[Room 1-19]

That was probably one of the most terrifying moments of her life. Legitimately terrifying. Waking up unable to move and feeling like she couldn't breath. Not knowing where she was but knowing exactly where she should be. She should be with Link. In Hyrule. Helping him kill Ganondorf.

Oh Goddesses, could he win without her using the Light Arrows to distract the Gerudo??

Tetra tried to swing herself into a comfortable position, to her arms or anything moving. When the sleep paralysis finally wear off, Tetra instinctively sucks in as much air as her lungs can hold...

And ends up throwing herself off her bed with a very loud THUMP! The jumpsuit was... Well, it was too tight and suffocating. she felt like she could hardly move it in. How was she supposed to run or jump or do anything in it? And then she spotted the letter. She tore it open without a second thought and read it over.

And read it again.

And then once more before crumpling it up with a snarl and throwing it. It was a lie! King Daphnes had wished on the Triforce to give them hope! The goddesses would never go back on a wish like that. The legends said that they had to grant the wish of whoever touched the complete Triforce. The goddesses would never destroy an entire world like that. Hyrule, yes but not their entire world. She still wasn't relaxed though, so she walked over to where the crumbled note had landed and stomped on it a couple times.

Now she felt better. Good enough to go and explore that chest of hers. She actually ended up throwing it open so fast, it almost slammed back shut on her fingers. Trying again, she looked through the top layer (ignoring the pink dress sitting pointedly on top) and tried to find her clothes... Nothing.

Dress it was then. Ew. Better than the jumpsuit though. Anything was better than the jumpsuit. Even better was the necklace that sat on top of it. A golden triangle with a piece missing out of it, an heirloom her mother had told her to guard with her life. Well... How in Din's name had that gotten there? Not that she was complaining, she felt better with the weight of it around her neck. And she felt even better when she hooked her dagger around her waist.

No, it didn't match the dress. No, she didn't care. Now she was dressed and armed, time to explore.

[Everywhere else]

Anyone passing will find a small tan child in a pink dress wandering around. She walking pretty casually, no matter how formal and gussied up she might look. She hates this dress with a passion. Thank the goddesses that she hadn't put on those stupid gloves or the tiara. Yuck.

outside of 1-19!

[cantstopme]

[Yeah he's not... going to say anything just yet.

Just going to hug and then talk later. But hugs first.
Hello, Tetra, have a little, depressed boy hugging you, yep.]

Kid!

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Whoa- WHOA! What? A little confused but, oh goddesses, he looks miserable and Tetra can't help but wrap her arms around him and hugs back. Never mind what that letter said, she didn't believe it anyway, he was here. And alive, not killed by Ganon.]

Oi, kid. What's eatin' you?

Tetra! ;3;

[cantstopme]

I...
I don't want to talk about it.

[He really is miserable, but - now it's starting to sink in that Tetra is here and that's great!

But no, it's not great. This place is terrible - she could get killed.]

... Why did this place have to bring you here?

[He didn't mean for that to come out the way it had, but he's starting to sound a little grumpy about this. But at the same time, he doesn't want to take it out on Tetra... but.
This place is so cruel. He doesn't want her here, where she can get hurt.
Or worse.

... He's still not letting go of her, though.]

Floor 5

[tempustemporum]

Hi small tan child, have a small terribly pale child.

Ienzo is looking through one of the viewing stations, probably not for the first time, though his frown is very definite; whether it's from confusion or genuine sadness isn't clear. Eventually he does pull himself away from it, and in the process, spies Tetra.

Hmm, interesting. He's never seen her before. And the dagger? Definitely doesn't suit that dress. She looks casual, but... well, again, he doesn't recognize her. And she's looking around in a way that suggests that she hasn't walked through this floor a hundred times. Surefire sign. He's seen a lot of them.

Should probably get her name and collar. Better than staring at a demented castle, anyway.

"...Have you arrived recently?"

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Eh?" Tetra glances at him, almost like she didn't notice. She didn't know him and she almost wanted to circle him to make sure he wasn't armed or anything. Waking up here, she couldn't be more careful. A lot of people disliked pirates after all.

"Yeah, guess I have. This definitely ain't the Great Sea or under it, either." Tetra crossed her arms, looking more like a tomboy every second. The dress still isn't helping. Looks like she'd have to work on looking inconspicuous though. Normally she wasn't too bad at blending in.

[tempustemporum]

"The Great Sea... that would be your home world, then?" Hey, you never know. He does have a lot of pocket space in that giant coat, there could easily be a bazooka cannon or a SCIENCE BOMB or something in there. ...Unfortunately, there isn't. SCIENCE BOMBS would be pretty cool, actually.

He takes this opportunity to walk closer to her, looking immediately to the collar he knew would be latched around her neck. Yellow, okay...

Workshop floor (DESCENDANT)

[sageprincess]

[... Link isn't here, either. Damn.

Tetra may hate the dress, but now she'll be seeing it again on a teenager who is generally presenting herself much more formally. Zelda stares at the girl for a moment, surprised, then hesitantly speaks up.]

... Tetra?

Workshop floor (ANCESTOR)

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Eh?

[That was, indeed, an eerily familiar looking dress. She actually looked at her own dress and then at the older girl. She looked a little familiar. Where had she seen her before?

