Fantomex | Marvel 616 | OU
[The business back home regarding never showing his face was simply a by-product of his telepathy-blocking plates having been embedded in his full face mask. As he...awoke on the Marsiva without it due to circumstances he thoroughly volunteered for, he isn't complaining. Besides. Jean-Phillipe is well aware he's a very attractive man, he was created to be after all, and literally made to be the charming, debonaire man currently smiling amicably at the comm feed. He's reclining on what must be his bunk bed, from the angle at least, and holding a brandy snifter in one hand, a dark amber liquid bobbing gently against the glass. When he speaks, his accent is French, or nearly Orlesian to all those Thedosians around.]
As infinitely charming as the intra-system World Cup of Yandrolla was, and as intriguing a mystery as this "Drade" is, I have a question for all you...veterans, or...those of tenure. Whatever it is you'd like to call yourselves: are we ever in a system long enough to actually enjoy it? Thus far, we've visited enough of an entire cultural system to write a travel brochure. Are we actually the Atroma's holiday advertisement, or is it their target audience has the collective attention span of a saccharine-addled preschooler?
action | Iskaulit - Library
[It's a blessing, the Iskaulit, and in more ways than one. It gets him away from the small confines of his ship, it gives him something to explore, things to experience, people to meet, something other than processed, food-flavored protein to eat, but also...the library.
Of course, as he's browsing what one can only call shelves in the vaguest of senses, he makes no effort to hide his look of disgust, or to mask the sound of frustration as he pulls yet another copy out of place from a shelf he was browsing.]
No catalog, minimal organization. Who organized these shelves, a half-intoxicated co-ed?
Library
He glanced over at the sound of disgust, arching a brow. ]
Try a prideful wizard, who I'm sure has a method to his madness.
[ What? He liked Felix, okay? ]
Though it's not like there's a real official system. People can take and put back as they please, as far as I know.
no subject
In my experience, all wizards are prideful, fictional or no, and just as confounding with their libraries, but if the proprietor of this particular establishment wanted to keep his knowledge so closely guarded, maybe he should have required a key.
[He raised an eyebrow, then cast his gaze back around the library, appraising in a different manner.]
Ah. So it's some sort of space-age book exchange rather than a proper library. That makes a bit more sense.
[Having been an alien in a world both foreign and familiar before, Fantomex knows the value of alliances, though, and he crosses the distance between them, offering a hand.] Jean-Phillipe Charles. [He pronounces his last name "Shar-less".] A pleasure, for what it's worth.
no subject
I wouldn't call it a book-exchange, per say. It does travel with us, and as far as I can tell Felix does try and upkeep it, and we do call it the library. So, library. As good of one as we can manage.
[ His defense of their little library done, he reaches out and takes Jean's hand, giving a firm squeeze that isn't threatening or meant to intimidate, but the firm grasp that captains traded. Business like. ]
James Tiberius Kirk, Captain of the Tourist. Pleasure's mine, for what it's worth. Kind of take that as we can get it, around here.
no subject
[Funny. He doesn't look like William Shatner. Not a complaint, really. Evidently, the real thing is much more handsome.]
This is the best this Felix friend of yours can manage? [He takes a breath. What sort of back-water, post-apocalyptic reality show had he landed in?]
no subject
Jumping from planet to planet? Yeah. It's not like he spends all his time here, either. Admittedly we're all usually a bit more... distracted. And you can get a lot of materials electronically too.
