01 ) day; accidental audio

[whatdowesayto]

[ The audio clicks on with the sound of a large whap. Arya stumbles back and hits the ground, the PORTAL rolling out from under her belt. ]

Watch where you're walking, kid.

You were the one who wouldn't move! I asked!

Not loud enough. Respect your elders, kid. You should ask before shoving your way--

[ Arya cuts him off. ] I didn't ask to come

[ Oh-- ]

Are you okay?

[ Arya pushes herself up, clutching the sword with her. Unfortunately, she doesn't notice the PORTAL is the thing talking to her. Instead, she's looking around for who might of said it. ]

[oneminutemaze]

Oh-- Uh. Check your PORTAL -- I think it's on the ground. [ Judging by the view she's getting, anyway. ]

[ Her eyes turn to the book. ]

You mean the book? Books don't talk.

[Well, this child seems quite bossy and confident. A dangerous combination, but Dexter didn't mind all that much. The child was new, most likely, so he'd be happy to fill her in.]

You might have a lot of questions, but I can tell you where you are. You're in Promenade.

[whatdowesayto]

[ She looks over at the PORTAL, which to her is a lovely fashioned book. ]

That's a stupid name.

[truncates]

It's a dream city. Could you have come up with something better?

[whatdowesayto]

If they're dreams then you don't have to make anything up.

[Busy streets are exciting. Even being able to say you've been everywhere doesn't mean you've had the full experience. She's never been able to walk down a bustling street. Of which she's fairly sure that little children aren't supposed to be shoved around like that, even if they look like a little orphaned street rat.

Welp. One hand reaches down, hooks under the girl's (there's no hiding your gender from a TARDIS, you know) arm and hauls her up like she weighs nothing more than a sheet of paper- and plunks her down to her feet again.]

Next time you should kick him in the shins.

forever action!!

[whatdowesayto]

[ Arya let's out a shriek of surprise and is hauled up. She starts flailing around, trying to push the woman off. ]

Let me go!

[suchasadword]

[Whoa- feisty one! Fine fine, it wasn't like she was holding on, anyway.]

What's the matter? Do I look like I'm hurting you? [ B| ]

[whatdowesayto]

[ She stumbles forward and turns to face the oddly dressed woman, hand on Needle's hilt. ]

You stay away. Just, stay back!

Are you alright? Your arrival is poorly timed. The locals are generally more welcoming.

[whatdowesayto]

I... think so. [ She's investigating the strange book now. ] Why would it matter to you?

video;

[beyourshadow]

Common decency. Are you more used to people looking the other way?

[whatdowesayto]

[ Arya bites the inside of her mouth. ]

I'm an orphan. No one pays attention to orphans.

[keeperofthederp]

You will not find gold cloaks but there are guards who wear masks as we are all bid during the day.

[Why yes that is a giant dragon staring very intently.]

video; VELES Y U DO THIS

[whatdowesayto]

[ Moving pictures are odd---Arya lets out a gasp of surprise and drops the book. Dragons. Like the bones she saw in the Red Keep, except it's not just bones. It's alive. ]

video; HE IS A DRAGON

[keeperofthederp]

Has the cat caught your tongue [there is a smug pause here] young lady?

video; NOT ALL DRAGONS ARE MEANIES

[whatdowesayto]

[ She nearly shouts 'I'm not a girl' at the book, but manages to bite it back. ]

I'm an orphan.
