[ Something feels off about this time. The lack of the psychic connection, the absence of her fellow Travelers, and most importantly, the welcome package. It's all puzzling, but she's willing to put aside her confusion to switch on the video feed.

When the feed starts, it reveals a solemn looking young lady, holding herself as regally as possible. When she speaks, it is with deliberate politeness.]


Hello. This is the Lady Sansa Stark of Winterfell speaking. I seem to be your newest arrival. I must deliver my kindest thanks for the welcoming gifts, as well as the communication device. The materials inside proved to be most helpful.

I, however, am not quite sure what I am expected to do from here. I would be more than happy to assist in anyway I can, as it seems newcomers are expected to do. I would also like to get to know all of you.

Thank you for your time. [ She bows her head, then curtsies politely, and the feed finishes.]

[Mikasa didn't really pay much attention to this until she realized the woman just said her name was "Sansa Stark". Wait... Sansa...? Wasn't that...?

Flipping on her video...]

Excuse me for asking, but do you happen to know someone named "Armin"?

[Video]

[canbebrave]

[ Sansa visibly freezes, her composure slipping away. Armin is hardly a common name. ]

Armin-- is he here?

[Video]

[inhisdebt]

... So you are her.

[She's silent for a moment before giving her a proper salute out of habit and respect.]

Yes, he's here and... He'll definitely be happy to see you. Especially after everything that's going on.

My name is Mikasa Ackerman and... he's one of my best friends back home. He told me a little about you but I.. [Didn't expect to see her here... No...] I'm just glad that he could see you again.

[canbebrave]

[ Sansa's heart feels like it might leap from her chests, she's so relieved, that of all people, Armin is here. The salute is returned with another perfected curtsy- and the girl's introduction makes her smile.]

Mikasa. I've heard so much of you, I think of you already as a dear friend. Thank you, for everything you did for him. [ She has always felt a little envious of the mysterious idea of Mikasa, but the fact that Armin would tell his friend about her makes her feel more at ease. She wonders what exactly she's been told, but puts it out of her mind quickly. ] It's lovely to meet you.

[She can't say that she's not surprised by that. To think of her as a dear friend when they finally just met? Not that she's against that or anything.. And she seems very polite. It's no wonder Armin likes her from what she's heard.]

Oh well.. It's nothing really. I'm just... I'm sorry I couldn't have helped him during those trials he faced in the other world...

[Which she doesn't even have to guess what Mikasa means by that because she more than likely know exactly what she means.]

I'm glad to be able to meet you as well. I'm sure Armin is already on his way to get you. If he isn't already, I'll be sure to tell him you're here.

[canbebrave]

[ Mikasa's words confirm her fears. This isn't another of the Trumps games then, for Mikasa to talk about it like another world. And it sounds like Armin's already been here, a long time.]

It's for the better you didn't. [ She doesn't mean for her words to be cruel, but out of sincerity. It is the best that Mikasa wasn't there, didn't have to suffer the horrors that were placed upon her. ] We took care of each other as best we could, during that time.

Thank you. It would be a great favor.

[Video]

[inhisdebt]

No I... I think I should be thanking you.

Thank you for looking after him when I couldn't.

[Video]

[canbebrave]

Ah... You should not thank me for that, my Lady. I am no great protector.

[Video]

[inhisdebt]

Mikasa is fine but..

[She shows her a very faint smile as if to reassure her.]

It's pretty quiet here, besides a few things here and there so... You shouldn't have to worry about the dangers nearly as much. It... also sort of gives you time to think about things you never really took the time to think about.

[Which is sort of a double edged blade right now, but.... she's also started to date Jean too because of it so... it wasn't always so bad.. Right?]

[Video]

[canbebrave]

[ Time to think. That's the last thing Sansa needs- but she doesn't need to tell Mikasa that. She just nods simply. ]

It ... will be nice not to worry as much. Thank you.

[Video]

[inhisdebt]

Well, until he gets there. I'm sure you have questions, besides what you're familiar with to some degree...

I've been here for about 6 months now, but Armin and the others have only really been here for about a month.

[Video] hi /threadjacks

[neighvarily]

Are you fucking kidding.

[canbebrave]

Excuse me?

[neighvarily]

Nothing, just figured you weren't actually real.

[canbebrave]

I'm not sure what you've heard of me, but I can assure you, I'm quite real.

[neighvarily]

Yeah okay. You're perfect for eachother, whatever.

[Despite the initial shock, it's none of his business.]

Thread jack party!

[inhisdebt]

[Before she could answer back, there's Mikasa butting into his feed.]

Jean.

[That was all she needed to say, because he could probably infer from the look she's giving him that he should be careful with wording.]

Thread jacks!

[neighvarily]

Mikasa.

[Okay, he'll try to be more tactful.]

[inhisdebt]

[And nothing more will be said from her because he can tell what she meant. That's all she asks for. So putting her hand on his shoulder as if saying, "It's okay"]

[canbebrave]

Thank you. [ Gosh Jean, why u gotta be so rude. ]

[neighvarily]

You're welcome. [He fixes her with the most insincere, shit-eating grin he can muster.]

[canbebrave]

It's polite to introduce yourself, you know.

[neighvarily]

Yeah. It is. And I'm sure you care a lot about that.

[neverfeltthatway]

[A couple minutes into her conversation, Mikasa will receive a text from Armin - something he's never done with her before, but he doesn't want to hang up on Sansa until he reaches her.]

I'm borrowing your 3dmg.

[inhisdebt]

I was wondering how long it would take for you to go for the gear.

Go to her.
