[ Daenerys has kept quiet minus speaking with a few others. She's been gathering her bearings, trying to learn what she can but it hasn't been much - not when things are so different.

Which is partially why she's posting now. There haven't been many that have found this all too strange (minus the confusion that she's heard) ]


I am awed [ worried. curious. confused ] by our presence here.

[ Daenerys's words are soft, and calm. She's looking to the communicator, having been taught its uses, her long white hair let loose about her ]

The magic that brought us here is great, and to be feared.

[ She also fears that the Usurper may be here and hiding, that she has had that kept from her. There is much that Daenerys does not know or understand of this place and the people in it, familiarities with the 'ship' for one, and the mentioned secrets ]

I have travelled by ship before, my brother told, and also by horse. I find it strange to travel but it be without my silver, and with no water to be had. This ship- it is grand. I- [ Fear. No. She may fear such things, past experience giving her cause to but she cannot admit to it ] I give caution to believing the magic - it is more deceptive than you see.

[ Daenerys gives a small nod before waiting, moments later remembering to (and how to) turn the video off ]

Magic's all mysterious, right, but science has a bunch of rules and - like if you're smart enough to get it - it all makes sense. And like the rules of science stay the same. Magic's all different from person to person.

[Jesse furrows his eyebrows and examines his right hand for some reason while he ponders that. Then:]



Yeah, you know what, maybe it ain't even different.

[personal profile] hostage 2012-08-06 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, lots of it. A whole city full of magic.

Nothing really happened, it was just like, um...

[How to explain superpowers to a medieval chick?]

It was like everybody just had their own piece of magic. Unique, like... a special magic only they could use. All kinds of stuff.

Nah, um... I wasn't there long enough to get any.

[It's a lie.]

[personal profile] hostage 2012-08-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
'cause they got magic and I didn't? Yeah, a little.

[Which is half-truth, at least. He's not happy about being saddled with a power that relegates him to supervillain-for-life.]

You grow up hearing stories about magic powers, right, and you hear about all this amazing stuff and find out it's all true and then you're stuck on the outside of all that? Yeah, it's a little sad. I woulda liked to be a hero.

Yeah, mostly. You don't?

What happened?
hostage: (surprised ☣)

[personal profile] hostage 2012-09-07 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god.

[Wow, he feels terrible for talking about it all so casually, now.]

I'm so sorry.
hostage: (arguing ☣)

[personal profile] hostage 2012-09-12 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[He doesn't even know what happened, but he feels strongly about this:]

Don't talk like that. You can't blame yourself.

That still don't make it your fault.
