Adults are basically 12 year olds with more alcohol

[renegadedriving]

Who: Shepard, Garrus, Shepard's adult CR
What: In order to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, Shepard throws a party. With bacon. And beer. And anything others bring!
When: Backdated to Friday
Where: The Communal Kitchen

[Today, Shepard is introducing Garrus to the adults of terminal. They’ve settled into the communal kitchen, and Shepard has pulled out all the supplies she’ll need to make bacon.]

[And there are multiple 6-packs of beer on the counter.]

You ready for the least conventional human dinner party of your life?

Are we talking our sort of “conventional,” or the actual, boring kind?

The ‘I have no idea if this even counts as a dinner party anymore’ kind.

Somehow, I just knew that was going to be the answer

[Although judging from his amused grin he’s not exactly displeased with the fact.]

Probably for the best. I don’t exactly have a suit and tie handy.

[Shepard grins right back.]

Bacon is hardly suit and tie food. Although you’d probably look good like that... Better than I do in fancy dresses, anyways.

High praise, considering I had to pick my mandibles up off the floor when I saw you heading to Hock’s party.

. . . I wouldn’t tell that story, if I were you. It involved a lot of thievery.

[A pause.]

Okay, actually, it just involved me in a horrible dress and I’m pretty sure the network already saw me in pajamas, my friends don’t need to hear about my other clothing disasters.

[She glances at the doors.]

You ready for this?

[You can tell by that smirk of his he’s going to be asking around for pictures of that.]

I think with everything we’ve been through I’m ready for just about anything. Dinner parties are a new one, though.

Meat and alcohol isn’t, though. You’ll do fine.

[He chuckles, and puts an arm around her waist]

Well, when you put it like that …

[Shepard tugs Garrus down for a quick kiss, grins, then wiggles out of his grasp to go open the doors.]

Then let’s do this thing.

Comments

[calibrates_big_guns]

[Garrus'll just take those off your hands, Perry.] Thanks

And given we only had bacon and beer, that should probably be "counting on".

[He hasn't had bacon before, but any party with only one food is kind of a sorry affair. And this is coming from the turian in the room.]

[Perry entered with her partner floating beside him. At those words he wonders if maybe he should have brought MORE food in that case but decided against it. After all, it wasn't really his fault if other people weren't considerate about party protocol. Also, he should probably stop thinking about it in such "official" terms.]

We actually were not sure at first if bringing food would be warranted or not, but we felt it was better to play it safe.

[Perry hands the food over to Garrus and a nod of 'your welcome.' He gives Shepard a questioning look. Why would you think only bacon and beer would fuel a party. Bartholomew, who has gotten much better at "reading" his oddly mute partner voices it.]

Only bacon and beer?

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard shrugs. It's not a real dinner party, and they can always raid the Damemon if they need more than what they brought. But still, in her defense...]

And pretzels.

[Shepard. That's barely an improvement.]
