004 -- voice;
It seems there are many from my world to be welcomed aboard after this past jump. If those of Westeros inclined to make their presence known, I would speak with all of you.
[ there's a pause. a direwolf's low whine can be heard, and robb exhales slowly. ]
And I'm sure it is already known, but the lady who called herself Aberdeen is no longer aboard.
[ and feed is cut. ]

If you wish it, of course.
There are the lands beyond the Narrow Sea, The Nine Free Cities of Essos and the island of Sothoryos. There's also the Wall at the Northern most part of Westeros, and beyond that is all unknown to us, and only Wildlings and rangers venture out beyond the Wall.
no subject
Wildlings. Sounds like my kind of place, heehee!
[ She imagines the world beyond the wall (a large stone one, she pictures) as a dark forest rather than a frozen wasteland. The trees would grow impossibly high, higher than the one Terezi dwells in, and all the leaves and pine needles would block light from touching the forest floor. Undoubtedly it would be inhabited by ferocious wild things and danger would lurk around every corner.
In essence, the perfect place for Nepeta to explore. ]
Do you rule over all of these places? Even the wild things?
no subject
It's hardly a place I'd recommend. It's cold beyond anything I could describe to you, and those who dwell there aren't welcoming, or so the stories go.
[ not that old nan's stories are legit but. ]
I don't rule over the Wildlings, nor the whole of the Seven Kingdoms. I rule over the North and all who live there, in the lands above Riverrun. I lay no claim to the South, nor to their Iron Throne, and Wildlings would sooner die than swear their allegiance to me, as the only one aboard would tell you.
no subject
Ohhhh there's one aboard? [ she probably sounds a little too excited to meet this wildling ]
Well those places are really missing out! I can't imagine their kings are as good as you are. [ yes she will gush about you forever deal with it
then another thought occurs to her ]
Kings were an element of the game I played. SGRUB. I can safely say the king of Prospit wasn't as good as you either!
[ a good thing, really, otherwise she might have actually hesitated killing the Black King ]
no subject
[ no nepeta SHE IS A BAD INFLENCE. ]
You're kind to say, though I'm sure I'm too new a king to be judged against any other. When I've begun my rule, that shall be different I suppose.
no subject
[ yeah she's totally going to track down this wildling and adventure with them ]
Fair enough. But I think you'll be fine. It's always a rocky start beginning something new, but as long as you aren't purrposefully cruel or cold-hearted--which you aren't!--you're fine. Heck, you're already ahead of our empress by a long shot.
no subject
[ nepeta don't make him ground you ]
Do you suffer under a cruel ruler?
no subject
That so... well okay then!
[ the unspoken follow-up to this is I'LL HAVE TO LOOK FOR HER. ]
I've never met Her Impurrious Condescension purrsonally, thank goodness, but her influence is one of great power and terror. She has quite a reputation fur being cruel and ruthless, and she encourages the rest of our race to behave similarly. If she wasn't so fur away, I'm certain she'd have come to assassinate my furiend and the heir to the throne, Fefuri. The empress has been alive longer than anyone can remember, so who really knows the full extent of what she's done?
Luckily she and the other adult trolls were very very fur away by the time our planet was destroyed. Encountering her on top of everything else might've been too much to handle.
no subject
[ beat ]
Were it possible, my bannermen and I would come topple her as we shall our opponents in battle.
no subject
[ Her tone is a mix of awe and sadness. Awe that someone would not only be kind to a little troll girl, but go above and beyond and actually fight for her, even if only theoretically. Nep doesn't have self-esteem problems but she never thought of herself as that important or worthy. By her society's standards she's pretty expendable.
Also by Hussie's.Sadness because such a thing isn't possible. Because it would spell certain death for Robb if he could try. Not even a great king is a match for an immortal alien witch. ]
Thank you-- really, the sentiment is so sweet I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. It means more to me than you know. But our planet is dead and our race is nearly extinct. I'm sure she survived our apocalypse, but there isn't anything left fur her to rule.
[ Except the humans, but Nepeta doesn't know about that. Welp she should probably try to perk up and brighten the tone a bit. ]
Anyway, I'm sure my furiends and I are well out of her reach by now! I'm sorry Westeros had to endure such an awful thing as well. I hope that's all resolved now?
no subject
I'm sorry for that, Nepeta. But if you and yours are safe, then surely all is well.
[ because that was what mattered. family. friends. everything else could be rebuilt, though the pain of losing it owuld never be forgotten. ]
Not yet. We still wage war, but once it has been won, all shall be as it should.
no subject
It's okay. You're right, that's what's most impurrtant.
[ And she doesn't want to burst his bubble by telling him about the recent violent outbursts among her friends or the peril they're constantly in. KIDS AND FUN. ]
In that case I will hope fur a swift end to the war and your victory! I wish there was a way fur me to help. It's only fair to purrtect you from opposing armies if you're willing to take on the empress fur my sake!
no subject
Thankfully, the war has remained in Westeros, though I hope it does not carry on without me. With any luck, it shall be over soon and we need not worry about it overmuch.
no subject
...Of course, it could always be the opposite case, but I'd prefer to be pawsitive about it.
