Mass Effect RP 3

"You worked with the Blue Suns?"

Jordan was quiet for a few seconds. "They aren't usually known for having quarians in their ranks..."

"Get your facts straight, Jordan." Kardan spoke, ordering another of the cider martini. "Do I look like I'm wearing an opaque blue helmet?"

He's more drunk than I thought he was.

Dru hailed a skycab as he continued his conversation. "Sorry, I did my best to save the beer, but it was too far gone. By the way," he said with a mischievous grin, "How much would you be willing to bet on a race back to the ship?"

The skycab door opened. He climbed inside and gave his destination.

Moving one arm to the other to activate his omni-tool, Joe responded "I'll feel bad taking your money, but if you want to, then I guess I'd wa-". His head impacting against what he guessed was a wall sent him sprawling onto the ground. Lying on his back, and looking up, he continued "Uhh... maybe not." After a bit, he propped himself up and walked.

"Damn. So close," Dru said as the cab took off.

"Well, obviously I know you're not in the Blue Suns now, but... still, they aren't really notable for accepting quarians into their ranks." He thought for about ten or fifteen seconds. "I... can see how that would confuse you. I think."

"As far as I can tell, I'm not wearing an env suit." Kardan pulled his sunglasses off momentarily to make his point. The light show around him hurt his eyes.

"You might be confusing me with Dru. He just left with Joe."

Jordan stared for a second. There was a small thunk as head met table.

"Mother of fuck I am drunk."

"That might be our cue to get out of here." Kardan stood up. "Need help?"

Jordan stood up, and surprisingly, was able to keep balance.

"Yeah. I'm good."

"Coming with us, Jake?"

Jake heaved the last glass of whisky, nodded and said "Sure." before rising up, all in all he hadn't actually not drunk that much, a beer, a glass of asari wine and finishing with the aforementioned glass of whisky

"Where's Deimos and the Doc?" Kardan inquired as the three of them exited the lounge.

As Dru's cab cruised along his Omnitool started buzzing. Another response from Joe? No, this was from someone else, and it was text, not voice. He opened it.

Hey, Dru

I guess it's been a while, hasn't it? I heard you were on your Pilgrimage now, and I wanted to talk to you. If you get a chance, you should stop by to see me on Noveria.

Dru was surprised to feel a tear fall from his eye. He was smiling. Wow, it has been a while, hasn't it? Noveria, though? That's in Alliance space. I'm going to have to talk to the captain.

Some time later his cab landed at the docking port. He could spot the Hammurabi a short distance away, and he was sure Joe and Amy were somewhere nearby.

"Hey Joe, you here yet?" he asked into his Omnitool.

"I thought I was," replied Joe, "But unless you're an old Chinese woman... or an asari... or volus... or another volus... I think I've got the wrong one... ones. I know it'll be the next one, though."

There he is. Dru waved at his tipsy co-worker.

"Over here," he called.

In a moment, Kardan caught sight of the turian doctor, who was standing at a roulette table.

"Hey Doc, we're off. See you on the ship later if you're still staying for a bit." He opened his omnitool. "Deimos, where in the name of the Pillars have you gone?"

He always got chattier with a few drinks in him.

Deimos's omnitool started glowing orange, and he looked to see who the message was from. He started typing a reply.

I'm down at Warmaiden's with Syven and Scent. We should be back to the ship shortly.

"Almost forgot we came here to eat," Deimos replied to Syven as he signaled for the waitress.

"I'll order whatever you order." Syven nodded at Deimos. "Scent, what would you like to eat?"

"Warmaiden's?"

Kardan pulled up an Extranet search. A primarily asari-run restaurant, it said. The rest of the details swam past his eyes without being entered into his memory.

"Shouldn't have drank on an empty stomach. Either of you hungry? We should grab a bite from someplace on the way."

Jordan shrugged. "Not against a quick snack on the way back."

"Know any good places? I haven't been here in a while."

Jordan thought for a few moments.

"I'm drunk. Can we... ya know, not make me thinkinate?"

"Fine. I'll ask someone not inebriated. Doc!" Kardan practically shouted at Marik.

Jordan let out a quite and polite "Thank you."

Attia took another sip of her drink. The blue liquid felt comfortably tingly as it went down her throat, the soothing touch delicious to her body. Nectar of the Goddess, indeed.

A pity it had no alcohol in it. Asari non-alcoholic wine was a new concept, borrowed (like so much in Warmaidens) from humans. Still, whoever had brewed it had done a good job keeping the flavor the same as it's alcoholic sister. She would have to look that up some time, when she had an hour to spare and an extranet connection.

It seemed that they would be eating for a little bit, so Attia decided to have something light. "I'll have the Lumenai half special, and another one of these" She said, waving the half empty glass.
