WINTERFELL, Westeros — "Gather round warriors of Winterfell and prepare for the brief of safety to be given by our beloved Hodor" said Arya Stark, as the first snow of the season began to fall. "Hodor, please inform the men and women of this great kingdom what they should and shouldn't do this weekend to ensure safety across our lands."

"Hodor," said Hodor in a greeting manner. "Hodor hodor hodor, HODOR, hodor hodor, rape is bad, hodor." he added. "Hodor hodor, HOLD THE DOOR, hodor hodor, hOdOr, drunk people can't give consent, hodor hodor hold the door, hodor, and use protection."

"Hodor hodor, don't drink mead and ride your stead, hodor hodor hodor, hold the door," Hodor said.
