Who: Cersei Lannister
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Bishop
When: February [Glitches will pop up at SOME point I'm sure...If you don't want one, let me know]

A. A Shiny Promotion | Video
[She's in her cabin and, despite the small size of everything in here—truly, who could live like this—Cersei actually looks slightly pleased. For those who know her, a genuine smile is rare for her. Perhaps it's because of what's in her hand; perhaps it's because she doesn't quite know she's being video taped right now.

For all the knowledge she's been given to help her assimilate, she's still fumbling a bit with the technology itself. Besides, the girl who has never even heard of the electric light is now flying through space. Anyone would have a bit of a culture shock.]

Captain...

[The word is said like a whisper. There's nothing to be lost in translation here whatsoever. She knows it's a title and a position of power to be sure. But what's all the more amazing is that it was bestowed upon her. A woman.]

If only Father could see this.

[The smile that graces her face is not quite cruel but the genuine tinge has left it. It's not that she'll be going crazy (yet) or anything quite so sinister as that. But more the fact that she wishes he were still alive—if only so he could see her rise to such a position of prominence. Thirty years in Westeros and she couldn't accomplish such a feat under his thumb. Maybe the future isn't so bad after all.]

B. Moving Day! | Action on board
[She wasn't so vain as to hope that her recent promotion would come with better living arrangements... well, she's exactly that vain. She looked. And she found the door labeled 'Captain' and she is most certainly moving.

It isn't that she has gathered a lot of possessions here in her short time aboard, but there are still things to move and, well, who does that whole heavy lifting thing?

[ a new captain. unfortunately, he hadn't had the opportunity to meet the last one before he was gone. well more like he didn't take the opportunity to meet him. he hasn't exactly gone out of his way to meet any of the crew aboard the bishop, honestly.

so when he sees cersei's announcement of being captain, he figures now is as good a time as any to meet one of his shipmates. well, it seems like less of an announcement and more of a realization that, as it happens, everyone else can be a part of as well.

fitz shoves the communicator in his pocket after he sees her short broadcast and goes in search of her. which isn't exactly too difficult, considering the ship isn't some monstrous vessel or anything ]

Hello? Captain?

[She knows Cersei Lannister, having seen the woman before. Her beauty well known in Westeros. While she knew Jamie was here, she hadn't yet run across his sister.

Yet now...here she was, addressing the fleet. Worst still, she was given authority. What would that mean for all of them?]

Captain?

_{[ Well that is an unsettling look from someone in that position. Very unsettling. Not that it really means anything here, but still. ]}

Congratulations on joining us in the command ranks. We'll send you your jacket shortly.

Gods be good, the lords of Atroma must have really lost their minds.

[Putting a Lannister in a position of power. Here.]

[There's a small chuckle that comes through, though thankfully the eyeroll doesn't transmit with the voice alone. Honestly, he can probably hear it in her tone regardless.]

The gods were good, from where I am sitting.

[Give her the tiniest of breaks, perhaps? This whole 'a woman can be in power' is decidedly new to her. Never mind the lengths she'd gone to in her world to attempt to gain it. So... let's just move on, shall we?]

I thank you, Ser. I can truthfully say it is an honor. [There's a brief pause.] What is this jacket you speak of? [The joke is utterly lost on her. She thinks he's serious.]

[Well, well, isn't this an interesting turn of events? She smiles, that ghost of something that is hiding both steel and honey. Hard to say which one will come out. Furthermore, just how many of her compatriots from Westeros have made it to this place?]

Ah, child. It is good to see you again.

[For a ship this small, Cersei has really yet to venture out and meet anyone. Mostly, she was busy sulking over the state of her quarters. But all the same, now was as good a time as any to... not piss her other shipmates off. She had this new position of power and she wasn't going to squander it. She wasn't going to prove her father was, may the gods forbid, right.]

Hello, Ser. [She responds with a slight incline of her head.] Might I assist you with something? [Really, she's hoping he'll help her. Because, well. Heavy lifting and queens are not two things that are generally found in the same sentence.]

[She feels a jolt of fear race through her, trying desperately not to tremble or allow herself to be intimidated by the Lannister Queen.]

You know me?

_{[ He needs to work on his sarcasm game, clearly. ]}

Don't worry about it - it was a joke, a turn of phrase in my world.

But a jacket is a real thing - a piece of outer clothing used to keep you warm.

[ fitz raises his hand, giving her a quick wave. honestly, he's a little surprised he hasn't run into her even by chance yet. but no matter ] I was actually just coming to introduce myself. Figured it was about time. I'm Fitz. Ship's engineer.

[ he's not exactly built for heavy lifting, but he'd be happy to help with her move! ]

[The door hasn't been opened since Cersei last entered but Gemini's now inside regardless...and riffling over the few things that Cersei's already moved in. At least she has enough good grace to stop when the new Captain next comes in.]

You must be the new Captain. [It's obvious from the disdainful way she says it that she has little respect for the position. She could help with the whole heavy lifting thing, but then Gemini's not the helping kind.]

[ Cersei is unlikely to recognize Balon Greyjoy's son. There's little reason why she should, and his shock white hair and missing fingers only serve to make even more of a case for that.

But Theon recognizes her, and he smirks easily. ]

I expect mutiny any day now.

No, the gods were fools.

[It is still strange that this Lannister woman actually appeared here. Here. Where she could harm Sansa. After all, no mother would tolerate the way Joffrey treated Sansa.]

Stay away from my sister.

~~i know it's late but I missed this gdkf~~

[There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to this technology, but with the augment's help, Catelyn will face it head on. Her voice is steady and her tone is cold as ice. ]

The gods have quite the sense of humor, or perhaps I should thank this...Atroma. You are no queen here, and you would be wise to stay clear of my children, and any they have come to value here.

[ Give her a reason, Cersei. ]
