When people disappear, is there really nothing we can do to get them back?

If we can be brought here once, I don't believe there is no control over who comes back. I need to speak to someone who can bring people back here.

[freewoman]

I was told Jon was here before. they might come back

[valardohaeris]

Might isn't good enough. It's too dangerous there for them to stay.

[needsnoheadsman]

They'll come back. [He's clinging on to hope here, that's probably obvious enough, but with everything that's happened, it's all he can do.] But when and if they'll remember is a different matter entirely.

[valardohaeris]

I don't want her to have to live it. [ because at least sansa is still alive. at least jon is safe, away from them all on the wall. their mother? all she can go back to is a slit throat and a body dumped in the river.] There has to be something we can do.

[digophelia]

I am afraid not; once they're gone, it doesn't seem we have any way of bringing them back again.

[valardohaeris]

Not even the Gods? This is important.

[ it already feels like she's running out of time to help them. ]

[sicarius]

[Ah, this is painful. He remembers waking and finding Caterina gone a while ago. His voice is apologetic.]

...the only ones who can bring people here, or return them, are the gods. Sometimes they remember their stay here. Other times, they do not.

audio;

[valardohaeris]

Will they bring them back, if I ask? [ And part of her knows the answer, of course, because she isn't stupid. If they could all get their own way, Arya's whole family would be here - living and dead - and all the Lannisters would be left in Westeros to die horribly. ] It's not safe, they can't just leave people there.

[tonsofpun]

Is your world that shitty?

Yeesh.

Voice;

[valardohaeris]

It wasn't always. [ have the most casual of shrugs, ellie. it's totally no big deal.

...apart from the part where it really, really is, but she's very intently choosing to ignore that for now. ] It's...dangerous now, though. Really dangerous.

[ especially if you so happen to be a stark ]

[Oh, no. It's bad enough when someone like himself has lost someone, but it being a child makes it much worse, even if he doesn't know what the lost person is going home to.]

I'm afraid not. They seem to only have the power to scoop people up from various universes, and not the power to pick and choose who they pick up or how long they keep their grip.

There's still hope, I suppose, as much as we don't dare to hope to have our loved ones back. There's a chance.

[Video]

[valardohaeris]

And if it's not safe at home? I thought the point of being here was to save the worlds. [ she's getting frustrated, there's no denying that, and frustration is leading to a lot of misplaced anger - but for the most part she's trying to keep it under control. there's no sense in shouting at strangers yet. ] ...I don't want to save it if I have to go back and they're not okay.

[okamichild]

Only the Gods can bring people back, but I don't think they can specifically choose who does and doesn't.

[Video]

[valardohaeris]

Then they're not much use, are they.

[ it probably isn't her greatest move, bad-mouthing gods on their own network, but it's not like cursing gods has ever had any ramifications before. ]

video;

[familyissues]

You can try to ask the gods, but in the end they have final say who they decide to bring in. We don't know who they've chosen until the new people start showing up in the castle again.

video;

[valardohaeris]

I just- [ she's getting frustrated now - mostly because she's getting exactly the answers that she expected to receive, and it's just as hard to be proved right as it is wrong sometimes. ] They're safer here. I know not everyone's home is dangerous, but mine is. Shouldn't that matter to the gods?

[comeonthensexy]

They have enough power to bring people here, but not to choose. They are, however, more likely to show up if they've already been here before.

[Text]

[valardohaeris]

So that means there is a chance they might still come back?

[text]

[fuckingwolverine]

me too

[Not necessarily for people who've come and left, but for people who haven't come at all.

And after looking at some of the other threads:]

gods?

[text]

[valardohaeris]

the people who brought us here. they gave us our powers, but they can't do anything useful.

[airborn]

You'll have to talk to the gods if you want to ask them. They're the only ones who can do it.

video

[valardohaeris]

Which are the nicest?

[ this stranger - child, but then again so is she - seems to know what she's talking about finally, making arya the most interested she's seemed this whole time. ]

video

[subecho]

I... do not think you are in luck, friend.

video

[valardohaeris]

No. [ she's actually starting to look a little defeated, shoulders slumped and eyes downcast as she replies. ] Gods are...not as powerful as I thought.

[dyingisnotdead]

You shouldn't hope for that, Arya.

[valardohaeris]

Do you know what they are going back to? Do you know what happens to my mother?

[pushesgently]

It seems to be up to the whims of the gods.

[valardohaeris]

Then the gods are just as cruel here as in my world.

[hyakugo]

According to the gods, there really is no way to control when someone is pulled here or sent back.

[valardohaeris]

so it just happens? how can they not control their own magic?

[grimmig]

Hello.

private text;

[valardohaeris]

[ wow jim that's not at all creepy ]

Hello? What do you want?

text.

[espouses]

I came back almost instantly. I don't know if you can summon anyone. Magic's not really my thing.

text.

[valardohaeris]

It isn't mine either. Until I came here, magic were old fairy tales.

[bestestfurrend]

:33 < well, the gods CAN control it i think
:33 < but i dont know that asking them will help at all

[valardohaeris]

not even if i ask nicely?

[ it doesn't happen very often, but it can happen. ]

video.

[conquering]

Arya.

[ she doesn't pity her, not at all. she feels for her because arthur is gone and she knows what it feels like to want someone back. especially because there is nothing good waiting at the end of the path in camelot. ]

will you meet with me?

video.

[valardohaeris]

[ She's tempted to say i>no just to be petulant, but at the end of the day it won't get her very far. So she purses her lips, looking just as sullen as she feels, but nods slowly. ]

Fine. [ too rude. she sighs, then tries again. ] Yes. Where?

voice;

[brokenwolf]

They always leave...

Everyone always leaves.

[Grumpy kid is grumpy.]

voice;

[valardohaeris]

They didn't want to this time. [ she responds just as sullenly, because why be mature when you can be grumpy right? ] It was the Gods.

[womanfromacre]

If there was one with such power here, I do not think you would be alone seeking their help.

I know you don't want to hear that there is nothing to be done to bring them back, but I do not think there is anything we can do.
