Who: Arya Stark
Broadcast: Shipwide
Action: Planetside, outside the inn she's staying in.


[ the camera comes on and for a moment it's on arya's face before it turns to show the sky, filled with stars. ]

Did you know that stars are made of very hot gas? [ because she didn't. not until the moment she woke up on the ship. arya isn't a little girl anymore, life has changed her, morphed her into something she never was. yet she's not as bitter or jaded, she hasn't had a chance to change that much. but still, the world is a darker place to arya stark. she'd been angry when she first got here, she's still angry but she's done her exploring.

the little girl in her shines through as she turns the camera back to her face and she grins-- ]

Like farts.

Yep!

Well, most of them, anyway. But some of the stars out there actually aren't stars at all! Some of them are other planets! Like this one.

[aliased]

[ OH. IT'S HER.] The stars? Are planets?

[resnipstance]

Some of them. Sure.

[aliased]

How? [ she thought you couldn't live on stars!]

[resnipstance]

Hmmm. [She thinks for a moment about how to explain.] When the sun shines on water, or metal, it reflects, right?

Planets are like that. They're not actually light themselves, like stars are. But if they're close enough to a star, and close enough to where you are, you see the light they reflect from that star. So they look like stars, even though they're not.

[aliased]

So planets are not stars but suns are stars.

[resnipstance]

Right! [Getting a little excited now.] Suns are just stars that have one or more planets orbiting around them!

[aliased]

Orbit? [ SCIENCE TERMS DON'T EXIST IN WESTEROS.]

[resnipstance]

Oh, right. Orbit is when something-- usually a planet-- revolves around another something-- usually a star, or another planet. So, planets orbit their sun, and moons orbit their planet.

[aliased]

And we live on planets.

[resnipstance]

That's right.
