ITT: We are our avatars.

Fiorello: It is you! Oh, it is so good to see you again!

-Pulls the dignified soldier into a big ol' manly hug-

Jim: -Hugs Fio and takes his helmet off, showing that it is indeed Jim-

Hrodland: Hah, really?

-hey, Jim-

-have you ever seen Shepard smile before?-

-she looks positively ecstatic-

Shepard: Nice work out there. I knew you had it in you.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Jim: Thanks. Your advice helped a lot.

Shepard: -attempts aggressive handshake-

-she's proud as fuck-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Fiorello: It seems it did. It seems you are finally standing alongside the giants instead of on their shoulders now.

Asagi: Yes.

Jim: -Handshakes, grinning-

-To Fio- It really hasn't sunk in yet. I just got my stripes Thursday.

Shepard: Good luck out there, Jim. I'd tell you how much of a fucked state the Reapers left the galaxy in, but you already know.

And if you meet the Normandy, tell 'em I said hi.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Hrodland: How's it coming along, then?

Jim: Will do, ma'am. And I'll be commuting. Officially, I'm part of 7th Exploration Recon, but the brass likes the idea of someone in the multiverse.

Shepard: Besides me, of course.

Makes enough sense. Might even be bringing in multiversal assistance to fix the galaxy. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Jim: Yeah, they're unloading my "regular" armor and personal effects now, then back to the Cairo.

Leaving me with you people.

Shepard: Well, you've been with us before. You know how it is.

But you've got a kickass suit of legitimate power armor now.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Fiorello: You almost sound like you regret that.

Jim: Man, no kidding. My old marine armor feels like tissue paper now.

Asagi: Halfway done.

Fiorello: So, your commute was pleasant, I hope?

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)

Jim: Yeah, it was.

How's my kid been?

Hrodland: When are we going to see it, then?

Fiorello: You mean the little one Bethany, si? She's doing very fine from what I know.

---

Asagi: When it's done.

Jim: I've been emailing her alot and she's said she's good. Yeah.

Hrodland: Heh, fair enough...

Fiorello: It is nice to see you continuing to keep in contact with her even throughout your training.

Hrodland: Anyways, how's that thing work?

Jim: Well, she's my daughter.
