dunhaven; ic community.

It was almost impossible to make myself get out of bed this morning, but my fiance made me breakfast and that was highly motivating.

My view as I eat my dinner of leftover pizza:

( Cut for image! )

It occurred to me the other day that I'm just shy of having been in Dunhaven for a year. It's a bit of a mind boggling thought, because it really feels like I've been here much longer. I might not have grown up and been educated all that far from town in the grand scheme of things, but this town is so much different than growing up right in the DC Metro area or spending much of my 20s in Baltimore. Size aside, it's a special sort of place and I'm glad I made the fairly random decision to relocate here. I've met some wonderful people and being here let me reconnect with my favorite of them all, so I consider myself pretty lucky.

Here's to many more lucky years in this little town.

THEO, DANI

I'm not sure I can, or want to, watch more.

LYLA

[...] Can we talk?

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I desperately need to get in touch with someone from the anonymous post from a while back. I know that we never agreed to reveal ourselves, but I am looking for the anon Jon Snow. I understand if you don't want to reveal who you are, but I think meeting would answer a lot of questions for both of us. Please...please think about it.

[RHYS]

Did that sound too desperate or just the right amount?

WHO: Lyllianna Stone and Rhys Stone (with Lyanna and Ned Stark)
WHEN: July 5th, afternoon.
WHERE: The Stone Household.
SUMMARY: Endings and Beginnings - Lyllianna has dream with finality, but finds out some exciting news with Rhys.
WARNINGS: Death involving childbirth, infertility, pregnancy.

( It's positive. )

This isn't only now occurring to me, but I think it's starting to sink in that my daughter is going to be ten in a month. That's a double digit age.

BRYNN

We should do something soon. Just you and me.

DANIELLE

Hey. How have you been?

LYLA

Hey. I need to ask you something.

WHO: Rhys and Lyllia Stone → Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark
WHEN: Evening of June 8
WHERE: The Stone abode
SUMMARY: Rhys and Lyllia get pretty jarring memories that leave them physically and mentally spent.
WARNINGS: Death, grief, pregnancy, etc

( Love -- true or perceived -- seemed to be good inspiration for them both. )

WHO: Lyllianna Stone --> Lyanna Stark Targaryen
WHEN: May 16, 2018
WHERE: Lyllia's House --> Dorne
SUMMARY: The state of the world has changed around Lyanna along with something a little more personal that hits too close to home for Lyllia.
WARNINGS: TW: War. Death. Pregnancy. Infertility.

( She wanted to be a mother. )

I'm taking a risk here, but hope that the lack of judgement is going to extend beyond the anonymous comments.

I know I'm supposed to put up the sigil, but my dragon drawing attempts were ridiculous so if whoever was talking to me last night about Targaryens would filter me, that would be wonderful. I didn't have any more insight, but I've been thinking about this all day.

Hello, Dunhaven!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows me because I am legitimately the loudest resident in this town but, for the sake of modesty, allow me to introduce myself to anyone who doesn't. I am Charlie Parker, a senior at Athena Academy. For one of my capstone projects, I am hosting a social experiment that requires your help. It's kind of like Post-Secret which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is a project that collects anonymous secrets on postcards. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I would like to conduct something similar here, though it would be isolated to the network versus mailing me your secrets. It's really easy to participate. All you have to do is leave me an anonymous secret here. All comments are anonymous in that even I won't be able to tell who posted them. Though anonymous, they will be public. Comments can be anything, even something as simple as song lyrics that speak to you but that you wouldn't share with other people normally.

Please help me, Dunhaven! You're my only hope of getting a passing grade on this capstone!

[OOC: Comment with your character journals as normal, not as anon. For IC purposes, we will still assume it's all anonymous to the characters. Thought this would be a good opportunity for people to find out that others are having weird dreams, too, among other things!!]

WHO: Lyllia and Rhys Stone → Lyanna Stark & Rhaegar Targaryen
WHEN: Middle of the night near the end of April
WHERE: Their home
SUMMARY: Lyanna and Rhaegar start a chain of events while Lyllia and Rhys watch.
WARNINGS: The usual warnings of headcanons based on clues/theories re: GOT that come with Lyanna and Rhaegar

( 'I'm as real as the heart that beats in your chest.' )

All right, I need a summary of all the excitement I missed by not bothering with this network until this very moment.

And... go.

WHO: Lyllianna Stone → Lyanna Stark
WHEN: March 26th, night
WHERE: The Stone household.
SUMMARY: Lyanna makes plans.
WARNINGS: Headcanon and Speculation of GOT.

( I wish I could disappear from this place. )

So I was on Buzzfeed the other day (as you do), and Rhys, you might want to stop reading now.

I stumbled upon a quiz called "Can You Choose Between Sex and Cheese?" like that's even really a question.

Obviously it's cheese, and I'm not sure I'd trust anyone who chose differently. Cheese has never let me down. I know, I know, but Brynn, you just have to meet the right person.

Or! I could just eat cheese.

WHO: Lyllianna and Rhys Stone → Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen
WHEN: Backdated to early February
WHERE: The Stone home, specifically the stables
SUMMARY: Lyllia and Rhys remember a meeting of a lady and a prince.
WARNINGS: Without having definitive info on Lyanna and Rhaegar outside of what's been revealed in the show, we went off of popular theories and headcanons. So this may or may not be spoilery, depending on what we find out in 2019. 😉

( 'I'm ill-suited for the life of a lady, but we are all bound to our duty, are we not?' )

[TEXTS TO RHYS]

-- I had another dream.
-- Well, I was looking at paperwork, and I zoned out.
-- It was from some time after what we both...experienced.

WHO: Lyllianna Stone → Lyanna Stark
WHEN: Sunday, February 25th.
WHERE: Rhys and Lyllia’s house.
SUMMARY: Lyanna writes letters to Rheagar.
WARNINGS: Emotional affair.

( Rheagar Targaryen had become her confidante, and she had become his.  )

Happy birthday, More Attractive Half of The Stones!

[During the day, a nice leather halter and with nameplates for her favorite horse Echo, with a matching lead, is delivered to the Stone residence, wrapped in wrapping paper by the company]


Texts to Lyllianna sometime after that
