"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."
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 09:39 pm (UTC)So why're you asking if you already know the answer, Batman?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 09:45 pm (UTC)Hell, if it was me and Sol, I'd be bragging about her.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:00 pm (UTC)[He shouldn't be angry at Garrus because his family survived the war; he shouldn't, but couldn't help it. Garrus' family got out alive from a full-scale invasion on Palaven, but his sister couldn't make it out of a small one on a backwater colony-- it wasn't fair, and it felt like he was going to choke on his own goddamn bitterness.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:09 pm (UTC)[It's probably safe to say that he hit something there. He tries not to let Joker's tone faze him, taking the liquor in front of him into account.]
What is it this time? Another fight?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:32 pm (UTC)No, it's not, and fuck you for asking.
[Speaking of that alcohol, now seemed like a good time for him to take another pull.]
Me and Gunny are none of your damn business, so try to keep your flat nose out of it.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:36 pm (UTC)[Then this happens]
Congratulations, Moreau, you just made it my damn business.
What the hell is wrong with you?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:48 pm (UTC)Drop it, Vakarian.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 10:53 pm (UTC)[HAH. BEAT THAT.]
Now tell me what the hell is going on.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 11:14 pm (UTC)[Joker punctuated that sentence by slamming his tumbler down onto the bar top hard enough to make cracks spiderweb across the glass. He may or may not have also broken a finger or two, but he wasn't paying attention.]
[That sure escalated quickly.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-27 11:30 pm (UTC)[Despite that, however, there was an underlying twinge of concern when he spoke next. Joker, as much of an ass as he could be, never got explosively angry. Not like this.]
Like hell, Joker.
What happened?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 12:05 am (UTC)[This was a bad idea, the alcohol was a bad idea, he should've locked himself in the helm until he'd gotten his shit together. And he was going to get it together, he would damn well man up and deal with it, because didn't need anyone's help even when his life was turning into a mess. This was his mess; he'd made this bed and he was damn well going to lie in it.]
[Joker forced his voice into something sort of like calmness, but he couldn't make it not sound tense.] I'm fine, Garrus. Nothing happened, it's just been a long couple of days.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 12:25 am (UTC)[Garrus pushes his own drink aside carefully, as if anything but would cause even more damage]
Damn it, let me help you.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 01:41 am (UTC)[Locking himself in the helm was looking like a better and better idea.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 01:51 am (UTC)So take your pick.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 02:39 am (UTC)[Wow this conversation totally got out of his control at some point.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 03:00 am (UTC)[But at least they've made progress]
Like what?
Come on. Talk to me.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 03:33 am (UTC)I don't even know where to start.
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 03:37 am (UTC)[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 03:59 am (UTC)[Joker is not good at this whole 'sharing is caring' thing. When he has a problem, he keeps it to himself and fixes it, he doesn't start talking about his feelings.]
I need a drink.
[Stalling tactic is go. He's going to get up and get himself another glass of kerosene.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:01 am (UTC)[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:15 am (UTC)[And he knocked the whole thing back, all at once. It burned all the way down.]
[When he set the glass back down again, his eyes went to the door; not that he could've possibly made it there before Garrus blocked him, but he was tempted to make a break for it anyway.]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:23 am (UTC)[FOCUS]
[ON]
[JOKER]
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:35 am (UTC)[Escape was clearly not an option.]
[He poured himself another glass, just about as full as the last one, and took his seat again. He left the bottle out, because he was probably going to need it.]
[Okay.]
[Okay, he could do this. He wasn't going to be able to get out until he said something, so he might as well get it over with. And Garrus was trustworthy, right? He could do this.]
...Do you remember when I said that Gunny blamed me for our dad being dead?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:41 am (UTC)Yeah?
[ACTION]
Date: 2013-01-28 04:48 am (UTC)[That glass was looking real interesting right about now; in fact, he couldn't seem to take his eyes off of it.]
And that she did, too.
