@kenasakis​ said: “there are bigger things happening here than me and you.” / garrus!

Garrus sighs. Of course, the entire galaxy is a mess right now. The Reapers will come. That’s obvious. Shepard’s team managed to destroy the Collectors, but they haven’t dealed with the Reapers yet. After the fight with Saren, they knew it would come eventually. And now, the Reapers can come at any moment. They need to be ready, but how ?

“Yep. That’s why Shepard will probably need your help when time comes.” She’ll need every of her former allies. All of them.

AS SAID BY GARRUS VAKARIAN, updated version  *  assorted dialogue from the mass effect trilogy, adjust as necessary

i can't find any hard evidence.

good luck, [name]. maybe they'll listen to you.

i'm coming with you.

sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work.

i just couldn't take it anymore.

maybe i can get the job done my way for a change.

if you're wrong, we'll pay for it. but if you're right, and we did nothing, i think we'd regret it a whole lot more.

i thought you were dead.

it sure is good to see a friendly face.

at least it's not hard to find criminals here. all i have to do is point my gun and shoot.

my feelings got in the way of my better judgement.

i'll make you a deal. you get me out of here alive, and i'll tell you the whole damn thing.

nobody would give me a mirror. how bad is it?

don't make me laugh, damn it.

some women find facial scars attractive.

i'm fit for duty whenever you need me.

when i got to the meeting point, no one was there.

kill you? no. but i don't mind slowing you down a little.

what do you want from me, [name]?

i know you want to talk about this... but i don't. not yet.

it's so much easier to see the world in black and white. gray... i don't know what to do with gray.

my instincts are what got me into this mess.

never knew you had a weakness for men with scars.

well, why the hell not? there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you.

if we can figure out a way to make it work, then... yeah. definitely.

you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed-up galaxy.

you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable. nervous, yes... but never uncomfortable.

i brought wine.

your hair looks... good. and your waist is... very supportive.

hopefully that's not offensive in human culture.

i want something to go right. just once.

think you can win this thing, [name]?

i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns... and lots of them.

so... is this the part where we shake hands?

the scars are starting to fade. i remember they drove you wild.

i've been doing some more research on human customs.

glad to know my romantic skills made an impression.

let's not go there.

i can afford the good stuff.

what about you? i'm starting to see some wear and tear.

don't forget to come up for air. and not just because all these people need you. because i need you.

if you're suggesting i'm scared... game on.

still trying to make me blush, huh?

i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain... mood.

it seemed like you needed time to... figure us out.

the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.

not saying you don't know how to handle a gun. just saying some of us know how to make it dance.

i've actually seen you dance. no comment.

i know there are other things you're good at.

probably not a lot of air in here. an hour if we're lucky.

so tell me. think a girl would fall for that?

it gets even better when you try it in bed.

you don't lack for places to get lost.

did we break anything last night?

you'll find a way to win. and when this is over, i'll be waiting for you.

if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... meet me at the bar. i'm buying.

forgive the insubordination, but your boyfriend has an order for you.

come back alive. it'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you.

we're in this 'til the end.

we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.

looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.

if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.

oh crap!

guess he didn’t like the food.

looks like we got the jump.

pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.

we won’t get a second chance.

that was me, sorry.

nothing like being stranded.

we’ll do more than that.

just the usual minor flesh wound.

what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?

i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.

stay angry. we’ll need it to get through this.

drinks will be on me.

one of my favorite places to fight!

i’m hard to kill. you should know that.

it’s gonna be bad all over.

for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.

you’ve waited long enough for this day.

just wait ‘til this war is over.

you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.

maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?

how do i not have one of those?

surprise on our side for once. i like it.

brutal, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

Open RP - Garrus Vakarian

"If I find out who started this game, I'm using them for target practice." This is muttered to himself as Garrus removed multiple colored bands from his leg spurs, all the while sneering in his own turian way at the rainbow already hanging from his talons. 

Just as he removed the last one, he heard his door open behind him just before another brightly colored band flew through the air, perfectly securing itself around the protruding appendage and sliding down to the base with a few momentum filled spins. Garrus just sighed, setting the pile of rubber bands onto his worktable with a clack of claws. He didn’t even look to see who had pinged his door just to shoot it, just closed his eyes and mused to himself: "I helped save the galaxy, and this is the thanks I get."

INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM: @virmireisms​

MESSAGE:  "i can’t believe you never told me that."

     “ I ... guess I never thought to bring it up , ” he adds absently , rubbing the back of his neck. His mother had entered the final stages of Corpalis Syndrome right as he joined up with Shepard to fight the Collectors. He knew his family was angry with him ; he didn’t blame them. Garrus hadn’t seen her for over two years while he was on Omega , and had left the burden of caring for her to his father and sister. Sometimes saving the galaxy involved sacrifices ; and when only a handful of people truly understood how dangerous the Collectors were , he couldn’t stand by on the sidelines.

     HE had seen his mother in her final days , but she was far gone by then. Garrus would never forgive himself for it , but he was the one that would carry the guilt ; not Shepard , or anyone else. 

     “ I didn’t want Shepard to feel like he was forcing me away from my mother ... It was my choice to come along. ” His gaze drifts to something distant. “ She was a good woman. You’d like her , I think ... ”.

[thelikesoffinn]

been thinking about it lately and Ascended Astarion = Dead Dove content and I'm not sure that's really understood, even by the writers. when I finally got around to the character I decided to ascend him with, I was SUPREMELY disappointed by the conversations options following it. it seemed like the dialogue choices were trying to push the narrative on my character that they made this choice w/o considering the consequences and they are bound to regret it. the closest I could get to answering his question of "why did u let me go thru w it?" was "I wanted u to be powerful".

but with that character? my accept Bhaal durge? that isn't the reasoning. at all. (related: "what do u want as a reward?" "ur body" was the closest answer my character could give. otherwise I'd've answered "murder :))")

for context, this run was born of a conversation w my friend discussing supposed content no one had seen bc "no one's that evil". we thought, what's more evil than killing literally every npc? I failed the conceit of the challenge immediately bc I can't handle senseless animal cruelty in my games. killing children? fine (u need a mod to do this in BG3, but I am thankfully plenty delighted to use mods), killing a neutral animal npc? no can do.

so I started this durge (they are the only character that can come close to "killing" Gale with that first interaction) run with the intention of killing everyone except Shadowheart (only a cleric of Shar can truly kill Aylin) and Astarion (bc I need to smooch him). (and there is a mod for playing an origin character as durge, which would have meant playing as Shadowheart, but I MUST smooch Astarion and I don't tend to do het or female romances, unless I'm forced to (*sighs dreamily* oh, Garrus Vakarian). I'm just not interested in that set of equipment in that way, so may as well just make a durge dude.) somehow something went wonky and Halsin ended up joining us and I was so perplexed I just allowed him to stay. (he's meant to attack if u destroy the grove but free him anyway, but instead he just showed up that night and went straight into his Moonrise spiel. is it bc the wolf Silver never aggro'd me and thus survived???) so I fixed the Shadow Curse all while killing every single humanoid and hostile animal in acts 1 & 2. including Thaniel, which makes Halsin's talks later in act 3 of getting news from Thaniel and the Grove hysterical. idk what I did but I sure as hell broke this poor man.

(on a related note, Halsin will give out to u when u accept Bhaal, but will still give u the "u have exceeding my expectations, also we should bang" in the same conversation. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT IT'S DARKLY FUNNY.)

in the conversation when Astarion is expressing surprise that u let him go thru w it, my durge is just like, yes my motivation is that I like to kill ppl :))). it's not a sex thing for him (that is separate from the murder!), but he's still fine w the outcome. yes, Astarion looks down on him, but that's fine! he's allowed to be wrong about that, durge doesn't care. so long as Astarion lets him kill ppl he genuinely just does not give a shit.

(I actually had the idea that if Halsin were to ever rediscover his morals and tried to leave he'd ask Astarion to turn him so Halsin would not have a choice. as I said, this durge *does not fucking care*.)

this is probably the only character I will play that would let Astarion ascend bc I enjoy dead dove SOMETIMES, but not always or in large doses, but I get so few dialogue options that convey that in an rp sense! I don't think the writers/devs REALLY took that into consideration, sometimes. like, yeah, there are going to be ppl making fucked up choices but surely no one would go THIS far! for THIS reason! honey, u need to look up the Dead Dove tag on AO3, there are absolutely ppl making choices for those fucked up reasons.

