Seventeen. No Dragons.

{Viserys is NOT wearing his usual tunic with the three-headed dragon sigil of House Targaryen. There's a tiny ruby dragon pin on his black doublet. He smiles slightly as he addresses the camera.}

I have such fond memories of my childhood, before the madness took my father. My big brother stood ten feet tall, and he shined with the light of a thousand suns. My mother was beautiful, and kind, before the shadows ringed her eyes and the darkness stole the violets away. Even my father, yes, even he was grand then. Everything a king should be. I was a second son, but I was never made to feel small. There was a place for me. A place in the pit of incestuous dragons, where madness rippled just beneath the surface, waiting to strike.

{He shakes his head.}

They say the gods flipped a coin the day a Targaryen was born, to decide whether the babe would be great or mad. I am neither. I'm fine with that. I will serve my time here, however long that may be, and I will find a place for myself. A place that belongs to me, a place of my own choosing.

{{OOC: Viserys is affected, and instead of being bitter about what happened to him and his, he's grateful. He now sees House Targaryen as polluted with madness, and he's glad that he was able to 'escape' the legacy.}}

Sixteen. Three Dragons.

I'm certainly grateful that my useless sister didn't show up here.

I wouldn't have minded if my brother did. He left me a gift last time. Dany would have left me nothing.

[Private to Cat]
Have you seen the bastard?

Fifteen. Wherein the Dragon points out the obvious.

Why would any of you people get off the boat when you don't have to unless you were somewhere useful? Like home?

[Private to Cat]

I suppose you're in every sort of trouble by now. Are people really stealing body parts?

[Private to Raistlin - because he presumes you're allies now and has no idea you were affected by the love flood]

Did you leave the ship?

[Private to Arthas]

I don't know what you've heard, but I talked to someone who saw David disappear in front of his eyes.

{{OOC: Viserys obviously didn't leave the Barge. He's attempting to find/experiment with additional sources of heat to hatch his dragon egg while the ship is relatively empty. I'm still mostly on hiatus until mid-March, but I needed a break from my million hours of work.}}

Fourteen. Love Dragon.

You people don't even know what love is.

[Private to Rassilon]

{The Dragon has a lot to say about love, but the minute he starts the private message, he becomes tongue tied, loses his train of thought, and hastily cuts the feed.

In about three hours time, Rassilon will find a picture of a dragon holding a heart slipped under his door. It will look like an eight year old drew it because that's about when Viserys stopped his art lessons.}

Thirteen. The Happy Dragon

{Incredibly backdated video entry. Viserys is beaming. His eyes are twinkling and he's clutching a crown and a gemstone-looking egg the size of a melon to his chest. He's happy and on a bit of a sugar high.}

Santa! I didn't believe you could ever just give things away without expecting favor! I presumed you wanted a lordship after I took back my throne! But I have made you no promises, and look! My mother's crown!

And look! {He plants a kiss to the side of the egg.} My very own dragon egg.

[Private to David]
My heart broke the day I sold her crown. It was all I had left of her. The crown, and the sister who murdered her. Thank you.

[Private to Cat/Arya]
If I ever get it to hatch, I will name it Arys. I swear that when I take back my throne, Winterfell will be yours, and if there are any Starks left, I will do them no harm.

[Private to Claire]
I enjoyed the sweets, thank you. They tasted like home. My true home, not that pathetic life of wandering in exile.

Twelve. Dragon Half-Truths

{Backdated to after the flood. Written.}

I was my brother, and he didn't even know he was dead.

He didn't know about Dany.

I want to be a better person. I want to be like my brother. Whatever his alleged flaws, whatever lies the Usurper told, my brother was a good person. He was brave, he was honorable, and he loved me.

[Private to Cat]
You should have told him who you are. He could have told you the truth about Lyanna Stark, once and for all.

[Private to David]
I want to be like you.

[Private to Claire]
Jon Snow is gone. Take me to the CES.

