A girl wandered the ship, and not the outpost. She knows there were cruel things there. Evil things. [Because more than anything else, a girl listens and watches.]

A girl would ask a question of everyone, to distract from those things. She hopes all may answer, for there are a great many foreign things to her here.

What city, country, planet [yes, she remembers these strange but important words] do the people of Tranquility call home? Where do they come from, if they have no home? What are their names?

A girl regrets that she cannot answer well. A girl is of the Faceless Men, and so she has no name, no face. Her only home is in Braavos, Essos, on a planet that has no name, like the girl.

[Maybe it's a warning, in the end, now that she knows the kingslayer is to gain a hand: she knows that the only people who will really understand what the Faceless Men are, are few on the ship; but there are others, she thinks, who will interpret the words she does not say.]

A girl will listen to true and false answers alike, if she must. She only asks for answers.

I'm from Winterfell.

Be mindful.
You may anger a lost girl's brothers.

A girl is careful.

Maybe a girl will hear of stories. A woman may be interested.

[They're friends, after all, and friends look for things their friends may enjoy.]

No face at all?

[A faceless girl. Shrike is interested (keep saying Shrike, over and over, tell yourself who you are, renew, revolutionlize, replace) and it can't hurt to answer. To get to know a girl.]

I come from an island in a place called Hawai'i, in the Consolidated Nations of Northa America, on Earth. Our sun is called Sol and our moon is Luna. The way we count it's the year 2083.

Hawai'i used to be beautiful. In some parts it still is, but our world got too hot and most of the plants died and the coasts flooded. We have to use dikes and levies to keep the water back in a lot of places, and when a tsunami--a large wave, huge, large enough to crush buildings--comes, or a storm, we have a lot of floods.

We're one of the only places you can still see flowers and jungle. The things that survived adapted fast or had help from scientists. My favourite is the glowblossom. It opens at night when it's cooler and attracts birds to pollinate it by glowing blue. They don't have any on the ship, I looked.

A lot of people still speak old Hawai'ian, it got more popular after the warming. I speak a little. Aloha, a bird says to a girl. It means peace and compassion, you use it to say hello and goodbye with people you love. Not that I love you, it's an example.

We have a lot of volcanos. They're ruled by the goddess Pele, and you shoild never steal a stone from them or Pele will kill you. She's hungry and beauiful, just like where I'm from. She'll burn you alive and make you like it.

When I lived there I went swimming a lot.

[What started as a lie of how much she misses where she's from...it becomes true in the telling.]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[It's a good story, and impossible to tell truth or lie in text, but Arya likes that. It frustrates her, because now she doesn't know - but she thinks Alayne will like this story, and there are small things that stick out to her, catch her interest.]

A girl will remember this place and these new things. Does a bird have a name?

[ A proper communication was inevitable, he supposes. Better to start somewhere relatively harmless. ]

It seems we hail from the same planet, though I keep to a different continent.

My father's father, however, hailed from Braavos.

( TEXT )

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She has to search a little, to remember what name his numbers attach to. And once she knows she speaks to Alayne's father, she knows that boldness is not the face she must wear.]

A girl wonders why a father's father would leave the free city.

[No text on this end. Jesse doesn't feel like writing all this stuff out.]

Um... I'm from Albuquerque. It's a city in New Mexico, which is a state in America, which is a country on the planet Earth. My city's in the middle of the desert but it's real beautiful...

[He misses it, for all the shit that it was. The nostalgia's in his voice.]

What happened to a girl's face?

[text]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She hears the nostalgia, sees the truth in his eyes. It's a new place, a new name, and he is a new face.]

A girl has never seen a desert. Braavos is a city of canals. Beyond the Free Cities there is a great desert, but she does not venture there.

[There is a pause; there are so many secrets to consider that she must be careful.]

A girl had a face, once, but she traded it in service.

[Arya was taught to see lies and truths in eyes and jaws, in throats and mouths, not in text. She takes her time, picking through the strange words and stranger spellings, but she understands: a cat had a pack, and lost it.]

Does a cat wish to be rid of the terrible creature?

Doubt most of the answers will be any good to you. Nothing but depressing stories on this ship.

My name is Frodo Baggins. The world I am from is called Arda, and the continent Middle-Earth.

[mstitel]

My home's gone. Cities don't really exist anymore. Not for humans, at least. But we're retaking Ultra City, once I go back.

I don't really know where I'd call home, though. Probably not a physical place. Just with my family.

[Here is a familiar voice.]

My planet is called Earth. Most recently, I lived in a city called Dallas, in the United States of America, but that is not where I am from. I have lived in many cities, in many countries, but I was born in the North. Those from Earth would call it Scandinavia, but the village I was born to is long gone, and the country according to modern borders is a matter of some debate.

[ and then, since he can't help being curious: ]

May I ask if you've ever longed to have a name?

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

A girl wonders why Sawyer is not used.

[There is a pause before she gives her answer, though, because yes, yes, once she longed for a name she dared not speak for months.]

A girl does not. There is nothing to long for.

[She is not surprised at all to see Sirius' numbers pop up.]

A girl can have many faces.

[syllogism]

A boy and his friends live in the waking and dreaming worlds. He alone is awake in the world of the dreaming wherein there are two planets.
He pretends to sleep in a tower on the dark planet Derse. His ectobiological sister sleeps in a tower nearby.
They might remain safe so long as they're sleeping, but his sister sometimes sleepwalks into the abyss.
Because a boy must protect her and his other friends, he goes to retrieve her.
Derse once had a dark queen who was far from beloved. But an empress usurped her throne and proved herself worse.
Her power extended to the waking world, where a boy and his friends live in different times.
400 years before his time, the empress staked her claim on the planet Earth.
She tortured its people, the humans, to make them like her own kind. But nothing she did ever transformed them.
Then the ice caps melted, flooding the earth and killing nearly all life that doesn't dwell in the sea.
A boy lives in a castle in a seemingly unending sea with a single tower that rises from the water's surface. He is much like a prisoner in his towers.
There came a day when a boy in the waking world engaged in rap battle. That day, he was nearly assassinated in the dreaming world.
The empress had sent her agents to dispatch a boy and his friends. Only a boy and his sister survived.
A boy had revealed himself after killing the agent. He rose up against the empress and threatened to wreck her shit.
A boy would have done more if he hadn't awakened to find himself here, in this ship.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

['wreck her shit, she likes that and will start using it. The story itself she finds strange, but good: he may be another who understands, better in some ways than others. He has a reason to kill, too.]

A boy should have tried to build a boat.
