entry 🌻 under new management

[multidisciplinary]

Sender: Zelda, Princess of Hyrule
To: Everyone
Subject: Songerein Wikki Archives


[ This is not a message she ever wanted to write, but she's been putting it off for days now and she needs to get it over with. It's been awhile since Zelda's writing in the journals has been so tense and formal. ]

It brings me no joy to announce this, but as of today, I shall be taking over the administration of the Songerein Wikki Archives. The Archives have been a pillar of Reverein for nearly two years now and I intend to honor Trahearne's memory by ensuring its continued operation.

I thank each and every person who has contributed works to the archives and assisted in its growth over the years. To those seeking to submit their authored works, I ask you please wait patiently until this administrative transition is complete.

Any questions may be directed to me. Thank you for your time.

My curry?

[ Beat, the implication was that she was taking questions about the archives. What does curry have to do with anything? ]

[stillarhino]

[This is related. Somewhat. It's adjacent at least! Have a little trust, Zelda.]

yeah how hot dyou like it
like just basic?
bit offa kick?
or like your mouths gonna catch on fire?

[multidisciplinary]

[ Still not following you Beat but she's gonna roll with it... ]

I do like a bit of spice in my curry, but rather on the mild side. My tolerance for spice is nothing like Link's.

[stillarhino]

aight imma bring over one for the both of ya
gonna mark links so you aint gonna pass out or nothing from eating his

[It takes a second before he adds something else.]

used to drop by the wikki with curry for nightlight whenever i made some

[He isn't obligated to continue doing that, by any means, but he wanted to keep up the routine. Especially now that he knows who's taking over. Hopefully, Zelda wouldn't mind.]

[multidisciplinary]

[ Ah, there's the context Zelda was missing.

She puts her quill to the page with the intent to tell Beat that he doesn't need to go to all that trouble, but then stops herself. Actually, that sounds really nice right now. She's been going through papers for hours at this point, many of which are Trahearne's, and... well, it's a lot. ]

Thank you, Beat. That actually sounds quite wonderful at the moment.

[ And it's a routine that she will surely enjoy in the future. ]

[He knows how the job at the wikki is, having watched Trahearne do his thing whenever he dropped by. Though he'd brought curry for his friend for a different reason in the beginning, he'd later found it to be a good excuse to catch up and to remind the sylvari to take a break.]

dont sweat it yo
think of it like a welcome to the job
think nightlight woulda been cool with ya taking over

[multidisciplinary]

[ Beat will eventually discover that Zelda and Trahearne have that in common. Remembering to take breaks is not a skill Zelda ever developed. ]

I do hope so. He always worked so tirelessly on the archives that I cannot bear the thought of it falling to neglect. I only pray that I am worthy enough to carry on this facet of his legacy.

[stillarhino]

huh
why wouldnt ya be worthy?

[multidisciplinary]

I am not a trained scholar. There are probably dreamers better suited than I to take up the administration of the archives. I worry that I might do something in my ignorance to somehow undo all of Trahearne's hard work.

[ The stress of the past week --the friends she lost, the boyfriend she thought she'd lose-- weigh heavy on Zelda, bringing to the surface anxieties she usually has better control over. ]

[stillarhino]

why ya worrying about stuff that aint happened yet?

[He writes that onto the page so quickly, like it was the first thought that came to him after reading her reply. It should come as no surprise that it's exactly that.]

[multidisciplinary]

So that I can be prepared in case it does. So that I can prevent it from happening in the first place.
