Band 04 - When you see things through another's eyes [Video]

[shounenphelps]

[OOC: Shin has become a Zora from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Sadly, not enough official art exists of them to make good icons, so I'm just using Shin's for the duration.]

These... incidents are becoming stranger and stranger. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds this incredibly odd. At first I was worried I'd become something that could only breathe water, but thankfully that isn't the case. How else could I pray daily at the coral for Sirius's recovery?

I don't suppose this... creature I look like is native to Vatheon by chance?

I cannot say I have seen the like before...

[The young woman looks subdued, though a little curious as well.]

It's a very elegant form, however. I am somewhat reminded of certain legends from back home.

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

[And naturally Shin has no idea who the woman is, but he's polite all the same. Which is a feat when you look like that.]

May I ask what sorts of legends those are? Every culture, desert dwellers excepted, seem to have some kind of water-monster legend or another.

[wavesoakedlegs.livejournal.com]

Well... certain descriptions of kappa in the stories from home come close to your form.

[Mitsuhide taps her chin.]

Ningyo as well, perhaps more so than the kappa.

I'd thought of both as well. I would be much more upset if I'd become either, for fear of straying too far from the water, but it appears I'm capable.

At least I wasn't made completely immobile, I suppose...

[Yeah, he's been through worse and trying to play it off.]

Native to Vatheon? No.

[ Have a wood sprite peering curiously at the SFC screen. She seems to be -- floating above it? This is as odd for her as it is for you. ]

You seem to be a Zora. They come from my homeland.

I don't believe we've met before, Miss Spirit... [Yeah, be polite to the one with a clue about the situation.] Could you tell me more about these... Zora?

[Video]

[royalsheikah.livejournal.com]

I do not believe so. I am not normally a spirit, as I am guessing you are not normally a Zora. My name is Zelda.

[ She gives something of a smile. ]

Zora, as you can likely tell, are an aquatic race that live in Lake Hylia, in the land of Hyrule. They are a fairly peaceful race, and are quite known for their skill at music.

You can stay out of the water for an extended period of time, but if you are out for too long you will no doubt become uncomfortable. I would suggest taking regular dips in one of the pools.

Now if only I knew how to play an instrument! [He laughs a little] Thank you for all of that information, Zelda. My name is Shin - I'm rather fond of the water myself, so taking regular dips shouldn't be too hard. I'm just trying to get to the coral daily right now, so I'm very glad that I can.

[Video]

[royalsheikah.livejournal.com]

You are quite welcome.

Trying to get to the coral? For what reason?

[Video]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

I pray daily to Lamufao for my friend's recovery.

[Video]

[royalsheikah.livejournal.com]

I never thought of Lamufao as a spirit, but...

I suppose I could see why you would. I hope you are successful in gaining its attention.

[Video]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

What do you see Lamufao as?

[Video]

[royalsheikah.livejournal.com]

Something magical, certainly. Though I am not certain of its sentience, myself. I would more worry that it was an artifact being controlled by one of the natives here.

[Video]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Oh I see. I wasn't very clear, then. I don't think the coral itself is a spirit; I see it as an object that enshrines the... divine power governing the immediate local area, I suppose is the best way to put it.

[Video]

[royalsheikah.livejournal.com]

Now that I could certainly see. And it is the custom of your people to pray to such objects?

[ She sounds honestly curious. Divine objects such as those certainly had great power in her world, though they were not prayed to; they somehow had a tendency to be given to children to watch after more often than not. ]

[Have a teeny poncle peering at the SFC screen. You look kind of like a monster there, dude. No offense.]

What's wrong with your friend?

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

I'm still not entirely sure - I found him passed out one day. I've been caring for him at my place ever since.

[VIDEO]

[not-for-cooking.livejournal.com]

[A small frown]

Sounds serious. Do you need a hand?

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Do you know anything about medicine? He's been like this awhile...

[VIDEO]

[not-for-cooking.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head]

We used magic or the potions and remedies we bought from stores. But if you need someone to keep an eye on him while you rest...

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

You'd offer that to a complete stranger for a complete stranger? A strange-looking stranger, at that.

[VIDEO]

[OH GOD NOW YOU'VE JUST GONE AND EMBARRASSED HIM. Looking away fahs;dfkh]

We're all stuck here, aren't we? And you sound like you could use some help.

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

[LOL AWW! Shin gives a weird laugh thanks to the Zora form.]

It's fine! It's just that... normally I'm the one saying that to other people. I'm Shin Mouri, by the way. And you are?

[VIDEO]

[not-for-cooking.livejournal.com]

[Looking back at the screen] You may call me Onion Knight.

[A small pause as he tilts his head.] Is there a reason you pray at the coral?

[VIDEO]

[shounenphelps.livejournal.com]

Onion Knight it is, then. [He's heard weirder by this point, he's not about to ask.]

There is. The local deity is enshrined there - my hope is that with enough prayers and devotion, the local deity may grant my wish to restore Sirius's health.
