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...

"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!

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!"