Eleven. The Last Dragon

{There's a burst of static, and words muttered in High Valyrian. When the video transmission begins, the communicator is held close, the camera revealing a gleaming black breastplate. The center of the breastplate is crushed. What was once a three-headed dragon sigil worked entirely in rubies is now twisted and buckled in the center of the chest, with three-quarters of the rubies missing. A gloved index finger and thumb appear, plucking a loose ruby from its setting.

The hand holding the communicator now holds it at arm's length. The man in the mangled armor is revealed to look a lot like Viserys, only his face isn't as gaunt, his hair is longer, and his eyes are indigo instead of pale lilac. He holds up the ruby and studies it, turning it this way and that in the light.}


{{OOC: Viserys is his dead older brother, Rhaegar Targaryen. If anyone recognizes the pb, let me know! I'm guessing he's some pouty model type, but I ganked this lone picture off a twitter Rhaegar.}}

Ten. Dragon vs. Fairies

{Accidental video from his fallen communicator shows Viserys III Targaryen on deck with his broom!sword as he swings at scores of hissing, spitting fairies. He hisses and spits right back at them. He must have yelled about being the dragon one too many times; he is now green and scaly with enormous red eyes. Instead of breathing fire, bubbles come out of his mouth every time he opens it.}

Nine. The Dragon King

{Viserys has bathed! Which probably means some awkward splashing in a sink, since a shower would be beyond his comprehension. He's taken note of what's going on with the network today, and he's decided to see if he can make contact with anyone from Westeros or Essos. He doesn't know how to do much of anything without servants, but he attempted to style his hair by pulling back the top portion and clasping it with a dragonbone brooch. His least grubby tunic, bearing the three-headed dragon sigil of his house, is draped over his silks and mail.}

I am Viserys of the House Targaryen, the Third of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

Any rumors you may have heard regarding my demise at the hands of Khal Drogo and his Dothraki savages were completely untrue. I am very much alive. I am merely--waiting for the perfect opportunity to take back what is rightfully mine. The Iron Throne that belonged to the dragonlords of old Valyria for three hundred years. Let me assure you that the words of House Targaryen will come to pass with a vengeance--Fire and Blood await anyone who chooses to support the stag or the lion. The dragon will leave only ash and dust in his wake.

{He can't admit that he's being held prisoner on a floating ship by a god that no one in the Seven Kingdoms or the Free Cities will have ever heard of. No, better to say this is a stratagem. This was all his idea.}

Swear fealty to me now, and I will forgive you any lapses in judgment you may have had in the past. The dragon can be benevolent. Your rightful king will show mercy, but only if you admit your mistake now.

Eight. Dragon Spam. (Arya)

[The man who fears losing has already lost. Viserys made his way to the deck with his broom in tow. His left hand was wrapped in strips of cloth he had torn from a ragged silk shirt. Fear cuts deeper than swords. There was a bruise under his left eye, and several more older bruises on his arms, hidden under the sleeves of his shirt. He pretended the deck wasn't being swallowed up by rust and ash. He pretended the boat wasn't being consumed out from under him as he tiptoed out into the darkness. Quiet as a shadow.]

Seven. Infiltrating the Dragon's Lair

{Voice transmission, shrill and incensed.}

SOMEONE IS IN MY ROOM.

{Written, some time later. The handwriting is a scrawl, almost unreadable, as opposed to his usual elegant script.}

Jon Snow, I demand two brooms.

Six. Dragon Truths.

{Voice transmission. Viserys sounds completely calm, with a sort of cooing sound to his voice, like he's telling a bedtime story to a kitten.}

I never wanted to be king. I was never meant to be king. I was the second son, I was meant for other things. Prince of Dragonstone until Rhaegar's son came of age. A position on Rhaegar's small council. I imagine they would have married me to Dany, there were only eight years between us. It's a pity she wasn't older, she could have married Rhaegar and spared him marrying the Dornish girl. She was quite frail. I wonder if her children would have grown up to be dragons. I used to dream about brains splattered against stone, thanks to that fucking Mountain. He could have at least smothered the boy if he had to kill him. I hate the Lannisters. I wish I knew how to use a sword, because I would gut Jaime Lannister like a fish.

