When Marco stumbled across the media library, he concluded that this had to be the best day so far on this freaky meatship.

Music. Massive screens. A giant, alien entertainment centre. And, most importantly - video games.

Marco was immediately drawn to the tall white box with the strange looking controllers. He snorted when he saw the name "Wii" (who though that was a good idea? The puns where almost too easy) but hey, this was clearly gaming of the future. Or gaming of a strange and bizarre alien race - it was hard to tell. Either way, it was cool, and Marco was so going to try it out.

He fished around for a vaguely interesting looking game, bypassing all the ones that looked boring (Wii Fit? Cricket? Imagine: Fashion Idol?! pfft), eventually settling on Escape from Bug Island.

Marco had been a bug before. Waaaaay too many times. Now he could squish them in safe video game fun.

But as Marco began to play, his good mood rapidly diminished. Who thought up this whole "swinging around the controller" thing? What the hell was going on with that animation?

"What the hell is with this?!" He yelled, as he tried to get the control to do what he wanted dammit. "This is nuts! GAMING OF THE FUTURE IS CRAP!"

[[ooc: For reference, this is the extraodinarily bad game Marco is playing.]]

Sheik shrugged a little, heading out and beckoning for Marco to follow. The hall that led to the Sensoriums tended to be busy, as did the one leaning to the Obs Deck, so instead he led him to the one leading to the sleeping halls - with the crew quarters open, they were largely disused.

"You were partially right," he said softly when they reach a spot with no one else around, "Zelda is strong in magic, and she can change her appearance."

Another steadying breath. "If Ganondorf is here, and if he still desires the Triforce, then she will be in danger. And that is the reason that she remains safely hidden within me. So," he continued, "You understand why I was reluctant to indicate that I had anything to do with Zelda within earshot of other people. We share form - this is her body, it merely looks like mine right now - but we are both separate individuals."

There was definite sadness in his expression, now. "I was brought back specifically to protect her over the past seven years, and when she is to reunite with Link in the Temple of Time, then my part will be done and Link will never know that I was anything more than a clever disguise." He smiled, but it was definitely wry, sad. "I suppose that will never happen, now, thanks to the Ohm."

"If I meant her any harm, why would I be protecting her?" he said flatly, shaking his head. "I don't know what a Yeerk is, but I promise you, this is not by force. She is the stronger of the two of us - I maintain control now only because she allows it."

He sighed again, then offered, "If you do not take my word for it, will you take hers instead?"


((OOC: Heh, I should be heading off, too. Night!))

"Then," Sheik said quietly, "I would shield your eyes."

Because on the back of Sheik's right hand, three triangles were glowing, one piece brighter than the others. They flared, and then there was a blinding flash - and when it cleared, Sheik was gone, replaced by someone else entirely - a young woman, three inches shorter, feminine curves instead of muscle, strawberry blonde hair in a neat braid, fair skin instead of tan, blue eyes instead of red.

"Marco," she said with a faint smile, offering her hand, the image of the Triforce slowly fading from sight, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

Zelda gave him a smile - sincere, if not a little sheepish. "I must admit that it is unusual to know that others know our story," she confessed, "But knowing that we succeed is indeed a relief."

But on to business. "I can indeed vouch for Sheik's words," she said gently, "He has not taken control - indeed, I am the stronger of the two of us." Clasping Marco's hand, she gave him a reassuring smile. "Without him, I would not have survived the past seven years."

Zelda quirked a smile at the image of her playing one of those... games, shrugging a little. "If we can, then I may," she chuckled. "And... what is a Yeerk?"

Sorry, Marco, Zelda and Sheik just managed to miss them.

Zelda looked distinctly concerned. "Sheik is not a Yeerk," she reassured, "Even when he is in control, I can resume control whenever I need to." If anything, she was the Yeerk - Sheik was little more than an observer when she was in control.

What was it that Luke had described them as - symbiotes? "It isn't a parasitic relationship - it's a symbiotic one."


((OOC: Technically speaking, parasitism is a symbiotic relationship too - specifically, this type of symbiosis is obligate mutualism. Sheik can't survive without Zelda, and it's mutually beneficial to them both. ...But that's the science student talking, don't mind me XD))

[I am most certainly not slimy.]

Chuckling a little at Sheik's indignation, Zelda nodded. "We have learned to adapt, yes," she confirmed, not bothering to correct him to the fact that most often, it was her living in Sheik's head. Then she smiled a little. "I think it would be very lonely if we were separated again."


((OOC: But but but. Mutualism and parasitism are mutually exclusive by definition? ^_^;; ))

"But when you are lost and hunted for," she said softly, "It can be reassuring knowing that you are not alone."

Then she offered him a smile. "It would be different for everyone, I suppose, but the arrangement is ideal for us."


((OOC: He's missing out ^_~))

She nodded at that - it was rapidly becoming a priority. She couldn't depend on Link awakening first, either. "I intent to," she confirmed, "Although very few know of my existence - you are the third, along with a girl named Roxie and a man named Luke Skywalker."

Pulling a face, she added, "And Stacy, of course." Honestly, she wasn't that much of a fan of the way Stacy had been able to get inside their head, no matter how good their intentions.

"Marco," she asked hesitantly, "If Ganondorf does awaken here, and for whatever reason, my presence here is uncovered, would you... be able to help?" She was willing to fight, totally, but there was definite safety in numbers.


((OOC: Huh... aren't you mostly talking about light years at those distances anyway, though? XD;; Also, oh my god I have you, LJ notifications.))

Zelda blinked a little. "I... presume so. He is known to you, then?"

But that went ignored in favour of his further explanation. The lack of magic was... well, of mild concern, given that Ganondorf was skilled in dark magic. But his additional skills... those, then, could be of use.

"You can transform into an animal?" she asked curiously, "Is that common, in your world?"


((OOC: I'm sooo sorry! LJ notifications just have NOT been coming through at all today ;_; I only just got this! But yeah, Marco sounds... sorta like me, sometimes XD;; ))

"I see." She didn't. "We don't have... movie series, in Hyrule."

She made a thoughtful sound, trying to follow. "Andalites," she said carefully, "They are the... blue horse people?" One of them had been in the group she and Sheik had been trapped with in that awful maze; they had learnt the name later. "I met one when we were fighting HAL."
redeyes_andblue: (Z - bewildered: augh technology)

[personal profile] redeyes_andblue 2009-12-07 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Indeed," she nodded, "But they were unfamiliar to me. Today was the first time either of us ventured in there. I am not certain how to work the technology in there, either."

Most of their time, actually, was spent either in the Sensoriums or hiding out in the shadier parts of the City. It was easier to forget, that way.

She nodded a little. "They can morph, then," she mused quietly, then glanced back up at Marco. "Can I see what it's like?"

"Hey, I could show you!" Marco said, grinning. "And sure - but you might not want to actually watch. It's kinda freaky to watch."

And with that, Marco concentrated. And now would be a really good time to look away, because Marco's skin was spouting scales and his arms were shriveling up into his body. His legs were fusing together, and he was rapidly getting smaller.

Less than a minute later, lying on the floor in from of Zelda was a cobra.
