[004 ∆ egoselfish]

Characters: MM!Link ("Forest") and YOU
Setting: [01] Floor 10 (aquarium), [02] Floor 28 (music room), [03] Floor 22 (art room), [04] Floor 11 (locked to Majora/[personal profile] giveschase)
Format: I'll start in action, but I'll match you
Summary:
[01] Link is attempting to relieve some stress by swimming as a Zora again.
[02.1] While passing by the music room, you hear a new instrument. Investigate, y/n?
[02.2] In this case, Link is the one who hears something different coming from the music room and decides to see what it is you're up to.
[03] Link is baffled by some paintings.
[04] Link has found a strange mask, and he tries it on... not knowing just what he's about to get himself into. Replies will mostly come from [personal profile] lackspurpose.
Warnings: n/a for now

[ 01 ; aquarium ]

[There is just... something about being a Zora. To be able to move so quickly, so effortlessly... At first, Link just used the mask's abilities for his quests. But the ghost of Mikau whispered in the back of his mind, urging him to let go, to relax, to be a Zora instead of a boy pretending to be one. Hesitantly, he did, once. And it was unlike anything he'd ever felt before. He'd never experienced freedom, not like this. The only thing that came close was riding Epona, feeling her move powerfully under him, the wind in his hair, the unity of horse and rider as they barreled along the circular track. But this... This, is just him.

Link can be found as a blur darting throughout the water, leaping across the gaps between the columns without stopping. If you want his attention, you're probably going to have to yell or do something especially eye-catching.]


[ 02 ; music room ]

( 2.1 )

[There is a song playing on the floor 28, and while it starts off and features a solid string section, as per usual of the music room, a new woodwind voice joins the orchestra. If you look further into this matter, you'll find a boy sitting amongst the instruments, playing a small tan potato ocarina with his eyes closed.

He doesn't seem to notice you. What do?]



( 2.2 )

[Link was originally just passing through, but something caught his attention on the staircase on floor 28. At first, he can't quite tell what it is, and his curiousity gets the better of him. He can't help but to come off the staircase and take a look.

So what is it that you're doing to attract so much attention?]



[ 03 ; art room ]

[Whether you're just climbing up the staircase or turning a corner in the art room, this is the sight that awaits you. The boy in green tilts his head one way, stays there for a while, and then tilts his head the other way. Finally, he says aloud to himself,]

I don't get it.


[ 04 ; floor 11 ; for [personal profile] giveschase only! ]

[Last month, Link found a mask in the Tower while searching for the stuff that was stolen from him. It was quiet and didn't speak of magic when he held it, so he simply stowed it away to investigate later. He still had the other masks to find, after all. But after that, he forgot about it. But once the month changed, he could suddenly feel its magic through his pack. He didn't think anything of it immediately, because there have been other things to focus on -- the return of everyone else in the Tower, namely -- but the longer he's ignored it, the louder it has gotten. Today, he's finally decided to sit down and check it out. What is it that made this mask so "vocal" all of a sudden?

He draws it out of his bag. The mask is of a man's face, complete with the Hylian ears. There was a blue marking on his forehead and two red markings under both of the mask's empty eyes. His hair is white with long parted bangs, just like Link's. Now that he's holding it, the mask seems to have quieted down a little, almost as if it is saying finally.]


Who are you...? [Link murmurs to the mask, as if expecting an answer. When he doesn't get one, he hesitates, and then raises the mask to his face.

And then, everything changes.]

[So, band practice. At least, it's allegedly band practice for the distinguished and talented members of Gas Chamber (now handing out home made demo CDs and T-Shirts).

But honestly, they're just hanging in the music room and messing with the instruments, like this is a thing they do every day (they do, when they can help it). One of them is a young man with a thousand yard permanently etched onto his face, messing with the strings and chords of a guitar while he lounges in the room, like he owns the place.

He's currently rolling his eyes at the tall, weird-looking guy with the blue hair, who's singing.

Er..."singing".

Let's be frank, this it probably why Lil' Link stopped by the room in the first place. It sounded like a cat was being strangled.]

[Another one is a guy with dark hair covering one eye and a flower on his jacket, who was idly leaning against a wall with his keytar over his neck, and tapping the keys every now and then.

He'd try actually playing a song but he had no idea what their third member was currently "singing," so he was kind of just trying to pretend he actually knew whatever was being played at the moment as he stared blankly down at his instrument.

Fortunately they are nowhere close to actually having demo CDs out, given how amazing their playing currently was.]

[What were those two guys even talking about, Eikichi's musical melodious chat asphyxieé voice was piercing the heavens as the joy of everything this week being perfect made him quite happy to sing his little heart out! ...and so sing he did, letting out a bunch of HOooos! and Woooos! at what seemed like the perfect time...man were those two even following him?]

