Who: Jon Snow & Open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A
When: 8/11

[The shouts of the Northern men was still ringing in his ears as he opened his eyes, the quiet of the ship piercing through him. The familiar stones of Wintefell were replaced by steel and machinery he didn't recognize but for some reason understood...at least in passing. Space, ships and other information he had never considered before were fresh in his mind. The darkness beyond the windows was not so mysterious or strange, though it still filled him with the same awe he felt when he stood atop the Wall for the first time.

It took time for his current imprisonment and state to at least hit him, the shock slowly wearing off the longer he sat in silence. After a few hours, he felt ready to turn to the network for the answers he wouldn't find on the Marsiva.]

My name is Jon Snow.

[There seemed little reason to ask about escape, as it seemed there were so many still here. If they could leave by their own will, they would have by now.]

Who are the men that have captured us? Are they taking us somewhere in particular or is this holding cell meant to travel without destination?

[The Jon Snow? Well this is interesting. Daenerys can empathize with his plight, at least, and that is a good beginning.]

You are now amongst the Fleet and we are meant to be...entertainment...for alien races. [Sound fun?] Are you ill? Injured?

[Video]

[song_of_ice]

[She's Targaryen by the looks of her...that was something he could conclude if he were in Westeros, but now? The only thing he could be certain of is she was beautiful and she seemed sympathetic.

Kindness was a better balm than anything else at the moment.]

"Entertainment?" What sort of entertainment?

[No. No, that's not fun.]

I am fine. [Save for curious at who he is speaking to.] You have the look of someone from my world.

[Is he really saying 'my world?' Are we at that point now?]

[Video]

[valyrianstorm]

[There really is no hiding those locks or her eyes, is there? Daenerys has no fear in being herself, but she is cautious around Starks and those who ally themselves with them. Actually cautious might be a kind word. She has anger for what befell her family even if Aerys was as mad as they say.]

Emotional. Physical. They will push us into situations to see our reactions. I am quite determined to be a bore.

[Which is why her words are mostly flat. She isn't an actor in some mummer's farce.]

I expect I do. I have yet to reach Westeros, but my ships sail for her shores; my Dragons fly overhead, ready to conquer the Iron Throne for me.

[Video]

[song_of_ice]

We're here. I don't think they find you much of a bore if they brought you here.

[It wouldn't stop them from finding ways to make them entertaining. He had never seen bear baiting, but it had to be like that. Introduce certain elements to make the bear act as you wanted.

So she was Targaryen. He doesn't know how to exactly respond, only that this was the woman Maester Aemon wondered about, the one who supposedly had three dragons.]

Does your armada sail without you now?

[Video]

[valyrianstorm]

I think they will find they were mistaken soon enough. [There will be an opening. She must wait for it and keep herself alert.

And, yes, comparing their situation to bear baiting is entirely correct. Except, with them, they are baiting a dragon and a wolf. Very stupid of them.]

I am told they will not know of my absence. Time does not pass in our wake. [An oddity she cannot quite wrap her mind around.] I pray that is so otherwise my Dragons will cease to follow the ships.

[tallasaking]

[He looks at the man before him for a long, hard moment. No ... this is an older Jon Snow, older than the one who had come before him.]

Well Jon Snow, I hate to tell you this but ... yes, we travel without real destination and, ah, you would not want to try going outside. There is no air.

[song_of_ice]

[Tyrion Lannister. They hadn't seen each other for years, but here he was...looking surprisingly well for a man accused of murder.]

I couldn't, even if I tried. Seems I'm a prisoner on this ship.

[tallasaking]

[Yes, he had his bad moments. Only outweighed by his sheer luck, honestly.]

We are all prisoners here, my friend.

[song_of_ice]

A strange prison.

[His eyes cast out over the expanse of space again, that awe ever present.]

How are we here?

[bryces_pup]

[Riona's heart breaks a little upon seeing Jon. She hadn't talked to him much the last time he was here, but back then, he had much of his family here as well. Now, he stands as the only person with Stark blood in the fleet. For the time being, she refrains from any mention of his family, recently departed. He's got enough to sift through.]

