1st Shard

[cantstopme]

Characters: Lil' Link and you!
Setting: Room 1-18 and both dorm floors.
Format: Either or!
Summary: Link freaks out and then freaks out a little more.
Warnings: None I think; will change if it happens?

[Room 1-18 and probably the hallway too.]

[Of all the ways Link has woken up before, this had to be the worst. First was the sleep paralysis; that gave him a good spook, since it's definitely never happened before. Only thing that equals paralysis in his mind are those stupid Redeads - but after gaining movement again, he already checked the room for those.
Thank goodness there aren't any. Yet.

But second was realizing, hey, this definitely is not anywhere he remembers being. Definitely, definitely not. This place is too... fake feeling to be anywhere on the Great Sea. So of course, he got up to check the room out.

And that's when he noticed the third thing - that collar clamped around his neck. Oh, this ain't good, no sir; it feels like something evil, and just looking at what he can see of it gives him a little bit of the heebie jeebies. Which means it must come off, and now.

So if you pass by that room or are lucky enough to be in it, you may or may not find Link with his back to the floor, hands clasped on what he can grab of the collar, and his little legs scooting him backwards across the ground like he expects it to help. It's probably pretty dumb looking.]

[Around the dorm areas.]

[Later, of course, is time for a little exploration; he's grabbed all he can carry out of his trunk, and he's making his way around to try and find the door outta here - which in his logic means "go around and open every door you find". So feel free to notice the little nine year old hero peeking his head into your room, there.]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm just. A hero. I don't have any fancy titles like the Hero of Time or of Wind or anything.

[cantstopme]

Huh...

[He pauses again, before moving around him to look at his shield and whatnot.]

Where's your sword?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He's quiet for a second.]


She's..... It's....


I left it in a temple.

[cantstopme]

[He pauses then, thinking...

And holds his sword up to the other Link, a serious look on his face.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He blinks a few times.]

I've seen your sword.

[cantstopme]

[Link quietly takes the other's hand then, putting the hilt of the sword in it and closing the other Link's fingers around it.

And then he looks back up at him, the same look on his face.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Link tightens his grip on the sword, a weird feeling to hold it up to the sky while a jingle plays in the background almost overwhelming him, almost determined to take it. But then he smiles a little, loosens his grip, and hands it back.]

I can't take your sword.

[cantstopme]

No, take it. I can use other stuff to fight, it's okay.

All heroes need a sword, and you can borrow mine until you get yours back.

[He pushes the sword back to the other, and turns around to take stuff out of his trunk to show him.

His Deku Leaf, his Boomerang, his Hero's Bow, and of course... the Wind Waker.]

I'll be okay, see?

1/3

[theherourherocouldbelike]

...if you're sure.

[He felt bad taking his sword but the little kid seemed stubborn and set on this so...

He holds it out above him and poses heroically. You can almost hear a small "DOO DOO DEE DOOOOO" in the background.]

2/3

[theherourherocouldbelike]

YOU JUST GOT THE MASTER SWORD! ...it's smaller then you remember it being.

3/3 done yes

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He puts it in his sheath and then points at the Wind Waker.]

What's that?

you beautiful person

[cantstopme]

What?

[He looks to where he's pointing, and smiles as he picks up the baton.]

It's the Wind Waker! I can conduct the wind and stuff using it, but more than just wind, too!

I'm the only one who can use it, I think.

ty u///u

[theherourherocouldbelike]

What kind of other things can you do with it?

uwu

[cantstopme]

I can make it turn to night or day, and sometimes I can control people!

I really shouldn't, though; it's rude if you don't ask first.

[He picks the Wind Waker up, the familiar sparkles emanating from the tip in front of him.]

I can also summon cyclones!

uou

[theherourherocouldbelike]

Woah, really?!

[That's so cool]

....what's a cyclone?

[cantstopme]

You don't know what a cyclone is?

[He pauses then, scratching the back of his head as he tries to think of how to explain.]

It's, um... It's kind of like a wet tornado!

They're all over the Great Sea.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

The Great Sea?

[Wasn't there something like that in the desert area.........]

[cantstopme]

That's where I come from!

It's a big body of water, as far as the eye can see!
I'd say it's as big as the sky itself, maybe.

Haven't you ever seen a sea before?

[bro why you all sheltered like]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

I've seen the Sand Sea.

[But it's mostly sand. With some sea.]

[cantstopme]

... There's a sea of sand?

[WHOAH, WHAT.]

... No, you've got to be joking. All there ever has been for years is the Great Sea, with lots of islands spread around it!

Everything else is underwater.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

There's a whole desert. And a forest, and a volcano.

[He grins.]

But the best place of all is the land of which I was born on. Skyloft. It resides far, far up into the sky.

[cantstopme]

No, deserts don't exist... At least, not where I'm from!

And how can you live in the sky? There's nothing up there.

[He's starting to think you're pulling his leg, Link.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

You know, I used to think the same about below the clouds.

"How could anyone live below us? There's nothing down there."

[cantstopme]

[He goes quiet then, contemplating that.]

... I guess it's kind of like us and Hyrule...
Everything was underwater, so we thought there's nothing really important down there, when there was a whole kingdom.

But you have to be joking about deserts - there's no such thing anymore.
I've never even seen a pictograph of a desert.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

Well there's nowhere called "Hyrule" where I live and I haven't seen a picture of it so there's no such thing,
