Love Me Girl In A Fairy Land - OTA

Who: Kyoko and whomever!
What: Trying to figure things out
When: right after arrival,
Where: the lake where they arrived
Warnings: Extreme mood swings, angst

Kyoko pulled herself out of the water and collapsed against the shore for a moment, her work jumpsuit was so bright pink that it was impossible to ignore. People had tried. People had failed. The pink was even called a curse that burned itself into your eyes that you could never forget. It wasn't magic. It was just that obnoxious an intensity of pink.

She rolled over onto her back, confused. "Where am I?" she asked and pushed herself up. She patted herself down, and realizing she was soaked, she panicked and checked the white pouch on her hip. Because she had been doing Love Me work she didn't have her usual bag - sorry, Erika, yes she reuses the same bag for months at a time - everything was shoved into her pouch. grudge spirit was clinging over it, and thankfully everything that had been in there was dry. The spirit floated off a bit with a rolled up magazine, protecting it.

She blinked at the odd behaviour, then shrugged and dug through the pouch. Some of her curse dolls, good. But for once not her priority. She found the small coin pouch and breathed easily. She opened it and poured out a small translucent blue-purple stone and a tiny pink crystal in a gold setting on a necklace chain. She cradled both to her face, relieved. "Corn! Princess Rosa! You're safe!" Give her a moment and she'll notice the two club like things on her other hip...

Zelda coughed a bit as she too washed up on the shore with the help of her familiar, a large cat-like creature that seemed to grin somewhat nefariously as it dropped the princess's shirt collar and rose to stand on two legs; before nonchalantly walking away and disappearing after a few steps.

"That was... odd..." she commented once she had caught her breath, though she was grateful none the less. She could tell that that wouldn't be the last she would see of the feline, as she had felt a strange sort of connection other than the one they had while the creature was dragging her ashore.

Green eyes scanned the area, and spotted the pink-clad figure, curious but not offended in the least by the coloring of her attire. Zelda frowned momentarily when she noticed the brief hesitation on the other girl's part, speaking up before observing the visible relaxation at the discovery of the two jewels.

"Are you all right?" she asked, blinking a couple times at the strange statement regarding 'Corn, and Princess Rosa' that followed.

Without looking at the speaker at first, Kyoko put the things back into the coin pouch, then back into the hip pack. She put everything else besides the magazine in there. That could dry. "Just a little wet and confused and," finally done she looked up to Zelda and her mouth got stuck partway open as her eyes got larger and larger. She started to almost vibrate before she could finally speak in a breathless squeak "are you an elf?" she asked like a kid asking if the largest gift under the tree was actually for her at Christmas. She was pretty sure the girl wasn't a fairy, because she'd met a fairy and he didn't have pointed ears. She could be a demon, maybe? But even that was more exciting than terrifying. Nothing supernatural had ever harmed her or lied to her or led her astray, that was all humans. But she hadn't seen any fairies besides Corn. And this girl was pretty enough almost to be Princess Rosa herself!

It was Zelda's turn to blink confusedly. For one, she was not used to being addressed so informally, and secondly, was this girl crazy? How could she confuse a Hylian, especially this Hylian with an...elf? Whatever that was.

Had the encounter taken place a few months prior, Zelda would have most certainly taken offense and scolded the other girl for not recognizing her Princess, and possibly insulting her as well. But she had since then became a bit more humble in her interactions, and less judgemental. (That didn't mean she was necessarily good at casual social meetings. She really didn't have any friends her own age that didn't double as subjects.)

Oh... right... She had somehow been transported to a different world entirely. It was possible that nobody here would know who she was. Perhaps that would prove to be a good thing? Her brows creased as the realization dawned on her.

Not being burdened with a responsibly that seemed hopeless, as she tried time and time again (from a young age) as to no avail, to awaken a power hidden within her? Just because she had been born into the royal family and was destined to seal away the ancient evil, Calamity Ganon? Well, that thought actually brought her a measure of comfort; though she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for entertaining such a selfish idea.

