[He sobers as he looks down at the journal, deciding there can't be much left for him to do. When he speaks from there, it's quite naturally. Most who are unaffected would recognize the voice before the face, as the Marquis is at least 30 years younger than he was when he died. At least.]

This is rather a lovely dream, if confusing. The Bastille transformed to house so many of the comforts of home that I have missed, yet some are unexplained, some missing -- such is the work of the mind when one slumbers. My bed, my manuscripts, an unlocked door, a full bath...even a dog.

[the sound of a very young puppy barking in the background. Yes, Renate is affected too.]

For it to be perfect I should only need a comely beauty or two, bare as the day they were born performing all manner of lascivious acts upon my person. [He quirks an eyebrow.] I'm taking volunteers.

[...With more seriousness, he looks around.] I might have at least come to this fantasy with some better wine.

This contraption is very new, but I sense truths as one does within dreams, and I therefore know that others can speak to me. How scandalous.

(ooc: AAAH look at how freakishly young the Marquis is. Thank you, Photoshop. This is a test-run. The Marquis may request to de-age himself in the near future, in which case all of his default icons will be replaced.)

[It is not long before the Marquis emerges onto the main deck and...loses both his breath and his words at the sight of the sky.]

[Armand runs over to him.] It's beautiful, isn't it? [And scary.]

[And he steps back, mildly alarmed to be so hastily approached. Which should be his first indication that he's not dreaming but DENIAL, PEOPLE.]

It is...

[Armand draws back, but he's still grinning for a moment, then tries to act more serious.] Are you going to be sick or something?

Now that's something I wish I heard more often. Margot usually just says, "Armando, don't!" [He shrugs with a smile.]

[Armand goes from a blush to looking kind of green.] No! Margot is my big sister.

[He pats him on the shoulder.] Keep it that way, dear boy. It's nothing but trouble.

[Armand stares like he thinks the Marquis has grown horns.] Maybe. I'm supposed to go to university.
