ONE: video

[puppydogeyes]

[The video starts out at an odd angle, the device left on the bed as Taylor sorts through the other items she'd found in her locker. She's confused and a little disorientated, but she still starts out with an accusatory tone in her voice, clearly thinking that she is addressing someone specifically.]

Is this another test mission? You should give us briefs, you know, it's not like we ever get a real mission where we just wake up wherever and fumble through it.

[Quiet for a long minute, waiting for a response, checking a gun over to make sure it's all in working order. Still no response, though, and she continues, more anger seeping into her tone.]

Or maybe you're finally trying to get rid of me. [Her expression hardens.] Fuck it, whatever. Guess the worst I can do is survive whatever this is.

[She looks the gun over one more time before holstering it, then starts gathering the rest of the items up; three grenade-like devices that she settles onto the uniform's belt; chewing gum, dog treats, mascara, spare ammo - all go in various pockets. Lastly, she scoops up a dog - a chihuahua, surprisingly calm looking for the strange environment - and rests him on her hip.]

Oh, yeah. And don't ever stick one of my dogs in a fucking locker again.

[She has such a lineface on right now Mouse.]

[habitformed.livejournal.com]

[ He's used to it. His crew back home are a bunch of dicks. ]

[puppydogeyes]

[habitformed.livejournal.com]

[puppydogeyes]

[puppydogeyes]

I hope he's house-trained. Or ship-trained, I guess, in this case.

[puppydogeyes]

don't worry, only time he shits on people's stuff is when I tell him to

[goingsilent.livejournal.com]

Then remind me not to get on your bad side. And not to tell you where I keep my stuff, just in case I do.

[puppydogeyes]

that's the idea.

who are you

[goingsilent.livejournal.com]

Someone who doesn't remember how she got here. Like you from the sounds of it. You can call me Kasumi.

[puppydogeyes]

how I got here didn't matter so much

cartazonos familiar to you at all?

[goingsilent.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. And I've been around, so that's saying something.

[puppydogeyes]

right.

that's where I'm from. thought this might be something to do with it.

[...! She knew that going through every single post on this network so far would have an advantage.]

Kasumi. Keelah, am I glad to find you here.

I was beginning to think I was the only one.

[ Kasumi's known a few Quarians in her time but not many who would be so relieved to find her. That narrows the list down quite a bit. ]

Tali, is that you? I wish I could say I'm happy to hear from you, but I don't think winding up here is something anyone is happy about.

VIDEO;

Tyke!

[puppydogeyes]

[She squints at the video for a moment. She does recognise the other girl, knows she's seen her around the academy, feels like she has her name on the tip of her tongue, but can't quite get it. She frowns.]

You're not my team. They reshuffling us or something?

[twinklefluff.livejournal.com]

I don't know, nobody really knows why the hell we're here, but I haven't heard Reg--Uh. Keyboard's big mouth yet, so I don't think she's here. I think it's just us.

[puppydogeyes]

[She nods, looking away from the video, thinking.]

Not like Sparrows ever likes making sense. Unless this isn't anything to do with her.

[Which... who the hell was bigger than Sparrows?]

[twinklefluff.livejournal.com]

...that really doesn't make any sense.

[puppydogeyes]

Yeah, well. [She scrubs a hand back through her hair.] Got any better ideas?

[twinklefluff.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but we should probably meet up.