In any case, it couldn't be helped, and so she turned her attention back to the girl, studying her a bit as well.

"Hmmm..." the princess thought. It suddenly made even more sense why this girl wasn't familiar at all with her liniage, but the full extent of the situation only just now became apparent. The girl before her wasn't even from the same world! She was neither Hylian, nor Zora, Goron, Rito, or even Gerudo (though she did share a similar hair color to the all-female desert dwelling race). Her most noteable feature however, happened to be the exact same thing that had drawn her attention to the princess herself! Her ears appeared to be shortened!

Zelda stared curiously before she returned to her senses and realized she was being rather rude. She shook her head in response.

"I am sorry. I am not familiar with what an 'elf' is. I am Zelda Nayru Bosphoramos Hyrule, Princess and Heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hyrule." To anyone else, the introduction would have seemed rather convoluded and unnecessary, but Zelda really had no idea how to introduce herself otherwise. She smiled warmly.

"And you are?"

Edited 2020-11-13 14:08 (UTC)

Kyoko usually went off into her thoughts for a while, so she patiently waited for the other woman to speak. Of course in that time, Kyoko had been building her own ever more elaborate fantasies for what kind of elf this woman might be. So when the first words were spoken, Kyoko slumped, devastated and destroyed. Maybe elves were not as amazing as faries, but they were still magical and wonderful.

But she listened when the other gave her name, because it was polite, and Kyoko tried very hard to be polite. Came from growing up in an Inn. And then woking in various food services jobs. So she listened attentively, memorizing the rather odd and long name. But then the word princess struck her and her eyes went huge again. Princess. Heir to a throne. In a kingdom.

"You're... you're a princess? An actual living breathing princess?" she asked, amazed and awed. She tried to stand and couldn't. She was trembling, staring, with the largest smile anyone had ever worn.

"Oh! Are you allright?" Her immediate reaction was to try to stand and reach a hand out to keep the other girl from falling.

However, when it was clear (somewhat?) that the girl wasn't going to hurt herself, despite her odd reaction to the introduction, Zelda relaxed a bit and sighed with relief. She was almost always more concerned with the welfare of others versus her own.

Again, she really wasn't sure how to respond to that, so she simply inclined her head politely and waited for the other girl to continue the exchange.

"I... I'm fine. I just! Now I've met a fairy AND an actual princess! I have the best life ever!" she said, too excited to stand. But her eyes were welling up with happy tears. "I always thought that if I ever met a real life princess she would be the prettiest woman I ever met..." she gasped. "And I was right. You are a princess and a well bread young lady from a rich house hold in a fairy world. I have never been so happy in all my seventeen years!" Except maybe when she saw Corn again. "An actual real life beautiful princess has appeared before me!"

Then she did what was perhaps the oddest thing yet. She laid down on the ground, hands clasped over her chest as if holding something. "I am ready now. You may take me away, I have done everything I need to in this life, I have no regrets." A tear rolled down her face.

The compliment earned a slight blush. It wasn't that she hadn't been praised as such before, but the way this girl said and reacted with such enthusiasm and raw childlike wonder. It was actually kind of cute.

But when the girl turned on her back and spoke the rather foreboding statement, Zelda suddenly worried that she may have fallen ill with the drop into the lake. Zelda hesitantly made her way to the prone girl's side, tentatively placing a hand on her forehead.

She seemed to have a perfectly normal body temperature, though Zelda supposed it could be possible that the girl's homeostasis could be different from those of the princess's world.

"Might I have your name? So that I can direct the help I intend to fetch to the correct person?"

"A princess! And she's kind enough to want to help me?" she asked, just so beyond awed that there were not words. She rolled to one side then got onto her knees and bowed deeply, forehead and palms on the ground. "Princess Zelda Nayru Bosphoramos Hyrule, I Kyoko Mogami pledge myself and whatever meager skills I have to you. I have lived my whole life wanting to meet a princess, and while I may have been tricked before, please, let me do whatever I can for you."

