Video: Dopplegangers (Filtered from Dark Link)

[Zelda turns on the feed, looking worn. She's covered up the red around her eyes with makeup (though not all that well), and she's avoiding looking directly at the camera.]

Some of you may have had your houses broken into on the night of the New Year's party. I apologize deeply for the behavior of the man who did it, he is from my world.

I need your help. Anyone's help, really. That man is a magical construct created by my worst enemy. I estimate that he was created a short while ago, no more than a year's time. If his master were present I would say that he is a puppet and needs to be disposed of, but his continued existence without Ganondorf here to maintain the spell suggests that he has a consciousness of his own. I don't know for certain what his intentions are, but a preliminary scan showed that he has little to no direction.

[She puts her head in her hands.]

He is currently convinced that he is Link...

[She can't go on. She turns off the feed, but she'll answer anyone who calls her. Really, anyone. She's completely at a loss for what to do.]

[Someone to watch the coral in case Ganondorf shows up after all? Someone to watch her in case that happens? Just company in general? Zelda is far too uptight to ask for any of those things, but it sounds like she appreciates the offer nonetheless.]

Don't be silly. It's customary to thank someone when you feel grateful, regardless of if there was a previous arrangement or not.

[This one comes much later - Shizuo has been debating whether or not he should offer for some time now, because this is new territory, still, and he's all around unsure if he's going about it the right way.]

Um, do you want to do something? To just...not think about things for a while? Like...

[Pause. He doesn't know!]

The park? Or anywhere.

[He wants to help, somehow, even if there's no one for him to beat up, and besides, he likes Zelda.]

[It's a good thing she can control what he hears or doesn't hear, because that elicits a giggle. Oh, she shouldn't laugh, she was just as awkward, but it was funny!]

I would like that very much. The park sounds lovely. Shall I bring some tea?

[He's glad that she agreed, and feels a little more comfortable now.]

Sure. That'd be nice.

[zelda_hylia]

I will meet you there soon, then. Does an hour and a half from now sound alright?

[Sorry Shizuo, that's soon in girl-time. She needs to take a bath and fix her hair and do her best to cover up the train wreck that she's become since Dark Link rolled into town.]

[a_violent_end]

Yeah, sounds good. I'll be there.

[It's okay. He'll wait!]
