first wildling ❄ ( video )

[freewoman]

Oi, [Comes the booming voice of one redhead, trying to understand this thing on her wrist. For a moment she shakes her wrist before looking back down.]

You lot, if y'can see me. [She's just looking down scornfully. Wildlings don't even understand Southern technology and you want to throw this at her.]

I have a few choice words for your gods, but first. Jon Snow, if y'be here, you best reply to me here. Don't think I've forgot about you, just 'cuz I've wound up here. You know nothing. [She has some hope that if these gods could choose her, he'd be here, too. Then the Crows wouldn't matter (not that they did to begin with). But neither would the Wall nor her people.]

You other lot, not bein' Jon Snow, I'd ask the same as I did them girls I talked to. What keeps you from goin' outside the city? Where I'm from we do as we please, the Free Folk. No god cares 'bout what we do as men. Or women. Why fight their war? I fought my own war because some Southern king decided years ago he'd put my people behind some great wall. I decided to be a spearwife to lodge me own spear up every Crow whose crossed into our land's ass. [That didn't exactly happen, but semantics.]

It was my lands though. If y'can't fight for what's yours, maybe you never deserved it. Don't need no named god tellin' me that.

[Hello, Ygritte. Here's some dude with a (real) crow on his shoulder.]

Nothing keeps us, but our powers don't work outside the city and we can't use the bracelet. It's kinda bothersome so people prefer to stay.

And I can't speak for everyone, but they say all of our worlds will be destroyed if they lose the war. I like my world and there's already a maniac trying to destroy it back home, I don't other things threatening it. So I'm not taking the chance.

[freewoman]

Them powers attached to the god? [Huh, interesting.] Didn't have no powers back home.

[Although the threat to home worlds is a bit more viable. She sulks.] If they win, does everyone return home?

What makes you think we're all fighting their war? I go where I want, and do what I want. My masters aren't here.

[allbloodyhail]

No one's making you do anything, luv. Even here - kidnapped and all - you can do as you please.

[freewoman]

Good. [She's still grumbly.]

I choose my own wars.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Oh shit, I actually like you.

[It may not seem like the most sincere compliment, given that he's laughing his ass off as he delivers it, but he means every word. She's got attitude to spare, and she's using to question things, not just rant uselessly about destroying everyone (which, to be fair, he did when he came. But he's not long on memory when it comes to his own shortcomings.)

Just let him gather himself for a second here.]

Okay, first off - leave the city all you want, just make sure you're armed to the teeth and maybe bring someone to watch your back. You said it, we're in a war, and the other side's got spies, scouts, assassin ambushes, all the usual shit waiting for us. Sounds like you're used to weapons, though, so you'll have it easier than some of us when we first got here.

As for fighting the war? It gets me back home to the war that actually matters quicker. That's it.

[freewoman]

Aye, many men like me. Good for you. [But she is smirking, most of her aggression out now. Besides he's giving her enough information that for once, she's keeping her mouth closed and learning.]

Fightin' has never been my problem. [It's good to know though.] What's out there?

[bruxisms]

[ He mislikes this device, yet he finds himself... with little and less else to do at the moment. The terms "Free Folk" and "Jon Snow", however most certainly catch his eye.

Jon Snow had mentioned a woman that he had broken his vows with, though he cannot recall her name just yet. If this is the one... ]

And how do you know the Lord Commander, wilding?

[ He does not yet mention that the "Free Folk" are slowly finding themselves bending the knee. ]

video;

[freewoman]

[She kind of scoffs. She doesn't know any Crows but Jon Snow. Now that he really is one.]

I don't know no Lord Commander. [But she stares at him long and hard.] And who are you to ask anything of me? Some fancy lord? Come to tell me I'm beneath you, cuz I'm from above the Wall.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, leaving the city isn't the problem. Getting off this world is. Universe, even.

[Video]

[freewoman]

What'd y'mean universe? These lands? [She comes from a very simple time, Doctor.]

[video]

[needsnoheadsman]

You know my brother?

[...right. Focus on that instead of everything else. A+ on your priorities there, Robb.

He's going to have a Talk with Jon later.]

[video]

[freewoman]

[She sizes up the man on the screen. Her discussion isn't going well, but this lord seems less concerned with her words, and she can answer his questions. Though she does so in her own fashion.

Of course.]

I dare say I know'im in ways you never could. [Unless you want to anger the gods. Her brows raise, and Ygritte gives him a suggestive look.]

Lord Stark.

[becauseichooseto]

We're kidnapped, not enslaved. Do as you please. And well, I suppose your efforts would be somewhat in vain if your land ceased to exist, so there you have your reason.

[freewoman]

[According to her conversation with grumpy lobster up there, there might not be lands or people to go back to. If she could.]

