[ The girl that appears now on the network is not incredibly competent with this technology, but nor would she publicly broadcast without having had a bit of practice beforehand. That flicker of uncertainty in her expression is stifled, and her smile is subtle but warm. ]
Hello, [ is said, with a twinge of a raised eyebrow. ] My name is Daenerys Stormborn, of the House Targaryen, and this next moon will mark the six months I've been here. I am not the first of my land to arrive -- many of you are already familiar with Ambassador Baelish.
And over the past few months, more and more of my people have come through the Porter. We represent different lands, different values, different politics, but in this world, we find ourselves with more similarities than we'd ever imagine sharing. If any of you of Westeros or Essos are viewing this [ because gods know it took her a while ] and we've yet to meet, I'd very much like to rectify that.
There are more than just us, too, who have likewise entered this land and felt like strangers to its technology, its ways. If you feel more at home in a world of horses and candles and swords, I'd like to know you too, whether you're new or have been here for sometime. We face a conflict between wishing to recall always the worlds from which we hail, and represent them proudly, while achieving a level of integration that ensures we have a voice. Perhaps there is a solution to find, between all of us.
Likewise, [ she adds, ] if you are entirely at home here but perhaps would be willing to act as a guide, then please do step forward with your name and your skills. You would want also to be a patient sort of person, but I assure you, we learn quickly.

private, video.
Do you mean the privacy settings? So that none else but your intended recipient can see your messages?
let's perma-these settings, eh
The filters are useful but there is more than this. A good hacker can always find a way.
You should learn ways to protect personal information and being found, ensure your money is safe. Ways to guard your information so you are not crippled by things like the blackouts. How to avoid making yourself vulnerable with what you reveal.
∞
Yes. Yes, I think I should learn those things.
[ Six months! And she had only just recently started putting her faith in these machines, only to learn this now. ]
Are such crimes common?
no subject
Yes. There are a lot of scams that target those less proficient with technology. Usually the elderly and vulnerable. People from worlds not so dependent on technology might fall into that category.
no subject
Trickery, then. Thieves. I suppose it does stand to reason that where there lies opportunity, there will be those who try to seize.
Would you be willing? To help me-- refine my understanding?
no subject
maybe if she changes the random kaleidoscope shakes to be cartoon panda floating around the screen. Everyone likes panda panda faces. )
I am better with computers than with people. You have drawn attention to your face. People may watch who is helping you.
( But she isn't saying no, just yet. She should. Perhaps she will. )
I would suggest starting with bank assets. Your funds were far too easily accessible.
( And, as proof, she offers up the sum of Daenerys Stormborn's funds. I mean, it's a speechbubble for one of the pandas, but whatever. )
no subject
That is no mere deception, that is--
[ --worse than she imagined. ]
Gold, you can protect. You can guard it, seal it behind doors of iron. How does one protect such wealth when it's abstracted into mere numbers?
no subject
( Probably are, in fact, because MK does not socialise. )
Vigilance is important. Some hackers benefit off a lack of attentiveness. They skim small amounts under charges that look legitimate at a close glance. There is always more that can be done. Hackers evolve, so must your security.

[ Her tone isn't brimming with queenly command, but it has a firmness. She's done her time at the negotiator's table.
But she eases off, judging it wise not to domineer. ]
I would be grateful, and if you require recompense, it can be arranged.
no subject
Payment would be good.
What city are you in?
no subject
[ And other abandoned spots of wilderness along the eastern seaboard, but that's not relevant in this moment. ]
Payment you will have.
[ If she deems this person trustworthy, anyway, and not attempting to trick her as she's just been warned, but she's willing to pledge coin for now. ]
no subject
( There is a pause as she thinks. There is a cafe she knows, big enough for not standing but a dark, hidden away seeming place, with low lighting and graffiti decorating the walls inside and stained glass windows that face onto brick walls of surrounding alleyways. She nods, and sends Daenerys Stormborn the address. )
This is a place in Nonah. Wednesday, 8pm. Come alone.
no subject
Taking Drogon with her won't count. ]
Very well. You'll find me there, and then.
no subject
( A SUCCESSFUL SET OF DEMANDS.
oh, mk. dany, ur the reason she is the way she is. )
Do you use a laptop? If not, I bring my own.
