ROOM 1-05

[Your world had been destroyed]

No... no that can't be. That would mean that Big Brother...

[She could feel the tears in her eyes as she read that note over again. Everything was.... gone? Everyone was dead? But Link and Tetra left to go make a new world, they had defeated the King of Evil. That couldn't be true...

She sets the note down and sits on her bed, hugging her knees to her chest.

If you happened to be walking by, or walking in, you will see/hear a little girl sobbing from her room.]

Cafeteria

[She had heard about the oatmeal and how to had to eat it before anything else. Which was okay with her, her Grandma's oatmeal was delicious! But when she sat down and took a giant spoonful, she found that this oatmeal was.... not so much.]

BLUH!

[She puts the spoon back in the bowl and pushes it to the side, leaning her chin on the table in front of her as her stomach grumbles. No matter how hungry she was, she wasn't going to eat that slop.]

Floor ten

[If you happen to be walking on this floor, you will notice a little girl staring incredulously at the water filled with fishes. She hesitantly pokes the water and gasps as her finger goes into it. There wasn't any glass there!]

Whoa!

[Oh my god that was so cool]

Comments

cafeteria; game tags what other game tags there is only aryll

[cantstopme]

[Link had finally woken up this morning; still plagued with light headedness and a sense of disorientation thanks to his orange collar. But at least he's learned to keep the Wind Waker not on his person!

He's kind of bumbling into the cafeteria for something to eat, rubbing his eyes tiredly and not looking forward to oatmeal.
So instead, a couple apples will work. :|a Yes.

Oh, except those apples are hitting the floor, as he gasps.
It can't be - that little girl... Aryll?

Hope you don't mind being tacked right off of your seat, Aryll; because here comes your big brother.]

Shh, only bby sister now

[illstopyou]

[...okay. Maybe she was being too judgmental of the poor oatmeal. It wasn't it's fault that it tasted so nasty, after all!

She decides to pick up her spoon and bring the bowl over, getting ready to try another spoonful when all of a suddenly she is tackled right out of her seat by something. She starts flailing and kicking and what have you, until she recognizes that tuft of blond hair, those big ol' green eyes, and that uncomfortably warm outfit.

Tears immediately spring to her eyes and she clings to him, burying her face in his chest.]

get in his arms bby sister he'll make everything alright ;A;

[cantstopme]

[Kicking? Flailing? No big deal - he'll hold onto her throughout the whole thing, smiling warmly when he feels her return his hug.
This is the biggest, warmest, happiest hug you will ever receive in your life, Aryll; treasure it.

... And he won't admit it, but yeah; tears are starting to well up in his own eyes a bit. But who can blame him? It's his baby sister.

He's quiet for a moment, clinging to his little sister and petting her hair a bit like Grandma would, before finally speaking up;]

Are you okay, Aryll? No bruises or anything?

[Since he just... you know. Tackled her and all, whoops.]

;u;

[illstopyou]

Mhm.

[She nods and rubs her eyes.]

What are you doing here, Big Brother? I thought you had been... I thought everyone was...

[She couldn't bring herself to say that they had been killed.]

[cantstopme]

... Oh.

[He shifts a bit more comfortably on the floor, and pulls his baby sister into his lap; time to get his comforts on. >8(]

No - never! This place is full of bad lies like that; never, ever believe what the people who own this place say, okay?

The truth is... you've kind of been kidnapped again. But it's okay; even though I have too, I can keep you safe. That's what your Big Brother is supposed to do, after all! Keep you safe and happy!

[Yeah not going to tell her he died not too long ago. Nor is he going to tell her anything else about this place.]

Y'see the weird collar I'm wearing? If you see others wearing them too - with different colors of the rainbow - it means they're people who were kidnapped, just like us. Not all of them are friendly, but some can be!

[illstopyou]

Oh.

[She thinks for a moment.]

Are there a lot of people here, Big Brother? Were they taken here because of their long ears like us?

[cantstopme]

[... Yeah, he can't help laughing a little.]

