29 Chimera Court, Tuesday night

[what_the_shock]

So, Kaidan didn't believe food could be exciting, and Miguel was out to prove him wrong.

Given his roommates, at least the meal should be interesting.

He'd made empanadas, chicken mole enchiladas, nopales, apple pie, and horchata.

It was maybe a bit of a mishmash, but damn it, he was going for exciting!

...maybe Mitsutada would add some sushi to the mix or something. Who knew?


[OOC: Open to the roomies and the one mentioned, though heck, if anyone wants to crash, go for it!]

"How's life been treating you this week?" Kaidan grinned. Liam was good people for a cop. "I was going to stop by your office later this week. Kanan and I were talking armor and he said your troopers have some neat gear."

[firstofitskind]

Hey, the cop thing was relatively new! “Better now that I’m back to the age I’m supposed to be,” he admitted. Being a teenager hadn’t been all bad, he supposed, and at least now he had some idea of what it was even like. “He said that, huh?” Eyebrow raised. He was well aware of Kanan’s stance on the Troopers.

[spectre_alenko]

"Right. I like having my current mass," Kaidan chuckled. "Yeah, we were talking about different galactic armors. Mentioned your guys wore some he was familiar with, and it sounded neat. Think I could get a look at it? I'm curious to see how the tech is different from the armor I'm used to."

And he really wanted to know what an Empire soldier looked like. For ..reasons.

[firstofitskind]

Yeah, that eyebrow wasn’t climbing back down any time soon. “Uh huh,” he said. “Sure, so long as whatever you’re planning, you leave the Island’s Troopers out of it,” he added with an easy smile. You didn’t spend years as a Companion Agent and leader of a Resistance movement without getting extremely good at sniffing out when people were Up To Something.

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan was innocent.

This time.

He shook his head, "Not planning anything. I've no interest in the Troopers themselves, just their kit, and I only want to look at it. Unless you have a spare or broken piece laying around that I could monkey with?"

Monkey with.. throw biotics at..maybe shoot at.. see what's effective, in case the Empire decided to send a legion after his friend.

“Not hanging around the house,” Liam shook his head. “But sure, stop by the station this Friday if you want.”

[spectre_alenko]

"Sounds good. I'll pop by Friday morning before I open the shop. Thanks for feeding my curiosity," Kaidan grinned.

[firstofitskind]

“Not a problem,” Liam said with a shrug. As long as the Troopers here were left out of whatever may or may not be being planned, Liam wasn’t too concerned. “Thanks for the chess game the other day, by the way.”

[spectre_alenko]

"Hey, it was a good game, even if you did kick my ass," Kaidan smiled, "I should introduce you to Battle Chess. It's an Asari game with ships instead of little castles and things. You might like it."

[firstofitskind]

“I’m assuming your game has improved a little since you were a teenager,” Liam teased lightly. “But yes, I would like that.”

[spectre_alenko]

"Yeah, teenage.. that time of life before tactics became a mandatory requirement of my life," Kaidan grinned, "It's definitely improved. I still prefer simulations to chess, but I'm kind of averse to war games just now."

[firstofitskind]

“Yeah?” Liam said sympathetically. Kaidan had mentioned being in the military, even without knowing the specifics of his worlds history, Liam could guess why such a thing might be an issue. But he wasn’t going to press. “We could give la’sha a try, if you’d be interested. It’s a Taelon game, the first game I ever played, actually.” And he’d won that one too.

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan nodded and shrugged at the question. "How's la'sha work? I'm always interested in learning new things, especially from other cultures."

[firstofitskind]

“Kind of a mash-up of puzzles and strategy, played on a three-dimensional matrix,” Liam explained.

[spectre_alenko]

"Huh," Kaidan mused, "Sounds fun. Let's give it a whirl sometime. Though I expect you'll kick my ass for awhile at that, too."

The thought amused him, but also, it was nice to have someone who enjoyed that type of game.

[firstofitskind]

"Possibly," Liam admitted. "But you seem like the kind of person who might actually get the hang of it," he grinned. "And it'd be nice to get to play again."

[spectre_alenko]

"One of our Ensigns used to make me play 3D Battle Chess with her, so at least I'm familiar with games of that type," he nodded, "It does sound fun."

[firstofitskind]

[ooc: and tiny phone autocorrect ate part of the game's name, should have been fuv'la'sha; guess it doesn't think much of alien words!]

"And much like you, I'm always interested in cultural exchange, so it's a fair trade for Battle Chess," Liam replied.

[spectre_alenko]

"I'm free most Mondays and Tuesdays," Kaidan said easily, "Might take me some time to code up a Battle Chess rig, but we can always start with fuv'la'sha." Digging in his wallet, he handed over one of the C.I.C.'s business cards, handing it over, "Contact info. Just give me a ring whenever you're up for a game."
