Week 13.

WEEK 13

The trip to Celestic Town is an unconventional one, though it's infinitely faster than walking and doesn't leave everyone feeling woozy in the same way that teleportation does. The town itself is a small one, though it's scenic, and there's a sort of beauty to it that's very rustic in nature; it's surrounded on both sides by mountainous routes that you're welcome to go on to both the west and the east, though it wouldn't be recommended that you venture too far out, seeing as they can be on the dangerous side for those who are unfamiliar with them.

It seems Cynthia was right about one thing - there was certainly an incident at Lake Verity that went off almost as soon as you left, another of those deep pulses echoing through the surrounding area; it seems that whatever Mesprit did can be felt by the region as a whole, given that Celestic Town and the surrounding areas seem to have been affected as well despite being so far east of the lake.

Cynthia herself can be found throughout the town for the duration, should anyone want to speak to her. Sometimes when left to her own devices, she can be seen in the company of a little girl who looks very similar to herself; sometimes she's with a pair of people much older. Either way, the family resemblance is strong.

Lucas is here as well; he's still willing to speak to anyone that wants to, though he seems a bit subdued.

Either way, it's been a long, harrowing trip so far; hopefully spending some time here will help to rejuvenate you.

CURRENT LOCATION: CELESTIC TOWN

[Michael gives her a toothy smile that's more like a grimace.]

I just - what gives it the right to ask us questions like that? We'd only just met. We hadn't met.
hyruglyphics: (more expressive!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-08 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ She... hums ]

To be truthful, I found no question asked of me overly invasive. ... But as to its right? Only the right afford to a - well, a "higher being," to use that terminology you abandoned.

[ to it's a dubious claim. ]
eudaimonikos: (fear and trembling)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-08 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, because that's a great justification.

[Didn't he like, just go through how he realized that wasn't actually the greatest viewpoint?]

Anyway, I'm also an eternal being. I'm on par with it, it might as well be some jackass cornering me at an office party.
hyruglyphics: (temp icons)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-08 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mmm ]

It isn't, when you spell it out like that. But it seems to me that... well, it just wanted to know us in a way it understood.
eudaimonikos: (that's guided to you)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-09 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Lots of stuff I'd like to know. I'm not asking everyone invasive questions.
hyruglyphics: (Written off as less than worthless)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-10 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . Hmmm. ]

Well, what would you like to know?
eudaimonikos: (I got dreams of my own)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-10 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[Oh, uh, he wasn't exactly expecting to be asked.]

Oh, well - [He could say that there's nothing really, but he immediately thinks of something, so] - I'm sure we don't need to do that.
hyruglyphics: (I refuse to be forgotten)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-15 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What I offered for Meprit was what I was willing to give. But Meprit isn't someone I know well... you're much more my friend than them, Michael. And so I don't have much to hide.

[ And she didn't find any of the questions she got invasive. ]
eudaimonikos: (being realistic about reasons)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-15 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Michael still hesitates, looking down at his hands. He's not a person known for his incredible tact and social grace, so if he's elected not to broach the topic...]

Are you really okay with your reincarnation thing?

[He might have brushed it off in the end, way back when they discussed that, but he clearly thought more of it than he'd let on.]
hyruglyphics: (Pi'll clean up some more)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-16 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What a question? She remembers their discussion from back then, but her answer, as she pats one the boulders on the Onix they're on... ]

Yes? I believe so, yes.
eudaimonikos: (an essay concerning human understanding)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-16 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? Because I could take a look at it for you, if you wanted. After all this, when I'm more...

[He gestures vaguely. Just seems like "more".]
hyruglyphics: (but will I fix all the)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-17 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm certain.

[ Zelda smiles softly, brushing her hand over the craggy stone of Bosphoramus. Had she ever left the impression she wasn't a fan of it? Maybe she had...? She hums a little and then tries to explain. ]

When I die, I shall have lived my life. Though the soul I have shall no doubt continue onward, that too is for Hyrule's prosperity - I don't have a need to greedily reach for more than that.
eudaimonikos: (make it on the list)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-17 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's greedy not to want to be part of some kind of horrifying eternal soul-amalgamation.
hyruglyphics: (Written off as less than worthless)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-18 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks, taken aback in this moment as she looks down at him - ]

... Does it seem that way, to you?
eudaimonikos: (the republic)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-18 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. You don't even get to own your own soul, you're just on some weird awful timeshare.
hyruglyphics: (some other icons might be there)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-21 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ah? ]

It is a legacy and an inheritance - something to ensure that Hyrule shall always prosper. In that regard, I am proud to have done my part.
eudaimonikos: (a theory of justice)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Gross.

[Is his immediate reaction. Super gross.]

You know, plenty of countries get along just fine without cursing their leaders. Eternal suffering is very much not a requirement.
hyruglyphics: (But Pi does slave labor)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-23 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

-- Michael it. It is not a curse. It is a blessing - a gift.

[ She believes that - or at least wants to - despite her failure. ]
eudaimonikos: (meno)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-23 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You've talked before about how getting to rest after death would be a blessing.
hyruglyphics: (No hesitation)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-28 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . Mmm ]

For most, yes. ... To those in Hyrule, that is the true course of things. But for me, and for the others before me, for those who come after - it allows us to see our beloved kingdom through to prosperity.
eudaimonikos: (and I'll tell you that I am fine)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-28 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Michael sighs and draws his legs up so he can fold his arms on them.]

I mean, if that's what you want. I'm not gonna try to screw with your soul without permission. But I think you deserve better than being stuck like that.
hyruglyphics: (I refuse to be forgotten)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-28 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mmm ]


My truest wish is for the prosperity of my people. I can't help but imagine every single princess named Zelda throughout time and space, twilight and skies felt the same way.
eudaimonikos: (moral agency)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-29 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
There's no reason you should have to pay for that. People have to learn to take care of themselves sometime.
hyruglyphics: (might be an idea)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-09-29 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ To be honest, that's a thought she'd had in her darkest moments before. But right now, she keeps her gaze as steady as she can and... mmm... ]

They do... they do, but that cannot be - rather, I would not want to leave it at that.
eudaimonikos: (make it on the list)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-09-29 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[well Michael is just gonna keep on unwittingly playing the role of traditional demon tempter then]

You've got gods, don't you...? Sounds like their problem.
