[ The backdrop is only the wall of her room in House Hel and in place of a missing crown her hair is braided back from her face. ]

I am Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen. I traveled with many of you to the front at Alfheim, though this world remembers my face from a time now lost to me. If we once had dealings in the past I would speak with you of them.

[ Better than bumping into each and every person one at a time, as she's been doing for over a week now. A beat, and she continues. ]

Among you are men and women that claim the Seven Kingdoms their home, to whom my family name and titles are more familiar. Whether you hail from Westeros or the Free Cities and beyond - I make only two simple requests. [ Many of them have already come forward, but there is at least one false name that doesn't match up and one Kingslayer that hasn't shown his face. ] To friends, I ask that you tell me of your time in Asgard. [ Her back and shoulders remain straight, her gaze hardening just a fraction. ] To all others, [ oathbreakers and pretenders alike ] convince me that our cause in this world is truly a common one.

[ And that no blood needs to be spilled on these foreign streets. Their feuds can resume back home where they can be settled and not forgotten.

Or just stay out of her way. Khaleesi out. ]

[Sigh.] Here's a thought: if you have doubts, don't get involved, don't ask us to convince you of anything. I'm not a warmonger, I don't intend to alter that now.

[exiling]

Which country in my world do you hail from, exactly?

[Video]

[true_renaissance_man]

You said Westeros?

[This is a country whose name is familiar to him!]

Whom do you consider friends and whom do you consider 'others'? We are all forced to work together here otherwise... it is said the very worlds we come from would be destroyed. They all might be allies now?

[exiling]

There are those here that have betrayed my family in the past, it is them I refer to - they know who they are. [ See everything about Joffrey Baratheon's post. A shake of her head. ] I have no desire to stand in the way of anyone that would fight for their world and without hesitation would stand with Asgard again for the sake of my own, but I have doubts that even the threat of certain destruction is enough to give some of these [ traitors ] people pause. This is the chance I offer them to explain their intentions.

[ If it's true. She's been forced to believe the total annihilation of all worlds idea up to this point, it's not a bluff she can call just yet. ]

Hello. We have met before, though you don't remember me. I'm Kaworu Nagisa.

It's said that all the traveler's worlds are connected to this one; if this world dies, so would yours. However, those are words from the gods. If you wish to believe them or not, it's something for you to decide by yourself.

[exiling]

[ The decision is basically made. ]

I may not remember you from before - but at Alfheim you were with the healers, correct? [ He looks familiar, the grey hair and red eyes stand out even if they never spoke. ]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

What has you doubting?

[exiling]

The same doubts many share, it seems. That there is no sure proof, other than the word of the ones that stole us away. [ A quirk of her eyebrow. ] But even that is no defense enough for sitting idle, and it was not my intention to demand answers from others that feel the same.

*video*

[lt_blade]

[The feed shows her in the Citadel. Dany caught her just after a training session.]

Here's to the direct approach.

We already talked when you arrived here*, but for a run down, we went on a camping trip with some of the other visitors here. You didn't drink the tea they served and I did-it wasn't poison, but it had me hallucinate of a hawk flying around.

We also discussed you possibly enrolling in the school here and I helped you shop around for a small pistol.

[She thinks a moment.]

*

[exiling]

[ Wow what. Her brow is very very furrowed, Sonya. ]

A pistol? [ Start with that, we'll eventually get to the hallucinations. ]

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, you came back! Hello again! I'm Nepeta, we spoke a few times before.

[exiling]

[ She hesitates a second before responding. Excuse her for a second, Nepeta, this it the first visibly non-human encounter she's had. ]

Are you from this world, Nepeta? [ No wait, this is a Traveler only line. But the greyish skin is throwing her off. ]

[Video]

[snugglesjugs]

It might be odd, but the fact they were able to bring us here shows that at least everyone's world is connected to this one.

Though after being here for so long and coming to know what both side are capable fo, I do believe what the gods claim.

