Or heart failure. But it seems to be everyone's answer to almost every other problem. I'm not sure I'd be surprised if those "gods" let it work like that.
Yeah, I'd be fine with it. I only need someone to work with. or I could play dead if someone else wants to demonstrate on me. I've got experience with the dead thing and all...
[har har. Maybe after a while all you really can do is make bad jokes about death, which you then have to explain. If he ever sees Yuri again, he'll have to apologize for criticizing her jokes.]

I'll take any help I can get, especially if you've been formally trained!
But... what do you mean, human-only? I wasn't offered training on anything else...

Wait, wait... pre-contact? Does something happen? Should I be worried?
I trust you on the first-aid probably more than I'd trust... most people I've been with lately. I think for them it devolve into a weird
cluster of legs and humiliation or
yeah you're perfect. please.

just aliens
[There are a million possibilities running through his head right now, and he isn't sure if he should be afraid, be calm, or go full-on amazed fantasy fanboy mode. Luckily, he has more tact than most of his friends.]
You have to tell me more! I mean you don't HAVE TO have to but that's so amazing! What are they like?! Do they know us? We don't do something stupid, do we?

[ there's a delay before she responds, probably because there's some sighing and making herself comfortable involved. a note to self, she figures, should be remembering to not mention aliens first. ]
Humanity doesn't get along with every other race in the galaxy, but after we got over our war with the turians, things got a little better. If you ask most aliens, we've done plenty of stupid shit, though. I'm not sure I necessarily disagree, but that's how humans are.

[And there's a delay before his, too, for entirely different reasons that may involve both awe and an innocently wild imagination.]
When will all this happen? The "contact," right? And what does a turian look like?
That's so cool...

[ Sometime in the evening of 21st, he'll receive an audio message from McCoy. When he speaks, his voice sounds a bit more weary than usual. ]
Otonashi, I hate to have to do this to ya, but I'm gonna have to cancel our sessions for the next four weeks.
[ He supposes that he does owe the kid an explanation, though. So, after a brief pause, he adds, ] You know what happens when someone's sign's in power, don't ya?

[ It isn't visible through voice, but he looks utterly disappointed. ]
F-four weeks? Are you sure..?
[ He thinks on it, tapping the communicator with his finger. ]
Only a little. Everyone wants to be around you, right? A friend of mine tried to combat it... by trying to make himself look really ugly.

2157...
I don't know what year it is in the living world, but
Do they have cool alien jokes? OH do you know one? I bet they're awesome in a fight if they're like dinosaurs!
[ This is so silly but it makes his inner fanboy so happy. ]

[ There's a sarcastic snort on the other end at that last bit. Somehow he doesn't think that was very effective. ]
Yes, you're on the right track. When a person's sign's in power, they become more sexually desirable. Even people you never would have considered before look much more attractive than usual.
I've got this kind of effect on me right now. [ This next part almost draws a sigh from him. ] So you understand why I can't meet you in person twice a week. I doubt you'd be paying attention to half of what I had to say anyway.

[ It makes sense when laid out just so, why, in spite of the somber subject matter and determination to help the aforementioned friend avoid unwanted advances, Otonashi felt pangs of curious desire to move closer to the blond model. He had passed off as Kise sounding too much like someone dear to him in a time of need, or loneliness, or selfishness--
It's almost relieving to hear someone knowledgable confirm the reason it had taken so much willpower to grapple with. Almost, if it weren't also so frustrating. ]
I'm not like that! I wouldn't stop paying attention because of some curse or... w-whatever this is!
[ He can only sigh, though, realizing too late that maybe an outburst isn't the answer. ]

It was 2186 by my count. Turian jokes are terrible. You don't want to hear them.
[ no one should ever be subjected to garrus's sense of humour. and this is coming from the woman who's dragged him all over the galaxy for months. she's sure they don't all think they're funny, but her experiences aren't good. ]
But they do fight exceptionally well; they're all military trained. The one on my crew is one of the best snipers I've ever known.

Still, I don't want to force you in that position. [ He sounds relatively calm, despite being so disappointed about this abstinence himself. As stern as he is with Otonashi most of the time, he really does like him, and he enjoys being able to teach him about a subject that they're both passionate about.
He wants to try to make things work, if he can. ]
Maybe we could improvise. Do a video lecture or something.

... Alright. I'd like that. Same days, same time?
[ Though an imperfect solution, he seems to understand. The arrangement at all is a favor, so he happily accepts what he can get. ]

[ But Shepard. What if he does want to hear them. ]
All of them? That's impressive... Are Turians the only ones?

[ nope. shepard is putting her foot down on the garrus-joke thing because it's just not okay. sorry, otonashi. ]
No. And of course not. Asari and salarians have an alliance with the turians, forming a Council that rules over most of our known space. Volus have a long-standing agreement with the turians because the only thing they're good for is banking and information and acting superior to everyone. Quarians are from the edge of the galaxy and they created the geth. There are also drell, elcor, hanar, vorcha, and batarians, all pretty easy to find. Of course, that's still not everyone in the galaxy.

[ It takes him a literal half an hour to reply. Either he short circuited or he was taking notes. ]
Commander... that's a lot to take in, but I made a diagram in the dirt, maybe you can tell me if I have this?
[ Speak now or be subject to his drawing skills and imagination, Shepard. ]

Talk to you then.
[ Ohh, will they ever. Festival, clinic, out and about... the possibilities are endless with Otonashi's level of activity. ]
