Investigate all the things!
Characters: Naoto and YOU.
Setting: Starting in room 2-03 and then wandering about the tower!
Format: Prefer brackets because I'm lazy, but I'll match.
Summary: DID SOMEONE SAY GIRLS? Because I'm totally a boy, just so you know.
Warnings: None that I can think of!
A. Room 2-03
[Naoto was sick. Very sick. Sick to the point that her days had become nothing more than hazy moments of lucidity while the fever continued to wreck havoc on her body. Stasis was no longer an option, is was a necessity and her confusion upon waking was more than understandable. The sleep paralysis was unnerving, her eyes darted around the room, taking in every inch that she could see from her current position. This was not Sphere, she knew that much, and she doubted that she was in Inaba. This room did not remotely resemble anything from home.
As soon as she was able to move she was up and looking around. The letter next to her bed caught her eye first and she sat back down to read through it. The news did not come as much of a shock to her considering Sphere had told her much of the same -- not so much that the world was destroyed completely, but that the world had succumbed to the virus and fell into ruins. What did come as a surprise was her current state of dress. The jumpsuit would not do. Next on the list: FIND APPROPRIATE CLOTHING.
This proved to be easier than expected as the trunk by the foot of her bed contained clothing from home. She was pleasantly surprised to find her revolver and some ammunition along with some other items that she had not seen in quite some time. She changed as quickly as possible, immediately feeling more at ease now that she was no longer in a skintight garment.
She searched through her trunk once more, pulling out a small notepad and a pen small enough to fit in her pocket and holstered her gun. TIME TO INVESTIGATE.]
B. Around the tower
[Naoto has started his investigation and can be found wandering the various floors observing and taking notes. He's pretty occupied, but you may find him heading in your direction to speak with you.]
Excuse me, do you have a moment to answer a few questions?

A TRAP YOU SAY?]Then I'll be brief. [he extends his hand. MANNERS.] I'm Detective Naoto Shirogane. I've only recently arrived and have been spending my time collecting information from some of the other residents to better understand the tower. Anything you can tell me about it would be appreciated. [He needs to cross-reference his cross-references after all. :|]

[ ... Link just tilts her head at the extended hand, entirely unaware of social customs. This is unfortunately also quite obvious when Naoto mentions being a detective.
Okay, she just has to ask what that is. ]
... I apologize, but... I have never heard of the title "detective".
[ Was it some sort of royal title? Like King or Princess? She has no idea. ]
no subject
A detective is member of the police force or a private investigator whose function is to obtain information and evidence to solve crimes and assist in bringing those who break the law to justice.
I find it curious that you've never heard the term before. Where are you from?
no subject
You bring the evil to justice... then we are similar.
[ Sounds like an idea she can get behind, anyway. As for where she's from, well... there is a slight pause. She supposes it doesn't hurt to tell him. ]
If you mean my kingdom... I suppose that would be Hyrule, though my home is the Kokiri forest near it's border.

no subject
... Truthfully, it wasn't until recently that I even left where I had lived or knew of the outside world.
[ She looks thoughtful for a moment, but in no way does the fact she was raised by a giant, sentient tree sound odd to her, even in her mind. ]
We had always been told by the Great Deku Tree, our guardian, that leaving the woods would result in death...
no subject
no subject
[ Yes, Naoto, it is a tree. She pauses, feeling a bit awkward. Clearly this is just not her strong point, and the idea of talking to someone makes her uncomfortable, but... she is sure it will be okay? ]
... Though I was told I had parents at one point, my mother had to leave me in his care before she died. ... I'm not entirely sure how that would work for you humans, as I am Hylian by birth and Kokiri by raising, but no, it was not a title. He was the deity left by the Goddesses to take care of our forest. I... suppose for a lack of a better word, he would have been a tree, yes.
no subject
If Naoto had not had previous experience with people from other worlds -- ones so different from his own -- he would not be quite as accepting of all of this.]
A fairy partner? They exist in your world? For one unaccustomed to answering questions I would say you were handling this conversation very well.
[He's quiet for a moment as he considers this]
Deities do not manifest themselves in that way in my world and quite honestly we do not have an equivalent of what you are describing. If a child's parents pass away close family members can be granted custody or they may be adopted by another family altogether.
no subject
Yes, they do. Is that... uncommon?
[ ... I'm so sorry Naoto this girl was raised in a place where no one had family or even knew what it meant. Would you like to explain what a family member is. ]
I apologize, but... I really have no idea what you mean by family. There is a lot I don't know about the outside world.
[ She heard "mother" and "father" from the Deku Tree Sprout, okay sure, but... ahahaha yeah she actually doesn't GET what it is. ]
no subject
[... Enjoy your very textbook explanation, Link.]
Parents, one's mother and father, are what you would call family. Immediate family, specifically. Brothers and sisters, those born to the same pair of parents is also immediate family. Extended family would be aunts and uncles -- sisters and brothers of one's parents -- as well as cousins, which is the name given to their children.
There are, of course, grandparents as well -- the mother and father of one's own parents.
no subject
... How strange. That seems like a lot to remember...
[ Not that she couldn't, but it's totally foreign to her. ]
Someone told me I was their "sworn Brother" once. ... I suppose that was what he meant.
no subject
I'm sure it was. In many ways family is a concept. One does not have to be related by blood to consider them family.
no subject
... You are very insightful as well as patient with me, Detective Naoto Shirogane.
[ ... Yup, full. Title. She doesn't know any better hahahaha. ]
I'm grateful. I only hope I can be of more assistance than this, unless you really want to know more about my experiences.
