  [TEXT] …i did not realize you got this.

[TEXT] excuse me while i jump in front of a firing range.

[TEXT] oh and i owe you a new bottle of brandy.

[drkarinchakwas]

[TEXT]: Shepard please, don't worry yourself over it.  I really don't have it in me to dislodge 14 bullets tonight so do us both a favor and stay out of the firing range.  

[TEXT]: I'll be patiently awaiting that bottle.

[ofparagonheart]

"…Not really." Shepard replies simply, and shifts in her stance to her back leg. "And no, it’s working fine… I guess it’s just me that held it back a bit." she fesses up, sighing as her hand rubs her face. She’s more tired than ever, and her scars from Saren make it more obvious. 

"I’ve… stopped lately…drinking, I mean."

[drkarinchakwas]

"Holding back...?  Well, I'm here if you'd like to discuss something in particular." The doctor leans forward, lacing fingers as they set upon her desk. "I really am glad to hear it... I can't imagine how hard that must be.  Are the effects impacting your mission?"

Karin knew that the symptoms of alcohol withdraw could be anything from night sweats, anxiety, insomnia... and in worse case scenarios, shaking hands.  She sits quietly, allowing Shepard come forth with any information on her own.

"Sounds useful." Anything to give them a better defense against the Reapers. A stiff shrug lifts both of her shoulder, hands slipping from her pockets to simply hang at her sides. "Fine, as always." It’s only a partial lie, seeing how today is one of the better days. "There’s a few new bruises from our last mission, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. How about yourself?"

[drkarinchakwas]

Chakwas places the datapad down, sliding it off to the side. "Well, that's an improvement from last weeks injuries," she grins, making light of their situation for the time being. "I'm quite well.  Busy, but it's better to keep my mind engaged in a time like this.  Please, Shepard, sit." The doctor gestures with an open palm to the seat across from her.  

[drkarinchakwas]

"Doctor." Thane greeted as he stepped into the medical bay, inclining his head. "I hope that I am not interrupting anything, but Shepard asked that I come for a check up." 

"Ah, Sere Krios, pleasant surprise," she smiles, peering up at the drell. "Of course not, please sit.  Is she worried about something in particular, or is there anything I should be made aware of?" 

[drkarinchakwas]

[for the text meme] [TEXT] Doc is this shit coming out of my hair actually hair.

[TEXT] I know it's actually hair I just want to know if it will grow back if i cut it i dont know what Cerberus did to me whlile I was out and everything seems to be working okay but i wouldnt put it past some shitstain to make my hair not grow back if i ev

[TEXT] er got a shit haircut not that i think you were part of theose shit stains who brought me back but if you were im going to be really fucking cross with you and don't expect me to go down and visit you in the med bay ever or maybe for a few months

[TEXT] also can i have some of your serrice ice brandy i finished mine and i cleaned out the rest of my booze too thnks

[TEXT] Your hair will grow back, Shepard.  What is all this fuss about you losing your hair anyhow? 

[TEXT] And I never worked for Cerberus, I worked for you.  

[TEXT] I think it's past time you went to bed.  We can share a bottle another evening.

[ofparagonheart]

"Yeah, well…" She doesn’t bother to finish her sentence, knowing it always ends with something to do about the reapers and the war at hand. She sighs softly, and brings a hand to her cheek; oddly enough, she’s felt the scar giving her ghost pain lately. "Yeah… mostly."

[drkarinchakwas]

"Is there anything on your mind, Commander?" she quietly asks, observing her as she traces a finger along the engraved scarlet marks.  The scars are the only clue that Cerberus had rebuilt her, a glimpse of the woman she had become.  It's a strange thought, but Karin can't accurately recall the last time she saw her smile. "We can try something else, if that isn't working..."

[glasspilot]

"You mean work,” he added quietly upon her initial statement. But it seemed she’d caught her own mistake as well, because she continued about taking some time off. Not that she seemed all that excited, but no matter.

"Mm, usually I just drink, or win some creds at the casino. Not a whole lot else to do, since I’m not exactly big on shopping or…whatever else there is to do. You oughta pop in, I’ll buy us a round or two. …Do you play poker?"

