Who: the little queen margaery tyrell + you
Broadcast: yes, unless your name is sansa stark
Action: upon the tourist, if you are so inclined
When: current.
[ those who frequently visit the star system may have seen margaery here and there. running around the moxie part of the planet under the name alerie, sitting in the spirit libraries and presenting herself as olenna tyrell or, quite like today, visiting the savvy part of the planet in the colors of her house, using her true name for a change.
it has been a sweet game of a sort but today she seems to be all business ]
Well, it is an interesting little place we are visiting, is it not? I do hope everyone is keeping well.
I arrived here six moon cycles ago and when I did, a friend of mine and I discussed our name days. It is very difficult for us to know when they would be, here. This realm seems to measure time quite differently than our own. It was my suggestion that we would do well to simply decide on the matter of our name days. My friend, I fear, is very humble and so it was decided -
[ mostly by herself ]
that we shall celebrate our name days on the very same day and I do think the time has come. Those of you who are truly fortunate have already met Lady Sansa Stark, she resides upon the Blue Fish and I do dearly wish to plan this little gathering for her and for myself.
[ she sits up, tucks one curl behind an ear and smiles ]
This entire matter should be kept a secret from Lady Stark. I wish it to be a surprise. I should think two weeks is a proper enough notice, there is more than enough time to purchase presents for her on this little planet.
[ and for margaery, but that's a whole other issue ]
She is very fond of gowns, embroidery, music and lemon cakes. Try and bring her a boon of friendship and affection, if you can find it in you. We shall meet at one of the halls upon the Iskaulit that shall be decorated accordingly to celebrate her and mine name day. As for my own preferences for gifts -
[ a tiny little grin ]
I trust you all to know your way to a lady's heart.

but she puts on one of her braver faces for margaery. ] Robb's more like a kitten than a wolf, [ she gossips because gossiping is easy with margaery. ] He's fallen sick! Doctor Beverly says he'll be fine, and I know he will, so it's a bit easier to tease him about it.
[ -- she's been here for maybe about ten minutes already, enjoying the company. ]
action »
The fleet has given many gifts to Sansa but it hasn't escaped Margaery that it has taken one from her, as well. The timing for the name day celebration was not accidental, few things with the Tyrellg girl ever are. Quite like in King's Landing, she finds herself determined to make her happy. It helps to be away from Joffrey's presence. Odd as the fleet may be, it is more merciful than Westeros ever was.
And so Margaery goes to the kitchens, takes out the array of gourmet cakes she bought on the Moxie side of the planet and listens to the tale of King Robb's illness ]
Poor man! do you spoil him terribly? My brothers always spoiled me terribly when I was ill. One year, I had a cough for an entire moon cycle. Loras would bring me sweets at night, my mother was half mad when the maids found the crumbs in the morning.

sansa gathers a thick section of margaery's hair between her fingers -- combing through it in preparation for a plait. ]
The whole ship spoils him! He hardly needs me to do so.
action »
[ said primly and not without the usual indulgent edge to it. ]
I trust his Grace must feel the same. Who is sweeter than his beloved sister? Mayhaps we can find him something nice for his supper on the planet.
[ she turns for a moment ]
You shall not believe it. I have fooled them. I spend my mornings as a Moxie, my afternoons as a Spirit and my evening as a Savvy. They all know me under a different name - they cannot tell the three ladies apart.

but what terrifies her as sansa stark sounds thrilling when projected through the dazzling words of margaery tyrell. ]
No? [ a bit of scandal edges her voice. ] How bold of you. Are you certain none have sniffed you out? What would they do to you if they caught you?
action »
[ it's mostly a jest, made to make her smile ]
They say they shall name one a turncloak and lock them in their cells but I trust they are so preoccupied trying to win my favor to truly suspect much else.

[ ... ]
and mayhaps understand they are all singing of the same lady who wore three different names.
[ she has to giggle, at that. ]
They shall have to argue what my true name was. I gave my mother's name as well as my grandmother's - can you imagine her face if she knew these odd man were half in love with an Olenna Tyrell?
action »
Or mayhaps she's scold you for risking their dungeons. [ it's about as close as sansa herself comes to expressing a deep-seated concern for margaery's well-being. ]
action »
[ it was a fun little adventure, if nothing else ]
I shall return to simply be Margaery if it'll please you.

[ and then, with a sharper grin ]
Did you know men feed women when they wish to court them, here? They take them to eat. I find it most odd. Eating alone faced with a suitor.

[ -- no, margaery said alone. her nose wrinkles. ] How dull.
[ but the tremor in her voice suggests she might have meant how scandalous. ]
