Un | Video

[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.
celestial_wizard: (Good mood)

[Actionyay!]

[ Shortly after disconnecting with him, Lucy and "Blackie" (she really intended to come up with a better name, but it's kinda stuck now) were headed out to meet with the other man. He seemed pretty nice, but she knew full well that he could be a shyster, and she would never expose her best friend to a con man. Thus, before long there is a knock - even if the door was literally open, she knocked to announce her presence. ]
celestial_wizard: (Grinning)

[ A..and ever? ]

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ For showmanship that's why bother! She glances at Blackie briefly at the wave from the Shadow, but her smile is friendly as always, when she looks back to the man, waving to him and his shadow. ]

Thank you for being available! [ And in she goes, looking around curiously. ] I apologize for asking you to read my future on such short notice. You might have had other things to do after all.

[ But he agreed so probably not! ]
celestial_wizard: (Bright eyed)

[ *.* ]

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-05 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's a nice way to think about it. And there are a lot of people to meet - I'm sure you'll have plenty of people to befriend and have clients.

[ Wait, does that mean she's his first client? Gosh! ]
celestial_wizard: (Glad!)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-05 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh Facilier. U Bad. ]

That's great! It's really wonderful that so many people help each other out here. With the situation what it is, they could just as easily refuse to help others.
celestial_wizard: Money Money Money~~! (Excited excited exciteeeeed!)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lucy grins, because it's just so nice to see a polite gentleman who agrees that it would be a shame if people turned their backs on each other here! ]

Ah! Yes, of course! [ How exciting! She's never had her future read by anyone but Cana before - and Cana's readings were always dead on. Except for the ones Lucy refused to believe regarding a certain dragon slayer. Still! She pulls out the chair and sits herself on down, ready to watch the man work. ]

[ Oh he's good. Remind her to never play cards with him. As the cards were fanned out, she leaned forward, plucking three cards, tempted to peek, but knowing she wouldn't really follow anyway. ]

Okay, I've got them.
celestial_wizard: (Oh?)

It is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL good <3

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-05 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WHOAH. How... was his card doing that? She's already impressed, especially since he was accurately telling of those important moments in her life. And she knows she didn't tell a lot of people about those moments, so .. his fortune telling clearly must be the real deal.

...being an important person to watch is a good thing, right? ... right? ]

That's .. all right, so far..! [ It's true, she has been a busy girl. So much history under her belt. So many friends made. ]
celestial_wizard: (Amazed)

:D

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-06 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh yeah, there's that. ]

Well.. I am! I didn't expect your ability to extend so far just from reading the card like that... it's really something to see!

[ Lucy can't say she understands the symbolism of the upside down her, or the cups, but.. ]

Haha, you got it in one again there. It's true, I do spend a lot of my time with my friends. They're what's most important to me.
celestial_wizard: (Bring it on)

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-07 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lucy grins, thoroughly pleased by that assessment. Damn right they are. Or at least they should be. Cuz she's awesome. ... okay ego moment over. She's clueless to the disdain because he is an excellent showman and she'd walk out if she had an inkling. ]

.. Yeah, I am. [ She already had an inkling of it from Natsu's recent return, but... she had a vague feeling he left out some parts. Things like her future self's death. So she was curious what the shadow man would tell her. ]
celestial_wizard: (Afraid)

It's good! Watch where you're stabbing though :D!

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-08 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Her amused, interested smile suddenly became much less amused at this part. This part Natsu didn't tell her - well he mentioned they were able to stop the dragons, but he didn't mention the part about the other her dying. She's silent for a few minutes, unable to speak from the shock.

"Died...? Are you sure?" Did he mean dead-dead or like... figuratively...?
celestial_wizard: (Distressed)

:(!!

[personal profile] celestial_wizard 2014-01-09 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
... [ That is SO like her to do something like that. HE could be way off base too though. ]

...Natsu ...didn't say anything about this... [ Well if he's accurate as he was with her past and present, she could understand why, but... ]
