video | first winter

[ 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.]

Thank you for your advice, kind Lady. I have found one familiar face for now, and I think that will suffice. [ It will have to. Everyone else is strangers- some very kind, but strangers nonetheless. ]

Do you really believe so? [ That startles her- she's never worked before, unless you count being an Investigator. But if this place encourages her to try, she will try. ] That is a relief to hear, that I may have some chance. I was most worried.

Not many have that much luck, I'm glad. The name is Bridget, actually. It's been a very long time since anyone has called me kind but... that is a story for a different time.

[And she really is, no hint of sarcasm or spite here. WHY SO CUTE???]

There tends to be a wide range of opportunities for any sort of skill set as long as one puts in the effort. I believe there's an employment office somewhere with a current listing of offered jobs if a person doesn't have the confidence or funding to start something on their own. I'm not sure if Fai is still hiring but his cafe is a good place to start if you don't mind getting stuck with a cute nickname.

[Several minutes after her other response, there's a sudden new response.]

You know Armin? I'm glad. He deserves as many familiar faces as he can get in this place. There is only a little bit of warning when a person arrives, usually a pair of wet feet and many questions. But there is nothing to show when a person leaves except when they no longer respond to direct transmissions. It would be wise to consider every hour here your last even after months or years.

Yes, we traveled together for a length of time. ... Thank you for your kind advice, my Lady. We-- I, have always known our time together is not to be of extended length. [ That's thanks to a visit from the future, something of the duo, only Sansa remembers. ] I have vowed to the Gods to cherish every moment we have. To be reunited, now, in such a place...

It truly is a blessing.
