[Video] [Atroma Network]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion turns on the small communication device in his engineer workshop, which is filled to the brim with organized piles of different parts he has scavenged, bought, traded, or just out-right sweet-talked people out of.]

In the matter of 'do we have a suitable amount of materials that are not precisely Atroma specifications onboard this little Fleet of Damnation', your answer can be Yes, Yes we do. With these parts I've constructed new shields for our beloved little First Breath, as well as one medium range laser cannon, set on a swivel port.

[He smirks, faintly.]

For our next possible incursion with ... less than friendly species. I am willing to work with other engineers to help shore up defenses, as it were, or make them myself, but I will require coin or materials to do so.

[A completely innocent smile.]

So what have all of YOU been up to, lately?

Locked to Jim, Kitty, Riona, and Crowley.

I have a gift for each of you. Come by and see me at Malum or in my lab, when you have the opportunity.

Comments

[tallasaking]

Yes, for shooting people.

[He is pensive for a moment, before he states simply.]

This place ... it does things to people. Strips them of their abilities. You are vulnerable, I am, we all are. I like you to have a little insurance against that, my friend.

[onlyanapple]

No.

[His tone is sharper- much sharper than his usual laconic approach. He slides the gun back over to Tyrion, he's not smiling, not at all.]

I think you've mistaken me for a human. I don't do things this way. I've existed for a long fucking time without resorting to primitive murder. I'm not going to start now.

[tallasaking]

[He looks at Crowley for a moment, not insulted, just curious. He nods and takes the laser gun back.]

All right, Crowley. I'm not trying to insult you by offering you a human weapon. I simply ... wanted to make sure you would be safe.

[Hands up, casual. No harm meant, demon-boss.]

[onlyanapple]

It's not about it being a human weapon. It's about me using it like a human. I don't kill people, and I certainly don't need to do that to be safe.

[He doesn't relax, a line has been crossed and he's not best pleased. He honestly thought Tyrion knew him better than this. ]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion is constantly learning things about the people he is close to, Crowley, and sadly you are not the first he has assumed something about to his own detriment.

His expression falls.]

I ... apologize Crowley. I honestly had no idea that you felt this way. I -

[onlyanapple]

Yeah, well, I do. Guns aren't an answer. Least...not for me.

[He has plenty of trauma from killing people thanks to Paradisa, it's a touchy subject.]

But fine. Lesson learned, I guess.

[tallasaking]

... well, at least I didn't need to learn this lesson in a dungeon cell, so I suppose this is an improvement.

[onlyanapple]

Yeah, definitely no dungeon cells here.

[tallasaking]

Well, that we know of. I am not entirely certain we have found all the rooms there are to find on the Marvisa...

[He sighed, rubbing one hand across his face.] Marvelous, now I have given myself that to think of.
