we know not the trials before us [VIDEO]

[ The video feed shows a girl in her mid-teens, pale and with her hair hanging loose around her face. She's dressed in what some might consider an old-fashioned style -- a dark skirt and coat, with what is very obviously a man's overcoat slung over her shoulders. The left sleeve of her coat is tied in a knot at the elbow, and hangs loose below the knot.

She appears to be somewhere in the oxygen garden, judging from the foliage behind her. ]

I did not think to find myself in this place again. Can anyone tell me if a Mister Tillman or a Mister Lensherr are still in residence? Or Bran Stark or Jack Kelly? Or a girl called Chase?

[He...thinks he recognizes her.]

Mr. Kelly, Mr. Stark, and Ms. Chase are all still present. I cannot speak for the other two. You were here before?

I was, though it was some days ago. I think...I was here for a great deal more time than I was missed. Mister Cogburn swore it to be only an hour or so that he slept and was unaware of my whereabouts. It is something inexplicable.

I suppose I must be grateful for those familiar faces that remain. I am sorry for the ones who are gone, though I suppose it is wrong and selfish of me, still I must speak the honest truth about it.

I see no selfishness in it, miss. Only a natural sort of nostalgia. But I must inquire...For you it has been but several days since you last were here?

[The usual weariness of the Jump was doubled this time by Bran's weariness after the nightmares. He has relied on others to tell him of important things, and mostly made responses by writing. But no writing could properly express the way in which his heart lifts when he sees this post, and he finds himself smiling, no matter how tired he might otherwise look.]

Mattie Ross! You're back!

Bran Stark! [ Mattie hasn't been much inclined toward smiling lately, but for Bran she will, and be glad of it too. ] I am sorry you still find yourself in this place, but it is a great pleasure to see you all the same.

And I am sorry that you have been brought back here. It might be a selfishness, but I am happy to see you, too. There has been good that has happened for being here--

[He stops at that, and bites at his lip a little.]

But I have thought of you often, and the stories you told me. You are in the Gardens?

Lehnsherr fuc- disappeared a while back, so I guess you've just got Tillman to wait on now.

It does not seem that I could have been gone long enough for anyone to disappear 'a while back'. But I shall hope that he is in his home again, and happy. And express my gratitude for the information.

That's just how things work around here. Once you're back in the pods, there's no way of knowing how long's passed unless someone else tells you.

Erik's been gone for a while.

Left me with his damn dog.

I shall miss him. He was kind to me.

I do not think a dog can be damned, being in lack of a soul. Though you may risk such if you do not better police your language.

Really?

...I didn't mean it literally.

And you can not be serious.

Tillman's been missing for a while. [ October wasn't exactly super close to him, but the guy helped her out a few times, so she's noticed. ]

I am sorry to hear it, for he was the very first to befriend me here. I shall miss him greatly.

Yeah. [ What is she supposed to say to that? ] Are the other people you're looking for still around, at least?

You're here... again? [So... people come here more than once? This is all just going right over this little kid's head. Riiight over it.] Did you run away? How'd you do it—run away?

[I GOT PLACES TO BE, DADS TO FIND.]

No, I did not run away. I went into the- [ About to call them coffins, she stops abruptly, realizing that is not the terminology to use when speaking to a child. ] I went into the things they call couches, for sleeping when the ship goes through the rough places, and when I woke up I was back home. Only I did not stay for long, and now I am here again.

What is your name?

Mattie!

Oh my god, Mattie, Mattie, you're back, you're-- aw, Christ, darlin', I can't tell you how much I missed you! Aw, Christ, where are you? You still in the same room?
