Calibration 38 [audio]

[officer_garrus]

Does anyone else think the fact that there have been absolutey no curses yet this month is weird? Usually by now we're turned into things or made to start smacking each other.

I don't like this. The City could be saving up for something.

I think people have been trying to avoid saying it, Garrus.



[ooc: I AM ABOUT TO GO TO SLEEP I just wanted to get this tag in]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but someone had to say it sooner or later.

Better that we all have our guard up than be unprepared.

[punchedhitler]

I hope it's nothing.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Famous last words, Steve. Famous last words.

[punchedhitler]

I know it.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

At any rate, I'm going to be keeping on my toes and my guns close.

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

So there's a pattern to these curses?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Not really, those are just some pretty common ones.

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Oh. Tell me, what has been the worst one you have experienced?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Well, one time the City got taken over by harpies.

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Harpies? Amazing...

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, harpies. With razor-sharp claws.

We've also been forced to hit each other, but that was all because of some idiot.

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Fascinating and horrible at the same time. Especially with the sharp claws. I assume it was taken care of eventually, yes?

...Hit eachother? And it wasn't a curse. How did this idiot do it?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we cleaned up the City. Literally.

Someone punched a diety.

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

So someone's actually met them...

[signatures]

Like what?

Self-destruction?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

I don't think the City would be that uncreative.

[mintjulep]

Been about a week, hasn't it?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't like it. Usually something happens by now.

[mintjulep]

I haven't been here all that long, but I reckon you're right about that.

Does the City have safehouses or somethin' similar?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

There's Police HQ, and sometimes groups establish safehouses during really dangerous curses.

[mintjulep]

[ There's a slight snort. ] I don't even know where Police HQ is.

Ought to see if something can be done at the hospital.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It does seem very odd, doesn't it?

I would have expected... something... to have happened by now.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I think some people are just hoping the City's getting lazy by now.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

That would be nice, but I wouldn't count on it. I think I agree with you, it might be preparing for something much more involved than the usual curses. We should be on guard for that possibility, just in case.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Keep any weapons close.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I always do.

[Finding Eagle without a weapon is more rare. ]

Then again, maybe we are overreacting. Perhaps the City has decided to be charitable and is giving us a little 'New Year's' break. I will hope that is the case.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but still. In my world, everybody thinks they're safe after what happened on the Citadel two years ago, and it may cost my entire galaxy.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I think that is a good policy.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Me too. Trust me, I hope I'm wrong.
