002 // from ten in the morning, we are honest til nine

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian Pavus
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: If needed, Adsum
When: TONIGHT!

[Dorian smiles a bit, secretively, and leans back in his chair, kicking his ankle onto his opposite knee.

He looks relaxed, and...his mustache is waxed. And he's wearing eyeliner with wings sharp enough to kill a man.]

I have a business proposition, for anyone interested. It's simple work, but I cannot offer payment in money. I can, however, offer use of my services.

[And...yep, gonna leave that there and smirk into the camera.]

[He stares a bit at this screen]

And if we're not into mustaches...?

[serpentis]

Have you ever tried to grow one? A good mustache can really set off someone's face nicely.

[wilder]

[No because his aging is frozen at the age RIGHT BEFORE you can grow decent amounts of facial hair. But like hell he's admitting that depressing fact]

I'll pass. It'd just look like a red caterpillar on my face.

[wolfuncaged]

[Yeah, he's not going to make any comment about those services, Dorian. ]

You've picked your spirits up, I see.

[serpentis]

It would seem that there is an entire moon dedicated to prancing about like an overstuffed peacock.

[And because he's certain no one can speak Tevene here, he doesn't bother encrypting the feed.]

It wouldn't do to let myself mope for overly long. Bad for the complexion, you see.

[It was half truth, half act. Dorian knew that no matter what happened, at some point pretending to be carefree meant that he actually forgot his worries. The bravado and bluster became him, after acting it for long enough.]

And I take it you have been lifting your spirits, as well, from the bar to your lips?

[wolfuncaged]

So you are in your element.

[There are bonuses to being the only two people who speak a certain language on the Fleet, after all. ]

And recapturing smugglers and thieves. That works wonders, too.

[Self medicating with violence and alcohol, always the best plan for anything.]

[why, hello there good sir. your proposition has successfully attracted the attention of one absurdly pretty man. good work. he smiles as the video feed flips on, lavender eyes narrowed to sly little slits.]

Go on.


[...really, he has no idea what this guy wants or has to offer, but it sounds like fun already.]

[serpentis]

[Well, Dorian will always accept more attention, and it helps when the other person is always easy to look at.]

There's a new face- I don't believe we've met. Dorian Pavus.

[He encrypts the feed.]

I'm looking for someone willing to help a small-scale smuggling operation. In return, they get use of me using the smuggled supplies on them. A fair trade, and one we can all benefit from.

Well met. You may call me Tek, if you'd like.

[and--yep, he likes this guy already. entrepreneurial and a little bit sneaky.]

And the arrangement sounds interesting... though the payout does make me wonder. What exactly do you mean by it?

Since, I'm sorry to say, not all of the smuggled goods in this area interest me.

[intoxicants aren't very appealing when you can't get intoxicated.]

Services?

You can't say something like that and not elaborate. That's absolutely criminal.

I like it.

[He smiles.]

I had a feeling you might be interested. It's no crossbow, but...I suppose I stick to my strengths.

I'm looking to smuggle cosmetics and razors and other such tools from Adsum. Have you seen some of these people? Dreadful. This is nearly public service.

[merchantprince]

No crossbow can compare to Bianca. I wouldn't even bother. [Seriously though. He won't equip ANY OTHER BOWS. EVER.]

Oh, smuggling? Is that all it is? Got me all excited for nothing.

I got a guy, I can hook you up real easy.

[ She's ignoring the actual content of this post to say: ]

Dorian, I do love what you've done with the eyeliner.

[serpentis]

[INO WHAT A DARLING]

Thank you, Ino. Good to see that all my effort and years of practice haven't gone unappreciated.

[And then he smirks like he's got a secret.]

I have a surprise for you- you can expect deliveries to the Three Twins shortly.

[ a hand to her heart, she blinks oh-so-innocently ]

For me?

Services? Don't leave us hanging~

Re: video;

[serpentis]

Intrigued, are you?

[He smirks into the camera, all too pleased with himself.]

[got_it_memorized]

I might be. It depends on what these services you're offering consist of.

[hopefullyyours]

... What sort of services are you even offering? [Mostly he's curious to see if he's reading the situation right.]

video; encrypted

[serpentis]

[He smiles.]

I'd simply like to bring a bit of the vanity home with us, as it were. Haircuts, proper grooming, things of that nature.

Re: video; encrypted

[hopefullyyours]

Is that a comment on my own hair? [Holding up his right arm as if to ward Dorian off, Komaeda nevertheless looks a little chagrined.]

[parricida]

With an opening like that, how can I resist? Goodness. What services are you offering, hm?

video; encrypted

[serpentis]

Well, I...suppose it would be almost like a barber, of sorts. The fleet could use a bit of special attention to grooming.

[parkinglotangel]

[His chin is kind of propped up on his hand, which is turn appear to be propped up on some bar. It's hard to tell where by the framing]

People might get the wrong idea, with an opening like that.

Video; encrypted

[serpentis]

And why would I ever wish to imply something other than the truth? What sort of man do you take me for?