There are a lot of people here, mhm! But only some of us have long ears. It's kind of rare, here!

But the people who have long ears like us are our friends, okay? You can always trust them, no matter what.

... And um... you're not gonna like this, but I think we need to get you something better to wear.

[There are monsters and bad men here; being a little girl in a dress isn't smart...]

[illstopyou]

Huh? What do you mean?

[But she likes her dress :c]

[cantstopme]

Well... there's a lot of bad things here. Like monsters. And sometimes... sometimes I might not be here to help, okay? You're gonna have to learn how to get away from them, and running in a dress is... well, it looks really hard.

[He looks to the side a bit, rubbing the back of his head. How to explain this?]

... This is a really, really bad place, Aryll. Ganondorf is here, and the people who own this place are even worse than he is. The monsters are all really big and scary, and some of them are so big that even your Big Brother can't fight them.

You've... um. I think you've got to learn how to be more like me!

[YEAH. YEAH THAT'S HOW HE'LL PUT IT.]

[illstopyou]

[Okay yeah, that news isn't the best she's heard. But instead of being a scared little girl, her expression turns determined and she nods. She was in fact scared, the mere fact that Ganon was here and still alive scared the shit out of her. But Big Brother had been here longer then she had, she could tell, and he knew what he was talking about. Now was not the time to show weakness.]

[cantstopme]

[Her look of determination is good - he returns it with a strong smile and a nod, before moving to help them both up.]

... But we can worry about that later! First, let's get something to eat, okay? You have to eat the oatmeal though, or you'll puke up everything else.
It's really gross.
But they have water and apples for when you're done, so that's okay!

[illstopyou]

[She stares at her bowl, then back at Link.]

...I have to?

[cantstopme]

Yeah, you have to.

[He pauses then, before putting his hands on his hips like Tetra would towards him.]

You gotta! You want to be big and strong like your Big Brother, right? I can eat a whole bowl without even making a face!

[illstopyou]

...you can?

[cantstopme]

Mhm! I'm your big, strong, heroic big brother, aren't I?

Watch!

[He normally wouldn't do this - a bunch of apples make a WAY better breakfast - but if it's to impress his little sister?
Hell yeah, he'll pound down a bowl if it. B|!!!

He gets himself a bowlful, a handful of napkins to clean up their table, and a new spoon so Aryll can eat hers.
And then, he makes the most determined face ever and starts eating. Yessir, he can eat a whole bowlful.
He can hate himself later.]

[illstopyou]

[She watches him, completely surprised. But then she grins and starts to eat her own at a fast pace.

Yeah, she's trying to finish her bowl before you.]

[cantstopme]

[Oh man no.
No you did not just challenge your black hole of a brother to a food eating race.

Don't mind him, he's just going to tip up the bowl of goop and start spooning it into his little nine year old mouth. No way will he let his baby sister beat him!]

[illstopyou]

[AH NO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN

She will do the same thing, despite the fact that she kind of wants to hurl right now

She can puke after she wins]

[cantstopme]

[... oh man no, he doesn't want to lose but at the same time he doesn't want her to feel ill...
So he'll just.
Secretly slow down a bit. Man it makes the taste last, but IT'S FOR HER SAKE.]

[illstopyou]

[She finishes her bowl and slams it onto the table triumphantly.]

Ha!

[cantstopme]

[And now he'll let himself finish his bowl, putting it down and wiping his mouth with his sleeve; giving her a smile right afterwards.]

Haha - good job, Aryll! See, it wasn't so bad, huh?

[Hehehe, he got you to eat the oatmeal. Don't mind him, he's just... gonna grab an apple or two for them both.]

Here - these taste a lot better!

[illstopyou]

[She takes it and takes a bite out of it, smiling widely.]

And now I don't have to eat that stuff again, right?

[cantstopme]

Right.

Unless you need to get someone else to eat theirs, of course!

