[The voice feed starts with a half a minute of silence, almost as if some accident has caused it to be turned on. And then--a quiet sound, almost like a dog's yip, but with a rougher edge. Another yip, coaxing, and finally, something more human, a breath--]There’s a tale of a scrying glass that was used to talk across leagues and oceans, but it was

S'called a video-watch. Guess that might be the easiest name for it. Or just a communicator. Never heard of a scrying glass that can be used across oceans, though.

[What was it, like a magic mirror or something?] Can't say I've heard of anyone called Hodor here either, though.

[Now that he knows a bit more, replying this way--portraits, that move--seems safer. Still, Bran is a bit hesitant.]

He isn't here, but I thought he might be. And the scrying glass is only a story, it can't be used at all. It's not real.

I've never heard of a video-watch.

video | wow I must be tired, I am so sorry for that word-repeat fail ndfsjk /embarrassed

[yousaidblue]

No, I suppose you wouldn't have. [Judging by the dialect and general lack of techno-knowledge...]

S'alright though, not everyone has. Just make sure you keep it on you. It'll keep you in touch with anyone else who's here. [And then a smile.]

I'm Rose.

video | don't even worry about it, I'm so tired I didn't notice until you said something sdhfer

[greenstark]

[He considers her smile uncertainly, but it's difficult not to respond in kind. There are those who look fair but are foul, to be sure--]

I'm Bran. Are there many here?

video | what is sleep who needs it pshh

[yousaidblue]

[Rose would be no opponent to that sort of statement- except maybe against herself.]

Nice t'meet you, Bran.

And yeah, seems t'be plenty. Might even be close to a hundred here... Hard to say without any sort've written document.

[She should make a list- except there seem to be more and more people showing up every few days.]

video | ME APPARENTLY as I passed out h-haha

[greenstark]

I'm glad to meet you, too.

But why take people from their homes and bring them to this place? [And so many people, and all of them strangers--but no Freys or Greyjoy or anyone. That part was a blessing.] Who is doing this?

video | ssssssso did I 8D

[yousaidblue]

That's a good question. One I'm 'fraid I don't got an answer for, yet. But we're- a bunch of people, most of us I'd imagine, are all lookin' to figure that out.

Have you got anyone here you do know? Besides who you were lookin' for.

video | THEN WE ARE BOTH FORGIVEN :,)

[greenstark]

[He nods.]

My brothers, and my sisters. We're almost all of us here, though the magic didn't bring Rickon. [Which is worrying, and he looks down for a second.] Are you alone?

video

[yousaidblue]

Oh good! Family's good, be sure to keep 'em close.

Kind of a yes and no sort've answer. No, not technically alone, but no one here from the right time.

video

[greenstark]

Then from a wrong time?

video

[yousaidblue]

Somethin' like that. Both from my past.

video

[greenstark]

People you once knew? Did you leave them?

video

[yousaidblue]

[Oh Bran, what a way to phrase it.]

Not intentionally, no.

video

[greenstark]

[Not intentionally is something that he knows about. He nods, looking down.]

The magic that keeps us here brings lots of reunions.

[yousaidblue]

[Rose wouldn't go as far as to say it's magic, but she's not about to correct him. Stranger things have happened.]

Seems so. S'quite a mess of time lines, all overlapping and looping. Don't suppose you know what a paradox is, then? Lots of those around. So far nothing bad's come of it, which is ... good.

[greenstark]

[He hesitates, not wanting to appear stupid.]

We have no paradox in Westeros. Is it an object?
