Video - return of the paranoid princess

[Zelda doesn't have a smile for the network today. She looks stern, with more than a little worry just underneath the surface.]

Hello, Vatheon. I will keep this brief. As I'm sure you have all noticed by now, the coral's condition is continuing to decline. The barrier has begun to show the effects of this. The village up on the island has been fully restored, and I would recommend that you all evacuate as soon as possible. At the very least, please keep your tunics nearby.

In a few days measures will be taken to attempt to strengthen the coral again, but they are experimental. I would greatly prefer it if everyone had moved safely to the island by then. Thank you for your time.

[Interesting. A priest? She thinks she remembers seeing a post about him having blessed the ocean awhile back...]

First and foremost I am concerned with getting people who do not wish to be endangered out of the city. If you could do your best to encourage those that you know to evacuate, I would appreciate that greatly. Once the population is secure we could certainly use help in trying to fix the coral. Do you have any background in healing, energy transfer, or placing long term enchantments?

Most of the enchantments I know are for keeping out demons, not water. I have some skills as a doctor, but it's not the magical sort of healing you're looking for.

Energy transfer is something I've done before, though. I don't have as much to give, compared to others here, but I'll give everything I can if it'll help.

Doctors are needed as well. Some people cannot handle magical healing well. If you know anyone with special requirements, please tell me so that I can make accommodations for them - or if you would prefer to keep their secrets, make such accommodations on your own. If you are willing to give energy, I will get in contact with the person conducting the bulk of the energy transfer so that the effort is more organized. Does that sound all right?

Sounds good to me.

Oh yeah, I've worked with demons before. If there's any demons who get hurt by holy magic, send them my way. I have things that'll work on them without hurting them.

That is quite a relief to hear. For some demons it even burns if I touch them, so I'm at a loss for how to handle them.

[She smiles politely, inclining her head to the camera.]

My name is Zelda, by the way. I look forward to working with you.

[It helps that his own son is one of those demons, he had to learn pretty quick what healed him and what hurt him.]

I'm Shiro. Don't hesitate to call, I'm going to stay down here and help, so I'll be nearby.

[She already knew his name since Rin's mentioned him before and she put the pieces together when she saw their "broke the ocean" video, but it's still nice to be properly introduced.]

I won't. Do you stay with Rin?

I do, actually. He's my son.

[There's not a physical resemblance between Shiro and Rin, but the way Shiro talks about Rin should be enough to indicate a familial bond of some sort.]

He has mentioned you before. It's good to finally meet you. There are a lot of children in that house, aren't there? Please make sure they get out safely.

Don't worry, I've got it.

[Though actually getting them to listen is going to be the hard part.]

[From what she knows of Rin, it's going to be very difficult to get him to go up to the island. Still, this man is his father, he would know him better.]

Very well. I'll be in contact with you soon.
