001. video.

[ 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.

Well, I'm quite sure that you've gotten accustomed to the internet by now - you know, the network. Oh, are you on social media yet? Rumblr, bwitter, any of those...?

Oh, Grinterest! Well, you must have mastered those tutorials, then, because your hair looks completely gorgeous. It's utterly ridiculous.

[ That's said too cheerily and warmly to possibly bear the least hint of irony. Kitty is just that blunt. ]

Anyway - rumblr's got a little bit of that, but it's more focused on activism and politics and the like, rather than fashion, like Grinterest is. Bwitter is - oh, it's all about glib commentary, really, but it's a really good way to put your name out there if you'd like. If that's something you're into.

YES. Extremely strong. And also, strong hair game generally. Any time my hair gets past my shoulders I just cut it all off in a fit of rage.

Have you seen my face? Short hair is adorable on me, not butch. Anyway, though, yes, completely graceful.

[ Kitty laughs outright at that, and then tips her head to the side in an amused half-bow. ]

That's awfully kind of you to say. Thank you.

[ And then, bright-eyed - ]

And yes, I've got one. I'm very active on rumblr. Here, I'll send you a link. Take a look when you've got a chance.

[ And she does so. If Danaerys goes to look at it, her rumblr is...well. It's not exactly strident - her manner is a bit too thoughtful and philosophical for it to be strident - but it is passionate. Passionate about a lot of things. Democracy. The value of education. The corrupting role of capitalism in modern society. The importance of mental health treatment over punishment. Water rights. The stupidity of the Cold War. The stupidity of war in general. Racism. Sexism. Classism. Any -ism. She has a lot to say on every topic, and does innumerable fundraisers to support the causes she champions. ]

Oh, very much so. You can talk to real people. - Oh, not that we're not real people, but - You know what I mean. Non-imPorts.

Oh - politics, more than anything else. Have you got any interest in politics?
