Man this thing is ancient.

[Beep, beep, beeeeep. She's pressing buttons. Possibly trying to dial a number.]

But there's no service so does it even work?

[She studies it closely and when she finally sees the blinking 'record' light, she realizes oh hey it does work and it's been on this whole time.]

This is so fucking cool. Hello? Is anybody on the other end? I'm Ellie and I'm from the future. If you meet a grumpy old guy named Joel tell him to give me a ring [did they say that back then?] cause this is some weird shit.

How many of you fucking are there?

[Sorry Link she's kind of stressed right now. Give her a minute.]

AUDIO

[skyruleanhero]

[Link doesn't know the answer to that, which is evident by his slow start to actually speaking in response.]

I've only met a few people...although if that one. Gathering? Was a clue there's quite a few of us....

[And all of them taken away from their homes...he missed his Loftwing. He missed Zelda. Link sighed.]

[mallrats]

Where are we? That other dude said it was a ship? But that's not possible. This isn't possible.

AUDIO

[skyruleanhero]

No. It's definitely a ship. You can see the water from the top deck and there is no mistaking the sea.

[Link has spent essentially months hanging out on the top deck. It is definitely a ship.]

I've...spent a lot of time skygazing up there.

[Ellie sighs quietly.]

Hey, I'm sorry for snapping earlier. This is all. A lot to take in.

AUDIO

[skyruleanhero]

[A lot. Yeah. Link could understand that.]

I don't think I'm still used this and I've been here a while.

[Hiding, actually. The bathrooms were creepy.]

If you ever want to, I don't know, wander around or play mini golf or something you can find generally find me up on the highest point of the course. I'm usually skygazing.

[Hanging out with people helped, right? Link isn't sure.]

AUDIO

[mallrats]

Yeah, how do you even get used to this?

[Still, it's nice of him to offer to hang out with her, so she smiles and tries to at least sound less pissed off.]

I'd like that, thanks.

AUDIO

[skyruleanhero]

No idea. Let me know if you figure out how.

[Link's way of dealing with it was to not deal with it. It wasn't working.]

And you're welcome.
