[ thanks, human from like a century in the past for making sure that conversation didn't become completely unsalvageable. although on the topic of flying cars... ]
of course there are! it'd be pretty hard to get anywhere in most places just driving around on the ground!
[ although... ]
some humans also try to make vehicles that aren't meant to fly soar through the air.
[ something he has an unfortunate amount of firsthand experience with.

trust me, i've heard way worse things. besides, things weren't exactly looking so good before that Storm hit to begin with. maybe it was for the best?
[ no. it really wasn't. it bothers him a lot but...
...right. the omni-tool. ]
it's a pretty small piece of tech, but it's got a holographic interface that surrounds your hand. thankfully, i've got one one on me. just give me a second.
[ and the feed switches over to video just to let the guy see it in action.

[ HIS FIRST REAL ALIEN...
I mean technically everyone he's met since waking up is an alien if you go by the definition, but most of them are humans or human-seeming enough, and elves are more of a fantasy thing for him? Less sci-fi there. Rocket is a talking raccoon which is just Disney as all heck.
Garrus is the first to actually look like a full-on alien and Rhys winds up gawking when the picture switches on. ]
--Holycrapyou'rereallyanalien!
[ ...That came out faster (and blunter) than he intended. let him try again?? ]
I mean...heeeeey. [ f i n g e r g u n s ] That's some sweet...tech?

[ he's quiet for a moment, as his mandibles flick back and forth. ]
Yeah. I guess there is.
[ look, he might've been better with it than he was half a year or so ago, but gray is still something he has problems with. ]
As to why he did it? He was indoctrinated... It's like some form of mind control. In the end, he was basically a puppet for the Reapers- the real threat back where I came from.
[ although... ]
But even before that, he was still a real asshole.

[At least the people who joined Ganon's side weren't brainwashed, as far as she knew. They were just... Bad people? It seems a little easier when you know they were in full possession of their own minds. Easier, but a little sadder too.]
Are certain people more susceptible to this... indoctrination?

Well... I don't know if I'd say it was the complete opposite. those guys had gone into stasis to try and save their civilization from sentient spaceships bent on destroying all advanced life, only for their systems to fail. Here, it was someone else who saved all of us from a very non-sentient storm.
[ well. huh. ]
Actually, I guess the whole thing really was basically the opposite of this.

If humans haven't gotten out of the Sol System yet where you come from, how'd you manage to meet one?

Well, that would definitely be something new and exciting.
[ which does beg the question... ]
But personally, I think the body would slow things down just a little bit. With a floating head, it could pick right up and zoom around the whole place.

[ Peter, apparently, is not nearly as concerned about the possibility that this was an actual creature that actually existed and actually might pop back to life and, like, eat them.

Let me guess: arguments over colony rights, versus the homeworld's rules? At least, that's always what my people used to fight over before we ran into other species.
[ they still did on occasion but shhh... ]
Unfortunately, it was less of one bitter bastard and more of a whole race of them. The smart ones wanted to work with us, but some of them just couldn't get over the whole genophage thing...
[ yeah, so it was a bit of a big deal. but you know what? so are Reapers. ]

Yeah.. that exactly. [ He almost looks surprised for some reason that he seemed to know what was going on - probably because he's used to people being shocked that he was from space, or something like that, and yet here he is... still kind of shocked that someone gets it. Not in a bad way at least - how could he? In a way it's a relief that someone finally gets it. Well, kind of. He wonders if he'd be as understanding of the resultant terrorism he unleashed on people to make a point about colonies and their freedoms - ]
A whole race of 'em? Yeesh - [ Even thinking about it makes his head hurt. He reaches to scratch at the base of his braid. ]
What's genophage, though? Ya lost me there...
Well, the animal kind is a tiny bird! It's white, or brown, kind of puffy looking...
[ Vague gesture with her hands. ]
And the food type looks different depending on how it's prepared. Though, I guess you might not be familiar with the cooking techniques from where chickens come from if you don't even know what they are...

[ hey man, it's cool. he can totally relate. one minute you're relaxing, and then... out comes a deadly whatever that was, determined to eat you. ]
It looks like we've got a few options. You could try and take a shot right now, before it surfaces, wait until it attacks us and then take the shot, or I could use my... paddling [ ? ] skills and try to row us out of here, and risk accidentally hitting it.
Either way, something tells me we're still going to end up with a hungry and pissed off... whatever that is. So it's your call.

