Couple things I've been wondering about, lately. Figured now that the brand crap has settled down a bit, it's as good a time as any to ask.

- Any word on where the Paladin Leviathan went? Lost track of that discussion with all the under water adventures.

- Has anyone heard anything about any Riftfarers ever getting promoted in their respective Armadas? We know they have superiors, a council each - Paladins especially have a military type structure, from what I've seen. But has anyone ever been an officer? Or whatever passes for it in the Corsairs?

[It just seems weird, okay.]

- And ah, less seriously

[He almost starts typing "Looking for experience with getting a house" but deletes it. That's too forward, probably.]

Pet fish. Suggestions welcome. The hardier the species the better.

[NAILED IT.]

First a dog, now fish.

Hoarding animals, Garrus?

[thearchangel]

[ - UH OH.]

What dog?

[HINT. HINT.]

I don't have a dog.

[stealthpun]

[You're lucky he's detective]

Right. Of course. Not that I would recommend keeping a person.

[Teasing!]

Goldfish is usually a good starter, just bear in mind they need more water than you'd expect.

[thearchangel]

[CRISIS AVERTED... Whew.]

Good joke. I'm laughing on the inside.

... Are goldfish, you know, hardy? Don't die easily?

[book2thehead]

Oh? Are we the ambitious sort looking to climb the ranks of our armadas?

[stealthpun]

You're lucky I don't know any dogs here.

[gottem]

They're quite resilient. Most often people simply underestimate how large of a space they need to thrive, but they don't die easily. I can write you some basic instructions for care if you would like.

[telepathicignorance]

Riftfarers have been here a long enough time it seems likely, but no one I know has been promoted.

I don't know much about fishkeeping.

[thearchangel]

Yes. Yes, I am.

[They're doing so well.]

Do they need a lot of room? How much room, exactly? But, yeah. Instructions. That'd help.

[thearchangel]

I'll pass. Had enough of military hierarchy for a while.

I just think it's odd. With how many of us are here, with how long some of us have been here... no one's done it yet.

[thearchangel]

Doesn't that seem odd to you? None of us, not even the ones with the most tenure, have been included in their promotions.

[It's fine, about the fish. Neither does he.]

cant ya just catch something in the sea

[As if it were that easy. But it makes sense to him!]

[thearchangel]

Couple problems with that.

I don't do well with water. And I don't know anything about fish - including how to catch them.

[stillarhino]

dont do well with it? like you cant swim or something?

only tried catching fish a while back
worst part of its the waiting

[thearchangel]

No, I can't. It's a species problem. We physically can't do it.

I'm thinking the colorful kinds would be best. Catch any of those?

[stillarhino]

species?
hold up
the hell you supposed to be man

[Sorry, his curiosity is taking precedence.]

text -> Video

[thearchangel]

[Oh boy. Maybe he should've left this as a video feed to start with. He'll save the sigh for the text before he switches over to video:]

Not a human, that's for sure.

1/? I'm so sorry

[stillarhino]

[That's not a human all right... Sorry Garrus, he's just going to stare for a little bit.]

[stillarhino]

[stillarhino]

[stillarhino]

done

[stillarhino]

Yo, you supposed to be a turtle or somethin'?

SORRY BRUH

[thearchangel]

[Okay... maybe text was the right move to start with. Maybe he should have just sent a picture.]

Turtle. Can't say I've heard that one before. [It shouldn't annoy him, but here it is.] Turian. It's 'turian'. We're not from your planet.

I can practically hear garrus sighing

[stillarhino]

[It's not like he meant to be rude... even if it comes off that way.]

Turian, huh? [He's going to have to remember that one.] Guess it makes sense why you don't know much about fish.

I ain't caught no colorful ones you looking for. Was out fishing for a coupla hours and only got one of 'em to bite.

this is why he texts he thinks

[thearchangel]

Yeah, not being from Earth really has that effect.

[Yep, just going to move on to talking about fish - ]

Hm, too bad. I doubt the ones people eat make for good pets.

[stillarhino]

Would help ya out with it if it ain't hella borin', yo. Probably more fun to try catchin' one with your hands.

[A pause, his expression shifting as it lights up, clearly realizing something.]

You try askin' those guys who got pets you can adopt? Even if they don't got any up for grabs, they's prob'ly got a coupla ideas on how to hook ya up with some.
