Who: margaery tyrell.
Broadcast: fleet wide.
Action: Marsiva ; hospitality deck
When: current

[ the girl who sits in front of the camera seems as if she is quite well-versed in this manner of communication. if she had spent precious time watching others from afar before trying her hand at it as to not look foolish, it does not show. the only hint of how foreign she is to this setting is her manner of dress but give it a few seconds and you might start thinking this is somehow natural, too.

after all, she does seem very comfortable. Margaery's smile is sweet and bright, her hair is flowing down her shoulders and a few roses are placed neatly in her lap, almost a portrait-worthy moment before she speaks. ]

If I am not entirely mistaken, these are our best chance of speaking to one another. I did not wish to appear ill-mannered in failing to introduce myself.

[ to her fellow hostages and to the audience watching. she made certain to appear especially lovely for this. if they love you from the first moment, they shall be yours forever if you mind your step. ]

I am Margaery of House Tyrell; some of you I had the pleasure of meeting already and as for the rest, I am eager to speak to you as soon as it pleases you. I understand we are to spend quite some time together and it would please me to know each and every one of you. I am certain you have fascinating tales to tell of your time here or where you come from; if you ever wish to share, I shall be honored to provide company. I know little of such vessels and adventures but I am keen to learn all that I may.

[ and win whatever game this is. she dips her chin, a humble gesture. ]

For now, I hope I am welcome among you and dearly hope this finds you well.

[ Leto had been wandering around when he heard the broadcast. It was only a matter of using his abilities to find her. He lets her finish her little introduction, leaning against the door with a smirk.

A Noble House. Albeit none he has ever heard of before. But the same rules must apply. ]

Short and sweet. Well done.

[ action ]

[partialities]

[ here is a young man who's not a stranger to the concept of power. margaery can tell at once, from the way he carries himself to the tone of his voice. mayhaps this is a man who knows what to do with power. lately, with her darling husband-to-be, she had take the role of such a way of thinking onto herself.

she smiles at him, clasps her hands in her lap as she speaks. ]

I do not wish to torment my prospective friends with speeches. If they find me to be a bore already, it would be quite tragic.

[Her manner of speaking and dress remind Riona a bit of home, though she is by far the politest person she's come across so far. Not to disparage those she's met, but goodness, this girl is pulling out all the stops.

And is remarkably composed for a newcomer.]

Getting to know every single person here may be a monumental task; there are quite a few. [With seventeen ships in the fleet and many reporting to be overcapacity, well... the math spoke for itself.] But it's admirable of you to want to try.

Riona Cousland. Pleasure to meet you.

video

[partialities]

I ought to at least strive for it, Lady Riona.

[ she speaks with an air of nobility, with pretty words and a sweet smile and margaery's smile grows in response, turning from bright to secretive, as if the two are dear friends already. ]

I am certain I could learn from everyone and I am certain they would prove to be such sweet company with their tales.

[Video]

[misterprongs]

[ house tyrell. it doesn't sound familiar, but james has been well indoctrinated into how westeros works by now, and so he can only hazard a guess that this lovely lady is from the same world as sansa and her brothers.

and so! ]

Do you happen to know Lady Sansa?

[Video]

[partialities]

[ well this is certainly interesting. margaery had been plucked like a flower from her own world a moment before she was to become queen and while that has been a setback, the foreign surrounding had been a second one. yet he speaks a name that makes her smile grow brighter, sweeter around the edges. ]

I think myself very fortunate to name Lady Sansa as my sweetest friend. Tell me, have you came across her in this realm?

video

[percolates]

Each and every one? That might take some time. [Though it's not like there's much else to do, currently.]

video

[partialities]

From what I have heard, we seem to have an endless supply of it, have we not?

[ and that is precious commodity in itself. time is something one has to be very careful of. lose sight of it and it shall flow between your fingers and you would miss the moment that sets apart a player from a pawn. even here, there is no time to lose, not when margaery seeks another precious commodity, friendships.

they are a key to both knowledge and protection, after all. ]

If I may say, you have the most beautiful hair. I have never seen a color so lovely.

[video]

[helladoomed]

[The blue haired teen just looks amused.]

Jeez, aren't you a formal one.

[video]

[partialities]

I would not wish to be thought of as crude.

[ her smile is still sweet but there is an impish edge just along the edges of it, hinting that she could be informal if provided the right company. ]

I imagine that most of the passengers among the different vessels know each other well by now and such formality is no longer needed.