[ lance makes a low, considering sound in the back of his throat. he's clearly thinking it over, keeping his eyes on the shadow moving almost lazily beneath them. they haven't moved since it appeared, and he has a sinking suspicion it's just waiting for them to give it a reason to strike...
that said, lance is also hesitant to take the first blood himself. he never tries to pull his trigger unless he has to, and as far as he knows, they're in the wrong here, encroaching on this creature's territory. maybe even it's home.
but, at the end of the day, if it has to be between them or it...

Let's just hope that's the head.

[ but before he has a chance to finish, there comes a sea serpent, about to lunge at him, mouth wide open. well... this was definitely one way to be welcomed. thankfully, he's managed to grab the big stick, and is proceeding to shove it right into the thing's mouth, trapping its jaw open. ]

With its an source of attacking rendered moot thanks to Garrus, it makes the rest of the job easy. It's a bit of a chase, the water beneath the boat making it sway ominously. Her trident pierces through it and she watches with a tinge of regret as it thrashes about and bleeds out.
She surfaces moments later and hauls the trident--serpent an all--back onto the boat before climbing up herself.]
You are uninjured? I have no doubt there may be ore of these things around, so we should make haste.

Are you sure? Because back home, the only thing I ever heard about chicken was that everything in the galaxy tasted like it. And, it was occasionally something humans called someone when they were just trying not to abjectly humiliate them and crush their remaining sense of dignity.

Ah, yes. Calling someone "chicken" as an insult. I've always found it juvenile, myself.
But to claim everything in the galaxy tastes of chicken sounds silly. Though granted, this world is the first I've visited outside of my home. I don't have much experience with other food in the galaxy.

But it's fine. When the death writhing stops and the serpent falls back into the water, it produces a wave that attempts to wash away most of it. The boat, mercifully, stays upright, but whether that's better or worse than being covered in serpent gore, soaking wet, and sitting in a boat now full of displaced river life, some of which seem to be very drawn to the blood and viscera, remains to be seen.
Rocket, caked in blood, soaked to the bone and currently boasting some sort of crab-like creature latched onto his tail, looks less than enthused about these circumstances. He huffs once and the,n with a slow nod of acceptance, declares:]
Whatever. Still badass.

They have every other size. And they are all-powerful alien gods or whatever. Seems weird if they didn't, you know? If they have raccoon size they've gotta have Turian.

[ don't dig yourself a hole, Garrus. ]
I'll take a wild guess and say your species has been around the galaxy a little longer than the humans? So far, that's almost always how it seems to go. Hopefully you didn't run into them the same way my species did.

[ for his part, Garrus is still intrigued by the sweater. it's not every day that you get to find yourself dressed in one of the ugliest patterns known to man. ]
Well, you never know. Some humans like to do some pretty extreme body modifications. I knew this one who was covered in tattoos. Just looking at her almost gave me a headache.
[ don't dig yourself a hole, Garrus. ]

That's just what I like to hear.
[ and as the music starts, he's actually pretty impressive, starting off with just the basic steps and nothing that's really all that fancy. ]
Having fun so far, tonight?
[ he definitely is. everyone's been so game to dance, that it's given him plenty of time to test out his best moves. ]

[ dutch likes dancing and she's good at it, too, following easily when he starts them off with the basic steps. she hasn't promised too much when she said she could follow, but it's good to see that he can actually lead, too.
(dutch doesn't usually give up the lead for anyone or anything, but dancing's different.) ]
Yeah. Bit of bubbly, some music, what more could a girl ask for?
[ y'know, other than: for her world not to be destroyed, for humanity to be saved already, for aneela not to exist - dutch can think of a few things. ]

[ you know, a small part of him is saying "this probably isn't right", but you know what? who really cares? it's about fun more than anything, isn't it? isn't that what the holidays are all about?
...not that he'd know. again. not a human.
he lets the cookie sit on his tongue, before turning back to his new... friend? ]
Not bad. [ he says with a mouth half-full. ] Maybe a little dry, but not bad.
[ this wasn't traditional turian food. as humans might say, sue him. ]

This isn't the best cookie I've ever had. But it's certainly not the worst.
[ what qualifies as a good cookie to a Wolfskin, who is also definitely not human? and tbh he'd probably eat a lawyer. probably wouldn't taste as good as the cookie though. ]
I think one of the princesses back home ate one with milk. I can't be too sure. They were too busy shoo-ing me away from the food because I didn't wash my hands.
[ which his are currently gloved. ]
Hey, uh. I gotta ask.
[ and he chews nervously, a crumb or two spilling out. ]
Are you some kind of... dragon?
