[Open] [Broadcast

Who: Tyrion Lannister
Broadcast: The whole Fleet
Action: Accidental video
When: Today

[If anyone ever had a doubt that Tyrion Lannister likes to keep himself occupied, today would be the day that he put all doubts to rest. His fingers flick against the side of his camera as he is reaching for a book. Which is good, because he's got three open now. He frowns at one paragraph, then pushes off with his chair - with wheels, fascinating things these.

Then he was picking up a screwdriver, turning to a tank that looked a great deal like the displays at the Green Museum, twisting a brace into place, eying it, then rolling back across the floor to check on the panels for the engine. He picked up a clipboard, put down the screwdriver and exchanged it for pencil while he marked off a few things on a list, then pushed himself off to roll back to his desk, where he flipped a page on his second book, muttering quietly to himself.]

'This means that the center of mass of the arrow–where gravity acts–is further forward than the center of pressure–where aerodynamic forces act. This results in the aerodynamic forces helping to stabilize the flight of the arrow.'

[He tapped the page, then pushed off again to his work-table, where a variety of weapons were lying on the surface, and plucked up the bow.] Yes, all right, that means I just need to change the density of the string and curve the bow a little more for the right amount of pressure per inch... good, good.

[He hummed as he put the bow back down, and reached underneath for his toolbox, singing softly to himself as he went through the varying strings he had gathered for said bow.]

I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look
And my temper and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist
Can't you see me on the stage performin' Mozart
Ticklin' the ivories 'til they gleam?
Yep, I'd rather be called deadly
For my killer show tune medley
Thank you, 'cause way down deep inside I've got a dream

[Clearly, Tyrion is something of a workaholic, when he gets himself going.]

It did, and yes you have all the signs of it. [He gave her a wry smile.] It is all right, apparently I am a functioning alcoholic. So we are evenly matched for psychological scarring, at least.

[She laughs as one only can about such things when they are shared like this.] Okay, my psychologically-scarred friend, I forced my way onto your ship, I think you should give me a tour now.

[He smirked briefly, before he gestured for her to follow him.] I think I should as well. You have come so far.

Who else is on board? I know I've looked at the list, but there are lots of ships and lots of names and I don't have an eidetic memory like Reid.

Let's see ... there is Captain Furiosa, of course, who dislikes me. Nova, Cirilla. Young Stiles. Master Clint Barton. And of course, darling Lily. [He smiles, as he led her through the ship.] Far and away, Lily is my favorite person.

Clint knows a version of me from back home. I sadly don't know another version of him though. [Sad mostly because she wonders if it means he's dead. Kind of an extreme to jump to but her world is full of extremes and there must be some reason why the Avengers never formed there. Maybe Apocalypse knocked them out early.] And Stiles is amusing. I don't know the others except for Furiosa, but I'm already jealous of Lily.

Why does Furiosa dislike you?

Your worlds intersect in the oddest of ways, Kitty. [He murmurs as he leads her up to the bridge.] Stiles is amusing - and you shouldn't be jealous of Lily, she is the sweetest girl in the world.

[A pause.] ... I think I remind her too strongly of elements of her past that she would rather forget.

Oh, mine do? [She enjoys the way he speaks though. Don't ever change, Tyrion.]

Mmm...Does seem like her home was rough. Any idea what it is about you that brings it back?

I am not saying my fellow Westros inhabitants do not intersect oddly - but at least we all seem to come from the same world. [He smirks at her, before he looks thoughtful.]

I have a feeling that in her world, the powerful held a very strict leash over those who were not, and all those people? Were men, not women. I think I must remind her of such men, when I speak of regaining my family's lands, my birthright. She doesn't believe anything belongs to just one person, but all people.

Okay, fine. I guess even with the time bumps and relations we still win. [And there are plenty of odd relations and time bumps with her group too.]

Mmm, I can see where she would then. Especially in such a broken world they would need the supplies to stretch as much as possible to preserve what life they can. It would be the same at home. Apocalypse holds...held too much of the remaining resources so we would sometimes [Smiling] liberate them.

There you have it. You win by ... well. Being much stranger than the rest of us. [Yes, he can say that with a completely straight face, thank you ever so much.]

[One corner of his mouth twists.] It is not a matter of supplies, but who has them. Yes, I can see where that would be an issue. [He huffed out a breath.] I would like to think I would not be the kind of man who would starve the poor to prove a point of how big my cock is.

Thank you. If only there were a trophy to commemorate this achievement. [Smirking but then looking more serious a moment later.]

I wouldn't think that of you. But it's hard to find a good leader and I don't think last name is a particularly good indicator either. It wasn't for the rest of your family.

I can have one made, if you really want one. [He is ... mostly joking.]

You know, Kitty, it is absolutely tiring being judged by one's last name, by one's family. Should I not be judged on the merits and sins of my own actions, as opposed to all the monstrosities my family has visited? [He sighed.] For half of them I wasn't much more than a boy. For the other half, a pawn.

I think I'll be okay. [That would be such a Winn thing to do. She couldn't help but fall for him when he made her that ridiculous slinky. Not because of the gift itself but just the fact he put time into something just to make her smile or laugh. That he'd been thinking about her like that.]

Everyone should. Not by families, heritage, race, religion, gender, DNA, none of it.

Perhaps for your birthday. [Really, just mostly joking, he promises.]

[He tipped his head up at her.] We do agree on most things, do we not?

Mm, I don't know if we've known each other long enough to cover most things. Lots of things out there. I don't even know your preferred pizza topping and you may not even know what a pizza is. But, yeah, odds seem good for that.

... I am going to have to state that no, I have no idea what a pizza is.

You make me very sad. [She doesn't look or sound that sad.] It's a kind of food. There's a bread like crust with sauce cheese and meats and vegetables on top. All baked and melty and wonderful.

[He smirked up at her, before he frowns at the sound of her food.] ... Well that sounds delicious. I am not sure how the sauce and the cheese and the meats and all that stays on top of the bread.

Sometimes it doesn't, but it's a hard bread. At least on thin crust pizzas. I'll show you sometime. Vision actually found a place that made them on the last station so hopefully that will happen again.

Are they that rare? Pizzas, I mean. Are they an uncommon food here?

I've only been on space TV since the beginning of February. I didn't have much money while we were on the station and now that I do we're on the moon where everything is made of poison. So, I don't know.

...Yes. I doubt that pizza that tastes of poison would be delicious to anyone. [Now that would have been something. Joffrey choking on one of those poison bread and sauce and cheese delights.]

Probably not. Hopefully I'd stop after one. [Kidding. Kidding.] So what else is on the tour?

Well, let's see. I can show you our kitchen, or our hospitality suite. We haven't gotten many upgrades yet, but we are working on it.