[ a hum ]

If I may ask, have you been here for a long time?

action;

[shockput]

[ ooc: continued from here. ]

[ He offers her his arm comfortably that she may walk, indeed she is nobility or royalty. ]

You must tell me your name, then, for I doubt I can find one to ascribe to you.

action;

[partialities]

You are being far too kind, I imagine there are at least two dozens of such possible names.

[ she could make a game of it but she settles for a simple answer for now. ]

I am Margaery of House Tyrell.

[ she halts to offer him a small curtsy, still holding onto his arm ]

and now I will have the name of my charming company.

video

[pneumo]

I don't think I have any real tales to tell...but it's nice to meet you too, wow♥ [ Sou friendly...Sascha's touched. Most people on the Marsiva were a lot more standoffish when he was there. ]

video

[partialities]

Now, that I shan't believe. Every man has tales to tell.

[ she leans forward, as if wishing to share a secret with him ( everyone is listening but she seems to ignore that altogether). her smile is still sweet and her voice is lowered, more mischievous. ]

I have found that those who boast of their tales are a terribly bore. I am certain you and I have far more interesting ones to exchange.

video;

[ino]

[ Wow. This is one of the strangest introductions she has ever seen. Ino is far more accustomed to the usual upset and outrage most first posts tend to contain, so this is just ... ]

You're awfully comfortable, all things considered.

video;

[partialities]

This - deck, they call it? You must forgive me, the semantics are still a little new to me - it is very comfortable. I admit, I am not well-versed in this manner of transportation but I shan't complain of the accommodations when everyone is already being so kind.

[ and nobody likes a girl who whines, that would be a show of weakness and that is entirely out of the question ]

video;

[theshabbiestofmen]

[Well! That's a familiar method of speaking, though he won't presume such just from that clue alone.]

Remus Lupin. If you've any questions-- or simply want to get to know someone else-- I'd be happy to be of service.

video;

[partialities]

Sweet Remus Lupin.

[ margaery is all smiles when she responds to him. ]

You are so kind to offer me both answers and your friendship. I admit, this is so new to me, I fear I do not even know what to ask of you. I probably seem so silly at the moment, you must forgive me.

[ she looks down at her hands; shy, at once, about her lack of knowledge. ]

I shall ask you this first, how are you? has today been a good day?

Video

[bigvessel]

Well, aren't you a pretty picture? And taking this pretty well. Or maybe just laying it on a little thick? C'mon, sweetheart, I bet there's at least one kidnapping alien race you hope aren't doing all that well right now.

Video

[partialities]

[ she laughs, bright and amused, brushing a few brown curls behind an ear at the compliment as well as at the teasing. ]

I shall never assume anything before meeting them personally.

[ and a moment later ]

perhaps I am more keen on knowing my charming company.

video;

[greyjane]

[Well isn't that just the most charming introduction. Shai gives the woman a cheerful little mock-salute with two fingers.]

It's a pleasure, sweetheart. Name's Shai. I'm new to the 'Fleet but I've been in space most've my life, so you need any help you let me know.

video;

[partialities]

Lady Shai.

[ margaery peers closely at her, a smile playing on her lips at the nickname and her words. a woman well-versed in their surroundings is someone worthy of keeping close. differences is levels of formality are a small bridge to cross over. ]

You are so sweet to offer me your help, you have my thanks. I know so very little of this scenery. Have you spent most of your life in space?

[steeledskin]

[ -- it's a voice that makes her heartbeat fall out of line and thunder a little faster. sansa, hungry for a scrap of familiar friendship, stares at the device for a good five or six seconds. margaery tyrell. queen, by now. but she doesn't introduce herself as such and sansa must wonder whether the other young woman is playing a game of her own. she will not put it past highgarden. not any longer. ]

What good fortune it is to see you once again. [ but she doesn't quite smile. not yet -- she's waiting to take her cue from margaery. ]

[partialities]

There is a song to be written about this very moment. Shall I tell you what is it about?

[ a beat, a smile ]

A young lady plucked from her home and sent upon a vessel that sails the sky only to meet a friend as dear and as lovely as the starts themselves upon it.

[ and then, she softens ]

I have heard of words of your presence but I dared not believe it. How happy I am to see you, sweetling, please tell me you are well.

[nulliverse]

[Twinners are nothing new to Celeste - in fact, they were a singular torment at certain times in Eudio - so the resemblance to Irene strikes her and fades in a millisecond.

