Apothecary Diary #1

[2mao]

Greetings Corsairs. My name is Maomao - an apothecary working out of Elysium. I've met several of the outlanders for health check-ups, and I'm open to treating any injuries that need looking at, though my specialty is in medicines and poisons.

The reason I'm speaking up is because I'd like to collect more ingredients to experiment with. Rare plants and herbs are always welcome, but more pointedly, I'd like to try aiming for monster parts. As for what parts, I imagine the most likely to be useful would be organs, or any part which a monster uses to channel ether.

I can pay... [ A pause. ] ...not handsomely, but fairly, for anything you can bring me. Of course, I'll also just take donations. These experiments will, naturally, go on to benefit the Corsairs as a whole.

Oh, and if you find any plant monsters, just bring the entire thing. I'll find room for it.

Alright. I'll see what I can get.

Oh, um.

How intact would you prefer them to be?

[The man's weapon of choice is a bigass hammer.]

[2mao]

In pieces is fine.

For crushing blows... I suppose as long as it's not pulped it should be good to work with. I'm likely to crush things myself in breaking down ingredients, but you don't want to end up having various parts mixed together, like leaf and stem.

I'll see what I can do, but precision has never been my strong point.

Hmm, maybe if I had a partner...

[He's just thinking out loud, not asking Maomao to go fight monsters with him. It's hard to tell, with his voice's generally pretty flat affect.]

[2mao]

You could try asking one of the guards to accompany you. I'm afraid somebody like me would only slow down the operation - I don't know how to fight and my magical skills are nonexistent.

We'll each stick to what we're best at then, shall we?
