Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I'm happy to say the writer's block is gone on FoF! Wrote a few more scenes today. Have also started planning my Firefly/HL crossover, but I've come across a bit of a dead end. I need a brainstorming about the blue gloves and what they're for, but the person to do that with is off touring New Zealand (lucky bastard...), so it'll have to wait. Unless someone else has given a thought to the blue gloves and come up with possible scientific explanations and would like to discuss them? That would be swell. Yes, people, that's a call for help.

Watched most of the QaF commentaries by now - can you believe they commented the *whole* show? Unbelievable. And quite interesting, too. Bonuses are good. So sweet to find out how soft-spoken and shy Aidan is in real life. Whereas Craig is nowhere near as shy as Vince.

As for Firefly, watched The Message and Heart of Gold today. I think they did a magnificent job on Tracey. That episode was so good. "When you can't run anymore, you crawl. And when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you." Inara breaks my heart in Heart of Gold, each time. (Well, okay, the two times I've watched it.) And they use the word sly for gay, don't they? I was like, hmm. Good to know. (Yes, guess whose favourite former Navy man will appear in that Ffl/HL xover.) Anyway. Great show. Can't wait to see the movie - Joss, man, don't screw this up. ... Pretty please?

And don't forget, people - Jayne is a girl's name.

Hmm. I'll see if it strikes the muses, but they rather fail to stir right now. *nudges them a bit* Sweeties, wake up?

Damn. I don't think it would suit the plot. It's a good idea, though. I'll give it more thought. Thanks!

Anyway, if that doesn't suit your plots, you don't have to link the blue gloves thing to the genetic engineering. But you can keep that last part anyway, because it would be a good way to explain why they aren't affected by their killing device.

And.... Do you really need to explain the aim of the blue gloves?
Considering that there'll finally be a Firelfy movie (yeah!!!!), what if they explain them in it and that it's totally different from your explanation?

This is going to be a complete AU from the movie anyway. I can't do otherwise. I *could* wait for the movie - just as I could have waited for PotC2 before launching myself into FoF - but I don't think my muses will leave me semi-sane this long. Trust me, you do *not* want a Jayne!muse to be mad at you. Or a River!muse for that matter. I'd rather not find out what happens when those two team up. *shudder*

As for the genetic engineering, yes, it would. But I was sorta hoping the guys could find a way to be immune too. Which would then be pretty impossible. It's not so much the blue gloves that I want a theory on that fits me, as the Blue Gloves as in the men in the blue gloves.

I don't mind any Jayne!muse. I was able to deal with a Cas!muse, I can definitely deal with a Jayne one. :-P

As for getting immune to the killing device.... Well, there's probably some more mechanical ways (which ones depend on how it works, I can't remember about it), but those would protect everyone around, not just the Serenity crew.
Besides, if they are genetically modified to be immune to it.... I guess their creators -and bosses- would want to have a way to protect themselves from it too, so the anti-killing-device-device (::g::) maybe already exist somewhere. ;-)

Hey, that's a good point. I "tamed" Kronos, and I can't deal with Jayne? Of course I can deal with Jayne! Now, I'm still rather afraid of River. She's the tricky one.

Anti-anti-love-spell-spell spell. Gotcha. ;)
