The North Remembers.

[ the message is short but that's for a reason. she doesn't know if this place is safe and after exploring it, she wants to know if there's anyone out there.]

If this is a haiku you're missing some lines.

[aliased]

what's that

[reek]

[ Another day, another Stark. Better be a lil shit to forget about his own pain. ]

And yet forgets a great many things all the same.

[aliased]

like what? who is this?

[passingthrough]

It's a form of Japanese poetry. In this case it was something between a joke and an inquiry for more information. What does the north remember?

[Kitty does not love the texting.]

[aliased]

what's japanese

[bryces_pup]

[Well this is several kinds of odd... until she thinks on it. 'The North'. She wonders...]

are you by chance from Westeros?

[passingthrough]

[Ring, ring, banana phone. Or just, switching to video at least on her end.]

I'm not defining everything for you through text. Where I'm from there is, or technically was, [because everything is the worst] a country called Japan. Anything from Japan was Japanese.

[aliased]

[ no video, no way.]

i've never heard of it. it sounds made up.

[passingthrough]

[Suiiiiit yourself.]

I absolutely do not care if you believe in Japan, oh ye of vague fleet-wide messages.

The North remembers... what?

[reek]

A great many things.

[ Who needs specifics. ]

Which Stark is this?

And the North is remembered in turn.

[ this response has more style than substance. more flare, it would seem, than deeper meaning. whoever wrote the initial three words has piqued her interest; she wants to draw out some further piece of information. ]

[aliased]

how do you remember it?

[ finally a good answer.]

[aliased]

everything.

[aliased]

[ !!! ]

what do you know of westeros?

[aliased]

how do you know if i'm a stark

[aliased]

i don't care if you care.

[reek]

I lived with you for long enough to know a Stark when I see one.

[ He still wants to be one of you tho. ]

[aliased]

[ ... who would speak to a stark, about the North, that way other than...]

theon?

[ like a dream. like frost in the morning. like snow melting in her brother's hair. sansa remembers the north at a distance -- like an outsider, looking in. ]

Wild. And cold.

[ but better. she knows that now. ]

[passingthrough]

Then we're agreed. So, was North a person or a direction?

[aliased]

[ that sounds like a southerner's words and yet...]

did you visit it often?

[aliased]

it's a place.

[passingthrough]

The place like the one Robb is king of?
