Reposting "Shepard Explains Halloween To Tali" again because this year I want to find a party and go as Dr. Insano.

***

"You're going to wear that to a party?" Tali asked.

Shepard held up the lab coat in his hands, turned it around to get a look at the back. "Yeah. You know about Halloween, right?"

"That's the holiday where children recieve candy for dressing up like ghosts and monsters, right?" Tali folded her arms. "But you don't like candy. What do you get out of it?"

"Beer. It's an adult party. Just for fun." Shepard slung the lab coat over his shoulder. "Just need goggles and then I'm set. I'm going as a mad scientist."

"Ah."

"What about you? Do you want to come?"

Tali blinked. "What, me? Wear a costume?"

"Sure," Shepard said. "We'll find you something that fits over that."

Tali ran a hand over her arm at the mention of her enviro-suit. "I don't know, Shepard...I'm not sure if I want to draw attention to myself."

"Everyone's going to be wearing a costume. Don't worry about it."

"It's not that." Tali's hand rested on Shepard's shoulder. "I...I don't normally have a problem with people giving me strange looks. I'm used to what the suit brings. But I'm afraid it will be...different if I wear a costume."

"You think you'll look silly." As always, Shepard completely figured out her doubts. "That the costume will point out who you are beyond what you're comfortable with."

"...yes."

"Well, you'll be with me." Shepard plucked a pair of black goggles off the shelf. The lenses were inset with a red spiral pattern that curved towards the center of each. "And if anyone messes with you, they'll answer to me."

"I know."

"Is there anything you'd like to dress up as?"

"Well," Tali said, "I WAS considering going as a princess, but I don't think that will go well with your costume. Maybe a...mad scientist's nurse assistant?"

Shepard slipped the goggles onto his face and smiled. "Let's find you a smock."

It's just sitting there on the table, waiting for Shepard to get his sweaty hands on it.

Tali falls victim to the "alien princess" trope.  Excellent.  Then again, Nurse Tali...

Hey, if people never wanted Shepard to steal credits then why would they make it so easy to get them?

Honestly, half the wall vaults Shepard encounters are unlocked. Who's designing these things? Vader's contractor?

I found 12 000 credits on a merc's corpse once. I'm not complaining.

I'm the hero. Everyone should just throw their money at me, because they know that I'll get it eventually.

Always a danger.  This is why I kept mine to exploring the parts of ME2 that are off-screen.

Except for the Raela stuff.  That was for lulz anyway.

Pretty much this. Right now, all I can focus on is the whole Earthborn past, but I'll get to the Tali bit with the next one, I hope. I enjoy waxing guddamn creative, but writing for something like this is a bit complicated because EVERYONE has their own opinion.

I'm always worried I'll have someone take enough offense to actually threaten to knife my face through the computer screen.

I got the princess idea from some other fic where Tali claims that quarians had knights.  But she needs to be a nurse here - otherwise, my great Dr. Insano reference is incomplete!

[Kira Shepard]

mad scientist's beauiful assistant. I approve.

Well, I was kind of pointing out that she almost falls into the trope anyway, being an Admiral's daughter and all.

Most people will just ignore it if they don't like it.  I'm not sure which result is worse, actually.  Heh.

Edit:  you should link your stuff in your sig.

It is really got to be awkward to explain the origins of that model ship to someone in front of Tali. Since Shepard got it on the day she found her dad's corpse.

A mere minute after finding the corpse, no less.

Makes me envision Tali and Shepard running down that hallway, but with Shepard going right past the body for the model ship. "Screw that guy, I found a goddamn figurine."

Journals

Frederick
J. Shepard loves to write. What he can't convey, or what he wanted to
express, he would jot it down in his private terminal. It was an old
journal, something he has been carrying since he reached his teenage
years growing up in the colony of Mindoir. Within it, records were
stored revolvinig around the events, emotions, and responses he wasn't
keen on sharing. He wasn't fond of holo-journals nor automated recording
as he finds them inconvenient, embarassing, and lacking in freedom.
Thus, whenever spare time was given or after every single mission, he
would open his journal and write.

