Wait. Awww.

Oh, sweet Lien, age never stopped anyone who wanted things badly enough.

[psychometer]

I dunno, I badly want a root beer float over a Mai Tai

[stealwithit]

There's a time and a place for everything. Like, right now? Root beer float sounds amazing. Possibly adding to my hangover with a Mai Tai? No thanks.

I wonder where I can get a root beer float around here...

[psychometer]

Do they really serve root beer floats in space??? I mean, what do the other aliens think of it if they even digest human food??

I mean, they gotta at least think it's weird that we drink cow juice, much less use cow juice to make a ton of things

And chicken menstrual cycles

[stealwithit]

You might be surprised by how much cuisine from Earth caught on with other species. And since I can't walk around the Citadel without spotting at least one sushi bar or ramen joint, I bet I can find somewhere that serves root beer floats.

[ Possibly even a somewhere that serves root beer floats with non-dairy ice cream because hooray, being lactose-intolerant. ]

You have a very, *very* interesting way of describing your food. Do you call your fruits "plant babies" too?

[psychometer]

Nah, fruit's fruit, it's all cool.

Still, it's kinda awesome some food caught on. Cuisine is the way into the heart after all!

[stealwithit]

Yep, this kind of thing's like a novelty to some of them. Like they're immersing themselves in an exotic cultural experience or something.

More importantly, though, ever seen a turian using chopsticks?

[psychometer]

I wanna see a turian eating durian like an elegant epicurean

and promptly wonder why that was made for any race because i'm sure that's made to kill humans too

[stealwithit]

I'm still stuck on seeing "turian" and "elegant" in the same line.

[psychometer]

Gotta be a few steps above a krogan at least

wait is that racist

[stealwithit]

Either of the two would be proud to be called the farthest things from elegant, that much is for sure. Though I guess a turian would argue that their fighters and ships are elegant, which is probably true. Or anything to do with their military. What a bunch of nerds.

[psychometer]

One day, I will meet an elegant turian, I know it!! I HAVE DREAMS.

[stealwithit]

If I ever meet one myself, I'll be sure to send them your way.

[psychometer]

You're good people text buddy!

Say, how'd the pho place I recommended turn out?

[stealwithit]

Oh it was excellent, of course. Just the right degree of spicy. As in they struck the perfect balance between "mm, tingly" and "I'm a fire-breathing dragon!"

[psychometer]

I should revisit the joint one day. Maybe after my studies slow down...

SIGH, the world has expanded, we've moved out to colonies, and yet education grinds on :P

[stealwithit]

How's that going, by the way? You keeping up?

I'll treat you to a bowl when finals are over. :)

[ Kasumi is a good big sister okay. ]

[psychometer]

GPA is in the clear! I'm doing p. great all things considered!!

And a treat will only make me want to do better!!!!

[stealwithit]

It's settled, then. You deserve it.

I mean, I wouldn't ever deprive anyone of a good bowl of pho, anyway. That's just inhumane, right?

[psychometer]

Exactly!!

How are things on your end? Life among the stars going ok?

[stealwithit]

Oh, it's getting on well, struggling with unnecessarily-complicated Japanese toilets while drunk aside.

Seriously, why do they have so many buttons?

[psychometer]

You tell me, I don't know why there have to be different toilets in the first place.

[stealwithit]

Right? Like, I understand needing different toilets for, like, turians and krogan and those guys?

There's definitely something to be said about the elegance, class, and the technology that goes into Japanese toilets but at the same time--it's a *toilet.* You're just showing off.

[psychometer]

Yeah, I mean like

Butts don't have eyes

[stealwithit]

[ Kasumi's usually pretty quick with responding, but there's a bit of a delay with this one because she's too busy goddamn laughing her ass off t b h ]

You are correct. Butts don't have eyes.

The universe would be a very very different place if they did
