7th Shard

[cantstopme]

Characters: Link (WW) and you!!!
Setting: The showers first, but he's probably going to be wherever water is.
Format: Action because I'm lazy.
Summary: The showers decided to rain multicolored water on the Hero of Winds and he is not pleased.
Warning: RAINBOW CHILDREN. Otherwise there shouldn't be anything too bad.

[The littlest Link woke up early for once, letting out a yaaawn and a streeetch, before finally hopping out of bed to go get cleaned up for the day. Surprisingly, he's one nine year old you don't have to remind for that kind of thing.
But there's a bit of a problem, when he finally turns the water on in the shower - which is probably evident by his shout and sputtering -

And should you come investigate the scene, what you'll see is a now very colorful, multicolored, dyed Link, in his boxers with a towel wrapped around his shoulders, going to tote his clothes back to his room so he doesn't stain them. UGH. Now he has to go find clean water to... go get clean in! He just hopes no one sees him, first...
It's kind of embarrassing.]

Comments

[sageprincess]

[She tilts her head at him slightly, as if trying to get a better look at his peeking.]

I know of a few that should be safe. [AKA not the aquarium.] They are several floors down, however, so you may wish to bring something more... covering for the trip.

[Unless you want to walk around in boxers and a towel.]

[cantstopme]

... I don't want to stain my clothes, though.

[His Hero's Tunic is really important to him, and staining the work that his Big Brother did on his blue tunic would be sad... :(


... Aw, to hell with hiding. He moves the towel down around his shoulders instead - showing off his mussed up, multicolored hair and dyed face, as well as a deep frown.]

I don't have clothes I don't care about.

[sageprincess]

[Her knowing smile remains as he lets his disguise slip, though she makes no comment on it.]

Ah, I understand. We will just have to be quick, then.

[And then she makes a 'come along' gesture towards the direction of the elevator. They can take it down to the 21st floor, at least, but then it's still ten floors down until they can reach the floor with the strange waterfalls.]

[cantstopme]

[He pads along with her, frowning behind him at his colorful little footprints as he makes them.]

[sageprincess]

[Really, Link. Hasn't this place taught you that it could be much worse?

But in any case, they eventually make it to the 11th floor... only to find that the lake and all the waterfalls flowing into it have also become multicolor.]

... Oh.

[Welp.]

[cantstopme]

... Am I going to be stuck like this forever, princess?

[That's said with the biggest, saddest eyes up at her, of course. He doesn't want to be a rainbow forever!! No one would take him seriously...]

[sageprincess]

[... Oh Goddesses don't give her that face.

She sighs, kneeling slightly and trying a reassuring smile.]

No. We shall find some way to clean all this up. The method will just have to be a bit unconventional, that is all.

[Okay, if water is out, then...]

[cantstopme]

Un... con... ventional?

[... That took a little sounding out but hey, he managed to mimic it. ... He doesn't know what that word means.]

So... I'll get all cleaned up?

[sageprincess]

Yes, ah... unorthodox? [Zelda that's not much better--] Unusual...?

[Help how does she nine-year-old vocabulary. But she nods.]

You shall. Perhaps we can find something in the kitchen that has remained unaltered.

[Milk bath, maybe. Hmm. :|a]

[cantstopme]

[Unorthodox got another confused look, but he nods at unusual. He knows that one!]

... Unaltered... um. Not colored, right? I hope there's something, because I look stupid.

[He doesn't like it.]

[sageprincess]

Yes, that is right.

[One day she will speak less formally. One day.]

With any luck there will be. But I am sure people will understand if you explain what happened.

[So much faith in humanity. Aaand they're off to the kitchen!]

[cantstopme]

[He's toddling along behind her of course, hoping - hoping - they find something that isn't dyed like he is.]

Yeah, I guess...
