[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.]

So, how did you find out about it? You didn't...walk in on it, did you?

At least you didn't have to gorge your eyes out. [She gives his shoulder a supportive squeeze.]
passingthrough: (Fond - Listening)

It's the small things. [She smiles but then looks thoughtful.] Mm...I probably should be getting over to the Tourist before Winn gets worried.

I will see you for chess tomorrow though, right? You don't get to back out just because you had to deal with me today too.

The nicest. [And actually slightly older than Tyrion because the world makes no sense. He gets an amused smile back as she steps backward through a table and gives another wave.] Good luck with your arrows.

Courting. [She smiles.] You and your old timey terms. [She gives him a wink before turning to head out. [No arguments there.]
