All right, I cave.

Help wanted for someone who can engineer a way to keep someone from sinking the second they set foot in a body of water.




And please don't say "swimming lessons" - that's not physically possible without a lot of flotation assistance.

[ Don't expect him to come to your shows anytime soon!!



.... And sorry, but that'll earn another stare, this time his face going a bit blank. ]

Nuh uh. Guessin' that's what you are, though?

[thearchangel]

[Yeah he was afraid of this.]

That's what humans say. Easiest explanation to run with in a place like this.

[halfdog]

I ain't stupid. [ And not a human, either! ] If you don't wanna be called an "alien" or whatever the hell it is, then just say what you are!

Or, y'know, if you got a name or something.

[thearchangel]

I didn't say that. [Easy, down boy.] It's just easier sometimes, to explain it that way, for everyone involved.

It's Garrus. And I'm a turian.

[halfdog]

Garrus the turian. Got it. [ He does, in fact, not get it. ] I'm Inuyasha.

So what, can turians not take off the metal pieces? Are they stuck on ya?

[thearchangel]

Nice meeting you.

My armor, sure. But not my actual plating. It'd be like you removing pieces of your skin.

[halfdog]

[ Cue the cringed grimace as that mental image flashes through his mind. ]

Gross! Okay, I get your point.

So then… why not look for somethin’ here? This place is magical, isn’t it? There’s gotta be a thing here that can keep you from drowning. I keep hearing about these “relics” or whatever.

[thearchangel]

[He inclines his head a little - you're welcome for that image, Inuyasha.]

Mostly, because I don't know a damn thing about 'magic'. So... asking people here with more experience seemed like the best bet.

Yeah. Apparently the "relics" are all underwater, too.

[halfdog]

Underwater? Damn, you're really unlucky, aren't ya?

[thearchangel]

That's me. Unluckiest son of a bitch in this world.
