First Debt

[debtfree]

[After Lysa Stark's little episode in the Vale, and finding himself summarily moved from the Tower of the Hand while he was injured, he had hoped not to wake up somewhere unexpected again for the rest of his life. Apparently that was too much to ask for.

There is the sound of banging through the journal as Tyrion kicks the door, trying to call a jailer's attention, not wanting to make a fool of himself by trying to open a doubtlessly locked door. When he speaks, his voice is almost mocking, with just a biting edge of sarcasm beneath it.]

I find that this is growing old. I don't mean to be ungrateful for the hospitality, it's only that I mustn't be away from King's Landing for too long or the whores all start despairing. It's a tragedy to let a pair of teats go to waste like that, you know, and I'm sure you don't want that on your conscience.

...Hello?

[When his usual patter is eliciting no response, not even a cursory yell to be quiet, he starts to lose the false humour from his voice, kicking the door again.]

Hey! HEY! Whatever my sister has paid you, I will double it. HELLO?

[Anyone who could say that had obviously never met Cersei, or they were too enamoured with her to think she could put a step wrong.]

You underestimate my sister, good sir.

[peacockherald]

_{[He is, thankfully, the former.]}

I will take your word for that, but I only say what I do because - you have never been to Paradisa before, I suspect?

tyrion loves molotov already

[debtfree]

[He did move back, backpedalling against the wall with the strange sound of that shot ringing in his ears.

What... is she dressed (or not dressed) in?]

Those are welcome words to my ears.

see you later!

[debtfree]

[Oh wonderful, apparently the Starks just don't stay dead any more. That's two of them that have popped up like weeds now.]

Lady Stark, this is a pleasure I didn't expect to have again.

[molotov]

[She's dressed in the best clothes, duh! Molotov just smirks.]

Usually people are not so happy when I come to collect my fee.

[heloise]

Your sister?

not here;

[songsandstories]

[That voice. Her eyes are wide when she hears it. Part of the shock is the immediate guilt that she feels. She left, and more than likely Joffrey's death will be on his head. Part of her wants to ask if he is well, but she can't.

She can't reveal herself to him, because this is the very reason why she is Alayne.

Sansa Stark is no more as it were, though none here knew it. Instead, she needs to seek out Catelyn.]

dictated

[starhipped]

[Well, how .. shocking!]

You shouldn't say things like that! There are children around!

[ino]

[... lmao. less than impressed, this girl. flatly:]

The door's unlocked, you know.

And back!

[wintercat]

[Oh, joy. This again. Nothing a woman likes to hear more than "I thought you were dead."]

Something I have heard more than I would like lately.

action

[adorbs]

[Nanako was just walking down the hall when she heard someone... yelling? and kicking a door? Uh oh, that sounds like trouble. She walks a little faster until she finds the door where the noise is coming from. At first she wonders if it's something dangerous, but it sounds like the man inside is... trapped? She wonders, is the door locked? For a moment she debates if she should go get help, but... if someone is trapped, then she should try to help them first :( So once there's a pause in the door kicking she'll come over to jiggle the handle before the door.......

opens?

N-Not quite sure what to do, she'll just poke her head into the room and look around to see who's stuck inside]

H-Hello?

[its_worthdoing]

Oh wow. [Now even especially addressing him]. You are going to have a lot to adjust to.

(action) hope its okay

[not_like_the_rest]

(Normally Johanna would find this all terribly amusing, but she's in a mood at the moment because of all the people from Panem being pricks. So instead of doing anything close to helpful she sneaks up to the door without a sound. She takes the door nob and waits for another kick to the door. Right as he does that she swings the door wide open so he kicks air instead though.)

[formercheerio]

So much for good company. [ That's just disgusting, Tyrion ]

[withmymind]

There was no money.

[whichwayyoulean]

I don't know either of those places, but this place is Paradisa. Sorry, buddy, you're not home any more.

[Alas, Tyrion, your fantastic jest is indeed lost on him]

[debtfree]

[He's never heard of 'Paradisa', not even in books of far away lands, and that unnerves him more than most things.]

Then if you would be so good as to show me the door, I'd be all too happy to be on my way.

[debtfree]

[He hadn't been expecting anything to happen.

Swinging his stunted legs and leaning back a little, he raised a hand to rub at the horrendous scab where his nose used to be again.]

Alas, magic often turns out to be nothing but stories.

[debtfree]

I have been to the edge of the world and back, but I've never heard of that place.

[debtfree]

I will consider it a fee well paid, if it is well earned. I quite like my head attached to my shoulders, you see.

[debtfree]

[Not that he is particularly fond of Catelyn, but he can't help thinking that at least Sansa would be happy. And perhaps if she had survived then the rumours of Robb's death were incorrect as well, meaning that Tywin had married him off for no reason at all. Winterfell would never belong to him.]

I am sure my Lady Wife will take as much pleasure in this news as I do.

[Could he have told her more nicely? Maybe. But he was rather irritated at being kidnapped again.]

o7

[debtfree]

[Back-stepping a few paces in case the door opened, Tyrion hadn't been expecting a knock and inquiry of quite that nature. What was going on here?!]

Oh yes, there is nothing quite like the thrill of waking up somewhere unrecognisable.

[debtfree]

Cersei Lannister. The queen.

You must know her, my lady. Arrogant, righteous, magnificent cheekbones?

[debtfree]

[Don't be like that, wife.

He would have sought her out had he known she was here, but he's a little busy dealing with his in-laws right now.]

[molotov]

Is someone intending to cut it off?