(and I understand the whole "this confirms to Astarion about sex yadda yadda". even if that's not Tav/Durge motivation, that's how ASTARION would *interpret* it.)

(oh yes, and also, don't let Orin abduct Yenna. it doesn't matter whether u find out in camp or the sewers, Grub will not survive. I was devastated. if I'd known, I would have made sure Halsin was available for her, but she won't abduct a party member or someone ur romancing.)

long story short, I want to play a durge that even ascended Astarion finds unsettling. that's the dream.

Hello there, duck!

Your run sounds delightfully evil! I wish I could play one of those, haha, but I'm too soft hearted. My one evil run with my durge Salira was ended before even entering the grove because I felt horrible after getting rid of Gales hand! Seriously, I can barely take killing the squirrel as durge, and I always save Alfira because I feel horrendous otherwise!

(Fun fact, on all five runs I've done Yenna just vanished at some point and grubs was left standing in my camp, which was like...eh?)

And yes, Halsin is always somewhat of an issue, isn't he? He's just running around, causing mayhem in peoples games because he seems slightly bugged out, haha. I had one run, where he wouldn't go to the spot where we save Thaniel because he joined the fight against Marcus at Last Light and somehow got stuck, for some reason. Same run, none of his vocals would play, which was also very interesting. Everybody would make noise when they climbed or got hurt but Halsin was always silent and just there! And in another run the dude really straight up hated me - he was so mean and snappy, I swear to god he wanted my Durge dead - and then he suddenly went: "Hey you're super cool and strong and I just want to gently fuck you beneath the moonlight if you'll let me" and I was like: Say what.

Regarding the dead Dove: I've talked to people of Discord before, and some of them mentioned something similar a couple of times, but personally, I do think the writers actually knew what they were doing here!

Of course, I do agree that it relies heavily on the regret notion and that it somewhat shoehorns you into a certain narrative corner, I noticed that too when I was ascending him for research - I hated doing that, but all for the asks, haha - but I thought it was really fitting for what it is!

The bad ending, that is. I know we all somewhat forget that because of how people view him as a character, but ascension is the bad ending. Even on an evil run, where your character may have considered all options, it is very likely that Tav hasn't accounted for one very important part of being a true vampire.

The obsession.

It's still somewhat mild in the game, though definitely there, but it will only get stronger as time goes on, and it will probably get to the point that the only escape is death. Either his or Tav's. So, in the end, ascension will come with an armload of regret and the writers were making sure we know that.

And, on top of that, even if we let him ascend in a pursuit for power - or in in your durge's special case: murder :) - we still cast spawn Astarion aside because he doesn't fit our needs, thus making it very clear to him that who he is isn't enough and his behaviour is the price we now pay.

It's pretty much the same with all the other companions as well - justiciar Shadowheart and ascended Lae'zel, for example. However, it doesn't bother us as much, because we have different expectations towards ascended Astarion than, for example, dark justiciar Shadowheart. We don't expect a positive narrative here, a narrative where becoming shady-shar's loyal subject isn't an objectively dumb decision to make, so we don't mind the dead dove as much. It's exactly what we've been expecting - and Aylin even warned us how Shadowheart would change upon becoming a dark justiciar - so yepp. This went exactly how we thought it would and this is what we wanted.

Astarion, however, is a somewhat special case, because his bad ending is, by far, the one that gets the most romanticised. He's so heavily romanticised by so many, that the bad parts nearly start to fade, even with those who don't like the ascended ending. It becomes just 'the other ending', if you will.

And yet, it's still the bad ending.

Ascension is the bad ending for a character that we've somewhat given up on. That we misunderstood so deeply, mayhaps, that we traded his entire being for power and, quite frankly, beauty. We showed him that he isn't enough, we let the boy run and hide the only way he knew how and now we're faced with the consequences and yes, it's really dead dove but...what did we expect?

