Suggested topic: What does your character's name mean, either in their canon or in current culture? Does that have any significance on their personality?
Mal: There's the in-canon response from River: "Mal. Bad. In Latin", hence the lj name. I like it a lot because it is vague enough to mess with your head if you think about it too long. Also I am informed that from Star Trek: Enterprise canon, 'Malcolm' is Vulcan for 'serenity'. Which works for me. :D :D :D Also, his middle name is Beauregard, because in like, August of 05, I decided making a Bad-and-Beautiful pun would be funny. Plus it's his father's name, so he doesn't shout it around.
SARAH: Her full designation is 'Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat'.
Sallie: As of babynames.com, (who did not appreciate the IE spelling =P) Sallie is a diminuative of Sarah, which derives from the Hebrew for princess. This...does not apply to Sallie pretty much in any way.
Ned: Again, another diminuitive. I'm beginning to get amused by this. This is also vaguely significant because Ned, unless you know him already, is almost a non-entity to others. Hence no last name, short first name. No exceptions.
Delysia Lafosse: Didn't even show up. Her real name is Sara Grubb, which Haaa play more or less three Saras, but whatever. Names are very important to D, since she went through the bother of picking a stage name. Just don't tell her that 'fosse' means a pit (as in peach pit).

Re: *hijacks thread to OT OOC communication*
Okay, darling. Is a post set up on Tom's journal? How do you want to start this? Is Kendra right there listening to Tom, or do you want Kendra to react to Tom before he opens the door, e.g., Tom posts in his OP "THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO OPEN OMG HERE'S THE DEAL" and Kendra says "OMG, the door is about to open, I'm totally ready!" and then Tom opens the door and they start their, ah, mission? Or will other characters be reacting to each other before the door is technically opened with "well, see you on the flip side IF YOUR ASS DOESN'T GET TRASHED"? Something like that? I'm up for anything, just let me know what you want.
God, I hope that wasn't confusing. *has had WAY too much caffeine*

--actually tell you what. Is there an email I can reach you at so we don't spam poor Steph's inbox?
