Comm Post: First of Its Name [video/audio]

[onlyrescuesmaidens]

[Fiddles with the communicator strapped tightly to his right wrist and glares as the picture comes into focus. Doing anything that requires fine motor control with just his left hand is still difficult, and even fastening buttons takes time. Add completely unfamiliar technology into the mix, and he's lucky he can even turn it on. He's waited until he found the inn the... what was that little white dwarf-bear with the red puff-ball called again? Oh... Moogle... The inn that the moogle directed him to and arranged for a room before trying to turn it on.]

I must admit, it is almost refreshing to be told that I need to introduce myself, though talking to a box on my wrist seems to be an odd way of doing it. Some sort of sorcery perhaps?

[A pained expression spreads over his face. Tyrion would have been fascinated by this. HE would have had ideas. HE would have poked and prodded at the little box and muttered about old books and maesters and theories. But Tyrion isn't here.]

I am Jaime Lannister, son of... no, I suppose that doesn't matter here, if you don't know the Lannister name. Suffice to say, I am a knight and a warrior...

[He looks down at the stump where his right hand once was.]

Though there's less of me than there used to be.

I've been told there are others here from many worlds... if there are any here from mine, be it Westeros, or the Free Cities, or Essos, you know my name, and I offer you... if not my friendship, then my help in getting back to where we came from.

And Brienne, if you're here... wake up and find the Stark girl, and SEVEN HELLS, stop following me! Unless you can't wake up either. If that's the case, I might have a use for that sword arm of yours and that very fine sword I gave you. I seem to be unarmed. Most embarrassing for a knight of the kingsguard, wouldn't you say?

[He pokes warily at the communicator again, and it lets out a shrill screech before turning off. The pricklemane that's been following him since he agreed to let the moogle help him synthesize it, and is now laying at his feet, winces and hisses at him, but doesn't move away from him. Jaime rather wishes that it would just go away, but doesn't think it worth the trouble to drive it off.]

[The offer takes him by surprise, and he can't keep from laughing.]

I'm sorry, Mistress, I don't mean to offend, but fighting Nightmares seems like cruel work for one so... delicate.

[He looks over at his pricklemane, who is doing the Spirit equivalent of facepalming. Jaime takes the hint.]

But... I've been surprised by ladies who are stronger than I expected before, and I suppose I shouldn't...

[He almost finishes with "Look a gift horse in the mouth," but stops himself.]

I shouldn't say no to help that's freely offered. I would be glad to have your aid.

[If it's any consolation, Celestia is laughing softly rather than bristling in offense.]

Then do try to describe your location, and I and my Spirits will come join you.

[Though her wings are typically half-spread as a rule, now she stretches them to their full, massive limit, readying them for a flight.]

[Jaime is quite glad that Celestia has more of a sense of humor than the last woman he underestimated. Also, he's got to admit he's impressed at her wingspan. He's always wondered what it would be like to see a dragon take off... and this is just as wondrous.]

I am in a room in the hotel the moogle pointed me to at the moment, but another generous fellow (pale, white hair, white coat, has a bat on his shoulder...) offered me the loan of one of his swords, and I believe he's coming to loan it to me.

Then finding you should be no difficulty at all. I shall be there shortly.

[Sadly, he may miss the opportunity, for Celestia deactivates her communicator before she takes to the air. Still, he might be able to see her coming...]
