Hello? My name is Sansa Stark.

[ Right now the video is zoomed in to show Sansa from the shoulders up but it's easy enough to pick up on the fact that she is outside somewhere and there are people around her. There are soft murmurs and the occasional noises that sound like someone taking pictures. She is doing her best to ignore it all, though, focusing on the camera with a tense expression. ]

If anyone out there knows anything about flying, I could use your help.

[ She almost hates to ask for help because she has been doing her best to fly under the radar (haha). Except it seems that she can't anymore and it becomes clear why when she turns to someone so she can hand them her device. When she takes a few steps back, one can see the wings stretching from her back. Magnificent wings that are so dark they appear black but one could almost pick up on the shimmers of red as well.

Glancing over her shoulder, she watches as they stretch enough that the small crowd that has gathered around her needs to move back. Focusing back on the camera, she frowns. ]

I don't know how to control them.

[ Good lord. That's seems like a terribly alarming thing to go through. But Kitty Jones always does look on the bright side: ]

Those are awfully pretty, aren't they? Your wings, I mean. A little iridescent there when the light hits them.

[ Anyway. ]

I know how to fly a bit.

[ The situation is definitely less than ideal. She had known what could happen but just knowing is definitely different from experiencing it. Especially while out running errands and being surrounded by strangers.

She is gracious enough to nod and even smile at the compliment. ]

I suppose they are. I can't really get a good look at them yet, though.

[ Then she looks relieved. ]

Really? I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Do you have wings as well?

[ As a dragon who had to learn first hand how to fly, Aurican can sympathize. ]

I can teach.

The best way to control them is not try to control them, but to accept them as part of you.

Re: video

[turned_to_steel]

[ Yes, having them just 'pop up' out of nowhere has been a bit startling. ]

Can you? I would appreciate it.

I...so like another pair of arms?

[carbonfrozen]

That's a different kind of flying from what I'm used to.

[turned_to_steel]

I figured that's why I should clarify. [ She tilts her head. ] What sort of flying are you used to?

[thevictoriandetective]

Fascinating.

And no, I don't have anything useful to contribute other than that.

[turned_to_steel]

Thank you.

Oh, well. I still appreciate the compliment. [ She looks sideways as she takes her device back from the person holds it. ]

People keep trying to touch them.

[dejerate]

I have wings, sometimes. But....ah, not quite like that. You can actually fly with them?

[He's not sure if he does, with his own. But then his are some sort of grotesque combination of wings, tainted from the typical angelic white feather appearance from the influence of his demon. And he hasn't exactly lost control here, unless one counts the dream thing earlier.]

[turned_to_steel]

Can you have them appear whenever you want?

[ She looks back at her wings before giving a slow shake of her head. ]

I don't know if I can. A part of me hopes so but another part of me is kind of nervous about the idea.

[illuminescent]

Oh! But they are quite beautiful. Has anyone come to assist?

[turned_to_steel]

Thank you, Lucy. [ She offers a smile. ] A couple of people have offered over the device but no one in person yet. I don't know how many people have wings like this.

[ex_clobbers559]

Oh, those are pretty!

( Kara smiles at her, warm and reassuring. garbed in the good old red and blue, she can respond with greater ease. )

I haven't got wings, but I can fly. You must be part of Jon's family, right? He's a fiend of mine.

I'll help as best I can. It'll be all right.

[turned_to_steel]

Thank you.

[ While the wings make her nervous, she has to admit they are pretty. She smiles in return, nodding. ]

I am. [ The mention of Jon helps. ] He is my brother.

Any aid you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. Which city are you in?

[lempereur]

They're gorgeous! You look like an angel.

[ Truly. He is enraptured. ]

But I know nothing of flight. I may be able to catch you, though, if things go wrong.

[ Or have his Persona do it. ]

[turned_to_steel]

Thank you.

[ She ducks her head a little as she smiles. ]

Really? Even from a great height? How so?

I have experience flying, though not with wings, I fear. But I would think they'll function much like any other muscle; you will need to exercise them, and proceed carefully at first, like a child taking its first steps.

[turned_to_steel]

That seems to be the general response so far beyond those who don't know how to fly at all.

[ Which doesn't make her feel very secure at all but she hides it well. ]

What sort of exercises would you suggest?

video;

[itssacrifice]

Wow, it looks like you have a lot to work with.

[He grins.]

I don't have wings, but I do have a lot of years of practice in flying. I'm sure it's a bit different but we can work out the kinks as we go along. Sound good?

[turned_to_steel]

Yes, I'm not sure but they are quite big. Definitely longer than I am.

[ She presses her lips together, nodding. ]

Yes, any sort of help would be appreciated. What sort of flying do you have experience in?

[onlyvengeance]

[ To say Cat is surprised is something of an understatement. She is shocked. Just when you've seen everything, or so you think.... ]

Sansa....

[ For a moment, she can't say much at all. ]

Has anything like this happened before?

...I can bring you home. [ Those pesky powers... ]

[turned_to_steel]

[ It's okay, Mother, to say that Sansa had been shocked too is putting it rather mildly. For a moment, she looks almost sheepish when she sees her mother responding to her video. ]

No. [ She presses her lips together. ] I knew I should have them but this is the first time they've appeared.

That...might be a good idea.

[song_of_ice]

[His response is immediate, not even bothering to wait until the camera comes into focus.]

Where are you?

Re: video;

[turned_to_steel]

[ She looks relieved to see him even though she knows he is in worry mode. ]

I'm in the city right now, surrounded by people.

( video )

[jeaniegrey]

[ This is just a little... surreal to see this girl who looks so much like her. But, while not anything of the telepathic sort that she might be able to assist more with, she still feels the need to reach out... how can she resist when it's almost as if she's talking to herself?

Chewing on her lower lip for a moment, Jean smiles a little. ]

They're really pretty. I just... wish I could be of more help.

Re: ( video )

[turned_to_steel]

[ It is definitely a little more than surreal to see the young woman who looks so much like Sansa staring back at her. She opens her mouth and closes it again, trying to think of what to say while a bunch of questions bubble up as well.

She doesn't ask them quite yet, though, and simply smiles back. ]

Thank you. I think I like them too even though I'm not sure how to feel about them being attached to me. As for the other, it's okay, I know that most people won't be able to help me.

[ A moment's pause. ] What is your name?
