[There is a clunk, and by the way the person is talking, it sounds rather like someone has accidentally pressed a button on the communicator.]

What...is this magic? [The decidedly feminine voice is composed but strained, and there is evident confusion interlaced with a bit of suspicion. The speaker is examining the device, and as she begins to figure out how to use it, her voice strengthens, though her next words sound...tired.]

Where am I...? [She seems to be talking to herself, and her voice is faint; she isn't speaking directly into the device anymore.] How...odd.

[She clears her throat, then directs her voice into the communicator, fully intending on finding out just what is going on.]

Being as I am quite obviously not in Hyrule Castle, nor even Hyrule itself; I must ask for some sort of explanation. If there is someone out there that can offer that, I would be deeply indebted to you.

i lol'd at shockwave talking to zelda

[There is an extremely long pause here. She's trying to decide if this person is indeed insane, or, if by some strange (and perhaps cruel) whim of the goddesses, he is telling the truth.]

I...see. That is...frustrating.

:D

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He wishes he could say it was insanity, he really does. It would be so much easier that way.]

I entirely agree with you. But if it's any consolation, the company is... interesting.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She is beginning to agree. At least then there would be some sort of excuse for all of this nonsense.]

Interesting? How so?

Forgive my terrible manners; I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. May I have the honor of your name...?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

We all have come from very different places. Much can be learned here.

You may. I am Shockwave of the Decepticons. It's a pleasure, Princess Zelda.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

That certainly does seem the case. I am...rather interested in learning what I can about those here that are not from Hyrule.

...Decepticons? [Shockwave? What...sort of name was that...?]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Some of them will oblige. Despite the diversions it can occasionally get dull around here.

It's a faction where I come from. It would... take more explanation than some of the others. [Because 'warring giant sentient robots' can be a bit startling.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

That would be appreciated, if they did.

Then perhaps sometime you will humor me with that explanation.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a short, mechanical trill.]

Very well. I will... attempt a shortened version and allow for questions. I am a robot, with a soul, you might say. My planet is populated by creatures like me. Long ago we split into two factions - the Autobots and the Decepticons - and have been warring ever since.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[...What.]

I...hope you can forgive me, but I am a little uncertain as to what a robot actually is.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Yeeeeah, this is why he can't be a teacher. Like, ever.]

I understand. They are machines. Ah... constructs, made of metal.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Zelda just does not know what to think of you, Shockwave.]

And...you are one such being, then?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[He said it was complicated.]

I am, yes.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[He was not lying.]

It is my sincerest wish that I meet with you at some point, if you would allow it.

[This is something she needs to see to believe.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I will allow it; I like meeting... face-to-face.

[The looks that he gets are just so worth wandering around the ship.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that; I hope to meet you very soon, then.

[He's going to get an interesting reaction from Zelda, make no mistake.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

And I you, Princess.

[If that reaction is 'screaming and running away', he might just laugh.]
