Tinkletoes' Mission

 

I would like to thank the crew of Firefly (Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau and Gina Torres) for giving my characters something to do.

This writer lady thanks you for leaving an opening for me to have a bit of fun this afternoon.


- H. R. Apostos (Another Browncoat).


“We’ve got your backs.” (TP giggles, holding up a plastic skeleton spine.) “Silly Humans.”


Can’t Stop The Signal. Keep Flying.



Dear :

Nathan Fillion and …

Nathan Fillion and …

Nathan Fillion and …

Nathan Fillion and …

Nathan Fillion and …

Nathan Fillion and … (I know there were only seven of you but one of you popped up twice.)


That is a whole lot more Nathans than I remember but that ain’t important right now. I just wanted to let all you Nathans know – even the girls - that I watched your panel the other day. As a fellow Browncoat and brother-in-arms I kinda wanted to say, I hear you and I’ve got your back.

Tough guys like us, well, we’ve got to stick together. In the darkness of our universe the little people need Big Damn Heroes like y’all ... and me of course.

I, Tinkletoes …

A buzzing sound enters the kitchen, growing louder, Tinkletoes looks up from his notebook paper to find TP fluttering nearby. The faerie is gesturing to the self-proclaimed mercenary to come closer. Tinkletoes leans in and listens carefully, nodding, he continues writing.


I, Tinkletoes being a fellow Browncoat and upstanding tough guy doth (the faerie told me to use that word) pledge that I will aid in seeing Firefly The Animated Series become a reality. Serenity will speed through the sky once again. Your cause is my cause, ‘cause we’re all in this together. Although Mal and Jayne aren’t quite as skilled and nuanced(?) a warrior as I am, I’m happy to share my ninja-zombie fighting techniques with them if they’re interested whenever they’d like, bring your own grenades and Kevlar men. I ain’t no babysitter. I’m also willing to forgive the fact that the first Nathan ya-hoo looks a lot like both Monitor Man and Mural Man. It’s probably not his fault, everyone has a look alike somewhere.

Anyway, I’m here to help. I’m plannin’ on starting with collecting a couple of those money guys.


TP shakes his head, the faerie flutters in front of Tinkletoes’ face and speaks quickly in a high pitched voice.

“Too aggressive. Really?” Tinkletoes asks.


Sorry about that. Invitin’ some of those money guys for a coffee so I can scare the livin’ …


“Dumbnuts is at it again.” House comments.

The self-proclaimed mercenary glares at the ceiling for a moment before scratching out the previous line.


So we can talk about the benefits of investing in Firefly The Animated Series. I want you Nathans to know that no thanks are necessary. I wouldn’t mind a credit on the show and getting a chance to help out with the actiony stuff. That’ll be thanks enough.

Most sincerely,

Your Friend,

Tinkletoes.
