fresh alien meat

[unimmune]

WHO: OPEN
WHAT: Tali is new and very confused
WHEN: mid to late August
WHERE: VARIOUS




a:

[Tali's head was spinning. She had just walked out of the fourth floor stairwell, and then... Her mind blanked. What was she doing again? She couldn't for the life of her remember. She knew it was going to drive her crazy until she remembered where her train of thought went, but as her mind cleared, she realized a few things.

She had no idea where she was. But she did know. Somehow? It was a school, a human school, but how did she get here? They had just stopped the Collectors, and Shepard was planning on turning the Normandy in to the Alliance, so how....?

And why did she feel like she knew this place?

Secondly, she felt....hot. Not unusual, for one that lived her life in a suit, but as she looked down, ready to adjust the internal cooling, she gasped.

She wasn't in her suit. ]

Keelah! My suit!

[If you see an alien in a school uniform running around in a panic, please help her?]


b:

[After finally discovering her suit in her locker, Tali spent far too long thoroughly decontaminating in the shower private secret nurses shower bathroom, only to head straight to the nurse's office. There was no way she wasn't going to sick out of this. She needed to start antibiotics and immune boosters, immediately.

And, sure enough, if you come into the nurses office anytime the second half of the month, you'll probably see the strange looking suited alien there, sneezing behind her mask and sounding congested.]


c:

[surprise me! Tali can be found exploring the school, getting the hang of things, and awkwardly trying to figure out human food.]


[ooc: here's my permissions post with a little more info on her appearance! feel free to ask questions!]

No-- No, it's alright. It's not your fault. [It sounded like no one really had an answer. She put her hand to her forehead, trying to process all of this.]

Have you met anyone named Jane Shepard? Or someone from a ship called the Normandy? [Because that's her next goal. She needs to find her friends. If she got pulled here, did that mean they did too?]

[moraloutrage]

[He feels bad that he can't be more helpful for her. She must feel so isolated here!].

Ah... Bo, I am sorry. I have not met anyone related to either of those names in these halls. [He knows that Normandy is a place, but it doesn't seem like she's referring to anything related to Earth.] But I shall commit those names to memory, with very vigilance!

[Ishimaru can't see Tali's expression drop anymore, but it definitely does. She had expected she wouldn't be alone, just separated from them, since she had been with them all just before.

She didn't like that, but she would...manage. Like she always did.]

If you find them, let them know I'm here? [If they remember her. Or aren't from some alternate version of their world. Keelah, the different versions of the same planet had her worried, for sure.]

[moraloutrage]

[Ishimaru wants to help in any way that he can. So he nods along diligently at her request.]

Of course! That would be the first thing that I mention if I meet such a person! Please, do not worry about a thing! I will pass along the message that they are being sought by... by...

[There's a long pause before he awkwardly continues.]

I must apologize. Have you told me your name?

[unimmune]

[Oh! Tali didn't even realize. In all the chaos of them meeting, she really hadn't introduced herself, had she?]

I-- don't think I did. Sorry. I'm Tali'Zorah vas Normandy. But just Tali is fine. [She knows it's long, but it's important in her culture to identify but your ship name!!]

[moraloutrage]

[Being stuck somewhere without your breathing apparatus can do that to you! In any case, Ishimaru listens dutifully to her name. It is certainly a type of name he has not heard before, and quite the long one! But he can respect that, and he can respect her preferences.]

Very well then! Tali-san it is! [Just combined with his own cultural preference.] I will commit your name to memory, and I will be sure to keep my eyes peeled for anyone you may know!

As for me, my name is Kiyotaka Ishimaru. Please, feel free to refer to me with any shortened version of my name that you may find comfortable! It is a pleasure to meet you!
