001 ✥ And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones

Who: Meera Reed and anyone who wants to welcome her!
Broadcast: video: post Shuffle
Action: SS Marsiva; SS Paisley
When: When she arrives and post Shuffle


( ss marsiva )

[Her arrival isn't any sort of loud, abrasive entrance. It takes a moment for her eyes to simply open, the glaring artificial light not something she is used to. The whole ordeal is utterly foreign. From the time she wakes, the rest of her experience is just as jarring. There's a slight nervousness to her. Her questions go unanswered as she tries to ask what became of her brother and Bran. They clearly aren't on this-- ship, something she discovered rather quickly.

The days she's aboard, she paces most of the time. The pictures on the wall, she watches the whole loop. Meera is looking for something, anything. Though despite the anxiousness, there is an easiness to her. She paces, but she is calm enough as she does it. There's little she can do. Especially without her spear. Not that she couldn't try to rig something up-- there's enough in the Hospitality Deck, she assesses her first day.

But there seems to be no threat. There seems to be nothing. Nothing but the vast windows that look out to even more nothing. She stands quietly at it, thinking of home, her brother, and her life back in Westeros. It feels strange to simply be here. There should be more, something. But all she has for the time being is her thoughts and this space.]

[The fanfare is unexpected, small bits of confetti still in her hair after she's beamed aboard her new home. Engineering, they said. A word far removed from her old world. But then none of this is even remotely close to the medieval, fantasy world that was Westeros. In truth she already missed the feel of the earth beneath her feet, the fresh air-- though even that has been an experience she has not had in some time.

She isn't sure who she would come across on the new ship, but one thing is sure-- she needs to see if there is a possibility that there is anyone here she may know. It seems anything could be possible here, but if Bran and Jojen were safe, it would relieve some of the apparent tension in her neck, the tightness she holds.]


Hello? [The brunette calls onto the deck, leaning in to look around.]

( video )

[This is still an adjustment. The very existence of this place odd. Meera is not one to judge the unlikelihood of something. There is no arguing against the existence of something glaring her in the face. Meera is all too accustomed to that.

And because of this, she sits poised in front of the device-- it's playing a video, something she is only aware of because of the knowledge given to her. None of this makes sense, but there's parts of it she can identify. Her faith in that keeps her unnerved.]


My name is Meera, and I am in search of three boys. They were traveling companions of mine. I do not know the likelihood of them being here, but I need to know if they are here. [It's not only family, but duty. Her tone is level, a corner of her lip tilted into a half smile.]

Two are younger than I. One, thin and blond. He is not always well. [To put it lightly.] Another is young boy, dark hair. He may be accompanied by a third, older though. He says little save his own name.

[It is not much to go on, but she daren't put them in harm's way. Meera doesn't know what the name 'Stark' may mean. It is vague at best, but she remains hopeful, unsure what they would do without her.]

[Thin, blond, not always well. Furiosa listens to the whole post with those few words sticking in her head. She's not sure if it's who she's thinking of or not, since there were a whole host of universes he could be from, but it's at least worth asking.]

I might know someone who matches that description. The first one. What's his name?

[The video feed shows a woman who had known harsh environs, but was starting to ease into an easier life. She no longer wears the grease on her forehead, and her hair has started to grow back without her taking a razor to it.]

[Furiosa smiles, slow, small, but it's a genuine pull on her features.]

He's on my ship, the First Breath. I'm his Captain, Furiosa. Welcome to the Fleet, Meera.

[There's a slight hitch to her smile, then. She hadn't known Jojen very long and he had seemed unwell that entire time, so she realizes there's not real comparison she can make.]

He seems to be hanging on alright. There is the matter of his tea, though. I gave him what I had but it's not the same.

Meera!

[Bran's face is too close to the lens, and he looks so happy that he could burst.]

We're here, Jojen and I.

[And Sansa, and Robb, and Jon, and a few others - but that's not on his mind right now. Meera is here, and he couldn't be more pleased.]

[ Theon is on his way to the armory when he hears her call out, and if not for Jojen, he wouldn't recognize Meera as quite as quickly as he does. The mudmen had been nothing more than a whisp of a thought in the back of his head in Winterfell, but Jojen and his strange precognitions have made certain that that won't happen here.

So he recognizes Meera as one of his hostages, and even recalls thinking that she'd be pretty if she'd only dress as a lady. Still, he has no name to pair with her face. The Reed girl, he thinks, and that's all he knows.
]

It's you now, is it? Atroma really is keen on bringing the whole of Westeros here.

[ He sounds bitter, as if he believes Atroma is focusing on ruining his life and no one else's.

That's definitely how it feels.

[ -- aha, here is an easy assumption to make. not least of all because of the companions she describes, but because of the northern look about her. because of her name. because of the patois with which she speaks.

stiffly: ]
Lady Meera. Of Greywater Watch, I gather?

[ Jojen doesn't look like he's in the best shape, but it's certainly not the worst shape he's been in. The doom and gloom shifts just slightly for him to smile. He's missed her. ]

Meera.

[ He may still be tucked away in bed, trying whatever one of the kind doctors have offered him. It's dimmed down his fever but he still looks far too pale and tired. ]

What do you remember last?

The pleasure is mutual. [ she watches with care. perhaps there's a minor sniff when her name is revealed -- an outdated instinctual reaction to being found out, even as she lives openly as sansa stark within the fleet. ] Your brother, Lord Jojen, has spoken so kindly of you.

Yeah, just take a shuttle over.I don't really police who comes and goes. I have seen him another boy. Is that one of your other brothers?

[ it is, of course, the question she dreads. it is no more difficult to lie to a bannerman than it is to anyone else, but she does feel especially guilty for considering it. all in all, she hasn't revealed too much to jojen -- nor, really, to bran himself.

with utter caution: ]
As well as can be expected, Lady Meera. My brothers are here and there is now yet another bannerman in our Fleet's numbers. I consider myself fortunate. [ ... ] May I ask...upon which vessel have they placed you?

I am aboard the Blue Fish, with Bran. And with Robb, as well, yes. [ ... ] Jon is elsewhere, and Rickon has never arrived. [ her voice is even as she tries not to allow any emotion to seep into it: ] Arya was here.

[ there are others, too, but she doesn't care to reveal her allies now. nor her enemies. even theon is a subject she tries to avoid. ]

One presumes, although we cannot be certain. [ ... ] There is little certain about the Fleet, my lady. And so it comes as some relief to see those fond of my family arrive. The Reeds, at least, can be depended upon.

He has, my lady. As I said -- the presence of even one Reed has been a source of comfort. He has been most courteous. Bran must have been lucky indeed to travel with him. [ oh wait, time to be nice: ] With you, too, doubtless.
