Video; always something that needs doing
Who: Anders and Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Bishop, if desired
When: Thirty seconds after being shuffled onto the ship
[The feed turns on and it's clear Anders has barely just arrived on his new ship as there's still some confetti in his hair he has yet to brush off or pick out. He's clearly on the move, however, as the hallways of the Bishop move behind him on his way to the Med Lab.]
Right, I need to take some inventory: there was a greenhouse on the Iskaulit that held some medicinal herbs, if anyone knows, has it been maintained? [Maker knew if Hermione were still around, he'd really had yet to even check who was still around.] And, similarly, there was a smaller herb garden in the cargo bay of the Twin Roses, is that still there?
[He pauses as something occurs to him and he gives a wry smirk.] And, in my haste, I shouldn't be so rude, my apologies. I am Anders, a healer from Thedas. I imagine my store of potions from before is long gone, I intend to get started on more. If anyone has need of any potion in particular, please feel free to speak up, I'm more than willing to make whatever it might be.
[Assuming he knew how to make it or something like it, but his skill with herbalism wasn't something he took lightly.]

Now that could end up being very useful. Are we talking about things like disease, or is it more broken bones?
If you like the loud and the strong, you'll like Looma.
no subject
I know a few people that got that description, so I'm sure I'll like the captain fine.
I can cure and heal both, as long as it's not death, I can care for it.
What do you do on the ship, Mantis?
no subject
[He tilts his head to one side.]
On this ship? My designation is personnel support, which I have chosen to interpret as one of a therapist. Poking around the minds of others comes naturally to me.
no subject
[But what Mantis says draws Anders' curiosity and also hesitation.]
You're...a mind reader?
no subject
First person who saw through that since I arrived here! And yes. It is my greatest talent. [He waves a hand dismissively.] Little that I use it on a day to day basis anymore. My reputation is something that I cultivate carefully.
no subject
I definitely appreciate that. <Mindreaders are often nothing more than con-artists back where I am from, but you hear tell of a few legitimate ones here and there and the idea has always seemed rather...invasive. If you're respectful with that ability, then we'll hardly have a problem, I suspect. I am curious, though: is it an ability you learned, like a magical art, or something you were born able to do?
no subject
[He makes a thoughtful noise.] Born with it. Like any good talent, mine started at a young age.
no subject
[He'd made some good money off his healing once upon a time, before he'd stopped accepting money for it. People would always pay what they thought was worth a true miracle.]
Is it somewhat commonplace to have such abilities where you'e from?
[Sorry for the round of twenty questions, Anders just liked to learn new things, especially when it came to seemingly superhuman abilities.]
no subject
Not at all. My case is rare and exceptional for that fact alone. Being able to use it the way I did caught the attention of all types.
[The questions are honestly kind of nice. Freedom to explain how he came to be so powerful also means freedom to brag.]
no subject
[Some apostates went their whole lives never being cornered by a templar for their magic, but they were the exception, not the rule. Even Hawke's magic had been found out eventually.]
I hope you didn't suffer too many injustices for your gifts.
no subject
[He tries to quell down the memories that rush through his mind. He didn't like thinking of it in terms like 'injustices' much. It made it sound more helpless than he had really been.]
Some easier to deal with than others. In the end, I had my freedom to do whatever I wanted.
no subject
[He offered a brief smile, his mind quickly shying away from that particularly loaded topic. Now wasn't the time.
He offered his hand.]
I think it'll be a pleasure working with you, Mantis, it's already been a pleasure meeting you.
no subject
Likewise. You have the friendly kind of personality doctors should have, given how most people meet them.
no subject
Yes, well, I find having a friendlier personality makes people more at ease. It also makes people pay more attention when things need to get a bit more serious.
[He'd startled more than one assistant in the Darktown clinic by snapping at them when he'd needed something done and they hadn't responded fast enough.]
That said, I will let you have your time back, I'm sure there are things we both need to do.
Oh my god, I thought I tagged back to this ages ago! So very sorry.
[He crosses his arms loosely.]
I can imagine you will be kept quite busy. Hopefully, not with my getting hurt.
No worries!
[He'd seen it a few times personally. Sometimes for the better and sometimes not.]
Hopefully not! But should it happen, please feel free to call me, my abilities are yours if you need them.
It just hit me this is probably a good place to end the thread, too. XD
OF course. Good day, Anders.
