Who: Theon Greyjoy
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: He'll be moping around the SS Paisley if you really need him
When: Current

[ The young man that sits before the camera is clearly both agitated and frustrated. Don't ask him about how he's settling in; the look on his face tells the story well enough. Not only did he have a terrible first day, but he spent nearly an hour working out what this strange device's actual purpose was.

To make up for lost time, his message is short and to the point, heavily punctuated by his angry tone: ]

Who do I speak to about an under-qualified captain?

[ This is a declaration of war. ]

[Oh, but he saw that falter, Theon Greyjoy, and he'll pounce on it like a cat with a mouse.]

And it would have served you better to hold your position, Greyjoy. It appears we are both fools. Although I think you the greater fool, for all your venom.

[ Figures. Theon is a good actor, but Tyrion is sharp. With Theon's temper and Tyrion's mouth, it's hard not to react angrily. ]

I did not ask for your opinion, small man. [ Zing? ] What you think matters little to me.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[He is a fairly good actor, but Tyrion is ten times sharper than his above average skills. Besides, he had nothing on a Lannister.]

I give it freely, which is a fair price by anyone's standards. [Oh, the sweetly sharp smile of a Lannister.] And my thoughts on you will be ones I shall be glad to share with one and all.

[Mis-matched eyes turned cold and hard. Yes, Theon. He'll expose just what you are to everyone. So whatever annoyance people have now, can turn to open disgust and mistrust.]

[ Theon doesn't bother hiding the cold squint he fixes on Tyrion now, his expression asking the question for him: What could you possibly know? ]

Whatever you think you know, you're wrong.

[ In some capacity. ]

Rumors grow twisted by the time they've reached King's Landing.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion's smile is sharp, sharp as knives.]

And yet ... I know enough.

[Which is enough for Theon to know that Tyrion will rip him from limb to limb if he needs to. Watch yourself, Squid.]

Rumors, yes. Crows that fly directly on the wing?

[ Theon sets his jaw tightly, growing more irritated and more concerned by the moment. ]

Robb already knows.

[ He says it as if that makes things any better. The details of what happened in Winterfell have been purposefully skewed, but the truth doesn't make Theon look any better. Robb won't be defending him any time soon.]

Anyone who cares already knows.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[And that smile that you get there, Theon Greyjoy, is the one of the snake who sees the fat mouse.]

Good for him. About time the Wolf King knew how dirty his own house is.

[He made a broad gesture.]

Now what about the rest of the fleet, hmmm, Squid?

[He gave the younger man a cold, level look.]

So I think it best, for your sake, if you learned how to get along with your crewmates. Quietly, and respectfully. For your sake.

[ He hates that smile. That's the smile of a man who can see right through him. Theon wants to end the feed now and end this conversation along with it, but he's too stubborn to admit surrender. ]

Lucky for him, I am not a member of his house.

[ No matter how much he may have wished differently. ]

As I said before, anyone who cares already knows. The rest of the fleet can hear what it wants to hear. It does not concern any of them. It hardly even concerns you.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[Which is why the man is a perfect target. He doesn't know when to beat a tactical retreat.]

Yes ... you're just a betrayer of it. And the murderer of children, no less.

[Cool mis-matched eyes level on him.]

How many secrets do you honestly think you can hold onto, before I tear them from you, one by one, and air all your dirty laundry.
