i'm writing down cal's stats, & i want to know what game info/decisions you find useful for me to include.

[1stspectred]

cakes for when you die and get brought back but there's something wrong with you and everyone can tell

[1stspectred]

the biggest adjustment of getting used to her new body (even more than the amount of implants in her) was losing her face scar. the big jagged line that etched across her face had been her only companion from akuze. waking up and finding it gone, had been one thing that put her closer to the line of calliope might really be gone, but c.ommander s.hepard is needed

[1stspectred]

okayy but the new modded hair is actually a vibee

basically i was looking over the protective prompts and the hero prompts and it hit me that like. the unbridled angst and vibes of the whole “post-battle” scene, or a scene set after an attack or a disaster or smth, needs to be ADDRESSED!!! and so y’all get the full weight of my angst today, sprinkled with a lot of teamwork and selfless and sacrificing vibes. i hope you enjoy! do NOT add further contributions to this list!!! i will curse your potato crops!!!

DIALOGUE PROMPTS.

“ can you hear me? hey… [NAME], can you hear my voice? “

“ come on… wake up. please… please wake up… “

“ oh! oh, thank god! i thought we lost you… “

“ hey, hey… look at me, okay? you gotta get up now. you think you might be able to walk? ‘cause they sent for back-up, and if they find us… we cannot let them find us. understand? “

“ go, go! save yourself! i’ll buy you some time! “

“ we both know i’m not walking out of this one. it’s okay, alright? it’s okay… just… do me a favor, will you? will you make them pay for this? i don’t care how. but… don’t let them get away with it. “

“ hey, how badly are you hurt? can you move? you think you can walk? “

“ if you can’t walk, i’m gonna have to carry you, alright? we can’t stay here. “

“ hey, look at me. i’m slowing you down, we both know it. it’s okay. i’ll hide and wait for back-up; you get yourself out of here. “

“ you’re gonna need to climb up on my back, you’re slowing us down with that injury. “

“ will you quit talking like that?! i’m not leaving you behind! “

“ what the hell are you doing here?! i told you to get out of here! “

“ you’re shivering… hey. hey, listen to me, okay? everything’s gonna be alright, i promise. here… take my jacket. don’t worry, i’m warm-blooded. “

“ i’ll get blood on your shirt… “

“ hey, don’t you dare close your eyes, you hear me? you die in my arms, and i’m gonna stick the dry-cleaning bill for this shirt in your coffin, that’s a promise! “

“ i know we almost died just now, but… am i the only one who’s hungry? “

“ we need to get you to a hospital… “

“ hey, come on now… you’re okay. you’re good, right? “

“ i must be hurt pretty bad if you’re being this nice to me. “

“ quit playing the martyr. we’re not leaving you behind. “

“ you know, i hate to be the negative voice, but… did… did we just lose? “

“ look at me… i’m not gonna make it. it’s okay, i’m fine with that. but… you can’t stay here. you’ve got a good long life ahead of you. and you’re smart, too; too smart to wait around here and waste that long life. so you get out of here, and you go live that life. live it for both of us. will you promise me you’ll do that? “

“ back-up isn’t coming. is it? we’re on our own, right? “

“ can’t sleep, huh? it’s okay. it’s probably all that adrenaline and shock; i can’t sleep, either. wanna keep each other company? “

“ i don’t give two shits about the back-up; i’m just happy you’re alive. “

on a kind of previous note, watching k.illjoys and playing me2 at the same time, i personally see cal & miranda's relationship v similar to d.utch and d.elle s.eyah. i hate everything you're a part of, but we have a common enemy now so there's no choice. maybe you're more trouble than you're worth but you get the job done better than anyone. vvv this ↓

[1stspectred]

there's something sooo interesting about cal trying to convince miranda she's not a tool others can use (despite being highly distrusting of her, and not yet liking her). meanwhile, she's falling deeper and deeper into depersonalization (especially in me2) and solely focusing on how she can be of use to the greater threat with her personal feelings, needs and even morals aside.

the first thing c.alliope buys in me2 is the n.ormandy model ship and a fish

[1stspectred]

calliope making some renegade choices in front of miranda to keep her on her toes (have her wondering if cal came back Wrong)

[1stspectred]

simple icons for now but i think they work

[1stspectred]

HER HANDS RAISED A BIT IN A PLACATING MATTER. she did not mean to startle her, and she could understand the reason behind the tensions. still, calliope prevented herself from drawing any more attention to it. " if you need anything, my door is always open, " she offered tilting her head to the side with a slight smile. she could more than sympathise with the second part. herself often felt misplaced after the beacon's vision... saren... her being a spectre...

her smile turned a bit rueful at liara's following words. a part of her mind still thought of the normandy as anderson's command. but the engineer in her couldn't hide her enthusiasm. " i grew up on ships and stations, but she's a special ship, " calliope agreed, offering a sliver of her past. " it was co-developed by turians and humans, " she explained further to liara. " makes you wonder what we could do if we all worked together, doesn't it? "

it would be difficult to miss the uncertainty that penetrated the atmosphere within the Normandy; she did not blame the crew for their suspicion, even if it had left her by herself in the back of the infirmary as not to bother anyone. it was lonesome, but the feeling was one that Liara was well accustomed with after so long working archaeological digs in remote regions.

" oh! " looking up from her work at Commander Shepard's voice, Liara nearly jolted in surprise - perhaps her nerves were a little fried from the recent events, but she was loathe to admit it.

" I appreciate that, Commander - I am fine, albeit a little disoriented. " a gentle smile curved her lips. " I have been on many spacecraft in my life, but the Normandy is unlike any of them. you must be proud to call it yours. "

LOG #01 . LIARA : @tempesttragedy , SC.

THERE IS AN UNSENT QUESTION AMONG THE CREW. could they trust liara ? they think of matriarch benezia, and wonder if this is some kind of secret ploy. one of saren's way to take them down from the inside. even the council had questioned her. but they hadn't seen liara trapped to protect herself. nor the geth and krogans saren had sent after to kill her if she didn't comply. besides, calliope knew a thing or two about people forming opinions of you due to your parents' legacy. in every ship of her entire navy career there'd been someone that either knew of or had served with one of her parents.

" dr. t'soni ? " it feels a bit strange to use her title after liara has seen inside her mind. but calling her by her first name seems unprofessional. " i wanted to check how you were doing. i figure it must be quite the change from your research. " a military ship, and on world missions must be a very different everyday life from archeological sites. and not to mention the revelations about the protheans and the reapers, that changed her life's work.
