[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?

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.

[tallasaking]

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?

[ladybro]

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. ]

Re: video »

[tallasaking]

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

[ladybro]

Always? The confidence on you. Jeez.

Re: video »

[tallasaking]

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

[ladybro]

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. ]

Re: video »

[tallasaking]

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.

[ladybro]

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

Re: video »

[tallasaking]

I cannot argue with that. Considering it is how I have coped since childhood.
