[ there's not as much anonymity in an audio post as arya would like, but the text function has proven to be too troublesome for her to want to bother with for more than a minute or two. it's better than nothing, at least. ]

Do we have to stay in the houses? The ones with all the other people in our... [ thistotallyfeelslikeblasphemyorsomething ] "God houses"? Or are there other options?

[ she'd really rather live alone if she's honest, but failing that being a little closer to her family here won't hurt. that's all far too open to admit out loud though, so there's a few minutes of near silence - broken only by her quiet breathing and a little rustling as she fidgets in her seat - before she finally adds something: ]

....That's it. Bye.

[ and another silence follows before the feed finally cuts. technology is hard okay? ]

If you get a job and save up with some friends you can move out into a paid house. That's where I live now with a whole group of my friends from home.

voice.

[valardohaeris]

What kind of jobs are there?

[ she has basically no marketable skills, but that doesn't make arya any less enthusiastic in her response. she really doesn't want to live with strangers. ]

[freewoman]

I was wonderin' the same, girl. [Not that she takes any of these gods as hers.]

video;

[valardohaeris]

Apparently you need a job.

[ Problematic for the likes of ten year olds and wildlings alike, but she seems fiercely determined all the same. ]

Audio - BAD KIN!

[samantha_grey]

There's places to live. You'd have to pay unless you want to squat in an abandoned place, but in this weather... I wouldn't suggest the latter.

[Why private? Because of the 'squatting' suggestion. She suspected Arya might have considered it.]

I know I moved out myself, but you'll want work to afford one. Loki has the cheapest housing.

casually sneaking in there don't mind her

[valardohaeris]

[ she definitely appreciates the private, given that she doesn't think certain family members would be thrilled to hear her considering it an option after how long they've been separated. it's still taking a while for arya though, she has to adjust to those certain people being alive as well as here and especially when catelyn doesn't know -

it's complicated, basically. it always is. ]

I've slept in the cold before, [ not a lie exactly, but there's no denying she'd prefer a roof over her head given the option. ] I haven't worked before, not really. I could though.

voice.

[neverbedded]

I believe there are houses here in which you can stay with family or friends in different houses. However, you do have to pay for such a house.

[ Margaery doesn't recognize the voice of the younger Stark sister. After all, they've never met, and she's really only familiar with Sansa. She'll need some more information if she going to figure it out. ]

voice.

[valardohaeris]

[ she's the cooler stark obviously, margaery . ]

That's what people say. I don't know where the work is, though.

[Video]

[okamichild]

[ Ame shakes his head ] You don't have to stay in the God House. But you can't stay in another God House.

You have to find another place. Usually you need money for that.

[perma-voice]

[valardohaeris]

Why can't I stay in another House?

[ not to say that she wants to, but now that someone has said she can't of course she want to know why. ]

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

Oh, you're back.

[Yep, that's it. That's the show.]

voice;

[valardohaeris]

[ uh excause you loras ]

That's what people keep saying, but I don't remember being here in the first place.

[Video]

[5thchild]

You do not. If you have a bit of money, you are able to live somewhere else.

[such audio, many voice]

[valardohaeris]

People say there is work, but I don't know which pay enough to afford a whole house...

[ they don't really have rentals in winterfell you see ]

[beforethewar]

[He's not about to tell a little girl to get a job. Children should be children, allowed to play and go to school if they choose. It doesn't always happen that way, he knows that, but it's how it should be.]

You have family here, correct? Adult friends that have jobs who would be willing to move with you to another house? You could always pool money together for rent in another district?

sudden private happening up in here don't mind her

[valardohaeris]

....What if I don't want to live with them?

[ she doesn't really want to broach the topic with anyone, but better this man than an awkward conversation with one of her brothers, or her mother. better a stranger than someone who will look at her with sad eyes that are supposed to be dead. ]

[bossily]

[Whoever this is sounds young. Which means Clara's mama bear instincts are now in full gear. She hesitates in saying anything, but puts a slight smile on her face and tries to look reasonably reassuring and like she knows what she's talking about.]

Course there's other options. I think other people've mentioned earning money and moving out into the houses that are scattered about, but -

[She shrugs.]

If you have family or friends here, they might be able to help earn enough wages, while you go to school or find something else to occupy your time. There's all sorts of jobs here, I think. Something for everyone.

stubbornly voice sry clara :c :c

[valardohaeris]

They have a school here? [ She's spent a lot of time insisting she can work for herself already, but this is the first time someone's caught her interest with another option. ] What lessons are there?

[ She's no interest in the more traditional classes you see, but maybe there might be something a little more her style. They taught archery in Winterfell, why not here? ]

[curiousfortune]

You don't have to if you can find someone to stay with.

[valardohaeris]

I'm trying to live alone. [ Which makes it all a lot harder, of course. ] But I do not know how to earn the coin to do that.

audio

[womanfromacre]

If you've coin enough it's possible to choose somewhere else for your home. I chose to move from Freya to Odin to be with my family, we could not pass the day in one hall or the other without feeling out of place in any god's welcome hall but our own.

Where is it you seek to move to?

audio

[valardohaeris]

Away.

[ Is that descriptive enough? Probably not, but she's trying to be vague. She doesn't exactly want anyone overhearing and getting offended. ] Someone...said Loki is the most affordable district. Maybe there.

video;

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, no, you can move if you want! But not to other god houses, it makes you sick if you stay in those too long. You can rent a place in any district you like, though!

voice.

[tumbler]

I wonder, if there are rules indeed to keep us in our houses, what would the punishment be for their breaking, hm? What do you think?

voice.

[valardohaeris]

I think I'm going to try. [ ah, the stubborn determination of a headstrong child; isn't it beautiful. ] What are they going to do about it anyway?

[ can you hear the eyeroll in her voice, because it's definitely there. ]

audio;

[brokenwolf]

Arya? Is that you? [Screw all the other stuff. SIS! Your brother has missed you.]

audio;

[valardohaeris]

Bran? [ oh jesus christ it's reunion central here, she can't deal. DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE STUFF SHE SAID ABOUT WANTING TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOU ALL :| ] How long have you been here?!

[ she can't quite make herself say 'do you remember being dead too?' just yet. ]

[Video]

[ofthursday]

You may move out of the Welcome Halls if you desire and have means to pay for housing elsewhere. I am from Heimdall and live in Freyr district.

[audio]

[valardohaeris]

And what happens if I move somewhere else without paying? [ it's not a threat, honestly. she's just curious. ]

audio; wow COULD I BE ANY LATER hi marie

[dishonouring]

[ How many kids did Ned and Catelyn even have jfc at least this one isn't starting any wars. ]

You can grow ill if you stay in a house that is not your own for too long. [ It happens to him, sometimes. Babysitting Viserys is not an easy feat. ] You'll have to pay for new housing without the illness. [ Wait, you sound small. ] Or perhaps find someone to pay for you.

NOT AS LATE AS ME

[valardohaeris]

[ for now at least, sure ]

What kind of ill? [ she's weighing it up, seriously. not that she wants to stay with anyone else here much more than these strangers, but if push comes to shove she'll take a stark if alone isn't something she can work out. still, it's not ideal. ]

I'm going to pay for it myself, [ wow precocious much ] ...I just need to find work first.

voice; the latest late person to ever late

[bruxisms]

And why should such a thing, matter?

[ The girl sounded barely older than his daughter. ]

voice; late is the best i'm always late

[valardohaeris]

Because. [ that's... not an answer. she grumbles a little, but elaborates after a moment all the same. ] I don't want to live with strangers. I don't trust them.

[ there. that's half a shred of honesty, at least. ]
