Plugged in my Oregon Trail (original) CD and away we go.
I just jotted down the important things for the characters, not every little detail (that'd get boring fast).

Me: Zoe
Party Members: Wash, Simon, River, Mal

Leaving in June.
June 12: River becomes sick with typhoid fever.
June 17: Wash becomes sick with typhoid fever.
June 23: River gets better.
June 25: River is suffering from exhaustion. (WTF)
June 26: We rest for 2 days.
June 28: Wash gets better.
June 28: Three sets of clothing are stolen. (The guys decide to preserve the female modesty and offer Zoe and River the remaining two sets of clothes)
July 5: River gets better.
July 17: Reach Independence Rock. (Zoe and River try to trade things for clothing but nobody has any to spare, apparently.)
July 17: Wash has the measles.
July 18: River has a broken leg. (Probably from excess dancing.)
July 28: Wash gets better.
August 1: Manage to acquire 3 sets of clothing.
August 5: Simon is suffering from exhaustion.
August 6: Wash has cholera. Decide to rest for 2 days.
August 16: Simon gets better.
August 17: Wash and River follow suit and get better.
August 23: We lose the trail for four days. Health is poor.
August 25: River has a fever.
August 27: Rest for two days.
September 3: River gets better.
September 4: Health of everyone is very poor.
September 11: River has a broken arm.
September 14: Wash has dysentery.
September 25: Wash is better.
September 26: River died of dysentery. (WTF)
September 27: Simon has cholera.
September 28: Wash has dysentery.

October 4: We made it!
Total: 3592 points

My favorite part of the whole thing was that Mal and Zoe were totally fine the whole time. Y'know, solders and all. They can deal. xD

BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THIS IS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE GAME IS.



I DEMAND DRABBLES. ICONS. SOMETHING. ANYTHING. GO.
Although srs, little pixel Oregon Trail wagon with something next to it would be epic. Text: "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die?" would be hilar.
(PS: and if you do use this for anything, all I ask is a little credit and post it here, that'd be awesome.)

In my head-canon (I already have fanon for this whut?), She is a bubbly Indian girl they befriend on the way! XD
Makes it all the more impressive that she can fix a wagon considering she's rarely exposed to them.

I just came up with a crazy, cracky fanon for all of this in like...5 minutes? XD
How in the heck?


Kit says (11:33 PM):
im thinking of all this insane fanon for your verse
Ceribri says (11:33 PM):
wha---XDDDDDD
yay
I have one whole fan
Kit says (11:33 PM):
Mal's been to oregon multiple times, but always goes back and forth (hense why he knows the trail so well)
Kit says (11:34 PM):
Zoe was a slave, Mal freed her (as best he could), that's why she keeps calling him 'boss'
Wash is part of his permanent crew, best cattle driver of the east. unofficially married Zoe
Kit says (11:35 PM):
Simon and River are their latest passengers (outlaws, but no one knows that yet)
Ceribri says (11:35 PM):
XDDD omg
Kit says (11:35 PM):
Inara and Kaylee are part of the same indian tribe, Mal always stops there so they know him well
Jayne's part of a rival tribe
Kit says (11:36 PM):
And Book is a cheitain...somewhere
so like, while they're visiting inara and kaylee, jayne's tribe gets into a disagreement with them
and theres this thing
Kit says (11:37 PM):
and mal and them are all helping
and THEN the law catches up
Ceribri says (11:37 PM):
XDD just write it all down
Kit says (11:37 PM):
and reveal they're after simon and river
and they see simon
but not river
and the fight gets huger
so inara and kaylee are somehow taken for the ride
and jayne get hurt so simon is treating him
Kit says (11:38 PM):
and they have no choice but to take him
and book is just sitting in the wagon lol
and off then go
WOOHOO
I AM WRITING IT DOWN
HERE IT IS
Ceribri says (11:40 PM):
XDDDDDDD

I hasn't got paid yet and you could come to Walmart by the mall and entertain me. Possibly involves me buying you swedish fish even though they're gross. <33333

I mean I already read a whole book there this morning.
