[Just ignore how unimposing that username is compared to the message. The thought doesn't occur to him in the face of greater concerns. With Stannis missing for over two days and a potential madman on the loose, usernames, Wyver and Olympia conflicts fall short in his mind. He's had to deal with this matter before and lost his brother, he wasn't going to let others die because of Ramsay Bolton.]

There is a man that has been assuming an identity publicly, you might know him as "Willem Rivers", a bastard from Westeros. He might appear charming and friendly, but this man is dangerous. His real name is Ramsay Bolton and committed a number of crimes in my world, including murder and flaying. Don't trust him and be on your guard. Now that he is being backed into a corner, he will become a mad dog and lash out at anyone who he feels slighted him.

Those in the royal guard, I appeal to you to help me find and detain him. He might have a new victim, Stannis Baratheon. Anyone that might have experience in combat or tracking, meet me in the training yard in front of the Palace of Olympia.

[ Good heavens. ]

Flaying. My word. What strange tastes people have.

[ Byerly tilts his head slightly to the side. ]

What's the fellow look like? For those of us who'd like to keep our luminous skin intact.

[song_of_ice]

He's medium height with dark hair and dark eyes. He's wiry and lean.

[He's not an artist, so describing is difficult, but he gives as good a run down of Ramsay as he can beyond hair and eyes.]

If I could sketch, I would have something for you.

[He probably should find someone to do that for him.]

[shashka]

[ well... this is certainly something. ]

I've heard about "Ramsay Bolton" before. What goes around comes around.

[ he's not going to say he's cheering for Sansa to murder the guy after what she said about him, but... it was definitely her revenge to take. ]

voice

[song_of_ice]

We need to find him first.

[Then he'd let Sansa deal with him, as he had before.]

Who told you?

[triplerose]

[ Well that's ... Something. Loras feels a twinge of embarrassment followed by a vague hollowness, because this is typical Westeros. You think you can trust someone and then it turns out they're terrible. When he manages to find his words, his reply is simple enough.]

I'm afraid I cannot help you in Olympia, but should he find his way into Wyver, I will do what I can.

video; private

[song_of_ice]

Aye, that's better. He might find his way to Wyver and look for a place to hide there.

We need men to be on the lookout for him there.

video; un: maximus

[ininhuman]

That's just wonderful.

[ Sarcasm. There's nothing good about looking like a man who's being publicly wanted for flaying. ]

I suppose I'll just stay inside for the foreseeable future.

video;

[song_of_ice]

[It still makes him do a doubletake to see Maximus.]

Aye, that might be for the best. I don't want you be mistaken for the wrong man.

Be on your guard though.

[Hello facetwin, here's Ramsay doing a terrible imitation of your accent.]

I suppose I'll just stay inside for the foreseeable future.

[ Likely, they've seen each other in passing at the Palace. ]

Peggy Carter, [ she says, by way of introduction. ] I'm with the Guard. Have you known about this Bolton's presence here before now?

[ aka if he was this bloody dangerous, why wait until now to bring it up? Flaying? Christ. ]

video

[song_of_ice]

I have. He was married to my sister once. I thought he would only remain a threat to her and to me.

[He made a mistake, he knew that.]

He had more reason to lash out at us than anyone else, but now his secret is out. It changes what he'll do.

[reek]

People are such fools.

[ Spoken with a laugh despite knowing that he’s going to be viewed as one of the most foolish of them, but at least he can save face by not being the only fool in an entire sea of them. Ramsay is one as well. It’s his own fault that this should come to light. He got too bold. ]

He could have named himself as one of the old gods and you would have all believed it without ever having seen his face.

voice;

[song_of_ice]

[He will let Theon laugh and say what he wants. A part of him had worried how badly Ramsay had manipulated and tormented Theon recently. Being able to hear from him didn't ease away those concerns, but it at least told Jon that Theon was alive.]

You think no one was wise to the game he was playing?

[Jon might not play games and have little time for them, but he learned quickly what sort of man Ramsay was. Warning bells went off the very first time he heard the name "Willem Rivers."

A surge of irritation bubbled up. Theon knew. He knew the truth this whole time and did nothing. Just like before.]

You knew where he was and you didn't tell anyone.

[nineteenfortyfive]

It should also be noted he has a bloody giant dog with him, or at least he did when I last saw him in person.

[Every interaction with "Williem" has been flashing through her mind and making her skin crawl. She should have known something was off with the young man, but any oddities she thought came from a life of a farm boy awkwardly trying to settle in this world.]

video

[song_of_ice]

I have seen the dog. It's not as large as Ghost.

[He doesn't want it to come to that, but he trusts his wolf to take down the hound, if need be. His main concern is his sister and Stannis, he wasn't about to lose another person he cared about.]

Have you seen Sansa?

video: un: swan, private.

[sheriffing]

I'll be there.

What about Stannis, how long has it been since anyone's heard from him?

video;

[song_of_ice]

Two days. He told me when he was going to meet with "Willem."

I need to find where Ramsay lives.

voice; un: sharp

[veneries]

[Despite everything, Ramsay's thrilled to hear Jon call him Bolton.



Also fuck, he left Stannis at home while he popped out for some shopping. Is there time to go back and finish him off?]

