POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS

[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

[And a good decision from you as well, Zelda! Describing your kingdom would’ve probably gone very badly.]

The sentiments must be shared, considering the condition of this place.

[She glares at a spiderweb, some clear disgust coming off her in waves.

She sticks out a noodle hand to shake.]

Felicity Parham.

Please, call me Zelda. [She smiles courteously, but she has her guard up in this strange place, even when meeting other people. Maybe that's why doesn't seem too enthused. At least she shakes the hand!] I hope we get along,

I’m sure we will.

[At least for a while, since there are no guarantees if Zelda ever tells Felicity about her kingdom.]

[It's almost guaranteed she'll hear something about it at some point, haha]

Would you like to tell me anything about yourself?

[Meeting her fellow people trapped in here seems like a good idea!]

[Talking about herself? She thought no one would ever ask!]

Oh, sure! I live in a small town called Elmore, with my husband, Charles, and my son, Billy, and we live a fairly normal life.

[Under her breath and off to the side, she says]

Despite the annoyances in town.

I work at Chanex Inc. and I’m the president of the parents association of Elmore.

I think that’s the most important things about me. [That she’s willing to share] How about yourself?

[OH BOY IS IT TIME]

[What a quaint existence! A normal citizen, trapped in here...a mother. Zelda listens with genuine attention]

A normal life is nice. Especially being the president of a parents' organization -- your hard work must be rather appreciated.

[What is a parents' association. But yeah, being busy locking unfathomable evil for a hundred years in a ruinous castle makes you appreciate the little things in life.

Zelda isn't sure how to talk about herself. She doesn't look away, but she chooses her words carefully -- because she really hasn't done a variety of stuff in the last hundred years. It's hard to have something to tell]

I'm the princess of Hyrule, so my duty is to work for the wellbeing of everyone in the kingdom. All I have done recently is... [Oh, geez] ...is make sure our kingdom's main enemy is locked away. It doesn't give me much time to do anything else, unfortunately.

My father...that is what he would have wanted, so I have devoted myself to my duty.

Yes, most people know that I know what I’m talking about there.

[That-

...was actually vague and believable enough that Felicity can buy it. Good job, Zelda!]

Well, that’s still a valiant thing to do! To have an enemy to your entire kingdom is a big issue. I’m sure you’re making you’re father proud by making sure he’s locked up and your kingdom is safe.

[~~she’s being so nice to people WHAT IS THIS MADNESS~~]

[Wow, that has to actually be a small miracle]

Thank you. I want to think that as well.

[Hard to ask him because he's dead, but Zelda remembers him as a very supportive, doting father. Surely he would be proud of her!]

We need to get out as soon as possible so we both return home -- you to your family and association, and I to the kingdom. We don't have time to be here.

Yes. Though I trust my husband with Billy, I’d prefer to get back to them both as soon as possible, as well as make sure the parents association stays well managed.

[Cause she is not about to let anyone else take her place!]

I don’t suppose you’ve seen anything that could help us find a way out, have you?

Not yet. I was getting started, but given the state of this place, there should be a way out somewhere.

Of course, because if we were brought in here, there must be a way to get out.

[Logic always wins, right?]