She thought she almost felt it. That shred of emotion that had almost come back when she got her love me assignment for that fake pop princess who was working with Mr. Tsuruga. She had thought that fledgling emotion had shriveled up and died once more. But it was back. That desire to actually make someone else happy. She could help an actual real life princess in a magical land! Short of helping Corn fly again, this was her best dream ever and it was coming true!"

Now Zelda wasn't even sure if introducing herself as such was actually the correct manner of doing so in this world. There was that social awkwardness again.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kyoko," she hoped that was an acceptable way to address her new acquaintance. "You may call me..." she had to think on that one for a second. People who were just friends didn't usually use titles, despite the fact that Kyoko was before her pledging her loyalty. "Zelda. Just Zelda is fine."

But she had to frown a bit as well when Kyoko explained that she had been tricked. That sounded rather unfortunate. She shook it off though, figuring she would ask at a later time, if they continued to travel together that is.

She had to quirk an eyebrow at the continued enthusiasm though.

"You're sure you're all right though? Not feeling ill?"

"Of course! Right as rain! Just fine! Happy and ready to help however I can!" Oh! OH OH!

"I even just got some ninja training! So I can help that way too!"

Of course Momiji was in love with the person she served and there was no way that was going to happen here with Kyoko, even if this Zelda as princess from fairy land! Still! She could take in Momiji's soul and give her very life defending a princess!

Edited 2020-11-13 15:16 (UTC)

Ninja Zelda thought she had heard the word mentioned in regards to the Shiekah and Yiga clans, perhaps it was the types of weapons they used? In any case. Kyoko seemed nice enough, and as Zelda was painfully aware that she was no help on a battle field, if she should run into some trouble, that help would definitely be appreciated.

Had Zelda been aware of Kyoko's thinking about giving her life for 'this princess,' she would have put a stop to it right away, but she wasn't so...

"It would be much appreciated. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do for you in return."

Zelda stood from her crouch and held a hand out to help her new acquaintance up. She knew at least that much regarding social interactions.

"Shall we go figure out where we are and what we have been brought here for?" she invited with a friendly smile.

She took the hand up wide eyed, and still awed. "A princess? Wanting to do something for a nothing commoner human like me?" She shook her head back and fort so fast she should have snapped her neck. Just being allowed to be near you is enough! If I can make you happy and protect you that's worth anything! Even my life!"

Zelda helped her up but felt the need to ask if Kyoko was ok again as she witnessed the extreme headshake, but sighed against it. This was probably just how things would be around her new acquaintance.

Though the sentiment was appreciated, Zelda wasn't sure she wanted someone who had only been in her service for less than ten minutes to offer up their own life for her protection, so she made note to try not to find herself in a situation where such an act would be deemed necessary. She also didn't doubt for a second that Kyoko might just be crazy enough to do it.

So she simply smiled and nodded, figuring it really wasn't worth arguing over at the moment. They really should find out more about this strange place they had both ended up in. And it seemed there were more than just the two of them, as others seemed to be surfacing onto the shore as well, bearing the same confused looks.

The princess observed where the other presumed newcomers were headed, and motioned for Kyoko to follow as she made her way toward the stone staircase that appeared to be carved out of the cliff itself.

Such things weren't too far-fetched for Zelda to comprehend as she had met Gorons before. But when she lost her balance and almost fell from the cliff face and the giant sand hand reached out to catch her and subsequently gently placed her back on solid ground as well as gave her a few head-pats for good measure... that... that was a bit unexpected.

She looked back to Kyoko with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Please, watch your step. It is a bit dangerous. Though it seems we have a friendly guardian looking out for us." she mused as the Cliff Beast retreated back into the rocky wall.

