Sender ID: rendered (Tony Tony Chopper)
To: Public, to everyone
Subject: Chopper's arrival
Warnings: Pirate talk?? Is that needing a warning in this game??? It's OP pirates though so. They're good guys???
[The device turns on, a curious reindeer with a blue nose being rather close to it.] Is it working? It's on now?
[And then he notices it seems to be working and tries to hide. Only to still have about two-thirds of himself still visible anyway. He is still not quite grasping that concept of cover, and hiding meaning he can't just keep peeking out like that.
Still, after a bit, he returns to the device, picking it up and tilting his head, his ears shifting as he inspects it again.]
Hello? Um....I'm Chopper. Tony Tony Chopper. I was wondering if there are any of the other Straw Hats here. If not, I guess I'll figure it out myself. But um. I'm a doctor. So, if anyone gets hurt or sick, I can try to help. I just got here so I'm still figuring this place out. But I'm sure I can manage! It's a whole new world to explore! A whole new map to discover! And lots more delicious food, like cotton candy!
[Right? He's got this. Totally got this. He isn't actually absolutely terrified at being here alone at all. And wasn't just bawling his eyes out upon finding himself initially without familiar faces. It's not like this sort of reminds him of being left alone on the Merry to look after it while the rest of the crew went off to find their precious gold.]
Okay, um, this isn't like the phones back home, I guess I just push this....?
[Cue a teeny hoof pushing the button to hang up. Look at him figuring this out!]

[ Chopper doesn't exactly radiate Big Bad Pirate energy, and although Zelda is aware that not all pirates are cutthroat rogues, she also knows not to judge someone on their appearance alone. (That happened to Link frequently and always ended badly for his adversaries.) ]
no subject
[Chopper explains the name of their crew. He is not the definition of a cutthroat rogue. Decidedly the opposite. However, some might find him fearsome with his transformations. Or in his current default appearance that others might consider cute, if they don't find him alarming as a result.]
no subject
Although I suppose there is merit in a simple crew name. I have been struggling for some time to think of an appropriate name for my own crew. Perhaps I should take a leaf out of your captain's book and pick something uncomplicated.
no subject
[Chopper says, trying to encourage her. A name is important! He isn't denying that. But he is also wanting to help reassure her not to overthink it. Chopper doesn't have experience with naming a crew. His was already named. The Straw Hats. The Foxy Pirates.]
no subject
A little too late for that, perhaps. My current idea already has a double meaning. ...Or triple meaning, now that I think about it.
I am establishing a humanitarian relief organization and I thought our name ought to reflect that. Lately, I've found myself thinking of the phrases "hand and heart" and "hearth and home," so I thought to put them together as "hand and hearth."
no subject
[That legendary treasure that was hidden and rumors had sent pirates searching everywhere for it. Including Luffy. But Chopper has to admit, a crew focused on humanitarian efforts sounds like a nice idea. Something he might be able to help with?]
no subject
[ And why would pirates only be searching for one piece of something? Why not the whole thing? Zelda has a few questions about this Captain Luffy... ]
no subject
[Well. Luffy did. The rest have no reason not to. And they were all after their own goals, their own dreams they wanted to fulfil together. Supporting each other in that.]
no subject
[ That must be one incredible piece, if a bunch of pirates are gunning for it. ]
no subject
[That and Luffy wants to claim that title. King of the Pirates.]
no subject
If that is your captain's goal, why take the time to help people? Surely that must slow you down and run the risk of other pirates finding the treasure before you do.
no subject
[They're good guys. Really. They just also go along with Luffy and his hijinks. Most of the time.]
no subject
[ Zelda visibly perks up. This interesting-looking fellow is a medical doctor? (Come to think of it, didn't he mention that earlier?) One of her first goals for Hand and Hearth is to establish a ship that provides medical aid and healing to anyone in need. Everything has been going well on this front... except for recruiting any skilled doctors or healers. Zelda has been working on a few alternatives to deal with this shortcoming... but actually hiring a doctor would make everything a lot easier.
But she's not going to just spring a job offer on a newly arrived riftfarer right out of the blue. Best to keep feeling things out for the moment. ]
How does a doctor fall in with a band of pirates?
no subject
[Well. That and Kureha was kind of encouraging it, making Chopper flee when he tried to come and say goodbye to her with her having thrown knives at him. There was also that. But. Details. Still, he is honest about that. Genuinely does want to help and learn where he can, to be a better doctor, to better treat others that need his help.]
no subject
She chuckles. ]
That's the same thing I was doing before I arrived in this world-- traveling around Hyrule to learn more about it and find out how I could help people. I'm a researcher, you see. My name is Zelda.
[ She keeps her royal title to herself. It's been the best way to keep herself safe in a world full of pirates (no offense, Chopper). Plenty of people would want to kidnap a princess; no one would bother kidnapping a simple researcher. ]
no subject
[Chopper would still have no reason to kidnap her, even if he did know about her royal status. But he can appreciate the caution. He himself is well aware others back home might be after him, or react to his appearance at the very least.]
