[The feed opens on a young man — very pretty, and eyeing the device in his hand with some poorly-hidden skepticism.]

Good evening. I— this is working?

[A puzzled frown, and a slight cock of his head. This entire thing still seems somewhat dubious. But after a moment, he continues on.]

... I have two questions. First, is it true that our absence is not noticed in our own worlds? I would appreciate assurance on this matter, if there is any to be given.

Second... I am aware that we cannot willingly return to our homes. However... I understand that people do leave, and furthermore that some have found themselves here a second time. If there are any who have, and who remember, I would speak to them.

[A polite nod of his head, and — another frown, as he fiddles with the device. Forgive him. He's new. Finally, it turns off.]

What if we don't remember?

I've heard it's like nothing has happened when we get back, but I don't believe it. It sounds too good to be true.

Are you speaking from experience?

I thought as much myself. And yet, it seems to me that very little of of this should be possible. Why not that small kindness?

None I know have noticed my absence, when they arrive here.

None at all? That is a comfort, then.

Are you new to such devices?

[Jon don't laugh you too were once new]

[no, you'll just make him cranky!]

Entirely.

... It was but a small mistake. I will not make it again.

They can take time to grow used to. What's your name, Ser?

Wait-- really? Nobody notices that we're gone?

[Albert. Good job.]

Loras Tyrell.

So they say.

It's not this ship's goal to play nice. You'll learn that pretty quick when another horror show happens.

Oh... [his expression falls visibly...]

I suppose-- that's a good thing, isn't it?

Why should it not be?

Meaning what?

It has a fondness for monsters and trying to killing us.

No-- I mean, it is good! Just... you know, the thought of nobody ever noticing you were gone... it's a little bit sad, isn't it?

... I had not thought of it. Still, I would prefer it to the alternative.

Be that as it may, does it seem so much more unlikely than the idea of us finding ourselves here in the first place?

Yeah... I suppose so. It's not good to make people worry.

[A very prominent pause]

Of Highgarden?

I can't say I remember, but I would be willing to talk of my experiences, such as I know of them.

[awkward pauses all around!]

The same.

If only that were my main concern.
