driftfleet | open action post

Who: Felix and OPEN
Broadcast: None.
Action: Throughout the fleet, Felix is basically going to different ships to gather ingredients he needs to make some of his treatments.
When: Throughout the day, today.

Note: Basically, it's okay to say he's where you need him to be when you need it. If possible just tell me what ship you're on in your reply somewhere. If you want to interact with him towards the end of the day, please note so because at that time he'll be a little more worn down but still his chipper self.

[The augment is ensuring that he is able to stand and walk around, at least for a while, but it isn't completely masking all of his symptoms. He still feels dizzy throughout the day, or senses the Blight creeping up on him.

He knows he isn't going to die while here, but he would like at least to be able to manage his symptoms a bit better. Eventually, he gets it in his head that he should try to make some of his powders here. He starts by trying to find out if the Heron has what he needs first by going through their supplies, but finds only part of the ingredients.

A quick inventory search and he realizes that the ingredients are placed throughout the Fleet.

For a moment, it seems almost like a pointless scavenger hunt, but then he remembers what Natasha said about how they try to think of ways to get you to interact with others.

Throughout the day, he finds himself on many of the ships here, seeking out their open supplies to see if he can gather what he needs. He has to go through proper channels at times, and others they just give it to him without a fuss. Still, he finds the whole process exhausting.

That doesn't stop him from being friendly with everyone he sees. In fact, he seems set on making as many allies as he can.]

I'm sorry you didn't make it home then.

At least... there are people here worth knowing? [Said cautiously because he doesn't know enough about Fenris to know if that will be comforting.]

I'm not.

There are many people here worth knowing, and my life is exponentially better here than it was back in Thedas.

Then I'm glad. [He seems a little relieved to think of it that way.]

I would be dead, if I were still in Thedas. It's been... interesting to be able to walk around with only a little trouble.

Hmm, Dorian said as much.

...Only a little trouble? [Is that concern? Maybe?]

[He nods at that, acknowledging it without dwelling.]

That's why I'm here, actually. I'm hunting down the ingredients I need for my treatment. The augment makes it so I don't deteriorate to the point I was back home, but I still feel dizzy every once and a while.

I checked and I was told I could find some of the things I need here.

It's pointless without a good mage to bind it all together, but I can always pester Dorian for help if it gets too bad.

Ah. Is it our lab you need? [He nods in the general direction of it. ] Asteffiel may be able to help you, if you can get any sense out of him.

Thank you. I'll be sure to check it out.

[For now, though, he's still pretty curious about Fenris.]

What do you do for the ship?

I'm one of the security officers. I look after the weaponry, use it should we ever be under attack.

Are attacks common?

No, there has just been the one. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.

[Felix nods at that.]

I should probably read up on what to do if it does happen again.

Do you have any suggestions?

What augment have you been given? That, I find, is often a good start. You will know where you are most needed on your ship.

I have a civilian one for now. I think I'm meant to be a counselor eventually? Not very helpful in an attack.

You can still learn from others. I believe there has been talk of teaching each other how to function in other positions. To make us more prepared for future attacks.

That would make sense.

Doesn't the augment make it easier to learn those sorts of things?

The things it is designed for, yes. Things that it isn't...they seem a little more tricky, but not impossible.

I suppose we'll have to learn the old fashioned way.

[A smile] Oh the horror.

[Fenris makes a soft 'heh' sound.]

Some of the people on the Fleet would no doubt be horrified by the extra work. Some are used to lives of excessive convenience.
