( 03 ) video ✵ i got six friends and they all know your name

[stacked]

So, look, I get everybody's all jazzed about that list or whatever, and people wanna do the mourning thing. All good, have at it.

What I'm wondering though, is what we got working to find out who helped the dead dude get that way. Still pretty new around here so I don't know what you got rigged up already, but where I'm from something like this happens we mount up before there's a dead guy number two.

[ so that was... kind of a job application. if you tilt your head and squint. and to seal the deal. ]

Wouldn't mind helping out.

I knew his double, or whatever. Hate that guy.

Doesn't mean I'm not bored, and might as well do what I'm trained to. ...Kind of. Be better if I could kill something.

[wolfinthesnow]

Do you know how to use a sword?

[stacked]

Yeah, why?

[wolfinthesnow]

If I find you one, will you train with me?

[stacked]

Depends. Can you handle getting your ass kicked by a chick?

[wolfinthesnow]

Are you asking me if I have a problem if a woman wins?

[They need Faith-to-Westerosii translation services.]

[stacked]

[ honestly, people from her own time don't have an idea what faith means, half the time.

the ren faire may be forever doomed, linguistically speaking. ]

Nah, just telling you if you take me on you're gonna end up face down on the floor. But I promise I'll let you get a couple hits in first.

[ her face: :D. literally. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

All the better to train.

[stacked]

Man, you are just all kinds of steady, aren't you?

[ not that she's complaining, but her experience with that sort of thing is limited. ]

But yeah, you're on. Anytime.

[wolfinthesnow]

I haven't spoken to you in a bit.

[I.E. How are you?]

[stacked]

Been around. Bored out of my goddamn mind, but around. You?

[wolfinthesnow]

This past jump has kept me occupied.

[stacked]

I didn't end up on the field trip from hell, so it's been same old for me.

[wolfinthesnow]

I went into the ship with Strider, instead. We found nothing.

[stacked]

We got plenty of nothing on this ship.

[wolfinthesnow]

It is much larger than I had imagined.

[stacked]

One guy told me it's the size of a big ass city back home.

[wolfinthesnow]

But not as wide as the North.

[stacked]

Right, 'cos your North's freaking huge. Wall and all.

[ okay, here's the thing. faith doesn't ask for things. she takes them or she pretends she doesn't care, but she really would like more wall stories, and jon's a decent enough guy... ]

What's it look like? [ totally casual, not at all gonna be disappointed by 'we made it out of scrap metal' or something. ]

[wolfinthesnow]

It is seven hundred feet tall in places, taller in others, and extends three hundred miles from one end of Westeros to the other. It's built of stone, although often ice covers much of it.

[stacked]

Damn.

[ she whistles, low and impressed. ]

You guys build big in Westeros.

[wolfinthesnow]

It is one of the largest structures made by man in Westeros. Only one building is taller, they say, although I have not seen the High Tower of Oldtown to tell you if that is true.

[stacked]

...The what where?

[wolfinthesnow]

The High Tower of Oldtown. It is said to be taller than the Wall, it is in the South.

[stacked]

So you got the North, and the South. Gonna take a wild guess-- got an East and a West, too?

[ wait for it. ]

So what's the tower like?
