The Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival

The Watches Everyone who arrives in an unorthodox way and eventually shows up at the Coven for 'orientation', will receive a strange, watch-like device compliments of the Coven and Parliament. Miss Nessie or one of the welcome wagon crew will give characters a run-down of how to use the various functions and they are encouraged to test them out for themselves. It would be good for them to get in touch with their fellow Mirrorbound, of course! Fourth wall characters will not be able to make their own posts in the communities, so they may use this post to make "network posts" of their own by top-leveling. The log post is right over here.

Why would I care about someone seein' me or not?

[lucubrates]

[ He... really is Nier.... She stifles a laugh by raising a fist to her mouth. ]

I cannot say that I would know. Some people have that preference. I am quite used to people seeing me, personally. [ Royalty tends to get stares! ] Perhaps they are shy? That does not seem like something you would be, with how quickly you asked that question, Mr. Nier.

[okayestdad]

Yeah, I'm not that shy. And you don't need to call me mister or anything else. What's your name?

[lucubrates]

[ A blush flushes over her, reaching the tips of her ears. Her lack of manners! Gosh! ]

I am Zelda. I suppose Nier will suffice for now, yes?

[okayestdad]

It's my name so yeah. Nice to uh meet you, by the way.

[lucubrates]

It is a pleasure, Nier.

[ She clears her throat. ]

Forgive me for harping upon it, but now that I have seen your face, I do feel that there is a great deal you share with Nier. The one that I know. It reminds me of the other person with whom I share my name. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but as he is my bonded, I cannot help but want to meddle, I suppose...

[okayestdad]

Bonded? You two married?

1/hold up

[lucubrates]

[ huh ]

[lucubrates]

[ HELLO? Zelda sputters a little— ]

[lucubrates]

[ ...and looks away for a moment, cheeks red. ]

[lucubrates]

[ Her EARS are red. NO ]

[lucubrates]

[ HOW ARE YOU EXPECTED TO ANSWER THAT? ]

ok done

[lucubrates]

[ She clears her throat, squares her shoulders and remembers she is PRINCESS ZELDA OF HYRULE before locking her gaze back onto the screen. ]

The act of bonding is one in which two parties agree to bond their lives and wellness together for a mutual benefit. It is a partnership based foremost in magic, allowing a witch and a monster to master their abilities more clearly.

[ okay that does sound like marriage. ]

It is quite different from marriage.

[okayestdad]

Can't say I get it, but congrats?

[lucubrates]

[ PPPPPLEASE NO HE'S JUST GOING TO THINK THEY'RE MARRIED NOW ZELDA'S PANICKING ]

Perhaps it would be easier if I said I knighted him. He is, by all accounts, Ser Nier.

[okayestdad]

... so I should send my congratulations to him?

[lucubrates]

Your congratulations is unnecessary but if... you wish? It is not inappropriate.

[ Um. ]

I come from a long line of royalty. It is an honor, though not without it's issues.

[okayestdad]

Oh. Uh. Sorry, your majesty?

[lucubrates]

Zelda is fine.

[ This isn't Hyrule! She says, despite her username being "hrhz", short for "Her Royal Highness Zelda" ]

I was merely informing you that it is simply as it is. It would be in your interest to locate someone to bond with quickly, as well. There are adverse reactions to remaining unbonded.

[okayestdad]

I'm already married.

[lucubrates]

[ but... but she isn't married to n...nier... IS SHE? No, no. This is like when you're around Nier for too long and his airheadedness infects you. He's just saying this with such confidence that it's infectious. That's all.

...But it did have a vow ceremony? And.. UH. ]

I am not, I assure you. [ SHE"S THE ONLY ONE WITH A BRAIN HERE!! ] But what of your family? Have you seen them?

[okayestdad]

Nah.

[Not that he's expecting to. Wife's dead. Son's dead. Yonah's with the Shadowlord.]

You see a girl in nothing but her underwear, a talking book, or a skeleton with a scarf floating around?

[lucubrates]

[ .

...................

........................ ??????????????????? ]

I do not... believe such a motley crue would escape me but I shall keep an eye out for the girl in nothing but her underwear, a talking book and skeleton with a scarf floating around. Do you... require assistance otherwise?

[ Any questions?

Anything at all?

Please? ]

[okayestdad]

Don't think so.

[lucubrates]

[ Okay thats cool, she's going to go tell nier about all this now? ]

If you have need of me, I can be contacted by this username. If you happen to meet the one you share a name with, he has access to my home, as well.

[ She considers bringing up Yonah but ... she literally is going to go lay down in the back room???

What was this ]
