first dream. video -> text. | unlocked

[ the video is at first, accidental--simply because bran was repeating what the fairies had told him when the locket was placed in his hands. what eachdraidh is presented with is not the face of a boy, but the snout and eyes of a very large wolf, looking into the locket as if he could see straight through it. ]

That isn't--Summer, to me-- [ the video jostles for a moment, just long enough to show a blurry, shaky image, as if the locket was being carried by someone and left to dangle. the image is of a boy, maybe eight or nine years old, with curly brown hair and piercing blue eyes. he looks surprised to see his own face in the locket, and when he lunges forward, it's only with his hands, as if he couldn't move otherwise from where he seemed to be seated against a pillar.

(he couldn't.)

the feed cuts off for a moment, before it's replaced with the text function. if it wasn't for the dictation of the lockets, bran wouldn't be able to speak with this, surely, but he watches it move with fascination as he speaks into it. ]


I seek someone who could carry a boy great distances.
My companion might have wandered off
But he only speaks his name, and is very large.
else, I would ask for help, with only kindnesses to spare in return.
I am at the castle the fairy called Caer Glaem, and I would like to move to the room they have granted me.

Thank you


[ bran doesn't like asking for help. he's never liked it, but losing his legs forced the young wolf to learn to trust people, even when he didn't want to. all he could do was hope that meera or jojen or hodor had simply wandered off, and that once he was moved to somewhere safe, he could search the castle through summer's eyes, instead.

if reached before response, bran can be found sitting up against a pillar. summer is a fair distance away, but not so far--the moment someone approaches, the large wolf steps protectively in front of the boy, ears pinned back, nose ready to curl up in a snarl. ]

[ Someone else is much the same, regarding the text-dictation function. If not for the flash of video he wouldn't have responded, but the young boy reminds him (in all his manners) of his own son, and the Elvenking is more soft-hearted than many know. ]

Tell me the name of your companion and I shall send word if I find them whilst away from Caer Glaem on business.

[ she thinks she knows that face! gods -- it is still young, but older still than she remembers. and though she sits busy and fretting in troichean beinn (so so far from caer glaem) she feels as if her heart is there with a brother thought dead before lady meera came and brought hope to her family.

sansa watches as the feed ends -- her gut wrenches to see him disappear off the locket -- but then words follow. and she responds: ]


I saw you. [ frantic. almost careless in its construct. ] Please -- please -- tell me your name.

[ let it be stark! ]

I shall inform all those in my service to be on the look-out at their posts.

[ Or he'll tell Legolas's company to do that, because they won't disobey him anyway. ]

Elvenking, not lord. Thranduil of Eryn Lasgalen, father of Legolas. I shall also inform the dwarf-lords of your search for this person.
What is your name, young one?

Brandon!

[ yes or no. she is not a gambling girl and cannot imagine for certain that this boy is her brandon. sansa's brandon. but she clings to the locket a little harder. she has introduced herself to the drabwurld as sansa stark only two days prior and she could by all rights introduce herself again right now. but fear runs deep. and paranoia is hard to shake.

she responds without voice once more: ]
Brandon is a handsome name.

I know a woman named Meera who was looking for some boys herself, when she first arrived.

[ She doesn't ask if this boy could be one of them -- it's implied, certainly, but she will not ask outright. Not with what Meera has told her of her world, of the enemies that look for her and hers. ]

Maybe she knows who you're looking for.

[ OH GOOD. Ariadne is rather relieved herself, even if it's been months since Meera arrived. She had been so worried about the boys she was with, after all. ]

Yes, that's her! Last I knew she was in Cothromach, to the east of Caer Glaem. She has a locket as well; I'm sure she'll see you asking for your mutual companion and reply.

I would help you or take you to her myself, but I'm across the map.

She speaks the truth. I'm not in Caer Glaem, but I am not far either.

[And the hardships and the guilt of the last few weeks seem to melt off her quickly.]

Can I see you? I can switch it to private if you like.

[ARE YOU SAFE???]

[ This child, bless. ]

Well met, Bran. You may call me Thranduil, if you wish.

Yes, this is Allaidh Darach, the Drabwurld. A world between worlds, where the High-Kings and High-Queens of Light and Dark seek to overthrow one another. This is where shadows are born, and the stars are ever different to those above the lands of Shardholders.

You are here because one of these courts, the Seelie or Unseelie, has called you forth to the side where you best belong. I, myself, once belonged to the former.

[Her smile is tender upon sight, and it does not take long for her to switch over to video so he can see her properly. She looks much the same, stressed but not without the capability of reason and a kind smile. But it does waiver when he asks that.]

I'm afraid they aren't here. This place does not take everyone at once. I looked for you as well when I came, but has been some months, and I have had no word of any of you. [So imagine her elation.]

But much of your family is here. You can take comfort in that. [She will not mention Eddard, feeling it is not her place.

--And then a pause.]
It is good to see you, Prince Bran.

I have an uncle named Brandon.

[This is really the weirdest request Jack has ever seen over the lockets. And he's a pretty weird guy to begin with.]

I'm all out of long-distance boy-carriers at the mo, lad, but you've got lots of beneficient, strong-backed people in this place.
[How helpful.]
boutant: ([smile] good work)

I try to be, at least. Thank you for saying so.

It takes weeks to get from Caer Glaem or Caer Scima to the Station on horseback. Longer, of course, if you walk. But there are fairy rings that let you go to other fairy rings instantly, and those are all only a few days away from the main destinations nearby.

Two of them. And a little sister.

[ this crawls close to her heart. and her sorrow. ned stark's departure from these lands is a fresh one, and she still grieves. ]

Back home, yes. [For this place somehow could bring the dead as well.]

But Jon and Sansa are here now, as well as Arya.

STARK.

[ one word. emphasized. and she feel dizzy-floating-wild when she waits for the reply. like the world is tossed upside down. like she is some other girl. she longs to crawl back into alayne's skin and take refuge there in the lie.

it was easier. ]
