fifth mission \ action/video \ planetside
[ So lately, Shepard's been cleaning house. Cleaning up where she's living, cleaning up an area for her established plan of 'recreational area for smaller scaled citizens (i.e. a place to hit things) as well as trying to clear her mind. Cardboard lfoors lined the area she deemed her new sparring room, not AS soft as plush matting, but it would do. Her guns? Shiny and clean, even the tar buildup in the mouth of her heavy pistol has been scraped and polished clean.
But when her armory is cleaner than a first year cadet's, and the area is as prepped as you can get it without equipment, Shepard has nothing left but her mind. And a mind is a horrible place to be stuck in. She's anxious, restless, and the thought of having some of her crew here was endearing, comforting, at first. But now, it began to grate on her nerves; the fact that her own were stuck here with her, and the mission wasn't done.
Being planetside has finally, really taken it's toll on her. ]
There's only so much ammo I can waste before I really run out.
[ She's popped up on the feed, her hair now long enough to keep in a side ponytail. Per usual, she looks exasperated. The only thing close to keeping her looking similar to a pile of varren crap is the new necklace she seems to be sporting, above her dog tags; an illuminated crystal, with a cord wrapped around it to keep it secure. ]
Cardboard floors laid down where the recreational area might stay. Still have to talk to some friends in other places about a shooting range. If anyone would like to shoot some ideas at me for this thing, that'd be great. I'm drawing a blank.
...If anyone has any ideas on how to keep a planetside space marine from tearing her hair out? Those would be great too.

[Please say yes. He'd love to be helpful right about now.]

I'm not against the idea of ammo-independence, but I am against learning a whole new skillset in a place like this.
[ She physically deflates. ]
Then again, just what the hell else am I doing.

[He's not trying to be insulting, just genuinely curious.]
I could teach you -- I'm showing Kay how. And... and now that Shadowmaru is here... he can help, as well.

[ She comprehends. After all, it is Kagerou. ]
Who?
video;
[WOW that sure is a smile on his face.]
Shadowmaru. The one... I've been missing. My friend.
video;
[ That smile's infectious! ]
Good. That's good, I'm glad to hear it. Well, you know. Beyond being stuck here.
It makes it easier.
video;
[Mom mom mom mom lemme help.]
It really does.
It's... everything is brighter now.

[ TRICK QUESTION ]
Alright. If anything it'll give something new to tinker at.
[ But sheesh look at that smile awww her little man is all happy now ]
Yeah? Pretty sure I know that feeling, pretty well in fact.
That's one of the best feelings, don't let anything spoil it.
video;
[He nods, still smiling.]
I'll find you something to start with. Okay?
[He's practically vibrating where he's standing, wow he's happy.]
You do? That's good!
video;
Sounds good.
Yeah, well. You need it more than I do. Don't let me impose either, or I'll have to learn to shoot just to get one on you.

Sometimes you need someone who's just like you to remember to ground you. They remind you that you're still a person, not a tool to someone else. Well----mine does. And that's something I think you need.
...If that makes any sense.

video;
Teach me to shoot whatever it is you're planning to teach me to shoot with, and I'll tell you the story. Fair trade?
video;
But all right.
video;
Oh boy. Will I need gloves?
video;
No. You won't.
