Floor 3 or 19
[The libraries might as well have become a second home for Zelda with all the time she has spent there recently. Ever since Ruana (and to a lesser extent, Dax) took to the network, she has been pouring over book after book, network post after network post, trying to make sense of the things she said. Of course, any success is limited at best, and for the most part, the only fruit of her labor thus far has been a stack of notes with more questions than answers contained within.

Still, the search gives her focus and drive - things she had been terribly lacking in since... the end of June, really. And perhaps that's the most valuable thing Ruana gave her that day - not information, but a will to do more than merely endure.

In any case, if you're looking for one long-eared princess, you are most likely to find her here, surrounded by her books and notes.]


Floor 25 (For [personal profile] bow_of_the_galadhrim and maybe friends?)
[Of course, that is not to say she does nothing else with her time. Sometime before the chaos of October and everything else, Legolas said the elven swords he was having crafted for her were ready, and they could begin training. Sure, it's cold now and getting colder, but it's peaceful for the moment (well, for some definition of peaceful), and she needs to learn eventually.

So, looking more like a pirate than a princess in Tetra's mother's (her descendant's?) long coat and her hair tied up in a ribbon, she waits on the meadow floor for the Prince of Mirkwood. At least there's no snow on this floor.]


Floor 14
[And sometimes even she needs a break, though loathe she is to admit it. She doesn't frequent the media floor often - even after nearly a year's time in the Tower, most of the technology there is beyond her. But she does know how one piece of electronic machinery works (though don't ask her what it's called), thanks to a girl who's long since vanished from the tower walls. And it's that piece of machinery that's currently serenading her with the sounds of a certain British classic rock band as she curls up on a couch nearby, wrapped in the fluffy comforter she got as a "prize" for participating in Halloween's "game".

Pass by at just the right moment, and she might even appear to be asleep. Even back in Hyrule, music was always there to provide a temporary escape from life's hardships, and it's so easy to get lost in it...]


Floor 32
[And sometimes, given the high levels of stress inherent to the situation, it is necessary to take "taking a break" a little further.

Look up into the trees on the forest floor, and you might see a blur of blue and grey hopping from branch to branch, disturbing and sprinkling the snow that's accumulated there in its wake.

Investigate?]

[As much as she wanted, Jade wasn't exactly the most...ninja-esque kid around. Still, the Strider Flash Step nonsense was still a honored family tradition, so she couldn't just refute a challenge like that. For no real reason, at least.

Jumping through trees? Not her best talent. But a few hops, jumps and skips and she was at least not totally left in the dust.]

[Hm, she's young and unskilled, but there's a bit of talent there. Almost reminds the person behind the mask how they started out.

After bounding around for a few minutes, the figure stops, apparently just... settling down on a branch and waiting for the girl to catch up.]

[It took her a while, but Jade did eventually catch up with the figure, the sum of her efforts being to nearly lose her footing on one of the branches higher up in the tree and fall down to a lower one, gripping it with her arms and the bottom half of her body hanging down as she stared at the strange ninja person like she totally meant to do that.]

Tag you're it?

[This "strange ninja person" will be raising their visible eyebrow at you, Jade. Girl, what are you doin'.]

I fear the game would be over before it began, if that were the case. [Looking up at the branch she fell down from.] Where did you learn to climb?

[Don't mind her as she attempts to muster the upper-body strength that she doesn't have to pull herself up onto the branch as she speaks.]

From my bro. He had this crazy ninja-training regime and usually beat the shit outta me on the roof of our apartment during vacations. It was good for PE I guess.

[Oh, Jade...]

It hardly seems like he had taught you much about momentum, if I may say.

[Always keep moving, Impa would say. You can't be captured if they can't keep up with you.

For a brief moment, Sheik looks around the branch Jade is struggling in with a gauging eye. Then, he slides down to a slightly lower branch - one she might be able to reach if she swings just the right way.]


Rather than trying to pull yourself up, try swinging yourself down here.

He was more of a, teach by example kinda dude. [That or survival of the fittest.

Her gaze followed Sheik to the branch where he was now perched and eyed the distance. Jade'd never really been one for physics a lie, but it was worth a shot! So, she swung her legs a bit to get some movement, and released her grip on a forward swing to land on the lower branch; it wasn't the most graceful or...stable landing, but hey, she didn't fall out of the tree!]
reddeadvirtuoso: (You're REALLY used to dying.)

In my defense, there wasn't exactly a surplus of trees where I come from. Or even A tree on the entire block. [She's finally standing on the branch without risking falling over! For now! Confidence!!]

And I never got high enough in the slaving school system that taught us how physics actually fuckin' worked. Except for maybe the pains and downsides of inertia.
