Still more departures after such long tenures. I'm beginning to think it's me.

It may interest not a single soul among my favored readers that I have taken to using the pool with greater frequency. It removes much of the strain from exercise, but my, do my poor muscles complain after such rigorous exertions.

...Especially when I could be enduring these little aches and pains over something much more enjoyable. Never has a libertine felt greater disappointment.

[Private to Rex Lewis]

I would like a word with you about our last conversation.

I refuse to believe that the Marquis de Sade has been having difficulty finding exercise partners. There truly is something wrong with this vessel if that is the case.

[HOW MANY TIMES IN YOUR LIFE DO YOU GET THE CHANCE TO TEASE THE MARQUIS? Not many.]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You and I share the same feelings of incredulity, cherub.

[truth_is_cold]

[He's way too happy that the Marquis just called him cherub. It makes up for the fact he's been hesitant to quote him since coming on board.] I trust your condition is improving?

[what_ho_jeeves]

I must agree. As far as water sports are concerned, I far prefer rowing to swimming. If I'm to get wet, I'd rather it be in a bathtub, what? [Bertie is so clueless and naive.]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I have a rather large bathtub, should the desire ever seize you.

Do remember to come in for a check-up so we can be sure there's no inflammation.

[He's going to ignore that last bit so hard.]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Of course, Doctor. [And since it's someone else checking him he might use it as an excuse to get a refill on his pills :|]

Old age can be a mean bitch. Or so I hear.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Old age is hardly the culprit. I am merely recovering from a previous injury.

And you can go through my warden for that. I have nothing to say to you.

Exactly the manner of response I would expect from someone undeserving of an apology.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

I do believe directly asking people for that enjoyable thing might be more effective than bemoaning the lack of it.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Careful, dearheart. I might think you're offering.

[inhumandog.livejournal.com]

You're right. It's not interesting to most. It's that last statement that seems to gain you more attention.

[Private]

Do I still have to stay away from Crane if he's threatening me?

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

When has he threatened you? Show me.

Rinzler is having one of those "oh user do i even ask" moments.

[ifightfor]

Define "libertine".

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

A libertine lives life to the fullest, without laws and limitations, to the greatest heights of pleasure and self-fulfillment.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Hoping someone comes by to watch you in the pool?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Such accusations! A person cannot muse without hope for anything but good conversation?

[Private]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Did you do anything to punish Iago apart from giving him a holiday in zero?

[Private]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And I'm surprised, really.

[the-shooter.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're one of those.

[audio]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Those, cherub?

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

One would think you're asking for company, marquis.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I cannot control how the heart interprets what comes by ear, Monsieur St Just.
