jaye shepard, urdnot wrex

WHO: Urdnot Wrex & Jaye Shepard
WHAT: Wrex is hungry.
WHERE: The Mandalay lobby, Bayside Buffet.
WHEN: July 10th
RATING | STATUS: Some violence, maybe bad words. | Ongoing

Wrex puts away the primitive omni-tool that he used to communicate with Shepard. As he does so, his stomachs growl loudly. He maybe pissed off at whoever kidnapped him, but right now he needs some grub. The average Krogan eats up to fifty pounds of food per day, and Wrex was much bigger than the average Krogan. So, the first priority is to get some food, and then kick some ass.

He walks out his hotel room, looks in both directions, and then makes his way down the corridor. A door to another hotel room opens as he does. Some humans look at him in shock, but when he growls at them, they quickly shut the door. He finds and enters the elevator, and clicks the Ground floor button.

When he gets off the elevator, he doesn't have to look around for the restaurant that Shepard had described. He just follows his nose. Humans make way and whisper as the large Krogan passes by. After walking through the Bayside Buffet entrance, a nervous looking man approaches Wrex. He tells the Krogan he has to pay before entering, but Wrex easily backhands the fool out the way. Then, he makes way to the actual buffet. Wrex grabs a bin of food simply labeled shrimp and begins to dump the contents in his mouth.

When he completes gulping down the shrimp, he simply tosses the bin behind him. Then, he looks down the long line of all the food in plenty and smiles. Maybe Vegas won't be so bad after all.

A single Krogan on Earth was exciting enough, especially before aliens were a thing, but two? Shepard was trying to figure out how that would work, exactly, even while she headed out of her room and headed to the buffet to meet Wrex. A few weeks back, she thought that she and Jack would be the only ones from their universe who got dragged into this mess. Then Garrus, Grunt and Arya showed up. And now, Wrex.

Avoiding the lobby and casino floor because of the flowers, Shepard got to the food court. It was easy to see that Wrex had arrived already. There was a man on the floor, clutching his face. She helped the guy up and told him to get medical attention, then made her way over to Wrex -- grabbing a tray off the pile. "See you've made a start on the food," she commented, walking up beside him. "What did that guy say to you, by the way?"

Wrex looks from Shepard to the food then back to Shepard again. He shrugs. "He got in the way of me in the food," as if that was explanation enough. Then, he deftly flipped a piece of meat in the air and gulped it down in one bite. He was finding that human cuisine was actually tasty. His only experience with their kind's food was on the Normandy, and that had been military rations.

"So, you want some of this," Wrex pauses to read the food label and mouths the words slowly, "pork chops? They're quite tasty. Reminds me of varren steaks."

"No thanks, Wrex. I'll stick with breakfast," Shepard remarked, a grin on her lips even while Wrex helped himself to the pork chops. "You kidding? It's much less chewy than varren. Who knows what those things feed on out there." She grabbed a plate and put some eggs on it, then some sausage, bacon and tomatoes. "So did you break your door down? In your room."

"Ha!" Wrex barks out a laugh. After watching his old commander, he takes Shepard's lead, but instead of grabbing a plate, he grabs a tray and piles food straight on it. "Do you think I can't figure out a door handle?" Then he smiles before saying, "Although the door frame may not ever be the same." He waits for Shepard to finish gathering her food to lead them to somewhere to sit. "So, what's going on Shepard?" Wrex's tone takes on a serious note. "I know I'm on Earth, but how, why? Who?" The last word is a growl.

"Do you even have door handles on Tuchanka?" Shepard queried, though it was mostly said in jest. She knew how much of Tuchanka was damaged or broken, and they had only just started the process of rebuilding when she'd left. "Grunt broke his door down. I still haven't checked whether it's able to be fixed or not."

Leading them to an empty table, Shepard set her tray down and sat. "I honestly can't tell you, Wrex, because I haven't got much info myself." She picked up her fork. "We're all being brought here by an unknown. No indication of whether it's a who or a what. And this is Earth, but 170 years in the past, at least for us."

"Yes, Shepard we have door handles. Most of them are underground in bunkers where the nukes couldn't reach though," Wrex told his friend. After Wrex arrived at the table, he looked at the small chair and it's back support, looked back at his tail, and then sighed. He sat his tray down on the table and borrowed another chair from a nearby table. He positioned both chairs together with the fronts touching. He nodded his head, satisfied the makeshift seating will support his weight, girth, and tail. Then, he sat, giving Shepard a look that dared her to say something about his weight or size.

"As for Grunt," Wrex continued the conversation, "I guess that's what you get when everything you learned came from being created in a test tube. As for Earth, I figured we weren't in our time." He pulled out his large smart phone that had been on him when he woke up and held it up. "Haven't seen non-holo displays on omni-tools in a while." He put the phone away, ate a piece of meat he thinks is called Canadian Bacon, and then asked quietly, "Do you think there's any chance it's the Reapers?"