They are called Atroma. Or the Atroma. We are not sure if it's one person or many behind this. They're notoriously elusive. We don't seem to be going anywhere in particular, or if we are, we're taking a very long time to get there.

[song_of_ice]

[She has a gentleness in her eyes, which is enough to lower his guard. He has no means of protecting himself at present. All he can do is rely on the information and kindness of others, something that he is uncomfortable with, but forced to accept.]

That is all that is known about them? A name? [A sigh.] How long have these ships been traveling?

video

[bryces_pup]

Delightfully frustrating, isn't it? [Welcome to the fleet, Jon Snow.] Well, according to them, this "current" cycle has been going for about three years?

video

[song_of_ice]

[Three years of imprisonment. He couldn't imagine.]

Have you been here all of that time, my lady?

[brainiest]

[ Jon Snow. The name rings familiar because Robb had told her about him, once upon a time - not the Robb she had known here, not that one, but her Robb, the one she had known and gotten close to in the world before this one. That familiarity is what has her moving to respond. ]

It's nice to meet you, Jon.

[ But, ah, this is the difficult part, isn't it? ]

They're the Atroma. You might be on the Marsiva right now, but eventually you'll be put on another ship with a crew to help you.

[song_of_ice]

[The girl is young but has kind eyes. After being taken so suddenly from his world and being told that he is essentially a prisoner, seeing kindness is a relief.]

How long until I am moved?

[And more importantly.]

Do our jailers move me themselves?

[Could he overpower them?]

[brainiest]

It's usually at the end of the week, so I don't think it'll be very long.

[ But, oh, she shakes her head, looking a little sad. ]

Yes, but you won't realise until you wake up. There's no person that does it, it just happens.

[song_of_ice]

It happens? The same as when we were brought here?

[He didn't like shadows and deception.]

I was told this was some form of entertainment?

[sonof_mogh]

The men you seek are known as the Atroma. We do not know if they are men or cowards, since none have shown their face to us yet.

[He growled.]

I would face them in battle and smite them down with my blade if they crawled out of their hole. As for our destination, that is unknown.

[Did any of them know where they were going?]

video;

[song_of_ice]

The faceless are not always craven. They have power, they don't need to present themselves as a threat. They already are.

[It was a sentiment he understood.]

No one has ever seen them? In all the years prisoners have been held here?

[sonof_mogh]

Not that I have heard. They seem to enjoy humiliating us like animals in cages with their...games.

[Worf isn't pleased about the whole reality TV thing.]

They seek to find amusement from us by placing us within a show. We are like servants to perform as if in a circus. If I had my weapons I would cut their throats.

[If they had any?]

[song_of_ice]

Bear baiting.

[That's what it felt like.]

Within a show? [A mummer's farce?] They are holding us here for no other reason but their amusement? What sort of show is this? We have no lines or costumes.

[The whole thing makes him sick as a whole.]

How would you find them?

[He's not saying he wouldn't join.]

[alwayscomeback]

[Oh hey, Jon's back!!!]

Hi Jon. I'm Sokka, captain on the Blue Fish. Your sisters and brothers were with me a while ago. They're not here any more, sorry

The people who took us are called Atroma.

Video;

[song_of_ice]

[What?]

My brothers and sisters were here? When?

[How? He had only just seen Sansa in Winterfell.]

My brothers are dead.

Video;

[alwayscomeback]

Sansa left a few months ago- your brothers and sister were a little longer away. Jeyne, too.

[Also Cersei, but Jon does not need to know that. Hell no. She's gone, it's fine. So fine. His smile fades, a touch more sad. ]

I know, and trust me when I say I'm sorry about that. I liked them all a lot. Time works...weird here. People can be pulled in from earlier points in time. Before...anything like that happens to them.

Video;

[song_of_ice]

[It should sound like madness, but he is going to have to question what is exactly sane and what isn't now.]

Which of my brothers?

[All three were dead, as far as he knew. But if time was as Sokka said, then it could have been a second life for them. How was it he missed them? Why bring him here now?]

Were they well?
