So...

...i'm trying to clear my head and start from scratch about Nandi and see if the story i have in mind is right for her. Sometimes they don't fit the characters i hope they will - or that inspire them in the first place... Inara's done that to me - and Book - and River too.

So... my primary question is about time;
How much time between the Guild and the palais de tin foil in Heart of Gold.

I'm interested in where the girls came from - were they on the planet already - or did they come with Nandi? (yeah yeah, that's the ears on my plot bunny sticking up)...

The Dulcimer story;
I don't buy it, too neat and too funny, so what incident(s) caused Nandi to detach from the life of a Companion?

And lastly of course Nandi herself.
Who is she, what is her character and when did it chrystalize into the Nandi of HOG (Oh and there's the bunny's whiskers!)?

So - a lot of questions... I'd like to thrash em out on someone's lj age but shoot, everyone's disappeared!

Advice would be shiny!

Discussion would be the thing that comes after shiny!!:)

i'm wondering whether the original girls were a 'reward shipment' (ick!) to the foil planet - depending on how close in time to the war it all is...
and maybe, maybe... maybe Nandi was working as a Companion then - and jumped ship.???

feasible???

she had to do something bad enough to get the shunning treatment from the Guild. Far bigger than breaking a dulcimer. she may have been on one of those fancy luxury liners that Mal refers to in the OoG.

Love the idea of "reward shipment"!

absolutely! - what if that 'reward shipment' was stowed in freight on the luxury liner and Nandi (working in the exclusive section) found out and that's what done it.

And maybe Petaline was crew???

she could be! Nandi and Petaline in cahoots! Petaline needs to be made more interesting.

Well petaline could be expanded for sure - oh you're making my mind mooooove!:)

and i need to have another look at Nandi's belongings in HOG, see what stuff she's got from before (if anything)...

Her clothes! Too fine to be found in that pisspot of a town. Her guns? Or did they used to belong to the prior proprietor?

Yeah the guns are intriguing... a souvenir of... what? who?? They always remind me of the fella in Shindig who stand with Inara when the duel goes down.

Talking tears - Inara's...
Did Inara give Nandi the guns - was she aiming Nandi at Mal?
Were the 'awkward' dialogs between them staged like with Zoe in Trash? Did Mal get Nandi pregnant??

ACK!!!!! ACK!!!!!!

Nandi impregnated by Mal? them fightin' words there!

But Simon could dig her up and save the embryo and put in in that cryo thing they probably still have lying around. He can speed the process of birth and life and the baby could grow up to be...
