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.

[All replies will be in text regardless of responders' format and my font or lack thereof! She just prefers it; I reply from e-mail a lot on weekdays and font changing doesn't seem to stick.]

1. On-planet private contract securities. Think you can pack your baggage long enough to earn some cash?

2. All of the above.

3. Drop usage of the last name, and I'll help you with the first.

[petridish]

1-2. I'm not working with you.

3. I'm not using it in person, I'm just not changing it on here until I'm settled on something. Also, see above.

[squadgoals]

Offer's open, and it doesn't expire. But if not, maybe when one of your less-xenophobic moods strike you, you could ask Thane for a hand.

I don't think I'm asking for a lot, here. Just drop the last name. Or hell, just initial it. Go by JS.

[petridish]

Let me rephrase: I'm not working with anyone from your squad, past or present, regardless of species.

I'm not going by JS or Jane. I just only want to change this once.

[squadgoals]

Suit yourself.

You know there's no name changing fee, right? There's probably better ways to stick it to me other than confusing the hell out of people.

[petridish]

Wow. Make something I'm doing for myself all about you.

[squadgoals]

[This is an unwinnable conversation, and text is a bad medium for humor to begin with.

Especially for people with no sense for it in the first place.

There's several moments of nasty replies typed out and backspaced, before she settles on:]

Well, good luck.

[petridish]

[w h a t]

Thanks.

[squadgoals]

[A small win, then, is utterly acceptable.]

[polyphobic]

What do you want to name?

[petridish]

My pet crab.

[Also herself, which she's trying not to make more obvious than the thread with the other Jane Shepard above probably reveals.]

[polyphobic]

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?

[corrective]

What about farming, hydroponics, that kind of stuff? You interested in someone with those skills to teach?

[Keeper of the Library, front and center-- so to speak.]

I have yet to unpack the Moira's library from its pacdiscs. If you'd like to come by my apartment, we can go through the collection and find something for you.

I'm gonna take two guesses and say you're going to refuse any job offers from me.

[ And since the last attempt at training went so spectacularly well, Nihlus doesn't even bother bringing it up. ]

Anyways, names. Nothing with a 'J' to start with?

[ That 'J' thing seems to be a bit of a trend with Shepards so far. ]

[petridish]

A real name. Would you call a person Pinchy?

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

[petridish]

Is there a job in it or do you just mean learning for the sake of learning/eating?

[Her interest is piqued either way, but she's more focused on the former right now.]

[petridish]

Sure. Where are you?

private text

[petridish]

Both correct.

[No more Jane, no more same initials, wtf why is he helping.]

[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.
