224 - [Video]

Interested or even just curious parties can find copies of the play I've chosen in the library for your perusal. I hope to begin discussing with any volunteers positions in set and costume design, and auditions shall be organized soon.

A humble welcome to our visiting listeners and viewers today.

[Private to Richard Riddick]

I crave company, Richard. Are you very busy?

Donatien.

Humble welcome, that's all I get?

I missed you. Call me persimmon, nobody else will. I've got to hear how you've been, do you know how much I miss you?

Still not settled yet. But working towards it. There's a planet that once we've gotten some more resource I could see my way clear to settling on, step off-ship, believe it or not. Make a residence worth visiting. For any duration.

[Forever.]

I'd been hoping one of these days would come. Damn, it's good to see your face again.

My deal was for lives and safety. And now that the safety of the gentles is secure, I don't think I could leave them again until we've carved out our own patch of gonebeyond. Even with time standing still as it does.

[Private]
I won't resent you if you don't want to wait, you know. If you'd rather settle somewhere else when you finally leave the ship.

But if you'd rather settle here, there'll be a place for you, if I have to build it with my bare hands.

Sorry. Listen to this, sentiment and romance, I blame you for all of it.

Then you'll have another place to visit, when the days get a bit too long aboard the barge and you need to step out for half a day or so. And you'd be welcome however short the duration.

I'm not holding out for a promise, Donatien. We aren't either of us really in the position to give them out.

Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten. And I'm still in love with you, damn you for your charms. [Said fondly.]

Damn right.

And when you go back I'm going to ask the admiral to assure you a string of lovers so beautiful you have to think of me just for the novelty every now and again.

Now what have you ever seen of me to think I wouldn't?

[He grins outright, knowing the Marquis is at least prepared for the sight.]

And think of me. I'd like something pretty to think about myself, some lonely sleepshift, knowing what you're up to with some slip or another.

I'm disappointed in you, mister. I expect a better report by the time you've come to visit.

[Stildyne considers that with a frown, then lofts the single brow.]

I always thought he was a mad dog. Tell me he was good to you and it was after you'd severed your business arrangement and I'll just enjoy the image, though.

...quite a bit, because he was the most beautiful mad dog I'd ever seen.

[Stildyne snorts in amusement.] I'm pleased you had someone. Equally pleased it was someone so decorative. Thanks for letting me know. I might nearly have worried about you.

I hope there's another half-dozen like him for you.

Make them take it in turns. Draw the thing out.

[It's something like the opposite of innuendo, as if Stildyne's blatant filthy talk conceals a few more practical things. The usual tedious warm affection that he simply hasn't been able to shake, and general asking-after, small-talk.]

You know I'm always willing to think the best of you.

But if you're out of shape, I recommend more drilling at it. Only way to improve.

We've taken up with a group of pirates to pay our way, that ought to please you. I haven't had a warm bed since I left the barge, but it's only been a few months and I've had longer droughts. It's not a very impressive existence.

I'm still happy to help with lighting and design.

Still not sure about this audition thing. Don't you-- uh, think it'd be-- [ Well, he's not human, okay, and this is a play about humans. ]

[ Eh, what the hell. ]


Okay. But I don't know anything about-- well, okay, I know plenty about theater and drama, but not the kind you deal with. But I'll look at the play.

Well of course I will! [ He has a good laugh at that, and honestly, today he's needed one. ] Don't be silly. I approach everything like a challenge.
