[ There is a young girl with supaa-long purple hair peering suspiciously at a nearby painting when she makes her post. ]

Is this how you do it?

[ It's actually not too difficult to figure out the SFC. But it's not filtered to anyone in particular, even if she intended it to be to Cheria, Pascal and Hubert. ]

Is everyone okay? You have to be careful of the picture people, or they'll take you away.
I don't want to be alone.

[ Silent for a moment. That's right, still life photograph of flowers. SHE IS WATCHING YOU. OH. ]

Pascal, can you I ask you a question?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Coral? It can do that?

[ Holy crap they have so much of it back home - someone should do something about that. ]

Only the coral here, miss. The large glowing coral in the center of the plaza. It is called the Lamufao. You've seen it, yes?

Yes. It's why we were glubglubbed here? [ Hrmm... ]

Can it glubglub someone else too? If you ask it?

Glub...glub?

[Sophie, Zelda doesn't speak Pascalese...]

I... are you asking if that's what transported us here? Yes, it is. And no, we cannot control who it brings or sends home, unfortunately.

Glubglub. [ Nodnod. She finds it strange so many people react that way! But then she hangs around Pascal a lot so Pascalese is normal to her. ]

So we can't ask it to bring Asbel here if we ask it politely? Or the Captain? [ Or Richard, even though she wasn't sure he was her friend anymore? ]

Cheria and the others miss him. [ Momentarily disappointed by this revelation, she doesn't dwell on it long. Something else gets her attention, and she tilts her head curiously. ]

How come you have pointy ears? Are you an elf like Mithos?

I am afraid that the coral does not take requests. I'm sorry.

[Like Mithos? Oh, right! He'd said that he was a half-elf.]

I am a Hylian. We are similar to elves, so yes, I suppose you could say that I am one.

[ She's going to try anyway. Pascal will surely find a way. ]

Do humans hate you too?

Excuse me?

[She's quite startled. Racism isn't really a thing in Hyrule. Yes, there are people who are afraid of the Gerudo, but legitimately so - they kidnap men, after all.]

Why would someone hate me because I'm Hylian? That's... it doesn't make sense.

[ Sophie didn't understand it either, to be honest. ]

I don't know. Mithos said that all humans hate elves because they have pointy ears.

[ Well it's a bit more complicated than that, but she had difficulty understanding. ]

...Mithos is mistaken. I have never heard of such a thing. Why did he tell you that?

[Oh, Mithos... she wants to try and show him otherwise, but she can't imagine that Zelos would be pleased with her if she sought him out.]

I told him I would be his friend because none of his friends were here, and he said he had to be careful because humans hate him.

...I see.

[She can't just leave him, can she? It wouldn't be right. Zelda bites down on her lip, unsure of how to continue this conversation.]

What did he say?

Say? [ A tilt of her head. ]

He said he didn't say he didn't want to be my friend. [ Try and follow that one. ]

[That sounds pretty tsundere there, Mithos. Zelda just smiles softly.]

Hmm. Ah! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Zelda. It's good to meet you, miss.

[ Tsundere sounds pretty legit to her. ]

Hello Zelda. My name is Sophie. It's nice to meet you too.

Are you a new arrival, Sophie? I'm happy to explain what I know about Vatheon if you'd like.

Yes, I came here a few days ago.

[ Oooh, what a nice offer! She nods once. ]

Okay, thank you.

[ Is she supposed to actually ask those questions? ]

[Yes, yes she is. Zelda doesn't want to reiterate things she might already know uselessly.]

What do you already know about it?

[ HM. ]

We got glubby glubbed underwater by coral, but there's air to breathe. [ Aaand that was pretty much it. ]

That is the gist of it, yes. The people who were transported here by the coral are known as foreigners. These foreigners can be pulled from any world and time. There might even be people from your world that are from a different point in time than you are. We can be identified by the mark of Vatheon that is present on our bodies, though the location is different for everyone. If we show the mark to the natives, we will receive housing and other amenities for free. In return, we are required to touch the coral at least once a month lest we fall into a deep sleep.

[She looks a little disgruntled.]

From time to time our marks will glow, signaling the start of a curse. They last a week, and the effects vary. It can be anything from raining rubber ducks to becoming fairy tale creatures to having your thoughts displayed to the world. Are you following me so far?

[ She nods from time to time throughout the explanation. It SEEMS she understands at least. If nothing else she'll be able to parrot it back to her friends. But what's this? ]

A mark? [ She looks left, then right - not that she'd see the mark since she's fully clothed and all. ]

What are amenities? Is it food? [ Cheria will be happy to know they won't have to pay for the house they found! She falls silent again at the latter. Raining rubber ducks? Fairy Tale creatures? She doesn't understand how this is possible, but at the question, she blinks once and shakes her head. ]

I can't, I don't know where you are. I've been sitting here the entire time.

It is an expression. I was asking if you understood me or not.

[What a strange girl. Zelda undoes the top buttons of her dress, revealing the mark of Vatheon just below her collarbone.]

The mark looks like this, see?

[She'll just wait on clarifying the rest until Sophie says "yes" or "no".]

[ That's Sophie in a nutshell. ]

Oh. Okay. So you didn't have it before, but you have it now - does it hurt?

No, it doesn't hurt. You should have one on your body too.

[Should... she tell the girl to not undress in public? Surely she's old enough to know that at least.]

[ On the plus side, she is at home. Also her outfit isn't something she can easily get out of on the fly. She does tug the collar of the suit outward a bit to peer down, but she doesn't see it. It's possibly on a different part of her body. ]

Maybe it's somewhere else. I'll ask Cheria if she has one.
