I. But First, Coffee

It's a beautiful day. Not, perhaps, by anyone else's standards - it's overcast and cool and some of those clouds seem to bear the threat of rain. But that's how he prefers it. It makes this strange place feel just a little more like home.

He's left work early, after spending much of the morning at his desk, staring out the window. Some days he doesn't mind being in the office. It's fascinating, at times, and he's learned a great deal there. But sometimes his patience with the whole thing grows thin. Today is one of those days.

He feels better already, being out in the open air. He's headed home to enjoy the rest of this lovely day. After he pops into the coffee shop to pick up one of those marvelous drinks the folks in the office have introduced him to - something called a "latte." He picks up a lemon cake for Cat, as well. It's sold by the slice, and though the girl gives him a funny look when he asks, he buys a whole cake's worth of them.

Should you be in this shop or on the street, you might find yourself having a rare encounter with a cheerful Ned Stark. He's smiling. This place takes as well as it gives - he misses the girls terribly still - but he is grateful for every day he has with those who remain, and for the relative peace here. His head seems likely to remain securely on his shoulders here, and that is certainly something to be grateful for.

II. No Way This is Gonna Last

Once home, he changes out of his office-mandated suit and into the jeans and t-shirt that have become his standard attire here and situates himself on the porch with the rest of his latte and half a slice of Cat's lemon cake.

On a whim, he summons a pair of his wolves to sit with him, and though they are not corporeal beings and he cannot scratch them behind the ears, as such, they are still good company. And so, there he sits, content, peaceful, half waiting for something or someone to come along and ruin everything.

III. Wildcard

If there's something else you'd like to do with Ned, feel free!

WHO: Catelyn Stark and Theon Greyjoy
WHERE: vague mumblings of a placename shh probably somewhere kind of mildly remote and possibly unnamed
WHEN: now
WHAT: Theon has a Feels and things go poorly, as always
WARNINGS: grown men crying = always hurtful ok. In all seriousness, usual Game of Thrones topics....

It was odd to think of riding a horse as something one did for fun, and yet so it had become, if not exactly fun, then a distraction of sorts. There was something about choosing a direction at random and going along and purposefully not thinking. Kind of the medieval version of driving in the car listening to the radio for no real reason other than to get into that almost zen state of thinking/not thinking. She might be living in more modern times, but in a lot of ways, coping strategies included, Catelyn Stark is still stuck in the middle ages, ok. She had learned as a small child to orient herself by the position of the sun in the sky, and she had an unerring sense of direction, so she wasn't concerned with getting lost. She knew the way home.

And so she pushed on, deeper into the still unfamiliar countryside, only occasionally startled by the jarring presence of something or someone more modern, such as a truck rambling past on a section of road. And as the distance slipped away, so did some of her worries. Most of them were in regard to her family, and those that were not present in this world were beyond her aid, anyways.

She had been for the most part, alone. But the quiet, muffled sound of distress cut through her reverie, and she turned her horse from the path and more along the direction of the sound. She could not have said what she expected, but Theon Greyjoy with the tracks of tears on his face was not it in the least. She drew rein and let her gaze drift over him. He didn't seem to be hurt but that didn't necessarily mean he was not. Turncloak he may have become, but it was ....unsettling to see him like this. "Theon?" she queried, not certain what she may receive in response.

WHO: Catelyn Stark and YOU
WHERE: Jon's Tardis of a farmhouse, for the most part
WHEN: most of December - as long as the event runs, basically
WHAT: The nanites snafu
WARNINGS: normal GoT topics

A. Nobody will notice if I break down inside

She didn't initially notice the nanites going on the fritz. She felt an ache deep in her bones, especially in the longer bones in each limb, but she soldiered on, insisting on going to work each day and doing her best to hide the effect she was feeling. Her control of her powers was weakening, and she found herself staring into still water that was only water, and no reflection of her loved ones. She began to doubt that they had even existed at all. If you encounter her during this time, she'll have a distant expression, and she'll remark on the cold, even if you happen to be in a warm place.

B. Have you ever held silence like a knife

Eventually she will reach a point where she can't make herself crawl out of bed in the morning. Her skin will grow paler by the day until it seems almost bloodless. The scars from her death and earlier will grow more and more vivid, and her voice will get more and more raspy and rough. Eventually she will barely be able to speak at all. She will drift in and out of consciousness and her dreams will be the Red Wedding, endlessly. She'll be lucid at times, but it will become less and less likely as the month progresses, and she will obsessively pick apart the scarf she was knitting for Robb, and she will make it into a rope. Because Stoneheart has only two thoughts, revenge and hanging her enemies.

