IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS SOME VERSION OF COMMUNICATION, AKIN TO MESSAGES RECEIVED VIA RAVEN. I CANNOT YET UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, NOR CAN I UNDERSTAND HOW I AM EXPECTED TO SO ACCURATELY PRESS MY FINGERS TO SUCH PAINFULLY SMALL LETTERS ON THIS THING CALLED A "KEY BOARD."

[Ned is part of the Old Dads club; he has accidentally turned on his caps lock and has absolutely no idea how to turn it off, nor does he have any social precedent for understanding how hostile this makes him look.]

I AM TOLD THAT I AM IN A CITY CALLED WYVER, A NAME AS FOREIGN TO ME AS THE REST OF THIS IS. THE LOCALS HERE ARE NOT INCREDIBLY FORTHCOMING WITH ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, AND AS SUCH, ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT OFFER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT PROVIDE.

-- EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

Threaded | Flat

I assure you it gets much easier. At least, in regards to technology, I can't speak at all for living here.

What does a Hand Of The King do?

[ he was prepared for Lord Stark, at least slightly, after seeing him aboard the station. ]

THIS IS LORD STANNIS BARATHEON. AND IT IS GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU ARRIVED SAFELY, LORD STARK. I HAVE BEEN IN WYVER FOR SOME TIME, AND AM CURRENTLY STUDYING THE LOCAL DRAGONS. SHOULD YOU REQUIRE INFORMATION, I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT I CAN.

[ you're a haircut and a dad joke away from being a Charming, Ned.]

How about we start with teaching you how to turn off capslock so that you don't look so aggressive while you're hunting for information?

[Jessica Jones was two bottles into settling in on Wyver, and looking through her device to try to figure out what the fuck was going on.

Dadslock was making her cringe, and after reading all of that, all she had to provide to the poor man was a very terrible and very 2017 millennial question.]

Hand of the king? Is there an Ass of the king? Or other body part of the king? Do you guys draw out of a hat to find out who gets to be what part of the king? King's Balls?

Lord Stark?

You may find the voice or video more to your liking. I too was not so familiar with this odd device when I arrived, and I find these to be more comforting than the letters.

Seven hells.

[ That's all, honestly. Just that. Ned may be worse at this than Victarion and Stannis combined...Except he's worse, in that Theon can deal with his uncle and Stannis. He could do without Ned being here at all. ]

[ she drops the device when she reads the message.

and even after she picks it up again, it takes her several minutes to manage to type out six unassuming letters. ]

Father?

[He switches to video because he'd rather not deal with that text.]

What did the Natha tell you when you woke up? The Natha being the people who would have given you the device you are using to send messages, and would have delivered you to Wyver.

[Knowing what Eddard does know will be a good start.]

[ Oh look, another titled person. Guess who's about to hear his title... a lot!

My Lord, what sort of information are you looking for? I might be able to help. I might not know much, but what I do know is yours.

[Oh.

She makes the assumption that this man isn't from a world with much technology. It's not a hard one to make, really. Let it not be said that she's not helpful.]

A pleasure to meet you, Lord Stark. My name is Diana Cavendish.
It's my understanding that you may be able to enlarge the text on screen (that is, the part that displays everything) on your device.
This may allow you to touch the keys better.

Also, you seem to have all capital letters turned on. There should be a button labeled "Caps Lock" to the left. If you press it, you can talk like this.

[She's hardly a tech wizard, but she at least can do this much.]

[Ryuji is going to get to the heart of this matter quick as heck.]

Dude, you don't need to shout? Also, you'll get used to the keyboard - just practice. And turn off the capslock. It makes you seem angry af

[ oohhhhh dear, this guy sounds fun. ]

SALUTATIONS EDDARD STARK, LORD OF WINTERFELL, WARDEN OF THE NORTH, HAND OF THE KING

A/S/L

[ Gods help him, he's going to laugh himself silly over this. ]

You must know Stannis.

[It still didn't feel real to see him, even after speaking on station. The shock hadn't worn off and the mire of guilt, relief and pain hadn't gone away. He didn't know where to begin, just as much at a loss for words as before.

All he could do and turn to was follow the basic rituals and niceties that could act as a shield.]

Do you need help finding your way to our home?

oh my god theres more of you 😃😃😃😃😃

wait do you mean ravens as in actual fucking birds
holy crap you're ancient

okay protip #1: nobody signs their posts, that's what your username is for

protip #2: there's a button on your keyboard that says caps lock or has an arrow pointing up, press it
typing in all caps just looks like you're yelling

Muscles adapt. You'll learn to type more quickly.

[But hey, she's not always petty: Rosalind turns on video after a moment, all red hair and blue eyes.]

I've heard a great deal about you, Lord Stark. Your daughter speaks highly of you.
