open action post

[blightedson]

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.]

so late sry; windrose!

[He's inclined to startle (again) when he finds someone unfamiliar on their ship (again). But this time, the guy isn't wearing fighting knives on his back, and he's not looking too steady. He walks up to Felix, frowning a little, wiping his hands on the jumpsuit.]

Hey, uh, you doin' alright there, buddy?

[blightedson]

[Felix had been leaning against the wall for a moment, overcoming a wave of dizziness. He looked up at the man who approached him and offered him a wobbly smile.]

I'm as well as I can be.

I apologize for appearing on your ship without warning. I'm searching for some ingredients and an inventory list said I may find some of it here?

[He offers a list which mostly has the items crossed off. There a few left over, some basic plant based items that might be used to mix a medicine.]

I don't have much to barter with now, I wanted to come in person to see if something could be arranged?

[poetontheinside]

[He takes the list without even looking at it- instead, if Felix will accept it, he'll offer an arm to guide him to one of the bunks. He doesn't mention it, because he wouldn't want someone to call attention to it if he looked like that.

Once he's satisfied that Felix isn't just going to keel over on the spot, he looks at the list.]

This for some kinda medicine? 'Cause if so, I don't see a reason why we can't just give it to you.

[blightedson]

[Felix is grateful for the help and even more so when he says that he's willing to hand over what he needs.]

Thank you. For your help, and for the offer. That's a relief.

[poetontheinside]

Don't mention it, pal. [He hands him back the list, then holds out his hand.] Ray Kowalski. I can check out if we have that, square it with Polly, and you catch your breath?

[blightedson]

Felix Alexius. [He says, replying with his own name.] And thank you. I'll be right here.

[poetontheinside]

Alright, then, Felix. Lemme see what I can do for you. [He gives Felix a little clap on the shoulder, then walks out of the room.

He comes back a good 10 minutes later, carrying everything that Felix had marked on the list.]

So this is gonna cure what ails you?

[blightedson]

No, I'm afraid there is no cure.

It will help me manage it though. I thank you for it.

[poetontheinside]

So you gotta-- every so often, you gonna need that stuff? Seems like a pain in the ass.

[blightedson]

I might end up being, that's true. I think for now I was sent to find it to meet new people.

And it seems you're one of them.

[poetontheinside]

Seems like it.

You gonna be okay going home, or d'you need to, I dunno rest up or something?

[blightedson]

I should be able to manage.

Thank you, for your concern. It means a lot that so many have been so helpful while I deal with this.

[poetontheinside]

Nah, 's no trouble at all. [He waves his hand idly, shrugs and smiles] You need any more help, just lemme know.

[blightedson]

I will, thank you again.

[After a moment] I should probably head on to the next though. Any pointers for dealing with other ships?

[poetontheinside]

I don't think I've been here long enough to give you that kinda advice, pal. Sorry. [He smiles a little ruefully] Good luck.
