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.

[998]

You shouldn't feel bad. I'd be heatsick in hours if we were shoveling out a desert. :) We mean to get food on our way back to the safe house, I'll make sure one of us brings you back soup with noodles. The pantry must be down to cricket paste and seaweed flakes by now.

[forcevisions]

I don't mind the seaweed. But I won't say no to noodles. I'll pay you back when you get here.
