I still remember that promise we made...

Thirty-First Song

2009-08-23T04:23:23Z

[Action / Voice]

[...Ruto is busy at work backing a few bags in there here and there in the house there. An interesting bit there. She's going to address bot of her roomies - Link, the main one and Tia the part-time one when Tia isn't lurking around in the lake - about her intentions. The plans to go into town rather soon from now. She would think that there's a good point to this. In town there's a good position to retreat is needed and a good position to help otherwise. Beside this-]

This is ridiculous. This is insanity.

[..A snort there before to flips open her journal:]

Sheikah, I would have a word with you. Link, Calypso, you as well. [...A pause and then:] Walter, what are you intentions during this time?

Thirtieth Song

[Voiced]

[This post starts off with a few chirps. There's Ruto nodding there, and then lightly, diplomatically:]

I have recently spoken with a bird of blue plumage who speaks of a man of Mark, who entrusted him with a plethora of information. The bird... [the chirping comes forth, and she glares at the thing briefly] gives me no name for itself, but seeks to the company of those that might have known this Mark, in particular one [...Chirp chirp] Raine Sage, Eliwood, or Norma Beatty.

[Ruto sighs here before turning away from the book. She intends to click it off now, but fails at it and do her yelling at the bird can be heard]

You said you already met all this people, could you not find them yourself?! Why must you involved me, the Princess of the Zora with this-

[Some chirping again, shirk and such]

What do you mean all "two legs" look the same?!

[Some chirping, and Ruto snorts there... before noting that journal is still recording. In a huff she closes it so she might continue her argument with a bird in private]

Twenty-Ninth Song

2009-07-16T00:52:26Z

It is truly shameful how many of you are leaving our new arrivals so ill-informed when there are amble resources at our disposal with which to inform them. Honestly, many of your should be ashamed of the extent for your apathy.

[This one is written just as elegantly as the rest of it, but also a bit thicker, to make it more visible]: To those of you who are newly arrived, or two those of you who are confused... I am Princess Ruto of the Zora tribe. I have resided in this land, Luceti, for a little over a year, going by the accepted calender of Luceti. I realize this all is... unsettling to many of you. I realize many of you may be confused or perhaps scared. All of us were... many of us who remain still are.

This land is called Luceti. It is a foreign world to all of you, and one which is ruled by beings called the Malnosso, who are without remorse and without... feeling. They are cruel, and they are twisted. There is little need to beat around the bush in that respect. If you truly wish to understand, I must implore you to take up what comfortable seat you can find, and read this guide, impressively penned by a woman named Raine Sage.

As the Sage of Water, I will swear to answer your questions as best I can when you finish.

[Link still isn't home, and it's still upsetting her. She figures this post will ping Walter or Sheik though, and she fully intends to invite one or the other over for dinner. She feels like she didn't see the sheikah in particular all of the last experiment... though perhaps that was because she was avoiding looking for him, what with having taken Zelda's form]

I will not go so far as to request friends for the men, like some others, but I find myself curious about something simple: How many people in this land actually know or indeed consider themselves friends of two blonde men named Walter or Sheik?

[YOU CAN HEAR THE AMUSEMENT IN HER TONE, AS SHE CONTINUES...]

Both are quite socially awkward, through for quite opposite reasons. Walter is brash and rough around the edges, though is a dependable man at heart. The sheikah is dependable almost to a fault, and because of this finds socialization awkward.

Both of them are capable and admirable individuals, however.

[Also. I just finished updating Ruto's relationship post, but I might have missed one or three people if you want to comment]

Twenty-Seventh Song

[Action]

[Ruto had been on a shopping venture in town when it happened to her. Well, more specifically, she had been dozing off a little outside town, but she was awoken to... this. It felt strange, mostly because of the clothes, but then she felt her face and ears. She saw that her vision had narrowed. She expected, given the curse this weak, to have assumed the form of Ganondorf or maybe Morpha at worst, but then as she comes to the river to see her reflection, her eyes widen with something between shock and rage. And so with more rage, she squats at the reflection and all but yells:]

Zelda?! What would lead you to believe that I hate the Princess?! I have nothing but respect for her! Nothing but...

