[The video feed turns on to the upside down face of a little boy peering directly into the camera. The view shakes wildly as he appears to be figuring out his new toy.]

Hello? Is that little light supposed to be blinking? How is even doing that...?

[There's more spinning as he finally manages to turn it right side up.]

Oh! Um, if you can hear me, hi! My name is Link. I'm here to help you all protect the city! That's why we're been brought here, right? I know I look small, but I'm good at protecting things! I promise to do my best!

I have a feeeew questions before I get started, though. I saw a fairy a little while ago! Does that mean there's a fairy fountain nearby? I would love to meet this place's Great Fairy! I bet she helps protect the city, too!

One more thing! Has anyone seen my friend, Epona? She's a horse, red with white on her hooves and mane and tail. She was with me before I woke up here, but now I can't seem to find her. If you've seen her, please tell me! I'm a little worried. Thank you!

[There's some more shaking as he fiddles with the watch.] Wait... now how do I turn it o- [And the video switches off.]

[ He didn't usually reply to network posts. The technology was novel to him, but more importantly its sheer openness still unnerved him somewhat. It just felt wrong for information to be transmitted so fast...

... but the boy's honest and straightforward mannerisms reminded Takakage of one of his brother. That, and how clueless the newest arrival seemed to be - just like how the strategist himself was just a week ago.

All in all, it prompted him to give a response.

His video log showed him seated at a table. The apartment walls visible behind him were left just as he had found them. ]

Hello, Link. I'm afraid Hinoto-Ri does not possess a 'Great Fairy', as far as I know.

[ A pause. ]

If Epona is a close friend of yours, she should be in the city somewhere. I could help you look for her, if you'd like.

ooc: I hope you don't mind me replying to your network post :'D

[reliving_days]

No Great Fairy? Then who's in charge of all the fairies?

Yeah! I hope she's okay. I tried to call her but she must've not heard me.

[thirdarrow]

Well, no one is. The fairies here act upon their own will.

Perhaps she is in another part of the city, then?

[reliving_days]

Another part? How big is this place?

[thirdarrow]

Quite large, I believe. You should be able to cross the city in a day's walking.

[reliving_days]

I didn't know cities could be that big. I better get out and start exploring!

[thirdarrow]

Indeed.

Please be careful, though - monsters roam after midnight. They will seek to kill on sight.

If you'd like, I could come with you. Just in case...

[reliving_days]

I'm sure I can handle a couple of monsters.

[Says the 12 year old.]

But I could definitely use an extra pair of eyes, since I'm new here and all.

[thirdarrow]

[ It doesn't reassure him very much. ]

I can help you, if you'd like.

The fairies? Are you kidding?

Try 'annoy the city' and you'll be a little closer to the right ballpark. Whatever you think about fairies in your world, you might want to just... throw it out the window.

[reliving_days]

Oh, I've met annoying fairies before. I guess she wasn't that annoying, but- There's gotta be some nice ones, too!

[phantom_envoy]

It's probably more trouble than it's worth to find one that's not going to pester you. Or lock you in a room somewhere with a girl.

[reliving_days]

...Faires can do that here?

[phantom_envoy]

It's not 'can' they do that, it's 'how often' will they do that? I'm hoping the answer's not 'more than once a year' or else it's going to get old pretty fast.

[reliving_days]

Well that's depressing to hear.

[phantom_envoy]

...I'm not sure I'm invested enough in fairy antics to feel depressed about it, but 'annoying's definitely up there.

[reliving_days]

It's depressing when you're used to nice fairies.

[phantom_envoy]

Well. I'm thinking the moral relativism of fairies isn't going to be your main problem while you're here...

[all_wound_up]

Um... there are fairies here, but I don't think they have a fountain.

Video

[reliving_days]

Fairy fountains are hard to find sometimes. They can be hidden underground and everything!

Video

[all_wound_up]

Really? Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough.

Video

[reliving_days]

Yup! If this city's really big, there could be lots of them, hidden right under your nose.

Video

[all_wound_up]

Wow! I never knew...

Re: Video

[reliving_days]

Hey! How about when I find one, I'll show it to you!

Video

[all_wound_up]

Really? I'd like that very much!