When she started to fall, Kyoko spun, trying to catch her and... yeah. Two of them got helped back up. Instead of also looking embarrassed, Kyoko's face which had become set and determined as she tried to play body guard - after her familiar took some of her stuff and flew off with it somewhere, looking huffy.

But when Kyoko was set back on the stairs she grabbed for Zelda's hands, eyes huge. "Did you see that? Did you see that? That was magic! Real actual magic! We were saved by magic!"

"Yes I did! It was amazing!"

and very much appreciated

"Thank you for your... assistance by the way." Zelda commented, still a little flushed.

"Although... I think someone may have run off with your belongings while you were preoccupied" She mused pointing in the direction the familiar had flown.

The princess frowned and suddenly wondered if the cat-creature with whom she had bonded, would be just as much of a troublemaker. She hadn't seen nor heard from it since being dragged onto the shore after all.

She was beaming at the thanks and almost replied but then Zelda mentioned that some of her stuff was gone. She looked panicked for a moment and twisted to open her pouch. inside she pulled out a coin pouch and opened it. She looked inside and looked so relieved it was almost painful. "It's alright, Corn and Princess Rosa are alright. Everything else can be replaced." Eventually. Once she earned some money. At least no one here was going to have their minion boys gasping over how poor she was when she rewashed her uniform and wore it again. Excuse her that she can't afford to wear something once and throw it away anyway. And yes her face shifted as she was thinking this, from relief to irritation.

But then she remembered that she was here with an actual princess and joy flooded her expression, eyes going all shojo twinkly, and then she thought about how Erika would react to that and some petty smugness entered her expression. Then she looked at the two items in the pouch again and sighed happily before putting them away and closing the pouch over them. As she did, Zelda is welcome to see the small very well made realistic looking dolls that were also in the pouch.

She beamed a bright smile up at Zelda and adjusted the clubs she wore on her hips to be sure they were secure. "All good!" she said, giving her a cheerful thumbs up.

"Ah... Ok," she commented, watching the rapid shift in emotions. Zelda wasn't sure what to say, so she picked an expression at random, in order to question the strange girl about it,

Well, two, as she was honestly curious about Kyoko's ability to defend herself, and Zelda as well.

"Is everything all right? You looked a bit upset there for a moment. Then she motioned to the clubs at the other girl's waist.

"How do you use such weapons in battle?"

"Yes, they're fine, they're still here," she said, smiling, relieved. "What? Oh! Yes!" She unclipped one from her belt. She detached one of the sides of it, then the other side opened. She slid the part she pulled free into an exposed opening, then pulled another part free. It now looked more like a wooden stick than a rounded club. She rehooked the now narrow remains to her belt and then pulled the top off. It proved to be a hilt, the rest a sheath. The part she removed slipped up the blade and clipped into place, becoming the guard between hilt and blade. That done she quickly did the same for the other club, moving her pouch as she went so one club, now sword, went onto either hip She drew both and held the ready.

"I have been taking training, I'm not as good as I would like to be yet, but I am learning." Bright cheerful smile.

(Please do not ask e how this robots in disguise transformation would actually work IRL, because the manga is unclear, lol.)

Zelda watched curiously as Kyoko constructed the weapons, blinking in amazement at the finished product.

"I have never seen such a weapon before! It is quite fascinating. I almost wish we would run into some kind of trouble, just so I can witness how such a thing is wielded." she commented smiling and tilting her head.

"Though I suppose we should also take a bit more care along this path. Lest we fall and do not have the fortune to be caught by such a helpful creature." the princess mused before resuming the trek.

"When we get wherever we are going, I can show you, even without danger. I have to do a lot of practice on my own at home, which is different than the training fights, because I have to anticipate and react to impact than never actually happens. But it is kind of fun too! I think I'm really going to enjoy being Momiji!"

"I would love to see." she replied, smiling until the rest of the comment earned a confused raise of an eyebrow.

