Elysium Dormitories after the liberation, open to all

[Musse is nothing if not scrupulously attentive to her duties. As such, she is here to greet the new arrivals as they are brought to the dormitories. Although she is clearly a noble - her demeanor, bearing and method of speech make that obvious - she hopes that this can help to show that she, at least, is firmly on the side of the rebellion. She is here to greet them and to provide what assistance she can in feeding, assigning, and clothing the new residents, as well as helping assess their skills. If nothing else, she's been able to show her use by proving her knack for reading people's abilities and helping assign them to roles that would best suit them.]

Hail and well met. I am Musse Egret, and I'm here to ensure you are properly settled and cared for. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Flotsam Waterlogged Row, open to all

[Somewhat surprisingly, Musse is something of a wallflower in this place but she enjoys coming anyway. The unbridled joy of Corsairs celebrating, swapping stories, and engaging in foolish challenges with each other is special to her. She'd never seen such a thing in her life as a noble, a genuine affection, even love for one's peers and comrades. She always make it a point to come here after a successful mission and soak in the atmosphere. Still, if anyone comes by, she'll make sure to call out. Any moments in this place she can claim for her own are special, after all]

Elysium, Musse's room - private to Maomao

It's been quite busy with the new arrivals. Tell me your thoughts.

An excellent idea. What if we were to assign them as your guards for your next gathering. With some experienced fighters, you might be able to visit places that are normally too dangerous, correct?

[2mao]

I wouldn't mind being able to venture further out. [ Ironically, though, the last time she did that she was ambushed by people, not monsters. And kidnapped. Which started the chain of falling blocks that led to Maomao being here with Musse now.

Still, guards would prevent that from happening again as well, she hoped. ]

It sounds like a good plan. And even if one isn't as trustworthy as we'd hope, there would be others there.

I'm not keen on potentially endangering you with an entirely unknown detail. If we proceed with this, I want to assign guards to your detail who we know are trustworthy. Does anybody come to mind?

[2mao]

[ Unfortunately, the names and faces that come to mind as trustworthy are few and far between. ]

I know of a couple guards who we can trust, but I'm not sure how they would stack up against outlanders. [ In other words; NPCs. Maomao does have good rapport with the people who take on guard detail, both at the Vale of Flowers and in a couple places amongst the Crimson Corsairs, but when stacked up against outlanders... ]

[sapphirecontess]

Should I come along then? I have no desire to place you in a potentially dangerous situation guarded only by unknown individuals.

[2mao]

[ A small sigh of relief. ]

If you don't mind, that would be reassuring. [ Somebody could probably say something about the attendant needing the protection of their master, but Maomao has never once claimed to be even in the same vicinity as being able to defend herself. She knows where her talents lay - and it isn't in fighting. ]

Very well. You shall have your monster reagents and we can take the measure of our new arrivals together. Please prepare some tranquilizer rounds for my rifle. I will see that no harm comes to you.
