Is a non-working vacation too much to ask for? I mean, come on. One day off. After what happened last week I deserve that.

[A dark-haired teenage boy is scowling unhappily into the camera. He sighs heavily and drags a hand through his hair. Somehow it always ended up like this.]

Okay, so let me just get this straight.The giant turtle is actually a thing? Someone isn't just pulling a really elaborate joke on me?

[He sighs.]

Yeah, never mind. Don't even bother answering that. I think I already know the answer.

Could this possibly get any weirder? [He freezes and moans miserably.] ...Oh, great. I think I just jinxed myself.

[Danny blanks for a moment. Because last week he'd been trying to save his clone/self-appointed cousin from being melted down into ectoplasm with the help of his ghost-hunting ex-girlfriend who didn't actually know that the ghost she wanted to destroy and the kid she used to date were the same person.

...Telling the truth wasn't really an option.]

Uh, it was just a bad week in general. You know, failed a test. Got shoved into my locker by the school bully. Mom decided to go into another experimental cooking phase.

[ It doesn't sound that bad to River, but her experiences are more than a little skewed. ]

Your mother cooks?

[schrodingersghost]

She experiments with food. [And that was definitely the right word. ]

Cookies are safe. The rest? When I was a kid, Thanksgiving dinner usually tried to eat us. And don't get me started on the frankenfurters.

[ River's experienced her own amount of food experimentation aboard Serenity, as the crew sometimes makes do with whatever's left between paying jobs. ]

Clearly the dinner didn't win...

My sister beat it up with a broom handle.

Was she very good at it? What did you use?

[schrodingersghost]

....I was five. I hid under the table.

Did she come and find you?

[schrodingersghost]

Uh, it was all the same room? It really didn't take a lot of finding.

But did she come and find you?

[ This is clearly important to her. ]

I guess? It was a long time ago, so I don't remember everything. But Jazz was all weird and overprotective back then, so probably.

Then she's a good sister. The good ones always come for you when you need help.

Re: video;

[schrodingersghost]

I guess she is then.

...But don't tell her I said that if she ever ends up here.

I can keep a secret.
