[ Everybody settling in alright? Or at least, as well as can be expected?

Everybody enjoy their cherry tasting legumes?

Adrien had intended to send this out as a text, but he was still getting used to the new TABs and upon realizing his mistake, couldn't be arsed to change it. The doctor usually looks harried, it might have something to do with his perpetual scowl, but he's looking particularly yanked through a knothole backwards at the moment.

All the way down to the fact that he's obviously showered and made an attempt to trim his beard, only to wind up cutting himself. Please ignore the tell tale little dots of paper stuck to his face at the moment. The blade was dull, okay?! ]

It dawned on me, as these things do when one is slicing their face open with a razor, a question that probably should have been asked a week or so ago.

Those of you in the crew, who are capable of, or posses magical abilities and of a temperament to help, would you have a spell or a ... [ here he gestures with his hands, he's not trying to be offensive, magic is just not something his world has ever been exposed too and he's only aware that it can be vary from person to person. ] ... that would purify water?

Thinking if that ability exists, we might give it a try on those purple streams and see if we can remove some of the nasty side-effects and restock our supplies.

An official meeting involves a few drinks. Something that'll put hair on your chest and kill the nerves in your throat.

[ Like the bottle of 4:90 Black he had handy. He gave a chuckle at the name options. ]

Put the two together, take out the 'Mr.'.

There's more than one? The mages I know, it wasn't so much healing through magic as it was protecting.

[prorenataa]

I don't drink. [ Adrien said, tone level as he made a mental note about the name. ]

Ever gone through an inter-dimensional kidnapping before? It tends to open up a wide universe. You may find there are beings capable of magic like the mages you know but are from entirely different worlds.

[pubcrawl]

It's not for everyone. [ Just like what he did behind closed doors wasn't for everyone either. ]

No-pe. Looks like this is my first inter-dimension-whatever you just said. Anything to do with dimensions usually involve demons. I hate demons.

[prorenataa]

[ What Adrien was willing to get up to behind closed doors with other consenting adults was an entirely different subject. It was just alcohol that had a bit of a stick up his ass. ]

From what I understand of them, they're not particularly pleasant creatures. [ He agreed, inwardly wondering how many planets would categorize anyone wearing a CDC uniform as a demon.

He was willing to bet it was a long list. ]

Only thing to really remember is to keep your mind open. You'll find that a lot of the rules and norms you're used too aren't as hard fast or clearly defined when species start to mingle.

[pubcrawl]

Have you ever met one? You don't want to.

[ Nasty buggers.

Please, doctor. Please excuse him as he can't help but laugh at the open mind comment. They really hadn't officially met, this little human has no idea who he is or how laid back he is. ]

Oh, my mind's open. It's wide open. Rules and norms, been a while since I had anything to do with that.

[prorenataa]

[ Adrien figures that technically speaking he can say yes to that question. There had been a couple of demons on the Neheda crew. However, he also suspects that question was a little rhetorical and in this case he had never met any from this man's world (he's assuming at least) so it seemed best to just keep his mouth shut.

As for the laughter. The doctor bears it out with a neutral expression, letting the man get his gauffs out. It didn't sound cruel, so he wouldn't take it personally.

Besides in situations like this, it wasn't a bad thing to be able to laugh.

When Bull had settled down and spoken once again, Adrien glanced back to the TAB before giving his head a slight nod. ]

Then you're already ahead of the game.

[pubcrawl]

I have to be. It's part of my job.

[ The Inquisition, the Ben-Hassrath. If Bull weren't ahead, well, they would be screwed. ]

[prorenataa]

That's usually my line. [ He muttered, more under his breath than as part of the conversation.

In the next moment, he re-addressed the incredibly large figure looming on the screen. ]

Aside from being careful with magic and don't cross purple streams, any other sage advice?
