[Action] Going Calling

[tallasaking]

Who: Tyrion
Broadcast: N.O.P.E
Action: Tyrion's making his way around the Fleet. Hi Friends.
When: First week of August

Having an engineering augment had seriously helped him with the ability to have some breathing space on the rather overly metal surfaces of the First Breath. Not that he didn't love his ship - honestly he spent as much time there chatting up Lily and Hawke as he did sleep.

Let's face it, Tyrion wasn't much for sleeping. So when he wasn't working on the Engineering of the ship (hour or two, tops), or his own projects (four to five depending on how late he stayed up), then managing the bar (eight hours), he still had time on his hands. So he would take that shuttle, and head out into the deep dark (don't think about it, do not even think about not having air), to visit.

If you are expecting a handsome - well at least charming - dwarf, do feel free to open your airlocks. No worries, he can break in if necessary.

Tyrion rubbed his chin for a moment, before tipping his chin over at the other man. One corner of his mouth lifted.

"Chess, no. Three-dimensional chess? Absolutely. The rules seem to be the same ... for the most part."

[universal_charm]

"For the most part," he agreed, and abruptly changed his tactic, come in from an exploitative direction using the 3D aspect of the board. "Check."

[tallasaking]

"Yes for the most part." He snorted softly, as he shifted his king to safety. "Although I think one might have to be rather good at mathematics to really win. At least the three dimensional kind."

[universal_charm]

"I'm sure it's something you could pick up fairly quickly," he said with confidence, even as he pressed his assault, taking back the check.

[tallasaking]

"We shall see ... " Right, so, best just go with the unexpected. Think out of the box. He shifted a pawn down the board, while planning another forward front attack with his next move, then went on the defensive in the next.

That was usually best with Kirk. He was an unconventional thinker at the best of times, which tended to frustrate his instructors back in the Academy days.

He grinned as the battle became closer between them, clearly enjoying himself as he countered Tyrion. He knew they were drawing to the finish, be tight for sure.

Tyrion paused after a few moments, taking a close look at the board, then tutted under his breath and gently lay his king down on the side. "I can already see your moves - there's no way I'm getting out of this one. Well played though, friend."

He offered his hand, with a little smile. "I won't be caught off-guard, next time."

[universal_charm]

He bowed his head in acknowledge of the compliment, breathing a sigh of relief inwardly. There had been a chance that Tyrion would take the game from him, and though it was just a friendly game, his competitive spirit was hardly dimmed.

"I would never think to let my guard down around you," he shook the other's hand. "You do learn scarily fast."

[tallasaking]

I do have a rather large learning curve, don't I? [Tyrion mused, his mis-matched eyes gleaming with humor.]

[universal_charm]

Not nearly large enough for comfort, my friend.

[tallasaking]

Well, then I suppose you ought to polish up your game, hm? [He smirked as he jumped out of the chair, and bowed.] Captain, until we meet again.
