One - Well Honed Thought

[tallasaking]

Who: Tyrion Lannister
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Aboard the Marvisa
When: Er, nowish.

[When the communication device is turned on, you are greeted with a scarred, bearded face that has seen better days, topped with golden curls mixed with black, and mis-matched eyes besides. Despite this rather ... interesting visage, the eyes are mixed with some sort of dark humor and his mouth is crooked with a flat sort of smile. The voice, however, ah, flows like honey.]

Good day, my fellow travelers. I apologize for my ... current state of less than noble stature, but I assure you that a wash and a shave will do no one any favors. I find myself at more of a loss over silken robes onto what ... precisely I am doing here. I have some knowledge - I am on something called a space ship, I am to be an engineer for such a vehicle but ... not entirely sure where, and I am here to entertain people. And before I forget my manners further I am Tyrion Lannister. If that name means anything to you, knowing that I have been thrown into such a role probably amuses you, so I appear to be ahead on my designated purpose on this show.

For the rest of you, I have two questions. One ... is it to be considered amusing when my lack of practical application in managing such a metal beast sends us crashing into some other spacial object, and two, ... there is wine here, is there not?

[A sigh, and a hand rubbing across his beard.] Not a great deal is needed. Just a glass. Just so I can ... stop breathing heavily and think we are all about to suffocate from the lack of oxygen from apparently being surrounded by an airless ... vacuum, I believe the word is, popping into my mind. Yes.

[He smiles, and it's not a bad smile at that.] Pleasure to meet you all, by the by.

Comments

[admirably]

[ He's learned to be wary of the kindest of faces, so the warning does not go unnoticed by him. ]

Or perhaps we can all hope it doesn't come to that.

[ Murder lost some of its luster when it didn't stick. ]

[tallasaking]

[Oh good, because Tyrion knows that warning goes both ways.]

One can only hope ... but we shall see what the future brings on this particular vessel.

[admirably]

Indeed. The events in store for us seem entirely unpredictable.

[ And that's what would make the game fun. ]

[tallasaking]

Well, at least some of us thrive in chaos. We should be able to keep above the fray.

[And hopefully keep others from taking too much advantage of it.]

[admirably]

That's the hope. A smile and a little positivity goes a long way.

[tallasaking]

[And now, Tyrion is going to be giving you the sort of smile that says, you have got to be lying.]

Is that so?

[admirably]

[ Hans knows that smile, and somehow, he's not too worried that Tyrion has caught on. ]

Oh, yes. I find that goes a lot farther than snarling and backbiting.

[tallasaking]

Hmmm. A lesson that you have learned personally, your Highness?

[Is the quiet observation.]
