The Alchemist's Guild; I was a ward in their care. They made certain I was literate as well as able to fight.

[as well as doing wildly unethical science but we don't have time to unpack all of that right now]

I do! She's a good friend. I've escorted her when exploring ruins and clifftops to study stars from, and she's assisted me with research.

[headhunt]

( unethical science is just a mandatory part of alchemist guilds.

also karlach is just nosy so rip. )

oh yeah? what have you been researching?

[crystalrepose]

Some of them are personal things I'd rather not disclose here. But I also send back field samples that seem interesting; flowers, mostly.

And Zelda's helped me with things that need more than brute force to solve. She helped me forge a passport, twice.

[headhunt]

( DID SHE.

this is news to karlach and a very exciting thing to hear about her captain. )

guessing you're also an alchemist?

why'd you need her to forge documents for you?

[crystalrepose]

[Flatly:] No. I was not.

[About, uh, that unethical science...]

We needed to infiltrate one of the mansions suspected of trafficking. No one paid much attention to the cleaning staff, except whoever was hiring them. Though, that person didn't seem the slightest bit suspicious that the country of origin was spelled backwards.

[headhunt]

( her brain is ticking. )

you wouldn't be one of the new crewmates, would you?

[crystalrepose]

[Swerve around unfun successful!]

I am! I felt well enough to properly assist recently [read: no longer needed to be chased back to bed rest] though I'll largely be here on a temporary basis. I'm needed elsewhere, too. I'm called Miriam.

[She's the shorter one with rocks attached.]

[headhunt]

nice to meet you miriam!

didn't really introduce myself so i'm karlach. glad to have you onboard for however long you got.

probably means a lot to zelda too.

[crystalrepose]

Likewise!

Really? I'm always glad to help; this seemed like a practical step.

[Miriam's probably on bodyguard speed dial for a bunch of people by this point.]

[headhunt]

course! the crew means a lot to the captain

you just flitting around for now? feeling out the waters for crews?
