[ Shepard's not sure if he's been given a costume that's too small, or if they're just designed to fit the way they do, but either way, the material's straining across his shoulders, and Shepard shifts uncomfortably. Besides that, it isn't actually terrible -- it fits better than the BDUs on the SR-1, anyway.
The ears are a different matter. He keeps reaching up to scratch at them every so often, threatening to dislodge the latex, but he can't help it. He's one of the last jumpers of the afternoon, and he's practically bouncing in anticipation through-out dress-up to just before the actual event itself, grinning like a lunatic.
His tag reads Reckless Elf and when he finally makes the jump, his parachute flares a brilliant red behind him. ]
[ date auction ]
[ Unlike some of the other jumpers, Shepard shows up to the auction still dressed in his elf costume, ears and nametag and all, joking and laughing about how it's not quite like doing a drop from a space ship.
His expression changes, though, when he actually readsthe description written for him, looking affronted for all of five minutes before he promptly decides to go and badger acquaintances into bidding on him. If you know Shepard -- or even if you don't -- odds are good you might find a heavy hand clapping you on the shoulder and the Commander leaning in with a grin, looking like he has a very important question he wants to ask you. ]
