[Arthur's sitting on his couch, cross-legged, in a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. His hair's actually... floppy... for once, which probably makes him look younger than he actually is. He's had a few glasses of wine, which is probably not a good idea, what with the lingering Death Toll effects. His voice isn't slurring, not yet, but it's definitely relaxed. This message is clearly intended for one particular person, but Arthur accidentally botched the filter thanks to the alcohol. This is why you don't drink and blog.]

I know I promised you a bottle of wine. So, you should hurry over before I finish this. [He holds up the bottle.] Particular bottle of wine without you.

[Arthur pours another glass.]

It's not that I'm lonely; I'm bored. I think I've been through every book I own at least twice. I even memorized a poem while I was stuck in bed. [He glances at the camera with a playful look.] It made me think of you. How's your French? [He offers the camera a little smirk, then begins to recite some ~French poetry~, his voice somewhat lyrical from the alcohol.]

De ce terrible paysage,
Tel que jamais mortel n'en vit,
Ce matin encore l'image,
Vague et lointaine, me ravit.

Le sommeil est plein de miracles!
Par un caprice singulier
J'avais banni de ces spectacles
Le végétal irrégulier,

Et, peintre fier de mon génie,
Je savourais dans mon tableau
L'enivrante monotonie
Du métal, du marbre et de l'eau...

[Arthur's going to keep going, tipsily reciting this poem because, IDK, it's about dream architecture kind of ~~I'm terrible with poetry, so I could be totes wrong~~. It's a somewhat long poem, so ENJOY THAT, BARGE.]

[OOC: SO OBVIOUSLY THIS POST IS FOR ARIADNE. But I didn't want to do a private post, so feel free to troll Arthur or assume he's like, hitting on you or whateverrr.]

[She is torn between sheepish amusement and abject embarrassment. Arthur you just aired their whole... personal... thing... to the entire Barge.]

Your accent isn't bad, but you really need to work on your filters.

What are you talking about? It's filtered to y--

[He cuts the transmission for a few moments to take a look at his entry. Then...]

Goddamn it.

Other than that, I'm feeling thoroughly wooed. But you might have some confusion to clear up.

Well, at least I didn't sing. [That would have been even worse.]

But I'm sure you have a lovely singing voice.

As the whole Barge found out a long time ago. Thank the Admiral for that. [He sang Lady Gaga, sob.]

Yet another reason never to drink.

Communicators glitch all the time. [But no, no... he agrees with you there. Alcohol and communicators aren't going together ever again.]

I've noticed that they "glitch" more often when the user is drunk.

[HARDCORE STRAIGHTEDGE, CAN'T BE TAMED~]

I'm not drunk. [JUST TIPSY, GEEZ.]

[ONE DRINK = BUZZED = TIPSY = DRUNK OFF ONE'S ASS to this crazy lady.]

Whatever you say.

[Muttering:] Yeah, no one ever believes the words "I'm not drunk."

Edited (IDK, I FELT LIKE IT) 2012-05-28 10:56 (UTC)

Of all the things I missed...this was not one.

What, the accidental posts? Or the poetry...

Drunken attempts at doing anything efficiently.

So, I take it you won't be joining me for a bottle of wine anytime soon. [PLATONIC MANLY WINE.]

I think the only time I ever drank wine with you was on my birthday.

And you weren't reciting poetry to me. [A pause.] Not that I'm asking you to ever, ever do that.

By the way, is it Ariadne?

[Seeing Arthur's romancing makes Narvin so uncomfortable. A year and a half later and the flood-night-stand still gets to him a little. So snark defense deployed.]

No offense, Arthur, but I cannot overemphasize how uninterested I am in a quiet night in with you.

And unless you want to invite the entire Barge, you might want to be more careful with your filters in the future.

Yeah, something tells me you're not a wine and poetry guy.

[Arthur linefaces briefly. DAMN FILTERS.]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

You're on public.

Yeah, thanks. I really didn't want to woo the entire Barge.

Edited 2012-05-28 11:02 (UTC)

My French is pretty good, Slick, but you're a little late to the game if you wanna be sweet talkin' me.

Hey, a guy can dream. [He teases, MAINLY BECAUSE NARVIN'S BEING SNARKY.]

[You should take Narvin being snarky as a symbol of normalcy in the cosmic order of things.]

Can't blame anybody for that, no.

Good luck with that. [Well, if he's gonna drunken court someone, least he can do is wish him some luck.]

Thanks. I may need it to smooth things over. [Or not, since Ariadne didn't seem to mind tooooo much.]
