Who: Winn Schott and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: Tourist
When: Friday
[ there's something off about winn when the feed turns on. something different from all his other broadcasts. it may take a second to spot it but once you realize what it is it becomes glaringly obvious: there's not a hint of happiness anywhere on his face. his eyes, his lips, his nose, it looks like every last bit of joy has been drained from his features, so even when his lips do stretch lightly upwards, despite his dry eyes it feels more like watching him sob than seeing him smile. ]
Margaery's gone home. [ he has no way of knowing that. she could have been kidnapped to another world, one where she would have no protective big brother to introduce her to superheroes and feminism, to embroider with her and teach her science. but he chooses to hang onto that thought, to believe that she's gone back to the family he knows she so desperately missed despite never letting her pain show. he clears his throat. ] If any of her friends wanna come by for a toast and some stories, I'll be on the Tourist all day.
[ he has been on the tourist since he realized she disappeared, curled up in his bed, shut down. this is the most he's said since, and it feels almost like an outer body experience. he clears his throat again, and nods at the camera before killing the feed. ]

it was never like that with margaery. he felt protective of her from day one. she was building him up, and he...he didn't do enough for her. he's not ready for her to be gone, ripped out of his life like that, never to be seen again. he's crushed.
he gives kara an almost unnoticeable nod as his only acknowledgment of her presence. ]

Yeah, he's pretty maker-damned awful at comfort, but for those who matter to him, he will try.He shifts a little closer, before crouching by the bed to peer at Winn.]
I- cannot say anything to make you feel better for your friend- but if you have need of me, I am here.

Thank you.

Are you certain? She can't be...

[ they can be playing a sick new game of hide and seek. but his heart tells him otherwise. probably because it can't handle the crash if he gives into hope now. ]
I'm sorry. [ his sincerity is obvious, he's heartbroken about this. ]

he'll still find winn lying in bed, where he ends up whenever anyone leaves him (and most of the time, while people are there, too), his fingers playing with the ends of the green scarf margaery had made for him. ]

He went to a shop before coming back up to the Tourist, going to Winn's room and knocking before quietly letting himself in. He set his burden down on the nearest flat surface before moving to the bed, sitting down on the edge and reaching out, gently patting Winn's shoulder.
There weren't words, because what could be said? They both knew this loss, this pain, so there was just the pat and the silent offer of more should he need it. ]
action;
but for the most part, he's just kept lying there in bed, letting them do most of the talking, sometimes not even bothering to sit up.
when jim touches his shoulder, however, it's like a part of him that has been turned off comes back to life, and he sits up and throws himself into jim's arms. he's not crying, not yet anyway, or not anymore, whichever way you want to look at it, but he clings. ]

Action.
The ship is not a happy one; Miss Margaery's disappearance has left it's depressive mark. Jarvis thought her a wonderful young lady — but this is so much more terrible for the friends she's grown attached to, and them to her. She's missed immediately, tremendously.
He doesn't enter, but he does speak up.]
Mr. Schott, I don't imagine you've eaten yet.
Please, come at least have something small from the kitchen. It isn't good to lock yourself up for so long of periods.
Action.
eventually, he decides to get up. he's still wearing his best button down he threw on to see sansa with but it has long since been pulled out of his pants, and there's one button too many undone - misery requires air. he's got a mild case of bed head, and despite the extraordinary amount of sleep he's been getting these past couple days - he just looks exhausted.
he's sure whatever jarvis has planned for him will be delicious, maybe it'll even make him feel better, but still he resists. ]
Jim and Kitty brought me some, I'm good. [ his voice is quiet, lacking its signature energy. ] Thanks.

She was a good friend of yours, too?
[As much as she hates it, a few tears slip out. She doesn't want to not mourn Margaery, and this is a grief they both clearly share.]
video
She's my sister.
[ he will always insist on present tense. she may be gone but his feelings haven't gone anywhere. especially now, when the nerves are so raw, he can feel them clearer than ever. ]

This is Robb Stark, I forgot to mention that.

[Her glitching had mostly subsided for the time being
so she thinks, so, "small bundle of energy and high voltage" is back to the standard way of descrbing her. Her response will switch over from simply audio to a video feed of an empty chair at her comm station on the bridge, which is soon struck by a flurry of electrical blasts from console itself. This was the sort of topic that merited an in-person sort of conversation, and she can't really do that from inside the Heron's circuitry.]Any idea how she pulled it off? It's not like anybody can keep secrets around here- not for long, anyway.
[...yes, she is also seriously missing the point of Winn's broadcast. By choice, really. He's a stranger, she's never met this Margaery person, and chances are good she wouldn't care too much about either of them if she did know them.
Although Margaery does get some brownie points in her book for successfully escaping]Audio
My best guess? She didn't engage in the Atroma's games no matter what they pulled - she didn't cause a fuss, and ultimately that's boring to watch.
