[ The feed turns on and there's a smiling face pictured on the screen. While Dorian might not be the most comfortable with all this technology, he's faking it until he makes it. That's the only way he knows how. ]

Hello, out there! For those of you that aren't aware, my name is Dorian Pavus. For those of you that are— [ he smiles, oh so charmingly ] I'm positive it's lovely to see me again.

Introductions aside, I do have a motive for coming here today. I know some of us had a rather... [ and he's putting this so lightly ] unfortunate trip down to Oros and are still feeling the effects of it. Or, perhaps even unrelated ailments may be weighing you down. Whatever the case may be, I am here to offer my services.

[ Ahem. ]

Of a sort.

[ Leaning out of the frame for a moment, he comes back with a small try of a few potted plants and differently colored vials. ]

I've been doing a bit of additional research with the plants and such from Oros and those here aboard the ship. Some results have been... interesting. [ He taps the cork of a vial containing hot pink liquid in it. ] This one in particular was quite something.

[ Not that he's going to share what happened but suffice to say it was something new and interesting for him. ]

At any rate, my fellow travellers, I have a request among my offer. First, there are tonics available to those who need them for minor aches and pains, sleeping issues and so on. I'm a healer by no means but do know enough of it [ his hand lifts and a tendril of blue green mist curls around his finger before disappearing into sparks ] to get by.

Secondly! And perhaps a little more importantly, these. [ A gesture to the things in front of him again. ] Some are untested and I'm not positive what they'll do, so, I wanted to cast my net a little wider and see if there were any fellow researchers or those of that ilk to try some of these tonics and plants to... [ he trails off then just shrugs with another easy smile ] Well, just see what they do. If you've any interest at all, do be in touch!

<Of course. Which samples have already been tested? And what properties have you already observed?>

[Ax is not actually a horticulturalist. Actually, he may or may not have failed that class in school. But Dorian doesn't need to know that.]

Not many, I'm afraid. I can only do so much on my own. [ He gestures as he speaks because he can't not. ] As with most experiments, some have been good and bad. My aim has been to create a sleeping draught, a general purpose "cure-all," [ Something akin to an elfroot tonic, but attempting to explain that to others has netted looks and questions he just doesn't wish to deal with any longer, so. ] among a few non-ingestibles. I know from experience that mixing herbs can produce results one never aimed for, so I am not entirely positive what some may do to certain body types or systems.

[Ax's stalk eyes just kind of... swivel quizzically. Andalite body language is weird.]

<Why those in particular? I am not sure that any plant would have such universal applications.> [what are your scientific credentials mister]

[curled]

To which do you mean?

[ He is a mage of many talents. Those are his credentials! ]

We've a particular plant where I come from that is in nearly everything. Not to mention used for anything from healing all the way to [ ahem ] recreational purposes.
