riku

(no subject)

[There's a new Riku around today. And he is quite odd, with a tattoo over his right eye and clothes that seem more like a medieval ninja crossbreed. He even has a loose, purple scarf around his neck, and his eyes? They're red instead of the normal cyan. Riku seems to be wandering the hallways, poking his head into rooms, though he's highly interested in anything electronic. They don't have those in Hyrule, after all.]

I'm not from any kingdom. I'm from Destiny Islands.

[Before they were destroyed, anyway.]

...What's Destiny Islands?

[Is this just someone from a distant land who looks like Sora? Maybe the people there don't have pointed ears.]

My world. You're from this... Hylia?

[Does Riku have pointed ears? If he does, Sora's staring.]

Hyrule. Hylia is a lake.

[STILL THINKING YOU'RE A MONSTER. But...]

...World?

[He'd think you were being ridiculous, gosh. As it is, he's looking around the hall tiredly.]

Yeah. Looks like I'm not in mine anymore, and unless I'm wrong, you're not in yours either.

[You need to visit Hyrule. 8|]

...Then where am I?

I don't know if this place even has a proper name. Last time I was here, they were calling it a dressing room.

[As long as it isn't his own world.]

...Dressing room? You mean, like... Where the ladies-in-waiting would take the princess every morning?

[...He'll eventually figure things out.]

Er, maybe? Just... really, really big and pretty much a whole new world all on its own.

...I've never heard of other worlds outside of the Sacred Realm.

Congratulations then, because you have now. I hope you weren't in the middle of something important.

Not really. I was going to meet some friends in the castle town. But they also know I can't always make it and plans can fall through.

Maybe you'll get lucky and time won't pass in your world while you're here.

Maybe. Even if I don't, they'll probably assume I'm busy playing messenger or something.

[Not elaborating on that.]

Messenger?

[Yeah, he's asking anyway. He's also climbing to his feet, looking a little unsteady before finding his balance.]

...Have you ever heard of the Shadow Folk?

[Probably not.]

Unless you mean the Heartless, then... no. Are they people from your world?

I'm one. We're Sheikah. We directly serve the Royal Family--those of us left.

So does that explain the uh, red eyes and pointy ears?

[Oh, and the mark on the face. Lookin' a little weird, man.]

Red eyes are something all Sheikah bear. ...Not sure what you find so strange about the ears. Sheikah and Hylians alike have them. I think only Gerudo have them rounded like you.

[It's a tattoo. 8| ]

[Still looks weird.]

No wonder you were looking at me so weird. I think you'll see you're the odd man out here. If you weren't so big I'd think you were an elf.

...To be honest, I thought you were a monster trying to trick me when I first saw your ears were round.

[Nooot going to ask what an elf is.]

Wait, Gerudo are monsters? What were you going to do besides kick me?

No, but Gerudo are all-women with dark skin, red hair and yellow eyes. So it wasn't very likely you were actually Sora. He's a Hylian, anyway.

[...NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT.]

But... My name is Sora.
