"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."
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.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 03:45 am (UTC)[If this had been a difficult piece of navigation, Joker would be her man. But this kind of flying was something that he wasn't an ace at.]
Gonna hang around here for a while?
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 04:20 am (UTC)Just to... y'know, let us both calm down.
[Shepard reached for her drink, taking a sip of it.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 05:43 am (UTC)[He certainly wouldn't mind her being around. And the Normandy was just as much her home as it was his.]
Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-21 06:04 am (UTC)Re: [action]
Date: 2012-02-22 11:07 pm (UTC)I could always punch him for you. I've still got one good hand left after the last time.
[Clearly the best way to break it was with snark.]
