"Hey, this is Joker. Leave a message and I might get back to you. Unless you're trying to sell me something or I really just don't feel like talking to you-- in that case, take a hint and quit calling me."

Shepard took care of Garrus. He won't be leaving the apartment any time soon][Annnd Shepard's going to tap the holo on her door and unlock it. Lalala walking on in.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-15 08:41 am (UTC)Good, Joker liked living.][He followed her in, taking a seat on the couch that he was kind of starting to think of as his own. It seemed that Shepard was inviting him up here enough, at least.]
[And it was kind of nice to sit down after a few hours on his knees with his head in the Normandy's circuitry.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-15 08:49 am (UTC)I've been meaning to ask, How is your jaw?
[Shepard mused, looking over to Joker.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-15 08:53 am (UTC)[He brought one hand up to rub at it; the insistent ache pretty quickly discouraged that, though.]
...Kinda stiff, too.
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-15 09:01 am (UTC)Let's hope for a speedy recovery, hm?
[She shifts forward and twists off the cap of the infamous bottle of brandy. With her other hand she motions towards one of the glasses he still had and reached over to take it from him a moment later, her fingers brushing against his hand.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-17 12:48 am (UTC)[He'd definitely had worse before.]
[Joker handed over the glasses and tried to ignore her touch. That brandy was starting to look better and better by the minute.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-18 07:53 am (UTC)[Shepard takes the glass and fills it before handing it back to Joker. After giving him the full glass, she's going to fill hers and take a sip from it.]
[Yeah, this drink definitely was looking like a good idea and she had no thoughts of even leaving the Normandy tonight. Not after what happened today, especially back at the apartment with Garrus.]
[She was trying to keep her emotions in check, but a long sigh did escape her.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-18 10:07 pm (UTC)Chakwas' stash isn't gonna last too long at this rate.
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 02:52 am (UTC)At least for now.]
No, it's not. I'll keep an eye out for any Earth liquor the next time I'm out and about.
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 03:23 am (UTC)Yeah, you do that.
[He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees.] So this is the part where you tell me why you really came up here to talk with me, right?
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 03:30 am (UTC)Is there something wrong with inviting you up for a drink?
I don't think I need a reason, Joker.
[She's dodging it like a pro.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 03:45 am (UTC)[He took a thoughtful sip. Joker wasn't the best helmsman in the Alliance just because he was a great pilot-- it was also because he was good at reading his COs. Knowing how his commanders worked meant that he could do his job better.] Not that you have to tell me about it or anything.
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 03:54 am (UTC)[Leave it to her pilot to close in on her and sense a problem.]
Joker, I'm fine.
[She's definitely not fine.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 04:26 am (UTC)[Her poker face just didn't work on him anymore. Either she was going to have to get a lot better at it, or she'd just have to live with the fact that Joker could read her moods.
Maybe he should teach Garrus about it.]Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 04:40 am (UTC)Fine, you win.
[Shepard's going to shift against the couch, sighing once again. Dammit Joker and reading her like an open book. No use keeping up this charade.]
What do you want to hear?
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 04:53 am (UTC)[If he had to take a guess, he would've said it was something to do with Garrus-- the turian was close to her and if anyone could get under her skin quick, it'd be him. When a girl was pissed, you usually didn't have to look much further than the boyfriend.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-19 05:01 am (UTC)Garrus and I got into an argument earlier.
[Shepard took another drink from her glass before setting it down in front of her onto the table. Her arms crossed over her chest and she looked over at Joker.]
So I left.
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 01:00 am (UTC)What'd he say to you?
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 01:03 am (UTC)[
HE'S A BIG STUPID TURIAN]Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 01:11 am (UTC)[Garrus, you stupid, stupid birdman.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 01:33 am (UTC)[Now she's going to fiddle with the hem of her shirt. OH BOY, A DISTRACTION!]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 07:54 pm (UTC)[Take a lesson from Joker, his poker face thus far seems to have been goddamn impenetrable.
Like Garrus' tightly-clenched ass.]Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-20 09:53 pm (UTC)[Her words came out more as a joking tone than actually being serious. She was only kidding, anyways.]
It was working up until you said anything.
[Shepard shakes her head.]
This is weird- talking about relationship problems, I mean. I never ... have before.
[
Pft, Shepard can see through it. Sometimes. 8| Nice try though, Joker.][
also, LEAVE GARRUS' ASS OUT OF THIS]Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 12:01 am (UTC)[He rubbed the back of his neck.] Not gonna lie, I'm not really all that great with the whole relationship thing, myself. Can count the number of 'em I've been in on one hand.
[The real question is how many of those relationships have been with his hand.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 02:17 am (UTC)That makes two of us.
[Shepard sighed heavily.]
[Hell, she never really had time for relationships and when she did, they usually fell apart for a number of different reasons.]
[Like with Liara.]
