Jareth is lounging on one of the couches, sipping a glass of wine.

Ages ago, when he had been a mere Goblin Prince, he had always gotten excellent marks in lounging. His tutor had often praised him for his style and languor. He has only gotten better at it as time has passed.As long as he stays entertained, he stays young and strong; it's only

And here's a god who can relate to the lounging, and the need to avoid boredom over the long centuries. Usually he finds ways around it. Pan stretched out on a couch nearby, goatskin skirt in place though it hid as much as Jareth's leggings. He idly scratched a spot behind one of his horns, and had his hooves draped over the far armrest.

"So many new arrivals here, such a treat really." The faun then commented.

"It seems to be a bit like a feast," he says, giving a polite nod of greeting. "Whatever you want, there for the taking. Certainly better than goblins."

He sips his wine. It's very good wine, he has found.

Pan gestured idly to a waitrat for some Atlantean before commenting, "Whatever or whoever, depending on how well you work it. And goblins is it? Not many around these days, or is it different in your lands?"

And he can be quite convincing at times.

[barn_owl_king]

"More than enough, where I'm from. Thankfully few in here. They..."

He shrugs lazily.

"It's hard having a conversation with creatures who are both painfully dim and having terrible short-term memories. There isn't conversation, there's just you talking and them staring blankly."

Pan gave a derisive bleat, "Sounds like some of the dryads. Lovely for a tumble but little else."

[barn_owl_king]

"At least dryads are good for that," he says. "Goblins are... not. I'd need to leave my kingdom entirely for that, or have guests in."

[thatinyourpipe]

"Well you'll get much more opportunities here. People from all over, and their doors lead to countless worlds too."

[barn_owl_king]

"The opportunities have been interesting so far, to say the least," he says, "and that's without putting any real effort in."

Another sip of wine.

"And with other worlds as possibilities... well, a man certainly can't get bored."

[thatinyourpipe]

Pan stretched against his couch, "Indeed, as long as that door behaves. Place likes to get nasty sometimes and shut people up in here." Then the boredom really would set in.

[barn_owl_king]

"That doesn't seem like such a bad thing," he says, giving him a grin. "There's still variety--you just let it come to you, instead of going in search of it."
