I ought to say no, no, no, sir...
Who: One Hylian princess and you! [OPEN]
Where: Scorpio District
Summary: Zelda does her new arrival exploring and finds a little more than she was bargaining for. What the hell is a mall elf and why should she be one?
Warnings: TL;DR oh my god I'm so sorry
[There's lots of new things here, so maybe if you try some things you'll find something you like. I mean, it'd be better to get a job doing something you like, right? Link had said. And while the thought is a nice one to entertain, the fact of the matter is that the Princess of Hyrule has spent far too many years in a survivalist mindset to really focus on finding something she "likes." No, what she needs is information, on both the city itself and the situation within it, and freak weather patterns are not going to stop her.
Her exploration begins in her own residential district, Pisces, which seems unassuming enough, though she has a feeling there's something more to the detective agency than meets the eye. Aquarius is interesting, appearing to be an intellectual hub, though admittedly she is more intrigued by the libraries than the schools. She passes by flyers advertising "Persona Duels" as she walks through Aries, and she makes a mental note to ask Link about them later. Taurus...
Well, in this one case, she figures the less she knows about Taurus, the better.
Leo appears to be the seat of the government in the city - a fact she files away for a time when she knows more about what's going on. As outwardly kind as it is for the government to give housing to their otherworldly visitors, she can't help but feel somewhat suspicious about it all. Chalk it up to the years of constantly seeing enemies in shadows. Doing her exploring during the day, she doesn't yet see anything odd about the mountain in Gemini, and she moves on. Having oh so conveniently arrived in Cancer and finding it just as boggling now as she did then, she passes though the technological district quickly. Virgo and Libra employ and house quite a few Guests, it seems, which she supposes might be useful if she does get a job.
This brings her to Scorpio. The artistic district is odd, but in a way that's interesting to her, unlike Cancer. She's particularly drawn in by the musicians, and it's as she's watching a few near the mall that a native calls out to her...]
Hey, hey, lady! Those pointy ears natural?
[Looking more than just a little bewildered, she turns to the man and nods.] They are, yes--
Perfect! Do you think you could help me out? I need helpers for this Santa thing we're doing this year and the last guy I hired keeps falling asleep on the job but I can tell you're a responsible young lady - you'd be perfect for it!
... My apologies, but I doubt that, given that I have not a semblance of an idea as to what you're talking about.
Right, right, "extraterrestrial guest," don't know anything about Earth holidays. Don't worry, it's easy!
I do not know... I really can't stay ♪
[--Goddesses above, not this again.]
And that thing! The singing! The kids'll love it!
Let me be on my way ♫
C'mon, it's only for a few days!
This evening I need... to be back home ♪
Give it a chance, will you?

Either way, you're welcome.
no subject
... No, I do not believe there is such a race in Hyrule.
[That's what he's talking about, right? Oh - speaking of Hyrule--]
Forgive me, I have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. It is a pleasure to meet you, sir...?
no subject
I'm Shas'la T'au Kais. Call me 'la Kais. I didn't realize you were royalty...
no subject
[Even if it means nothing, something still possesses her to own up to her title when asked. Maybe she hasn't been treated like a princess in recent years, but when she had to throw away her very identity for so long...]
In any case, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, 'la Kais.
no subject
[Coming from a strictly regimented society with a ruling caste, he finds these things all too important.]
I can say the same though.
no subject
[Hide, yes. Deny, no.]
But when one is in a strange situation, it can often be advantageous to be able to blend with the crowd.
[Or a hostile situation, for that matter. This place has yet to entirely prove to her which of the two it is.]
no subject
...here, that is difficult for non-humans. I feel as if it's better to stand out and get the curiosity of others out of the way early.
no subject
[For a brief moment, her hand goes up to touch one of her long ears. They had been why that man was so interested in her...]
... I suppose you are right. I have never been to a place where Hylians are not well known.
