[By now she's figured out how to turn the thing on and address it right-side-up, and has even ventured into the exciting realm of leaving personal messages.]

[But it would really help if she could actually remember the name or number of the person she wanted to contact.]

Hey. There's a white-haired human somewhere that knew where I could get a spear. Does anyone know him? Or, where I could get a spear? Or even just find things to make a spear?

[She misses a proper spear, man.]

Erm. The hell d'you want a spear for?

[maddening_gale]

How crude a spear are you planning to make? A dowel with one end whittled down, or a knife blade attached to the end of it?

[birdskullwarrior]

[She looks at the feed blankly for a moment, before answering in a deadpan.]

Spearing things. What do you think I'd need it for?

video

[birdskullwarrior]

Bladed. With a steel rod and counterweight.

I have a ... model, I guess. [She reaches back to pull something form her hair, letting it fall around her shoulders, and presents the feed with her original spear, which had remained it's tiny 10" self when she'd arrived on the ship. Not much help as a spear.] Like this.

[maddening_gale]

[Not as a spear, but perhaps as a dart. Either way, it's considerably more businesslike than he actually anticipates.]

Well, that may be more difficult to come by. An engineer may be able to create something similar.

How long have you studied spear artes?

[birdskullwarrior]

[Or, currently, a hair stick. She reaches back to affix it in her long brown hair, not doing too much to care for how it lays as long as everything is out of the way.]

Do you know any engineers?

[She frowns slightly at spear artes, since she had no schooling or any kind. In her world, you found or made what you could and figured out yourself how to make the best of it.]

Most of my life, I guess.

[logicunlocked]

Still on that spear kick, huh?

[birdskullwarrior]

Hey, I need something to defend myself, don't I? [She gives a slight smile, though, recognizing him as the one who helped her not starve to death.]

[northerner]

I know little and less of spear-making. Those of my house were never partial to them. A pity none of the House Martell are aboard, they would be able to sort you out.

[birdskullwarrior]

I could probably make one if I could find the stuff to do it. [This place still confuses her.]

What do you do? I wouldn't say no to learning something new.

[northerner]

Ask those who work in the Oxygen Garden. Perhaps they've an approprietly sized branch to spare you.

Swordplay and shieldwork, that was what men of the North engaged in.

[birdskullwarrior]

Wood? No, wood won't work. [She frowns. Wood had been dead, brittle and broken where she came from. She couldn't imagine using anyhting built with it to any effect.] I need metal.

[maddening_gale]

Not personally, no, but someone with those skills is likely to be found either with the science department or with the flight crew.

Do you follow a particular style, or are you self-taught? [Inquiring minds want to know. Other spear-users are few and far between here.]

[northerner]

Metal? What's wrong with wood?

video

[birdskullwarrior]

Self-taught. 2 had a telescoping spear, but I wanted something with more weight.

[birdskullwarrior]

It breaks. I've only ever seen wood dead and brittle. Swords are all metal though, right? Could you make one? Could you teach me to use it?

[northerner]

I cannot forge swords, but if you procure one, I would teach you the use of it.

[birdskullwarrior]

I'll keep that in mind.

Who are you, so I know who to look for?

[northerner]

My name is Robb Stark, King of the North and Lord of Winterfell.

[ all he sounds as he states his title is tired. ]

Ask for me, and there are many aboard who can point you in my direction.

[birdskullwarrior]

[Well 'King' is sort of a trigger for her, after her experience with 1, and she raises her eyebrows slightly.]

[But, she doesn't comment, instead giving a sharp nod.] Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I'm 7.

[logicunlocked]

[ Okay, at that he thinks of something and it's not a pleasant thought. He might only barely know her, but he doesn't want to see her do something stupid. ]

You're not planning to go out where those monsters are, are you?

video;

[deprecate]

No, that was about what I was surmising. I was hoping perhaps you might say something different, like, erm, "for affixing a placard to and havin' a peaceful protest". The fuck you planning on spearing, then?

[birdskullwarrior]

[She frowns and gives her head a little tilt, as if that's a pretty stupid question to be asking.]

Someone has to.

[For her, it's instinct; it's what she was built for; attacking the enemy, protecting others. It's a no-brainer.]

video;

[birdskullwarrior]

Monsters, of course.

Why would I put it away in peaceful protest if there's trouble going on?

[logicunlocked]

Are you actually planning something out, or are you going to just rush in there looking for them? 'Cause if you do the second thing, you're just asking for something bad to happen.
