[ A → PHONE ]

I don't even know what a communist is. But I don't like this announcement. The patrols. The questioning. I don't like any of it.

And... it smells different.

[A pause, and then Arya recites a list of names, followed by two words. It sounds almost like a prayer... but not a happy one.Ser Gregor, Dunsen, Raff the Sweetling. Ser Ilyn,

[demonoaths]

[Hey, Arya, you know the creepy boy the town seems to have assigned as your brother?

...yeah. He's escaped the house for a moment as well, not really feeling like telling random people about everything that's happened to him. Plus, there are still some comic books he hasn't been able to buy before today.

He does, however, notice.]

...What are you talking about?

[fearcutsdeeper]

[Oh. It's that boy. The one that people think is her brother. Arya frowns, but can't stop herself from answering the question.]

They're people. People who need to die. [She claps her hands over her mouth, but the action is delayed, too late to prevent her from speaking.]

[demonoaths]

Why would they need to die? And what's with the valar something you were muttering about?

[Ohoho, you bet he's going to milk this opportunity for all it's worth.]

[fearcutsdeeper]

[Arya glares at him; she can tell he's taking advantage of the opportunity, and she does not like it one bit.]

Because they've done terrible things.

Valar morghulis. All men must die.

[bullsit]

[oh whoops sorry for almost running into you crazy human child]

Oh wow, I do not think I know, that language, at all, but if you are looking for the Load Gaper Block, I think they have them, in all the hives.

[fearcutsdeeper]

[What. She doesn't think she knows your language either.]

The what? I don't even know what that is.

[bullsit]

I guess, that you don't need it then, sorry for bothering you, or wasting your time, which you were probably using for something important before I interrupted.

[fearcutsdeeper]

No. I wasn't, really.

...So what is a Load Gaper Block?

[flipping_fate]

Those names…

Are they of special import to you?

[fearcutsdeeper]

Yes.

They're people who need to die.

[flipping_fate]

…Mm.

I suppose they've wronged you in some way?

[fearcutsdeeper]

They've wronged more than just me. But yes. There are reasons I want them dead.

[richtighammer]

[Thor's experience with Mayfield is still rather limited. That said, he's quite sure that there weren't this many people running around the streets talking to themselves his first few days here. He hears Arya before he sees her - but that's enough to pique his curiosity.

She's quick, but his legs are long enough to keep him at least in earshot. He calls after her:]

You! What names are those?

[fearcutsdeeper]

[When she hears the shout behind her, Arya instinctively tries to bolt for it, but something makes her slow down and turn around to face her pursuer, and then answer him.]

Names of people who need to die. [She says it like it's the most ordinary thing in the world, then wrinkles her nose at him; he's unfamiliar to her.] Who are you?

[richtighammer]

[Thor takes that explanation in stride. He's made similar lists before. Strange that she should have one so young. But his reply is friendly, in a gruff, bear-like sort of way.]

I am Thor, son of Odin. [He still says it in the vague hope that someone here will know who he is.] And what have they done, that one so small should wish them dead?

[fearcutsdeeper]

[LATE LATE sorry don't feel obligated to respond! catching up on tags just in case]

Never heard of you. [Arya gives him another suspicious look. It almost seems like he wants to be recognized, but the names are unfamiliar to her.]

Lots of terrible things. They killed my family. [She covers her mouth, but it's too late, so she quickly keeps talking.] And I might be small, but I'm strong.

[The curse seems to have run its course in Chizuko. She unties the gag she'd tied over her own mouth as she finishes her errands. That's when she sees the girl who was trying to get into the bar that one time...]

If you're having trouble, I suggest tying something over your mouth.

[fearcutsdeeper]

[Arya gives the other girl a look. The thought hadn't occurred to her, but it annoys her that it didn't. She doesn't want to admit that, but with the curse affecting her, it comes out anyway.]

I didn't think of that.

[grand_theft_moe]

[She hands her the gag.]

I think it's run its course on me.
