Alayne Stone | A Song of Ice and Fire

[notsansa]

PLAYER: Jesse
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Absolutely! (cherto | Pactoris#0587)
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? I am the zombie. Playing the long game! Surely a cure will be discovered before my brains are bashed in.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Sansa Stark (Alayne Stone) | A Song of Ice and Fire
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Was a stupid girl with silly dreams. Now a smart girl with dead dreams.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOWADAYS? PLOTS THEY NEED HELP WITH? Keeping to the shadows since the Huntress attack, texting Zuzu when she can't sleep at night, and eavesdropping on everyone and their business because y'all talk way too openly.

She may or may not be looking into how to afford magic school (okay she definitely is), or learning magic some other way, to protect herself. I'm oh-so-eager for this to go horribly wrong if anyone wants to help! She'll also be borrowing from Margaery's playbook and try to bring supplies (BRED) to the needy in the destruction's aftermath. Zuko will join her for one trip, but there will probably be more!

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Black Friday sales hit and the last item on your character's shopping list is getting swarmed by the masses. How do they secure the goods? Convinces someone to steal the intercom for her so that she can announce even better sales at the next store over, thereby clearing the way for her. Sorry-not-sorry, other store's employees!

ii. Your character has been stranded on a long journey with a wailing baby whose lung capacity predicts a great future in the musical arts. Everyone is staring. How do they assert dominance? She'll sing for the baby to try and drown it out/calm it down. Nobody will one-up her! If that doesn't work, quietly wish for someone else to take it, but since she wouldn't trust anyone else, assume herself a martyr and try to keep a distance from the group so they don't end up throwing her and le bebe out.

iii. What hipster coffee order would your character put in, if they even knew what coffe is? The limited edition Unicorn Frappuccino, of course. What do you mean you no longer sell it?! Can't someone still make it off-menu? ...Strawberry frappe it is.


THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC): 1) Manipulative mentor. 2) Someone for her to manipulate. 3) Grillfrand to break through her facade and goof off with.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? She can make clothes for the group, and also offer entertainment via song/music/dancing. Also, do you want a spy??? She can spy. She can also be very convincing, but she's learnin' to master her wiles, still.

[thebrideoffire]

Grillfrands 4 lyf?

[notsansa]

Goals!

But yes. Once Sansa stops feeling intimidated by her.

[thebrideoffire]

Ironically that intimidation will run both ways.

[notsansa]

That is absolutely my jam. I'm up for the slowburn of them figuring one another out. Whyyyy was my not!brother visiting you, strange lady from Essos?!

Something stupid eventually needs to break through, though, like a third party starting a food fight with them or somesuch. Quick, Daenerys, defend Sansa and the destruction of her favorite dress! Throw that pie.

[thebrideoffire]

This is mine too. I never really get ASOIAF characters around Dany's age. It's usually show ones or adults, so her meeting someone that embodies what she wishes at times she was is intimidating for her.

Omg yes. Food fight. No more pretty gown ruinings for Sansa!

[notsansa]

This is my first time playing Sansa, so I am very nervous about it, but so excited I'm getting to play her with castmates she knows or is close to in age.

I also cannot wait for the boy gossip. So much to share. Even if Sansa is...absolutely frigid with sharing her stuff bc that was another life, but if her real identity if ever revealed, then maybe...!

[thebrideoffire]

You're wonderful and so is she!

There's a romantic somewhere deep inside her and Dany will find it!

[notsansa]

It's definitely still there, when Alayne isn't jabbing a hot poker into it to keep it quiet.

[thebrideoffire]

Alayne can't win forever!

[sergeant_slick]

Slick's right there with Sansa on the network lurking, everybody here is do unconcerned with communications security and he is not going to get arrested for treason again just because he didn't cover his tracks thoroughly enough!

Uh.

On that note, he's not a master manipulator, but he's one in-training, and still failing occasionally. They could compare notes!

[notsansa]

Sansa doesn't want to get arrested for treason, either. B( Already on the lamb in her own world, damn!

LOL suddenly imagining them with a checklist of things Not To Do in public.

[sergeant_slick]

These people are too trusting! It's almost like they're main characters and from series that don't constantly dump misery on them or something!

He definitely needs a checklist, ngl. His cover in Taravast is as a Decorated War Hero, which he's 100% using to manipulate people and get fellow off-worlders out of trouble, though he's in over his head when it comes to actual politics.

Oh oh also a thing--since Slick has met Dany now and he's been pestering everybody for vocabulary in their home languages--if he hears Sansa speaking the Common Tongue, he'll know she's from at least the same postal code as Dany. He might be able to manage a few basic words or phrases he's memorized without the aid of the translator, though not much more than that.

[notsansa]

Sansa and Dany might actually have different dialects because of growing up in different countries, but the common tongue is absolutely a connecting factor.

Seeing him try to speak it would be adorable, I want this.

[sergeant_slick]

He's asking everybody he meets for some really basic vocabulary, some of which usually carries over between dialects which i've checked, because i'm a horrible linguistics gremlin

Be prepared to hear an accent that has never been heard in Westeros: Space Kiwi.

[notsansa]

Everyone has a strange accent to her! But...tell her more about living in the stars, eh. She will gladly give you random words just for that.

[reparo]

i choose option #3 please because she'll not enjoy #2 or be #1. girl squad only
also funnily enough hermione was given the secret identity of court modiste, so that's ONE way in

[notsansa]

I was super dumb and for some reason thought we could only pick 3 kinds of CR, because trust, I want more than that!!! I also wanted to include 'wholesome mentor' and Hermione would fit the bill for that AND grillfrand.

Also that is an amazing identity... We should do something with that for sure. Sansa loves pretty dresses and would be trying to learn the local fashions so as not to stick out like a sore thumb, and learning how to make them herself.

[reparo]

a wholesome mentor AND grillfrand - you got it.

then sansa can show hermione how to make them herself because she's been slacking off something fierce hahaha. all her fabric became blankets for the cold and poor during the huntress' visit so... she's not doing great

[notsansa]

Hermione is so kind!!! Sansa would absolutely admire that. Yes, magic lessons for dressmaking lessons, what think ye?

[reparo]

a more than fair trade - a useful skill in exchange to doing something she enjoys (aka teaching people magic) sign me the fuck up

[notsansa]

prepare for absolute drama when Sansa realizes she can't do diddly, though. dramaaaaaa.
