Alright, fellow Caveians. I've got three questions that are in order of decreasing relevance to our current situation as cave-prisoners. In fact the last one isn't relevant at all, just sort of a distraction from the fact that some people still seem a bit sore about losing during that last event.

Hey, nothing wrong with a bear or flowers.

[Whistler managed to get chocolates so he's not complaining]

Anyway - First Question:

How many of you, prior to arriving in this Cave, had a profession that involved being armed or fighting on a regular basis. Now I know a lot of you can be touchy when anyone asks you well...anything... so the level of specifics you give me doesn't matter too much. Even "yes" or "no" will do. I'll take it as a sign not to ask any follow up questions.

[He may be a bit done with how 'not fun' a lot of you are]

Second Question:

How many of you come from a place that is NOT some variation of Earth?

And my third question:

If you were told you could have any ONE thing you wanted. No questions asked. No tricks. What would you ask for?

Well you're not alone. I'm standing with you in the 'have no clue how to fight' solidarity.

Is it alright if I ask where you're from?

Oh? Is it something you've not had the opportunity to learn, or you don't care to?

It's quite all right. I'm from Westeros.

I never really needed to fight anybody so it sort of never came up.

Yeah? And what is Westeros like?

And now?

It's--complicated. You see, Westeros is a continent and a set of islands. Half of it has been at war with the other half for the past few years and the land has suffered for it. I thought that with peace restored to the Riverlands that perhaps things would get better, but I fear that they will only get worse.

I've managed to avoid needing it for the most part. What about you?

I'm sorry to hear that... what is everyone fighting about?

I've not needed it, but I do think there's some merit in learning.

[short laugh] What else? Power. Who has it. Who wants it. And who is willing to go the farthest to get it.

I don't know that I really can learn. At least not more than basic self defense. [He's sturdy and fit enough to do ok in a scuffle at least, but not if weapons were involved] What were you thinking of doing?

Power over what? just...more land? more people?

I've used crossbows before in hunting, so I assumed I'd start there.

Both. There was one crown and five kings warring over it. All five of those kings are now dead, but I fear that the current king will be the puppet of his mother. I would know. I was married to him before I died.

Now that's a pretty serious weapon.

I..I, uh, gotta tell you I didn't see that coming. [A beat as he mulls over that one] I'm sorry.

It should be sufficient to keep those who would harm me at a distance.

I did, but there was nothing I could do to stop it. And, thank you.

I wish I could tell you that sort of thing wouldn't happen here.

Wait, you knew you were going to, um, you know...? [die]

I've heard that it can. It would be silly to not--take precautions.

Yes. I knew. As soon as I realized that Cersei was not coming to her trial and the king wasn't there either, I knew.

Yeah it can. And it does.

[That's the long and short of that]

Um, who is Cersei? Why was she on trial?

Cersei Lannister is--was my mother-in-law. And what wasn't she on trial for? The main charges against her were regicide, adultery, and incest. She was guilty of all of them, so obviously she didn't want the trial to go forward.

She wasn't messing around was she?

Err, well, she didn't seem to miss any opportunity to commit a crime, that is...

No. No, she didn't. She killed at least a hundred people, just so she could be sure that the High Sparrow, my father, my brother, and myself would die.