[drkarinchakwas]

"I'm a bit embarrassed to say I have yet to visit the Silversun Strip... It sounds like a wonderful idea." Truthfully, it's hard to ward off the creeping feeling of anxiety. A casino is very much out of her element, and she can imagine how terribly out of place she would feel.  But it wouldn't hurt... just once...

"One doesn't serve in the Alliance without learning poker.  It's one of my guilty pleasures.  Although, I haven't played in years." Now that the Normandy had been outfitted with a table, it would be good to put it to use.  Certainly the strip also had tables. "I used to play a tough hand of Texas Hold'em.  But I can't say that I became very familiar with Skyllian Five."

[drkarinchakwas]

[MSG] Okay, Gar, I finally linked that virus to a 2 Maidens 1 Matriarch vid. Yeah, I know it was you. You know I already have a copy of that on my terminal. Gonna have to try better than that next time and find porno I haven't already DL'd.

*rolls her eyes, nearing flustered as cheeks turn beet red*

[MSG] Honestly, Jeff. If it wasn’t for EDI’s firewalls, the Normandy would be crawling with viruses.  

[MSG] Now I’m going to delete this and pretend it was a movie about some sweet family who became reunited during the war. 

[drkarinchakwas]

{Text} So Shepard, I have the whipped cream and I have the strawberries. But remind me where you want me to put the chocolate again. {NSFW Text Meme}

{Text} I'm hoping on your ice cream sunday, Major Alenko.  Also, we have an early morning tomorrow.  Don't keep Shepard up all night with your sweet tooth...

"…someone has to step it up, and it might as well be me. I can take it… " A snort passes her lips, a cynical remark brimming upon her lips. "Died once. What else is out there to stop me?"

[drkarinchakwas]

"I'm sure you can, Shepard... But remember, the entire crew is here with you, to share your burden.  I'd rather not test the theory that you can or cannot die twice..." Karin swears she sees the deeply etched scars glowing, and she tears her gaze away to meet the Commander's eyes. "The sleep medication working?"

[glasspilot]

Jeff didn’t give her a verbal response, but he did get a little pleased grin on his face at her first statement, before he swirled around the orange mixture in the glass. 

"Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll be up and at ‘em," he began with a grin, settling back as he finished off the rest of the drink. Wiping his mouth, he stretched a bit. "So, orders from the boss is we’re headed to the Citadel. You gonna get off the ship for once and have a good time?"

[drkarinchakwas]

"Oh?  Pleasant surprise.  I actually needed to pick up a few things at Huerta and check our shipment of medical supplies," she began, realizing the intention is for her to relax, not work the entirety of shore leave.

"But I suppose I can sneak off to the Presidium, get some fresh air and browse the new shops..." she shrugs, not seeming too enthused about personal time. "What do you like to do when we're on the Citadel? It seems I never see anyone off the ship... I either stay aboard the Normandy or lend a hand at Huerta..." 

[glasspilot]

"That’s actually listed in my official duties, right under flying the ship. There’s this small print that says ‘make sure the doctor on board parties a sufficient amount’ in more or less words." He gave a casual shrug of conversation as he leaned back, waiting until she’d returned with the drink and medication.

"Lemme guess, this is gonna taste like crap," he started, taking the pills and popping them into his mouth before he downed a good portion of the drink. It was refreshing but it sure as hell didn’t taste like sugar water. "Mm, just like Mom used to make it," he joked, giving a little cough.

[drkarinchakwas]

"It's good to know someone is looking out for my best interest... And although it's your written duty, there is still no one better for the task," she grins.  Again, she takes a seat, crossing her legs and folding hands neatly in her lap.

"You know, I get mixed reviews.  Some hate it, some are impartial too it.  I find it to be mildly citrusy, thick on the mineral aftertaste..." A open palm gestures as she speaks. "I would tell you to sleep the rest of your hangover off, but someone has to get us to the next terminus system.  And I didn't do very well in my flying courses, just so you're aware."
