[It's 12:30am and Zelos has hooves.

The transformation was sudden, as evidenced by the mixing bowl face down on the tile floor with chocolate splattered all over, including on Zelos' brilliantly white hooves and fetlocks.

Zelos has fetlocks. 

FOUR of them.

With a whinny and a head toss, Zelos walks in a circle, an impressive feat for an equine in a cramped kitchen, and catching sight of a red mane and long, pearly white horn in the reflection of the window.]

What the HELL?! 

[The exclamation is so loud and incredulous Zelos doesn't notice the feminine lilt to the epithet until it comes back to her on the echo.]

[Shizuo follows them out. Now that he is able to take a good look and isn't so focused on trying to get to Zelda, it's incredible, just how transformed Vatheon is.]

Why go through all the trouble?

[He's only seen one curse so far, and compared to how elaborately everything has changed, that one was relatively small.]

Seems like a waste.

[chosen_gigolo]

[The scope of the curse, while definitely grand, didn't surprise Zelos as much as it maybe should have. Give her a break though; she'd seen her world fused with another after all.]

Idiots with too much power and not enough sense can do a lot of wasteful things. [She looks back and forth across the block.] Anyone you want to check on?

[She certainly has someone she wants to see, but Lloyd and Colette will probably be fine... right. It has nothing to do with her not wanting to reveal what the curse has done to them, not at all. Nope.

...stop laughing.]

[zelda_hylia]

I do, but I already know where he is headed.

[Zelda takes out her harp. It's business time.]

Well then. Let's go rescue some princesses.

[a_violent_end]

[Shizuo considers Celty and Shinra, but they have each other to fall back on. He thinks of the others he's met since arriving to Vatheon...but really, there's no one specific. Rescuing princess, on the other hand, is something he can do.]

Sounds good to me.

[His strength can come in handy. And, well, he does have weapons, now. Not that he intends to use them.]

[chosen_gigolo]

[...Lloyd and Colette will be fine.]

Warp away, Zelda.

[Funny, she has absolutely no desire to call her Zelda-baby right now.]

[zelda_hylia]

[And for some reason, in this form she doesn't question if she can use her warp songs in Vatheon. She plays the minuet to warp them to the forest, singing along. The sound of her own voice surprises her. She must be a musical creature, then? She reaches out to touch both Shizuo and Zelos as the magic of the song whisks them away to the forest's entrance.]

[a_violent_end]

[Being 'warped' isn't something Shizuo has ever experienced before, but he takes it in stride. What is more surprising is Zelda's song. It sounds different from when she sang to him on his birthday - more appealing, almost alluring. It strengthens his already-strong conviction to go with her.]

Your voice sounds different.

[He says when they arrive. He surveys the entrance to the forest, which looks deep, filled with shadows and who knows what else.]

[chosen_gigolo]

[The song may be soothing, but more appealing is the scent of flowers carried on the air currents from the opposite direction of the wood.

Delicious, delicious flowers.

Nose in the air, Zelos turns towards the scent.]

You two go on. I don't think I can navigate the bramble like this anyway.

[Without much ceremony, she clops off to find where that delectable scent is coming from.]

[zelda_hylia]

[Seriously, Zelos? She was going to ride you. She's barefoot here. No it's not just that she wants to ride a unicorn don't be ridiculous!]

I suppose we should head in, then.

[Clutching her sheetdress and harp close, she heads into the forest.]

[a_violent_end]

[Shizuo follows, and the two begin to walk through the forest.]
