Aug. 12th, 2014 04:09 pmHello and welcome home, lovelies. I hope our last outing treated you well. To those new arrivals with whom I've yet to meet -- well, I suppose the point in introducing myself now is so that you can say you met me. The Marquis de Sade -- for the moment, at your service.
[ A cordial bow to the camera, all the same. But then he looks a little uncomfortable, but resigned. ]
I never thought I would be saying this, but it is time. Nearly seven years, I've lived on this ship -- a portion of that as an Inmate. I've written and sent pornography to angels, done battle with the undead but also enjoyed some lovely conversations with a few. I've fallen in love -- more than once. I've died. [ An odd pause. He frowns. ] I've even killed. Read books. Sang songs. Made a friend or two. Flirted with comely fellows, and found myself lucky.
Also unlucky on occasion. [ A little smile and wink. ]
The point is that in all those years, I've lived in relative happiness despite the chaos. I wish to believe I've become a better man than I ever was for even a moment in life.
...I'm also ready to return to living outside of the Barge. Yes, by the end of the month, I expect to have departed. I have arrangements to make first. Goodbyes to say. A severance package to negotiate. [ Smirk. ] While I believe there is much good I can do here, and have done, I also believe it is for others to look after Inmates, now, fond as I am of my current charge. I have the greatest of faith that the lot of you will take care of him for me, but as for myself?
I feel it's time someone looked after me for a while, and I've kept someone waiting for too long.