(Well, there is a part of it that lingers with her, but only that this is one of the most beautiful forms in the entire multiverse that a woman can take. Even more so in the period dress and style, which Celeste rather awkwardly discovered didn't suit her own make and model at all. But now isn't the time for girlcrushes.)]

Good lord, you're cool as a cucumber. Did they bring you straight from finishing school?

video;

[partialities]

[ she chuckles at her words, the sound bright and surprised because dear gods, she had never heard this particular simile before. ]

Is that a common saying? I have never heard it before. I have to say I reckon I quite adore it.

[ were that loras were here so she could tell him he needs to learn to be as cool as a cucumber like his darling sister. ]

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka occasionally greets the newcomers, but it's the reaction of one of his crew that brings him here. He likes Sansa, and for her to react positively to someone, as a friend...it means a lot. Maybe she can have a little bit of happiness here. ]

Hi there, welcome to the Fleet. I'm Sokka. You a friend of Sansa?

Video

[partialities]

You are well met, Sokka.

[ it seems that sansa had won herself many friends. it does not surprise margaery, sansa is beautiful and sweet and gentle. it pleases her to know that she had made herself some valuable connections here, she had been so lonely in king's landing. ]

Lady Sansa is a dear friend of mine, we have known each other for quite come time. Tell me, has she been safe and well? Are you also fortunate enough to be named her friend?

[avaricious]

[Oh, someone who plays the game. Well, that's interesting. He's so busy stuck having someone else running his body, he doesn't get to engage in this kind of thing often. And seeing as it's his turn right now...]

Welcome to the fleet. My name is Ling of the Yao clan, Prince of Xing.

[partialities]

[ someone who is very keen on winning the game, as it happens. anything else would be a terrible loss. she is to be the one who wins as she has to be one to go back and pluck the fruit she truly desires, a crown and seven kingdoms to rule upon.

she bows her head, a smile playing on her lips ]

You are well met, my Prince, what honor it is to meet you.

[video]

[takeabow]

[ Nova's video crops up. She's in relaxed clothing with her hair in a side braid. she studies Margaery for a moment, decides she doesn't actually know her, and speaks up ]

I don't think you want to hear my sob story.

[video]

[partialities]

Stories are not true stories unless they are somewhat sad.

[ she looks sympathetic, however. lately, especially where she comes from, all stories seem to be filled with tears and blood and pain. it is the way of war, it turns everything sharper and sadder, not even Margaery can be charming enough to make people forget that. ]

You have beautiful hair, do you style it yourself?

video.

[brainiest]

[ Ah - ah. Hermione blinks, pausing for a moment, and then she finds words, pushing her anxiety to one side before she musters herself. ]

Margaery Tyrell - is... Is Loras your brother?

video.

[partialities]

You know Loras?

[ she certainly does not know the girl. it is a sweet hope to imagine her brother is here but at the same time, she dares not believe it. would she not have heard from him by now if he were? Loras would never leave her to face all of this by herself. ]

He is, he is my beloved brother. I wonder, have you two met here?

[video]

[imahologram]

[Leia recognizes the girl's type immediately--she grew up with it, is it when she needs to be. Well-bred--Margaery of House Tyrell--and personable, and utterly inscrutable.

Admittedly, Margaery looks far more picturesque than she suspects she ever did at that age. Leia had had some command over her presence, but it was rarely so effortlessly pretty. Even now, she takes a moment to make sure her braids are properly pinned before flicking on her video feed.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Margaery. [There's a fraction of a second when she debates whether she wants to play the titles-and-rank game, but they clearly mean something to this girl, and when in Coruscant...] I am Leia Organa, of the Royal House of Alderaan. Welcome to the Fleet--and if it's not exactly where you were hoping to end up, you have my sympathies.

[video]

[partialities]

Lady Alderaan, you are well-met.

[ and margaery does so love the hair do. it is different than the ones of the southorn ladies, refreshing and elegant as the woman herself. she bows her head, smiling brightly at her words. ]

How sweet and comforting you are, I thank you for the kind sentiments. I admit, I would never imagine a place such as this but it is indeed the farthest I have ever been from home.

video;

[theirinurpants]

[ Pretty girl alert! That, and her rather flowery way of talking has Alistair on his best behavior. Mostly. ]

Pleasure to meet you, Lady Margaery. I'm Alistair. Of House... Theirin? [ She probably doesn't know Theirin any more than he knows Tyrell, so that's okay, right? Even if it's still a little weird to claim that name as his own. Sure, technically, legally it's his now, but for most of his life, he was just Alistair. Alistair the bastard. ] Honestly, I just got here myself a couple weeks ago, so not much interesting has happened yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

video;

[partialities]

You are well-met, Lord Alistair.

