001, video

[The video turns on first -- a closeup of a handsome young man’s face. A blue eye flashes in the screen for a moment, then the camera is turned over in his hands, buttons are pressed -- and it switches to voice. There is silence for a moment, save for the fumbling of Renly’s hands and some quiet breaths, and then -- a soft ‘Aah.’ The strange device is blinking at him, apparently he is meant to communicate. Sadly, his voice does not sound quite as authoritative as he wishes it to, mostly due to confusion.]

This is King Renly Baratheon, lord of the Seven Kingdoms. Speak, whoever listens, and tell me how I may return home. I have pressing business to attend to and a war to win.

[He falls silent once again, frowning, and pokes at the comm, some of the arrogance in his tone fading to honest curiosity and confusion.] If there is anyone listening, that is. This device is quite strange.

[ Cibo's seen this before on the network — passengers desperate for a way home when there was none. She's stoic, as usual, and her tall structure leans to fit into the frame of the screen. ~~She needs to find a higher place to put this thing.~~ ]

There is no returning to your reality. At least, there isn't one that we can find yet. I am sorry.

[ There is a pause. Her expression softens. ] And if you need help adjusting to the technology, I am available.

...another one, huh? We're starting quite a collection of kings here on the Tranquility.

[ neal is a helpful person what. ]

[Well, that's...a bit of a surprise. Particularly since that certainly is not the older brother, unless he comes from a point earlier than Stannis...]

King Renly Baratheon? How did you come by your crown?

Yeah, welcome to the club, man. [ A beat. ] You're on a space ship and, from what I hear, there isn't a way to get home. I'm pretty sure almost everyone in this place has 'pressing business' to be gettin' back to, but good luck figurin' out how to do it.

You might want to read the welcome guide.

[ Given that Lord Renly is one of the few that remain from King's Landing who can recognize Sansa Stark with a glance, Alayne has not yet spoken up. Though, she is most certainly listening. ]

[ All these dead kings, WHAT IS GOING ON. ]

A person would think there are twenty-eight kingdoms.

[Oh for fuck's sake.]

Renly...Baratheon.

[ Brienne is just ... staring, awestruck. Seeing Renly, here, alive... but he was dead, died in her arms. ]

Your... Grace.

[...Oh the box is talking. That's ...somewhat unexpected, but at least it doesn't show much in his voice, despite the ever-growing confusion.]

--Ah, it would seem I do, my lady.

Are you? Who might they be?

I fight for it, ser, I have not yet claimed the throne.

[There is silence for a moment, considering this.]

Thank you for the information, ser.

[Well.]

Fight against whom?

Edited 2012-09-12 22:44 (UTC)

I shall do so. [....Presumably after figuring out how text works.]

Are there so many kings here?

Is there any other?

[Oh, and he is smiling, but you can't see it. Feel free to imagine, Brienne.]

My lady Brienne! It is good to see a friend here.

It would be easiest to demonstrate its functions in person, but I can give you basic navigation now.

[ Which she settles in her position and begins to explain some of the more basic functions of the device; posting to the network, contacting others, and the like. ]

There isn't too much more to it. If you have any other questions, I will answer.

Why do you ask?

Not me, we. The general population.

...At last count? There's-- let's see. The serious young one with all the siblings, the other overly serious one who can't use the shift key, and now you.

[ plus some other contenders neal doesn't know about, but hey. ren faire is complicated, yo. ]

Because, as you shall soon discover, some of your rivals are on this very ship.

If you need any help figuring out the devices, there are people around who are willing to help. Just let someone know.

I should hope not.

Well shitknickers you old timey lot are certainly an amusement. Ive encountered several of you before.
I, jake english, the page of hope from the land of skullsmuggling, suitor of too many to count and keeper of microshorts for choice ass have to break the newflash to you and say that there really isnt way for you to get home unless the vessel itself sends you home.

More at 11.

I am also up to date with the lateest technology and have done some work on electronic devices and robo mechanics myself if you need a holler for anything sir.
