Oh.

[aurelia scowls, annoyed, and casting a critical eye over shepard.]

Well, that's tedious. The other you would've no doubt tried to shoot me for that.

[squadgoals]

Should I try and shoot you, to keep up appearances?

[Why was she getting the stinkeye? Who was this lady? But more importantly, was this the first person she'd spoken to that seemed to view her double as a friend? Curiosity spiked, she shook off the last of her ball-to-face wooziness, and extended a polite hand.]

I don't think I caught your name, Ms...?

[diamondslap]

If you want.

[eyebrows: raise. aurelia isn't sure who this is, why she's shepard's low quality double, but she's annoying and boring.]

Aurelia Hammerlock. What do I call you? Shepard 2? Lesser One?

[squadgoals]

[Lesser one? Rude. But she's definitely dealt with worse.]

I'll settle for Shepard 2, if you start calling her Shepard 1.

A pleasure to meet you, Aurelia. You down here taking pictures of every injury you see, or just mine?

[diamondslap]

Just you. Shepard 1 would've found it funny, instead of lecturing me. Shepard 1 is always more fun than that. She really knows what she's doing.

[also she's pretty and amazing and smells nice and]

[squadgoals]

[What lecture

What's with the tone

I thought my joke was funny

Am I getting compared

Is she suggesting I'm the worse twin???]

...Seems like you two get along pretty well.

[diamondslap]

You could say that, we've had some fun. I can't imagine where it went so wrong with you. What are you, twins?

[there's always one terrible one.]

[squadgoals]

Actually, I think we're both only children. She's just from a parallel universe.

[She adds, deadpanning:] Alas for my upbringing. What can I possibly do to make it up to you?

[diamondslap]

Oh. The same person but different versions? That's dull. Sibling rivalries are much more entertaining.

[this one is more fun to aggravate though.]

Hmm... next planet we get to, I shall ask for your assistance with something. Perhaps we can have a jolly old adventure through an alien forest!

[or maybe she'll use shepard as a fall guy. hasn't decided yet.]

[squadgoals]

[She ignores the first comment, and makes for the second, tone upbeat.] Well, I was about to go snorkeling. Do you do water? We could take in the fish.

[diamondslap]

Not this planet, I have shopping to do.

[she leans back, peering at shepard down through her nose.]

This contract is sealed, Shepard 2.

[squadgoals]

Understood. Retail therapy has a hell of a siren call.

[She raises an eyebrow, but smiles all the same at her expression.]

Consider me on board, Aurelia 1, and enjoy your shopping adventures.