[Like he just did, hehehe. He sits next to her, taking a bite out of his apple. This morning isn't too bad, for a morning in the tower. If only Grandma was here, cooking something really good - it'd be pretty okay.]

[illstopyou]

[She laughs a little.]

If I need to get someone to eat theirs, you'll help me, right?

[Because no there is no way she's eating another bowl of that shit]

[cantstopme]

Well...

You want to be strong like your big brother, right?

[No sorry he's never doing that again.]

Floor 10

[oldmannomore]

[There's an old(ish) man walking among the fishes, too. He spots the little girl, looks around to see if he can find any guardians, and when he doesn't see any, he walks over to her and crouches down to her height.]

They're pretty interesting, aren't they?

[illstopyou]

[She notices the man and immediately her "stranger danger" flags are up and she stays quiet and nods. Grandma said to not talk to people she didn't know so she's going to stay silent until she knows she can trust you.]

[oldmannomore]

[... Ah. He smiles a bit.]

I'm not going to hurt you. You just remind me of my daughter when she was your age.

[illstopyou]

Your daughter?

[She tilts her head.]

[oldmannomore]

[He nods.]

She's adopted, but the first time she saw real fish she was pretty amazed.

[illstopyou]

Adopted?

[She tilts her head the other way.]

[oldmannomore]

Her dad... wasn't able to take care of her anymore. So my wife and I are taking care of her now.

Room 1-05

[sageprincess]

[Crying... is something she's become regretfully familiar with in the past few weeks. So when she hears the mournful cries of a little girl, she wastes no time peeking in to investigate.

Hm. She almost looks like that figurine... though it's a bit hard to tell with the girl curled up like that.]

... Would you like some company, little one?

[Keeping her voice quiet and sympathetic, so as not to scare her. Hopefully.]

[illstopyou]

[She looks up and wipes her eyes a little. The person standing in her room looked kind, and not scary at all.

Hesitantly, she nods.]

[sageprincess]

[Awesome. Didn't set off the stranger-danger alarm. Zelda bows her head slightly in return before entering, eventually settling a safe distance away on Aryll's bed.]

You... remind me quite a bit of someone I have heard tale of here. Would your name happen to be Aryll?

[illstopyou]

[She smiles and nods.]

You've heard about me?

[sageprincess]

[And she nods in return.]

I have - from your brother, Link. He spoke quite kindly of you.

[... Ignoring the "she can be annoying" parts, of course.]

[illstopyou]

[She gasps a little]

Big Brother's here?!

[sageprincess]

Yes, he is. Unfortunately I cannot tell you exactly where he is at this moment, but I am certain you two will find each other eventually.

Floor Ten

[forceless]

[A chuckle sounded from behind Aryll as Ven walked over, smiling and admiring the fish himself.]

Cool, huh? You can even go right in.

[illstopyou]

You can?

[She hesitantly places her whole hand in and gasps]

Floor Ten

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[That's a small albeit familiar looking face. Didn't Tetra and her crew rescue her?]

Oi!

[Grinning as she pokes at the water.]

Watch ya head, if you can go in the water, they can come out.

[illstopyou]

Tetra!

[Yeah don't mind her, she's going to run over and give you a big hug. Anyone familiar is a welcomed person.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Oof!

[Not a genuine 'oof' just one to entertain the younger girl]

'Hoy, Aryll. When did you get here? Link didn't mention you were here.

cafeteria

[childhero]

[How could he possible miss that loud exclamation? Link turns his head and blinks, and then he stares. That girl... she... How old is she? Even Sea is older than she is, he's pretty sure.

... and he can hear her stomach growling from here.

He can't stay away.

Link picks up his breakfast and comes over to sit next to her.]

Is it okay if I sit here?

[illstopyou]

[She tilts her head slightly. This kid looked like her brother, but she knew he wasn't...

She hesitantly nods.]

[childhero]

[Link sets down his food, and then pauses, trying to think of something to say.]

Um... If you don't eat the oatmeal, you... can't eat anything else, until you do.
