[Open] [Video] [Iskarault]

[tallasaking]

[Crowley's bar is the setting, and Tyrion is the broadcaster, as he is setting up a chess board on one of the tables, along with different stacks of cards on others, and yes, even some odd games he managed to find called 'Monopoly' and the like.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Considering how ... fraught things are lately, I welcome you to come to your local watering holes and enjoy a cool beverage, and perhaps a little gaming besides that. I myself have taken to, after excellent instruction from Kitty Pryde, to teach others how to play chess. I think it might be good for all of us to get outside of our own heads for a bit. You can even bring a game of your choice, if you do not see it here.

[He bowed once, before smirking.] And if you are all really good, I have figured out how to turn this communication device into a microphone, so if one wishes to do the ... karaoke, I believe I can figure something out. Given interest and a little time, of course.

Comments

[She knows Tyrion Lannister both from reputation, but also as the son of her father's liege lord. It was hard to mistake him for anyone else. She had heard that he was present aboard the ship, but had yet to meet him, conflicting feelings keep her away.

Still, his offer is kind and she is curious to meet the man, if only to confirm or dismiss her wariness.]

I should be grateful to learn how to play "chess", my lord.

[tallasaking]

[He peers at the unfamiliar face, but a student is a student. He gives her a little bow, frowning slightly. Why did she look familiar? There was something about her ... ]

Then I shall be pleased to teach you, my lady. Feel free to come by at any time.

[goodandtrue]

[She didn't expect for him to recognize her. A single daughter in a large family didn't tend to generate a great deal of notice, especially to a liege lord. She felt a bit of relief at that, preferring to get a better sense of him first, before talking about her connections to his family.]

I'll be there momentarily.

[It took a bit to walk to the Iskarault, but after an hour, she arrived at the bar.]

Lord Tyrion?

[tallasaking]

[He is updating his books, at at her quiet comment, he looks up. A smile slips across his face, and he dips into a slight bow.]

My lady. Please, do come in. Might I offer you a refreshment, before we begin?

[goodandtrue]

[He was at least charming, though that never seemed to be much of an indicator for what lay in a man's heart.

She shook her head.]

No thank you. [She might be a touch paranoid about drinks given to her.] Is chess a card game or something else?

Video

[pain_train]

[Yes! More opportunity to practice the game and get better at it. Wrath is all about training, no matter what it's for.] Hi! Charles taught me how to play chess. I'm not very good at it, but I want to get better and play more.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion smiled warmly at her enthusiasm, before he nodded his head firmly.] Well then I will be happy to teach you as I can.

Video

[pain_train]

Awesome! Um. I also know how to play poker, but I'm really bad at that because I suck at lying, but I can teach you how to play if you don't know.

Re: Video

[tallasaking]

I would like to learn how to play this poker ... and no worries, I am quite good at lying, so I should end up being a natural.

[He smirked faintly.]

Re: Video

[pain_train]

Is being good at lying something to be proud of? [Squint.] But I guess it means you'll be good at the game...

Who knew space was going to be so big on karaoke? [She heard that compliment up there, sir. Not that she is referencing it directly. Winn was a collaborator on a karaoke machine here, so it comes into her life a lot in the fleet.]

Re: [video]

[tallasaking]

Well space is a place where one gets to expand, yes? Like all these universes. [He smirked faintly.]

[video]

[passingthrough]

When you put it that way... [Smiling] But couldn't we expand with more dance floors?

Re: [video]

[tallasaking]

For that, you would have to convince my boss. [He smirked faintly.] Crowley has never struck me much as a dancer, truth be told.

[video]

[passingthrough]

I don't think I know this Crowley and suddenly I have so much less interest in changing that. [Or did they speak once? She's been around long enough it's starting to get hard to keep track of the ever rotating population.]

It has been a while since I stopped by - I would welcome your expertise on the current stock of good drinks, I think!

What is chess like?

Re: video

[tallasaking]

Then I shall be pleased to have you hear to test them.

It's a game of skill and strategy. It is a thoughtful game.

[bythewaves]

Then I shall - also, if a Dr McCoy drops by, offer him a drink, for me? He is a good Man, and has a taste for the finer drops, as well. I think you would like him.

Ah, I see! It certainly sounds interesting - depending on how many new samples you have, I might beg for a lesson!

Re: video

[tallasaking]

I shall be happy to - is there a particular kind he likes best?

[A chuckle.] I am not sure about samples ... but I shall see what I can do.

video

[bythewaves]

I did not think to ask, in honesty, but I expect he could tell you.

[ Maglor grins back ] Either way, I will make sure to drop by soon - the conversation is always stimulating, and the alcohol does not hurt!

[It isn't a terribly long wait before Dany makes her way to the bar, clutching a small ill-wrapped present with her. She'd been in a hurry with it before she left to meet him. It probably wouldn't matter much how badly wrapped it was. When she enters the bar at last she makes her way to him immediately, smiling upon seeing him.]

I can't say I'd be any good at this game but I'd never turn down a visit with you.

[Lo and behold, Tyrion gets to see her in the flesh and sans her dragon for the moment. He was in excellent hands with Pinkie aboard the Caprine while Mother went about her errands.]

Perhaps you could teach me?

Re: action;

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion looks up from where he is setting up the bar itself, and his gaze warms slightly.]

I would never turn down a visit in kind. This is a delightful surprise ...

[A pause, then a wide smile.]

I would be delighted.

[moonofmylife]

Where should we start?

[She looks about the room, seeing the different games he's set up at the tables. It was interesting and none of it was familiar, unfortunately.]

I suppose it doesn't matter which. I wanted to come see you anyway.

[To gift him with the present she's made him and maybe puzzle out his feelings on her and other things after her talk with Leto.]

Re: action;

[tallasaking]

Mmm, I suppose we should pick a game that is easy to play, that we may converse over.

[He rubs his beard for a moment.]

Chinese Checkers. The rules are quite simple.

[Gesturing her to a table, he pauses.]

What sort of refreshment can I offer you?

action;

[moonofmylife]

Chinese Checkers it is.

[She smiles, moving to take her place at the table before turning to look at him. over her shoulder.]

Wine, if you have it. I don't terribly enjoy the sweet sugary beverages from the kitchens on each ship.

[Wine was simple and it was something they both enjoyed.]
