video; because we have all the things to say
[Dorian's been practicing, it took him a few tries to get the hang of it, but he's become quite proficient now, at least to introduce himself properly. So behold, your resident perfectly coifed, charming, jet-setting fop...just look into his eyes and you'll know it's all true.]
While I've been charmed through and through by those of you I've met personally, I've not had the opportunity to mingle with everyone [unfortunate, really] so I suppose an en bloc introduction will have to suffice.
[Until he can get around to the insuperable task that is rubbing elbows with everyone.]
I am Dorian of House Pavus, how do you do? [He would bow, but since that's not feasible he simply inclines his head.]
On to the meat and potatoes, yes? My duties aboard the flying cataclysm, or at least one of them, include researching and cataloging medical issues. I suppose the official title is Research Technician.
[Take note. He does sound leery.]
Not that I'm the poster child for what's considered proper, but I think it should be a matter of record that while, yes, I am a skilled researcher [why be humble, someone recognized this] my area of expertise resides within the realm of the arcane, thaumaturgy, crafting new forms of magic, and so forth. I am a Necromancer, by specialization, not a Spirit Healer and so when it comes to maladies I cannot say that I am familiar with the intricacies.
[He could point out the hallmark signs of the Taint, but that is about the extent of it.]
Not that it should get in the way of studying and filing information away for the proper healers aboard this ship. [At least until he's polished up.]
While we're on the subject, interviews may be unavoidable, but, considering my druthers I'd much rather conduct them at a distance. If some of your maladies are catching, I'd rather not be in the line of fire as I make for a terrible patient and those around me would be living in miserable despair. Nobody wants that, I can promise you.
[And someone would have to take care of him, because he's simply hopeless when he's sick!]
Now with that out of the way, quick question. Do we have any green thumbs among us, those with a natural skill for gardening? [Dorian reaches off screen and shakes a vial of seeds labeled 'elfroot' at his audience.] I have a limited number of healing, regeneration, and lyrium potions that are bound to run out...but specific plants [in addition to a handy mage] can be crafted into these useful little potions and I have many of the ingredients for this and more. Certain tonics should come in handy, resistance and armor should be useful to some, yes? Sadly I have a checkered history with dirt so in order to make this possible I'll need to know if we have gardening space and if we have gardening types among the crew. Not certain what I can offer you as compensation for your help, but I am open to discussing arrangements.

I like that.
video;
[He's just so generous!]
video;
Because I wasn't gonna.
No offense or anything, but that'd be a hassle.
video;
video;
I like it. And you. You're pretty cool, dude.
Re: video;
I'll take that as a compliment.
video;
Good, cause it was one.
video;
And I thank you!
video;
Seriously? Oh man! That's so great! You're even more awesome, dude!
video;
[He would bow, but that doesn't necessarily work out for him with the video attached to his wrist.]

video;
We're from space. Aaaaaaaand yeah we look like robots but dude do not call some of the other guys "robot" because they wig out.
video;
video;
... 'cept we're alive and stuff. So uh. Alive Machines?
video;
[Oh the bizarre thoughts you just put into Dorian's head.]
video;
[wait what -- but wait there's more important questions.]
Ooo! Hey, what's a trebu... treb-you-shay?
video;
A type of weapon...a siege engine. Like a giant slingshot with more moving parts, levers, and gears.
...though maybe a golem would be more accurate, they are alive...but they aren't exactly machines...
video;
What are they?
video;
Beings made of hewn stone or sheets of metal, they are forged with lyrium in order to give them life. They are quite devastating...physically and without a control rod they have free will.
video;
That's what Riptide keeps saying.
Whoa... rock people? You're serious?
video;
They make an excellent point.
Very serious and they are quite fond of crushing things.
video;
You think they could crush the ship? [And without even waiting for a response--] How big are these things?
video;
Hm...possibly. [They could crush a lot of things, though unless this ship is protected in a way that makes it uncrushable, Dorian couldn't see why not.] I'd say they stand around eight feet typically.
video;
[SIDESWIPE THAT IS NOT HOW YOU ASK, THAT'S NOT EVEN... WORDS.]
Whoa. Something that small could take out the ship? Dude. Your world is wild.
