ROUND 3 Voting


Here we go into the unknown once again. What in God's name, in gods' names, in the name R'Hllor, would Melisandre's mother say to her in a raven message, at any point in time. After burning the seven, after sending out shadowbabies, after leechings, after hustling her boss, after her powers have grown...


From Mel's mom to Mel.

Well, y'all got run over by a train this round, the Dolorous Gabe train.  It's one thing to get 6 first place votes when there are 15 or 17 entries, it's another to get 6 votes when there are 11 entries.  :o    Big congrats to you, Gabe!   Julia H. took sole possession of 2nd, and Stonehearted Snake hung on for 3rd.  Night's Queen stays in 4th, but Howlin' Howland moves northward into 5th with his Southward entry.

 

As usual, please double-check my scoring!

ROUND 4 Submissions


A humble child from a minor house, Podrick Payne gets a job squiring for Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion suspects he was given Pod as some kind of joke.

Pod's mother abandoned him when he was 4 years old. But, as Tyrion's squire, he moved up quite a bit in the pecking order of the world. Did he move down after Tyrion's fall from grace? And when he joined Brienne? What words of advice would his mother give to him? Or would she be looking for a favor of some kind?

Pod's mom to Podrick Payne.


1.    Next Payne reunion Tuesday. Grab "Ser," socialize!
2.    Now penniless, remorseful. Trusting goodness. Send silver?
3.    Now Podrick, regroup. Tyrion's gone, sadly. Survive!

5.    Now Poddy, remember to gimme some sapphires.

7.    Negotiate protection! Rumors threaten - Ghastly Stoneheart's searching!
8.    Never prouder! Really truly, gravely, so sorry...

ROUND 5


We don't know who she is or even if she's alive, but Jojen Reed does have a mother.
 
This is a very specific point in time.  Jojen has seen his death.  His death relates to taking Bran to safety north of the Wall.  He sends a raven to his mom explaining what he is going to do and why.  What does his mom say in her raven message back to her son?
 
 
Your acronym is YDHP MOTE RS

Your deadline is Thursday, August 6th, 10:00 pm EST.


ETA: I changed a letter, that k was annoying me.

I retired from Jojen submissions after "foliage hued foresight" ...

 

I remember. It's one of my favourite acrophilia entries. (My favourite is that for Bael from a shadow's game, though.)

Cheers to Dolorous Gabe!  Well done.   :bowdown:  :bowdown:  :bowdown:
 
And cheers to Emmit for "Call me." I've got that in one of my leftovers. Such a mom thing to say. :cheers:


Thanks NQ. And thanks for all the votes this past round.

Sorry to everyone that I didn't vote. I'm in Lithuania and have only just checked into a hotel with reliable internet. I will vote now for this round, in which I should be caught up with as mine was rushed and this standard is high.

1) 5
2) 1
3). 8
4). 2

Will try to come up with something for Jojen this hour before we head out.

1. 1. Next Payne reunion Tuesday. Grab "Ser," socialize!
Easily my favorite. I am assuming the Ser refers to Ilyn, and the quotes give away the family's real feelings about him.

2. 9. Now Podrick, remember to genuflect. Seem simple.
Seem simple. Great advice... that he followed.

3. 4. Now, Podrick-- Really? Tyrion?? Gods, Seven Save!
And she doesn't have a very high opinion of Lannisters... or dwarfs.

4. 5. Now Poddy, remember to gimme some sapphires.
Finally, Poddy. One of my versions had this as her nickname for him.
