‡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.

Oh, I am no stranger to those of a more mercenary persuasion. 'Tis more that Flemeth is-

[No. Nobody gets to know that stuff.]

You can rely only on yourself. One cannot afford fondness, at best. More than this can be... Detrimental. That you understand this is refreshing, indeed!

[Chloe catches the pause, but doesn't press it; better to wait until they're on more familiar terms.]

Good to know I'm not the only one with survival on the mind, yeah. Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from you at this point.

So tell me, what does a mage do to keep herself entertained in this place?

[tis_disapproval]

Aside from find amusement in Alistair's activities? Though, I've not done that for a while...

[Her own interests... So few ask about those. And opportunities to express them can be rare. Morrigan has to genuinely think about this for a moment.]

I like...

[Hmm...]

If not able to learn, then I wish to experience. 'Tis one thing to have read of ocean spray, but another to feel it against one's skin. My abduction, however... This was not long ago and in my attempts to force escape, there has been little time for exploration. In truth, I am as in need of it as you.

Ooh, just imagine the kind of damage two of us could cause.

[Honestly, considering the similarities between them, Chloe's surprised that Morrigan's already tried to get back home. In truth she hasn't even bothered to consider the prospect, much less hope for it.

She raises her hands in an exaggerated shrug.]

Well then, what are we waiting for? I say we schedule an excursion, provided you're up for a little adventure.
