Garrus! eyes on the enemy!

Garrus's pretending to be cool, but he wants to calibrate dat ass in front of him, rather than the one in the captain's cabin XP

"Me? I go for asses."



Garrus, with the way you're staring at Mordin there, I'm having a hard time thinking you've never thought of other species in...that way before.

On the other hand, it's Mordin. No-one can resist him.

A bit late to the party, but congrats on getting kudos from BK, Xsause!

On a completely different note, where does Shale say that "Oh, won't somebody just kill somebody" quote that got posted a few pages back? I love that big lump o' grump  

I'm not certain, but I think's it's around when you meet winterfang.

[Andaius20]

Also yesterday, a tiny little minific about John and Jane shepard are sisters and both on the normandy. Johns pounding on the locked door of his sisters room because he can't find Garrus....

more garrus from the Tal ithread!





Still looking for the mini...

Loooool  

"We shall smite the Collectors...with the power of DISCO!!!"

Also, Mordin's speedo strikes again! And I like the "can see the interrupt coming" one, 'tis clever.

@ Collider: Thanks for the info. I didn't bring Shale on that quest my first time through, so that's why it looked unfamiliar.

@ Alexine: If the bars on the Citadel and Illium are anything to go by (Matriarch Aethyta pointing out which nuts are safe to eat), I'd say that there's a good chance that most restaurants cater for both DNA types. So no one would have to get sick.

...also I just realized that putting "which nuts are safe to eat" and "Matriarch Aethyta" in the same sentence might not have been the best of ideas.

Here's a literal translation of a Tocharian love poem (date unknown, but the Tocharians are believed to have been extinct by the 9th century).  It's the piece that got me asking about turians and poetry two pages back.  Yes, the literal translation can be painful to read in spots, but I guess that's better than translating it haphazardly to make it look 'pretty'.  Thus far, it's the only known piece of secular 'literature' by the Tocharians (who lived in and around the Tarim basin of western China), which might be another parallel to turians (I'll explain that reasoning below).  I could also type it in phoenetic Tocharian for a comparison, but that might make your eyes bleed:


There has never been any person dearer to me than you and there will never be any dearer
The love for you, the delight in you is breath together with life.
Thus I used to think:  with a single beloved will I live well lifelong without deceit, without pretence.
The god Karman alone knew this my thought.
Therefore, he caused dissension and tore from me 
the heart that belongs to you.
He led you away, seperated me and had me partake of all sorrows.
The joy I had in you he took away from me.
-Tocharian love poem 

We know that the turians don't have laws against stuff like drug use, but with their general love of military service, duty and everything that goes with it, what do you think happens when a turian kid decides he wants to be a fiction writer or an actor? Do their families roll their eyes and tell them to find a "real" job, threaten to disown them, or just let them have a go at it (figuring that turian society would likely prefer reading military biographies than stories with unicorns or some such in them, so they'd go broke and have to do something else anyway)?

This also makes me wonder about pro turian athletes (there was a CDN post several months ago about how the top MMA fighters on Earth were usually turians all of a sudden).  Most turians probably think it's pretty cool to beat humans at their own game, but the seriously anti-human segment of the population is probably having fits....

I think pornstar moustache Garrus wants in on the action







I think the moustache makes him more badass than ever.

[Andaius20]

I just want a universe where Male and Femshep coexist, the hilarity would shift planetary orbit patterns.



Sheploo and Femshep are siblings (TWINS! /images/forum/emoticons/w00t.png) and have to share the captains quarters with bunk beds.



Sheploo knocks on the cabin door: "Hey sis? I got a mission that looks like fun and I wanna take Garrus but he's not at the main battery."



Femshep: "I don't know, Mark. Leave."



Sheploo: "Is he in there? What're you two doing?"



Femshep: "He's busy. Take Grunt, Jack, ANYBODY!"



Sheploo: "Aww cmon, Garrus is my friend, too! You can't hog him all to yourself. What's going on?"



Garrus: "I'm tearing a ligament with your sister, Shepard."

Sheploo: "What does... oh my go-/images/forum/emoticons/sick.png *runs for the elevator*

Sheploo: "Well now I figured out why Garrus never has time to talk to me."



Tali: "You mean how he's always calibrating his weapons?"



Sheploo: "More like he's CALIBRATING MY SISTER!" *storms off to yell at Grunt*



Tali: O.o

I really have no idea. I'd say they react like most parents.

On a different note, that was yesterday's CDN: 

Many Citizens have returned to life as usual on Belan, but refugee camps are still filled to capacity by those left homeless by the Kingu comet. The Salarian Union has received much praise for their relief efforts, but Belanese government officials claim aid from the Turian Hierarchy has dropped sharply since fighting started on Taetrus. A Hierarchy spokesperson responded, "Our people have never set Belan aside. While some of our efforts shifted to Vallum after its attack, and needed to remain there in case of further attack, assisting in the rebuilding of Belan always was, and remains a priority for Palaven."

I think poetry isn't too far a stretch for turians. I mean, they obviously have a great love of language as they all seem to quote 'earth sayings' at you at whatever chance they get. If they are so interested to learn another culture's (and a culture they dislike at that) idioms, sayings and metaphors, then they must be pretty dedicated.

Even some of the codex entries mention turian sayings (like Invictus I think, correct me if I'm wrong). It's no giant step for a culture with such an interest in metaphors to also be interested in poetry.

You have to post this in the Fleet thread. We do this type of thing alot.  that original start was from "Tali: what do you call these things?" to "Garrus: I told you so..." then another person added to it until it got to that whole bit. I don't see that over here.
