[Open] [Video] [Iskarault]

[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.

[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?

[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.

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.]

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?

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.]

[He lifted his eyebrows up at that - now that was a surprising beverage to ask for. He almost thought she would ask for tea. Still, he quirked a small, pleased smile at her, as he went to fetch a bottle, and two glasses.

After a moment, he returned with a small carafe of water as well.]

To thin the wine, if need be.

[He pulled himself into the seat opposite her, and folded his hands in front of him, mis-matched eyes gleaming.] As you can see, there are six triangles, each with a different colored set of marbles. All you have to do is get all of your marbles into the triangle on my side, before I put all of my marbles into yours.

[He'd find she could hold her wine well, even with or without water to thin it down. Tea was all fine and good, but she had made enough of a study of Tyrion's habits to know that he preferred it and she had been no stranger to the drink in her time with the Dothraki or in Mereen.]

How does each turn work? do we just move our pieces one space at a time?

[She studies the board, growing more curious of the game as he describes it to her.]

Re: action;

[tallasaking]

[He was set to be duly impressed, again. Not many ladies could hold their wine with verve. Yet another reason for his admiring look.]

You move one space, until you reache one of my marbles. If you have the opportunity to jump mine, you can jump over one, thus moving you two spaces. Sometimes, you can find the opportunity to jump over three or four in one go.