[exiling]

[ Where Nepeta gave her a shock, this one brings her concern. Do the gods truly need children for their army? ]

These giants have proven themselves a greater evil, that much I have seen for myself. [ It would be difficult not to after her time in the tents. She lets out a breath. ] The rest - for now I can only judge by the records and the words of others. [ A beat. ] How long have you been kept in this city?

[uncledaddy]

[ It's a while before Jaime works up the will to do more than skim the post, and a time further still before he decides upon saying anything at all. It would be far easier just to ignore the blasted thing -- and really, he is tempted. Still, some stronger pull draws his attention back to her. That pale hair, those bright eyes. ]

The Kingdoms are not about us now, and their quarrels are nothing that I've wish to import. I would sooner be alone here.

Believe what you will. I've little desire to convince you, and less to ever speak of this in person.

[exiling]

[ Threats are what she expected from a murderer, threats could show the Travelers the monster within their ranks.

This response, however, has her taken aback. The reply takes a minute or two longer than the others, for her to calm herself and not say something in public that she might regret. ]

Is it only under your own name that you are so reluctant to speak of the past? Shall I call you Jothos Hill instead?

[ He spoke of her mother, gave respect to her proper titles, flattered her while she tended to his wounds. Would she have put a scalpel in his throat if she had known at the time? She would surely do it now. ]

[emgoldened]

[Conveniently missing Jaime's comment. Yes.]

You forgot khaleesi of the Dothraki.

[Translation: slut of the savages. He's trying though!]

[exiling]

[ She forgets nothing and he receives no immediate reply

sister's in the middle of business so sorry go bother Jorah ]

[dishonouring]

Be careful, khaleesi. These people can tell you many things with no proof that what they say is the truth.

[ You can't trust them is what he would prefer to say but you know. Still trying to work his way back into her good graces slowly. ]

text; private

[exiling]

[ Thanks mom jk she still likes her mom, or you know, would if she had known her. ]

I have heard this advice before.

[ Try again. ]

[dyingisnotdead]

I don't know if I would say it is a worthy fight. Or even if it is a common one.

But we have little choice in it. And so we fight, with the gifts we have been given, for a chance to go home.

Or to simply survive.

[Loras, well. Sometimes it is a struggle for him, here. A mix of emotions, with no true allies from home. Targaryen, Tyrell--the Houses were once close. But with his sister on the throne, now, Daenerys was a direct threat to his sister.

A sister who was not here. And he did not believe that she was as mad as other Targs.

Yet. So speaking in peace, is welcome.]

[exiling]

Then I am glad we are in agreement.

[ Not that she trusts him any more than before, but she has to start somewhere.

She quickly sends another message, this one made private; ]

I have seen Stiles Stilinski's creature. More kitten than dragon, the flame it breathes barely comparable to the same gift given to Travelers. [ She wrinkles her nose. If Loras wants to continue bickering with the boy, that's up to him, but the dragon is no threat to the city in her eyes. ]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Your majesty! Oh, it's splendid to see you again! We used to know one another!

[exiling]

[ Far too many children have been brought here. Her expression softens. ]

It is Alice? [ The bracelet is useful for this. ]

video.

[sirenae]

This is the first time we've met, so while I can't call you anything beyond an acquaintance, rest assured, I'm not your enemy.

[ Doubts have insistently accrued in number and intensity since her arrival, but it's only recently culminated in the realization that even written works could prove to be duplicitous. With the influx of contradicting information, working out a rationale had to mean more than blindly acquiescing to clearly biased factions at face-value. ]

How can we know anything for certain here? Records can be forged, personal accounts can be altered. It's a matter of perspective. Given the circumstances, there's no reliable standard for truth here, so we have to rely on our own beliefs.

We were chosen for one sole reason, but that doesn't mean we're united by this cause. As far as convincing you of anything goes, I believe you're more than capable of coming to a conclusion on your own.

