06 [voice then video]

[startraveling]

[At first, you all hear an irritated voice all over the network.]

--Hey, get off! What's the matter with this thing? [And then more angry grumbling and the sound of someone pulling something (however that may sound). After a while of just irritated grunting, the voice function switches to video

[officer_garrus]

[Helpful turian passes by, sees person having trouble. Well, might as well lend a hand while he's here.]

Need some help there?

[action]!!

[startraveling]

[Whoa whoa what are you. Ted, by now, is just glaring at his device attached to his hand before looking up at Garrus.]

Uh, it's fine... I'm fine. [He pauses as he just.... stares.] We haven't met before, right?

[action]

[officer_garrus]

No, don't think so. [Good thing he's used to being stared at.] The name's Garrus, and yes, I'm an alien.

Now c'mere and let me see about this... [Gently grips the human's wrist and leans in, looking for glue residue or any sort of hint this is the result of some prank.]

[startraveling]

An alien...? [That's a foreign term.]

[action]

[startraveling]

[Enough of that, though. This - whatever he is - is willing to help him, so Ted offers a lopsided smile.] Er, nice to meet you, Garrus.

[action]

[officer_garrus]

A turian, to be specific.

[Tugs on the device a few times, to no avail.] Aren't you stubborn.

[And he gets a bigger surprise when he tries to let go of Ted.] What the..?

[action] 1/2

[startraveling]

Must be the name of your--

[action]

[startraveling]

[And Ted's very, very surprised too!] Okay, what the-- Why aren't you letting go? [Oh no. Oh nooooo. Ted's getting a funny feeling about this.]

[action]

[officer_garrus]

I... don't know... [Tugs a few times, but his hand stays where it is.] This is not good.

[action]

[startraveling]

You think? [Shakes his hand.] Don't tell me this is the reason why my device got stuck in the first place!

[action]

[officer_garrus]

The important thing to do right now is stay calm. This could just be a curse and it'll go away by tonight.

[action]

[startraveling]

If it is, what happens to us? ... We can't be stuck to each other for a whole day.

[action]

[officer_garrus]

We'll just have to be careful, that's all.

[action]

[startraveling]

Careful? How do you think we're going to walk?

[action]

[officer_garrus]

Haven't you ever walked while holding hands with someone?

[action]

[startraveling]

Not when that someone's your size... [And admittedly, he really hasn't walked with someone while holding their hands.]
