You continue to disappoint me, mundane. Your high-minded ideas of progress and change were what led to our separation, and simply because you're fond gives you no excuse to simply pull me out for your own amusement.

I'm a busy man, and I have no time for your whims. If you want to do something, then take initiative, rather than simply occupying my time with nonsense. If you had a plan, then perhaps we could speak on this further. Until then, I have more pressing matters to attend to.

It's a terrible feeling, isn't it?

[howillusive]

If they're going to have us sitting around, they should make use of us. I don't like being inconvenienced.

[harriedosborn]

What kind of use, though? Sometimes I think the alternative is better.

[howillusive]

For some, perhaps. I've found that advantages can be found from even a dire circumstance, but I don't like being inactive.

[harriedosborn]

I don't either, mostly. It gives you too much time to think.

[redshirting]

Death does keep us busy.

[That sure is sarcasm.]

[howillusive]

[ Oh he looks so happy to be talking to a Turian. Gross. ]

I'm curious, what sort of afterlife did you find? I can't imagine it's more interesting than mine.

[redshirting]

That depends on your definition of interesting. I'm sure being trapped in an abandoned city hardly sounds lucrative to such a... "busy" man.

[howillusive]

I'm not particularly interested in an abandoned city, you would be correct.

[redshirting]

It's our loss, I'm sure. Though I'm curious–what else do you have to do? You've made it clear you're preoccupied with something else. What would that be?

[uranass]

You seriously need to relax a little.

[howillusive]

I could, but that's not going to change anything, is it?

[uranass]

You'd be less stressed out.

Or you could bribe them.

[howillusive]

Unfortunately, she doesn't seem susceptible to bribes. I have plenty to give, but not what she wants.

[uranass]

Blackmail?

Well, good to know the lectures aren't just reserved for Shep, I guess. Looks like all the high talk about sharing with mankind had some truth to it.

[howillusive]

Of course it did. We deserve everything and more that I can achieve for us in the galaxy.

[herewegoto]

Hey, I always admire confidence. Too bad those achievements are a little more limited than you'd think.

Don't take it too hard. Humanity only gets the one savior every couple centuries. The position just filled up a little before you were set for center stage.

[howillusive]

The one you're thinking of was a bit too disappointing.

[herewegoto]

Hm, guess I'll plead depends on the perspective. And remember: history is written by the victors. Or at least the ones who remember them fondly.

[Urge to punch rising...!]

Illusive Man.

[howillusive]

Shepard. [ cursory tapping of a cigarette goes here ] I expected you to storm in eventually.

brb, spazzing out in glee because eeeee it's TIM

[thegreyhound]

[Yes, yes, she knows how this little dance goes. Shepard crosses her arms and leans slightly to the left.] You always were one verbal son-of-a-bitch, you know that?

C8 There needs to be more of him around tbh

[howillusive]

And you always solved problems with your guns and your, [ A pause, ] supposedly sharp wit.

Yes there definitely does! He is magnificent.

[thegreyhound]

Who brokered peace between the quarians and the geth here, you or me? [Answer: it ain't you, Jack.] The galaxy is safe. And you? You're just one more monster in the history books.
