Firefly: "Trash"

[cdybedahl]

Saffron rocks. And she's hot. Now, how to semi-plausibly set her up with Inara... Them pretty much detesting each other makes it a bit of a challenge.

Inara does comment that Saffron has had some training. Maybe it was from Inara, or at the same time as Inara's.

If it was, then she'd recognise Saffron. As is it, she recognises Companion techniques being used on her. So, given that Saffron doesn't seem to use elaborate disguises, I can't really see her and Inara ever having met before "Our Mrs. Reynolds".

Hmm, it's a shame Companions are allowed to be choosy about clients, otherwise you could get Saffron rich (or convincingly so) and horny and vengeful, and Inara going along with it because it's her job.

Maybe Saffron scams one of Inara's former clients, that Inara now dislikes (Atherton Wing comes to mind, or the father from Jaynestown, or an OC), and Inara comes to admire/desire Saffron as a result?

I wonder if Saffron could set up a fake persona good enough to fool Inara's client database thingy?

Hmm, could be do-able. We don't really know much about network security in that 'verse, so you could make up pretty much what you like. That could either get her into Inara's bed, or lead into the other scenario I mentioned.

If the idea of making Saffron a computer expert (on top of all her other accomplishments) feels too far-fetched, she could always have a partner. They want to get access to lots of rich and horny people so that they can scam them. Of course, Saffron's not necessarily going to follow the spirit of their agreement...;)
