[parricida]

Who: Elim Garak and YOU
Broadcast: Network wide at first; to the Red Fish ship afterwards
Action: In his room
When: December 28th

[A wholly pleasant smile appears on the network. While the face it's attached to is . . . reptilian, to say the least, at least the smile is friendly. Prominent ridges outline Garak's cheekbones and where a human's eyebrows would be; his black hair is neatly combed back from his face.]

I wonder . . . while the planet below is quite charming, I find myself rather disliking the temperature. And while I can amuse myself with embroidery, I find myself wanting nothing more than a good book. Do any of you have recommendations? I'm somewhat familiar with Terran literature; a friend of mine even says I have a favorite genre: realistic fiction, if that's any help.

My sincerest gratitude to any who might help.

[A beat. He cuts off the feed and adds to the members of the Red Fish:]

Coil. Might I ask you to stop by when you've a spare moment?

[oop! a face like that has his attention hooked in an instant. when his video feed connects, Garak will have an absurdly pretty man peering back at him from the screen. absolutely too symmetrical and flawless for a natural human, and all the wrong colors--rosy lavender eyes and blue-black hair.

and oh he smirks wide.]

...Looks like someone forgot to fix their face this morning.

Why?

Ah, has an intellectual joined our fleet?

[--says someone else on the other end of the video feed. he's unusually pale and very good looking, but at least passes as your standard, run-of-the-mill human.]

Or are you more in it for the art?

video; shhh im not super late to this

[ ok ... she's definitely never seen someone who looks quite as ... well, strange as you, Garak, And that in combination with such a ladylike hobby is ... ]

Embroidery? You ... know how to embroider?

[ ... well, it's a little surprising to her ]

Couldn't agree more. There's not much for reading material, though. I suggest hibernation until it's all over.
