Who: Jeyne
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: 20th

[She should feel used to being told nothing. Her mother had prepared her for a life without answers and a lack of control in her future. It shouldn't surprise her to be taken away from her entourage and brought to a world not of her choosing, but there is nothing that could prepare her for this place. How did any of this happen? How did she go from being surrounded by an armed escort to being utterly alone in a foreign environment.

Stranger still, there was sense of understanding about where she found herself. This was space and she was on a ship among the stars. It would be simpler if this was a kidnapping, but it was something more than that, she knew that deep in her gut.

Disconcertingly, there was no one about, no one that she could question. Why would anyone want to watch her and what exactly were ratings? Why did she need to participate in whatever entertainment they had planned? More importantly, how did she know things that she never knew before?

Searching did little good. There was no one in authority and the place seemed to be silent, save for the music and screens playing in the background. There was at least one other option, if it could manage to bear fruit.

Fumbling with the device, Jeyne managed to turn it on, twisting it around until she was certain that she appeared front and center, clear for everyone to see.]

I can't seem to find anyone to tell me why I'm here. I keep hearing from the strange screens that I'm in some sort of game or performance, but that doesn't make sense. Why were we chosen and how did they bring us here?

My name is Jeyne. Can someone please help me?

I suppose that makes matters easier. I don't need to rely on an escort for travel.

[Even if it made matters a bit more disconcerting. This place could be dangerous and she would have to look after herself for the first time in her life.

She touches her head, curious about how exactly this information came in her head.]

They have been rooting around in our minds?

You'll be fine. Uh...unless you want one. I mean, to get used to it. I know it's different, in Westeros.

[At least he's spent enough time with Sansa to understand THAT much. ]

Pretty much, yeah. Not the happiest of thoughts, is it?

I...would like that, but I don't know if I have that luxury any longer. I don't wish to be a bother.

[There was also a part of her that was uneasy with the idea of being surrounded by unfamiliar men.]

No, far from it.

How long have you been here?

No bother. I know i can be hard to adjust. You can use my time as long as you need.

[She's Robb's wife and as thus part of the family. ]

Nearly two years, now.

Gods. I can hardly imagine being here for so long. Do you have family here?

[It seemed an awfully long time to be away from home and his loved ones.]

You're very kind to me, Sokka. I'm grateful. Robb is fortunate to be on your ship.

I did, for a while. My sister and my really close friends were here, but they've gone home now. I've got one friend left but it's...complicated.

[Like one of them being about five decades in the future of the other one awkward. ]

Don't mention it. We look out for each other here.

I'm sorry. I know it must be hard to be away from them. I hope that they return someday.

[She can understand that awkwardness, what with the dead apparently coming back to life. Not that she'd complain.]

I look forward to when we can meet in person.

It's okay. They're better off, back home.

[He believes that, even if he's not sure if that's where they actually are. ]

Me too. If you need anything, don't be afraid to send me a message. I'll help however I can.

I will, as I hope I may do the same for you.
