Who: Theon Greyjoy
Broadcast: Fleetwide, second part only
Action: Paisley, first part
When: 8/1
[ Perhaps the crew has taken note of Theon's uncharacteristic silence. His presence has been somewhat less abrasive over the past few days, and it isn't because he's been out and exploring the planet. He's actually holed himself up in his cabin, leaving only to make a handful of attempts to focus on work in the armory--all of which lasted no longer than ten minutes. His thoughts have been elsewhere, somewhere where they can work his stomach into impossible knots and make his eyes see things that aren't actually there.
Broken, beaten, and flayed. Ever since his sister revealed the state in which she found him, Theon's mind just won't settle. The strange Reed boy only confirmed, in more horrific detail. Plenty. Your fingers, your toes, your teeth, your skin...You can't change it.
How is someone supposed to sit and wait passively for such a horrific fate? The anticipation alone is such a heavy burden. All of Theon's worries have whipped themselves up into an endless frenzy. Every corner her turns fills him with dread, and one too many times he thinks he sees Ramsay Snow out of the corner of his eye. Even when that proves to be his eyes playing tricks on him, there's that horrible voice ringing in his ears: burn it, burn it all.
When he finally exits his cabin to pay a trip to the kitchen, he doesn't look well. He's pale and disheveled and the shadows beneath his eyes are a telltale sign that he hasn't been sleeping. Upon reaching the kitchen, he doesn't actually open any of the cupboards or look for food. Instead, he paces the floor, hands curled into tight fists. His breathing goes ragged and he clenches his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut as tears sting at the corners of them. Suddenly, without a word or a shout, he stops, whips around, and begins to wreak havoc on the poor kitchen.
Eventually, if the noise or curiosity draws you in, you'll find him shaking with laughter, tears streaming down his face, and surrounded by the broken bits and pieces of the kettle, the microwave, the coffee maker, and a few plates--and a toaster that, while whole and working, carries an imprint of young Mr. Greyjoy's fist. ]
{OOC| Quick rundown for anyone who may not be on my plurk and whose character may be visiting the Paisley: Theon's had a pretty big chunk of his super unfortunate future revealed to him by castmates, which has sent him into an emotional spiral because he doesn't know how to handle his feelings. This is not a regular thing, I promise. }
Video
[ For those of you who missed Theon's meltdown on the Paisley, it's probably for the best. It wasn't a pretty sight, but later in the evening when the feed flickers to life and Theon greets the network, he clearly isn't himself.
He's disheveled, exhausted, and he actually doesn't spend time boasting about himself or his family. His message is short, to the point, and spoken in a hoarse voice. ]
Half of Westeros is already here. [ His eyebrows knit together. He's clearly been worrying about something. ] Can someone be prevented from coming here as well?

Video
All of them? What about your sister?
Video
[ He wishes he could say that he doesn't feel abandoned. He survived without Asha or any other member of his family for many years, but it's hard not to feel the same way he felt as a child. ]
And no, I did not have anything to do with it.
Video
The loss of Katara is still pretty raw, so Sokka is silent for a moment, before exhaling softly. ]
I wasn't going to say you had.
I'm sorry. It's hard, losing family here.
Video
I didn't grow up with my sister. This won't be the first time I've been without my family.
Video
Robb still cares about you, you know.
Video
Am I meant to believe that? When was the last time you spoke to Robb?
Video
Video
Does he swear to take my head every day? He has that right.
Video
But only the one time. So.
[Progress????]
Video
Give him time. You'll hear it again.
[ That's Robb for you. ]
Video
[Look at that, Theon, Sokka actually spoke against killing you horribly. ]
Video
Why did you try to convince him of that?
Video
A life for a life just doesn't work.
[It's a lesson he's had to learn from Aang, but it's a good lesson. ]
Video
[ He shrugs. Obviously, it isn't what he wants, but he knows it's what's right. It's what Robb's father would expect from his son. ]
I'm surprised you could convince him of anything else.
Video
I doubt I have yet, but I'm not about to give up on it.
Video
[ Asha might--somewhere in her heart, she surely does care for him, but Asha is only one person. His mother is too sickly, his father is dead, and his uncles never thought much of him to begin with. Asha is essentially the only person he has to go home to. ]
The Starks were my family as well. Not my true family, but I knew them as well as siblings. I would not wish to see their blood spilled when it was I who betrayed them.
Video
Video
Instead, he only shrugs, feeling exhausted. ]
Thank you. For speaking to Robb.
[ He also isn't entirely sure he's grateful--but he doesn't want to die, so why not at least make an attempt at gratefulness? ]
But he has a thick skull. You'll be bashing this into his head for months.
Video
[Theon might not be his favourite person, but he'll stand by that forever. He makes a soft, amused sound at that, a small smile pulling at his lips.]
At least. It might even take a full year. I've convinced rocks quicker.
