[ first oath ♞ accidental video ]

[upheld]

Hello?

[ The device is on now, not directed at anything in particular - the user's obvious inexperience is shown by the fact that you only have the glimpse of blonde hair and the rest is angled at a wall, but the voice takes no notice and keeps on speaking to it. She has had the object for a week now, simply sitting in her pocket - near forgotten with the still present shock of simply being here. Until earlier, when she had found it again by chance and remembered it's existence.

Where did this come from? ]

I thought that I heard voices speaking from this some time ago.

[ there's a whirl of color and she has adjusted to, by luck angle the camera to focus on her, if only for a moment before she has her fingers obscuring the view. In case it is not entirely obvious, the user has little or no knowledge whatsoever of the purpose and function and when she removes them from the lens, it is now pointed downwards towards the floor.

Yes, it's another one of them. ]

Hello!

You'll want to--you'll want to pick that up, if you're broadcasting video to the network, nobody really wants to look at the floor.

And just so we're clear, because it sort of sounds like you're not entirely sure how the communicator works, exactly, I am not the little black box, I am another passenger, talking to you through the little black box. Technology, right? Easy mistake, no worries.

[ this time Brienne does not startle when she hears the voice, she almost expects it now and there is a good few moment's before she does have the device on and focused -- this time, on her face. Well. Close enough to it, the image is far from steady. She frowns. ]

Like so?

[ How. Odd. ]

So the purpose of this is to speak to others, then.

[perma-voice]

[testgasm]

Thaaaat's the idea. Contact anyone on the ship. Or the whole ship at once, as you have. Done. Already.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

You did.

[Oh, dear, another one...]

This is a voice that broadcasts both your voice and others' voices.

[video]

[upheld]

[ at least she did not hear something that did not truly exist. ]

I have never heard of nor seen such an object that can do so before.

[voice forever!]

[jurisimpudent]

Perhaps not. But as you see and hear, this one does precisely that.

[chromosomes]

[ Eyebrow raise. ]

You did. It's a communications device. Turn it over, up toward your face.

[ by now Brienne has at least got that the device is supposed to go this way and it is to speak into. Even if some of the words used she does not quite get.

Its pointed in the correct direction this time, at least. ]

I believe I have that much now, ser.

[chromosomes]

Well. [ ... he didn't plan for anything past that part. ] That's good, then.

[ A+ conversation there Reaper. ]

[voice]

[wolfdreamer]

It is used for speaking. You are speaking to everyone now.

[Well does Bran remember first trying to use the devices. It was only lucky that he had Alayne to teach him of their proper uses--and sad, too, that not everyone has so good a friend as Alayne Stone to teach them such things.]

[video]

[upheld]

[ she has spoken to few, and kept to herself mostly - speaking with Alayne once upon arrival, but would not know her by name. ]

All aboard the ship can hear us, you are saying?

[video]

[wolfdreamer]

[It is easier to respond in kind, so he switches over with a small smile.]

Yes. It is useful for communicating. There are ways to talk in secret, but you must be taught how. But anyone can learn.

[video]

[kindlings]

[ She laughs heartily at the view of the carpet. ]

...An' I thought I was bad. 'Least I knew to look into the window of the small box!

[ technology is new to her okay ]

I did, but I saw nothing.

[ The picture may be obscured, but the voice is familiar. Sometimes, Jaime still dreams that he's back home and that Brienne of Tarth rides up to his camp with Sansa Stark in tow, and Jaime's promise to a dead woman is finally fulfilled. Then he wakes and remembers that he is here, and Sansa calls herself Alayne, and Brienne never did return.

Until now. ]

You'll grow used to it, my lady. We aren't given much choice in the matter.

[ and Brienne, while told that others of Westeros resided on the ship - she had hardly expected to see him here. Last she had seen him, left with the errand of finding Sansa and a priceless sword to boot. She had not found her, and likely would not now.

She is staring, blurting quickly ]

Ser Jaime?

( PRIVATE | ENCRYPTED | 40% )

[wont]

Kingslayer.

[ Her tone is no different than her normal pinch and pucker, though there is the glint of something in the word. Something harder, like steel. (Only maybe that verve looks to cover another sentiment, something like anxiety, the noose of her lies hung heavy above her own head. A strange thing that, during her time aboard the ship, Alayne has come to lie around Jaime Lannister least of all.) ]

Why does the Lady Brienne look for Sansa Stark?

[dirtyword]

Thinkin' you've figured out how to use it properly by now. When you from?

[ if she finds the question odd, she says it not, if others are from all over.. ] It is the year 300. I hail from Westeros.

[allucinator]

[He grins at her, eyes bright.]

Hiya! Yeah, there's voices-- there's loads o' us here! But we ain't voices, we're people. It's a little box that lets us all talk even though we ain't in the room together. Nifty, huh?

I'm Jack. Jack Kelly.

Brienne of Tarth.

It is... unusual. Is it done through some sort of enchantment? [ how else could it be done? It's not as if she has never encountered enchantments -- of a different source, yes. ]

( P E R M A - V I D E O )

[wont]

[ If there is one thing that may be said of Alayne Stone, it is that she has taken to her father's lessons — perhaps far too well. It makes her suspicious and guileless in turn, won over by songs of a certain note but distrustful and wary (though buried well-below, beneath the surface of her name and her mockingbird's feathers, there always lies Sansa Stark's compassion).

Knowledge is power and so she reads the conversations the Westerosi have with one another, this Brienne of Tarth being an unknown. (Was she a player or was she a piece?) Her mention of Sansa is enough to strike a note of fear in her heart, but any ally gained by the Kingslayer would not serve Robb in the end. ]

Lady Brienne. [ She dips a bow. Her tone is courteous and betrays nothing. ] You are of the Kinglsayer's acquaintance?

[ Then, levity laced with steel: ] I pity you.

( P E R M A - V I D E O )

[upheld]

I know him, yes. [ there is something in the girl's voice she does not expect, the hard note - pity. Brienne is no stranger to pity, but this is a different sort. Needless, she is taken aback. According to the woman she had spoken to, on her first day aboard the ship, Alayne is Westerosi. Of course she knew who Jaime was and his reputation was hardly working for him.

An acquaintance - is that what he is when they'd spent weeks captive together, and after he'd saved her with little thought to his own well being? Given her a priceless sword and a mission?

When in truth, he is the only face she truly knows here. She trusts him. ]

And why, pray tell is it that you pity me? Because of our acquaintance?

[ Brienne keeps the waver out of her voice. No anger, no falter, only truly wants to know. ]

[ the device was queer to him, that much was certain. yet, he knew the face, though they had only met once, at an ill-fated parlay as his brother had offered him a peach. he had laughed to her then.

and it was she (so they said) that had been the death of him. for what reason she had done the deed, he could not quite be certain. yet, it had seemed to him that the reports had no reason to lie.

(though perhaps in the back of his mind, he could hear Davos' voice, and the fleeting memory of a dream and a shadow)

when he replies, his voice is calm, betraying little emotion. ]

I had not expected to see such a woman here.

[ he wonders if it is his duty to kill her.

(Melisandre killed your brother, Renly) ]

[ Brienne, at first hardly recognizes Stannis Baratheon. It had so long been since she had seen him, two brothers had met on the eve of battle on opposite sides of the field.

It looked like Stannis... is that not what Lady Catelyn had said as they fled and did Brienne not swear to avenge Renly as they made their way to Robb Stark's encampment? ]

Lord Stannis. I could say similar, I had not thought to see you here.

[ it is a surprise to see him here, as well. So many of Westeros, more than originally thought.

But yeah. She mad. ]