Ever since the events pass the
Omega 4 relay, Tali has been taking up residence within the Captain's
quarter--much to Shepard's request. Since then, she would caught Shepard
sneaking towardshis terminal at night and sit there speechless, smiling
to himself to whatever caught his attention. She tends to ignore this
for the first two weeks.

Curiosity, of course, got the better of her.

"Shepard,what
are you doing?" It was that one particular night that she decided to
ask the question upon noticing the pattern in his behavior. Startled,
Shepard attempted to quickly shut his journals off but soon finds
himself against the idea--he knows better not to mess with the quarian
engineer. Sighing in defeat, Shepard returns a smile.

"I'm just
looking back through old records, Tali. Want to join?" he invite,
gesturing with his hand towards his companion who lies under the bed
covers. A minute later, she is standing beside him with eyes focused on
the screen before her.

"What is it?"

"Its my journal; I
have a habit of writing things down ever since I was a colonists back in
Mindoir. These were some of the old ones I managed to salvage from the
SR1."

Curiously, she leans closer towards the screen. With her
head now parallel from Shepard's, she began to read the context provided
before her. "Isn't this...?"

"Wrex's family armor?" he smile, turning his attention towards her. "It is."

"Wow, I never thought you're the type who would keep such records..." 

"I
do so once in awhile. I'm not all gung-ho, shoot things up and leave it
to die all the time, you know!" He left a dry chuckle. "Want me to read
an entry?"

"Please."

"Entry number 286, Armstrong Nebula..."

---

Minutes
after minutes pass as Shepard began reading every entry he has written
in his journey. They were stories, echoes of a fairy tale that sounds
true. Garrus and the 'mad doctor', the Krogan armor, John and the giant
plant-thing (a title she finds humorous), and of course 'the gift', a
story about her pligrimage and the Geth data he presented to her. Then
there were stories of Saren, memories of Vermire, Ilos, and the final
flight of the Normandy SR1 before the entry cuts off to two years later.

The
recent entries were all but past memories for her, enveloped with
deeper emotions and liberty than what was written circling the SR1. Here
she listens as he read entries spanning  from Freedom's Progress and
their first reunion, Archangel, the scientist,
prison ship
Purgatory, an old friend in Tuchanka, stories from Illium, Sidonis,
Haestrom and her rescue; even her trial! But then he stops.

---

The
next few pages of the entry is a blank slate, clean from any letters or
words that accompanied the two of them for the pass hour. Puzzled, she
ask his permission to search through the contents in hopes of finding
hidden entries carefully concealed using unknown programs. She found
none, much to her dismay, and figures to ask the man responsible
instead.

"Shepard, how come the entries were left empty after the
trial?" she ask, dropping a questioning look towards him from behind
her visor. "If you have something you wanted to hide from me, I'll find
it eventually."

A chuckle left Shepard's lips. "You can try
looking for it as much as you want, but you will find nothing. That's
where my story ends, Tali."

"But why!? Your story doesn't end there, and there are still things left to be written!"

sighing
with laughter, Shepard took his arm and pulls her closer by the waist,
startling her, but is a welcomed gesture nonetheless. Then, he points to
his journal. "Tali, read the date of the last entry."

She does so, producing a grin in his face. "Now, remember what we talked about that day?"

"It
was about me being sick, the immune system and...and..." she pause, her
face burns as she remembers the conversation, the emotion, and the mood
that surrounds it. "Oh..."

Shepard smiles softly, tapping her shoulder for her attention. "The entries I've read are stories about me, Tali. The reason I stopped writing is not because I don't want to, but because I couldn't."

He pause, clearing his throat as he builds up confidence before finally giving his answer.

"It's about you; about us." A
smile generates around his face, causing the heart of the young quarian
to race faster and faster. "If you want me to continue, I want to write
it together. The blank slate were ours to fill, and we have a lot to catch up."

Wringing
her hands together, Tali's eyes shifted left and right, both flustered
and greatful to the attention he gave to her. Taking her hands in his,
he asks one more time. "Will you continue our story with me?"

As
the heat rises through her face, and the feel of his hand seeps pass
the her gloves, Tali held her breath and plays with his finger before
finally giving her answer.

"Yes, Shepard. I will."
