Action / video

[blessedbyfarore]

[Action (closed to Zelda)]

[Link starts awake, and finds himself somewhere... unexpected.]

[The sky above, blue and wavering with light filtering down dimly, reminds him of nothing so much as the Chamber of the Sages - and with an almost physical shock, he concludes that he must be in the Sacred Realm.]

[Then... he really did fail.]

[But if this is an afterlife of sorts, then why are his clothes still torned and bloodied and soaking wet from the rain? The sword is still nearby, and the battered shield - the bow's string is still broken, the quiver is still empty. Setting a hand on his chest, he finds ridges of scar tissue - the injuries that he had succumbed to, now looking as if he had spent a good month or so recovering.]

[And what exactly is that... thing in the middle of the plaza he's now lying in?]

[Video (open)]

[Some time later, dried off, clothed, and settled at the Welcome Center, Link is finally ready to say hello to his fellow foreigners. The tattoo on the back of his left hand gets an uncomfortable look, and the StarFish Communicator (green, naturally) gets switched on.]

...Hi. Zelda said that I can use this to talk to everyone here, so I guess I should say hi to everyone. [He gives a sheepish little smile.]

I'm Link - or one of them, I guess, Zelda said my ancestor is here. [He does look rather bemused at that.]

Um... I guess that's all. [And off it goes.]

Oh... I'm Link. [Like the video says, whoops.] It's nice to meet you too, Tsubaki.

[clairvoyancies]

[Just a nod in return. Pleasantries, pleasantries.]

Do you know what you plan to do now, Link?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Awkward pause time!] ...I don't know. I think I want to join the defense force and help people. And... [He lets out a little shrug.] Get used to this place.

[clairvoyancies]

[Get used to this place...

It seems he'd have good help doing that, at least, so she doesn't look too concerned, despite how awkwardness. She's also heard of the Defense Force, over the network and such--

Having something to do would help as well.]

With time, I think you will. The Defense Force will be a good place to start.

[blessedbyfarore]

Uh huh. I don't want to stop helping people just because I'm not in Hyrule any more. What do you do here?

[clairvoyancies]

...Broadening my horizons.

I don't think I can be very helpful in the same way you can, but I am always paying attention to what's going on around me...and I'm always meeting new people here.

[Which is more than she can say for her life at home.]

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... I bet you could be helpful! You've just gotta do what you can to help people out. But learning new things is good, too!

[clairvoyancies]

It is...

[She agrees easily enough. There's a pause, as she stares for a moment, before she goes on to ask:]

I'm sure there is a lot to learn here, even for someone like you.

[Someone who's used to fighting and being a hero, it seems.]

[blessedbyfarore]

I guess so, huh? I don't know a lot about Hyrule - maybe I can learn a lot about here, instead.


((OOC: Oh, huh, neat! Different to LJ, then XD))

[clairvoyancies]

... "Hyrule" is where you are from, correct? [That's what she assumed--] You don't know much about your own home world?

[Strange. Perhaps there's a reason for it.]

((OOC: haa, yep- it's better!))

[blessedbyfarore]

Uh huh. And I know all about the forest! But I only left it a few months before I came here. [He shrugs a little. Okay, granted, seven years ago, but he did spend most of that time asleep...]

[clairvoyancies]

Ah. I see.

[There's forest here, too. Down here, up on the island--Vatheon works in mysterious ways. She never has figured out how the ones down in the city survive, with such limited sun.

But that doesn't seem important now.]

Then, perhaps Zelda could tell you about it. [He did say they were from the same world...]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Magic?]

That's a good idea. When I see her tomorrow - [try closer to five days, Link -] I'll ask her.

[clairvoyancies]

[...She nods! Feeling like she somehow inadvertently contributed something useful, though it wasn't really intentional.

Magic indeed.]

It will be better to know, even if you aren't there anymore. Her insight may prove valuable.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Hey, she's given him a sense of curiosity, at least!]

Uh huh. Even if I don't go back - [Slight pause, there -] it'd still be good to find out.

[clairvoyancies]

Well, then.

I hope she will provide. [After all, she doesn't really know how much Zelda knows, either.] Perhaps the next time we meet, you will have a story to tell.

[blessedbyfarore]

Me too. And sure, I can tell you all about it! [Has he just made a friend? ...Neat.]

[clairvoyancies]

[Very neat. It's still a new feeling for her too, actually. Reaching out is kind of awkward for her, so...]

I look forward to it. Do take care of yourself, until then.

[or let Zelda baby you, it's okay she won't judge]

[blessedbyfarore]

Yeah - you too! [And he'll end the conversation there, feeling rather pleased with himself.]

[Zelda he's not going to set the kitchen on fire, really! ...That's the other Link's job.]
