How to be a Hired Gun, Monday - Period Three

Today Jayne had sent a wave to have all the students meet out in front of MHA and to dress for hard labor. Clearly Jayne did not care if you were traumatized by having no memory this weekend.

When the students arrived they would find Jayne standing in front of the apartment complex with a bunch of his belongings sitting out front.

"Part of being a mercenary is that you have cargo that has to be transported," Jayne explained as he lit up a cigar. "So today we are going to transport stuff."

He waved at his possessions. "So get transporting this stuff up to apartment #4"

Jayne was so getting another note from the school office.

Like you just realized you're moving furniture for a grade

Where you may complain but Jayne won't care.

Sorry kids. He's already secured all his weapons but you can steal his clothes and booze as payment for services rendered. Or yell at Jayne again.

Jayne still hasn't learned her name. "Weird Girl" will have to do.

Who is smoking and drinking from a flask.

Classy.

So sleeeeepy

Edward Kenway

Mara Jade

"Are you kidding me."

Mara'd woken up in bed with her (admittedly hot but still her ROOMMATE roommate). This was not improving her mood.

Garik Loran

"Shì yǒuyòng de, yǐjí guānshǎng.¹" Jayne said tossing one of his duffel bags at Mara's feet. "Time to go to work."

------------------------
¹Be useful as well as ornamental.

"You know, pirates are known for stealing cargo while it's being transported," Face said, while glaring at Jayne. "It's why they're pirates instead of extremely ill-mannered pilots."

Sparkle

Yeah, that booze? Was so getting pocketed.

This was, after all, the hired gun class, and Sparkle wasn't doing shit for free.

Really? Jayne would have no idea how that works.

He had not taken into account his students would do that to him. Jayne thought his simple authority would make them fall in line.

Oh, Jayne.

"Which is why I've taken careful record of what you guǐ tóu hé yōulíng de dànǎo² are carrying up to my apartment," Jayne lied. "So don't try anything. Dong mah?

-----------------
² ghost heads and ghost brains. Which essentially is a conniving group of people.

Raven Darkholme

Raven rolled her eyes and went to pick up a box -- she figured it wasn't worth it trying to argue with this "teacher", since he clearly didn't have the brain power for it -- when she spotted something bright, cheerful, and orange. She picked it up by the puffball on top and held it out at arm's length.

"Huh."

"I'm sure you won't even notice a single thing gone," Face said, completely innocently and not at all like he happened to come from a people who were really good at picking up on lies. "It'll be like you hired a bunch of Jawas to move your stuff."

Jayne had no idea what a jawa was. Unfortunately for Face he took it as an insult.

"And if I do notice something gone, I know just who I need to blame now don't I?" Jayne snarled menacingly. "I don't think you want to have detention with me now do you?"

Mara might not have known the words, but she understood tone. She smiled sweetly back at him. "Pushee wumpah skocha-kloonkee!*" she chirped back, picking up the bag.

____
Watch out, exhaust for brains!

"Gimme that!" Jayne shouted as he tried to snatch it away from Raven. "That's personal!"

Raven let him grab it. "Oh yeah?" she asked. "Does it have a name?"

Jayne... just assumed the tone meant she was on board.

He grunted and nodded at Mara. Good. At least one of them was kept in line.

Mara sniggered as she dragged (hopefully nothing fragile in here, Jayne! Damn you, lack of upper body strength!) Jayne's duffel past Face.

"It'a a hat," Jayne grunted as he pulled it over his head and scowled at Raven. "You pay it no mind. Dong mah?"

Raven was doing her best not to laugh directly at the teacher. "What did you call me?"

Face suspected he didn't, but he also suspected putting in a report that said 'stole my stuff while using him as unpaid labour' would lead to more trouble on Jayne's part than his.

He frowned as he looked at a spot past Jayne, his expression a perfect mix of surprise and concern. "Probably that guy there," he said, pointing. "Since he's the one putting something in his jacket."

He was also the one who didn't actually exist.

"Utinni," Face mouthed at Mara, before schooling his features back to total innocence.

"I ain't that dumb," Jayne growled. "Get to work."

Mara made a noise dangerously close to a giggle. If she discovered anything close to a bathrobe in this stuff, Face was going to end up with it.

You know, for authenticity in his Jawa impression.

"I didn't call you anything," Jayne grunted. "Just take the stuff to my apartment and be done with it."

Welp. Jayne missed that one, lucky enough for Sparkle.

If he stole the stuff that Kaylee brewed in her engine he might go blind from drinking it. So he might be a bit careful drinking that supply.

"I don't know if I want to touch your stuff." So much for it not being worth it to argue with him. "I don't know where you've been."

So long as she also remembered the glowing orange googles.

For true authenticity.
