[The woman that comes on the screen is a striking figure with her bright blue eyes, ornate jewelry, and pale blue skin. Life would probably be easier for Samara if she tried to hide how she looked, but she’s used to life not being easy.]

As a Justicar I am used to receiving an unusual amount of attention. [When she speaks there’s an almost unnatural amount of calmness in her voice.] Never quite so much though. It is strange to find myself in a place where humans have such little experience with races beyond their own. [The calmness extends to that statement, although some may be able to pick up just a tiny hint of interest in her voice. Samara is actually almost curious about the reactions she gets from people. In fact, she’s curious about the reactions she will continue to get from new people.]

Strange but certainly interesting. I have found myself unusually curious as to how people will continue to adapt to my presence. [Or if they will ever adapt at all. She pauses for a second as she lifts her arm to look at the area where the tattoo is located.]

I am afraid, however, that I cannot comply with this government’s request to register with them. I have sworn an oath already and it is not to anyone of this government. [Besides she highly doubts that their values and the Code’s values would align.] The housing is appreciated, as is the offer of employment, but I will find my own way. For four hundred years I have done so and I see no reason to stop now.

[ She's no EDI, but the blue robot on the feed seems curious. ]

I would not put a great of expectations on the ability of human beings to accept your differences.

[He's surprised to see Samara here as well, which is fairly evident from his expression. Still, he's empathetic to her plight, of course.

He isn't fairing any better.

Their attention is...inconvenient, isn't it?

[But he inclines his head in greeting.]

Hello, Samara.

In my experience, humans do not generally respond well to things or beings that they do not understand.

I'm sure people will get used to it after a while! After all, even if you're blue, you're also very beautiful! [Even if...]

-- Oh, are you really four hundred years old?
housenurse: (here's something for tempting the palate)

[personal profile] housenurse 2014-08-05 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[holy shit] That's even more amazing! You must know so much about the world... And to see everything change around you in that time! You must be a very important person.

I enjoy the shade. [He doesn't crack a smile, but the jest is there for anyone who knows him well enough.]

What do you make of this place? [Thane's already formed his own opinions, but he's gathering information.]
biotically: (But I'll go along with it)

[ Now that is an Asari. ]

That's...a little hasty, isn't it? Sorry -- I just -- I haven't seen you here before.

[ Shepard doesn't usually spend a lot of time on the network, but with the effort to try and see if he can narrow down a place to go to, he's been looking at it a lot more -- so he doesn't miss this. He's glad he doesn't, because while the face on the communicator isn't one he expects, it's one he feels a strange sense of relief to see.

There isn't even a beat of hesitation before he's pushing the button to let him reply, his face and with its cocky, lopsided grin filling most of the screen. ]


I was starting to think you'd gotten lost. What took you so long?

Acknowledged.
I suppose I simply have little patience for their prejudice.

[ Two crewmates in one day? Shepard doesn't know if he wants to call that luck, or something else. ]

Space travel hasn't even been invented yet, here. You might be the first aliens some of these these people have ever seen.
biotically: (Like my new kindle?)

I see. [ Obviously. ]

[ Not really, mr. I thought about this for three months doesn't get it. ]

Nothing at all? I -- you know what you want, don't you?

[Have a very greyscale man looking vaguely interested if mostly bored. He has a vaguely European accent as well.]

They'll stop caring in a few months, humans are painfully predictable. Once the novelty wears off they stop bothering you... or they'll take you as a threat and try to kill you.

[ What a curious-looking woman. Strangely beautiful, though. Still, more relevant is the rest of what she's said: ]

If I might inquire: what oath have you sworn, ma'am?
biotically: (Oh shit oh shit)

[ There's a look on his face. The one of near-total confusion. ]

I've heard of Justicars, but you'll need to fill me in a bit more than that. The most I know is that you exist.

Yes.
You seem remarkably tolerant, regardless.
