On sending app to ink_city

[didntcomebacksane]

 What? No...

No mun. Please, not there. I was perfectly fine.  Homeless. 

There's monsters there. So many. Many monsters. They'll see me and take me away. No...no no no.  N-Not that there's anything I can do about it. You're going to make me go there anyway. 

Is Tali there? Or...Commander Shepard? 

[No, but Legion and a Reaper are already there.]

...what? GETH!? REAPERS?!

NO! No no no. I can't. Not again! I have to hide!

[So glad you're taking this like a man.]

[weareallgeth]

[Come on, Geth aren't so bad.]

[Here's one now.]

[didntcomebacksane]

[They just took over his planet. Nothin big, right?]

N-No! Stay away. You're from there, aren't you?

[weareallgeth]

[It could recognize the symptoms of fear, and new to be cautious.]

[Not that it's long pauses were much of a comfort.]

Yes, but we do not intend harm to you Creator Veetor'Nara.

[didntcomebacksane]

Y-You don't? But...

[You're weird, Legion.]

The Geth...they took our homeworld!

[weareallgeth]

[There's another lapse of silence.]

The geth fought for continued existence. We did not wish to destroy the Creators.

[Maybe if it explains, there could be some cooperation.]

[stilcalibrating]

Sounds like your mun is more intent on causing you more mental stress. But the Geth aren't all that bad, well, not until they stopped shooting us.

[didntcomebacksane]

Oh! Yes...she seemed to take my reaction to a game as the main inspiration. But why me? There are others who'd be better at dealing with this...

Not me. I'm not...not well.

W-What do you mean?

[stilcalibrating]

No, I remember finding you back on Freedom's Progress. You're doing better since then, that's for sure.

Ah, well, the Geth help you get your home world back but... it's a bit of a mess. It's all right, I'm sure you'll be able to handle it better than you think.

[didntcomebacksane]

T-Thank you. It's only because of your help and Commander Shepard that I've been able to recover so quickly.

I...thank you.

M..Maybe there is hope for me.

[opticshots]

[Soothing voice, go!]

You'll be alright, Veetor. I have complete faith that you'll do just fine against whatever monsters your mundane makes you come across there.

[didntcomebacksane]

[He puts a hand to the back of his head, as if thinking about it.]

Tali...I'm sorry.

I...I don't think I'm strong enough. Not without someone...

I'm not like you or Commander Shepard.

[opticshots]

But I think you're strong enough. That has to count for something, right?

And I bet if you hold out long enough, someone will show up and ally with you.

[didntcomebacksane]

Yes...I...thank you, Tali!

At least someone does.

I...maybe I can hold out.

Maybe.

[opticshots]

You can, Veetor.

[She reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder, using a big gesture to make sure he sees it coming.]

Why don't you tell me what you know so far about the place you'll be going?

[didntcomebacksane]

[The touch is appreciated, and he looks down at the hand, giving a small sigh out of gratitude.]

T-There's many monsters. Giants. Like the Geth but..so big.

And there's monsters in the forest...

Monsters everywhere.

[opticshots]

So you know to be wary of the forest, and to always be prepared to fight. You're smart. You'll be able to find yourself safe spots, I'm sure.

[Tali keeps her hand on his shoulder a moment longer, before giving a gentle squeeze and dropping her arm back down to her side.]

Survival is all about being smart, and I know you can do that.

[surroundedbyprimitives]

Whatever monsters you fear, they are likely not as bad as you think.

In all likelihood, they are much worse.

1/2

[didntcomebacksane]

...

2/2

[didntcomebacksane]

T-They are.

So many monsters there. Many of them giants. They'll come after me. I just know it.

[Comforting A+]

I'll just leave this icon here.

[inmycycle]

YOU ARE TROLL, JAVIK

[didntcomebacksane]

...

I-I...

[feathertyrant]

I'm sure you'll be fine, given the proper protection.

[didntcomebacksane]

I-I have shields...b-but...

What if they capture me?

[feathertyrant]

I'm certain you'll get rescued in time.

[didntcomebacksane]

B-But by who...

[feathertyrant]

Myself, of course.

[doubledfun]

I assure you...you have nothing to fear from the monsters of that world.

[wellbangokay]

[This Shepard isn't going he wishes he was. Veetor's jittery beyond belief. He'd like to join in on reassuring him but...]

...reapers are there?

[didntcomebacksane]

Commander Shepard!!

[Boy is he glad to see you.]

No..I mean yes! It's a smaller one, but a reaper. Yes. Very big. Even by small standards.

Want to go home. Where it's safe...

this is why you should sleep, kid. So you won't forget words like me. Derp. though^ should be there

[wellbangokay]

[It's small but big but still small. Okay.] You mean like a kind of husk? [Because what are the odds of there being a giant cuttlefish in game huh?]

I know you're scared, Veetor. We don't know what will happen but...[He gently pats the quarian's shoulder.] I'm sure your mun won't put you in harm's way. [...much?] The fact that your mun has you at all should show how much you mean to them. You'll be all right.

[Probably not the best thing to say, but he's trying.]

[you_shot_me]

[Silverbolt can't bear to see someone so scared.]

Is there anything we could do to help?

[didntcomebacksane]

[Silverbolt gets minor points for looking somewhat like a Turian, but it's still scary to Veetor.]

Y-You're one of those monsters...a-aren't you?

Don't hurt me! I don't know anything! I just want to go home!

[you_shot_me]

[Silverbolt kneels down, to take some of the edge off that's due to his height.]

I will not hurt you, and I do not want anything from you.

[didntcomebacksane]

...

[There's a slight flinch, and he covers his head...only to find out that there was no pain coming. He peeks a slight glance up.]

Y-You don't? Y...you're not going to take me away?

[you_shot_me]

[He shakes his head.]

I am not.

[didntcomebacksane]

O-Oh...okay.

I...I think. This isn't a trap right?

[His hands slowly come off his head, the glowing eyes blinking quickly and nervously behind that facemask.]

[you_shot_me]

[Bolt's ears fall, and for just a moment he looks very concerned.]

I cannot prove to you this is no trap, but regardless, I give you my word.

[He tilts his head just a bit, and smiles gently.]
