[catamite]

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

[Tek glances over, seeming for all the world to be entirely done with everything here, and unappreciative about being bothered.

but... well. this stranger appears interesting enough to at least prompt him to give him a rather obvious up-and-down look while toggling his modulator, and the results of that inspection are enough to get him to actually answer.]

Yes. ...Yes it is.

[lord_wizard]

[The answer earns Tek a smile in response, the kind precision crafted to charm yet still full of a preening confidence that says he know exactly how pretty he is]

I don't know why it would have been so hard to give us a few more options for this farce. Or at least some color in the fabric. [Which is probably more a priority for Felix than it is for Tek]

[heresyandlace]

[and it's probably because Tek is quickly gathering the notion that this man's ego is probably in no danger, that he allows himself to stare a little longer at the other's sorry excuse for an outfit, eyebrows raised.]

Oh my... that is a shame.

...You're going into public dressed like that, mm?

[lord_wizard]

[He wilts a fraction, but it's as much melodrama as it is actual annoyance.]

I don't have much choice in the matter, unless I'd prefer to sit around here and twiddle my thumbs. You seem a bit more fortunate in that regard.

[heresyandlace]

It does seem that way, doesn't it? Though, I doubt fortune has much to do with it.

[he doesn't explain exactly what he means by that, however. instead, he toggles the view of his modulator off, so he can see how exactly how it's been wronging this poor soul.]

[lord_wizard]

I've gotten in the habit of suspecting things like this to be personal, I suppose.

[Even if he can't be seen wearing it, Felix is most comfortable in his own clothes, which are now the only set he owns - the long coat of burgundy and gold, offset by a gold waistcoat and the white of his cravat and ruffles of his shirtsleeves peeking out of the cuffs. All of this on top of the vine tattoos on his hands, the heavy rings on every single finger, and four sets of gold hoops in his ears. The illusion even covers up the strange coloration of his eyes - pale blue and bright yellow. Not the kind of person that blends into a crowd, as much by nature as it was by design.]

[heresyandlace]

[well... he chuckles a little to himself when he sees the vast difference between the man's actual appearance and what the modulator is projecting.

cruel fate indeed.]

...Goodness, you would think that this thing would get tired from toning all of that down. You've really given it an exercise, haven't you?

[lord_wizard]

Not as much as some, but I do try.

[Which he counterpoints by flashing Tek a brilliant smile, full of a not inconsiderable ego and charm. His own eyes give an appreciative and slightly surprised inspection as he does the same. My, my, my...]

I could same much the same for you.

[heresyandlace]

[oh, he can give flattery as well as take it? that's a few more points for him, then. and Tek preens just as much, gladly accepting the little compliment.]

I do try to make a habit of being difficult to my overseers. It would be criminal of me to let them off easy.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix laughs lightly, further amused by the similarity in their priorities. Talking to Tek is a lot like flirting with courtiers back in the Mirador: both parties are mostly in it for their own ego but trying to to make that completely obvious at the same time]

I'm not a stranger to being a professional thorn in the side for the high and mighty. Though in this case I'm not sure who we'd be rebelling against, or how.

[heresyandlace]

[oh good, he isn't some mindlessly-obedient fop. he gets another point in his favor, then.]

Oh, I don't need to be able to see the faces of my captors, and I certainly don't need to know their names, to disagree with them.

Besides, if being pretty can be considered a form of rebellion in any case--sign me up.

[lord_wizard]

True. It's a strange compliment to be told the sight of your face might cause riots.

[He makes an annoyed gesture at the collar]

Still, I don't see why they have to overcompensate so much.
