Philistines, all of you!

A week gone by, and nobody even has a clue that there is a celebrity upon the barge: a famous actor in your midst. The denizens of this ship live in a blind stupor, or are too deep in a miasma of bestial lust. [OOC: He's gunning for Adrian here, ;)] I'm sure that you have all seen me in the most respected of productions. Have you ever heard of

Do "lusts" make you uncomfortable, sir?

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

No! Of course not. I'm just busy channeling my energies into artistic pursuits. I have a lust for theatre, not for the beast with two backs.

Private.

[triggered_it]

I have a proposition for you.

Re: Private.

[demandmorebooze]

And what is it that you think that you could offer me?

Private.

[triggered_it]

Unconcern yourself with my lusts and my liquor, and I'll see what I can do about hosting a theatrical production for you. Something with a small cast, and I would avoid Shakespeare. Perhaps something more modern: Pinter, or Beckett, or Stoppard.

Of course, you'll need a warden first, to supervise, but other than that, it should be no problem.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

Concerned with your lusts and liquor? You can stuff them up your ass for all I care, and I'm sure there's plenty of room.

But, I am interested. As long as I would be cast as the lead, just so it would be done right.

Private.

[triggered_it]

Oh, but earlier you seemed so eager. I have standards too, however.

Of course. That goes without saying: a fine actor like you should have no problem gaining the lead, though I may have to have some assistance with casting. Your audition will put us all in our place, however, I'm sure.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

As long as I don't see some other fine actor on your lap in the casting room.

I'm not here to put anybody in their place, I am merely here to entertain and enliven this hunk of moldy driftwood.

Private.

[triggered_it]

Now, now. That is of no concern to you. Part of the proposition, remember?

I'm reading a play called "The Pillowman" right now. It's from the early 21st century.

Familiarize yourself with it, and tell me if you find it acceptable.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

The pillowman? What is this, smut? I'll perform in front of an audience of spinsters, lovely.

Private.

[triggered_it]

No, sir, believe me, we both have higher standards than that. It's about a writer of gruesome fairy tales being interrogated by two officers employed by the police state they are living in.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

Fine, I'll read it, then. Or endure it, perhaps.

Private.

[triggered_it]

Let me know if you need any help.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

Help? What do I look like to you, an imbecile?

Private.

[triggered_it]

I don't make snap judgments on intelligence, but we'll see.

Private.

[demandmorebooze]

Probably for the best, considering who you are.
