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

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...?

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

You've picked your spirits up, I see.

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

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?

[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.

What an image.

[And he chuckles softly.]

But those were not the services I was proposing. I am not nearly that desperate.

Hey, it's not desperation if you're talented and resourceful- it's a pragmatic business opportunity.

But then what kind of services are you offering?

[Yep, locking this down, because he doesn't want to get busted for ILLEGAL SMUGGLING and who knows who can see this stuff.]

Simply put, I need assistance smuggling things back to the Three Twins. A good pair of scissors, some razors...and cosmetics, as well. Those that wish to help are given one free session of my time with the smuggled goods, be it a haircut or anything else they may want.

[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.]

[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.

Services?

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

I like it.

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.]

[Dorian smirks a bit, and fusses with his mustache a little.]

Scissors, razors, cosmetics from Adsum, where they revel in vanity. I've obtained a rather decent cache. Those that help are entitled to one session with me.

[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.

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.

My dear Varric, you say this as if illegal activity was commonplace for you. I'm shocked and appalled.

[Are you buying it, Varric? He's not really trying to sell that one.]

It would be appreciated. And what would I owe you in return, hmm? Or should I just make it up to you, that sort of thing?

[So much illegal!]

Wait. Are you...setting up a salon or something?

[He nods.]

Something of the sort. It would appear I have a better grasp of proper grooming than some. I suppose it's as much for my own benefit as everyone else's, but I hope to have something that everyone can make use of.

[After all, this is Inquisition. This means LIPGLOSS FOR EVERYONE.]

Hm, good point. We are running a bit ragged for a group that's apparently being watched for entertainment.

[He shrugs lightly]

Give me a few hours, I'll be able to get some of that stuff on your list.

[his perfect eyebrows raise! ...this is not what he was expecting at all.]

Oh.

You mean the vanity items...

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

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

[Varric cackles.]

I got a few stories about the Merchant's Guild I should share sometime.

[He's all smirks. He loves being useful.]

You know me. You know my style. If you see something tailored in my size, grab it for me and we'll call it even.

You couldn't pay me to wear one of those awful jumpsuits.

Services? Don't leave us hanging~

I've obtained most of it, but any donations are accepted, of course. I will let Ino know she can expect and incoming delivery, thank you.

[He chuckles.]

Forgive me, I was only having a bit of fun and hoping to get your attention.
