No new age, no destruction, no Turians or Reapers

[justliketheolddays]

I told you the Reapers weren't coming, and the Turians aren't, either.  Don't even get started on the Asari.  Besides, I'm pretty sure you ought to be putting those dishes away and packing for that trip.  

It's not like you're going to Noveria and driving the distance in the Mako.  Winter Storm Draco has nothing on that hellhole.  Suck it up and put on your big girl panties.

You'd think people would learn by now, but noooooooo, they just keep getting stupider by the moment.

Splendid sight, isn't it?

[justliketheolddays]

I dunno, it's kinda fun watching half the population get themselves turned around for shit that isn't going down for awhile. So much for evolution.

[risingshepard]

My thoughts exactly.

We've got the extranet, connections with big information networks, what have you, and no one ever bothers to check for the facts by making use of any of it. It's like the further up we get, the more everyone's grey matter dies out.

...Though I'll admit, this whole thing had me in stitches for a few seconds.

[justliketheolddays]

Yeah, same for me. It was funny for awhile, then it's just dumb. I gotta get this dumbass writer of mine to chug some coffee. Shit's not over yet for her.

I'm kinda tempted to smack her upside the head if she tacks on another yet to someone's "HURRR WORLD'S NOT DESTROYED~" statement.

Reapers are Reapers though. Gotta think for a second, just how close a Universe like this could come, though. Then? Then all the fun goes out like a shitty birthday candle.

[risingshepard]

Or like waking up in the hands of a terrorist organization and being forced to collaborate. Don't think anyone can top that.

...how the hell did I underline? I must need that coffee hella fierce. :c

[justliketheolddays]

Nah, can't top that at all. That was. [She frowns, searching for some phrase before shaking her head.] I don't even know the depth of how screwed up that was. I've been through some hell, sure, but not like that.

Yeah, you might want to chug some already... 8|;;;

I'm pretty sure nothing can sum up being stuck with the Illusive Man for the better part of a year.

If there was, I'd really love to hear it.

My flight confirmation code starts with N7. My seat is 8D. Fuck you, Harbinger. Fuck you.

[justliketheolddays]

I got nothing, besides the urge to go a few rounds with Wrex in a sparring match.

[poetrysoldier]

Shepard.

My mun is very amused by that name for some odd reason. I've given up trying to figure him out by now.

[justliketheolddays]

Ash, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the mundane mind is probably the last thing you want to even contemplate understanding. It's right up there with why the Reapers are giant metal assholes.

Mine thought it was a pretty hilarious name, too.

[thisunit]

...data error, Shepard-Commander. This unit does not possess "big girl panties". Requesting new directions.

[justliketheolddays]

[slowly facepalms] Good thing that directive wasn't for you, then, Legion. And you don't have any britches to hitch, either. [She squints.] I'm not sure I have an non-organic equivalent. I suppose you could get a better shotgun.

[thisunit]

[Twitchy-twitch.] We were unaware our weapon was insufficient. We will attempt to find a suitable replacement.

An inquiry: was a new age imminent?

[justliketheolddays]

[Shepard just shakes her head. Never mind, Legion.] The shotgun's fine. I was trying to think of an inorganic example of [she thinks for a moment] carrying on despite circumstances or...getting up courage, maybe.

[That was better, she hoped.]

Ah. Well, to this batch of humans I guess you could say some thought there would be a new age. Maybe there still is one.

[thisunit]

Courage is irrelevant to inorganics. We do not experience doubt as organics do.

...this is amusing to you. Correct?

[justliketheolddays]

And that's why the turn of phrase so doesn't work for inorganics. [Shepard let out a bark of a laugh and shook her head.]

You'd be correct. It is pretty amusing.