C. choose your own adventure!! I'm willing to thread anything you might fancy!

WHO: Catelyn Stark and You
WHERE:Memoryland
WHEN:Now
WHAT: A walk down memory lane
WARNINGS: Usual Game of Thrones topics

You are a young girl, still in many ways a child, when your mother dies, and you must grow up overnight. Your family words are family, duty, and honor. And you begin to understand what they mean, learning to be a mother to your siblings, and the lady of Riverrun.

You cry only at night when no one can hear you.

Time passes in the blink of an eye, and you are meeting the man who you are to marry. He is a man grown, and a stranger, but you are dazzled by his handsome face and you hope he will be kind. He is quick tempered, eager to answer Petyr’s challenge, but he listens to your pleading for mercy. And honor has him put his armor aside, so the fight is as fair as it could ever be. You are haunted by Petyr calling for you as he bleeds. But you obey your father and turn away.

When honor calls Brandon away to his death, duty bades you stand beside his serious, stern little brother and become his bride.

He leaves you at Riverrun with your unborn son for company. The halls seem so empty without your sister and your uncle. You don’t yet miss the husband who is mostly a stranger to you.

When he comes to take you to your new home, you are focused on your son. And it is for his sake that you are so angry about the bastard son your husband claims.

You cannot warm to him, because you see your husband and a stranger blended in his features. When he almost dies as a baby, you beg the gods to spare him and you promise to be a mother to him.

You cannot keep that promise.

WHAT: two Westerosi discuss Halloween
WARNINGS: none that I know of, but it’s Game of Thrones ppl, so sensitive things might come up, beware

[ There are children in costume scattered throughout the city today; some of the merchants are handing out candy early. Catelyn is watching this all with a touch of bemusement. The kids are cute, but the whole custom is a little odd to her. And she has discovered that she isn’t too fond of pumpkin spice, at least not in coffee. So today she is sticking to spearmint tea, something familiar. And apparently the gods have seen fit to send another reminder of home, though not one that brings up happy memories, in the form of Jaime Lannister. Still, she can be polite, if he is. When she speaks her tone is measured and calm,]

Good afternoon, ser.

[See, not Kingslayer or Oathbreaker. It’s...progress, ok?]

WHO: Catelyn Stark,Petyr Baelish, Ned Stark
WHERE: De Chima
WHEN: backdated, but this month
WHAT: a moderate to severe misunderstanding. Petyr gets to ask a question he’s always wanted to….but the catch is, it’s not for real, womp womp
WARNINGS: there might be some punches thrown, we’ll see.
Part One: The Proposal

[ Catelyn thought nothing of accepting Petyr’s invitation to lunch. Of course she has no idea what he’s planning; but despite everything she still thinks of him as her other little brother. She does have quite the blind spot when it comes to him, after all. She arrived at the place they were to meet a little early. She hates to be late, after all. So, she’s here, waiting patiently, enjoying the cool fall day. ]

Part Two: The Misunderstanding
[ And here is where Ned overhears, or somehow happens by, however ya’ll would like to do this part. Posting order: Ned, Petyr, Cat? ]

WARNINGS: None that I can imagine!

There were a great many differences in time and place than Catelyn was used to. One of the most amazing was the lack of….nothing, really. If one only knew where to look, one could have nearly anything almost instantaneously. To someone who had come of age in a time when one bad harvest literally meant decimation, if not worse, it was like something from a dream.

One of the many wonders nearly too good to be true had been the discovery of clothing “off the rack” - ready to wear and all that was necessary was to discover the size most likely to fit, and to buy them. Obviously, someone still had to make them, but it must be a much more simple process here. wool is not summerweight

She called up the stairs. “Girls, are you ready?”

WARNINGS: none that I know of, but it's Game of Thrones, so who knows what might happen

It had been longer than any of them likely wished to think of since they had all been gathered together. And though the children had no way of knowing, the parents had been plotting, and it was not only just a dinner. It was nothing like dining at Winterfell had been, and some of the food was a little strange to them. Still, Sansa's lemon cakes had made an appearance, and it all smelled good. All that remained was for everyone to crowd around the table, and dig in. Except...

Catelyn turned to Ned. "Isn't there something you wished to say first?"

Posting order as in the who above, unless ya'll would like changes? And anyone who'd like to swing by, current CR or just passing through, is welcome, but it might get crowded!

WHEN: now
WHAT: a conversation a long time in coming
WARNINGS: none that I can think of, but it's Game of Thrones people sooo....

[ Cat had turned this conversation over and over in her mind almost constantly the past few days,
like stones tumbling in the water, eventually worn smooth. She hoped the gods would guide her, and finally hold her promise fulfilled, to stop punishing her family for her own mistakes. On the one hand, it should be easy. After all, it was Ned, and there was no one she trusted more. Yet this subject had been just historically a sore point, all the way around.

But finally, spurred on by the loss of Arya, she finally reached out and rested her hand on his shoulder.

Ned, we need to talk.
