it's not like they need her to survive any more, why would they welcome her?
Because her crew would increase the gene pool? *snerk* Anyway, yes, I agree that they might not want to go back, particularly if their lives were somewhat stable on the ground. Perhaps on the edge, and hard work, but stable. It's also possible that they all went a little crazy. And (this is shocking) crazy people don't think like normal folk. They have all kinds of wacky priorities.
I can see them being all isolation-crazy. But also stable. Just the little oxymorons, really. I like the ambiguity in your fic about this.
Also, I agree with you that for River, routine and fresh air might work to minimize her wacky days. At the very least she would have fewer people around her, and so would be less influenced by all their myriad thoughts.
And liek, if they were there long enough and simon was getting enough to satisfy his, er, carnal needs, i'm sure an older, boreder, stabler River would be getting to a point were she was sick of not having anything that weren't run on hydro-power twixt her nethers. And then my brain descends into weirdass the blue lagoon-esque places until I have to go
ARGH!! MY EYES! and OW! My BRAIN!
and hee! run on hydro-power!
Like I said, I enjoyed the Kaylee POV. It left so much open to interpretation, and I like it when things aren't all wrapped up tidily. It could be fun to try writing other snippets of this world from other POVs, just looking at bits and pieces of the rest of it that you've thought about. Not that I'm, you know, asking. Not at all.
i am obviously also quite LAME.
Why? Does your foot hurt? Oh god. Just hit me. Because I clearly need to be put out of my misery here.
