in which Shepard farms.
Shepard clicked on the little icons on her screen. After a few moments she clicked on them again. Satisfied with the result she went back a screen then clicked on a different icon. After waiting for it to pull the requested page off the extranet, she started clicking icons again...a lot of icons. Garrus came in to the room quietly. It was half way thru the night cycle and he did not want to wake up Shepard. He got past the bathroom wall when he realized Shepard was sitting at her desk in front of the computer. She had her chin in her hand as she typed methodically on the screen.
"Jane? Could you not sleep." He asked coming behind her.
"Hm no just spending a few moments to finish up my farm, oh then I checked my restaurant, and then I had to tell my thugs what to do in my mafia, and my pirates too. Then I check on my zoo. And my pet, then I was tired of what my pet is wearing so I had to by new clothes. And clean her house. Then I joined the group 'can this pickle get more fans than Nekyia Corridor?', and then my farm could be harvested again. Then I check on my other restaurant and my island. Oh then my fish. Then I went and checked on what my friends are doing. You know people I went to basic with and a few of the kids from the orphanage, and some of the crew. Then I posted on Edi's wall. And replied to Jokers post. Now I am checking my farm again. Then I was going to bed..." Shepard looked up at Garrus, who shook his head.
"Jane," Garrus sighed, "you should have been in bed asleep hours ago, you have a ground mission in the morning. You have to be up in like three hours."
"It's that late already!" Shepard exclaimed, "I only meant to stay up for like thirty minutes I didn't think it would take that long to farm." Garrus felt his mandible flutter in surprise.
"You did more than just farm." He pointed out. She looked abashed.
"I guess I just lost track of the time. But I really need to finish harvesting these before they wither. Could you take care of it please for me?" Shepard asked biting her lip.
"Go to bed and straight to sleep and I will." Shepard nodded and heads for her the bed. Garrus sat down at the computer, quickly he taped the things on the screen to finish so he could join Shepard in bed. Muttering about the thing you do for a loved one.
Four hours later Shepard alarm went off. She frowned realizing that Garrus was not there with her. Slipping out of bed she looked over to see him sitting in front of her computer.
"Garrus?"
"Yes?" Garrus looked up from the computer. "What time is it?"
"Oh seven hundred. What are you doing?" Shepard asked as she pulled on her armor.
Garrus looked sheepish. "farming." he coughed slightly while adding "I also sent you a friend invite..."
Short one, but could not help it. whipped this one up... while waiting for my pumpkins to finish so I could harvest...I should really be in bed myself :P my husband often get on to me for either reading fan fiction or 'farming' when I should be asleep.