...

Oh! There were portraits around the castle of her.]

Who are you?

[More suspicious that anything.]

Best descendant.

[sageprincess]

[A headtilt. Yes, seems she was right in her assumption, but such suspicion...]

... I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. My apologies for seeming presumptuous, but... I believe Link told me a bit about you.

[Really, it's quite uncanny how she looks like a perfect blend of those two figurines he showed her.]

Somewhere in the halls

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Yeah ok he still can't find Link why was this search so hard.

He was about to give up when he notices the little girl, around Sea's age. Perhaps this was the pirate he was talking about? He hesitantly walks over to her.]


...excuse me.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Double take-- wut? Why are you wearing clothes like Links', huh?]

K-kid..?

[No. No, this guys hair was darker.]

Who're you?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Okay, she is probably the pirate Sea was talking about.]

I can assure you I am not a kid.

[He smiles.]

My name is Link.

the pool!

[myblueskies]

Romeo was playing in the pool, swimming round in circles and diving under the water exploring. He liked swimming, it was really fun and a great way to keep your spirits up. And Romeo needed to keep his spirits up! He had to be brave so he could help everyone else, because everyone was so scared and sad.

Romeo was scared and sad as well, but he couldn't let it get to him! There was only one day like today after all, and they had to keep living even when the bad people hurt them!

She saw the girl and waved swimming to the edge of the pool. "Hello!"

Re: the pool!

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Oiii!" Tetra watched the swimmer, grinning. It wasn't at all like the Great Sea but water. And it was deep enough to really swim in so Tetra was already pretty happy with the find.

She was half tempted to--

Yeah, she was gonna do it. Dress and all. Tetra dove into the water.

[myblueskies]

Romeo laughed as the girl jumped into the water and swam over to her. "Are you new?" He swam around her in circles.

random hallway?

[childhero]

[When Link passes her by, at first he doesn't think anything of it.

And then he double-takes. Was that a... little Zelda?]

P-Princess?

Re: random hallway?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Tetra stops and looks Link over. This... is not her Link, something is different. Poke poke. Feels real.]

Not by choice.

[childhero]

[why is she poking him.]

Huh? [what does that even mean. what is going on.]

HALLWAYS IDK (I am not late rly)

[ocariness]

[ Hey Tetra. Have a Hero of Time. No, the real deal. Kind of amused, with their hands on their hips. Somewhat tan, not Zelda, young... hm. We're guessing... ]

... You must be Tetra.

[ Things had... gotten better, at least, in the last while, so while tired, Link is well enough to go looking for newcomers.

Though, back in the familiar green tunic now. When her Link was saying he was tall, no joke; compared to a 9 year old, at 17 year old probably towers. Especially as this one is decked out in mirror shield, master sword, and silver gauntlets, as well as blue earrings. ]

You look uncomfortable in that dress, though... didn't they give you anything else?

(Not at all <333)

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[But the Hero of Time disappeeeeeaaaared! Or something.

Oh but hey... Someone knows her name.]

Good guess.

[Looking up tall person... Hey!]

Oi! Link?

[That tunic is exactly what her Link wears. There's differences though. Like this guy is too tall. And older. And not as adorable.]

Tch, it was at the very top, I couldn't look very much. There's a bunch of charts and stuff that I have to be careful with.

(OKAY GOOD <333)

[ocariness]

[ It's funny; they're usually the shortest of the Links except when the kids get involved. This is nice. ]

One of them, yes. The Hero of Winds told me about you. ... If you want, I can make you some clothes.

[ Totally understanding that uncomfortable in dresses thing, though for reasons probably not apparent. ]

forest floor! near the stairs because safety;;

[biiirrrdsss]

[Pipit was new, but he's been shown a lot of the areas around here - and if any floor interested him the most, it was the forest floor; fauna and flora he's never seen lived there, and... well. Birds, of course.

But one thing he never thought he'd see here was a miniature of the princess he met, hmmm. ... What a cute little girl! And she seems really, really lost, too. :|a]

Ah - excuse me, miss! Are you lost, by chance?

Re: forest floor! near the stairs because safety;;

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Forests, blegh. Last time she was in one, she was hanging by a tree limb, not the best memory to have. Especially the fall that resulted.]

Uh... Yeah, I am. A little bit. Kind of.

[It's hard to admit she's lost, okay? She knows the entire sea like the back of her hand but this is totally not it.]

Floor eleven? 'cause it's purdy :B

[keybearer]

[So, Riku here was just minding his own business, trying to distract himself by the eeriness of the tower by exploring the floor and... trying not to fall down to his death. Tetra might notice that he's carrying what looks like a giant key in his hand.

But, huh, once Riku spots her, it's a little alarming. Kids can show up here, too?

Well, he'll at least try and be friendly.]

You going sightseeing?

[It's his attempt at humor. Sorta.]

Purdy indeed!

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Don't mind that she doesn't answer right away. She's just... Looking around in absolute awe. She really shouldn't be this stunned, considering she spent time in a castle under the sea but... Yeah, wow!]

H-huh?

[Turning and looking at him. The humor went over her head though, still kind of surprised at it all.]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am.
