first piece - video
[The princess has read up everything she could on Raine Sage's guide to this enclosure, from beginning to end, and though she was calmed about most things and determined to do whatever is is she could in order to return home, there was simply something she couldn't accept.
That time could stand still while they were here.
It was impossible - time marched on, through fortune and its counterpart - and so Hilda finds a relatively quiet spot away from the odd appliances in her small abode to turn her attention to those with more experience.
(Though she comes from a land where even this set-up is hard to come by, she had been more fortunate than her people and lived in a castle. Albeit a lonely and crumbling one. Space is the key here.)
Her staff is clenched tightly, and it's clear she's mildly distressed by something.]
To those whom are listening: Hello. I am Princess Hilda, ruler of a sorrowful land named Lorule, and I'm in need of those with experience in an experiment that took place some time ago that allowed you to visit your home for less than a day as told in Raine Sage's guide. While she's assured us not to worry about home, I can't help but do just that as it is my duty to be there in its time of need.
[Which, if you couldn't tell from the obvious concern, is exactly the case. She's absolutely needed there.]
Of course, if one has experience regarding time outside of that, I would like to hear it as well. That is all I request. Thank you very much.
[She inclines her head slightly, eyes closing, and leaves it at that.]

If his time hadn't existed at all. Something like a void, or a curse. If one could make the world stand still like that, then was it a measure to ensure that nothing was astray while they were here? But it wouldn't work the opposite way, she supposed.]
Thank you for your contribution, Rock Lee. It's reassuring to me that my kingdom will be as it always had, no better nor worse, even though I'd still like to return to it should this... magic ceases. ["Magic" for lack of a better word, honestly.] Did you remember this place while you were at home?
[Video]
I hope that you can return to your home as well. As for myself... I did not remember Luceti at all in my time at home. Then again... I was in the middle of an emergency situation during the entire time that I was back home, so I did not have any opportunity for deep reminiscing. [He doesn't want to accept that he could definitely lost all his memories of this place and his new friends if he returns home.] Perhaps the memories may be buried in some way.
[Video]
[Overwhelming, even. Like filling a glass too fast. But that's all speculation, and wouldn't do much good without solid proof. How could you even get it? She can't think of a way.]
But that's merely speculation on my part. I would also return during a dangerous time, so I think I would have the same experience you did.
[Video]
I am sorry to hear about the dangers of your time, however. I hope that the situation can be resolved.
[Video]
She nods, letting the thoughts sit.]
It will be. The hero I'd sent for had just gained a very important piece of my... world's sacred item, and he was on his way to me. It's a very time sensitive situation. [The princess pauses.] I hope yours is resolved as well, if it hasn't already been.
[Video]
My own situation... It has not yet been resolved. But it may be moving towards a resolution. I am in the middle of a war, and a number of my comrades have been battling the enemy's leaders!
[Video]
Thank for your kind words. Though our situations seem to be the same, as in they're both reaching their conclusion, I can only hope your war ends peacefully and without further bloodshed. [War is always like that. It's a fact. Diplomacy wasn't her strong point, growing up in a land like Lorule, but damn if she doesn't try. Hers probably won't be like that if she knows the Hero.] Do you trust your comrades to win against them?
[Video]
Yes, without a doubt! [He answers without a moment of hesitation.] I trust my companions wholeheartedly. I just hope that I'm there to see things through as well! I will also hope for the same for your situation!
[Video]
... But they're the exact same when it comes to matters of trust. Hilda, who has only a few people she can say she trusts without hesitation, still finds these types people kinda odd.]
... It must be reassuring to have so many trustworthy comrades.
[Video]
Is it a good thing that Tingle isn't around as a basis of comparison]It is! [He nods eagerly.] Don't you have such comrades as well?
