[001 ∆ the lost mask]

[childhero]

Characters: Link (Majora's Mask) and YOU
Setting: Everywhere in the Tower -- You pick your location!
Format: Action
Summary: Guess who just woke up in the Tower? This young Link is taking a look around, hoping he'll find... well. Someone he knows or, at the very least, someone who looks approachable.
Warnings: None! They'll be added in should any come up, though.

[Link has never been one to sit around and wait for someone to give him the answers. He never would've stopped Ganondorf or freed any of the Giants if he did that. No, as soon as he got dressed and gathered up his items (he was missing some of his masks... that made him frown, but at least he still had most of them), he was up on his feet and exploring the tower. He needs answers, he needs information -- more than what was given to him in that letter, anyway. He refuses to believe it. Termina... Destroyed? No. That isn't true. He was just there, things were almost over, it was almost safe. There had to be another explanation.

He wishes Tatl was with him. It was strange that she wasn't, but she would've had ideas about what was going on. (And Navi -- Navi is not someone he... Tatl was with him last, he would expect her to be there before he would expect Navi to be. He knows Navi hasn't been with him for a long time, and so he doesn't expect her to be. But Tatl was with him, and so...)

If he sees anyone else with a collar, he can ask them for more information. Maybe they've been here longer than him. Maybe there's something they could tell him. And, well... He needs to get to know the lay of the tower, so that he can be prepared for anything.]

[That wording makes him smile, and he nods again as he begins to follow her out.]

[Once they've safely gone down a flight or two, Willow slows her pace to take the stairs beside him instead of in front of him. Luckily the stair case is wide enough that this isn't awkward.]

So... I'm Willow. I don't think I've seen you around before.

[childhero]

[He shakes his head.] I just got here. I'm Link.

[guiltapalooza]

Then I'll have to tell you how everything goes. But first, we have to get you some oatmeal.

Everyone has to have some when they first arrive.

[childhero]

Oatmeal? Why?

[guiltapalooza]

No clue. It's just a thing.

There's a few things like that here, really.

[childhero]

Like what?

[guiltapalooza]

I also heard that you have to sleep in your assigned room or bad stuff happens and you go a little crazy?

No idea why on that one either.

[childhero]

[Link frowns.] You can't sleep anywhere else at all?

[... how long has it been since he's had a bed to consistently sleep in?]

[guiltapalooza]

I don't think it's a problem if you do it occasionally, but just don't make a habit of it?

--Sorry, this is going to be a lot of stairs. We have to get to the very bottom.

[childhero]

[Link blinks at the apology. His surprise is clear in his voice.] It's okay. [Why apologize? He's used to walking everywhere. It's no big deal.]
