To be fair, I think we should let him go in the end, it'll be better for business. But we're going to get some concessions for that.

I was anticipating something like this, hence why he's in the Special Projects part of the Larder.

But yes, those concessions are not going to be pleasant for the Court of Stars.
 
Viserys sassing lords is the top tier of this quest, really, considering update after update where we are wheedling and charming people into doing what we want, now we're sort of nudging them along in social encounters with the "Viserys is just slightly more irritated after that remark than he was ten seconds ago" lines.

Of course we haven't just unloaded on anyone yet. I am still expecting Viserys to get exasperated and just blow someone's fucking mind with all the stuff he's done, the hoops they have had to jump through up until that moment.

Even a thimble full of the Truth could turn some into gibbering wrecks I imagine.

"More dutiful knights have never been seen, though all this watching for new perils can get tiresome on old bones," Olenna Tyrell says softly. Her words trail their meaning plain to your ears: We made a painful bargain, but it was still better than most got. What are you offering?

[X] Plan Subtext
-[X] "I can assure you that it is not any less tiresome on young bones. To watch every shade for daggers and every face for duplicity... A good Companion to share the burden can be worth more then gold in these days." // We both know that you betrayed us, so don't expect this bargain to be cheap.
-[X] "However, enough with the barbed words for now. No matter how long we talk about the past, it will not change, but the future isn't yet set in stone. When the day of reckoning comes, it will be loyalty in trying times that weighs the most, not misgivings over old grievances." // You have exactly one chance if you want to rejoin Team Dragon. Waste it and we waste you. Simple as that.
-[X] "Let us speak about bargains of a more mortal kind. The Brachina used your brother Garth to amass quite some debt for Highgarden while emptying the treasury as fast as possible. As a sign of good faith, I would offer you to use my contacts and funds to restructure your assets and liabilities. Consolidate the debts to me, at a much more reasonable interest, and buy some of the loans made at a reasonable price, despite the atrocious credit of the debtors. That should leave you with enough funds to stay liquid and pay off the more troublesome creditors, giving you the time needed to repair the damage done to your coffers." // The gist of it: We buy some your credits and will buy up roughly 2/3rds of your liabilities from your debtors, leaving you with enough funds to pay off the other debts. There will be some large write-offs, but basically Highgarden remains at 1.5 million in liquid funds and will only still owe money to Viserys Targaryen Incorporated. If the idea of owing us money is too onerous already, we have nothing left to talk about and look forward to the Fields of Fire 2.0.
-[X] "Of course, these matters should not be done lightly and without documentation. Not with the sums involved. I would suggest the Iron Bank to officiate such a deal." // Translation: Let us meet in a hermetically warded room where no Fey is around to tattle. And keep your Mindblank knickers tight.

Leaving out the actual deal for now. That's something we need to talk about with Lady Uraka and the new Lord Florent first.

We broke Melisandre with the cliff-notes version already. I even refrained from adding that one time when we ate part of a goddess, had a little stroll through her metaphysical existence and then hightailed it out of there while blaming... I think we blamed Burny on that one...

I'm fairly sure Ymeri knew it was us.

I hope she has more desecrated Weirwoods up north. I want another shot at Flame Sense.

Please provide a proper example in how he would unload, I really wish to see what it would look like.

Man I can only imagine what Olenna is thinking about this situation and about Viserys right now. An Interlude of Olenna or Marg talking with her about Viserys would be fantastic.

"Remember that time I stopped Fey from brutally taking over an entire Free City which the world's economy somewhat hinges upon?"

"Remember that time I stopped Undead from overrunning and devouring a Free City which would have kicked off squabbling fratricidal war on the mainland in one fell swoop at the same time?"

"Remember that time I stopped another Free City from burning to the ground and taking literally millions with it, enough death to satiate any thirsting gods you can think of?"

"Remember that time I stopped a literal army of demons from slaughtering half of Essos?"

"Remember that time I stopped a host of wraithes and shadows from destroying a city?"

"Remember that time I stopped something worse than Tiamat from waking up from its long nap and unleashing a billion plagues on the world?"

"Remember that time I stopped like fourteen different but interconnected cells of Devils from putting every High Lord in Westeros in crippling debt?"

"Remember when I halfway aborted a Blackfyre conspiracy from installing a literal boy-king on the Iron Throne with not even a thin veneer hiding the slave collar Tiamat has yoked around his neck?"

Viserys, his Silence wearing off finally: "Remember--"

Lord: "I GET IT! PLEASE. STOP."

Viserys: "If I stop, the entire world does too."

Lord: "Starting to understand..."

Viserys: "You don't understand. See, I'm not even half way done!"

Will there ever actually be potential to do this? Cause id beg id bribe id do anything for this to happen.
 
I came here because I woke up in the middle of the night, checked my phone to see the time and saw a Snowfire notification.
And then it wasn't a HT-Viserys speech... :cry:

> Implying the Old Gods wouldn't take billions of Other-slaves as sacrifice when we need our postwar trees :lol:rofl::lol:rofl::lol:rofl:

And if they don't?
"Vee, Uncle! Make me a bigger funnel!"
 
The only thing that I could think about us boasting/recounting our successes would be our occasional talks with the Pondpope.
 
Yeah if the Tyrells actually agree to meet at the Iron Bank they are definitely sending Marg at the meeting to get that marriage they want. Their greed will accept nothing else.
 
I honestly cant see how the Tyrells could accept our post war plans vs completing their jump into bed with the Fey. If they do the latter right they could become feylords themselves and in theory independent from us. Joining us means getting bumped down to a mediocre dukedom for their troubles.

Heck, marrying Marg to Joff could put them on the throne and would mix the two most powerful Westerosi factions.
