on deciding her history :'D

[comingforthem]

So you're saying that my options here are to romance a dead man or be - what did you call it? 'Lonely Lesbian Shepard'.

Thanks, kid. [Driest tone ever, and then a sigh] I guess I've been called worse... [why is this her life]

Do you have to be lonely?

[comingforthem]

[A beat, and then an eyebrow raise. Her tone changes because she's a fucking creeper] Is that an offer?

[hawkeward]

[It's okay they can be creepers together.] Maybe. What can I say, I'm a giver.

[comingforthem]

Is that so? Do you have a name, or do I just called you giver?

[hawkeward]

Hawke, and I take it you prefer Shepard over Lonely Lesbian.

[comingforthem]

[A chuckle] How'd you guess?

[hawkeward]

[She taps her temple] I'll have you know that I am a brilliant problem solver.

[comingforthem]

Oh, yeah? Is there anything else you're brilliant at? [Shepard why]

[hawkeward]

I assure you that I am a woman of many talents. [why is this conversation happening]

[soulwound]

[A faint smile.] Are there other options you'd rather have?

[comingforthem]

[The smile Meetra gets in response is just as faint, and sort of distant] None that are open to me.

[soulwound]

[Crossing her arms over her chest.] So there's someone else that you want.

[comingforthem]

[Crossing her arms over her chest in return] Sorry. I'm not really in the habit of discussing my love life with total strangers. [A beat. Shepard what is this post even about?] Well, not usually.

[soulwound]

[That drags a grin out of her.] I've heard worse before. Or, well... I've had to deal with worse than being called a 'Lonely Lesbian'.

[comingforthem]

You and me both. Which makes you wonder why she felt the need to tack that onto the end of it.

[soulwound]

If there's one thing I've learned from mundanes, they like pushing us into uncomfortable corners and watching us squirm. I doubt this is any different.

[comingforthem]

[a chuckle] I think you hit the nail on the head, there. You'd think they'd find better things to do than toy with people's lives.

[soulwound]

But I think we know by now that they won't. [A shrug.] There's an intoxication associated with having the power to control others.

[bodysings]

Pulling that shit has to be a mun thing. [ She identifies with you so much right now, Jane. ]

[comingforthem]

I take it you've had a similar experience?

[bodysings]

My mun "ships" ships me with a dead guy and a whiny girl wonder who I personally can't stand.

[comingforthem]

Sorry to hear that. I don't think what we want really comes into it, with these people.

[bodysings]

I've had worse. That's for damn certain, if it did I wouldn't be getting put on some bullshit prison ship. [ Are you still mad about that, Rose? Aww. ]

[comingforthem]

Prison ship? [Raising her eyebrows] Last one of those I ran into ended up blowing up a little bit.

[bodysings]

"Blowing up a little bit?" That's like being "mostly pregnant" or "kind of dead." And you ask me? I wouldn't give a rat's ass if this ship blew up.

[willdestroyyou]

Loosen up, girl scout. Whatever way you end up swinging, I'm sure a pretty little badass like you won't stay single long.

[comingforthem]

'Pretty little badass'? Really, Jack?

[willdestroyyou]

Hey, I'm trying. This inspirational pep talk crap is supposed to be your routine.

[trustycrowbar]

Just being single isn't an option?

[He sounds sympathetic, and rubs a hand over his face.]

...I sweartagawd, dealing with these muns and their intent on pairing us up is like dealing with a totalitarian version of OkCupid.

[comingforthem]

It's an option. Just comes with the title tacked onto it, apparently.

[A snort]Sounds about right. I take it you're having a similar problem?

[trustycrowbar]

A title?

...Not exactly the same. My mun's a little too quick to pair me up, though. Not that I'm, uh, complaining about the options, but I just GOT there.

What's brought this on?
