[Video] [Accidental] [Tyrion never starts this thing on purpose.]

[tallasaking]

[The phone is only turned on when it is dropped on the floor, giving an odd view of Tyrion from the bottom up, where he is fastening expensive looking boots onto his feet. They are oddly made as well, almost as if they are to be made to work as braces instead of just fancy looking footwear.

Which, to the medically astute, they are. Yes, Tyrion had boots made to help support his rather crooked legs. That should tell you that the variety of odd jobs he's working is profitable indeed.

A small hand reaches down to pick up the phone, seeing the freshly shaven face of Tyrion, who eyes the device with a sigh.]

... Right, well, I am going down to the planet, if anyone is interested in joining me. Shuttle leaves in fifteen minutes. I hope no one took the time to look up my skirts.

[The faintest of smirks, before he shuts down the thing.]

It's a moon. Like the one we almost saw when we took the time to look up your skirts. [Best way to meet someone new.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

Right. Moon. And I hope the view is worth it. Was worth it. [Have a smirk in turn.]

[passingthrough]

Will you be disappointed if I said I was actually checking out your boots instead? I might have to step up my space fashion game. [She's still slumming it in jumpsuits because it had been pretty low on her priority list and it's only been two months with the fleet.]

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[He grinned at that, before he showed off his boots again.]

Custom made, as all things should be. I found a very nice cobbler at our last stop who was very kind. Of course this is after all the coin I dropped in his pocket so...

[passingthrough]

So you bought boots and kindness? Impressive. [She looks amused at the implication.] Usually just my weapons are custom made.

[bryces_pup]

I dare say no one in this fleet would be so lewd enough to do such a thing. [Translation: people totally did.] That said, impressive footwear.

Re: video

[tallasaking]

...Really? You have more faith in them than I do. [Translation: he knows.] I thank you! I do strive to impress on many levels.

[bryces_pup]

I am an optimist, what can I say? [She snickers lightly under her breath.] Were they custom made?

Re: video

[tallasaking]

Well someone around here should be. [He grins in kind, before he nods.] Cost me a fair bit of coin -- but worth every bit of it.

[bryces_pup]

Oh dear. Run across one too many pessimists? Or do they like to call themselves realists?

[Those types are fun.]

I would believe as such, given the quality. Though of course, I would venture they look much better in person. These devices don't always give appearances due justice. Did you have them made on the station we were just at before?

Video/action?

[kill_switch]

I'll be there. [It might be less about going to the planet and more about impromptu shuttle lesson, but she's jumping at the chance.

Re: Video/action?

[tallasaking]

Very well Captain. We shall go moon-side together.

[kill_switch]

[She joins him in the hanger bay, scarf and goggles around her neck ready for the toxic atmosphere (which is not nearly as prepared as she should be).] Alright, I'm ready when you're ready.

Re: action

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion himself had a breathing apparatus on his face, along with his boots, and a thick coat, not to mention gloves. He nodded, and got the engines started.]

If I might be so bold to inquire, Captain, what business do you have on the surface?

Re: action

[kill_switch]

[She's quiet as she walks beside him towards the shuttle. His apparatus and his boots and his questioning - as harmless as they might all be - together help stir some uneasy memories for Furiosa. It's a combination of Joe and Junior and Warboys and there's a brief moment in time she was back on the Rig on the Fury Road being questioned about their detour. Calm, blank face, she looks down at him, and then back to the shuttle as they reach the door. There's a pause while waiting for it to open.]

Private matters. [Not exactly untrue; if she didn't plan on telling him she was assessing his shuttle skills, or anyone else, it was indeed private.]

[percolates]

That's one way to get attention.

Re: video

[tallasaking]

My dear lady - trust me - I know at least a half a dozen better ones.

[percolates]

Aside from accidental upskirts? Do tell.

[tallasaking]

Well there is always reciting dirty limericks - I know quite a few. Singing bawdy songs at the top of one's lungs, always a personal favorite. Suddenly stopping in the middle of a feast to start an epic poem from memorization -- I did that once as a bet.

[percolates]

You sound well read, if anything. But, I must ask what the results of such things are.

[universal_charm]

Don't worry. The boots produced enough glare to hide all the good parts.

Re: video;

[tallasaking]

Oh excellent - then they are fulfilling their secondary purpose beautifully.

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

An excellent investment.

If you're still looking for company on the ride down, I'll head over. I wanted to go dirt side again today.

Re: video;

[tallasaking]

I try to spend my coin wisely - well - when it is not going towards women and wine at least.

[He nods.] I shall be pleased to wait - ah - might I have your name sir?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He laughed at that. ]}

Well, if there's a good way to spend coin, those are definitely two of them.

_{[ Though he wasn't one for paying for companionship, but to each their own. ]}

Ah, sorry. It's Jim Kirk. And yours? Helps to know who I'll be looking for and sharing a shuttle with.
