‡1st Treasure‡

[totallytrustworthy]

[The video feed sparks to life as Chloe taps repeatedly at the screen, offering the net a view of a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and bright eyes, wearing a stylish biking jacket and a few layers of leather necklaces with various little charms hanging from their ends. The city's skyline is visible behind her from a particularly high vantage point, and it's likely that she's found herself a resting place somewhere atop the roof of one of the taller buildings. She wiggles a few fingers lazily in greeting before speaking up with a distinctly Australian accent.]

Evening, everyone. Chloe here. New arrival, in case you haven't noticed. All right, somewhat new. Got dragged into this mess a few days ago and decided to take my time getting settled; never know what's out there if you don't bother to look first.

I was a treasure hunter back home-- one of the best in the business, I might add. Problem is I'm getting the impression that there's not much treasure to be found here on Alcatraz, and I'd prefer to stay sharp while things are relatively quiet. So here's the deal: if you need something of value-- for a price-- I'm more than happy to lend a well-trained hand and fetch it for you.

[She moves to shut the call down before adding, thoughtfully]

And in the meantime, if anyone out there knows a place that serves good drinks, I'm all ears. After all this I could sure as hell use one.

[She still has no idea how to type on these things, so have a shot of a woman with pointed ears leaning against a tree.]

Well met Chloe. It's always, well, not nice, but certainly interesting to meet another treasure hunter. I haven't found any good dungeons to explore either, but if I do find one worth raiding, I'll keep your name in mind.

[Her party is lacking a rogue at the moment.]

[Dungeons? Well met? She sounds just like the undead knight from the other day, but less...well, intimidating, really. Which is welcome when it comes to the whole not-human thing.

Chloe offers an appreciative little nod in return.]

Depends on the hunter, more than anything else. Don't worry, I'm not the sort that makes a habit out of shooting my partners in the back. [Not without good reason, anyway.] More trouble than it's worth in the long run.

[It's her slender youthful features, offsets the fact that she's the daughter of the God of Murder and has personally accounted for a depopulation of dragons, demons and other assorted monsters wherever she goes. Also, half-elf ears provoke less ear envy.]

That it does. I've managed to keep my own back relatively free of daggers, but much of that is fortune's whim. [Mostly due to 90% of her betrayers not being all that bright] I agree, constant betrayal has a way of discouraging repeat business.
