In search of old friends (3rd floor corridor, early Sunday morning)

Meeting all the new people and just getting used to the place had been distracting her from an important question: Why was Kaylee here? And even stranger: Why was Zoe working here? Especially the latter didn't make any sense at all to River. She was used to weird things and could take in complex situations, but this was confusing. If Simon had been here she could have kicked and screamed, but he wasn't, and that was one of the points of being here.

Talk to Kaylee first.

River sneaked down to the third floor and knocked on Kaylee's door.

That cheered her up. "I chose Applied Dadaism too! And Image and How to be an entertainer. Things I know very little about." The whole point of going here was the opportunity to do things she hadn't done before. Perhaps even be someone else?

"Dadaism sounds like fun," Kaylee said. "And I like Arts and Crafts. Don't know much about Astronomy, but it deals with space. And space reminds me of Serenity."

"I miss Serenity," River admitted, knowing that Kaylee must feel that even stronger. "I miss Simon too. But it's good to have you here." She felt that strongly now.

"Hope they can keep her runnin' without me," Kaylee said seriously. She thought about what River said about Simon. Kaylee sure did miss him, too. "I'm glad you're here too. Makes it feel a little like home, you know?"

[Going afk for about an hour. :)]

River nodded. "I know."

Kaylee responded with another smile.

[Night!]