#the 'other ending' syndrome is really strong with astarion #like #I'm constantly reminding myself that yes this is the bad ending lady #don't let the tumblr confuse you #It's baaad #and for those saying “what beauty he doesn't change his face after ascension” - you can't fool me #I know how some of you start drooling once he growls and says 'you're mine' #That's the beauty I'm talking of #also yes the “murder :)” was necessary #anon chose this vibe and who am I not to comply! #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate #baldurs gate #astarion #baldurs gate 3 #the dark urge #bg3 astarion #astarion ancunin #ascended astarion #dead dove do not eat

Tagged by @dingoat♥ A while ago BUT today I have trouble getting to work grading some students so thank you for the procrastination instead xD

3 ships (did the first that came into my mind !)

Siv(my oc)/Archibald(selkys's oc) : Truly The Ship, at the core of the story I'm rp-ing with Selkys. They fought the plot AND tons of shit in-universe to be together. How to sumarize them... ha, picture an evil genius Sith Lord suddenly switching his whole reason of living from revenge to absolute devotion toward his fiery sunshine smol wife and you get and idea !

Hazel(OC)/Sycamore (Pokemon) : Basically started because I wanted to explore a ship with Sycamore and Hazel was my only Pokemon OC at the time - I didn't even knew much about him except I liked his design and vibes immensely. I actually managed to write a deliciously complicated story around them and I really hope to explore more♥

Willow(OC)/Grimsley(Pokemon) : Willow is my pokemas protag and in a game were you basically meet all pokemon trainers, I do have many ships with her and that is originally why she was created, just a character to be indulgent and explore different stuff. But Grimsley is my fav pairing for her because I imagined such a """fun""" (for me 8D) dynamic between them ! Two word : trust issues.

First Ship

I can't really remember my first FIRST ship, but growing up I wasn't too much into romance stories I think. But I do vividly remember my first "holy shit you can do THAT??" when playing Mass Effect 2 for the first time and discovering you could romance Garrus. Thus, my first "active" ship was born (meaning I was actively searching/producing works around it) Guess I was a monsterfucker all along Thank you Bioware for expanding my imagination 🫶

Last Song

At this very moment I'm listening to Wild Child by The Black Keys (love vibing to this band.)

Currently Reading

Just started Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett and I'm delighted to be finally reunited with the idiots of the city watch♥ I waited for MONTHS to get to a proper library that had it...

Last Film

...Not sure ? A silly spy film I forgot the title I think ? ...If I can offer a serie instead, I'm currently watching Lupin the Third part 4 and 5 ! It's funny how every Lupin thing I watch feels like meeting with long time dear friends even tho it's not a universe I've been aware of for that long... is that weird ? xD But given how fanartists for this fandom influenced my artstyle for years before I even saw a single film (yep, do you understand some stuff about it now ? :p) it might be the reason !

Currently Craving

Hum... idk ? ...Maybe another coffee xD But that would not be a good idea and thus I must resist u_u

#tag game #okay now i got to get back to work xD halp haha #did you know evaluating art assigments was FUCKING HARD #>_> #anyway that was fun and sorry for the long ramblings as usual :p

[drelldreams]

I have been thinking about accents in Mass Effect. I concluded that the reason the aliens speak in American/Canadian accents (Wrex, Garrus, Thane, Liara, Mordin— they all sound American/Canadian) is that BioWare is a Canadian company. Therefore, American and Canadian voice actors had been hired to do the alien voices. Had the game been developed in the UK, the aliens would sound British and use British terminology (lift, chips for French fries, biscuits, etc).

In-universe, the aliens should be able to have different accents, depending on your translator settings. If their speech gets translated into English, you should be able to pick between American English, British English, Australian English, South African English, etc. I see absolutely no reason why alien speech should be translated into American English by default when being translated into English.

So for instance, to an English person, Liara might have an English accent. Whenever she would say the asari word for lift/elevator it would be translated into “lift”, whereas, for an American person, it would be “elevator”.

Fun headcanon: Is it possible some people pick different accents/types of English for different aliens? Like Joker having his translator translate Liara’s speech into Nigerian English, Garrus’ into Scottish English, and Samara's into a a posh RP.

