the first. [video]

[themonsterswin]

[Yes, folks, this is an accidental video feed. Sansa hasn't been exposed to her device yet- and she wouldn't know what to do with it, anyhow. Whatever, here's a twelve-year-old girl at the fountain, looking completely and utterly bewildered. You may notice she is dressed as if she's stepped out of a period drama

[wandbreaker]

Well. No. It isn't any kind of jape at all.

Hello?

[themonsterswin]

[and now she's looking about somewhat frantically]

Hello? Who's there?

[wandbreaker]

Do you see a small...well, it looks a bit like a box, nearby?

[themonsterswin]

[searching, searching...and down by her feet, there it is. she kneels down and picks the thing up gingerly, cradling it between her hands.

-why is there a face in the box?]

...Hello?

[Rose is flipping through the network when she catches sight of the accidental video and a girl who looks more than a bit upset. Her brow furrows in concern and she turns her own video on.]

Hey, you all right there?

[Video]

[themonsterswin]

[another disembodied voice.]

Hello? Is this a trick?

Re: [Video]

[iam_thebadwolf]

Not a trick. Sorry 'bout that. [She's getting up in preparation to go to Sansa.] You're all right though.

[themonsterswin]

[At least she knows where the voices are coming from, now. As to the rest...]

Am I? Am I truly? I hardly know what to think.

[branstark]

[Bran knows that voice anywhere, and his heart leaps into his throat. He fumbles with the video function on his device for a bit, both because it's new and because his fingers are clumsy with the excitement and anticipation. Eventually, he manages to turn it on.]

Sansa?

[themonsterswin]

[Nothing is real. The fountain ledge beneath her isn't real. The light spray of water against her neck, her cheeks, isn't real. The little box in her hands isn't real.

And yet-]

Bran...

[Her brother's face. Why would the box show her brother's face, why would it speak with her brother's voice?]

How can this be? It's not possible.

[branstark]

I don't know.

[His lips pout a little.]

I thought it was a dream at first. Only, now it's been five days. Maybe six.

[themonsterswin]

[She will not cry. She will not. Even though her eyes burn, she will not cry.]

Bran- it's really you?

[Even though her voice catches, she will not cry.]

[commarogue]

You new, kid?

[themonsterswin]

I...suppose I am, yes.

[commarogue]

Get the rundown yet? I'm crap at the intro thing, but there's a Welcome Center and a Youth Center you can hang out at. Unless you've got someone here to help you.

[themonsterswin]

[pause]

Forgive me, but...your turns of phrase...I've not heard their like before.
