[ And in this corner, representing for the various Westerosi - because between pyromania and keysmashes, someone has to - is someone who's discovered that the keyboard function isn't meant to be pounded relentlessly. Nah, they're letters. Letters like in words. ]

[ Wow, guys, imagine that. Let's practice type some words. ]

[ But she must have hit the wrong key because the textual screen is suddenly replaced with a live feed of a young woman who is dubiously hunched over her communication device and practicing the cordi-board keys. It's not that hard, see? And video isn't that bad a thing, either, though it's accidental and the surprise is evident on her face. But this works; she'd had a question burning in the back of her mind since she woke up and started toying with this...thing. ]

A ship, is it? [ Whoops! Asha, your blatant and tasteless skepticism is showing through. That's not very ladylike. Cover that shit like it were your ankles! ]

And just who captains it?

[ Or...don't. That's okay, too. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

Yes, a ship.

[krakeness]

[ Not exactly the question she'd hoped to have answered; that one was a bit more rhetorical. ]

And? [ A ship and -? ] We've already established it's a ship.

[wolfinthesnow]

And the captain hardly speaks to us.

[krakeness]

How much is hardly?

[deadandred]

If I knew, doll, I'd tell ya. I'm just as new as you are.

[krakeness]

There seem to be plenty of people here who are willing to enlighten the newcomers here. Surely you can't be entirely without use.

[deadandred]

Well, I guess I could give ya a tour, if you want.

[voice]

[doggedly]

And what if we say no, this is not a ship?

[voice]

[krakeness]

[ Well, you're the only on saying that so she'd have to call bullshit eventually. Eventually being the keyword here, because for now she's amicable. ]

I wouldn't know who to call a liar then. This does not resemble any ship I've ever set foot on.

[voice]

[doggedly]

[It could be a 'one voice of reason against a thousand voices of madness' sort of thing... but of course it isn't.]

If it doesn't resemble a ship, then logic would dictate that it isn't a ship, which makes me your honest man.

[Hey, look -- she seems to be figuring it out. A+ to you, Asha.]

The Captain's name is Ward. He's not particularly present or available, however.

[Tali's probably the tamer of the exposures to aliens Asha can have, really...]

[krakeness]

[ Oh boy, good grades! Her father will be so proud - like he isn't of her little brother~ ]

Not a particularly good captain then, is he. [ Judging Ward? Judging Ward. ]

[gofortheoptics]

I don't think it was the position he was meant for.

The ship had only two crew left when we first arrived.

The captain doesn't really talk to many people. You might want to talk to Jim Kirk though. [She shrugs.]

I've never met him, but people talk about him like he knows things.

[krakeness]

[ Jim Kirk... Well, that's just a strange name no matter how you pronounce it. ]

Many men speak as if they know things. Given how much anyone else has been able to tell me, I would not be surprised if he knew as little as they.

[ Don't worry. She's not discarding this information completely, but storing it away in the darker recesses of her mind. Just in case it comes up again. ]

[notevenagirl]

Back home, we probably would have just tortured someone who knew something, but suppose things are different here. No one really knows anything. You're on a ship, it probably wants us all dead, so try not to die.

[She shrugs.]

But there's a group of people that are sort'a used to this environment-- space and all. They're tryin' to get us out of here. You want to know about that? Jim Kirk seems to be the name everyone's throwin' around.

[altercate]

Can anyone on this ship type?

[ ALL THE KEYSMASHING WHAT EVEN. ]

voice;

[krakeness]

[ SOB THOSE WERE LEGIT WORDS SHUT UP. ]

I could write perfectly fine with quill and parchment.

voice;

[altercate]

And it looks like we're fresh out of them.

[ so, so dryly. ]

audio; laaaaate

[notmydiagnosis]

Who's the captain depends on who you ask.

audio; there is no such thing :)

[krakeness]

Let's say I am asking you.

[notmydiagnosis]

Kirk seems to have things in order, but it's more for surface appearances.

[ Why... hello there "Yara". Now, you might notice one Stannis Baratheon, who has gotten somewhat better at working this device, frowning.

And frowning some more.

And continuing to frown.

Before finally speaking... ]

A baseborn servant girl who knows her letters.

[ He was right not to trust her. ]

video;

[krakeness]

[ Man, so much frowning. Lighten up, would you? ]

I'm of an age with plenty of the highborn children. They did not like learning alone and I did not like staying in my mother's quarters all day.

video;

[bruxisms]

[ that is like asking the sky to be pink. ]

Do you truly expect me to believe an Ironborn servant girl would be interested in such?

[ "Yara", he does not trust you any more than he trusts others on this ship. ]

Speak plainly. Who are you, truly?
