How about another meme?

It's Monday night, why not?

Fun for awkwardness and/or kinkiness....

Here post somebody in, and the person who tags them? Congratulations, you're now handcuffed together. No keyholes and there's power dampeners to prevent those of you with magic/super strength to break them easily. How they come off? That's up to you, and your new partner to figure out!

Have fun!

[He doesn't mind so much when he's being laughed at when it's Kaylee - even if he pretends otherwise - and there's a little bit of surprise when it doesn't happen.]

Why would ye say that? I think you're good at figuring things out. [Better than Jamie, sometimes.]

Aye, well, if it's simple... Open up, cuffs. [And...nothing.]

[ Now she does laugh. ] Good at figurin' things out when it comes to engines, sure. Still got plenty else I ain't so good at figurin', men and puzzles among 'em.

[ Of course they wouldn't open just like that. Too easy. Kaylee stares at the cuffs a moment, then tries jumping.

Still nothing. ]

Och. [Despite that, Jamie is privately pleased that he got a laugh out of her - it does help when they're stuck together, after all. Still doesn't solve the situation, though. What to try next?]

Hmmm.

[For a second, it seems almost as if there's the tiniest hint of response from the cuffs. Maybe he's imagining things, though.]

Hey, did ye feel that?

[ Kaylee definitely felt that. She starts looking over Jamie, trying to figure out exactly what he did and how he's standing. It doesn't help that she starts trying to mimic his exact stance. ]

Alright, I give up, what'd you do...

[Jamie's mouth twitches for a moment as he watches, trying to keep a straight face. Luckily, his hand was already on his chin, so that's easy enough to do.]

I didn't do anything, other than bring my hand up.

[He drops it, then brings it up again.]

Hmm, no, that's not it...

[And there's that response from the cuffs again.]

[ And again, she tries mimicking the motions, and still nothing. Have a very flat look, Jamie. ]

Alright, Mr. McCrimmon, what're you doin' that I'm not.

[He gives her a somewhat helpless look in return.]

I don't know! You're doing what I'm doing.

[Just to prove the point, he mimics the same motions he did before, and the cuffs are still.]

Och, it can't be that. Maybe it was something I said?

Alright, point made.

[ She frowns at the cuffs now. ]

You didn't say anythin' the same the second time, did ya?

[ No use in getting frustrated, right? None at all. Nope, none. And that's totally not a frustrated hum that came from Kaylee. And those cuffs definitely didn't shake. ]

...think they're just screwin' with us?

[He's not frowning - he's too busy scratching the side of his head trying to think.]

No, I...

[Suddenly, his attention snaps to the cuffs.]

Do that again.

Do what? [ She hum agains, slightly less frustrated this time, and the cuffs give a little shudder. ]

That simple, huh?

Aye, maybe. [He tries to hum again after she's done, but while there's that wee bit of a shudder, the cuffs still don't open.]

Maybe not. It did move, though. [Think, Jamie, think.]

Hey, I have an idea! If we both try to hum together, maybe that'll work...

[uncertainly] What do ye think?

Worth a shot, I'd say.

[ If you can get her to stop giggling, that is. ] Bit silly they want a duet, don't you think?

[ Right, deep breath and countdown... ] Three, two, one. [ HUM!! ]

Aye, well...

[Whatever it was he was going to say is cut short as the countdown starts. He starts to hum as well, although it takes a second for him to sync with her. Once he does, though, the cuffs quickly snap open.

Jamie pulls his wrist out, grabbing the chain just below the cuff with his other hand to steady it.]

Kaylee, are ye out?

[ Kaylee proudly holds up her free wrist. ]

Sure looks that way. Just in time, too. I was startin' to wonder if I'd have to stay attached to ya all day. [ Teasing, of course. ]

Think you get credit for figurin' that one out, Mr. McCrimmon.

[dryly] Oh, aye. A fate worse than death.

[Abruptly shifting his grip on the chain, he flings the cuffs away from them before they get any ideas about snapping shut again. He does it in such a way that when they do, they'll lock in on each other and become nothing more than a useless knot of metal. Jamie looks at them in satisfaction.]

There. That should do it. Sorry, what did ye say about credit?

For you, maybe. Might cramp your style a bit, bein' stuck next to the grease monkey forever. [ And teasing complete.

It's a very impressive throw, and Kaylee nods in approval. ]

Double credit to you, then.

Well, it might have been a wee bit difficult to play the pipes, but...[Oh, wait. Not serious.] Heeey.

[Cue the requisite 'hrmph', but as usual, he's not really bothered.]

Better that then to have them lock around our ankles or something. Now that would be a wee bit inconvenient, wouldn't ye say?

Not necessarily. You'd just have to teach me how to play part. Don't think that'd be anywhere near as easy as it is to teach you 'bout engines, though. [ No, seriously. She's never thought about being a musician, and now's probably not the time to start. ]

Well, I dunno about that. We'd've been Three-Legged Race experts in no time, I'd bet.

Aye, well, it does take a wee bit of skill in order to play properly. I'm not sure a girl would be up to the challenge. [Hey, if she can tease, he can tease. And he thinks about doing that with the Three-Legged Race comment, but decides that might be a bit much.]

You're probably right about the racing, though.

[ She raises an eyebrow at that. ] Oh no? Bet I could do it as well as any of the men on the ship.

[He wants to smile, but that would clue Kaylee in that he's not being serious. Instead, he gives her a very bland look - trying to make it seem like he doesn't believe what she's saying. He's overdoing it a bit, though. She might be able to catch on.] Oh, aye? I don't know, Kaylee...

[ Nope, she's riled. Not gonna notice for a bit, more than likely. She may or may not look somewhat offended. ] Couldn't be any harder than teachin' Jayne about engines, I wouldn't think.

Aye, well... [He might as well let her off the hook, he thinks. That crooked grin of his makes an appearance.]

I'd say ye have enough stubbornness that you'd be able to make do.

Edited 2010-09-24 08:32 (UTC)

Stubbornness? I ain't stubborn, 'M--

[ Oh he's grinning. Of course he is. Kaylee pauses, then gives him a playful punch in the shoulder. ] No more stubborn than you...

Hey! [Jamie rubs at his shoulder, although it doesn't hurt a bit, still looking rather amused.]

Are ye saying I'm stubborn, then?

How about another meme?

How about humming together in unison, or is that too odd?

Nope, that works for me :D

Hooray! \o/
