Dawn of a... New Life?

Characters: Link
Setting: Around the tower. Don't see a prompt? Pick a spot and Link will find a reason to be there.
Format: I'm starting with prose, but whatever floats your boat is fine for threads
Summary: That new victim person smell is fresh on this boy. As fresh as that ugly white jumpsuit he's still wearing.
Warnings: None. Will update as needed

Room 4-14
He was in the process of carefully sliding the edge of his sword up the side of his right leg to cut the cloth of the jumpsuit he wore. He'd already gotten most of the left leg cut off and cut into strips. He hadn't been able to rip the fabric - such a strange material - but he'd found the razor edge of his sword could slice it open just fine. With an unknown place like this, and none of his clothes anywhere in sight, including belts, Link would have to make something approximating them to carry what few possessions he had left.

There were two sheets of paper that looked like letters on the table next to him. His reading was terrible without the aid of a fairy and he only had a few of the word patterns memorized enough to recognize a few of the words written on them. The first, shorter one, he managed to make out "I saved you" with no issue - so he knew he'd been in trouble of some sort, even if he couldn't remember it - but there were some words he didn't know to recognize by rote between the shorter ones he did: 'world' and 'destroyed' and 'let's' and 'happy'. So while it was nice he'd been saved, it would have been nicer to have someone in the room to tell him what had happened and why he had the weird feeling collar and bodysuit on... and how to more easily get them off. Zippers? What are those?


Dormitories - Around the Stairwell
Now in a jumpsuit that had both legs and the right arm poorly chopped off and the remnants re-purposed as make-shift belts/straps to hold all five of his masks, the Ocarina of Time and his sword's sheath (slung across his back), Link was making his way up the ramp that circled the stairwell. The ramp only seemed to go up while the stairwell went down. Knowing that most dungeons required him to go up to get the keys he needed to go down, Link had decided that up was the smart way to go. If he had to change directions, he could and would. In his left hand was his sword and on his right arm was his shield - what would have been a medium sized one on any grown man, was absurdly large on the boy's 3ft frame. The humor of it marred, perhaps, by the horrified face etched into it's mirrored surface.


Cafeteria - First Meal
Link had managed to make his way to the very bottom of the tower - or as far as he could go, anyway - using the contraption called the 'elevator'. It was food store of some kind and that was great, because he was hungry, but all they had were something called 'nutrition bars' and oatmeal. Oatmeal was what Malon fed Epona as a treat. So it probably wasn't meant for people... which only led to him being very frustrated because the strange people who worked there kept trying to give him oatmeal instead of the nutrition bars. He didn't understand it at all and they wouldn't answer his questions, just repeat themselves when saying he should have oatmeal.
[[Edit: this has been resolved, but anyone who wants to find him in the cafeteria trying to convince the people to give him more oatmeal, is welcome to do so.]]

[ It's pretty difficult to miss seeing any version of yourself, let alone someone who's obviously new in that ugly jumpsuit. They must've not gotten clothing in their trunk or stopped to look in it. This particular Hero of Time is wearing a blue tunic today, but otherwise fully-equipped with sword and mirror shield.

It's hard to miss someone you also KNOW, too. Considering it's the other version of yourself, and all. Have a small wave. ]


... No clothes, no belt... it seems Jason is not being very kind to people of late.

[ They can help with that! ]

Would you like assistance, Link?
ocariness: (Glancing backward.)

[ ... Okay, that cements the idea that, indeed, this is not the Link they knew. One from an alternate timeline. Something minutely different. There's a pause. ]

I am as real as you are.

[ It's the Tower, bro. It's weird. ]

I am glad they gave you your weapons, at least. This Tower is dangerous.

[ After a few attempts Link might find a young girl popping up next to him, staring at him with a near complete blank expression and blinking idly. ]

... Is there a problem..?
ocariness: (Sideglance.)

[personal profile] ocariness 2012-09-02 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ They're trying not to fry your brain. This place can be really confusing. The caution is understandable, though, given those Water Temple exploits. This Link just raises their hands, palms open, in a gesture of peace. ]

The Tower, a different Link, and it is full of monsters and the administrators are very cruel and enjoy hurting others, except for Dax.

[ In order of what you asked. ]

cafeteria

If I were you, I'd take the oatmeal.

[Normally, he wouldn't care about the state of people he didn't know but seeing this guy trying to reason with the people working in the cafeteria about not wanting oatmeal is kind of getting to him.

Besides, he doesn't want to witness someone puking all over the floor.]

kickspenguins: (/what?)

[personal profile] kickspenguins 2012-09-02 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, where did this guy come from.]

It's not just for horses. If it makes you feel any better, everyone has to eat it when they first get here.
kickspenguins: (/ur dumb)

[personal profile] kickspenguins 2012-09-02 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know why. Just group it together with this place being stupid.

[His dislike of the tower is very obvious considering until now, he's been speaking in a very flat tone. Only his last statement has any emotion to it.]

Besides, if you don't eat that first, you'll regret it.

You'll just end throwing up anything else you try to eat before you've had the oatmeal.
kickspenguins: (/I'll think about it)

[personal profile] kickspenguins 2012-09-02 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't... actually know if they do that but you can eat things fine after you've had the oatmeal.

[He sure asks a lot of questions...]

Cafeteria

[ Worry not young Hero, for the strange workers who keep repeating the same answer to you are about to become the lesser of your worries. Indeed, before long someone else entered the Cafeteria. Someone Link fought before. None other than the Great King of Evil- Dark Lord, Demon King, the title mattered little.

Yet he looked noticeably older and bigger than when Link fought him, that and he was now sporting a beard. He didn't pay attention to Link immediately. Instead, upon seeing what people were eating, he chuckled. ]


The fool has returned...

[ He is not speaking about you Link, but he could. And before long he lays his eyes on the young hero. Others could have been fooled, but Ganondorf could feel he wasn't the same young Link from last time. Something was different... He smirked. Let's see how it goes. ]

Yet another? Ah. Then I bid thee welcome, Hero of Time.

[ Do you see this face? This is the face of "I really hate answering this question because the people who 'saved' us are liars and complete monsters". ]

... Most of us call them the administrators. Their names are Dax, Jason, Riki, and Ruana. Dax is the only kind man. The others are horrible people; far worse than the King of Evil, who I may add is unfortunately here.

[ There is nothing but loathing. ]

The other question is... harder to explain. From your point of view, I am... in your past. We are from different realities, or so I have been told. Different, but similar worlds. This occurs frequently here.

Cafeteria

Oh, dear.

Link certainly isn't the first person Tara's overheard having this particular fight with the clear-collared workers. But, what with things already getting strange again, she feels a pang of sympathy for him all the same. Besides that, she's more than happy to leave her half-eaten nutrition bar for later. The things are offensively bland.

So she goes up to the boy just as the worker is turning away and taps him on the shoulder. "Um...h-hi."
