I've heard - and seen, my apologies to those who have dealt with me learning this device in the past few days - that I can speak to others without being in the same room as they.

[Excuse me, intruder alert. A raven lands beside Jon and starts screaming:

SNOW, SNOW]

I don't have any corn for you, go away.

[This is apparently not good enough.

CORN, CORN]

Go away.

[There's a flutter and Jon goes back to what he was saying.]

As I began: I'm Jon Snow, and I'm seeking any members of the Night's Watch. I'm not sure if any of them have come, but if you're here, we should meet at once.

[Okay you had your moment, the raven is back. SNOW, SNOW.]

....also if anyone has any corn, I would be in your debt.

Cute bird. [ faith. ] It do anything but yell at you?

voice

[wolfinthesnow]

Not yet. Although it should be trained to carry messages.

voice

[stacked]

Yeah, because who needs a cell when you got a bird, right?

[wont]

[ SHE IS VERY SORRY ABOUT THE BIRD, JON SNOW. ]

—apologies, Jon. It has taken to you, I see.

[northerner]

[ sansa and her birds. robb doesn't like it, but he doesn't say. the ravens seemed to get on better with jon, in any event. ]

Perhaps try the kitchens, Jon. They might have something to suit your friend.

voice

[wolfinthesnow]

I suppose it would make being jailed endurable.

[CORN, CORN]

Actually, perhaps not.

[ponderously]

[ is that a raven? ]

What's the Night's Watch? Are you in some sort of retro band?

( video )

[wolfinthesnow]

[It's not your fault, really.]

Lord Mormont had a very similar bird. I suspect it is more me than them.

voice

[stacked]

Yeah, I'm thinking that's when belts start to look nice-- no offense, or anything.

And I meant phones, you know? Like the thing you're talking on. [ oh god no, no one take language lessons from faith. NO ONE EVER. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

Would the King in the North accompany me there?

[HE IS DOING THIS BECAUSE HE CAN]

[wolfinthesnow]

Retro?

[Pause]

The Night's Watch is an order of men sworn to guard the Wall.

voice

[wolfinthesnow]

This is called a cell?

I had not been told the name.

Looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Might wanna stick with 'phone', though, if you're new.

[ new to phones look, faith's used to really freaking old things but this is still just weird. ]

[audio]

[yardbird]

[Birds! Seems like this ship is starting to get full of them. Even when Murphy here is speaking, Jon may or may not be able to hear the sounds of four more little chirps in the background.]

Uh, you should be able to find somethin' to feed your bird with in the kitchens.

( video )

[wont]

[ Still. She feels bad, halfbro. ]

Better that it takes to you than not. [ A beat. ] Did you teach it so? Or did it learn on its own?

voice

[wolfinthesnow]

Phone.

[The word is new.

PHONE PHONE.

Oh gods damn it.]

[audio]

[wolfinthesnow]

I had been told I might find something there.

And it isn't really mine.

( video )

[wolfinthesnow]

I spoke the word and it learned. They're smart when they're hungry.

voice

[stacked]

Phone.

[ if faith were a cheek squishing kind of woman, jon would not be safe. as it is, there's a 'whump' sound as she tosses herself onto her bed, getting comfortable because hey: maybe this isn't intel gathering, but it's kind of fun. ]

You're really new to this kinda stuff, huh?

video;

[ponderously]

You know, something old people are trying to make cool again.

What sort of wall?

( video )

[wont]

I suppose I should be grateful that Alayne seems too complicated for a bird to speak.

[northerner]

If the Lord Commander asks, then surely he would find his request granted.

( video )

[wolfinthesnow]

Alayne.

[CORN.]

Alayne.

[There is a pause. It comes a little garbled, but finally. ALAYNE, ALAYNE.]

[wont]

Would Your Grace care for his own?

[ Take them, take them. ]

voice

[wolfinthesnow]

[Jon wouldn't know what to do with that.]

Where I am from, we have none of these devices. They seem magic to me.
