Gad, has it truly been so long since I last penned an entry?

This is what happens when you forsake the modern conveniences for traditional parchment and ink, my lovelies. It escapes you. Am I very missed, I wonder?

(ooc: The Marquis has had time to lick his wounds, so to speak, but he's been fairly non-present elsewhere on the Barge. Attending meals but not much for conversation, walking his dog, and of course, humming in his room while he writes.)

If you don't mind the pains to your fingers--which, I'm assuming, you don't. Still seems like a slower process.

"Meditative," even.

[...] To each their own, I suppose.

And what do you prefer?

To relax or to communicate? Because, for me, those two are mutually exclusive.

Either, or.

For the second, computers. Emails are more convenient, though around the office they still used paper memos. Really old-fashioned. Needed to modernize; trust me, it was tragic. I don't consider writing a relaxing kind of activity, it's just more work to me. Reading's preferable.

I suppose it would depend upon what you write.

This is true. I'd likely be terrible at it if I tried. What sort of things do you write?

Terrible things, naturally. [You can practically hear the smirk in his voice]

Naturally? You say that like it's expected of you. [Pause, considers.] Though in a place like this, what else could you write, really.

It is expected of me.

... Oh.

[Nope that's all. Until curiosity gets the better of him.]

Why?

We must not have met before.

No, we haven't. I'm still fairly new, and haven't gotten around to everyone yet.

Dr. Robert Kozak. It's a pleasure.

Charmed, I'm sure.

The Marquis de Sade, at your service.

So am I correct in assuming your name is also an answer to my question?

For many, it would be.

But not for me. I haven't heard of you before now, unfortunately.

[you can hear the frustration] I ask you -- what use is a reputation if no one knows of it?

[He laughs a little.] I'm a scientist, Marquis. Somehow I doubt your works were ever part of my curriculum.

Not that kind of a reputation, dumpling.

To think that on my initial arrival here it angered me to hear the history that followed my death, and now I'm surprised if anyone has actually heard of me.

...Dumpling? [Someone is really not used to pet names.] I only meant my interests wouldn't have led me to something you might've written. Particularly if it's pornography. I've no doubt others know of you in my time, it's just that I do not.

Fair enough.
