I'm not here at the moment, so if you want to talk to me, it'll have to wait. Sorry.

Text | In which Matthew begins to discover Zelda's feelings for inboxes

[zelda_hylia]

[Guy's machine for reading the level of the coral's power was completed on Saturday. After seven days of readouts, Zelda sends Matthew a message.]

The coral appears to be repairing itself. Here are the readouts for the past five days, with "full power" being estimated off of Friday.

Friday: Full Power
Saturday: 10%
Sunday: 24%
Monday: 30%
Tuesday: 40%
Wednesday: 50%
Thursday: 68%

Healing effects of the coral seem to be reduced or removed entirely when its glow dims. People who frequently use it to stay away are also reporting trouble with that function when it loses power.

Based on these readouts, the coral is either repairing itself from the temporary merge with the strange dream world called "Somarium", or preparing for something rather large. Do take care.

[redcloakedthief]

I always take care. What's that, are you worried about me?

But this is interesting. Repairing itself. That makes sense, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions just yet. That sounds awfully dangerous, you know.

Text | Me gusta.

[zelda_hylia]

Of course. I would hate for anyone to be harmed, especially while the coral is behaving so strangely.

It's just an observation based on the data gathered. With what you and others have told me, abnormalities in the coral tend to mean one of those two things. There's always the possibility that it's going to do something entirely new, but I don't see the danger in being prepared for the outcomes that we can forsee.

You don't have to worry about that. I've lived here longer than it's worth thinking about. I can deal with Vatheon.

Yes, it likely foretells something. Or it's a side-effect of what just happened. Have you thought of that?

I've never seen anything quite like the world changing that happened before.

[zelda_hylia]

Yes, that is certainly a possibility as well... but such a circumstance wouldn't really require any action. It's better to be prepared for the worst.

[Zelda, sweetie, you're such a pessimist sometimes.]

Text

[redcloakedthief]

[Yes she is, and Matthew's going to call her out on it.]

You're a pessimistic one, aren't you. Don't give me any of that 'realist' nonsense either.

What comes will come. And it will pass too. Be prepared for the likely, not the worst.

Reaction

[zelda_hylia]

[She looks at her SFC with a scowl, choosing to not dignify that with a response. A pessimist, is it? It's not as if she expects the worst to happen, she just wants to be prepared for it!

Maybe she is... a little.]
