[ HE KNOWS LOTS OF THINGS. ]

It's been a thousands years and no one's figured out how it works?

[998]

[he!!! knows!!!!!!! nothing!!!!!]

No. It's been thousands of years since anyone's seen them at all.

[forcevisions]

[ no one warned rey of that ]

Do you know what they want from the living?

[998]

Only to kill us, as far as anyone could ever tell.

[forcevisions]

Maybe someone here will have ideas on how it can be done--and how it can be stopped.

[998]

Someone who remembers them from the Dawn Age? They might have trouble with the network. :)

[forcevisions]

YOU have trouble with the network.

[ he's in no position to make fun of people without technology!! ]

But I meant more along the lines of, you know, other people who've seen something similar in their own galaxy.

[998]

I can read and write. Nobody could, before the Andals came.

I've known people to speak of their world's undead--to be undead--but the white walkers don't fit any of their patterns.

[forcevisions]

Right. In the place where you met me?
The clock?

[ She still doesn't really have a frame of reference for it. It's this odd foreign thing that she can barely imagine, and therefore often sidesteps considering. ]

[998]

Aye. My friend Mal told me much, and she didn't know what to make of the White Walkers.

[forcevisions]

I wish I could do more to help.

If I had my power, and if I could see one ...

[ The Force might have some insight. But she can't. ]

[998]

[aww...rey...that's sweet. don't do it.]

No. Wherever they go they drain the world around them of warmth and beauty, leaving only the chill of death. Not...a natural death. I can't explain it. When they are near you forget how it is to have ever felt happy or loved, or warm. And I am only a skinchanger. With your powers it would be worse. Like--when Sansa tried to warg a monster in the dream. Only it wanted her out, and I'm not sure that the White Walkers would let you go.

[forcevisions]

I'm stronger than you think.

[998]

I know you're strong. That's why we can't afford to lose you.

[forcevisions]

[ She doesn't much like that answer because it demonstrates either pessimism--a firm belief in the futility of the fight, the likelihood of loss--or placating. But it's not worth arguing about since it's all just wishing anyway.

She changes the subject. ]

Did you sew those things on your cooltalk?

[998]

[he just doesn't want his best friend on a suicide mission!! also he's p sure uncle benjen died looking for white walkers so.]

No haha they're Sansa's. :)

[forcevisions]

They're very pretty. But when that's all you post, it makes it look like they're yours.

[998]

I wrote they were hers in the boxes. I want people to look at her cooltalk.

[forcevisions]

If yours is only reposts of hers, it won't bring any new people to hers.

[998]

I don't know what else to post.

Are you feeling any better?

[forcevisions]

A little.

[ This is not technically a lie. She'd already been caught in it by Kylo, so she doesn't try to overstate it with Jon. ]

I went to a doctor. It's not anything serious. Just have to burn the fever out.

[998]

[a fever??? how did this escalate he brought soup]

They must have willow bark pills here. They'll bring the fever down.

[forcevisions]

Don't worry, I took what they gave me. It's nothing serious.

[998]

Aye, but fevers hurt. :( Can I bring you anything? Tea or broth?

[forcevisions]

You're very kind.
But I feel bad enough that I came all this way and can't help for a few days. :( I'd feel worse if you took any more time away from offering relief just to worry about me.
