[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?

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.

[ladybro]

Always? The confidence on you. Jeez.

[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. ]

[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.

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