What is this Halloween nonsense?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

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.

"They act like kids but I'm pretty sure they're adults. They're too clever to be anythin' else and they're smart enough t'bring us here."

She should question Link and Zelda next time she saw them about what they knew. For the time she'd been here, Tetra really hadn't learned much and pirates were supposed to know a lot.

"I see. So you've had a lot of experience with them, right? What other kind of stuff do they do?"

Ken spotted the glittering plastic wrapper of a peppermint candy, and snatched it up. "Here."

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"I wouldn't say a lot but I got enough. They kidnapped us and then once they locked a bunch of people away for a whole month. Then the rest of us left here lost power in the tower and there was no food at all. And there was a giant flying whale about month or so ago that smashed into the tower but that wasn't their fault. They warned us about that."

Oh! Tetra gladly took it and dropped it into her bucket, adding to her collection of candy for the day.

"Thanks~"

"A... whale?" This was just getting weirder and weirder.

"But people have been working to stop them, right? I mean, there seem to be a bunch of them wandering around the tower. Has anyone come up with a plan to get rid of them?"

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Uh-huh. Flew right into the tower and smashed through it. Then exploded into a bunch of smaller monsters. We had to take cover in the cafeteria."

Weird? This was beyond weird for Tetra, by now. It was horrible, freaky, weird, scary, etc.

"Sure, there's a group'a people that Zelda is in charge of. At least, I think they're about fightin' back. I haven't really paid much attention."

Ken turned over this new information for a little while in his head. He'd needed to be a part of SEES, for reasons both personal and impersonal. But maybe a little reconnaissance was required before he tied himself in with this new organization. Finally, he nodded.

"Okay, thanks for the information. I think I should be getting back to the dormitory level, but I'll let you know if I find any extra candy if I run into you again."

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

"Glad I could help. Be careful around here and thanks! Feel free t'find me if ya need anythin' at all." He'd been helpful in getting candy so far, even if it wasn't much but hey, it was better than the alternative.
