Video | Fellowship of Animus: It's still a thing.

[sageprincess]

[She wishes they could wait, give those who have just returned from the Tower's latest trial time to recover. But if the administrators are going to continually interfere like this, then time is of the essence.

The feed clicks on to show a very businesslike Princess of Hyrule.]

Near the end of May, myself, Gandalf, Fi, and Xion approached several of you regarding the creation of an organized effort to gain a greater understanding of this place and the administrators that control it, as well as finding a way to return to our homeworlds as we remember them. ... Unfortunately, progress has been delayed since then due to interference by those same administrators.

But no longer.

In one week's time, we shall be holding a council to discuss productive-- [i.e. not killing everyone, Goddesses above] --means of dealing with our current situation. If you wish to join such an effort, and are willing to debate such things in a peaceful manner, then you are welcome to attend.

If you require further details, please contact one of us four.

Thank you for your time.

[But she pauses, and then--]

... To those who were victim to our captors' latest trial: it will be... understandable should you wish to rest and regain your strength instead. I will see to it that you are informed of the results of the council, if you are still interested in it.

[Intimidating, daunting, terrifying...yeah he's something else. Prickly, too, but that's only while you get to know him. ...Granted that's also hard.

But at least Zack's not quite so prickly; see? He's already nodding and smiling normally again.]

Hey, it's the least I can do. You guys are doing all this work to get us organized, and I...well, I'm better at fighting. Might as well make myself useful, right?

Defenders are no less important than organizers or researchers, especially in a place such as this. Even if you say it is not much, I am still grateful.

[And she means it, really. If someone would have told her she was going to be heading such and effort, and so many people without any connection to Hyrule would actually follow her, she'd be in disbelief, to say the least.

In a way, she still can't quite believe it all.]

But I do not believe I ever got your name, sir...?

[Well, considering they're all here and have been told their worlds are gone, following someone who seems to know what they're doing is a good thing. A little stability never hurt anyone.

And besides. They have to help each other somehow.]

Zack Fair. Just Zack, though. You don't have to add sir or mister or anything to it. [pause and a headtilt] How about you? What's your name?

[sageprincess]

[She bows her head slightly in greeting.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, then, Zack. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. [...] But, ah... excessive formalities are not necessary if you do not care for them. Everyone is trapped in the same situation here, after all.

[A nod, then:] Princess, huh? Like in the storybooks and stuff? [Grin.] I gotta say, I've never met a princess before.

[Yuffie doesn't count. Nope. Not at all.]

[sageprincess]

Ah, well. I cannot say I am much like the princesses one finds in fairy tales-- [No, those don't have nearly as much crossdressing.] --but I will try not to disappoint.

[pauldrons]

I don't think you've got to worry much about that, really. [Hey, the fairy-tale princesses could have benefited from the crossdressing. Those gowns don't seem easy to run in.] I mean, you're pulling people together. That counts for a lot around here, I think.
