[roseofthetyrells]

[most people put on a hit list would lie low and avoid public notice.

not Margaery. she's not going to let the Null run her life and she has sewing shop duties to attend to.

this time, there's no fumbling with the phone, no going out of focus, Marg has successfully conquered her phone. and the sewing shop is dust-free and bolts of fabric can be seen in the distance]

I'd like the teal.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

Excellent choice! The teal will really bring out those pretty eyes of yours.

And may I have your name, so I can contact you when it's finished?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Thank you.

I'm Abigail.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Abigail. My name is Margaery Tyrell, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

The kingdoms in Westeros. I remember.

[roseofthetyrells]

--oh! [Margaery taps her forehead] We've met before, at the party after the paintball game. Please forgive me my forgetfulness.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail smiles.]

It's okay. It was a awhile ago.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

Thank you for your forgiveness. How have you been?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I've been good. Lucky enough to not be on that list. [She pauses.]
No offense meant. Are you okay?

video

[roseofthetyrells]

[Margaery laughs, but there's no mockery in it]

Lucky, indeed! I told them to put me on that list.

None taken. I've been fine, all things considered. Had some nice dreams. And a couple of truly frightening ones, but nothing I couldn't recover from.

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail thinks that wasn't smart, but she keeps herself from saying so.]

I had some bad dreams too. I did have one good one. I was in a big forest and I had a harpsichord to play.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

[there were children on the list. children and the man Margaery loves. she couldn't not intervene]

A harpsichord! Is that something you can make music with?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Yes! It's like a piano.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

You'll have to forgive me, but I don't know what a piano is.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Oh, then just a sec.

[She picks up a small pile of drawings she's made and sorts through them until she finds the one she wants. She holds it up - it's a picture she made of the harpsichord in her dream.]

That's what a harpsichord looks like. I press the keys to play it.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

How extraordinary! We don't have such things in Westeros. What does it sound like?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

It sounds like a..it's hard to explain without comparing it to other instruments. It sounds beautiful, especially the classics. Classical music sounds kind of like this.

[She hums part of a sonata Hannibal taught her.]

But much bigger. More dramatic.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

[Margaery listens attentively]

That sounds like it would be beautiful. In Westeros, we have the lute, the high harp, and singers. We have few other sources of music.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

We had much more. Hannibal even played a theremin. That's an instrument that looks kind of like a box.

[She shows the size with her hands.]

And the theremin has an antenna. It's played without actually touching it.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

Played without touching it? How does that work?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

It kind of works like a radio signal. But I guess you didn't have radios either? There's two antennas on a theremin. One of them controls pitch and the other controls volume. How close you are to it, and how you move your hands changes the signals and makes different sounds.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

Truly? [she laughs delightedly] That sounds like magic! We don't have any of those instruments here, do we?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

No, I don't think so.

video

[roseofthetyrells]

That's too bad. We should have more such things here. They would help fend of some of the boredom, if nothing else.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

We really should. It could help distract people from the bad stuff too.