Comeon! Leeetsssu gooo evuribady!

[It was as if the happier he was, the WORST he sang and jumbled his words came out.]
vvvroom: (What)

[personal profile] vvvroom 2012-07-14 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that startled the hell out of him. Especially with Link yelling, because that boy is loud, goddamn.]

The fuck? [Yeah, he's getting up to investigate, also thank you small child(???) for interrupting Eikichi's singing, thank you thank you thank you.]
nemophila: (1)

[personal profile] nemophila 2012-07-14 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He was startled a bit less than Tatsuya but damn if it wasn't still a bit surprising. Jun looked up from his keys to look at the kid with curiosity.

Actually he kind of looked familiar, if a bit younger...]


Are you OK...?
deathboss: (Emotion - This bites)

[personal profile] deathboss 2012-07-14 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hoooo! O beautiful MaaAAAAAAH! THE HELL WAS THAT?!

[Yes feeble mortals. Let your ears rest for a few moments, as Eikichi might start again later.]
vvvroom: (Missing lighter)

[personal profile] vvvroom 2012-07-14 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Naw little man, are you kidding? Eikichi isn't singing anymore. Stay all you like.

The first thing he notices is the clothing, and then the hair and ears and yeah wow really familiar, ain't he.]


...Let me guess. Link?
nemophila: (Surprise: And then there were aliens)

[personal profile] nemophila 2012-07-14 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah they would probably thank you for the break, to be honest.

He took his keytar off his shoulder and followed Tatsuya over, offering a hand to Link to help him back to his feet.]


You two certainly look similar....
deathboss: (Emotion - Sighing in frustration)

Hi I suck.

[personal profile] deathboss 2012-07-25 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Eikichi just coughed and walked over where the rest of his non-singing buddies were.]

You ain't gonna toss us in a tree somewhere, are you?

[Because being tossed in a tree once was enough.]

[...Ohhhh, this is the younger version of that guy! Well that makes sense.]

Uh, I guess we ran into an older version of you.

[And...that happened.

Please keep it a secret from everyone.]
nemophila: (Smile: Back)

[personal profile] nemophila 2012-07-26 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Jun was still kind of laughing about the tree thing

tbh]


I'm Jun. My friends here are Tatsuya and Michel. It's nice to meet you.

[Try and make it as least awkward as possiblllleee!!]
deathboss: (Grinning - I am so cool)

[personal profile] deathboss 2012-07-26 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
...hero of time?

[Time?

T I M E . . . Wow that doesn't make him feel slightly uncomfortable considering everything...but you know no let's not think about that okay? OKAY!...Let's Positive Thinking! He grins again and looks down at Forest.]


Yeah that was kinda weird...let's talk about something else! D'you come into this room to play music or sing?
vvvroom: (pic#4209932)

[personal profile] vvvroom 2012-07-26 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Well it was just awkward and embarrassing for everyone involved okay.

But then he just looks at Eikichi.]


Why else would he be here, genius?

[Oh boy, here we go.]
nemophila: (Default)

[personal profile] nemophila 2012-07-26 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy, here they go.

Jun lets out half of an obviously exasperated sigh, officially turning his attention away from Tatsuya and Jun and focused on Link with a half smile.]


What do you play?
deathboss: (Emotion - Arguing once again)

[personal profile] deathboss 2012-07-26 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy, here he goes...]

The hell's your problem, Tachan?! They could have come here for a bunch of other reasons! [Such as....] Could have heard us practicing and was just passing by, or didn't know what this place was!
vvvroom: (Missing lighter)

[personal profile] vvvroom 2012-07-28 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[...Okay yeah, he'll give him that. Now onto more important matters.]

Ah, is that like a... [Pause...]

...What's an ocarina? [He never heard of that. What, is that like a koto or lute or whatever kind of Ye Olde Instrument?]
deathboss: (Emotion - Idiot)

[personal profile] deathboss 2012-07-28 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
...you're kidding right?

[Tatsuya how did you not know about a vague wind instrument that very few people play and so obscure that only people who might be interested in music would know about?]

It's a wind instrument. Like a really fat flute.
vvvroom: (pic#4209956)

i'm sorry, but...

[personal profile] vvvroom 2012-07-28 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Well excuuuUUUUUUuuuuuuUUUUUUUUuuuuuse him, Eikichi!]

Ahhh, right. [Still having trouble picturing it, but whatever.]
nemophila: (Smile: Profile)

[personal profile] nemophila 2012-07-28 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
It sort of has the same basic principal a flute, but the shape produces a very different sound when you play it.

[What

yes he knows this stuff



are you really surprised.]
