001 // too much time

[serpentis]

Who: DORIAN THE EXPLORIAN (Dorian Pavus)
Broadcast: Video, fleet-wide
Action: The Marsiva~
When: 1/21

[Dorian spends a fair deal of time poking around the ship before deciding to try out sending a broadcast. He's not entirely certain how he knows how to use the device, only that he does, and that almost unnerves him.

Still, his voice is pleasant, almost chipper.]

Well, if this isn't a curious little jaunt that I didn't exactly expect to take this afternoon. I do hope someone might be able to enlighten me as to where, exactly, I am...and when, for that matter. ...and where one might find passable reading material would also be appreciated.

[Sorry, but there's just going to be this demon popping up on the screen.]

You're on a ship and I'm afraid I can't help you with finding anything interesting to read.

[serpentis]

[Well, interesting, but not entirely surprising.]

A ship, truly? Curious! And who might you be?

[devilsinthedetails]

[Well, that's a pretty chill reaction. He can deal with this.]

Oh yes, a spaceship, to be more precise. The majority of us are on a number of smaller ones. I'm Belthazor and I would say I'm pleased to meet you, but I don't know yet.

[serpentis]

Well, if I were to meet myself for the first time, I would certainly consider it a pleasure. Take that as you will.

Dorian Pavus, most recently of...well, I suppose it doesn't matter now, does it? Most recently of whatever piece of metal I happen to be standing aboard.

[devilsinthedetails]

[Oh god, you're one of them. He thought he was vain, but you sir, you take the cake.]

I'll take that if I ever find a clone of you, never shall you two meet or I feel you will never be seen again because you'll spend all your time fawning over yourself and die of neglect.

[...how did you even think of that, Cole?]

You're on the Marsiva. I was there until recently myself, but I was transferred to the Wonderduck. I'm sure you'll end up on another ship with more people soon enough.

[serpentis]

I assure you, that should such a thing ever happen, either of me dying of neglect would be the last thing you need worry about. Quite the opposite.

[devilsinthedetails]

[He sighs and facepalms.]

That wasn't the type of neglect I meant. You're as bad as some of the demons I know.

[serpentis]

Truly? How curious! I'm not certain whether to take that as a compliment or be insulted.

[devilsinthedetails]

Most would take that as an insult, but you're a strange one. Not nearly as strange as me, mind you, but you certainly are trying.

[serpentis]

I don't think I'm overly strange. Remarkable, yes, and fascinating, with a fantastic sense of style? Also yes.

[devilsinthedetails]

No, you're definitely strange. [Says the insane demon.] It's too early to tell on the rest besides the sense of style. That I can confirm is being very generous.

[serpentis]

Well, I must say that you're quite the charming fellow, yourself.

[devilsinthedetails]

Oh, you have no idea. [He laughs.] I'm usually far more charming than this.

[serpentis]

Well, you'll have to show me sometime.

[devilsinthedetails]

When you get transferred to another ship, give me a call.

[serpentis]

I'll think about it, thank you for the offer.
