I'm in need of at least three people who are very sure what powers they have been given since arriving in New Amsterdam. It might be best if those powers are not of a destructive nature, but of course I'll take what I can get.

If we are strangers, all the better, but it's not necessary.

I could be of better use in New Tokyo if I can figure out what my power truly is, and I don't think that's going to happen alone.

you mean, that wolf? wait, you call them direwolves
so that was lady...

i'm not sure how it works
you being there but it being lady

she... you... i remember

[isherarmor]

It was.

I was in her mind. When she touched your hand that was me, but she was aware of it.

In the waking world my own body would be lying (or sitting) still somewhere, but that doesn't always seem to hold true in dreams.

[mercurio]

this whole dream stuff was weird, you're right
that's a pretty neat trick you can do though. is that normal?

it really helped by the way

[isherarmor]

It's not normal where I am from, no. I believe that most (likely all) of my brothers and my sister could do it as well.

Good. Even if it was only partly real, it's a comfort to know that. Are you all right? Some of us have woken to feel ...unwell.

[thanks sansa that's definitely something he wanted everyone to know about. he might as well go all in now.....]

It's a rare talent beyond the Wall, but not unknown. I fought another skinchanger on the Great Ranging.

[*killed, but whatever.]

[isherarmor]

[She made herself useful in Anatole's Search and Rescue by warging, and has been similarly open about it since then - well, when she had the ability, that is. Which only came when she'd fallen out the Moon Door (? not really) and into that world - she'd forgotten all about it upon returning back to the Vale. Almost everyone she's met since then has had, in her opinion, even stranger talents, most granted by their own worlds, to boot. sorry jon she didn't realize ;;;;]

So you've met others that can...

[!!!]

...a Wildling, then? What manner of animal was his companion?

[998]

[it would have made him look more a wildling to the men that fear him than he already does. he never quite lost that sense of unease. outside of the family he only ever told rey, because her power was similar.]

An eagle. It got my face. Ghost has scars too, beneath his fur.

[at least, he was raked as well. jon has no idea how his wounds look now that they've healed.]

[isherarmor]

[She'd assumed the scar on his face was a result of human battle and not human in bird, but she's curious about it now. It's not as if they'd sat and compared scars (he would surely win)- she's been silent about it a long while, considering how he'd arrived in Clock. Some wounds are best left unopened, be they old or new. Whatever he wished to tell, he would. It matters little here unless it matters to him.]

Lady likely does, too. Or did.

You won the fight?

[And in the spirit of sharing (also because it's fresh in her mind again due to the dreamscape and the unexpected appearance of that godsdamned ragebird):]

The scar above my lip was from an imp.

[998]

Aye.

[he'd killed the man's body, and he'd taken his revenge as a bird.]

A real imp?

[he had assumed she'd sustained it in king's landing, somehow.]

[isherarmor]

As real as anything in these places are, so yes. No one could see them, but that's the name several people called them by. They stitched our eyes and lips shut with wire if and when we slept.

It didn't get my eyes.

[It's just as horrible as it sounds, really. One star out of ten. (The bird was worse) But she adds that last part to make Jon (and herself) feel better.]

[998]

[that's horrible. is that what imps do? he'd never really known what they were. he feels as if he's received a physical blow.]

I should have cut it to pieces.

[isherarmor]

[She's not totally sure that all imps do such things, because hellworlds are ...special. And horrible, yes.]

I'm sure you would have, had you been able to catch it. You see why I am glad none of you were there with me. That was by far not the worst thing that happened to anyone, and I would not have withstood seeing such things happen to my family.

[Bad enough to see what she'd already truly seen, or to know of it through others. But the constant torment? It's a blessing she was there on her own. She doesn't mean to upset him, but she'd rather be honest about things that are on her mind than swallow them down.]

The dreams made me think of it again, and our talking, just now. I feel better that I told you. Please don't feel badly. I'm glad you weren't there. It was years ago. I know now that it wasn't my fault. After that place I found Clock. And you know the rest of that tale. It's a much better one.

[998]

[he has been able to gather that one of the worlds had been particularly bad, and sansa had been hurt there, but he hadn't known the details. it pains him that she was there at all, much less alone.]

I would rather I'd been there to shield you from the worst of it, and comfort you when I could not. You should never have been made to bear such things, much less alone. None of it was ever your fault.

[mercurio]

i feel so confused when you guys talk about your own world and lives
how do you remember all these places and names??

[prompto needs to watch game of thrones]

[998]

[prompto..........what...]

Your own world must have many places and people in it. You must remember what everything is called.

[mercurio]

that's what the internet is for you know

[998]

We didn't have that there. We did have Maesters who made us memorize the houses of the Seven Kingdoms, their sigils and their holdings.

[but what jon's just said is he went across the border for work and got in a fight with a local. you don't really need a maester's chain to follow along.]

[mercurio]

i had school but even then i only learned the stuff for tests
other than that my geography is pretty bad

maybe helps that there's only two big kingdoms and like, one or two smaller ones

idk iggy might be able to give you more insight if you're curious ??

anyway point is i'm bad at memorizing things lol

[998]

Our lessons were meant to teach us how to govern, or help govern, though there were times when it didn't feel that way. I am interested in learning about your world, but first I should like to learn a little more about this one.

Was the internet you had at home the same as the internet they have here?

And the Seven Kingdoms is one realm. We haven't spoken yet of any others. :)

[except for the lands beyond the wall, whose inhabitants would harshly resist that designation.]

[mercurio]

kingdoms, realms... what's the difference haha

i think the difference is that you guys get to learn all this important stuff cuz you gotta know it to rule and stuff like that, right? or even if you don't get to rule you gotta make good impressions and know who you're talking to

me? i just float by and hope i remember to say "sir" when i run into a police officer back home

the internet's kinda different but also kinda the same
it was always changing even back home

[mercurio]

other than grogginess, i feel really good actually
what about you?

jon's mentioned your brothers and sister a bit... big family with a lot of special talents, huh?

[isherarmor]

I ache deeply, but no part is worse than any other. I can't see anything on my skin, but it feels raw somehow. I'm a little sick to my stomach, but perhaps it's the travel, or the deepness of the sleep.

Or whatever caused it.

[Drugs? Magic? Who knows.]

I am glad to hear you're not ill.

He did? Well, now I know he likes you. What did he tell you?

[mercurio]

have you had someone check you up? the cold might also be affecting you
let me know if you need anything
like soup or something

well uh it was a lot about stories from when you guys where kids i guess
snowball fights and the like

[isherarmor]

You mean like a medic or a doctor? I don't think it's the cold, but it would be good sense to have someone take a look in case it's something else.

You know what would be of great help if you know where to find some? Mint or ginger tea. Or your company whilst delivering goods to those that need them. We could go together at least once.

There were many of them during the summer snows, but not enough. I'd give anything to have had more of those times. My sister was always ambushing me, and she'd goad my baby brother into helping her, though I don't suppose he needed much encouragement.

I'm much better at throwing snowballs now.

[mercurio]

i'll see what i can find re: the teas
but are you sure you're up to going out and delivering things? if you aren't feeling too well...

i don't want you to get too tired and feel worse you know

[he isn't saying no—he's just making sure that she knows what she's asking for.]

[and, out of all this talk about snow ball battles, prompto focuses on the one thing he never quite had:]

bet you miss them a ton now that we have so much snow around us
