[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.

Well, well, look who cleaned up.

So you were a banker, huh?

[He was being nice and not mentioning leprechauns and pots of gold, not that he thought this guy would understand it.]

And what if someone at one of these spires agreed. What sort of duties could you provide?

[It was the tower of misfit vampires and deviant soldiers. Come party, Tyrion.]

I am a ruler of one of those aid spires. And I am always interested in gaining more...assistance.

Though I am more inclined to speak specifics in person.

Are you like...the rich little guy? Because that's literally a stereotype that I've never seen in my life. This is like the first time someone opens up TVTropes and discovers a whole new world.

TVTropes is a shit website by the way.

I'm not talking through my ass quite yet. I'll warn you when it happens though. But why don't you just like...steal more gold.

You have a black belt in buying things. [ at least that's how she's understanding it. ] That's -- okay, that's kinda-enviable.

The king, huh? Lofty little accountant. And that's what you expect to do now, mm? For a price? Those little gold pieces you need to have a little fun at some of the more preferred tourist locations for those less inclined towards history and more towards scratching certain itches?

[ archer!

buffy lowers her voice into a whisper over the lockets -- despite having made their conversation a private one. such skulduggery merely requires whispering. ]
Woo him! Hire him! He knows things -- about gold and sieges. And he knows how to talk like he's not the most boring person in the world ever. [ unlike 99% of the rest of these old world folk. ]

Whatever the other Spire-lords are offering him? Double it.

Hahaha. You like midgets!

[Don't mind him as he laughs.]

Hahaha, oh goooooooooood.

Seriously though, what am I supposed to do? Give him the other river fort?

[ and this is the part where buffy actually has to take a moment to realize that this tyrion guy is anything but the crass modern society definition of normal. these lockets need bigger...screens. ]

Well. No. Not at first. What kind of idiot picks a stranger off the street and gives them a whole fort? That's stupid.

[ ...stupid like exactly what archer did for buffy. whoops. ] He'll have to prove himself. Obviously.

Uh, I did it for you? What are you, some kind of misandrist? Would you like a fedora for that, ma'am?

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. ]

Done.

Dude, these parties are going to be [hold on, doing a valley girl accent] awesooooooooooooooooooooome.

Fair enough. So sell me on why I should think about taking you on...
