Whoa!

[He'd been mind his own business perfectly fine and then all of a sudden there'd been a hand out of the darkness, yanking Commander Shepard off balance and into the chair he'd been passing.

Luckily, nothing in this entire place had been a real threat outside of the fortune tellers trying to tell him how doomed his love life was and how full of missed opportunities his past was -a true terror- so he didn't feel threatened by this sudden 'assault' just startled...and a little confused.]

Uh...hello to you too. Can I help you?

[slightlysaggy]

Well, it's more like I can help you. Because today is your lucky day! You get to keep a beautiful woman company at a nice club.

[ Yeah, this seems to be going well. At least he only seems surprised so far and not horrified or something. ]

How does that sound?

[dreamofakuze]

[Well, he had heard worse propositions before. Besides, she seemed nice enough and he was pretty sure he'd seen her around the Fleet before.]

Sounds like a better plan than anything else I had going on, just don't ask me to dance and we'll be good.

[He flagged the waiter down and ordered whatever beer the bar had that sounded interesting and signaled for him to grab another of whatever his companion was drinking before turning back to her.]

So, do I get to know your name or are you going to make me try and guess?

[slightlysaggy]

Well, aren't you a charmer?

[ Ordering her another drink and everything. It's been a pretty long damn time since she's gotten that kind of treatment. ]

As fun as guessing would be, the name's Bulma. Bulma Brief.

[ She'll just sit back, smiling, and waiting for the inevitable shock and disbelief. Surely she's famous across the entire universe by now, and he'll definitely be starstruck. ego obliteration in 3... 2... ]

[dreamofakuze]

Yeah...glad you didn't make me guess, I don't think I would have gotten that.

[Sorry, were you expecting recognition? Cause he's just gonna...take a drink. And definitely not say anything along those lines, sorry Bulma. It's okay, though, here's your chance to do literally the same to him.]

I'm Commander Shepard, it's a pleasure to meet you, Bulma.

[slightlysaggy]

[ MENTAL SIGH. Of course, it's too much to expect anyone to recognize here way out here...

It's not all bad though, his title does sound interesting at least, even if she doesn't recognize the name. ]

Commander, huh? What are you in command of?

[ She plucks her new drink from the bar, and settles in with it. ]

[dreamofakuze]

[WELL he doesn't usually get asked that. Honestly, though, it's just as much a relief as it is unsettling. After the entire universe expects you to save them, a little anonymity is a breath of fresh air.]

A ship for the Alliance Navy. She's called the Normandy.

Where are you from, Bulma?
