[well if this isn't freaking great.

so, he's missed the part about zeta district being quarantined until just now, and he can't say he likes the look of what the hell is going on out there. he's seen these things before - because uh, didn't we just have to deal with this? come on! but it doesn't surprise him to see that here are still some stragglers left behind.

he peers into his omni-tool with one eyebrow raised, a very unimpressed expression sliding across his face.] So, I dunno about you guys, but I think I'm gonna stay inside for this one. It looks like it's raining bullets and damn if I didn't forget my bulletproof galoshes.

[pause.] I thought we got rid of all these things. Hey, either of you Shepards - what the hell's the deal?

Don't tell me you were expecting a vacation, Joker.

You alright?

[airraid]

Okay, I won't. But I'm still looking around for those drinks with the little umbrellas in them.

M'all right so far. Not going outside, if you're thinking about asking me to come help you fight these things, though. Just putting that out there.

How will we make it without you though?

[But really, if you're cracking jokes, you can't be in that much danger at least.]

[airraid]

.. How will you make it through if all you're doing is dragging my crippled ass around?

[are you kidding? he can crack jokes at the end of the world. this means nothing.]

[fightforthelost]

You've got a point there.

[Joker, you're really going to have to start getting more useful without the Normandy around, bro.]

Just sit tight and keep us updated on anything we should know.

[airraid]

[hush, shep. you're not his real dad. he's .. working .. on getting to be more useful.]

Sure thing, Commander .. I'll be sure to let you know first thing if I get turned. Might even come say hi personally.

[fightforthelost]

Right. I'll try and show you more courtesy than I do the other Reapers.

[oh man dark humor hooray]

[airraid]

One shot right through the temple, right? Put me out of my misery?

[he's going along with this don't you even question it.]

[fightforthelost]

Just stay in your room.

[he don't wanna have to put you down, bro :C ]

[airraid]

[well he doesn't want you to have to put him down, either. don't worry, he's playing it safe for now.]

Roger that, Commander.

[pause.] You .. be careful too, all right?

[fightforthelost]

Don't worry about me. Getting shot at is part of the daily routine.

[airraid]

[that doesn't mean he can't worry about you, damn it. :|

but have a nod.] Yeah, I know. Still, watch your ass. Gotta think that every one of those things out there wants a piece of it.

[he doesn't mean that how it sounds, but .. that's your pilot for you, shep.]

[fightforthelost]

[lmfao get this look, Joker.]

[airraid]

[and get this one right back.

because it's true and you know it.]
