[The feed opens to the princess a great deal of the city would be familiar with at this point, smiling and waving to the camera.]

Hello, Vatheon. I hope everyone is feeling a little more themselves after last week? I had meant to do this sooner, but circumstances prevented it. I would like to introduce you all to my ancestor, Zelda.

[With that, she zooms the camera out a bit to show another girl, practically identical to her other than the fact that she has bangs.]

Hello, Vatheon! It’s nice to meet you.

[ The girl waves energetically to the camera. She has only been in the bubble for a few weeks, but she already feels at home with her new friends. It was cute seeing everyone running around as babies, too! But, like her descendant, she’s glad everyone’s back to normal as well. ]

I apologize if this is too confusing. We’re still trying to get used to it ourselves!

[The princess' smile grows sheepish.]

It is a bit confusing since we share a name and an appearance. To help differentiate, I will be wearing my tiara again. If anyone is ever speaking to both of us at the same time, please refer to me by title - "princess" - so as to minimize any confusion. Hyrule did not yet have a royal family in Zelda's time, so we will easily be able to know who you are referring to that way.

[ The newer Zelda nods. At least she’s finally gotten to the point where she stops visibly swooning whenever “Hyrule” is mentioned. (Hey, it’s been her dream to live on the Surface for a long time, okay.) ]

Or you can call me “Sky”, as some have already dubbed me. It doesn’t matter to me either way. If there’s anything I can do to make this easier, please- don’t hesitate to ask.

[Swooning is a legitimate reaction to have over Hyrule, First Zelda.]

Yes, by all means, if you have any questions for either of us, feel free to ask! We will be happy to answer.

[She's never met a stoner before, don't spoil her happy little illusions!]

Where does it come from? I can't imagine that just any slime works.

Sopor is for what we be catchin' our daily zzz's in.

[So it probably has tranquilizing properties, then. If Gamzee is unstable and prone to rage fits, it would make sense for him to need to take something like that. Still, surely there must be something that's a little less damaging to his mind? She's no alchemist though, so she'll just have to leave it.]

I see! It is no wonder you are so relaxed, then.

Yeah.

[Hey, he's just going with what he knows works. Though there is no denying that it is a slow destruction of his brain. Ah well, who needs a brain?]

Ain't just that though, sister, fuck no. Karkat helps. Couldn't all like I wanna be without that good motherfucker keeping my sponge in check.

He regulates your dosage for you, then?

[She can't picture Karkat doing that. Of course, she's only ever seen him yelling at things on the network. Maybe he uses up all his patience trying to deal with Gamzee.

That's definitely not impossible.]

I guess. Mostly we just fuckin' keep with what knowing Wataru laid down at that.

[Why are teenagers in charge of a clown's drug-come-medication schedule, again?

And Karkat is truly the most patient of motherfuckers. He is.]

Oh, but you are growing quite quickly... perhaps someone should study the properties of sopor to ensure that you remain on the proper dosage.

[If he gives her some, she'll certainly give it a shot!]

You think? Slime is slime, right? The miracles aren't all to be gonna disappearing out from it just like that.

[But hey, if it'd make Zelda happy.]

[Oh, he seems worried...]

Well, you are probably right. I do not know much about it. I'm sure if there was a chance of that occurring, Darkleer would have already thought of it.