What? You're not going to offer me one on one combat, Snow?

voice;

[song_of_ice]

I offered it to you once and you turned me down. If you want to spare everyone the trouble of hunting you down like a dog, then you could face me as you were too afraid to do before.

[Ghost is already on the hunt. It's only a matter of time.]

[competing]

[ speaking of embarrassing usernames tho...




anyway, lance can't help but respond, ears prickling at the sound of "royal guard." he's slow to speak though, working around the words he struggles for. ]

...Is Stannis okay? [ he doesn't know who that is, but it seems the most pressing thing to him right now.

after for everything else— ]

I'm, uh. I'm not in the Royal Guard anymore. I used to be. [ but that's unimportant. ] What does he look like? If he ever shows up in Wyver... we can be on the lookout for him.

[song_of_ice]

I don't know.

[He wishes he could answer yes or no. If he wasn't dead, then something worse was happening.]

It doesn't matter if you are in it anymore or not. You are in Wyver and we need a group to look for him there. You have experience with the guard, at least.

[He gives a brief rundown of Ramsay's features. It's not very poetic and direct.]

There is a man named Loras Tyrell in Wyver, he and a few others will be organizing efforts to find him.

[Video]

[kaleorbekaled]

[Kale doesn't look very imposing, but like some others here, there's more to her than meets the eye.]

I have combat training and a better sense of smell than humans. I'll help. He doesn't sound like a person who should be allowed to remain free.

[Video]

[song_of_ice]

[He knows better than to judge a person by their size. Arya was small, but she was fierce.]

I need something of his to give you his scent. I have been trying to find where he stayed.

I would be glad for you help when I do.

[Video] un: watercouncil

[bentbloodline]

[Well, crap. He actually gets along with Stannis and Stannis had pledged to help him with his project to assist refugees.]

I'll help. I led a task force against domestic terrorists in my homeworld once, so I certainly have combat experience. I also know Stannis. Is there some reason why you believe this Ramsay Bolton would target Stannis specifically?

[Video]

[song_of_ice]

Stannis went to meet with a man named "Willem Rivers", a man I knew to be Ramsay Bolton. He hasn't returned from that meeting.

[Why didn't he go too? Gods, he should have insisted.]

Do you have tracking skills?

[learned_to_die]

[Ned's expression is .. rather displeased at this information, and he finds that there is so much he feels the need to ask that it takes him a second to gather and organize his thoughts properly. His mouth and jaw tighten slightly as he thinks.]

I'd noticed Stannis' absence, but hadn't expected Ramsay to be involved. [Ned's had many feelings about the Boltons, but they'd been loyal bannermen of the Starks for long enough that he'd come to trust them. It horrifies him, to think that this is what's happened.] You know the land far better than I could hope to; I bow to your ability to lead, and I am willing to assist.

[song_of_ice]

[Gods, where to even begin with this? His father needed to know what sort of monster Ramsay was. But he couldn't bring to words what he had done to Sansa or what Roose Bolton had done to Robb and Lady Catelyn.

The only thing he could tell him was the image that hadn't left him since Ramsay had come out of stasis.]

He killed Rickon.

[There is more emotion in his voice than he wanted his father to hear, but it's hard to separate himself from that. It would be his lasting shame and would rest on his conscience until he died.]

I... [It's intimidating to be put into a leadership position by his father, but he doesn't have time to buckle under that pressure.] I can't find where he was staying. I thought Ghost could track him. I'm going to have to find some other way to hunt for him.

I don't know either man involved,
but if you need help tracking someone, I can offer assistance. I have some military training.

I could use the help. I can't find where he has been staying and the person who could tell me is missing.

Stannis Baratheon lives.

You are the human called Snow, correct?

How do you know he is still alive?

I'm part of the royal guard and I'm happy to help. I've got a lot of combat experience and I have a couple of tricks up my sleeves too. [ she winks at him. ] I'll be sure to meet with you in a tick.

But... question! You sound like you're from a suuuuper old time period. Kinda remind me of someone else... how many of you are here?

video;

[song_of_ice]

Good. [He needed tricks. His approach barely worked before when he last faced Ramsay. He wouldn't make that mistake again.] We may need to divide into search parties. I can't find where he was staying, so this will be a more extensive search.

Eight? [He thinks that is the right number.] Who do I remind you of?

video; un: lady

[unprays]

Lord Stannis? Ramsay's got him?

[ this is incredibly bad news, though not something she is particularly surprised to hear — horrified, yes, but never surprised. there's nothing Ramsay isn't capable of. ]

You have to find him, Jon. We can't let anyone else be hurt. [ she feels a similar sense of responsibility as Jon does, she's sure. they knew Ramsay was here, knew what he could do... perhaps, had they spoken out before this, they could have prevented this.

(and yet, she thinks, there is no other way to ever truly prevent Ramsay from doing anything than killing him. before then, Ramsay will do whatever he wants.) ]

I hope you have a plan. He'll be hiding, after this. He's too cowardly to face you like a man should, he'll run away instead. [ #callout

that is 1000 percent there not for Jon, but for Ramsay. she knows he'll see this. ]

video; un: sharp

[veneries]

[It's hard to bite down the anger. While he can see what she's doing, he knows she's not wrong.

His smile when he answers is half snarl.] Trying to be clever, Sansa?
