[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.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

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.

Private

[theway-i-appear.livejournal.com]

Quite wonderfully. [Meaning absolutely terribly.]

Private

[paradoxlol]

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.

[paradoxlol]

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

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

Private

[paradoxlol]

Great. So who're your loyal worshipers?

[toldastory]

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

[most_feared]

Hot stuff, Sport. [Dryly.]

What sort of books do you usually like?

Private

[cauchemal]

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.

Re: Private

[theway-i-appear.livejournal.com]

Like I would want to tell you.

[timesbureaucrat]

[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.]

[paradoxlol]

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.

[paradoxlol]

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

Private

[paradoxlol]

I'm glad he hadn't lost his touch near the end.

Re: Private

[paradoxlol]

Then I'm gonna have to go with my gut and say you don't have any.

Re: Private

[theway-i-appear.livejournal.com]

I do.

Re: Private

[paradoxlol]

Prove it.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

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

private;

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

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

Re: Private

[theway-i-appear.livejournal.com]

You will see.

[paradoxlol]

Vampire romance? That's a genre now?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It wasn't before?

Private

[paradoxlol]

I look forward to it.

In the meantime, we need to establish some ground rules. Come by my room tomorrow. [WHERE YOU CAN FREEZE HIM.]

Re: Private

[theway-i-appear.livejournal.com]

[Ugh, he doesn't like being ordered around but he figures it's an opportunity to screw with Arthur some.]

Fine. Tomorrow.

[paradoxlol]

I didn't realize it was a thing. [Worst fake librarian everrr.]
