Renly Baratheon | Game of Thrones therainbowking November 1 2011, 22:45:26 UTC
[The video flicks on to show a handsome young man, staring baffled at the device in his hands. He shakes his head after a moment or two, frowning, and speaks.]

This is all very strange. I'm meant to communicate with this little box, then? Very well.

I cannot assume that this is some badly conceived kidnapping attempt, considering what's just happened at home, so apparently it's some very odd form of afterlife. I doubt whoever is here may know them, but -- it would be appreciated to have news of Westeros. Or, perhaps, word of Stannis Baratheon or Loras Tyrell, if anyone knows of them.

[He pauses, then gives a self-deprecating grin.] I'd nearly forgotten. Hello, whoever may be listening. I am Renly Baratheon, lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

Ah, another king to add to the growing pile. Anatole is like to get overrun by crowns in short order.

Yessss Jaime trollin' = the best trollin' therainbowking November 1 2011, 23:57:19 UTC
And kingslayers too, I see. [A beat.] The last I had heard, you weren't dead, so I assume this is hardly an afterlife.

WELL WHAT ELSE CAN HE DO WITH HIS TIME, NONE OF HIS KINGS ARE HERE oathbroken November 2 2011, 00:00:56 UTC
Yes, it's true. I do seem to have a rather nasty habit of surviving despite the odds, don't I? You, on the other hand, can't get on a suit of armor without bleeding all over your guardians.

Odd how that works out, doesn't it?

But no, this is no afterlife. At least to hear Ned Stark tell it.

MAKE SNARKY COMMENTS AT PEOPLE? therainbowking November 2 2011, 00:05:15 UTC
[Drily:] Thank you for the reminder, I had nearly forgotten that bit.

[Sob. It's not his fault his brother has creepy shadow-babies, Jaime!]

...My. I take it his head is attached, then.

that's pretty much his plan for the day. oathbroken November 2 2011, 00:43:16 UTC
Hardly impressive. Dead men have poor memories. Or so I've heard.

[CHARMING SMILE!!! SHINE BABY SHINE.]

But yes. This city seems quite fond of reattaching body parts and raising the dead. It does make for a number of awkward moments, but overall it's been interesting enough.

RENLY CAN JOIN HIM. ...AND BE A SASSY GAY FRIEND. ..Or something. therainbowking November 2 2011, 00:54:09 UTC
How would you know? You've never been dead, to my knowledge.

[NO JAIME. You are not hotter than Loras, sorry.]

It's certainly a very odd sort of city, then. [He pokes at the screen a bit and frowns.] --Who else is here, then? Aside from yourself and Lord Stark.

BEAUTIFUL SNARK oathbroken November 2 2011, 01:21:28 UTC
I did say "so I've heard." It stands to reason, though - corpses can't do very much of use, other than lie about and stink up the place. And get their guardians accused of murder.

Which, incidentally, is what happened to that ox of a woman you draped a cloak over. I hear that knight of yours nearly gutted her.

Not that it matters, here. Neither of them are present. Instead, this fair city has seen fit to drop a litter of Starks on us, as well as my brother and the last Targaryen.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER therainbowking November 2 2011, 06:47:37 UTC
I should think I would remember my own death.

[A frown.] Did he?

[--Jaime, you just made his face fall a little, but don't tell him that.] The Starks aren't so bad. Nor is your brother.

and then longer than that oathbroken November 2 2011, 07:04:45 UTC
One never knows how people will turn up, here. Ned Stark had no idea he'd been shortened by a head. There'd be a pile high as the Twin's Manor if all the dead men stopped walking around.

As for the Starks and my brother, one isn't bad and the others can rot in the ground with all their honor. And with you, for that matter. Nothing personal, of course, Baratheon. I simply prefer my corpses to stay down once they fall.

It does make life simpler when they don't go round spouting secrets and whining about their terrible fates.

Oh indeed :D therainbowking November 2 2011, 07:44:07 UTC
Nothing personal. Of course. [A beat.] And how did you enjoy your stay with the Young Wolf's forces, Lannister?

[Why yes, this is a sweet smile.]

As for secrets, the only ones I can think of concerning you are ones my brother has much more interest in. Considering he's the last one of us.

HE LOOKS SO CHEEKY IN THAT ICON and omg i apologize for jaime oathbroken November 2 2011, 10:04:12 UTC
An enjoyable vacation indeed. I've always liked to take my rest in bondage, though I would normally prefer a somewhat more recreational use of chains.

In any case, once freed from the dungeons, I took the scenic route back to King's Landing, which was all the more relaxing I assure you.

[And this smile is way more charming than Loras's.]

And speaking of your brother, upon my return home, I found his army smashed to pieces. As I understand, it was your ghost that did it, so now that I think on it, walking about post-mortem should hardly be a new experience for you and your antlered helm.

LITTLEFINGER ALWAYS DESERVES CHEEK and never apologise i love this therainbowking November 2 2011, 17:29:28 UTC
Perhaps you should let that small tidbit slip near Littlefinger. I'm certain he would be happy to accommodate you.

[Pff, whatever, Loras is still the prettiest.]

Was it? How very curious.

forever. oathbroken November 3 2011, 03:05:31 UTC
Not quite my envisioned partner, I must admit.

[you wish.]

I thought it curious as well. Do you remember returning from the grave to lend your strength to my father's?
