text; displaying as being from "Jane Shepard"

[petridish]

Seeking:

1. A job more regular than the off planet missions. I can code and fight but I'll try almost anything.


2. Someone with biotics, telekinesis, or similar who's willing to teach.


3. Any name books saved from the Moira library.

That one could be tricky. I've never thought of crab names before.
But I could try giving you some ideas. I don't have any books, though.

[petridish]

Ideas work too. Something gender neutral that you could name a person, and nothing cute or with "crab" in it.

[polyphobic]

Pinchy.
How much of a real name do you want?

[petridish]

A real name. Would you call a person Pinchy?

Also, it's not actually that pinchy, or at least not with people.

[polyphobic]

Then you're opening it up a lot wider.
Charlie or Alex can be used for either gender.

[petridish]

Those are pretty good.

[polyphobic]

Hopefully you find something you like.

[petridish]

Yeah, I figured I shouldn't just keep greeting it like "hey" instead of calling it by a name forever.

[polyphobic]

Where did you get it?

[petridish]

We used to be on a spaceship, and every so often the machine everyone came out of from their worlds would spit out other things too. So the crab came from that.

[polyphobic]

That must have gotten crowded.

[petridish]

It was a surprisingly big ship.

[polyphobic]

They don't always stay feeling that way.

[petridish]

Especially with the huge synthetics around.

[polyphobic]

The what?

[petridish]

Robots.

[polyphobic]

There were robots?

[petridish]

They're still here. Scroll back on the TABs.

[She refers to Riptide as only the most recent example.]

[polyphobic]

It's starting to feel as if I'm waiting for someone to come and tell me this whole thing's a joke.

[petridish]

It's not that funny.

[polyphobic]

It didn't have to be a good joke.
