The Meetup [CITADEL, OPEN!]

noticing the quarian taking in the thing from the tube, gestran turns toward kenec with a curious expression.

"Hey man, whats that you eating there?" "Mind if I have a taste?" "trade you a chickenleg!"

suddenly he spots the turian.

"oh hey Titus! Still on for the interview next week?"

A hanar with two missing tentacles floated to the park which the gathering was taking place in, accompanied by a cerulean drell who was tapping away on a datapad, chattering on to the hanar. "...And we need to contact Kahje again soon; with the colonies still cut off, we-"

"Beleus." The hanar dimly flashed back. A lot of its flashes these days were 'quieter' than the average hanar. Most people tended not to notice though, but the drell glanced up, blinking. "That can be taken care of later. For now, this one wishes to relax." For a moment, Beleus looked as though he wished to protest, but then he fell quiet and nodded, tucking away the datapad. The hanar floated to the crowd, tweaking with a few settings on its omnitool to amplify the audio output to a normal volume. "Greetings. This one hopes that it and its friend is in the right place for the CDN meet up."

Sarah handed over the plate and drink. "Only one way to find out." She gave Aaron a gentle, friendly shove towards the crowd, making her way over to the gate to activate her omnitool. A projected keyboard emitted from her wrist, and after a moment, she sent a message to her significant other, her eyes casting back at the crowd. She took a deep breath and made her way back, a smile on her face.

She made her way over to the newly arrived Hanar and took note of it's flashing colors. "Uh- Welcome to the first annual CDN Meetup... guy!" She scratched at her chin. "Ma'am." Her experiences with Hanar were about as infrequent as a Krogan's ballet class. She shook the Drell's hand and gestured to the tables of food.

Kenec looked at the human. "...no. I don't want your filthy mouth all over my food, ya weirdo."

He continued eating away, noting that the human male next to him was quiet. Must've been nervous or something, he supposed.

The dim flash of the hanar's bioluminescence flickered, and a soft laugh came from the translator. "Please, call this one Emaleus. That is its face name and the handle it uses for the forums." The hanar raised a stumpy tentacle to gesture to the drell beside it, who raised a hand in greeting. "It hopes that the other does not mind that it brought a friend."

"Hi." He greeted rather lamely, before clearing his thoat. "My name is Beleus."

A bit taken aback by kenecs attitude gestran puts up his hands defensively

"hey relax! I was just curious." "Killah seals or whatever it is you guys say."

not giving Kenec time to answer he yells toward Vohkaidin.

"HEY BOSS! WHAT IS THAT PHRASE THE QUARIAN USE ALL THE TIME!?

Titus smiles widely at Gestran and steps over to him.
"'Course I am! I'd never cancel without shooting something your way."

He nodded and scratched at his fringe.
"Where's the food?"

"It's right here."

he takes another cupcakes and starts munching on it.

"You should reawwy twy these they're fweaking brilliant."

he swallows

"KEELAH SE'LAI! Now learn to use your INDOOR VOICE!"

Vohkaidin snarled in pseudo rage, and took another bite of (Man whatever it was, it was delicious)

After swallowing, he beckoned Lynn over to sit by the couple. A curious gaze was gracing his features.

Helena eyes narrowed at both Gestran and Vohk? Couldn't the pair of them not be mortifying when in the same company?

Helena was about to rebuke one, when what Gestran was eating caught her eye.

That is the shiniest cupcake I have ever...

Cupcakes.

Muck looked at the imposing figure of Vindi, and the cupcakes from the dextro plate, the only pastry she could see.

Oh shit.

Helena rose from her seat and bolted to Gestran.

"Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out!"

The hanar noted the shouting, and glanced over. When the human woman ran by, both it and Beleus stepped out of the way...so that they could watch the happenings better.

"...Do things like this always happen when forum members meet?" Beleus asked curiously.

Helena's alarmed cry startles Vindi. "Did he eat blue wrapper?" she demand. "Blue wrapper are dextro, red wrapper are levo, I thought that was standard practice here."

Sarah covered her face in her hands, walking to the bathroom to grab the first aid kit. She wandered back, handing it to Muckraker. "I've already alerted the authorities." She spoke quietly.

"What kind of moron eats opposite amino acids anyway?" Kenec muttered, having set his vox to mute and still sucking on his nutripaste tube.

This escalated quickly. Yep, it's a CDN event.

Suddenly wondering why people were looking at him like he was mad, gestran takes another bite.

"What? is ther- *gulp* something on my face?"

He looks at the cupcake.

"I shouldn't have eaten the last one should I? SORREEE!"

Well, so much for a peaceful day out.

"Sir, don't swallow...." He swallowed.

"Sir, if you can, try to regurgitate, now."

"Is this some sort of party game?" "Cuz if it is I am totally not following."

He wipes his brow.

"Also, is it getting hot in here?"

Why the fuck am I handed the first aid kit?!

But rather than complain, or wonder about how fast a messenger Sarah was, Helena opened the first aid box, and found (Oh God, thank you for dumbasses who have done this in the past) ipecac pills for just such an occasion.

"Eat this, right now!"

She ordered, handing a pill to Gestran.

To say Lynn was exasperated with the Norwegian would be stating the obvious.

"You just ate a dextro cupcake, for goodness sake, regurgitate it!" At the same time, trying to call emergency services on her omni-tool

Gestran was now at least looking slightly alarmed

"A what now? Um, ok if you say so."


He takes the pill and swallows it.

"Umm, Is something supposed to be happening? because I don't feel aUUUUGHHHH"

he projectile vomits directly on kenec.