Zelda shook her head and sighed. It seemed like she was just going to have to get used to this girl's odd behaviors and manners of speaking in order to better understand her someday.

"Sure! It'll be like another part of the audition!"

Audition?

Suddenly some of this all made sense, but how much sense?

"Kyoko?" Zelda prodded after a bit of thought.

"Are you an actress?"

"Yep!" she said cheerfully, then flushed and ducked her head. "Well, I mean. I’m just starting out. So maybe I can't call myself an actress just yet, but I'm learning and trying!"

"Everyone starts somewhere." she commented offering a supportive smile.

"I don't suppose I would be any good, but do not give up that enthusiasm and you will get there!"

Harry is still drenched even after wringing water from his jacket, but he found 3 other things from home beside a rock, which is still bizarre to him since he was only holding two now useless wands upon arriving.

With a makeshift bag out of someone else’s extra shirt, he carries the pile under his arm while the Pygmy Puff is hanging out on his shoulder, he is hoping to return the shirt back to the owner soon. Then he hears a lady in a distracting pink jumpsuit sounding like she was talking to herself with crystals for some reason.

Quietly making his way to the lady, he eventually greets her, “Hey, it looks like we’ll be stuck in here for a while. But may I ask who is this Corn and Rosa you speak of?”

Edited 2020-11-15 13:23 (UTC)

She looked up startled and clutched the stones to herself for a moment, studying him carefully before she relented and moved her hands so he could see the blueish purple stone and the tiny pink crystal in its setting. "Corn is this one," she said, pointing with a single finger to the larger stone. "My friend, Corn, a fairy, gave him to me when he had to come back to the fairy world. And Princess Rosa was sleeping inside a rose I was given for my birthday," she explained before setting them back in her coin pouch carefully.

So those things were gifts from fairies, huh? That makes some sense, he never saw a fairy in his world before (if one doesn’t count those pesky Cornish pixies), but he has gotten used to the idea of magic by now that he’s willing to let it slide.

“Fairies, right? Haven’t seen one before, but I get it. They are common back in your world, right?” he asks her out of curiosity, he is quite intrigued by the whole idea of fairies already.

"Nope. I've only ever et Corn. He was on my world while his wings healed," she said with a smile. Thinking about Corn usually had that effect. But then those few days that he had been there when they had been kids had been her only friendship for most of her life, so it was treasured even beyond his being a fairy. And then of course was his gift, the stone that ate her negative feelings and always left her feeling better. Yep! Corn was very special to her.

She bounced to her feet adroitly. "And now we're in his world! I can't wait to find him and tell him everything that happened since," she stopped herself and froze in place for a moment. Can't mention Guam. Kyoko Mogami had no reason to be in Guam, and he might ask. Besides thinking about Guam...

The girl went beet read for no apparent reason, still frozen in place as her head seemed to explode for a moment.

Nope. Not thinking about Guam. The Actor's rule of the heart still applied so she still hadn't had anything that would count as a first kiss. Nope. Not from the jerk, and not from Corn. Nope.

The flush faded and she took a deep breath.

"Since I saw him last," she continued as though she hadn't paused.

“Your fairy friend got stranded in your world with wing injuries?” Harry is completely baffled by how talkative the lady in front of him is.

He is tempted to tell her that the Avalon they’re in is not a fairy world, but it’s not really important right now. This lady kinda reminds him of Luna: a bit spacey but passionate towards her interests.

“Okay. What was that guy doing when you two last saw each other?” he asks.

FLUSH.

Someone was BRIGHT RED now. And frozen. Kyoko.exe has stopped running, please reboot.

Uh oh, has he accidentally said something that led to her being this? This is really awkward right now. Harry begins to wave his left hand rapidly to snap her out of this coma.

“Hey, miss, miss. Are you alright?” he keeps on asking to check if she is okay.

It would take several minutes then she would blink clear of it. "Did you know there are coconuts that you can drink out of?" she asked, babbling. "They look sweet but they're not. And Faries don't understand money the way we do.So you always have to make sure you have enough. Oh and be careful of who you think of around them."