I've never felt as alone as I feel now, on this ship, because that eight year old boy in exile had his sister. I hate that I miss her nearly as much as I hate her. I hate that I'm useless and alone and afraid. I never asked to be the last dragon, I never asked to be the one to take back the Iron Throne. I don't have the heat tolerance a dragon should have. I burn too quickly.

Five. The Dragon's Dress

{Written, because he's decided he won't dignify this latest atrocity with the pressing of the voice transmission button, which is the only one he knows. Enjoy his elegant, royal script.]

Thank you, Admiral, for the gown.

If I wanted my sister's face, I would have cut it off of her myself.

I wonder if the Stark girl's potion would have even worked. It probably would have turned me into a toad.

I must say, I can't see how trussing me up like a village milkmaid and giving me my sister's face is supposed to win me back my kingdom, bastard.

Four. Dragon Looks Like a Lady

Welcome, travelers! It's so nice to see new faces in our beloved kingdom. I do so hope you enjoy your stay with us.

If anyone is looking for quality hand-made goods, look no further than the shack just outside of town. I provide sewn goods, candles, and souvenir trinkets celebrating your stay in Ravin!

Three. The Dragon Returned

{Viserys basically presses a button and rants. It happens to be the audio transmission button. He is not amused.}

If any of you think I'm the slightest bit like that disgusting craven, you are sorely mistaken.

I want my sword back. If there are going to be sorcerers on this ship who have free hand to do what they please with whomever they please, I demand the ability to defend myself. I am the dragon. I am the rightful king of Westeros. I am not some harlot's whelp you can treat like something you scraped off a boot.

Two. The Mirrored Dragon

{Viserys sits in the corner of his room, clutching his pillow as if it were a doll. He's a bit more familiar with the communicator than that other Viserys, thanks to his loving fiancée, Claire.}

That was really scary!

Is anyone hurt?

I don't mean to--I'm sure he knows what he's doing--

{Weak little laugh.}

But has anyone checked to see if the Admiral is well? He may need a Maester.

{{OOC: Viserys is affected, new to the Barge, super sweet and kind but also entirely cowardly, completely out of his element. If you've read the books, he's kind of coming off as a Sam.}}

One. The Dragon in Pentos

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

fffff

{Close up shot of narrowed, pale lilac eyes. Oh yes, pale lilac. The video feed cuts out almost as quickly as it began.}

fffffffffff

{He finally stops pressing the f button and presses a bigger one. Audio begins transmitting.} --sorcery from the Shadow Lands? Illyrio! Get in here! You'll never believe what that slut did to me!

{He jabs another button. The video feed starts up again. The picture becomes erratic and shaky before fixing on a ceiling painted with an intricate mural of dragons. There's a sound that's either chuckling or sobbing or an odd blending of the two.}

I am the dragon, and she dared - she dared - really, Illyrio, what is this thing? Do you think this, this sorcery box will make up for the eggs? It won't buy me an army. What do these buttons do? Why am I still talking to the air? I know you can hear me. You always had your spies listening in on me. Don't think I didn't know. The dragon knows.

{He takes a closer look at the front of the sorcery box again, so we see his face. Gaunt, with hard lines, tanned from his recent sojourn across the Dothraki Sea. His eyes are fever-bright, his hair a mess of silvery-gold tangles. He touches his forehead, then the top of his head, with a trembling hand.}

Those savages will need to be burned. I'm thinking alive so I can hear their screaming. Yes. Alive. I'll dig a pit and burn the women and children. The men will take Westeros for me. If not, they can burn, too. Illyrio. Illyrio, you landed sea whale, get in here.

{{{OOC: Enter Viserys! Feel free to think he's another of Harry Lloyd's roles in effeminate contacts and a cheap white wig!}}}
