[Arthur's holding up a pair of leather pants (from Dionysus) and a hideous shirt (from Eames). They could very easily go together, and that frightens him. Especially because they look like what his gigolo self wore. HE IS NOT AMUSED. Also, he's wearing a three-piece suit, entirely too overdressed for the Barge.]

Looks like I've got two admirers with similar tastes. You've got a long-lost brother aboard the ship, Mr. Eames.

[He tosses the garish monstrosities off-camera, to his bed.]

Thanks for the gifts, everyone. Christmas on the Barge was certainly... something else. [Hnngh mistletoe.] Nice, but I think I'm kind of burned out on holiday cheer now.

[He looks down at something on his desk, then back to the camera.]

Anyone got any book recommendations?

[Private to Dionysus]
So, how's that quest for followers working out for you?

[Private to the Admiral]
Since it looks like I'll be here longer than planned, I've got a request for you. I'd like you to change my cabin. I'm tired of living in a dream Just make it my apartment from back home. The one in New York. Thanks.

[OOC: ARTHUR HAS A FANCY NYC LOFT. So his request is just for one... much bigger room. With all his suits. And a few more glocks hidden in a safe. With the PASIV. Basically. IDK if that's acceptable, mods? CONFIRM PLEASE.]

[OH THE PANTS AND THE SHIRT. Mal is SO AMUSED.]

Oh, Arthur, how very fetching!

[Then, a little more seriously:] I haven't got any book recommendations, but—I must thank you for one.

I don't think fetching's the right word for it. [More like HORRIFIC.]

So she gave it to you. [Here's hoping the book was a good decision.] You're welcome. I thought you'd want to read his long-lost work.

I'd heard about it, of course—who in our field hadn't? But I hadn't expected to have a chance to read it. It's magnificent.

Wow. [ Snerk. ] Stylish.

I've got the entire Twilight series, if you're interested. ~~Please god take them they make my head want to explode.~~

Yeah... They'll find a good home in the back of my closet.

What's Twilight? [Arthur missed the memo :c]

It's... a really popular vampire romance novel. [ See? Totally sounds interesting. ] Sort of an action story too?

Steph, ya really can't do that to him. That's awful!

Shush! It's a cultural experience. I couldn't possibly deny him the opportunity.

Quite wonderfully. [Meaning absolutely terribly.]

Great. So who're your loyal worshipers?

Like I would want to tell you.

Hot stuff, Sport. [Dryly.]

What sort of books do you usually like?

If we're talking fiction? 20th century literary fiction. Short stories, like Carver, Hemingway, Bukowski. I'm open to nonfiction, too. Really, I'm up for anything right now.

I always end up falling back on Hammett's stuff when I run out of anything to read. But I grew up on his stuff so that's a lot of nostalgia.

[Narvin twitches a bit at the sight of the terrible clothing, but, since he doesn't hate Arthur he offers a book recommendation.]

I recently read Pandak the Third's Musings on Imaginary Numbers and found it mildly diverting. [Narvin fails at fun.]

...Imaginary numbers? [He only vaaaaguely remembers that term from high school math.]

I think it would be good for you to branch out in terms of clothing. Can't be suits all the time.

Edited 2011-01-03 21:13 (UTC)

You think it would do me good to wear leather pants?

It might. You never know until you try.

I've got a book on maths you could read. It's making a splendid paperweight for me. [GRIN.]

Otherwise, there's a bit of literature here. You're welcomed to browse.

You don't find it illuminating? I'm surprised.

Sure. What've you got?

I'm not entirely certain it's in English. [Ew, maths.]

[Private]
Don't know; it's not my room. Come have a look.

Well, The Decree of the Scourge...

[DON'T DO IT, it's like Dianetics but for people who worship the Lich King.]

Care to give me a synopsis? [Arthur just figures it's an EVIL TOME that will make him die if he so much gets a papercut from it. Because you're recommending it.]

It is a statement of our beliefs.
