hadriel | Video 8 - Sewing Shop

[the video opens on Margaery sitting neatly in a chair, wearing one of her usual gowns with her sword sitting on her lap. for those with practiced eyes or those who know Margaery well, they will be able to tell that her smile is still strained and not entirely meeting her eyes, but it's still bright and beautiful just the same]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to remind you that the Sewing Shop is open and ready for business here on the North Island. I can make a wide variety of clothing or embellish that which you already have. You have only to ask.

The only price is that you have to obtain a bolt of fabric from Tranquility in exchange. All manners of fabric are welcome as are all colors.

Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

[filtered to the Killjoys cast]

One of your friends, Party Poison, has approached me about making clothing for all of you. He's already paid in advance, so all you need to do is come over so I can take your measurements and talk to you about what you would like to have.

[filtered to Eleven (and Wash)]

I have a few surprises for you. Come over whenever you like and I'll have them ready for you.

Is it the world or is it the people in it? [she often wonders about that, if all people in all worlds are as capable of such cruelty as those in Westeros]

People. The world's only as bad as the people let it be.

Then the people in my world must truly be terrible.

Is it that bad where you were?

Worse. We've been in a civil war for five years and it shows no signs of stopping. Religious fanaticism gripped the land, though I suppose with the death of the High Sparrow, that will lessen. And my murderer sits the Iron Throne.

Murderer. [There's a lot to unpack in what she's been told, but that's what catches Girl's attention front and center.] You died?

Yes, almost a year ago. I've--mostly gotten used to it.

I-really? I didn’t think that was something you could get used to.

It is. Eventually, you can get used to anything.

Makes you sound awful resilient. Few months on and I still can’t get used to it. [To be fair, Girl didn’t stay dead. That might have something to do with it.]

I suppose I'm resilient. You're still having trouble adjusting? [while Margaery went straight here after her death with just a momentary stop into the nothingness that was her afterlife]

Maybe, I guess. [She says it hesitantly, unsure whether she's earned the trouble.] Always half expectin' this is all just some kinda trick or weird dream.

[her voice is warm in response] So did I, at first. This place is so peculiar, it's hard to believe it's real.

If I couldn't pinch myself, I'd think I'd lost it. But at least we're all not stuck in it alone, I guess.

[she gives a friendly laugh] I would as well! This place can be a lot to handle, can't it? But you're right, we're not alone.

Mmm-hmmm. And at least some of us got people from home too. [She pauses, realizing that might come across as cruel in the given situation.] Sorry, if you don't. Just sayin' it's made it easier for me.

[she hastens to reassure her] No, no, it's quite all right! I do have friends from home here. Well, two of them I hadn't met before, but we're friends now.

More than two, huh? How many are you?

There's Sansa Stark who I already knew, Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, and me. We all share a house together.

I've spoke to Sansa before. Can't say I know the rest. But it must be pretty nice. That's a pretty big group.

Yes, it is. Do you have friends from home?

You know 'bout Party. My friend Jet's here too. [She figures its fine to tell Margaery Jet's name if Party's already told her about all of them.]

It's nice, having friends from home. People you don't have to explain every little detail from home to.

Yeah. It's weird enough having to explain the name thing all the time. It's nice to go back to people who get everything.

Yes, and who don't judge you for the . . . harsher aspects of your culture.
