[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.

Oh. That helps.

[ and if it probably complicates things for Jon too, that goes unmentioned.]

What about magic? A lot of people here practice it.

I heard there were some that practice magic, but I only knew one person who could. She is in stasis now.

[Gods, but if Tink were here this might be easier.]

Do you know any?

I've never done a tracking spell on my own before, but I could look into it. I've talked to refugees who are familiar with magic.

[ she has some skills outside of combat and tracking.]

If your wolf is able to get a scent, that might be faster to start out with.

[ two days, though. she sighs, wondering how much time might actually matter here.]

What are the chances of us finding Stannis alive?

What about a locating spell to find Stannis?

[They need to find him first before he is killed or even bleeds out.]

Once I can convince someone to tell me where he was living.

[He hates to imagine what the state of him will be.]

I don't know. He likes to prolong torture, so there is a chance but I don't know what was done to him.

He'd have to be alive, we'd have to have something of his, and even then there aren't any guarantees.

[ didn't he just tell her - ]

Don't you know someone who was living with him?

[ if prolonged torture is their best chance, the odds of finding him in one piece seem slim. ]

I don't have anything of his.

[Or even knows where he lives.]

I don't know. He might have someone living with him, but not many men find him to be...[How to put this?] good company?

Ramsay is taunting others on this feed. He doesn't have many options left. It means that he won't have anything holding him back now.

I meant -

[ nevermind, she's guessing Ramsay's living arrangements were complicated at best.]

It means anyone who he'd taunt is in danger, too. Your friends need to stay someplace safe.

He already has one. [Though he wouldn't call Theon a friend.] He will focus on my sister as well.

[Emma is at least keeping him calm and rational, something he needs as his stress and frustration begin to mount.]

Where are you?

[A silent plea for her presence and help.]

Is she somewhere safe?

[ she's done this enough times to know what to prioritize here. he has family who went back to stasis; protecting anyone awake comes first.]

On my way to the palace, that's where we're meeting, right?

She is, but she will do what she can to lure him out. Sansa isn't afraid of him.

It is. I'm in the training yard. I could use your help organizing everyone that has volunteered to help.

If she's going to do that, does she have someone with her?

[ strength in numbers, right? after everything Jon's been through with people going back to stasis, she doesn't want him to have to risk anyone else.]

I'll do whatever you need me to, Jon.

She has her direwolf.

[Which might not mean much to those who didn't understand the connection between wolf and master, but it was comforting to hear for him.]

Thank you, Emma.

[A beat.]

I should have killed him when he first woke up.

I'm guessing a direwolf is as if not more scary than a regular wolf?

[ she knows Jon wouldn't leave his sister with anyone he wouldn't trust, it's just the first time she's heard of one.]

Anytime.

[ she's no stranger to regrets, but at the same time, Emma really can't let him carry this one.]

Hey, don't blame yourself. You know that killing someone straight out of stasis would have been a disaster for all of us, your family included. He wasn't acting out until now. And now that he has, we won't let him get away with it.

It's larger than a wolf, sometimes bigger than a man.

[Though Sansa is taller than Jon and Ghost just barely reached his shoulder. So maybe it was only impressive to him?]

You're right. We were never told what the Natha would let us do to anyone like this. [It could have lead to consequences.] Would he even stay dead?

What should I do when I catch him?

I don't know if he would, you might have to settle for keeping him imprisoned.

[ not that she's supporting murder, but if this man thinks it's fine to go around flaying people, they need to be prepared to protect themselves. she'd rather see Jon and his sister safe than worry about the guy who has Stannis.]

Do what you think is best, Jon. Whatever that is. I'm guessing that you and your family know who he is and what he's capable of. You'll know what to do.

I don't know how I could. We have nowhere to put him, unless I can convince the Royal Guard to do it.

[But that was something to think about once he found Ramsay. He could make an appeal and show the results of Ramsay's madness, it would likely be enough. But somehow, it seemed like only a temporary solution.]

Thank you. I will see you in a moment?

We can find a place to put him if they won't, or a way to keep him down. The first step is capturing him.

[ somehow, she assumes there are people here who'd be creative about finding a way to lock Ramsay up. as long as they can stop him, they can figure out the rest later.]

Yeah, I'm not far. It's going to be okay.
