hdhsjardsadhfhkjfhkvh turn on write where is the paper????? dsjakleuwoiqrysf dashf

[WHACK. Hitting the computer activates the video function. Glaring at the screen is a tan-skinned man with pointed ears, a lovely gin-blossom nose, sunken eyes, and... green hair. And he's already changed out of that weird jumpsuit and into his normal clothes. The top of his orange collar is barely visible over his red cravat.

He narrows his eyes at the screen, then down at the keyboard]

Blasted... typewriter! What kind of contraption is this! Where's the paper?! Cursed LIARS, telling me I could communicate with people using this thing!

[and now he's shaking the computer. Or trying to]

HEY!! TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK, YOU INFERNAL MACHINE!! Put me back on my ship right this instant!

[oooh! How pretty! He straightens his coat and cravat, and even gives his hair a little attention]

Well hello, miss. Is that so? What a shame!

[... Blink. Blink. Well, he calmed down quickly.]

Ah, yes. These devices are mainly used to communicate with the others who have been captured, as is evident by this conversation.

And... hello to you as well, sir.

[He put emphasis on 'hello', so!]

[pretty women do that]

I see. The kid said he was somewhere else in the tower completely... so these things are kind of like... communication portals?

So... what's your name, beautiful?

Yes, in a sense, I suppose.

[Well, this pretty woman is turning a pretty shade of pink because asdkfjg she has been crossdressing for seven years what are positive comments on her appearance.]

... I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

[~~And taken. Sort of.~~]

Princess!! Your highness! Forgive me, I didn't know. [straightening his cravat more]

That is... all right. I did not expect you to, since I am presuming you have only recently awoken here.

[There's a pause, and she glances off to the side, as if something will suddenly pop out and tell her how to deal with this situation. But, alas.]

So, ah... may I have your name in return, sir?

Yep. Just a few hours ago, by my clock! Weird place.

Oh indeed! I'm Captain Linebeck of the SS Linebeck, your highness. At your service.

And only becoming stranger...

[Zelda you deal with four Links and you think getting hit on is strange?]

I see. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, then, Captain Linebeck.

I hear tell it's just a big tower with a whole lot of nothing around it? That true?

[why is it strange YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL]

If there's anything I can do for you, just give me a shout. Eehehe.

From what we can tell, yes. Gazing out the windows reveals only clouds and fog, and we have not yet found an escape route that leads to the outside in any way.

[These are the things that happen when you spend a large chunk of your life pretending to be someone else.]

That said... thank you, though I would not wish to be a burden upon you.

[And she probably can take care of herself better than you, Captain sir.]

Well I'll find it! Yep! I'm an expert treasure hunter, and finding the exit is one of my best skills. Old Linebeck has got it covered.

[Probably but he has to be a gentleman~]

I see.

[Just the faintest smile of amusement. She has her doubts, but...]

Then I wish you the best of luck, Captain Linebeck.

Ha! I'll take that luck, but I won't need it. In just a few days, we'll be out of here.

[... Hah. Yeah, definitely doubting that. But she won't burst his spirits.]

I shall await that day with eagerness, then.
