been shot by the captain...I honestly dont know whether it is a dream or a memory though"

"Do you have any memories about what happened to your father?"

"I have what I think are memories, but they are very twisted with these dreams I keep having, I know we were about to leave the crew and buy our own ship, but no one else knew....but I dont honestly think the captain wouldve done anything they were too close, yet all my "memories" imply him and some others"

"Well, between you and Bill, if you need anything done, let him know," I say, and though it's a major risk, I leave Bill to keep her company.

"Thankyou"

I return to my quarters, and fall asleep, holding Beatrice in hands folded across my chest. She'll protect me.

A few hours pass and the captain sets off the morning alarms to get everybody up

I of course was already up and in the cockpit piloting toward our destination. (Rolled an 18! YAY!!!)

(Yay!) We make excelent progress and should reach our destination by tonight!

The Captain comes in, "hows things going Xi?"

"So, you, uh, wanna tell me what happened between you and the old pilot - before I crash your ship into an asteroid!" Rolled a 10 (intimidate), and am willing to spend a plot point to make sure the intimidation works this time.

Woah no need to get angry there, I'll tell you whaat happened but im assuming you've been talking to Amanda?

Nah, but Bill and Beatrice were feeling awfully suspicious, seeing as there's a ship with no pilot, and I can only imagine you're lost behind the wheel, or you'd just have gotten off world, so I figured I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. (Since I haven't told Captain Serious over there who Bill or Beatrice is, that's bound to send up a few questions.)
