[another person! less wary now, slows down and walks up] Um... hi.

[lamb_of_gold]

I take it you're new here?

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm Link. [puts his sword and shield away]

[lamb_of_gold]

I am Mu. Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but uh... why am I here?

[lamb_of_gold]

All I know is that we've been gathered here for some grand experiment. I do not know the nature of it, or the reasoning behind it - only that it exists and is currently being rather difficult.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

An experiment? [surprised - really was not expecting that answer] Who's doing the experimenting? Those twins in the shop, and that... Meridith Sault?

[lamb_of_gold]

As far as I know. They're hardly forthcoming with answers.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

I see. Has anyone been hurt?

[lamb_of_gold]

Yes, but they were healed. More alarming, I've heard that several people here have died...but the Twins have reversed it.

[is actually kind of used to that - still, this is pretty confusing] ...This is really weird. And my fairy is gone, too.

[lamb_of_gold]

It is...[blinks again] Fairy?

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

[brightens a bit] Yeah, my fairy. Navi. She's always with me, but I don't see her now. I guess she can't come here... [slumps somewhat] I can really leave whenever I feel like it, right?

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah, a companion?

You certainly can. It takes only a thou--

*poof*
...
...
...
*Poof*

Only a thought. Forgive me. That happens every time I explain it.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[amused, though it doesn't show very much] That's okay. Let me try...

[sure enough, pops out. It takes a few seconds before he pops back, though] Someone else told me time doesn't pass back home while I'm here. I guess they're right - Navi didn't notice I was gone at all.

[lamb_of_gold]

If this place has one good thing about it, that's it.

[Finally getting a good look at everything you've got on] I do think you're the first from your world here.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be surprised. [scratches his ear, a tad embarrassed but hiding it well] I do a lot of unusual things.

[lamb_of_gold]

My life is hardly usual. I doubt yours is any more bizarre.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Maybe? Wait, but - world? So there's lots of different people here...

[lamb_of_gold]

And we're all from different planes of existence. More than that, really, for there are two people here that are from my world, but have different recollections of certain events than I do. One of them is even from several years after myself and the other.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

That kind of makes sense, if time runs here differently.

[lamb_of_gold]

It does, but that makes it no less unnerving.

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Time running funny... I'm kinda used to that.

[lamb_of_gold]

Oh?

[fairyboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it um... I'm the Hero of Time. [figures that's easiest way to explain.]
