[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.)

We will talk, and we will talk civilly. Is that understood?

At long last, my lovelies, a new chapter. My book on my early life, and eventual arrival here, finally continues. I invite those that have read the first and the second chapters to grant me their critiques and questions. A much longer sampling, but this part of the manuscript was difficult to divide.

Le Barge - The Afterlife and Adventures of a Condemned Libertine, Chapter 3 )
(ooc: I am so sorry this took so long to write :| It was originally much longer but I decided to cut it in half.)

I might or might not have left that poor man without a job, but at least now he might have a little self-respect.

[Private to Iago]

You've been quiet of late.

[Private to Henry West]

I took note of your...revelation while in port, but was regrettably unable to comment.

...How are you feeling?
impure_tale: (amused with himself)
My darlings, have I missed any announcement by the Admiral that there might be some festivities as this month draws to a close? I am not mistaken in thinking we feast every year, or have since I have come here. There is some occasion for the costumes purchased in port, oui? If none have been announced I propose we organize it ourselves. The ship could do with a little levity after so many days of fighting.

And to those faithful readers that have given me such encouraging feedback, I present to you a second chapter to the account I am attempting to transcribe:
Chapter 2 - The Life of a Libertine, Part One )

Oh, this is new. Not a terrible body. Well-exercised. Kind of a typical jawline. Fantastic arse.

Ohh, yes this needs a test run before the waters recede. This is a flood, oui?

Lovely.

Yes Admiral, I think this shall do quite nicely; the accommodations are perfect and you have truly outdone yourself.

As for the rest of you, I trust I was not gone too long to have been forgotten, oui?

It was only a story, dumplings.

To Wardens and Fellow Inmates, I bid you greetings. I'm sure the whole of the Barge is aflame not only with news of a recent disappearance but of yet another publication as well. While a few of you have chosen to bring your complaints to me in person, I should like to avoid any further outbursts by stating the following:

I did not write the fucking story. I don't even really know one of the people included in it. That's not what I do.

I'm sure many of you may doubt it -- even some who should, by all accounts, trust me by now. But that is the truth, and the truth is something I do not make a habit of avoiding in most matters.

So no -- I didn't write it, but somehow I suspect I know who did.

Let's have a little chat, reader. Now, I should like to think that I am just as reasonable a man as any other. Yes, I realize I'm an Inmate in this place. Bad deeds, repentance! and so on and so forth. I get the point, and I shall deal with it in my own time, rest assured. However, it's come to my attention recently that a vast number of the people here seem to know who I am. Once already, however, that conception of who I am has been proven to be based on false information.

Not that I mind the extra infamy. But one person so far has been wrong in their assumptions about my past deeds. I want to know how many others are as well. Just to bear in mind which of you are the gullible simpletons in the bunch. I'll be happy to take advantage of your naivete later.

So tell me, reader. What does history say about me?
