outsiders | 001 || Video + Action

[The face that appears on the feed from the omni-tool is certainly alien, and distinctly female to those who actually know her race. But she certainly doesn’t look impressed in the slightest, of anything she looks mildly bored with the entire scenario.]

So, I’m not sure if everyone has lost their minds since I was last to Omega, but I’ve had about six humans ask me what I was. Now I know that all of you have only been acquainted with turians for thirty years, but if you’re going to be part of the galaxy you should figure out what a turian is, there’s only twenty billion of us in the galaxy.

So if anyone else has stupid questions to ask me, I’ll be in Afterlife having a drink and trying to enjoy the dancers.

[She’ll pause for a moment and think, before addressing the recording again.]

Also, can someone kindly explain why I’m on Omega when I should be on Illium? Never wanted to be on this rubble heap again, and it only looks like it’s become more degraded since my last charming visit.

[OOC: For those who are in and around Afterlife she'll be hanging out there either having a drink or out near the front having a smoke. Feel free to chat her up.]

Where to start...

Okay, first off, do you at least know about the Reapers invading?

No, but I do remember that human, Shepard, warning the council about it after that supposed 'geth' attack on the Citadel. I didn't believe it was geth, they have no reason to attack anyone other than the quarians.

So, what, we have Reapers invading now? My day just keeps getting better.

Yeah.

And, to no big surprise, nobody listened to her.

She is a human, you can't ignore how the rest of the galaxy feels about them. It's no surprise that they didn't listen and tried to cover it up.

I don't think it has anything to do with her being human so much as the entire galaxy being in denial.

Or we could scrap the middle man and say the council are idiots and afraid of thinking on their own.

We could definitely say that, yeah.

And now the galaxy is paying for it.

So, Reapers are invading, and we have no idea why we're all on Omega. Great.

[She'll rub her face.]

How is this galactic war going?

[She's almost afraid to hear what he has to say. As much as she doesn't like the Hierarchy, the threat of something like the fabled Reapers would just make the turians a nice target to obliterate strategically.]

...It's going.

[The way he downs his drink right after saying that should be all she needs to tell just which way it's going]

That bad hunh?

[She'll sip her drink and order him another. If it's that ugly out there, and judging by his face it is, she'll buy him a drink.]

It'll get better. It has to.

[He blinks at the order, but also nods his head as thanks]

[She'll nod back since she can be kind when she wants to be.]

I hope you're right. My life has seemed to be one bad step after another. Now with reapers, shit, might as well die fighting for something I guess.

If it helps, there's plenty to fight for while we're here.

May not be Reapers, but it's something.

I've already lived on this station once and my last experience wasn't one I plan on repeating. Ever.

Maybe someone will need a hacker, I'm not one for shooting and running as far as fighting goes.

A turian who isn't into running and gunning?

Color me shocked.

Amazing isn't it? Not all of us like to fit into the nice little niche the Hierarchy gives us.

[Someone's a little bitter.]

Then allow me to congratulate you on meeting one of the few of your race that doesn't enjoy fighting.

Relax, I don't mean anything by it. I'm just teasing.

Sorry, I'm just under some stress and the Hierarchy and I aren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye currently. I doubt you'd believe me if I said I tend to handle teasing fairly well on a good day.

Eh, there's only one way to find that out.

[He grins with a flare of his mandibles before taking another sip of his drink]

[She'll laugh at that and smile back at him.]

You're cute, maybe I'll take you up on that offer if that face of yours marks how badass you actually are, Garrus.

This old thing? It's just a scratch. It doesn't even compare to some of the stories I've got.

[Shameless flirting? Shameless flirting!]

Just a scratch? Looks like you were slapped with a high powered rifle. But I'm sure the story is much more interesting than anything anything I could imagine.

[All the shameless flirting!]

It was a rocket, actually.

Shot from a gunship. Point blank.

[He takes another sip and cocks his head]

True story.

I'm impressed, not many could've lived through that. [She'll give him a smile and lean forward onto the bar slightly.]

Can't say I have any good stories like that. You must've really pissed off someone to get them pointing a gunship at you.

Eh, it's what I do.

[He does eye her up and down, though. It's not a creepy, predatory gaze, but a simple once-over]

Nobody spends any amount of time on Omega without a 'good' story or two.
