[Video] [Public and Private]

To The Fleet

[Tyrion is looking a little ... frazzled today. He's as neat as always, but his expression sort of has the range of 'shit shit shit shit shit' on it. Still, he kept a very straight face and a pleasant tone as he speaks.] Just to let everyone know, Captain Furiosa appears to be ... missing. Altogether. I will be stepping up as First Mate with Captain duties until she returns.

[Please, please let her return soon. Tyrion was always leery of leadership positions. He preferred to be the voice behind the throne.]

So, any questions, problems, captain meetings that should be attended? Let me know.

[And end feed...]

Private to SS First Breath

Well. All right. I'm in charge. So ... keep doing what you were doing before. all right?

[He smiled tightly.] And we'll just keep on as always until she returns. Good. Status, ah, reports?

[ first the bar, now this -- ]

Careful you don't burn yourself out.

[ so helpful, katie. ]

[Here, get his roll of the eyes. SO MUCH HELP KATE.]

I do not think that will be a concern.

Dude, being captain of anything is like a full-time job. I'm serious. Make sure you pace yourself.

[He inhales, slowly.]

I am hoping that Furiousa will return, shortly, so there will be no need to panic.

[Oh please, let there be no need to panic.]

However I will pace myself ... accordingly.

Good. That's all I ask for.

Are you that worried about me, Kate?

[That was ...actually touching.]

Uh, duh. If you get taken out by exhaustion? I'd probably have to step-up at the bar. That would seriously eat into my me-time.

[ what a liar! she's totally concerned. but she has a long long history of worrying over busybody hot messes. ]

Oh well we certainly could not have that. I would not want you to stress your sensitive nerves over what might happen with a higher work load.

[Yes, that was a completely straight face there.]

Exactly. Me? I'm high maintenance.

[ says the young lady who totally lived off canned beans in los angeles while wanting to do nothing more than simply save the whole damned world. ah, well. she doesn't necessarily like to go around flashing her superhero cred. therefore, she doesn't mind if tyrion might suspect her as a spoiled brat. ]

I find that hard to believe. In fact, closer to impossible.

[Because he's seen just how little she really cares about things that should be materialistic. She really is just looking for something relaxed most of the time, and as low-maintenance.]

Well. That's just 'cause the Bishop name means next to nothing, here. [ ... ] Hard to obnoxiously wave around something that inspires absolutely nothing but apathy in everyone else.

The name Lannister does the same thing. Of course, the name Lannister has not meant anything good in awhile.

Poor us and our high profile families.

We truly suffer from the horrific behavior of our familes, tis true.

If I'm honest, most of my family is pretty alright. It's just dad who sucks. Mostly. But he sucks enough to make up for the rest of us. [ ... ] And he's the one who made the fortune, so I guess we're all tarnished by association.

...Well, that sounds very much like my own father. [He smirks faintly.] What is with fathers who are complete bastards?

God, I don't know. But it's a tale as old as time, right? Evil dads. Or evil step-moms.

[ ... ] Luckily, my step-mom is just criminally annoying. Not criminally...criminal.

I would not know ... my father never remarried. Not once. Well he did sleep with the woman I was in love with so - no. No that wouldn't count.

[Which was an interesting conundrum. Would Shae have become his evil stepmother? Doubtful that Tywin would have married a whore ...]

Wow. You officially win the sob-story olympics. I can't top that.

[ not that she would honestly try to -- mostly, she's joking. ]

I always win this game. I am fairly certain that is not a good thing.

Always? The confidence on you. Jeez.

Yes, I am so arrogant about my own personal suffering.

You say that like it's some uncommon thing. When it's actually one of the most commonly aggravating kinds of arrogance there is: people just love to play the sympathy card.

[ she can never quite tell when tyrion is taking something too personally or not. but she strongly suspects this is one of those times. ]

I do not think I have ever played the ... sympathy card.

[He paused, then said frankly.] It was not something useful. Usually I am simply playing the dark humor ...card.

Well, that's a given. Dark humour's just about the only acceptable coping technique. In some circles.