Twenty-Sixth Song

[Written]

Walter, I formally request that you come to my lake house ...Shirley, you may as well. We need a, proper dinner.

[Still, there are water drops on this page and her writing is worse than usual. She might have been swimming, or maybe she was crying]

[Action]

[Right now... Ruto is a mess. She's moping around the house, cleaning up the mess that Link made. Whatever Sheik didn't already surely get by now, that is. Even if it's fully clean she's still polishing or scrubbing or something. She needs to distract herself. She can't cry, not... not.

Housemates or visitors still will notice this of course.

Twenty-Fifth Song

[Written]

I have gotten to thinking... at first glance, it would seem like most peoples here in Luceti belong to the human tribe -- that is to say, they are human. Still, there are some exceptions. A handful have proper ears, such as Faize, an Eldarian. ...Some look as humans are are different, like the Ferines.

So I would ask all of you to which tribe you belong, if you are not human?

Twenty-Fourth Song

2009-05-27T20:10:27Z

[Voiced // Action]

This is ridiculous! I lose this infernal book for all of a few days and there is a storm outside my house, my wings have grown ti ridiculous proportions making it all but impossible to swim, and now I hear tales of murder over the journals?! What malady has befallen you imbeciles to act this way?!

[THE HAUGHTIEST SNORT OF ALL TIME and then she's going to sulk outside the lake]

Link, where have you been?!

Twenty-Third Song

...Sheik. I would ask you something.

[Action]

[Today, Ruto is swimming in the lake enjoying being back home. Thing is, she can't help but shake that someone might have been at the lake house in her absence. She moved her and Link in relatively recently, but even so...

Well, anyway as free to run into her at the lake here. ~~WALTER~~ but Tia and Ruto should chat soon]

Twenty-Second Song

2009-05-02T15:08:30Z

What nonsense is this! If this clinic is meant for the housing of the sick, where then is the entertainment? Half of healing the body is healing the spirit, but this place is... [SNORT] Honestly Must I continually sing merely the pass the time? And I have not even a single visitor?

Luffy, have you returned to your senses yet? Sheik, are you returned? Walter, please do bring me something to pass the time with.

What insolence, the bore the princess of the Zora so.

Twenty-First Song

[Action]

[There is a briefest flash of golden light which seem to for a second fill the surrounding area as Ruto touches down...

A few yards outside the clinic. Namely in the middle of the road on the way to the clinic. By "touch down" it means she seems to appear there in the flash and float down. She looks injured, but mostly she looks in need of a good bath.

Do you approach the wayward princess?]

Nineteenth Song

[Action]

[A lot has happened to Ruto lately. She originally came to town in hopes of finding Navi but she... never did. She considered visiting that trailer girl -- Shiki -- but that didn't sound appealing either. Nor did visiting Tifa and her place for lunch. At least, not yet. Ruto is enjoying her apply to freely walk around (naked) outside again due to the warmer weather. She had spent some time enjoying the sights of the town and such, but eventually, the Zora princess does find this boring.

What with having no friends of note to visit (aside from Walter, but he's a bigger recluse than her), Ruto instead takes up a seat on one of the benches, fingering on of her earrings absent-mindly. She doesn't look quite melancholy, but certainly looks thoughtful.

Basically, the Princess of the Zora is in town (for once) so feel free to poke her!]

Eighteenth Song

[Written // Filtered From Cast-Mates // 70% Unhackable]

I... would ask something of everyone in this land, and I ask you note to hold back your answers based on my station as the Princess of the Zora tribe. For I believe there comes a time... when even a princess ~~even a Sage~~ needs to seek the council of those that would otherwise be ~~beneath~~ below her in status. An I believe that now is one of those times.