[exiling]

It is our own beliefs we must rely on, true, and the gods have chosen to build their army out of old enemies. If they did not hope to unite us, then they play games with us. [ The enemy of my enemy is my friend, sure, only this goes too far for Dany's liking. The woman calls her capable, but the doubts continue to eat at her no matter what she does. ] Though I am glad to hear that I have one less enemy. [ These are weary words, bordering on self-effacing. This may as well be the Meereenese court. ]

[voice]

[needsnoheadsman]

[His fingers hover over his bracelet for a second. She's not about to trust him, he knows that--their meeting is proof enough of that much. Still, it's addressed to people from the Seven Kingdoms, people from their world, and he might as well answer with what truths he can give.]

What would you have me say, my lady, to convince you that I only mean to fight to keep our world safe, and this one as well?

video; private

[exiling]

[ My lady. Her face is a neutral mask.

She dislikes the audio function for this. ]

That you do not bend knee to the Usurper's son, to start. [ And for it to be true. Enemy of my enemy, even that's not enough to trust. Winter is upon them and the dogs are tearing each other apart for the meat in Westeros. ] Across the narrow sea the news has spread that it was Eddard Stark poisoned the false king. [ Or his wife, or skewered by a great beast of a boar, but that's not the reaction she needs to see. ]

[Video]

[stilledsurgeon]

[Oh hi, Dany. He's not exactly sure what he is to her. They've only met once.]

Well...yeah, I suppose we don't have proof that they're telling the truth about our worlds.

But hey, there's still what we've seen with our own eyes. If we can't go home, we might as well do something.

[exiling]

[ Hawkeye's skill is appreciated, he is (probably) not an enemy. ]

There is that. [ Her shoulders slacken. ] Have you gotten enough rest since our return? [ They all needed it, part of why she has put off making this little proclamation for so long. ]

video;

[bratking]

So you are here. Your fool of a brother has already told me as much.

[His meeting with Viserys was also his first encounter with a Targaryen in general, and unfortunately Joffrey is a stubborn boy whose opinions gleaned from first impressions are very rarely changed.]

I hope you're not expecting a truce.

video;

[exiling]

[ This is what she expected from the Kingslayer. The monsters across the sea never had faces, and this one is only a boy. She does not kill children.

And so they grow into men eager for my blood. ]

I would not trust you to keep to one, if not for the stakes. [ Is he that dense? Of course he is, his father was a traitorous wretch. ] But I understand that you are only a young boy and war is not the place for you. Run along and find somewhere else to play.

[ video ]

[iamaplague]

Hey there, Daenerys! Good to see you've got track of how to use this thing. As I told you before, I didn't talk much to you last time you were here, but I think you had quite a few friends.

[exiling]

I have - but only with your help, John Mitchell. [ Thank the gods you didn't end up being Robert Baratheon. ] Many have contacted me already. [ A coy smile. ] And I met your Beth. [ Before the battle, around when she first arrived. She is a very nice girl. ]

( video )

[doveprincess]

[It can't be... Is it truly the dragon queen everyone in King's Landing was talking about?]

L-Lady Daenerys... I... I cannot believe me eyes... Your name and your House are indeed familiar to me. [Your dad killed her grandfather and her Uncle Brandon. And apparently your brother kidnapped her aunt.]

Many stories about you have reached King's Landing... Is it true you have dragons?

[exiling]

[ The name attached to this message gives her pause. Another Stark, but a girl. One Robb Stark would wish to protect?

The thought puts a bad taste in her mouth. Too much time spent with the Shavepate. ]

I do. [ Just not here. ] What other stories do they tell?

[ She smiles for the girl, something she wouldn't afford the other Stark. Tell her more. Do they say she baths in the blood of hundreds of virgins, as they do in Slaver's Bay? ]

[bloodypocket]

I wouldn't be sure to extend my welcome to your return, Daenerys Targaryen. We have spoken before, long ago.

Though I ask, are you so willing to considering allying yourself with what answers you receive?

[exiling]

Most have been sound answers, made by those who feel strongly for defending Asgard, its people, and their own homes. [ So yes, for the most part. ] Do you add your voice to theirs?