[ while she has little knowledge of his house, margaery shows it every bit of honor she would show if she did. her beloved husband-to-be would have dismissed the man and his house entirely but quite fortunately, he is not here to spoil her efforts at diplomacy. ]

I am certain of it as well; I am also certain you have tales of your own world, as exciting as those who would be later told of this realm.

video;

[reek]

House Tyrell?

[ There's a scoff in his voice and a smirk on his lips. Truthfully, he wouldn't care about the Tyrells at all if he didn't feel as if he was supposed to. His grandfather Quellon had been killed in a battle with the Redwyne fleet during Robert's Rebellion. The Redwynes have always been loyal to the Tyrells. It's a bit of a reach, but he's certain it's something Balon would want him to be bitter about.

Be the best Greyjoy you can be, buddy. It will never be good enough. ]

Tell me, do the Shield Islanders still quiver at the very mention of Quellon Greyjoy's eldest sons?

video;

[partialities]

[ she remains poised and calm as she had minutes before but there is something sharper in her eyes. still, manners first. ]

I do not think anyone in the Seven Kingdoms has the luxury of humoring the tales of old.

[ especially when the krakens have kept to their own for so long, missed by absolutely no one. ]

[openhands]

[Cassandra has a natural, internal reaction of ugh to any noble. But as always, she tamps down on that enough to be civil and marginally polite.]

Well met, my lady. I am Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast. I imagine you have questions about your current predicament that might take more precedence over hearing the stories of other passengers.

[partialities]

You are well-met, Lady Seeker. I admit, I learned quite a few details from the tales told to me.

[ especially those of the other westeroi in this realm but not only. ]

I admit, Lady Sekker, my realm is as foreign to this manner of travel as can be. I am not certain what to ask of aside of our evident circumstances.

[video]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[When she appears on screen Robb cannot help but notice that she is quite pretty. Of course nowhere as pretty as his own lady wife, but pretty enough to keep his attention.

It is when she introduces herself that he straightens his shoulders a little more, the look in his eyes changing into a more focused one. More and more people from Westeros found their way here. And even though he has never met the lady Margaery Tyrell, he definitely heard of her.

Former wife to lord Renly and now betrothed to Joffrey. Who apparently died.]

My lady. [The tone of his voice is warm but overly formal.] After all those stories about your beauty it is a pleasure to finally look upon you and have a conversation. [There were other stories as well, but then again, when fighting a war the virginity of a high born woman is not really his concern. And as far as he knows the Tyrells have allied with house Lannister.]

My name is Robb Stark of Winterfell. Well met.

[video]

[partialities]

[ adjusting is an art. those who never learn it may find themselves in one trouble or another but those who have mastered it may see its benefits sooner rather than later. margaery's steps, usually light, turn even more careful here.

she had met robb stark's lady mother once, had always thought renly would be wise to maintain the alliance of house baratheon with the wolves of the north when he is king. but renly is gone and joffrey is a whole other manner.

and now, robb stark seems to be very much alive as well.

there is a risk here, were her darling husband-to-be to appear, he might have her head but as it is just herself here, just margaery in the name of house tyrell, she dips her chin. ]

Your Grace.

[ he had not named himself King in the North to her but she will never deny him his title, not now. ]

It is my honor, certainly. Forgive me if I assume such tales were told to you by one we both cherish.

Video

[tallasaking]

[And now, he was going to enjoy the fact that someone else was going to be taking these particular introductions so seriously. And, with the last name as well as House?]

The Rose of House Tyrell ... I feel as if the sun has burst out finally from behind the clouds and offered us it's most beautiful blossom. Good afternoon, Lady Margaery.

Video

[partialities]

Lord Tyrion, how good it is to see you.

[ she bows her head, smile sitting prettily on her features. The only lion here, or so she has heard. and out of all of them, she prefers him the best. he always appeared to her as the more pragmatic out of his pride, less ruthless than lord tywin and less poisonous than his sister. ]

Were that I could bring the sun with me here, my Lord. I hope this finds you well?
