From: Metis
Date: October 29

[It is after a great deal of trial and error that a video feed pops up on the network. Zelda's grasp on modern technology is still limited at best, but this is apparently important enough to try.]

Excuse me, but would anyone happen to know what this is for?

["This" being a very summer-y hawaiian shirt currently laid out upon what appears to be her dining room table. And there will be no reprieve from it's tourist-y glow for anyone wanting it; the Princess of Hyrule does not know you can flip the camera around on a phone, so the feed is sticking right where it is on the garment as she speaks.]

It was at my temple steps this morning, but without any notes outside of being addressed to me. I am... not certain what to make of it, honestly.

[To say the least.]

...I suppose that's true. These could be worse, if you wanted to think of it that way.

[Really, they could. But they're....bright, but not that bad? at least in his eyes.]

Still, any idea yet on who sent them? Also did anyone else get more than one shirt?

[Aka, did anyone else get a matching set? Because so far he and Mai seem to be the outliers on that.]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

[Well, he'd sure LIKE to look at Zelda, but he accepts he's pretty short on options at the moment for that.]

Then our mission is clear! We'll acquire some clothing for you. Or at least, I'll advise you.

[He may have some selfish motives here, but he also has every intention of making sure that she looks good and has the freedom and comfort necessary to fight in whatever she chooses.]

[revolutionfalcon]

I asked Archer in the end, since he looked like he knew. I'm not surprised, since Caster's an idiot.

[Knowledgeable about magic, but a bit of an idiot in terms of behaviour, as far as Shun's concerned.]

[revolutionfalcon]

I barely know what people call considerate and even I wouldn't call that considerate.

I'm not going to stop you making yourself look like an idiot for revenge if you want to. But I doubt it's going to work as well as you seem to think.

[roundtablerebel]

A joke, huh?

[ Sending someone an ugly shirt as a joke? She'll have to remember that. ]

So how are you gonna retaliate?

1/2

[boneofsword]

[Wait, what--]

A-are you alright, princess?

2/2

[boneofsword]

[...right.]

...well, his ideas are outdated by at least two millenia.

[boneofsword]

I never said I'm very considerate.

I know him, and I can assure you that it worked pretty well.

[unlucky7]

Don't worry, it wasn't a serious offer.

I don't think I'll ever wear it, but there's a strange charm to it the longer I look at it.

[revolutionfalcon]

So basically he's both bad at taking a hint and bad at having the rug pulled out from under him. Makes me wonder what the hell the point of doing this in the first place was.

[sageprincess]

[And somehow Zelda felt like she has unleashed something terrible upon the far shore--]

Hmm... I admit I have not thought that far ahead yet. [And her sense of humor is kind of... nonexistent, so.] Do you have a suggestion?

[You seem very feisty, Mordred, surely you have something already rattling in that brain of yours.]

[sageprincess]

[They definitely could be worse, judging by the other responses Zelda has gotten, but that's something she's just gonna let pass without much comment because this is ridiculous, really.]

I have not heard tell of anyone else in your... unique position, but then not everyone checks this "network" very often. [Optimism? Kind of?] And, I... may have some ideas as to who is behind all this, but nothing that has been confirmed as of yet.

[It may as well be confirmed, but she's trying to spare some embarrassment here.]

[sageprincess]

So are mine by this world's standards...!

[Sort of. Not having the same calendar means who knows how Hyrule actually compares to Earth timeline-wise, but at the very least she can relate to the "what is all this modern bullshit" feeling. But she's not going around dumping tacky clothes on doorsteps.

Her voice loses its muffled quality when she continues; apparently, she's managed to pick her head up from her momentary ridiculousness-induced despair.]

My apologies, I did not intend to alarm you.

[light_of_willpower]

[Did you have to put it that way Zelda? Seriously, he was trying to be casual. There's a sigh, and fingers raking through his bangs in annoyance.]

If you decide to share that idea, I know I'd be interested in finding out the person's reasoning. Why single us out? Why do this at all, really?

[Even if Trunks doesn't really think the shirts are that bad, as far as random gifts?]

[sageprincess]

Do you really know that much about the ladies' fashion of this world?

[my dude you wear a cape on the regular she is a little uncertain about taking your advice if "blending in" is the goal]

[sageprincess]

Masquerades are mostly dancing, correct?

[There is uncertainty here, and Hibiki will know where it stems from.]

I must admit I have not felt quite up to the task lately for parties and the like. [Again, for reasons Hibiki is aware of.] But... should you truly want me there, I suppose I could stop by for a little while.

[sageprincess]

These colors, you say... I suppose each one might not be so bad on its own.

[But all together is... ehhhh.]

Unfortunately, I am not certain who is behind this, so their intentions are lost on me, for the time being.

[sageprincess]

Yes, but at least he is a mostly harmless idiot.

[She has some more complicated feelings than that, but that's the truth right there.]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I've seen a few things, but really, isn't the important thing that you like it?

[We're worried about blending in since when now?]

[sageprincess]

[A lot like Caster himself, then.]

I believe I might just take up another's suggestion and have mine made into a pillow, should you need ideas as to what to do with yours.

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki nods. ] I'll be performing. It's a very special number, and I'd be honored for you to witness it.

[ See? Not much dancing on your end. You get to watch her dance instead. She takes your needs into consideration, as well a Prince should.

Plus.... ]

Look for me afterwards.

[unlucky7]

That's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

[Makes it all the easier to throw at Caster too.]

[revolutionfalcon]

A mostly harmless idiot is still an idiot, and still annoying to deal with.

[Shun isn't the sort to just let idiots be idiots with no repercussions.]

[boneofsword]

Perhaps he wanted to amuse you by such frivolous gift, and sending you a photo of him wearing such would be met with a frown. You're being predictable by being grumpy.

[smilingbullet]

Only on their own?

[ He quite likes it combined. ]

So I guess either you'll have to play the guessing game, or detective.
