twentieth snare

[fanstheflame]

[the journal gets knocked open in the middle of a lot of scrambling and giggles] ... Hana, you're missing a shoe. When did you - never mind. I'll go get it. You stay here with Mom, okay?

[and then Gale the wild shoe hunter went off in search of his quarry. what he finds in addition to one (1) missing sandal, however, is pretty interesting. he skims it long enough to know that maybe skimming it was a bad idea, then tucks it under his arm and returns to girlfriend, small child, and journal to put up a filter]

[Filtered to Friends of South]

Hey, I ... I found something that belongs to South. Any of you know where she's at today, or feel like bringing it to her? I'm - kind of busy, or I'd bring it to her - OOF. - myself. ... Now if you'll excuse me, apparently I'm not done being a horse.

[Mal appears in the castle lobby. He stumbles slightly, looking around. He's more than a bit irritated.]

Zoe! What the good gorram is this? [He makes a disgusted sound at the journal.]

Y'all want to be explainin' to me what the hell is goin' on here? Where's my ship? Where's my crew, come to that? Wouldn't mind knowing where the ruttin hell I am in the meantime as well. I'm lost, I'm angry, I'm armed, and I expect an explanation right about now.

[A pause as he realizes his coat and gun are nowhere to be found.]

Now that's just about two steps too far. You take a man's coat and gun, least you can do is introduce yourself to my face, make it a fair fight.

[ooc: Feel free to freak Mal out through the journal, or if you're feeling brave, approach him in the lobby.]