...I ask for your opinions on royalty and nobility in general. For what you think they should be, for what they are, and your opinion of the entire system that gives rise to them. ~~In Hyrule, the only tribe I know which does not follow this rule is the Koriki, and they are all bound to the Great Deku Tree irreversibly.~~ I... have hard many speak her of forms of ruling people side from this, and have heard much discontent for their own rulers... and I cannot understand this.

And I want to understand, so I beseech you to talk to me.

Sixteenth Song

[Accidental Recording]

[Ruto's voice at the moment sounds weaker than anyone here has ever heard it. She sounds like she might've been and maybe is a little bit now... crying. She's also clearly frustrated, and clearly mad at something, but the sheer confusion in her voice is overriding that]

Is this... meant to be a jest? A joke? Is it a sign? Tell me... why would you do this to me? Are you asking me to doubt my choices further? Are you asking me to give up on that dream I have held on to all this time? Are you--

[And it's at this point she realizes the journal is recording. With a frustrated roar she closes it, but not before it picks up on her getting worse]

Fifteenth Song

[Voice Post]

[It's not loud, per se, but this is so biting, scathing, and just downright unpleasant that it could carry through any sound. Ruto's tone couldn't possibly be more annoyed]

Honestly.

Fourteenth Song

[Written]

Navi I... apologize for plans changing so suddenly. Some ridiculous boy from the Human tribe more or less forced me into being a commentator for this... tournament. Shall we send the remainder of this festival with merely the two of us to make up for you lacking my presence in your days thus far? I haven't found something... flashy, but I have found one of the well -- things we discussed -- to fit you. As well as one to fit myself.

...I await your answer, but at the same time I will be taking some time today to do something I have been meaning to for a while.

For all who wish to hear the splendor for my song, please come to the northern part of town. I will be... performing. Consider it a great honor.

[Action]

[Despite Ruto's arrogance, one of her real talents ~~aside from dance and being autocratic~~ is singing. It's better n water, because there's where she trained for vocals, but even in air her voice is... very pleasant. It can be soothing, it can be haunting, it can be a lot of things, but right now she's seated herself on a bench, taking in a wide breath of air and started to, well, sing. To keep her face in order she's closed her frontal eyes, though obviously the side-ones do continue to pick up things, unbidden of her. As to what she's singing -- well for now, something like this, but with voice instead of orchestral. Obviously it's soloed, but she can hit most all of those notes. There aren't really lyrics to this one so much as a continuous vocalization, but Ruto is one of those people who can convey a feeling easily with just, well, her voice. This particular song is her pride and her love for her people and their Domain. So uh, even though I don't have fancy links, it should be touching]

Thirteenth Song

2008-11-16T19:25:06Z

A festival... such things were quite common in the Domain. It will be most refreshing to see singing in dancing once more. Perhaps I could even... Hmph I do hope that some of you intend to sing and dance, however. Festivities centered around fighting, of all things, would be very dull indeed.

Navi, have you yet located Link? Otherwise, I would speak with you.

I wish I could make heads or tails of the calender used here... it feels so different than the one my people used so I can't figure out when it's my-- [Snort]

EDIT: Does anyone here know of an able tailor? I have a request.

Twelfth Song

2008-10-25T14:43:23Z

[Unintentional Voice]

...Yes mother, I know. And I gave it to-- [A pause, and though Ruto's voice sounds weak, as expected, this daddy's girl couldn't sound more vulnerable as right now when she's talking to her long-dead mother]

I... believe so. I have to believe that, don't I? I mean I don't want to take back what I told you. [And following this is a light gasp, and then a very forceful-] Mother! How can you say such things?!

[Action]

[Ruto is in the clinic and recovering (even if she's pretty damn beat up) thanks to the efforts as Sheik and the two Links here. She's in a strange mood, but that's the usual, right? She's pretty much the embodiment of bipolar. Her room isn't that coo' thanks to recent damages to the clinic -- there happens to be a fairly sizable hole in one of her walls. But she's just in her bed, talking to her mother's ghost. It's... enlightening]

Eleventh Song

2008-10-20T20:39:16Z

[This journal doesn't record it, but whatever limited sage powers Ruto has are going into over-drive now that she's returned. Anyone sensitive to these things should pick it up but particularly those from Hyrule and particularly those with a piece of the Triforce on their hand.

