Make it through okay? Burst out of the ground and all? Busy?

[rocknrollrefugee]

FROM: talbot.hanna@cdc.org

You know, when I said I wanted to be in a zombie movie, I really didn't imagine it like this. Yeah, I'm ok, not really busy though. What's up?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Why would you say you wanted to be in a zombie movie?

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Nothing specific's up, just wanted to drop by. Maybe get the hug you owe me, that sort of thing.

[rocknrollrefugee]

FROM: talbot.hanna@cdc.org

Because who doesn't want to run around with a shotgun blowing off zombie heads?

FROM: talbot.hanna@cdc.org

Ha, I knew there was a catch. I'll let it slide this time. Where are you?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Point. That'd be fun. Much more fun than sitting around staring at the fake sky. Starting to hate it a little.

I'm at the Home Depot, checking out their wire selection.

[She doesn't respond, because she's already booking it to Home Depot. She doesn't have much for weaponry on her right now, though, besides the bow and arrow.

Sure, Hanna had been to Home Depot a few times already, but not enough to know where the hell the wires are.]

Bueller! ... Bueller?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

...Bueller?

[That's not a name he's heard around, which doesn't mean they're not on the crew, but it does imply it. He walks down the aisle he's in to tilt his head at Hanna.]

You meeting all your dates here today?

[rocknrollrefugee]

[She laughs, with a big smile.]

I think Michael J Fox might be too old for me these days. It's from a movie. Ferris Bueller's Day off. The teacher has a really monotone way of saying his name. It's kind of the iconic line. Look it up, it's pretty typical 80s stuff.

[Who would've thought she'd be discussing classic 80s cult movies with an alien over twice her height.]

What can I do you for, Garrus?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Next time we're on the ship, I'll look it up.

[At the very least it should be educational. But he has some faith in her taste, so maybe it'll be entertaining too. Who knows. He'll have to rope a few other people in for commentary.]

And... not particularly cold, but there's something about this world that doesn't feel right. Probably because of the sky. Figured maybe the other fire hug you owed me would take the edge off that chill.

[That, and it's been a while since they've hung out. They don't have a lot of leapfrogs left, and it's not like Garrus has so many friends he doesn't feel the absence of the ones that he hasn't spoken with in a time.]

If you were willing.

[rocknrollrefugee]

I'm always willing.

[Said with a bright grin. She approaches him, arms ready to wrap around his midsection, since she's way too short for any other kind of hug.

And when she does, Hanna concentrates on her body heat. It gradually rises to a comfortable sort of warmth, not enough to burn, but enough to probably make you fall asleep on a hot day.]

A lot of things about this place don't feel right.
