[Tetra's sitting at a terminal, playing a few notes on her recently acquired Spirit Flute before looking at the screen.]

So, um... It's a Ruana month. And she can be pretty awful sometimes.

[A lot of the time but Tetra's not saying that where Ruana, Jason or Riki could hear.]

There's really no way to get ready for anything that happens here so just everyone should be careful, okay?

OF COURSE NOT.

OH NO, I KEPT TRYING TO GET ZELDA AND LINK TO DATE.

NO WONDER ZELDA WAS UPSET.

...It's not that bad. I mean, it might not be common, but girls can date other girls.

[Hell, his own brother is dating another man.]

But...uh...if they didn't like each other in that way, well...yeah.

[Pout:] But Zelda can't. She's the princess of Hyrule, she has to have an heir and she can't have one of those without a guy.

[Yeah, guys who knows about the birds and the bees already.]

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

That...does sound like a problem.

[He scratches his head.]

Doesn't seem like she wants to make any heirs yet.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Not yet but she has to have them someday or I wouldn't exist.

[puppy_lancer]

...That's true. But...uh...not right now, I guess. And just because you have kids with someone doesn't mean you have to like only them. You can love more than one person.

Who you love isn't going to matter. If getting loaded was possible here, my girlfriend would be spitting out half a dozen by now.

You know Zelda's going to kill you two when she sees this.

[ALL THE KEYSMASHING EVER.]

Who are you?

I thought I filtered this.

DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER.

[midgarhorizon]

The filters aren't that hard to break.

Want to bet?

Re: text:anon

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

What, ain't you got a life? Gotta be nosy on other peoples conversations?

I will find you and end if you do.

text:anon

[midgarhorizon]

Nope! Just on this one.

I'd like to see you try, kiddo.

[Is it obvious he's all kinds of amused.]

Re: text:anon

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Freak.

Don't underestimate what my family can do.

I'm quivering in my boots.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Don't mock me!

[Reno, she will punch you in the nuts if she finds out it's you.]

[puppy_lancer]

hey, stop harassing the kid
or she's not the only one who's gonna be breaking you

text:anon

[midgarhorizon]

Take it easy, I'm just teasing the kid.

Zelda's got enough on her mind right now.

[puppy_lancer]

alright, good

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Are princesses allowed to do that?

[puppy_lancer]

Pretty much, yeah. Ones at my place were, anyways.

[Then again, the people of his time and age were...pretty free.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Really?

[Huh.]

Never knew that. Then again, nobody really thinks about the Royal Family in my time and nobody ever taught me anything about it since I think my mom was the only one that knew we were what was left of it.

[puppy_lancer]

Alright, I get it.

What happened in your time? Some new family take over your country?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

No, Hyrule was flooded a couple centuries ago. Ganondorf was able to escape from where he was sealed away and there was no Hero to save them that time. So they prayed to the goddesses who sent the people to the highest mountaintops and flooded it.

I'm the only member of the Royal Family left now. Technically, my name is Zelda too, since all the girls in the family were called Zelda, but I've been Tetra all my life. Maybe to hide me?

[puppy_lancer]

[He listens, and when he nods to show he understands, his expression is grim. The whole thing with flooding doesn't sound too pleasant.]

...Maybe it's because your Mom thought you were special? Just because everyone else was a Zelda, doesn't mean you have to be just another Zelda too.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Maybe but we'll never really know. And it's not like I'd be just another one, I'm pretty spectacular if I say so myself.

[Tetra plz.]

[puppy_lancer]

Of course. You're a tough little pirate not afraid to prank the King of Evil. I'd say that's spectacular.
