What is this Halloween nonsense?

Characters: Tetra and all of you!
Setting: Oct. 12 all over the tower (you pick)
Format: Starting with prose but will switch :)
Summary: Collecting candy and complaining about being dressed as the Hero of Time.
Warnings: None yet but that might change ~~because Ganon is a jerk face~~

"Collect candy or else, blah blah blah. This is so dumb. And this costume is dumb. And too hot." Are the most common complaints that can be heard from the small blonde pirate who is dressed, not as a pirate or a princess, but in a warm green costume with tights and a belt. She's even got the hat but her hair is hanging down her back. It would probably look really dumb if she had her hair in a bun with the cap.

So she's wandering around and looking for candy, climbing things and crawling under anything including trees and tables, respectively. And maybe stopping for a break to eat some pumpkin pie.

"O-oh!" Wow, that was fantastic! Guess who's pulling the cap off and gladly taking the tie, quickly pulling her hair into a messy ponytail. She obviously lacks the ability to make her hair look neat unless it's in a bun but this works.

"Thanks~ I'm Tetra."

Tohko smiled. "Hey, no problem. I'm happy to help. I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl. Nice to meet you, Tetra. How's the candy hunt going?"

Tetra took a glance in her bucket and then made a face at the measly two pieces she had sitting in there. That 'or else' was hanging over her head a bit but there was still all day!

"Ain't the best but I'm workin' on it. These ain't the kinda candies I seen on the islands so I gotta look hard."

"Ah, don't worry. You'll find them in no time. They're in all sorts of small corner and crannies, so it's not hard to find them once you know where to look. Here. I've got some extras that you can have." Tohko smiled and took three pieces of of her bucket and put them in Tetra's. She had been collecting too much anyways. Giving out her extras wasn't a bad idea.

There's a bit of flailing and Tetra quickly shakes her head, trying to pull her bucket out of reach. Pirate or no, Tetra is the honorable type and couldn't take someone elses candy.

"What if somethin' happens to you? I ain't gonna let someone get hurt t'help me."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I filled out my quota for the day, so I'm alright! However, if you won't take my candy, will you at least allow me to help you find it?" Tohko asked. She was happy that Tetra was being a little kind, but she didn't want the girl to die because of an unfulfilled quota.

"I don't mind gettin' help but I ain't gonna let someone give me what they found. Nuh-uh." Tohko would learn just how stubborn Tetra could be soon enough. She was a pirate after all, and related to Zelda. She inherited a lot from her ancestor.

Tohko sighed, shrugged, and smiled as she put her candy back in her basket. Oh well. At least Tetra was letting her help. "Well, alright then. How about we start with the library? I've been able to find a few candies there."

"To the library it is then!" And off she goes, jogging down the hall. Such a shame that the Hero didn't have skates. That would make this easier but then, she'd probably accidentally crush them.

"To the library!~" Tohko yelled as she ran after Tetra.

Tetra ducked into the library quickly and hid next to the doorway, waiting for Tohko as a moment of deviousness overwhelmed her. As he companion followed...

Well, Tetra jumped out and yelled: "Boo!"

"Gah!" Tohko cried, jumping in surprise and spilling her candy everywhere. She glared at Tetra after she calmed down. "What did you do that?" She cried as she gathered up her candy. At least, what she could find of it.

As she did so, she noticed that there was a small treasure chest hiding in the corner of the library. However, she wasn't going to tell Tetra until she apologized.

Tetra is giggling madly but she sets her little pumpkin bucket aside to help clean up the candy and drop it back in Tohko's bucket. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty for her impishness but she wouldn't be Tetra otherwise.

"You're supposed to scare people during this month aren't ya?"

Tohko, with Tetra's help, managed to gather up her candy. She had calmed down now..and realized that her plan to not tell Tetra was a little childish.

"That is what people normally do. I just wasn't expecting it." Tohko sighed. She then pointed at the treasure chest that was in the corner. "You know, I wonder what's in there?"

"Heehee, sorry. It wouldn't have been fun though, if I told you before, would it?" She can't help but giggle a bit more before getting up and brushing off the leggings of her costume. She glanced over towards the treasure chest and smirked.

"Whatever it is, I bet there's enough for us both~"

"That's true.." Tohko said, moving closer to the treasure chest. "I just hope that this thing doesn't have enough monsters for the both of us."

"Blegh, monsters. Let's cross our fingers there ain't nothin' in there, because I left my sword in my room." A pirate sword and a hero costume? NOPE.

Here went nothing though, as Tetra inched up to the chest and nudged it open carefully. If anything tried to jump out, she could slam the top of it down on them. That'd teach any monsters to mess with them!

"I forgot my shinai as well. I really should stop doing that." Tohko replied. After all, this place was dangerous. She couldn't just forget her weapons and expect to survive.

Tohko watched Tetra nervously as she opened the chest. She wasn't quite sure what was in it, but if it was a monster, she'd just have to beat it up with her bare hands. Or run. She hoped it was a book though..or a sword.

"So..what's in there?"

"Shinai? Never heard'a one'a them before." Sounded like a weapon and Tetra would agree that carrying a weapon would be always be a smart move in the tower. Although, Tetra hadn't died even once since coming here, despite how much mischief she got herself into.

Pushing the chest open, Tohko would be pleased with the cache. Tetra plucked out a couple of small daggers and several pieces of candy, holding them up like ~~Link does when he opens a treasure chest~~ they were prizes.

"It's a training sword made out of bamboo." Tohko explained. Sure, Tohko was a beginner at fighting, but that was no excuse for forgetting a weapon, even if there was the chance of it breaking.

Tohko looked quizzically at Tetra's way of showing off the treasure. She wasn't quite sure why Tetra was holding them like that, but she was happy that actual prizes were in the chest and not monsters.

"May I have two daggers?" Tohko asked. She probably should have only asked for one, but she had read too many stories of badass heroes that wielded two swords or daggers to only ask for one and not regret it.

It was a thing with people from her world. When you open a chest, you have to be as flamboyant as possible. That and tetra really wanted to try to go all out if she was dressed as Hyrule's legendary hero.

"Sure thing~" She tossed them over to Tohko, sheathed of course because they really couldn't afford any injuries. That would completely defeat the purpose of finding candy to avoid that 'or else' scenario.

Tohko grabbed the daggers and smiled at Tetra. "Thanks! In return, you can have the candy." Tohko looked at the daggers happily. Now she could return Saber's shinai! She had her own weapon!

"Guess that's a fair enough split of the booty~!" She was alittle worried that Tohko might need the candy but it anything happened, she'd take some of her own and slip it into the others bucket. She could be sneaky sometimes, if she needed to be. She had gotten into Forsaken Fortress and kicked Ganon in the face before he noticed she was there.

"Yup!" Tohko exclaimed happily. She had a huge urge to just take them out and swing them around, but she knew they weren't toys. If she did that, someone or something could get hurt.

"Alright..where should we look now?"

"Hmm... I dunno, probably anywhere with lots'a hard to reach places. Maybe the forest floor? They could be in birds nests'n stuff." Climbing the trees would be hard though, Tetra didn't like trees all that much after being dropped in one.
