prompt: Well, technically the prompt was "Those days you feel like a mistake", but someone misread 'mistake' as 'milkshake' and I ran with it.


"No, let me up, damn you!" Jack tested the straps binding her to the med-lab table. "It's okay, I'm chill!"

Chakwas rolled her eyes. "EDI, Did you forward my request to the Commander?" She really didn't want to deal with this alone.

"Soooo chill. I'm like ice!" Jack's eyes glazed over. "Ice cream... Look, doc! See this?" The biotic tried to lift her hand, found it restrained, and gestured with her chin towards her arm.

With a long suffering sigh, the doctor walked over. "Yes, what is it?"

"See... see the red one?"

"Tattoo?"

"It's strawberry."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Strawberry flavor! So chill."

Chakwas covered her face with her hand. Some days it really wasn't worth getting out of the bunk.

"Just lie still, dear. You'll feel better soon."

"I feeeeeel fine. I've got strawberry, and the green one's lime, and I'm chill like ice. Imma... Imma... I'm a fuckin' milkshake!"

Chakwas hadn't heard the door open, but Shepard was at her shoulder, looking down at the ex-cultist with a long suffering expression.

"She found some new drugs, Commander."

"Figured as much." Shepard's raised one eyebrow. "I mean, who ever heard of a lime milkshake?"
