Who: Sansa Stark, and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide; Anonymous
Action: Blue Fish, Iskaulit
When: Afternoon to late evening

( ANONYMOUS TEXT: )

What should you do if someone you have never met -- never in your life -- hates you? What should you do if they are rude and horrible and ill-mannered and they won't tell you why?

I have done bad things. I know I have. But nothing to deserve this.

( ACTION: )

[ when she isn't indulging in her very self-centered sort of misery, sansa is aboard the blue fish. she has finally decided to make a brave attempt to decorate the door to her room, and so far has only managed to paint the bone-white bark of what will eventually be a tree.

and then -- well after the hour when she ought to have been in bed -- sansa does something unanticipated. unexpected. she takes a shuttle all by herself! and she lets it pilot her back to the iskaulit, where she walks the halls with slow and careful purpose until she arrives at the garden. she makes a seat for herself far from the door, and she breathes in the smell of soil and plant-life. already, and despite its bewitching magicks, she misses the well-wooded planet so recently departed. ]

hold on I'm sending you proof.

[ attached is a selfie of a sort ]

see?

eyebrows.

[ WHAT IS THIS SORCERY? ]

You don't look burned at all. Are you certain you're telling the truth?

[ somehow, she doesn't quite comprehend how eyebrows can be burned off without greater damage. ]

of course I'm telling the truth

electrical shock is not like

open flame

it'll sizzle the eyebrows, maybe a few hairs. but it won't give him any burns.

nope. give it a few weeks and he'll be nearly as dashing as me.

[ :D ]

...Did it hurt?

eh

been through worse.

I mean, it's not fun but trust me, it's not major deal either.

[ ok he's bragging more than a bit because he has a sure feeling he's talking to a girl so the macho bit kicks in. ]

[ 'been through worse' -- but it still hurt. she can read between the lines.

simply: ] I don't want to hurt him.

alright lemme think

ok got it

a good practical scare.

I mean, we'll plant something in his closet, he'll open it, it'll jump out, he'll scream like a little girl and the whole thing will be forever on record.

no pain, mucho gain.

[ okay, she doesn't actually want to do anything horrible to gendry (and risk incurring any more of his dislike) but this cisco fellow is intriguing.

carefully: ] You would help me with this?

oh yeah.

you see the person who was rude and an ass to me isn't here

I feel like this is me making a stand on behalf of all of, decent people who are tired of people who's acting like jerks.

How noble of you. How brave. Administering such justice could be dangerous to you.

[ flattery is important. ]

That's me.

Taking a stand for what really matters.

in the name of decency and good-manners.

it's what makes me a bit of an important figure back home.

[ cisco...... ]

-- Are you a man of some renown, then, in your kingdom?

pretty much

by day I work with a bunch of people who dedicate their lives to stop people from hurting other people

and by night, I do the same! working with others to make sure our city is safe.

I even have a badge to prove it.

[ cisco, you've gotten it after Joe interfered on your behalf, god. ]

It sounds as if you are some manner of knight.

[ please say no. please don't be a knight. ]

eh no

we don't have knights.

we're just a team of simple people working to keep our city safe from other people who try to ruin in.

on a daily basis.

Then, mayhaps you could help me.

If I needed it.

[ you know. eventually. ]

whenever you need me!

Cisco Ramon

engineer, justice keeper.

available at all times at the blameless.

[ the blameless, hm? ]

I trust you will not blame me for withholding my name and location. For the time being, at least.

We're gonna have to find you a nickname then

ohh, ok so in James Bond they used letter for their secret agents we can try greek letters

how about theta?

[ no this is more important: ]

Who is James Bond?

it's a movie

about this really cool secret agent

so they don't use their real names, obviously. they have letters since they're all about keeping their identity a secret

like superheroes.

...Does 'theta' mean anything? What sort of letter is it?

[ WHAT'S A GREEK?

cisco, you're teaching her so much today. ]

very old important language in my world

and the letters sound pretty.

theta's my personal favorite but

delta is nice too

a bit overused.

Theta, then. I'll keep it.

[ -- she like's being someone's favourite something. ]