Coconuts? He never had one before, perhaps she had went abroad before they arrived here or maybe the fairies of her world has a strange love for coconuts? Still, he is intrigued about them that he goes to ask her some more questions.

“About the fairies and coconuts? Do they have a barter trade or something similar, or do they love coconuts so much?” he wonders about the whole thing deeply.

"Oh, we thought we should try the coconuts there since it seemed to be the thing to do, but faries don't use money the way we do. They use spells, but that's not fair to the poor human who has to close out his drawer at the end of the night, so I paid, which was fine. But it tasted so bad that we couldn't stop laughing."

Edited 2020-11-18 10:35 (UTC)

“Gee, never heard of a terribly tasting coconut before, maybe it is a bad harvest at the time,” he admits, trying to hold back a laugh while thinking about that moment the lady is talking about.

Besides, he is in dire need of a good laugh since arriving and he couldn’t stop attempting to stop it.

"I don't think I've ever tasted one before except inside of something else. I don't think I ever need to try it again." But she was grinning brightly.

“Serves that coconut right then,” he smirks while trying not to laugh like a hyena, “It probably failed to leave a good impression on you. I guess I should take your word for it.”

Come to think of it, he should avoid horrible coconuts at all costs now thanks to Kyoko and Corn’s experience with some of them. What he didn’t expect next is that some rocks began to float from the ground which he immediately sees and get baffled by this happening. What in the world is going on with him?

She jumped back, seeing the rocks. "What in the world? Who is angry? I don't feel any rage...." Rage was what made magic happen, right?

Oh yes, he could literally see the shock in her face and it wasn’t even his anger that was causing the rocks to float for around five minutes before they fall down to the ground.

Face flustered in embarrassment, Harry’s left hand instantly clasps onto his mouth while he is staring at the rocks in complete and utter confusion. The little Pygmy Puff is just as baffled as he and Kyoko are, letting out a small squeak.

“I wasn’t even angry at all,” he admits to Kyoko, “I don’t know how did it happened, but it was coming from me... Is this wandless magic?”

Not really, but he did noticed that, somehow, he could literally make things move without touching them in this world now. What kind of sorcery did he just pulled off? ~~Congratulations Harry, you just unlocked your newfound kinetic magic!~~

Edited 2020-11-19 17:30 (UTC)

"You... you did that? You have actual magic?"Someone was now looking at him with wide sinning eyes. "Are you a fairy too?" you could hear that she was so hopeful that he would say yes.

Edited 2020-11-20 03:01 (UTC)

“Yes, I did,” he nods, “But I am not a fairy, I’m a wizard. I can do magic in my world, but it’s different from what I just did to the rocks. Back home, we often use wands to channel our magic, not merely move things without touching them.”

"A wizard? A real actual wizard with a wand and a pointy hat?" She squeed. A lot. Actual giddy squealing. "Do magic! I wanna see! Oh! I know! Turn me into something!"

The enthusiasm this lady possesses is high, though Harry is clearly not that kind of wizard to be caught in pointy hats: Dumbledore and McGonagall would be seen wearing those from time to time. Still, he quickly retrieves his old wand from the pocket of his jeans to show it to her.

“As I mentioned before, wizards and witches in my world use wands to channel and focus our magic, though some spells may not require one to be cast. I highly doubt my old magic works in here,” he explains to her, and sorry, he is not willing to transfigure anyone into animals today.

Instead, he aims at the empty expense, twists his wrist in a circle, and utters ‘Expecto Patronum!’, to no avail. His Patronus did not show. So much for trying to demonstrate his old magic.

Her eyes just got larger, if possible, when she saw the wand. She was vibrating, bouncing on her toes as she watched him try. "Try again!" she encouraged. "You can do it! I know you can!"

If you got the impression she is expecting something amazing , well, you'd be right.
