Can I just say that being an adult is pretty awesome? Because let's face it, puberty? Not fun the first time, a hell of a lot less fun the second time around. Or maybe that's just the left over aches from the sped up growing pains talking.

Anyway, normal request here among the sea of crazy that has been the last few days. No offense to most of you-some of you probably deserve being mocked and laughed at-but I'm thinking most of us could use a shred of the mundane and average for just a little bit.

I'm looking for a library and a junk yard, not necessarily in that order. Being grounded is not sitting well with my delicate sensibilities right now and the sooner that gets fixed, the happier I'm gonna be.

Getting stir-crazy, huh?

[whatatool]

Shore leave and me don't mix very well. I get antsy and bitter, people's feelings get hurt.

You know, the works.

[majoring]

That doesn't sound like you at all.

You think we could find what we'd need in junkyards?

[selfloyalty]

I know of a library.

[whatatool]

Yeah? Sweet.

I guess you know the way?

voice

[selfloyalty]

I do. I have spent many a night there simply reading.

[twiceadays]

What are you going to do, build yourself a mini Normandy?

[whatatool]

More like see if there's anything salvageable enough to get it airborne.

And hey, we've already got a quarian around. They're the champions of getting pieces of crap space worthy.

[twiceadays]

[LOL.

Shepard's shaking her head.] I miss it. Being grounded doesn't sit well with me. [She hasn't lived on a planet since Mindoir, really. And being stuck on Earth was literally a prison sentence.]

True, and Tali is an admiral now.

There's a library inside the Hold. I noticed books from other realms started appearing as more people were brought in. I even found books from my realm.

[whatatool]

Yeah? So like in theory, anyone could learn magic or anything from anyone's world? Not that I'm planning to, or anything.

That's kind of cool. Also maybe a little dangerous, but hey, still potentially awesome.

If you had the right spell tome and proper training, yes. It's not just read a book, then cast a fireball, I'm afraid.

If the circumstances were better, I wouldn't mind teaching you.

So should I get you a pointy wizard hat and a wand with glitter all over it, Merlin?

[hellodeadpeople]

Thank you for doing your goddamn job finally. [ She wants to get in the air. She's really sick of being a home owner. Not nearly nomadic enough for her. ]

[whatatool]

Pretty sure my job is fly the damn ship where Shepard tells me to. Personally, this is above and beyond my station. [Don't get your hopes up too much, Jack. We're likely grounded. 8(]

[hellodeadpeople]

Or go fetch the damn ship. The ship is your business, our business is kicking ass. I've kicked ass recently, have you flown recently? Hmmm.

I may know of a few places that could be considered junk yards.

[ And more, but he is not going to direct them towards his sites, oh no. That would be just as stupid as taking the pieces home. Hindsight. Always perfect. ]

[whatatool]

[Joker would probably flip his shit if he found one of Takegami's leftovers, anyway.]

Only considered? Because I'm looking for some pretty specific stuff.

[onemoredeath]

Broken equipment, piles of rusting machines, left alone for anyone to gut and leave bare, though I have seen no postings or signs of being owned by anyone.

[tequilaselai]

Planning to replicate the Normandy? [Tali's tone is equal parts pleased and excited. Building a ship out of scraps sounds like fun!] I'm not sure what kind of supplies we could salvage, but it's worth a shot.

[whatatool]

More like scrap assemble something, unless they've got some spare eezo laying around that they don't mind us borrowing. [Despite that he's not overly optimistic about anything remotely resembling the Normandy, he does sound enthused.] Yeah, I figure it's a project at least. No telling how long it'll take, but hey, better than sitting around, doing nothing.

[umadrobin]

Grounded?

[ video ]

[whatatool]

Not in the "stop picking on your sister and go to your room" sense but in the literal "my feet are touching the ground" sense, yeah.

[damnnearperfect]

What sort of project are you working on? Although, I can't say you'll have any luck finding the kind of media you're looking for in a public library. [Oh, yes, Joker. Miranda knows all about the things you were doing up on the bridge.]

[whatatool]

Hopefully, getting us airborne. At worst we could all crash and burn and die but hey, better than waiting for these guys to get their asses moving.

[He might be embarrassed if he was anyone else. Instead, he just shrugs, adjusting his cap.] Lucky for my roommates, I'm classy enough to download it on my own. I'd rather not touch someone's sloppy seconds.