And y'believe our captors. Funny. People who steal me usually lie t'me, too.

[gayagenda]

I didn't think they had British hicks until right this moment.

[That's her commentary on the matter.]

[freewoman]

[Oh, it's going to be like that.]

Yer words might sting a bit more, girl, if I cared what they meant.

Video

[larps]

[Charlie almost wishes that she would forget about this Jon Snow. But on to the important stuff.]

I guess you've heard the whole 'saving this world protects ours' speech by now. If it helps, there's plenty of things that could use a good spear up the ass here.

Video

[freewoman]

[But that tongue of his...]

Aye, they've said it enough. As if gods who steal can't lie. But I'd like t'know more 'bout who y'need me to shove a spear up their ass.

[etoaktagamat]

These gods do not care. The tone you are using is pointless. I have tried talking to them many times and have gotten no place.

[freewoman]

They sound like gods well enough. [Southerners probably have the same issue. Though at least Wildlings are taught about trees and weirwoods. It helps a little.]

Are they here? You spoke with'em?

video;

[bratking]

I've got no intention of fighting this war, but that doesn't mean we ought to resort to savagery.

video;

[freewoman]

[You did not use the 's' word. No, you did not.]

And a boy knows how to fight?

video; private

[exiling]

[ Both eyebrows are raised. Enough people are already answering her questions, so she will try to ask a few - ]

You come from beyond the Wall? A wildling? [ Viserys taught her these words. ]

video; private

[freewoman]

[She bristles slightly at the terminology, but the girl doesn't seem rude, just curious. Not like Ygritte wants to be on show, but she does earn the attention when she went shouting after Jon Snow.]

Aye. Though we choose t'call ourselves the Free Folk. Another from below the Wall then?

[It seems of the few people from her lands, she is actually the only one that is from her own land.]

[Video (sort of)]

[snowcrow]

[Ygritte will have to forgive his tardiness. He's been putting off actually doing anything with the bracelet that isn't pulling it off and throwing it away -- something he's 'not allowed' to do, since he's told it will turn him into the same state as those who look close to the wights.

As it is, the screen is held far away from him, only catching the corner of his face because SORCERY.]

Ygritte.

[That was it. One word. He knew well enough to keep his tongue until he knew her mood -- which seemed to be bordering on foul.]

[Video]

[freewoman]

[At first she isn't sure if what she's seeing is true. She squints at the half image. In this they could relate though. Ygritte is only keeping her bracelet on because she was told to do otherwise would leave her as affected as the grey people. It's too cruel a fate, so she leaves it on.

His confirms it, and for however foul she seems, it nearly melts off her. She still has a tough exterior, but he's one of the few that's cracked into her. She is happy to see him, but one talk with Stannis and the overwhelming emotions of knowing he's there, too, has more of a hurt look in her eyes.]

Am I t'call you Lord Commander Snow now?

video;

[dishonouring]

[ Huh. Well, uh, you are definitely a Wildling, aren't you Ygritte? He hasn't had to concern himself with Wildlings for quite some time. Honestly, he's been in the free cities for so long, he can't say her 'do what you please' mentality is difficult to agree with.

But he does know that Ygritte is clearly obnoxious. In the most patient tone he can muster: ]

You need not fight their war, but your lands are in danger as well. If this city falls, as do the lands beyond the Wall.

video;

[freewoman]

[His calm tone is actually a surprise, and by now she's mellowed somewhat. Sure some replies have infuriated her, but mostly people are saying the same thing.]

My lands have been in danger for some time. There's nothing I can do for'em. [She takes a defeatist tone. They were fleeing, leaving their home lands to follow Mance, to head south. It all seems for naught now. And the long night hasn't even come, yet. What they do here won't affect that. The Others are still coming.]

video;

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, you can go out if you like! It's pretty exciting out there, oh yes. But for living day to day it's nicer in here and I like it quite a lot, that's why I don't go purrmanently.

video;

[freewoman]

Would y'be willin' t'show me around? I can give ya a knife for her time. [Best way to make friends.]

video;

[pushesgently]

Many fight for those they care about in this land. Others fight because they believe the war endangers the one they come from. [In his case, it's a little of both.] But you aren't obligated. The gods would likely prefer you believe otherwise, but we are not all soldiers.

video;

[freewoman]

[That is almost an insult, and she scrunches her face up.]

I am a soldier, as good as any. I know how to fight. I fight for what is mine though. No one else's.

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

Of course that bastard would know a wilding.

[Loras is charming.

Sometimes.]

video;

[freewoman]

O' course a southerner knows nothing. [An insult generally reserved for said bastard, but she's sticking up for her man.]
