A magical journey to doll town?

[uzuki]

Characters: Shion Uzuki, Tetra, MOMO
Setting: Dorm floors to the doll shop~
Format: WHATEVER you guys want.
Summary: Shion is going to be the worst babysitter.
Warnings: None yet.



After the incident with KOS-MOS, Shion hadn't really been sure what to do... So she had hidden herself in her room for a few days. But she couldn't mope anymore. A walk was the perfect thing to clear her head. She knew there were a lot of unpleasant places in the tower, but maybe she could find somewhere nice to relax... Somewhere that didn't already have bad memories attached to it.

So she headed through the dorm floors toward the elevator.

"Up?"

It was the logical choice, right? Get to those new floors. Shion smiled cheerfully, and started to lead the way up the way up the stairs.

"Up it is~"

And Tetra was right at her side, hand on the sword at her waist just in case something jumped out at them. After almost a year in the tower, and surprisingly without more than one death, Tetra had learned to be wary. Especially of new floors. New floors could mean new monsters, new places for enemies to hide.

Oddly, Shion seemed pretty relaxed. She knew what the tower held, and she knew that she should be vigilant in general... But she seemed to have retreated into her own denial for the moment, and was happily marching along past the familiar floors that used to lead to the dorms.

If only it was just the tower and the monsters that always left Tetra on her guard. Living in the same place as the King of Evil added to the danger, plus her new collar color due to getting her piece of her Triforce back. Her hand was still bandaged for that, like Zelda had shown her, to hide the mark.

"How long you been here?" Look at her, butchering grammar and languages at her age.

[uzuki]

"Hmm..."

Shion had to think about that, actually. Sometimes it seemed as if the days were dragging on slowly... Other times it was as if weeks had suddenly passed.

"A few months, I think. What about you?"

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Tetra takes a moment, lifting her hand and counting down and thinking over how many administrator changes she's been through. After a moment, she scowls before shrugging like it's no big deal and adjusting the sash around her waist.

"Eleven months now."

[uzuki]

"Eleven months..."

She gave a sigh, and shook her head a little disbelievingly. She supposed that if somehow it was true, and their homes were gone, being in this place was better than being destroyed. But... If it was all some cruel trick... Keeping a little girl locked up here was just too cruel. But, she tried to keep those thoughts away. There wasn't really anything she could do... yet.

"My, that's a long time. You must be really brave to handle all of this so well!"

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Well, I'm captain of a crew of pirates, I gotta be tough. And I have Princess Zelda here, she's family and she's the best, plus there were a bunch of Link's here when I first got here so they looked out for me until I got used to everything."

Tettra shrugged her shoulders, suddenly missing her friends. There weren't any Link's in the tower any more. The hylian child had gone to check all the nameplates on the dorms.

"Livin' on the Great Sea, ya learn a lot about survivin, ya know?"

[uzuki]

"Really?" She wasn't... Totally sure about that story. A child as a pirate captain? Either she was from a very different kind of world, or she was very imaginative.

But, not wanting to be rude, Shion decided to steer the conversation in another direction.

"Princess Zelda? Hm, I guess I haven't met her yet."

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Yep. My mom was captain before me so that's why I am now."

And then her mom died and the crew stuck with her because of the effect her mom had on them. And Tetra was already a lot alike her mom, there was potential there.

"She's hard to miss. Zelda holds herself like a princess and she's always dressed nice, plus she's got pointy ears like me and gold hair but she keeps hers down and proper like. I guess I kinda look like her if I was older and pale."

[uzuki]

"Oh... I see."

Well, that made a little more sense. Not that Shion knew a lot about pirates or anything, but...

ANYWAYYYY, as they had been walking and talking a few floors had passed. And when they walked into the floor filled with dolls, Shion stopped for a moment. All of those eyes staring at them... It felt strange. But not totally bad.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Not to mention that Tetra actually scared her crew sometimes with how alike her mother she was. That was probably part of the reason they stayed too, besides just how loyal they had been to their former captain.

Tetra stopped too, looking at all the dolls. She'd never really liked them herself, dolls got ruined easily and fearsome pirates didn't carry them around. Except here, she wasn't a fearsome pirate. She was a kid and heir to the royal family, the mark that proved it was sitting under the bandage on her right hand.

"Neat." She said simply before stepping further into the room to poke at one of them.
