When in doubt, act petty and childish [Open]
Who| Shepard, and probably Pruna, Sandy, Duck, and Pillow Fort, and OPEN
What| Pillow Fort!
Where| PILLOW FORT IN THE TRIBUTE CENTER LOBBY
When| Last week or so of the Arena
Warnings/Notes| Pillow Fort, harsh language, possible description of drug use and/or arena doings, Pillow Fort
It took an enterprising mind to understand the subtleties of this art-form. There had to be balance, and tension, or your structure would collapse. Even the most durable of available materials was squishy at best, and you always ended up wanting another inch of length on the roof, another few grams before supports collapsed, or bent. And nothing, nothing would just stand there and hold itself up.
In the end, they’d resorted to thumbtacks, hammered with a shoe or pressed in, to hold up the bedsheets against the walls. Even so, it was better not to lean too close to the stolen couch cushions on the opposite side, or the whole left wing might come down with a series of pops and pings. Well, it was probably fine, it wasn’t as if this were some kind of permanent arrangement, after all.
What? What is she doing? No, not doing, it’s all done.
Shepard has built, with a little help, a pillow fort.
Well, it’s more than just a fort, it’s a castle, an edifice! It took up nearly the whole of the Tribute Center Lobby with a riot of bedsheets, pillowcases, safety pins and couch cushions. Calling it a mere hidey-hole would not do justice to the thing. It’s art. It’s filled with pillows and snacks and safe dark places closed in away from prying eyes. Oh, and Shepard too. She’s an adult, after all, and this is what grown-ups do.
It’s got a door big enough for anyone to crawl right in, and a boldly written sign that reads “Abandon Hope All Who Enter Here” with “bring snacks” scribbled along a corner.

She made to put the cap back on her bottle, then reconsidered. One more for the road. And another just for the way life was.
"Suffice it to say that what you've seen out of me so far could be accurately labeled as a remarkable exercise in restraint. Whatever we couldn't see of the Avox's behavior was probably something a little more drastic than threatening to give Claudia a new hole to breathe through."

"I don't think the stylists have felt so threatened as since we started using tributes from other worlds."
And even if she liked Claudia, it was more important to keep Shepard happy.
"She hasn't tried pressuring you on the pants issue anymore has she?"

She's got no reason to lie to Azula or anyone else about this: here as at home, Shepard's worst crimes were all a matter of public record.
"Anything else you want to know my thoughts on?"
no subject
"I'll take my leave then, and long for the day when I actually have something you want so that I may shock everyone who knows me by simply giving it to you." The tabloids would surely have a field day with that one if it ever came to be.
