*Garrus'
dad enters for no particular reason.*

Vakarian Sr.: Garrus, I -
Wait, what are you doing under that waterfall? And what are you doing
half-naked with a human Spectre!? I thought I raised you better than
that!

Garrus: Dad, I -

Vakarian Sr: Son, I am disappoint.

Why's the thread so sparse tonight. This stuff is gold!

Oh... Saturday night. Lives. I gotcha.

Mission to Kahje. Small drell child has fallen into the water.

Shepard: Oh no! That adoreable child has fallen into the water! Whatever will we do?
Garrus: Everyone stand back.
*takes off armour*
Don't want to get this wet. OK. Stand back.

cue slow motion running towards the beach, Baywatch theme playing, as Shepard, Miranda, and Kelly look on, transfixed. Garrus dives into the water, and swims for the child. He gathers her up in his arms.
Kelly: You weren't kidding about that reach.

Garrus swims for the shore, and emereges from the foam. He shakes his head, sending beads of water in all directions. He walks over to the women. Slow mo stops.

Garrus: I think she's going to be OK. But we need to get her to a medi-bay. Can you help - Commander? Shepard? Guys?

Shepard/Miranda/Kelly: Mmmm.

lol. Awww, c'mon. You know you love it really.

I can't really picture Garrus swimming well. He's too thin, and aren't turians pretty dense, with a metallic pseudo-exoskeleton? Whether you see him as avian or feline...neither of those are known for their aquatic stylings.

I need to not read this thread just after eating, now my stomach really really hurts from laughing so hard. Owwwwwwwwww

Worth it.

Shirtless Garrus under a waterfall.. hmmmmmmm. /sigh

EDIT: Actually, cats, esp BIG cats, are really amazing swimmers. Some of them. Tigers esp LOOOOOVE the water. One of my cats used to jump into the shower with me before I started shutting the door on them. Little twits.

But that fascinating kind of horrible where you can't bring yourself to look away.

@moonboots I dunno. There are some birds which are remarkable swimmers. And (as mentioned) big cats swim pretty well. I can't see Palaven being particuarly aquatic (if it's so hot, etc), but with the right strength and technique, there is no reason Turian's couldn't swim... Plus, it's Garrus. You think he fears water? lol

Also, I was kidding. He needs to stay hydrated.

Again, the density thing is what gets me; the Codex implies that turian plates are metallic, and I've never seen a piece of metal (aside from boats, natch) float. I think Palaven has some water on it; after all, it's the beaches of Virmire that remind him of his home. They could probably stay afloat, but I just can't see turians doing the backstroke.

[kglaser]

Aluminum is not dense. I believe it will float.

Yeah. But there are light metals (aluminum cans float darned well), and displacement of water in relation to density could be affected by technique.

But in any case, it was a skit! lol


Edit: what is up with the quote button tonight?

On a Garrus-related note, has anyone ever come across people who say they like the Garrus romance because it doesn't have any sweeping declarations of love or affection, and thus they think it doesn't have any potential for a long-term relationship?

I saw this somewhere in the thread. Different strokes.

That line of thinking honestly baffles me. For one, I don't understand the mindset of entering into a relationship -- particularly one with a close friend -- that you have no intention of even trying to make work long-term.

Friends with benefits. It happens sometimes.

And two, I actually can't help but feel kind of sorry for those people if they think that sparkly hearts-and-flowers romantic feelings are a better foundation for a long-term relationship than deep mutual trust and respect.

It's not as if those are mutually exclusive.

Tingly feelings fade over time. Trust and respect stand a much better chance of enduring.

Indeed.

I'm mostly with Collider on this one. There's no doubt that trust and mutual respect are critical to a lasting relationship (or any kind for that matter), but chemistry & romance can be very imporant to certain people when choosing a romantic partner, especially since when relies on attraction. 

(On a side related-topic,) part of the reason why I'm all for Garrus and Shepard is because the writers managed to incorporate excellent chemistry into their interactions. The banter doesn't sound forced, and the manner in which those two characters express their admiration for each other sounds rather entertaining, yet at the same time, heart-warming. It almost felt like Garrus & Shep were kindred-spirits -- for lack of a better term -- of different worlds. IMO, they had something going on that couldn't be accurately defined by the terminology "friendship" or "romance" alone.

Furthermore, I like to think "trust and respect" like the "what's" of a relationship, and tingly feelings, friendship, professional interests or anything else like the "hows" of the relationship. One has to admit though, just because two individuals may share what's necessary to keep their dynamic going, doesn't mean they're the most interesting folks to watch. I'm inclined towards the awkward and cute moments myself, so in the place of heavier-romances, that's what keeps me rooting for Garrus and FemShep.

Funnily enough, there was actually no point in my post where I said tingly romantic feelings are completely worthless in a relationship. Obviously at least some level of romance is nice, even necessary. The point I was trying and apparently failing to make is that if your relationship is based on nothing but fuzzy feelings, you're doomed. Because there's no relationship in the world that's going to leave you feeling fuzzy 100% of the time over years. The honeymoon always ends at some point.

Mostly, though, I was just trying to say how bemused I was by people who actually seem to equate "Garrus and Shepard trust and respect each other" with "Garrus and Shepard don't actually have romantic feelings for each other and thus will never actually have a real relationship." But yeah, never mind.
