[Facilier has been busy since his fortuitous arrival a month ago. He's been keeping an eye on people, both on the tablet and off, quietly getting a feel for the place. People here won't be as easy to fleece as they were back in New Orleans, but it doesn't matter. If he plays it right, he has all the time in the world here to get his footing somewhere good. Now, he's aware he's going to have to do some advertising. Word of mouth is well and good, but he'd rather people know where to find him, should they be in need of his particular...services.
He still isn't used to using the tablet beyond its voice function. At least with that, he can pretend it's a telephone instead of some device that belongs in a moving picture. He's nothing if not a good salesman, though, and this time...this time he needs the video. The screen is static-y at first, the good doctor watching an unseen person trying to get the thing to work]
No, I don't think throwing it at the wall will help.
[Oh. There we go. Facilier offers the camera a wide smile, as his shadow floats from somewhere off screen to hover beside him]
Bonjou and good day, fellow Transports! I'm still fairly new here, and figure it's about time I introduce myself. [A flamboyant bow to the camera, this thing better be working] Doctor Facilier, at your most humble service. I would have introduced myself sooner, but I've been busy establishing myself in this new little 'ol world of ours.
[The shadow moves offscreen again and suddenly the tablet is floating about in mid-air, showing off the little one-room home that Facilier has converted into his Emporium.]
So if any of y'all are in need of potions, charms, or even have your future read, don't you ever hesitate to come find me. [A piece of paper with a scrawled address hovers in front of the screen for a few moments, before it and the tablet are put back down to face Facilier once more]
After all, I'm real interested in helping y'all out. That's what this should all be about, right? Givin' each other a hand while we deal with all this other mess concerning the United Earth and what have you. I'd hate to sit back with my particular talents and not have them be of some use to the folk living here.
[One more friendly smile for good measure] So I hope to be seein' some of you soon.

[Don't mind him- just telling you how to do your job.] Clients can be... rather prickly about the details. As you may know.

Oh, I don't know. I've been getting plenty of readings done my way. You'd be surprised what a little mystery does to get people interested.
'Course, I'm sure you know all about that. Though I am havin' a little trouble finding your place of business around here. I'm sure I'm just not lookin' in the right place though. 'Course, that might make it tricky for your clients to find y'all, too. Might want to do something 'bout that.
Just a friendly pointer.

There's something to be said about word of mouth. [He clicks his tongue, thoughtfully.] Perhaps it's less efficient than posturing, but it certainly hasn't hurt my business any.
[GIRLS.]

[Ladies, ladies. You're both pretty.]
no subject
Likely not. You're dabbling with a crowd that believes palm readings are fascinating.
[PALM READINGS. TAROT READINGS. Whatever. He is throwing shade at your business.]

[He still doesn't believe it, but as he can't just sit here yelling YOU'RE LYING at him, he'll just... be snide and wait for him to fuck up.]
no subject
Ain't it just? Might try and see if I can change the past, too. [His past, mostly, and the removal of Tiana thereof.]
