Here, it's her. [completed]
Character(s): River, Oogie and Larsa~
Content: River enters Paixao and meets Oogie. Larsa comes along and tries to help her flee from him~
Setting: Vanaheim gate
Time: Noon
Warnings:PsychobabbleNone yet.
River feels peaceful when she is asleep. She can still hear the many whispering and yelling voices in her head but they are a little farther away then when she is awake. The voices barely wash over her as she dreams her dreams and the dreams of the others in Serenity. River can see Kaylee through Simon's eyes; beautiful and fragile. If she, he reaches out his hand to touch her, she would run away like a butterfly. Inara dreams of one particular client of hers. She is fond of him, he called her his little butterfly but Inara knows that she is not his. She is her own. His own room. Jayne betrayed his co-workers to have a room of his own, but it is a fair exchange. He has a better pay too and it's not just for himself, it's for his mama too. Mal doesn't remember his mother but--
She wakes up. The dreams fade away from her sight and she blinks her eyes several time to adjust her eyes to the sudden light. Serenity was never so bright. Placing an arm over her eyes, River rolls to her side before fumbling with her hands to get up. She is on the ground, not in her room. Simon would be worried. Once her eyes can see better in the brightness, River looks around herself with sleepy eyes. She can't hear Simon, or Kaylee, or Mal. River can't hear anyone. Then, such beautiful gates, where does it lead to-- where am I? I wasn't here befo--Damn it, my head hurts like he--What should I do? What sho--
River pushes herself off the ground and runs quickly to where the people should be. She heard more than one person so there might be a town, a civilization. Maybe Simon is there, looking for her. Simon gave up everything for her. Everything he had. Here. Not there with him. Here, it's her. Simon worried. She slows down to a walk when she sees a line of people waiting to enter the tall gates. A city, even bigger than a town. She guessed right.
Her feet are sore from running around barefoot but Simon will give her shoes to wear when she finds him. All River needs to do is find Simon and go home, back to Serenity. Daddy will come pick them up, then everything will be alright. She will get better. Simon will be happy. Not worried, happy.
"Name?" the man standing behind the counter asks. River turns to him slowly, blinking once, twice before responding. Just gotta get a few more minutes and my shift is done, what the hell do they need the names for anyway? The man doesn't seem to have any connection to the Alliance, but she must still be cautious or they will take her back.
River smiles sweetly, almost sanely, "Simone River." There, she is safe. Simon will make a name too. Be safe. Have two names. The man scribbles down her name and offers her a blue square object without looking up. River watches him without taking it.
"'s a journal," he mutters, shoving it into her hands. "Write your feelings, secrets, whatever into it. Use it," he explains while ushering her away with his hands. "Welcome to Paixao," he adds as an afterthought. Attention now directed to the journal in her hand, River flips it open while walking away from the gate slowly. Paixao, she has never heard of it but maybe the journal has a map of the system with Paixao in it.
First she finds Simon, or let him find her. Then out, keep flying, away from the blue hands, mustn't get caught.

It looked like a gate.
Oogie Boogie inspected the tree design from afar and laughed. They called that a good design? Puh. He could do so much better than that. It needed neon, he decided. Lots and lots of neon. And skeletons. And bats. And dice. And more neon.
But why was he wasting his considerable talent there? After all, you couldn’t gamble at a gate.
Well, he conceded, maybe you could. But there would be no jazz to it, and what’s the point of doing something if it’s got no jazz?
He grinned and turned his attention to the people in line, wondering how many of them he could dupe before he got caught.
Ah, who was he kidding? He was Oogie Boogie, Gambling Boogieman Extraordinaire. He never got caught.
Where he was, how he got there, how he was going to get back to Halloweentown…none of it particularly concerned him. He’d figure out all that boring stuff later, once he’d established the more important facts.
Like where the nearest casino was, for example.
There obviously wasn’t going to be anything out in this grassy waste of space, that was for sure. Abruptly making up his mind, he strode as quickly and proudly as his little legs would take him towards the gate with the decidedly lame design, cutting in front of the first person in line and shrugging off the multitude of dirty looks he received in return. He was Oogie Boogie, after all. These people should be grateful cutting in front was all he did to them.
“Name, sir?” said the decidedly uninteresting man at the gate, who either didn’t notice the minor disturbance or didn’t care.
Oogie decided to make the most of it. “I’m Mister Oogie Boogie,” he replied with his biggest, nastiest grin (the one involving several particularly hairy spiders of which he was quite fond) and leaned in to leer at the man. “And don’t you forget it.”
“Yes, sir,” said the gatekeeper automatically, taking the name down and gesturing towards a booth within the gate. “Now if you’ll kindly go there, you’ll receive your journal.”
Oogie simply stared at the man. This was the first time his biggest, nastiest grin had failed to get any kind of reaction. Was this guy even looking? Heck, was he even alive? All that yellow hair sure didn’t look real to him.
“Well.” He stepped back and gathered his thoughts. “Well fine then.” He straightened up as best he could and marched over to the other booth, taking his little black box and pamphlet and entering the city – his new Bug Day Town, if he had anything to say about it – with all the confidence in the world.

Closing the journal, River draws her knees closer to her and places the journal to her chest protectively. Maybe she can find Simon through the network, or Kaylee. Suddenly, new Bug Day Town, if he had anything to say about it-- River stands up abruptly, stumbling a little when she remembers the blisters on her feet.
