Thirty-Sixth Hope [video]

Oct 16, 2011 22:14

[For once in the greek tragedy that is Hope's life, he turns on the video feed on purpose. His face bears a fairly solemn expression. He takes a deep breath before speaking.]

Uh.... hey. A lot of you know this already but... my name's Hope Estheim, and I've been on this ship for over a year. I've made a lot of friends here, and I've even found a ( Read more... )

A blessing and a curse. Mr. Estheim, I hope I don't strike you as overly opportunistic but we could use an ally like you.

[no beating around the bush; she doubted he'd appreciate political posturing anyway]

[Oh he recognizes that voice. There's only one person on this ship who calls him that too. Still he's cautious. The last thing he wants is to use his magic as a weapon. Especially as a weapon on someone else's behalf.]

Yeah? And who's we?

Re: [AUDIO/ENCRYPTED] 11ady October 17 2011, 07:29:18 UTC

Preventer. As you may already have heard, we're a department of defense and intelligence bureau aboard this vessel. Our specialty is non-lethal tactics. It's a pity we don't have any medics on call for emergencies.

[if he doesn't wish to be a weapon, there are other ways to help; they just need help. period.]

[He sighs. She's hit his weak point and he knows it.]

I'm done getting involved with fighting, but... if you really need someone to heal your hurt guys... I.... I guess I could do that.

That's a compromise we can make. Sometimes the hospitals won't take our wounded and having an alternative means of medical care would be a great relief.

[Politics again. The police had threatened her with as much. If she stuck her nose in one of their cases, her agents would have hell to pay and nowhere to go.]

Re: [AUDIO/ENCRYPTED] good_breakfast October 17 2011, 18:49:37 UTC

.... If that's the case, then I'll try to help. Just remember that not even magic can work miracles. It has limits.

And I'm not promising to join preventer either. I'm just helping people who need it.

We only seek to take what's offered, Mr. Estheim. Also, we don't ask with no intent to reciprocate. Should you require compensation in any way, shape, or form, simply ask and we will do our best to accommodate.

Re: [AUDIO/ENCRYPTED] good_breakfast October 18 2011, 06:11:59 UTC

Don't worry about that. Just... let me know if you ever need me, and I'll do what I can.

But remember, magic is quick and easy for stuff like cuts and wounds, but I'm not a doctor. You should think about hiring someone who knows about that kind of stuff.

Re: [AUDIO/ENCRYPTED] 11ady October 19 2011, 06:31:08 UTC

Noted. Thank you, Mr. Estheim. And again, please don't hesitate to ask us for help should you need it.
