[Open]

It's a fine day for sunshine. I find myself pitying those who choose to live beneath stones and only play at seeing sunlight. The real thing is not so easy to replicate. It seems to be getting warmer as well. Summer Is Coming, as they might say in my own Westerlands. If there is anything to love about this world, it is the peculiarly short seasons. It is a strange thing to have them all wrapped up in one year. I find myself wondering how it is you're able to keep track of them when they each go by so swiftly. It is near spring, but I'm told it will only be a few months long with more certainty than even the wisest maesters can manage - and this from an ill-bred soldier with scant few hairs on his lip.

I will say this for the south, however. It is blessed with very few imps.

[Locked to the Unseelie]

I've spent an uncomfortably long time in Seelie lands these past few weeks, though I am to understand a fairy ring is not so far off ahead of me. Would that we had such things in my own seven kingdoms, I might have done a fair bit more traveling. Though I confess I find it terribly disappoint how utterly small this world is made out to be. Is it truly a void beyond the oceans? I would imagine that it could not have always been that way. Certainly there had to be something far off out there, beyond where ships are able to reach.

In any case, I do have a point beyond the tedium of long riding. My name is Tyrion Lannister, which may not merit much weight here, but I was known as the King's Hand and the Master of Coin where I was from. I excelled in both duties and while I have no mind to butcher my features in further battles, I would see my skills put to proper use still. There is a certain spire that I feel might benefit from my talents and so it is there I mean to go. But I am given to understand there are a number of spires in all and would be only too glad to find other similar minded individuals to begin making certain investments. I do not yet have all my wealth at my disposal, but I promise you I always pay my due. A Lannister always pays his debts.

There is one other matter. Briefly for a time there were two of my kin here. My brother Jaime Lannister and my bastard nephew, Joffrey. Did anyone perchance to meet either of them? I know they are long gone from this world, but I would be interested to know if there was anything they might have left behind.

Uh. No. [ fedoras are ugly, dude. ] But you're a big-time baron, now. When we met? We were both nobodies. So it's alright for one nobody to recruit another. But now you have a rep to consider.

[ listen. you know she's right. ] Talk him into visiting and then we'll see if he's right for us. [ like adopting a stray dog. ]

Screw that. Professor Spaniard said that if I keep up on how I'm going, Morla will totally bang me. So I'm totally doing this.

I'll bet twenty marks that hiring him will get you some serious brownie points with Her Majesty. [ she doesn't really think this; she also just doesn't really care. she wants those siege tactics locked up in tyrion's mind -- the ones he so barely half-bragged about so they must be true. ]

I didn't realise awesome also carried the definition of being frequently blood-spattered and never having enough firewood for the...hearth.

It's called a hearth, right?

What is this, the 1400s?

Wait, why did I even ask that. Just call it a bonfire or something.

This is exactly the 1400s, you-- [ oh why bother. he already chastised himself. ]

You up-sell the retirement package. [ back to head-hunting tyrion, ok. ] I'll wax glorious about our lovely bonfires. But try not to go into too much detail about the imps. I don't think he likes them very much.

But the imps are awesome and they voted for me. Does a man turn his back on his allies?

Just...don't mention them too much. Try not to go overboard.
