[ 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.

And there has been quite a lot of help offered, mostly in the way of computers, and these devices. I feel like there's a whole world of moving parts to comprehend beyond just those -- but perhaps I'm still understanding them.

[ She chuckles lightly with a kind smile. ] That's a pretty accurate description, "a whole world of moving parts". If it does something where you can't immediately see it, chances are it's a machine. More of those moving parts inside.

Moving parts and electricity. I'm told we run on a marginal amount of the latter ourselves, present in our flesh. Perhaps its only natural.

[ She raises her eyebrows a bit with a smile. ] You do learn fast if you already know about that. You'll be a regular renaissance woman at this rate.
no subject
Of a more trustworthy, useful kind than that of my homeworld, granted.

[ It's complicated. ]
For many, it's a superstition. Beyond their worlds, foreign, exotic. But it does exist, in ways I wouldn't call practical. It's too dangerous, too-- dark. Like something primal that should have been extinguished long ago.
But it's like the nanotechnology we have, that bring us back from death. There's magic that does the same, but for a much higher price.
no subject
Your world's magic can bring back the dead?
