thievingrumorsKasumi generally didn’t get up before 10 and it was very clear that she had just rolled out of bed shortly after sending that e-mail to Shepard. Her hair was definitely tousled and her hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants were disheveled. She was wearing the standard issue black socks. They worked well enough for her and were quieter than the sneakers she had been given.
She had the ship she’d stolen under one arm as she approached the door to Shepard’s room, “So early…” She knocked carefully on the door. Of course she could have just entered the room through the same means that she’d stolen the ship but… she was worried that might jar the ship and something may have come off of it or broken.
She was brash and could be tactless but she wasn’t a total jerk. Kasumi definitely took care of items that she had stolen. Broken items didn’t sell well and she rarely had the time to fix ones she wanted to keep.
She examined the ship carefully while she waited for the door to open. It was a cute little warship. It looked more maneuverable than well armored and the mini canons looked pretty light-weight. The front had a pretty little mermaid attached to the bow, it was surprisingly detailed for such a little ship. The ropes were real twine and taught where they needed to be. Even the crow’s nest was finely detailed. It looked like there was a tiny bottle inside along with some ropes and maybe mini binoculars. Kasumi was enamored with the details.
It was very clear some care had been taken when putting this together.

“And no, they didn’t die. Wrex was busy on Tuchanka leading the Krogan. He’s surprisingly good with diplomacy,” she pauses again as she makes a face, “for a Krogan anyway. Ashley was on Horizon and none too happy with you for working with Cerberus and Liara became the Shadow Broker. They all ended up joining your crew again when you were going after the Reapers.”

Date: 2012-05-20 10:30 pm (UTC)What if this Shepard went back to her time and was able to fix everything? After seeing how bad the Reapers were, Kasumi had serious doubts that would be a possibility.
The woman forced a smile, “I’m not actually on the Normandy. I’m working with the weapon we’re building to try to obliterate the Reapers. Obviously we’ve got them backed into a corner now. Not sure how we’re going to manage it but we have a big old mystery weapon on our side.”

Date: 2012-05-20 10:37 pm (UTC)Shepard bites back the urge to ask how bad, but after seeing Sovereign on the Citadel, she can imagine how bad things really were.
She just hopes the Alliance got their act together before the Reapers returned.
"Don't worry," Shepard says, returning the smile. "I can't really speak for the future me, but the me as I am right now is pretty damn persistent. If I've got to go there and take the Reapers out solo, I'll do it. So don't worry about a thing."
It might sound disingenuous, but if there was anything Shepard expected in the future, it was that she would die in the line of duty. And maybe that's why she was willing to take the risks others wouldn't.
"I think I'm done learning about the great and wonderful future for today," she says, lifting herself to her feet. "But feel free to stop by anytime. I think it'd be nice to listen to someone reminisce about the past... or my future, in this case."
She extends a hand out for Kasumi to shake.
"I'm glad we got to meet."

We didn’t really have all that much time to go over all your old war stories either.” She smiled brightly, “Though, I guess you don’t have much time to reminisce when everyone is asking you to run their errands and do their grocery shopping.”
She chuckled softly, “It is still so weird to say that I’m meeting you when I already know you.” She crossed the room to the door and her footsteps could barely be heard against the floor. She would have to modify some shoes to fix that.
“I’m right down the hall, stop by if you ever want to chat. I’m sure I’ll have something interesting to talk about.”
With that she slipped through the door and was gone.