Probably.

we are back at it again, boyos - i know i posted something about this like, two years ago, but times have changed and so have my hyperfixations. : - ) 

hellooo. my name is katie, i’m 21+ yo, i work a fulltime job and i have five cats and a dog with my partner in crime and girlfriend. i do have 12 years of experience in the rp community both on and off tumblr (christ), and while i have tried to find a platform that suits my needs, i have come to the conclusion that tumblr is really the only place to find people like me, so i am opening up a ... roleplay partner call. 

looking for:

someone to write ships/etc. with

someone who is willing to be friends outside of rp!

a buddy to throw hcs and ideas back and forth with all night rather than sleep (last part is kind of a joke but also isn’t 👀)

someone that is okay with/encourages playlists or pinterest boards for ships, characters, etc. and enjoys character development 

putting preferences and fandom specifications under a read more! 

my preferences:

i write in third person and tend to create para/novella style responses. fluent in english. no *action* writing, please.

smut’s cool. i enjoy writing it and do not need to fade to black, so if partners can be 18+, that would be fab.

i prefer to write over discord. willing to give my discord out to people who respond.

i am most comfortable writing canon/canon ships, however i do have a slew of ocs that i would not mind a) creating aus for and b) writing with other ocs or canon characters.

needing someone that is patient with replies - i am mentally ill af and my creative motivation waxes and wanes. i need as much room as possible to make sure that i can write a decent response to any active roleplays, and sometimes i can crank them out in minutes or days. it really just depends. 

things/tropes that i want to write:

give me things like vampires, witches, werewolves - fantasy is HUGE for me right now!

friends to lovers

enemies to lovers

f/f, m/m, f/m !!

platonic love 

doesn’t have to be fandom related, could just be oc/oc!

fandoms:

star wars (BIG HYPERFIXATION RN) - i am a huge prequels fan but i am willing to write pretty much any stage of the saga

characters i am willing to write: anakin skywalker, obi-wan kenobi, satine kryze, padme amidala, leia organa, han solo, poe dameron, myriad of different ocs. others upon request. 

ships: obikin, obitine (!! a big one for me right now!) anidala, obidala, finnpoe, canon/oc. 

dragon age - i have played all three games and am eagerly awaiting the next

characters i am willing to write: anders, solas, cullen rutherford, possibly alistair if i am in a certain mood, myriad of different ocs, others upon request. 

ships: solavellan, anders/hawke (male or female), canon/oc. 

mass effect - i have played the first two games, and i am 3/4s of the way through the 3rd

characters i am willing to write: garrus, thane, kaidan, liara, femshep, maleshep upon request, ocs. 

ships: garrus/shepard, garrus/tali, thane/shepard, kaidan/shepard, liara/shepard.... y’know, any of the companions/shepard tbh. 

fallout - i have played fallout new vegas, 4, and 76.

characters i am willing to write: this one is a bit of a smaller list but hancock is a favorite of mine. ocs are a thing here, too. i can try to write other canon characters upon request. 

ships: available for discussion. 

star trek - i have seen all of the nu!trek movies and most of the original series.

characters i am willing to write: leonard mccoy, montgomery scott, spock, ocs.

Garrus nods. He’s not exactly a good talker, but he’s good at listening. If Val isn’t ready to talk about whatever she has on her mind, though, he just can’t insist. He just can’t force someone to talk; it’s not in his blood. Showing he’s there, though, is important.

“Alright.” He replies calmly. “Just know I’m here if you need anything.”

AS SAID BY GARRUS VAKARIAN

ASSORTED DIALOGUE FROM THE MASS EFFECT TRILOGY

i would’ve never thought of that.

what are you doing?!

they must be destroyed upon contact without exception.

as if we needed more reasons to avoid touching things in here.

why do people always assume we enjoy putting ourselves in harm’s way?

this wasn’t covered in my training manuals.

well, this looks fun.

some women find facial scars attractive.

they were all ignoring you and hitting on me. ‘bout time you got a fair shot.

why don’t we ever go anywhere nice?

it’s your call.

we shouldn’t be fighting. we have to work together.

that’s pretty... extreme.

there’s no pep talk like a military pep talk.

and here i thought i had my betrayal and attempted murder for this year...

now’s not the best time to become an optimist.

he’s not going to make it if we don’t help him.

