Good day to you, Demeleier.

[While this same message will turn up on the network, everyone in the village will hear the message within their own heads too. The familiar (to most) feeling of the Guardian's voice reverberating inside their skulls, the words mixing themselves into the mother tongue of the listening resident.]

When you go to the Town

[forhyrule]

[ Having listened to the Guardian's words and chosen to address the materials in the Town Hall later, Zelda made the journey alone to the Temple to meet him. The Queen's words had planted seeds of doubt in the Princess's mind and Guardian's tone has caused them to take root. Rather than speak to him over the communicator, where he can so artfully keep her in complete unawares of the truth she is seeking, Zelda has decided to meet him in person. ]

[ She sits down at the frontmost pew, head lowered and eyes closed, clasping her hands in prayer beneath her chin. She had spent much of ten days in October seated at this same spot, praying to hear the familiar unspoken trill of her Goddesses. Patience brings all things to one who waits, and Zelda is certain that the Guardian will eventually stand before her. ]

[The Guardian steps out of one of the alcoves, broom in hand. He tilts his head when he sees Zelda, and leans the broom against one of the pillars.]

My lady?

[forhyrule]

My Lord. [ In one fluid motion, she stands, and nods in respectful greeting to the Guardian. There are no idle pleasantries today; no doubt he can already see that this is not a social call. ]

Every are your gifts kind, but curious.

[He gathers his chains in his arms.]

How so do you mean curious, my lady?

[unholy_rebirth]

[She stirs a little when the Guardian addresses them, still somewhat distressed from the Shadow event.]

You want us to make costumes?

[dat_guardian]

Yes.

[unholy_rebirth]

For what reason would we do this?

[dat_guardian]

I would not ask you to unless it was of some importance.

... A disguise?

[dat_guardian]

It is something of a tradition around this time of year in some worlds.

[endofdaydream]

Aren't most of us a little bit too old for that?

Do you believe children's stories were always for children?
