The Princess and the Tower

[sorcerous]

WHO Anyone who wants to rescue Sansa! Also Loki and Sansa.
WHAT Rescuing Sansa from the Ice Tower
WHERE Upstream on the river.
WHEN This IC day/the next IC day
NOTES I'll be setting up subthreads for the ice maze, the guardians outside the tower, and the stairs inside the tower. The group will start out all together in the ice maze and then be separated into two, I believe. The groups are (correct me if I'm wrong) Cho, Sif and Faolan, and Giles, Helios, Kay and Bakura. It's not too late to participate! If you would like to, hit up the plurk linked in the below paragraph.

The general sequence of events can pretty much be assumed to be: they get through the ice maze, they get through the guardians, they get up the stairs. If anyone would in particular like your group to be the winner, that's cool with me, go ahead and jump in here, otherwise it'll just be whoever manages to RP to that part first.

What little Sansa knows of magic comes from grand tales and fanciful songs. Before Schwanheim, she had not thought such things real, not since she was a young and wide-eyed innocent.

If magic can be real, can the rest of the songs? --But no. If magic is real it must be as harsh and cruel as the rest of the world.

"Where I am from, in the land of Westeros," she says, and her words are measured, careful, each tidbit of knowledge carefully thought-out before she eases them past her guard, "we have a Wall that marks the northernmost reaches of our Kingdoms. It rises near a thousand feet into the sky and stretches from the eastern shores to the west. They say it was fashioned with magic thousands of years ago."

"A thousand feet high?" A raise of his eyebrow. That's very interesting, and quite likely to be magic. "And why would your kingdom build such a wall?" He's very interested.

"To keep out what lies beyond it." The way it's spoken, it's clear she knows no more than that. Sansa had never liked the frightening stories.

[sorcerous]

"And what lies beyond?"

So many options, for the truth. Perhaps a king needed something for his subjects to fear. Perhaps there truly are horrors on the other side. Perhaps there once were, and now...

Loki is intrigued.