we can disobey suicidal orders? why wasn’t i told?

he hasn’t reported your disappearance.

this guy couldn’t tie his bootlaces, let alone fight.

half of us don’t even trust you.

one less to worry about!

over the years i’ve grown used to the smell of dead bodies.

that’s probably a bad sign.

i love what they’ve done with the place.

just like old times.

whatever they’re after, i hope it’s worth it.

i’m hard to kill. you should know that.

it’s gonna be bad all over.

for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.

you’ve waited long enough for this day.

just wait ‘til this war is over.

you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.

maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?

how do i not have one of those?

surprise on our side for once. i like it.

brutal, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

it’s all just... expected.

i know we’ve beaten the odds before.

staying out of trouble, i see.

you were wondering too, weren’t you?

see any action?

there’s too much at stake here.

next time, leave instructions.

it’s starting to feel like we’re missing something.

they’re taking it pretty well, don’t you think?

bad vibe to these guys. i don’t think we want to push it.

never do that again.

i’d say you managed.

excuse me, i couldn’t help but notice your sidearm.

can you tell me where the bartender hides the hard stuff?

now they’re just fighting dirty!

well, that went well.

pretty stark. you okay?

you’re real. a little crazy, maybe, but real.

he really had you boxed in.

you did what you had to, and i was there with you.

come back alive. it’d be an awfully empty galaxy without you.

you can’t do this solo.

you always were the best shot.

i love you, too.

listen. we have to go.

we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.

looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.

if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.

oh crap!

guess he didn’t like the food.

looks like we got the jump.

pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.

we won’t get a second chance.

that was me, sorry.

nothing like being stranded.

we’ll do more than that.

just the usual minor flesh wound.

what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?

i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.

things i have been doing on my legendary edition playthrough:

when possible, making choices that roleplay irina as close to a real-life military officer as i can. that means picking a lot of middle dialogue options to remain terse and businesslike, as opposed to going all-in on the top ones to max out paragon points. it means refusing some quests that'd require her to break the law, even if i miss out on money or experience. it means being suspicious of the spectres' power. it doesn't always make me feel like i'm winning hearts and minds, but that's accurate to her character.

this has had some interesting results. if you play khalisah's interview really straight and refuse to divulge anything about the normandy's activities, hackett praises you for protecting the mission's confidentiality. it's a shot of realism in a game that tends toward "screw the rules, i'm the hero." i also notice that i'm still racking up paragon points anyway, so i'm not being punished for it in the way i thought i might be.

i hate to say it, but i think the funniest way it played out was when i chose the dialogue option that blocks kaidan's ninjamance. i've been following a guide to avoid ninjamancing this time around, and the response of "i'm sure your letters home are nice, but keep it out of the CIC" was one of the most in-character irina lines the series has ever thrown at me. 10/10 literally laughed out loud, poor kaidan, it's not his fault, he's doing his best

keeping track of how the player acquires side missions, esp. the alternate methods when you can't, say, pass a skill check. i have to learn this stuff for work now, so this is kind of doing research. so far, it seems like you're rarely truly locked out of anything until you cross an obvious line into the endgame, which is good.

taking a wider variety of squadmates on missions. apart from achievement hunting, the normandy is an ensemble cast, and talking to other fans with other faves over the years made me feel like i should get to know everyone better. i'm trying to apply the character-RP principle here too: while irina doesn't trust her non-military crew to follow protocol at the outset, she eventually comes around to taking tali on geth-heavy assignments, garrus for mysteries, wrex for pirates.

most importantly: color-coordinated armor

Open RP - Garrus Vakarian

"If I find out who started this game, I'm using them for target practice." This is muttered to himself as Garrus removed multiple colored bands from his leg spurs, all the while sneering in his own turian way at the rainbow already hanging from his talons. 

Just as he removed the last one, he heard his door open behind him just before another brightly colored band flew through the air, perfectly securing itself around the protruding appendage and sliding down to the base with a few momentum filled spins. Garrus just sighed, setting the pile of rubber bands onto his worktable with a clack of claws. He didn’t even look to see who had pinged his door just to shoot it, just closed his eyes and mused to himself: "I helped save the galaxy, and this is the thanks I get."
