[log] and behind door number one... [semi-closed]

[sageprincess]

Characters: Zelda, Link, Max, Lea, Clayton, Clementine, and whoever these poor schmucks might hail on the network.
Location E10 (Building 50) + D11 (Building 58)
Date: Day 013, day
Summary: Using a key on a locked door is just common sense, right?
Warnings: Possible aggression and panic on the part of said poor schmucks.

(I've divided this log up into two parts to hopefully ease threading. Also if those on the door team want to make network posts about their shenanigans, just make sure to put NETWORK somewhere in the subject line! Anyone is free to answer threads marked as such, of course; hence why this log is 'semi'-closed.)

PRE-LOCKDOWN

[sageprincess]

[A large house just north of a crest in the wall, Clayton had said. That was where they were supposed to meet, and after a few hours of traveling east, the two story building finally looms into view for the ragtag group formed in the school's sports shed. Hopefully someone's home.]

LOCKDOWN

[sageprincess]

[As with Clayton and Max, Zelda's tablet beeps upon reaching the strange locked door in the southern wall. "WELCOME" displays on the screen instead, however, and the door swings open on its own, revealing darkness inside. One by one, our heroes enter...

... and the door slams shut behind them, locking with an all too familiar click.

Well. They'll be here for a while.]

Day 014, evening-ish

[sageprincess]

[Flags should have been raised the moment Zelda allowed herself to fall back to the rear of the group.

Throughout this journey towards the mysterious locked door, and then beyond it, she has remained a constant presence near the front, falling naturally into the position of guide. It means a slightly different thing this time around from what it was during her time as Sheik, directing Link to the temples and providing him with the songs to travel across Hyrule quickly, but it's a role she has experience with all the same.

But, speaking of Link, it is his presence that seems to have driven her away from the point position as they travel deeper into the ice tunnels. Since they found each other, they have each been a constant presence at each other's side. But as the day has worn on, Zelda seems to be less and less tolerant of her green-capped shadow. If he follows her to the front, she falls back. If he insists on keeping pace with her, she moves to a flank. This odd dance continues until late in the day, a little before their tablets will warn them to get inside, when it seems like she's had enough.

Zelda stops, sharp eyes fixed in a glare as she spins to face Link.]

Stop. You are not fooling anyone anymore.
