I understand it is something of a tradition here, at least for some, to reflect on reasons for gratitude at this time of year. My fellow imPorts, what are you thankful for?

I'm grateful for the chance to have seen the world as it was once... although I'm from a version of Earth, it's become quite dire in my time.

Re: text;

[onlyvengeance]

As I suspect you know, the place I am from can be very unstable. Here, it seems much less changeable. For that I am grateful.

Re: text;

[alcheregis]

Would you change that about your world, if you could?

Re: text;

[onlyvengeance]

I would. I would like to keep my children safe.

Re: text;

[alcheregis]

Some of them have been here, have they not?

Re: text;

[onlyvengeance]

Yes. My daughters have disappeared. But we have Robb, our oldest. And Jon, my husband's oldest.

What is it you believe I should be grateful for?

Re: text;

[onlyvengeance]

You still have your life.

[ You can bet he's laughing. ]

Perhaps I not longer want it.

[onlyvengeance]

A life is easily lost. Be careful what you wish for.

Re: text;

[reek]

Should be simple enough, then.

Perhaps you'll smile for once in your life, Lady Stark.

[ Wow, someone is bold today. ]

is2g Theon

[onlyvengeance]

I have smiled plenty in my life.
Are you so eager to die, then?

this edgelord amirite

[reek]

That is news to me. I've not seen it. Not once.

Do you know of the Bastard of Bolton?

[ Perhaps it's worth saying. Ned saw his memories of Winterfell, and he was forced to explain. May as well. ]

gonna punch u right in the face theo. i promise that will still hurt

[onlyvengeance]

Yours is not a face to inspire smiles, Greyjoy.

I know that Roose Bolton has a bastard son. What of him? she ain't real fond of Roose either tbh

he dares u

[reek]

Do you know anything else of him? What he's capable of?

Re: he is a dumb

[onlyvengeance]

He is like to be a traitor. like his father.

[reek]

Aye.

[ Like Roose, like Theon. They're all traitors. ]

And more adept at flaying.

[onlyvengeance]

[ actual garbage humans, all. ]

Is there a reason you speak of him? aka why you making me talk about him huh

[reek]

He's what awaits me should I return home. I know I deserve punishment for what I've done, but

[ His text cuts off abruptly, and there's a long pause as he contemplates how to go about explaining this. He isn't after pity, particularly not Catelyn Stark's pity. He just wants someone to understand why he's suddenly grown so flippant on the topic of death. ]

It's a fate worse than death.

[onlyvengeance]

What do you know of fates worse than death, Theon? Have you lost your children, the other half of your heart? Do you have any space in your heart for anyone other than yourself?

[reek]

[ Her response enrages him. He chose to reveal this to her and this is his thanks. No one seems to believe how much betraying Robb truly did hurt him or how much he regrets it, or how the guilt rips him to shreds even now.

I GUESS YOU WON'T BE ADOPTING HIM ANY TIME SOON, CAT. ]

Do you truly believe I feel no remorse? None at all for what I did to Robb?

I'm thankful to be alive and free.

Re: text

[onlyvengeance]

As well you should be. Enjoy each day as it comes to you.

Re: text

[am_i_a_monster]

I try to. Every day here is one more day than I would have had if I hadn't been brought here.

Re: text

[onlyvengeance]

I understand that, perhaps more than you may expect.

Re: text

[am_i_a_monster]

Did you die on your world?

Re: text

[onlyvengeance]

I did. My oldest son, his wife and unborn son, our friends and allies alike were killed at my brother's wedding. I watched them all fall before... you know they actually died in the same way ouch right in the feels

text

[am_i_a_monster]

I'm so sorry. I saw my parents die. I'm still dealing with it. I didn't die then though. I died later.

Re: text

[onlyvengeance]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Time does help, but some wounds run too deep for that.

text

[am_i_a_monster]

Yeah. We just have to find ways to live with it.

When you have somewhere to go where there will be someone to tell you, "welcome home."

Re: text :

[onlyvengeance]

Home and family are very important to me as well. I hope you have both.

[onlydoubts]

My friends. The ones I made here and the ones I had before.

[onlyvengeance]

Friends are a blessing from the gods.

[onlydoubts]

No arguments here.

I'm also just really glad to be here at all.

[onlyvengeance]

I too am grateful for every day.
This place is strange, still, and I suppose it will always be so. I wish all of my family were here, so that I could know they were safe.

[wintersfallen]

I am most grateful for you. And for our children.
And for the time we have together.

[onlyvengeance]

I had thought to never see your dear face again, my love.
Or our children. Every day is a gift.

[wintersfallen]

It is indeed. The best gift I've ever received.

[onlyvengeance]

I know it is not a promise you can truly keep, yet...please never leave me again.
