Christmas Gift

[lucky_e]

To Jane,

I hope that this world's winter is treating you well. I know some may find it difficult to adjust to at times! Hopefully this gift helps to make things a little easier for you and cozier!

Happy Holidays,

Santa Claus

[Shepard will receive a box of strong whiskey! As well as a new peacoat for those long voyages at sea!

...and also a stuffed bunny.]

[headhunt]

hey!
how's your body?

getting back up to form yet?

text

[onebullet]

Still a work in progress, but it's not the first time I've had to build back up.

Having to get creative with things I use to work out though.

[headhunt]

don't tell me you've got a history of getting roughed up like that up, commander

have you been going at it solo or are you looking for a buddy?

[onebullet]

It's complicated.

And unless you count sometimes using Garrus as a weight, I've been doing things solo. You offering to be my gym buddy?

[headhunt]

...does garrus even weigh anything?

( an obvious pause, karlach is thinking about it seriously. )

fuck yeah i am
that is
if you think you can keep up with me soldier

[onebullet]

Don't be fooled by his bony ass, there's a reason turians sink like a stone if you toss them in water. And that's without the armor.

And that sounds good to me, I'm pretty sure I can give you a run for your money.

[headhunt]

think he'll let me give it a try if i ask?

hmmm
let's see if that holds true
i'm pretty tough, you know

[onebullet]

If he says no tell him it's an order from me.

Don't worry I noticed when we were doing spirit clean-up. I still think I can hold my own.

[thearchangel]

im alive

[It's not easy to text one handed. While you're cuffed and beat to hell? That especially makes it hard. He hadn't exactly asked why he was being accosted and supposedly taken into custody. He'd just lashed out. But certain people need to know what happened. Especially this one.]

theyre arresting random rift people
guess i was on their lis t

dont know ho w long i have the phone
dont worry
weve got out of worse before

[onebullet]

[ The reply is near immediate, no time spared for disbelief. A timer is counting down on his phone being taken away, and she needs info STAT. ]

Where are you

[thearchangel]

a cell
was out cold the whole wa y in

cant see much
probably not the jail darrin was in
no holes in wall

never leving house unarmed again

[This is what happens when you step out for gun oil in your civies and not your armor.]

[onebullet]

Any idea which armada is holding you

[thearchangel]

thought it was corsair
but
place is different

[It's a quick, darting little video. Catching a quick shot of the surroundings before anyone notices. It's... definitely not a normal jail. There are too many crystals stuck in the walls, everything looks somehow ornate.]

bigger problem
tattoo is gone
one i showed you 1st day

[When he bragged he could, you know, survive on the food here.]

[onebullet]

[ No text message could accurately convey her anger, so it's just as well she doesn't waste time bothering. ]

Try to keep your phone hidden
Keep your head down
I'm coming

[thearchangel]

yes maam


dont worry
remember im hard to kill

[Garrus that's not nearly as reassuring as you might think it is.]

text; un: archangel

[thearchangel]

[It's a picture of a crystal.]

[A glowing sort of crystal - embedded in a robot shell. There's also a small pile of weaponry nearby, that Garrus was collecting, but that's beside the point.]

Same crystals from that island. They're in these mechs, with some kind of organic bits and pieces. Like what was under Cerberus goons' helmets.

Have you run into any of these things?

text; un: onebullet

[onebullet]

No. Not since you healed up.

[ A pause as she mulls the comparison over, scrolling back up to look at the crystal. ]

Scale of Cerberus goon to Human Reaper level of organic material?

[ ie: are the "organic bits" recognizably humanoid, or a fleshy smoothie. ]

[thearchangel]

Me either. Checked in with a couple others for their input - no word yet.

[His turn to pause, to check the mech bodies again.]

More toward the Cerberus end of the scale. Can’t tell what it was, but it still has shape.

[Not the Reaper Protein Shake, in other words.]

[onebullet]

Dammit

[ Considering the goons were Reaperized, the protein shake answer might have been more of a comfort. ]

Think these are from before or after your run in

[thearchangel]

I'd think 'after'. The tech here has always been a lot lower than what we're used to... nothing like this.

I'm trying to get more information out of this guy, but it's like trying to get a straight answer out of a hanar.

[A quick photo follows - candid, of his reluctant combat companion.]

All he says is "they're on settled islands".

[onebullet]

Real specific.

[ He sure does look like a prickly fellow, heh heh. ]

They referring to civilians or islands that don't move?

[thearchangel]

Tell me about it…

[it is so hard not to be Bad Cop worse cop with this guy.]

Populated places. I’ve tried asking island names and that’s been his answer.

[onebullet]

Maybe if you answer a riddle or three, he'll spill

[ It's a good job Garrus is there and not her - she'd have already snapped and chewed him out for being purposefully obtuse. ]

Why are they so unwilling to share if they apparently know so much

text; un: archangel

[thearchangel]

So -

I've been thinking.

[And why does this feel like a bigger question than it actually is? What is this weird awkwardness.]


What would you say to adding a little more space to the apartment? I don't think I can get a whole wall of fish tanks, but I...

I thought you might like more room to stretch.
