The sound of breaking. (Broadcast)

WHO: Daenerys Targaryen
WHAT: She can only rant at walls for so long.
WHERE: A haphazard, dilapidated building.
WHEN: Either very late or very early. What is sleep?
NOTES: Madness. Targaryen madness.

(Her patience has worn thin. With each day, the Iron Throne is further and further from her grasp, her sons could be dead for all she knows and her friends and allies could be in the same position. All for what?

She flicks a lighter - a recent find - bringing forth a flame. Exhaling a foggy breath, she catches the pile of papers and wood she had collected at her feet on fire. The crackling of the flames can be heard, catching onto other tinder, before she speaks.)


Everyone is dead and my kingdom has turned to ash. (Though it cannot be seen, she is holding her fingers directly into the fire.) I am the last Dragon and here I am, stuck in a cage. I can't melt the bars with my breath or tear my foes to pieces with my teeth.

I wonder if any of this is real.
snikthatch: (look; into the dark)

[ It takes him a moment to realise that it's a real broadcast and not another bit of strangeness. He sounds pretty tired. ]

I dunno, darlin'. I've been thinkin' about it too and I can't work it out. Might be real. Might not. Figure all we can do is act like it matters.
snikthatch: (tech; leave a message)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-11 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, that stuff's just window dressin' for whatever's keepin' us here.
snikthatch: (weapon x; trace memories)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-12 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably for the best. Didn't work so well last time someone tried it.
snikthatch: (fighting; punch in)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-12 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes the best way to track somethin' is to sit and wait for it to come to you. As soon as whatever it is that's runnin' this place shows itself, I sure as hell ain't waitin' around before I sink my claws between its teeth.
snikthatch: (anger; snarl)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-13 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that depends what it wants. Not sure you oughta be thinkin' like bait, though.
snikthatch: (dark; wraith)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-16 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
You got any bright ideas?
snikthatch: (dark; watch it burn)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2019-07-16 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I ain't gonna stop ya. As long as you can walk out of it again, I guess.
ragnarsson: ([18.21] Watch the soul leave)

Something we both have in common. Both used to power and now powerless.

[In Ivar's case, he'd been the one to burn everything he touched. He had no one to blame at the end of the day when he lost it all. It had all been his own doing.]
ragnarsson: ([17.28] Plotting)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-15 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, but how to gain the power back? That is the real question. Power comes from force and force comes from having people behind you.
ragnarsson: ([20.6] Looking up)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-17 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
We could. But experience has taught me royalty often has trouble sharing with one another.

[Ivar would only ever trust King Harald as far as he could throw him and King Alfred not at all even though they'd been friends when they were younger.]
ragnarsson: ([17.9] Unbelievable)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-18 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps we can. I have managed to work with others in the past for a limited amount of time.

[Before he inevitably betrayed them, killed them, or drove them away with his usual bullshit.]
ragnarsson: ([5x3.12] You done fucked up)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-19 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm prepared to work with anyone so long as they allow me to keep on surviving.
ragnarsson: ([5x3.13] Blood glare)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-23 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Then I will listen to reason as long as you are willing to do the same.

[But with Ivar's volatile temperament, who can even say how long that will be?]
ragnarsson: ([20.16] This is only the start)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2019-07-26 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I don't think most of the people here are used to following rulers, but it might be time to organize ourselves a little bit better.

No, no, no, sorry-- Everyone isn't dead.

[ There's a furrow in her voice. ]

Here? Sorry. Or back - -
sorrypardonyesthankyou: (15)

[personal profile] sorrypardonyesthankyou 2019-07-15 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Pardon.

[She's...not especially good at comforting others. People don't usually come to her for that purpose.]

They, no, they might not be.
sorrypardonyesthankyou: (r21)

[personal profile] sorrypardonyesthankyou 2019-07-16 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then they're pardon, they're fighting. Yes-- If they're strong?
sorrypardonyesthankyou: (r22)

[personal profile] sorrypardonyesthankyou 2019-07-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
No one thank you is. [A pause.] Yes. But we still try.