Ruto was going to just fall with an unceremonious thud somewhere in the outskirts of the forest (near the mountains, but as she fell, a golden light enveloped her (and shone very brightly the moment it appeared for anyone in the area) and some of the groundwater in that area shot out to create a little bed for her to flop on. Both the light and the water fade after she touches down... but that's the least of her worries, frankly.

The princess of the Zora tribe is in the weakest state she had every been in, arguably. Her arms both seem to be... frozen solid. As in encased in solid ice. But it's not normal ice, this red ice. What's more, the chill seems to be slowly spreading across the rest of his body. However, this might be a kindness, because her body is covered in bruise and cuts on top of looking very dehydrated. The most notable of these cuts is one on her forehead, which had one of her (frontal) eyes swollen shut, and is bleeding pretty badly even now. Her legs and flailing a little, but the most part she's just sitting there, by and large too week to speak right now, willing someone to find her. However, her lips do have the strength to mutter one word no one will ever hear]

Tenth Song

2008-10-09T20:29:59Z

[Voiced]

[This begins as what is sounding like it might be another one of Ruto's bouts of complaining, but shortly before she can so much as say a word, there's a sound in the background... something like footsteps. It's at Ruto's house, so she snorts and stands, planning to see who's there, but then you can hear a gasp, and then a resigned snort]

Insolent curs. [There's a rather brief struggle, but after the rather loud thumb which includes a rather sickening cracking around, Ruto's voice mutters out--] Link...

[And then this cuts off]

Ninth Song

2008-09-30T02:14:20Z

[Private]
This ~~weird~~ strange air... it provokes honesty in people... or at least it provokes them to speak more. In my case, it did away with much of the airs my ~~pop~~ father ~~jammed~~ instilled in me. Perhaps it did more. I'm certain that ~~Sheik~~ the sheikah is feeling the effects of this one, what with his many secrets. I'm almost certain he has noticed my... undue bitterness towards the Princess of Hyrule. I respect the woman, I truly do. She is, after all, my fellow sage. But her and Link--

No, that's not even the real reason anymore, is it? I can't help but wonder if I might've made a mista-- No. [And this this is hastily penned out, but still legible]

I did not just write that. I did not.
[/End Private]

I intend to travel to town to gather additional furnishing for my new house. Navi, do you wish to accompany me? And will perhaps someone come forth to be an escort for the princess of the Zora Tribe?

Eighth Song

2008-08-30T20:33:09Z

For any who know of him, Sheik is within my care. I've worked on the majority of his wounds now, but he is quite ill -- so I would advise most from seeing him right now. You have my apologies, Walter, but I think it may be best for him to remain here... though if he disagrees, he won't. He's got so much pride... damnable Sheikah.

But speaking of peopl-- By the seas and skies... Duo. Does anyone know if a man named 'Duo' is at all well? I can treat his wounds if needed... I have some sense of kindship with the spirits of this land, which allow me some degree of magical power. Truly, they know to obey the Sage of Water.

Oh! And who wants to assist the princess of the Zora tribe in furnishing her new house?

...Oh, and Shirley. Have you considered my offer at all? For that mater... Link! Navi! I have an offer for you.

Seventh Song

Link! Or whoever else retrieved him... Bring the Sheikah to me. I've... some connection in the spirits here, so I'll be able to mend him. I'll be waiting by the lake.

[Written // For Walter // 20% Unhackable]

Walter, assuming you're going to be about the lake today, I've just invited two... from home to it. One of them is quite injured, but they are both of land dwelling tribes. [She's too arrogant to say 'I hope you don't mind' but too consider to him to tell him to suck it up]
