[ Video starts off with the image of the saddest looking, middle-aged man you can ever think of. He's already beginning to bald, and his beard is a thin, sad thing. Over all, he looks like a man who had seen some things.

He's also holding the camera upside down. ]

Is this how it works?

[ Someone off camera said, "Yeah, you had it turned on, so you can say anything now."

The man coughed. ]

'ullo. I'm Eddison Tollett. I'm from Westeros.

[ The other voice added, "hey, if you make mentions of your job from home . . . " and it became fainter, but the man named Edd seemed to understand his directions. He nodded in the way that one is still confused but managed to follow some of the logic. ]

Hash tag Night's Watch.

[ There's a pause. He looks up beyond the camera, confused. ]

So that makes it easier to find?

[ "No, you have to type it." Edd now looks a annoyed in a morose tone. ]

How in the seven hells do you people write anything with these tiny things? I can barely pick the fleas off my coat, never mind make tiny letters with tiny words.

[ The messages here are smaller than the scrolls on ravens, and that's something. ]

How do I type it?

[ The anonymous helper told him to press the button to end the recording. Instead, poor Edd sent it to the network instead. ]

[Hey buddy, have another middle-aged man peering at you.]

Mm, yeah, the widdly letters are fucking awful, aren't they.

[Alfie's always here for bitching about touchscreen keypads.]

You can use abbreviations to make it quicker, or use the function with the name of voice to text. Very useful. Does just what it sounds like it does.

[ There's no video of the sad man, just his chest. He's wearing a black sweater. ]

How did that man came to here? I only ended it.

[ He turns to his "helper." ]

People are talking to me about that video.

[ What the fuck does he do? The helper said that he must have uploaded it by accident, so everyone can see it. ]

Well thanks for telling me of pressing the right buttons, then!

[If he happens to look at the screen, Alfie gives him and his buddy a little wave.]

All the imPorts can see this, now; I won't be the only one saying hello.

[ There is…a whole lot here to comment on. Finally, someone with facial hair just as sad as Theon’s, for one. That’s a pretty big deal. Then there's Westeros, Night's Watch, and....hash tag.

But Theon only smirks, enjoying poor Edd’s misfortune a bit more than he should. He knows little of House Tollett, and they're not even a Northern house, so at least Edd is no one truly recognizable ]

You’d likely be better off if no one found this at all.

[ House Tollett is a southern house in the Vale. Not that it mattered. Edd came from a branch so poor the smallfolk are richer than his family. ]

But people did, did they? That's my luck. The one thing I want to put away, it's all there to see. The things I show off, no one cares.

[ Edd, you sad sack of shit. Theon chuckles, because how can he not? At least Edd is self aware. ]

Do you generally have a great deal of luck on the Wall?

[pop_of_color]

Dude, that was fucking painful to watch. Painful.

Also you should probably get someone to do something about that flea problem.

[audio]

[secondplacescrow]

It's not my fault I have bad advice on these blighted things.

[pop_of_color]

That's why you don't get advice from people on shit. You do that shit yourself. Problem solved.

I think you need someone a little more helpful than who you had for this.

Try having it the other way round when you want to make a video.

[Well, since being here, she's heard people say hash tag 'whatever'. It sounded just as painful coming from them as it did from Eddison.]

Re: Video

[secondplacescrow]

Aye. And when I told him his advice is gone, he's gone as well. My newfound respect for the man shrinks as his appearance is over the horizon.

It's probably easier to show in person than trying to explain through the network.

What's Night's watch?

[video]

[secondplacescrow]

An order. To guard a giant wall of ice against what's further north. Its been standing for about eight thousand years, if I remember my history right.

[video]

[ghoulking]

wall of ice? What's beyond it?

[knaval]

Hang on-- Eddioson Toilet?

[close enough]

[secondplacescrow]

Tollett. There's no I in Tollett. Not that it matters - a man is to give up the family holdings when he's a man of the Night's Watch. Hadn't been to my family in years.

Re: video

[knaval]

I don't-- are you saying it wrong? All I'm hearing is you saying Toilet over and over again.

The good news is that your video works. You definitely need more practice though.

[secondplacescrow]

What if I don't want to practice?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Then you won't get any better at it.

You put your fingertips on the little letters! It's quite easy, unless you have very large fingers, I suppose. Do you, darling?

Give a man a quill and paper and he'll write faster, if he can write at all.

Some devices use a stylus, but they're dreadfully behind the times.

Pickin' fleas off your coat. Sure says a lot about you.

The Night's Watch were always poor in coin, it's true. And I lived in harder times before I joined.
