Wherever I may roam/Petty Revenge

No matter where she went, Private Campbell got stuck with the shit jobs. You'd think a war breaking out would get her some action, a chance to show her stuff, maybe advance? No. She went from babysitting a smart-ass cripple who probably could've been guarded by her gramma's pekinese to watching a damn door. An important door? No. A door between two equally restricted areas that already had ample security.

Sometimes she wondered if it could get any worse... and then she heard that familiar limp, and her former prisoner walked in, which he only did to drive her up the wall because she knew he had no reason to be in the war room -- and he complimented her on the job she was doing.Effusively ( ... )

"I've studied your human religions. The Devil and his fall. [...] the Leviathans deserve the same fate." -Javik after the Leviathan DLC.

Very interesting twist on the Biblical story. Unique in a good way. :)

PROMPT: That person is dead

"Tali, I'm telling you that person is dead."

"And...I - urp - that person is alive. I wwwwwas just talking toooooooooooohim and I say he's alive."

Garrus tossed back his whiskey and leaned his head against the booth.So much for a date. So much for the two of them getting to know each other somewhere other than from behind their respective weapons or that dark tomb-like room called the Main Battery. Tali is drunk and oogling a certain human sitting across the isle from them. A certain dead human.

"...He's alive and he's cute aaaaand he likes me. Don't you think he - urp - looks a little like Shep - ard?"

He felt his anger flair. "Is that actually your personal bottom line of attractiveness? A human man who looks like Shepard? A DEAD Human man? Why don't you just go, right now and tell Shepard how you feel about him ( ... )

Cute! So. Cute. So unbearably cute!
And I love the idea of Garrus taking Tali on a date in a place with dead people. *thumbs up*

This was cute. As much as I find the Garrus X Tali pairing to be utterly ridiculous and non sequitur in the game (it felt like a really bad joke taken too far), this was not bad. And drunk Tali is adorable! :)

8-) Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed it and it made you laugh. I imagined our long suffering Garrus might find Tali barfing on him a sure sign she cared.

PROMPT: Does this stuff have side effects?

“Does this stuff have side effects?” Tali asked Mordin, holding a vial of green liquid aloft.

“No! Perfectly safe! Wait. Quarians have two kidneys. *Inhale* May cause you to have to urinate more frequently,” he concluded.

“That’s it? Please Mordin, this is serious!”

“Yes, certain. Herbal supplement from plants native to Rannoch. Safe for you to use. Still advise against mating with Shepard. Too many unknown variables. Risk higher than reward.”

“I know the risks!” Tali shot back. “I want to do this. I want to share myself with him, and nothing you say is going to change my mind.”

“Of course. Simply giving advice as doctor. But mammals let hormones do the talking. Ignore logic. Very interesting. *Inhale* Maybe write a book on it.” Mordin smiled. “You and Shepard might get a chapter.”

Tali put both hands on her visor in embarrassment. “Keelah! Please tell me you’re joking.”

“Change names of course. Doctor-patient confidentiality. Had same talk with Shepard. Would never dream of ( ... )

hahaha. No matter how many times I hear Mordin tell Shepard to self-sterilize I crack up. WHAT does it MEAN??? BWHAAAAAAAAA I get this instant vizualization of Shepard carefully, thoroughly and thoughtfully washing The Commander. 'Cause, you know, Tali's worth it. 8-D

Haha! I hadn't thought of it quite like that... though it makes perfect sense! It's not like Shepard to do things half-way. ;)
