Calibration 29 [Accidental Video/Action]

[officer_garrus]

[The screen is focused on Garrus, for the most part, who is sleeping. There also appears to be a human-sized lump next to him in his bed. He rolls over and opens his eyes, seeing a stranger next to him.]

Whoa!

[Garrus jerks up, accidentally bringing the man up with him thanks to the handcuffs he doesn't realize they're wearing. Said man is now awake thanks to the noise and sudden movement.]

Who are you? How did you get in?

[Then he sees the handcuffs.]

Oh, I've heard of this curse. But that still doesn't get out of you explaining who you are.

[/Video ends]

[OOC: Garrus and Jack Harkness are attached for the weekend. Action for Jack, of course. Also, Jack-mun, would've written Jack some dialogue in but I was too afraid of getting him wrong. Only recently started watching Doctor Who again and haven't even touched Torchwood yet. ^^;; ]

Garrus Vakarian. I'm thinking either this is a curse, or this is the work of some drunken partiers.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

Those are both plausible options. Considering I'm fairly certain I was sober last night, I'm going to go with the curse option.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

So was I. [He looks down at the cuffs.] This is going to make things awkward.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[He looks down at the cuffs as well and shrugs.]

Perhaps. I'm guessing there isn't a key if this is a curse. How long do you think it'll last?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

If I had to guess, either until midnight tonight or tommorrow.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun.

So, what should we do, then? Handcuffed together like this, things could get pretty interesting pretty fast.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Well, first I think I need some nourishment. Unfortunatly the only things I have that are safe for humans to eat are snack foods. You know, for company.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

Snack foods won't kill me. What do you eat?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Anything dextro-friendly, really. Come on. [Yanks on the chain lightly to get Jack to follow him to the kitchen.] There's crackers and canned fruit in the cupboard.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[He follows, not that he has much choice.] Maybe some fruit. I'm not that hungry, really.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Garrus gets a can of peaches from the cupboard, then goes to the fridge to get something that probably doesn't look the least bit appetizing to a human.]

You don't seem that surprised to meet someone who's not human.

[Digs around with his free hand for the can opener.]

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[Jack shrugs and places his hands on his hips.]

I'm not. I deal with beings that aren't human on a daily basis. Some of the people I care most about aren't human.

You could say....that I'm 'species blind'.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Garrus gives him a look as he digs out the can opener>]

You don't say.

[He starts opening the can.]

I'm the same way, working with lots of different species and being friends with them. The one I care about most is even a human.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[He smirks.]

Glad to know it's similar in other places.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Smirks back.]

Yeah. I don't suppose you've got turians in your universe? Or maybe even asari or krogan?

[Finishes opening the can and gets a couple of forks out, sticking one in the can and the other in his own food.]

Dig in.

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[Jack takes a bite and shrugs.]

There might be. I know quite a few species, but, not all of them.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[He bites into his own meal.]

Well, if you didn't before, now you can add turian to that list.

[Points at himself.]

[sometimes-boe.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and sets down his fork, offering his non-cuffed hand]

Always a pleasure to meet a new species.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his hand]

Pleasure's all mine.
