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.

"That's true..it's not like this place is a peaceful, warm library." Tohko nodded. "And yeah, it's usually good to try and cheer a family member up! And princesses in the stories are usually happy, and if they're not happy in the beginning, they usually become happy at the end." Tohko thought back to her father for a moment and sighed happily. "By the way, how is Zelda related to you? Is she your sister?"

"Maybe you should ask her what's bothering her the next time she's feeling sad?"

"Oh! She's my great great grandmother, I think. Some kinda grandmother anyway. Her picture was in Hyrule castle when I was there."

It was mostly Tetra's fault that, whenever Tetra saw her, she looked worried or upset. Having such a reckless descendant apparently tended to worry a person. Who would have guessed?

"I'm definitely gonna. That way I can make sure whoever is buggin' her stops."

That would be you, Tetra...

"Ah, alright then! Hopefully she's a nice grandmother." A grandmother, huh? Tohko had never had a grandmother, but she had read about them in stories. They were usually kind, gentle people, with their grandchildren's best interests at heart. They would defend them from anything and give great advice.

Tohko smiled. "Alright then. Hopefully you'll be able to fix up the problem..and if you need my help, just let me know!"

"Oh yeah, she's great!" Tetra hadn't even known about her ancestors or heritage until Link and King Daphnes took her under the sea. Heck, she'd only ever heard stories about Hyrule before her mother died.

"I will. Maybe we can find out her birthday and give her a party someday."

"That's good." Tohko nodded. "And that would be fun! You should ask her sometime. I've never baked before, but I wouldn't mind making the cake." Of course..that cake might not taste good..but it wouldn't be that noticeable by Tohko if it was. After all, her taste buds were odd.

"I never baked before either. I made the crew do all'a the cookin' on my ship." Tetra's attempts at cooking always ended up disastrous. So it was decided before she even met Link that she wouldn't do any cooking or baking.

"Oh..does that mean that you're the captain of your ship? What sort of ship was it? A pirate ship?" Tohko had read a few sea stories, but she always enjoyed reading about the pirates. A sea story without some swashbucklers usually didn't have the kick that other stories had.

"Yep, I am! My mom was captain and when she died, she left the ship to me. My crew just decided to stick around for me. My mom probably asked 'em to though." Stories were nothing, really, compared to actually being a pirate and sailing the sea. The smell of salty sea air every morning was the most refreshing thing in the world, to Tetra.

"You ever sailed before?"

"Oh..sorry to hear about your mom..but it's great that the crew is still sticking around. Even if they're just following orders, it's nice that you have someone on board. At least, that's what I think." Tohko chuckled nervously.

"I haven't..but I've read about pirates! Jas. Hook, and Billy Bones, and Captain Anton were some of my favorites." Tohko also liked The Dread Pirate Roberts, but she wasn't quite sure if that could count, as it was more a title than an actual name. She shrugged to herself. "What sort of adventures have you had on your ship?!"

"Nah, it's fine. It was years ago. They're a great crew though, definitely loyal. Kinda dumb sometimes but that's why I'm captain."

She doesn't look at all bothered about mentioning her moms death. Sure, she misses her sometimes but it doesn't hurt because she still had a portrait of her mother and her map of the Great Sea.

"Never heard of 'em but I guess that's normal since we're from different worlds. I got a bottle'a sea water in my trunk. I'll uncork it for you one'a these days."

"Ah, alright then. Well..at least they're loyal. I hope they're getting on alright with you gone."

Tohko sighed. "Yeah..they're fictional characters though, so if the library has the books they're in, I'll show them to you, alright?" At the last sentence, Tohko looked at Tetra, puzzled. "I didn't think you were supposed to drink sea water."

"Yeah, they should be alright. And now you get t'meet a real pirate."

Tetra grinned a little at that last comment.

"Nah, you ain't. But it smells nice and it makes me feel like I'm at home for just a little bit."

Tohko chuckled. "You're a pretty nice real pirate." In the stories, most pirates would be killing the heroine or working her into their plans, but Tetra seemed a lot nicer. Which wasn't a bad thing.

"Ah, alright then. I've never been near the ocean, so that should be nice...and it's great that it brings back memories for you."

"We ain't all bad. I mean, killin' people all th'time to get what ya want is just askin' fer trouble. That and my mom taught me how to be a pirate and I guess Zelda would get kinda upset if I really acted like some pirates do."

She likes being a good pirate, actually. It makes life hard sometimes but they still have a reputation and steal when they need something.

"I'm gonna ask for the administrators to add and ocean floor, I think. know a bunch'a kids on some'a the islands would make little castles in the sand. It'd be kinda neat to do here."

"Which is pretty good! It's great that you don't kill people. It does cause trouble..and it hurts a lot of people, so it's great that you don't." Tohko grinned.

"I hope they fufill that request. I've never seen the ocean, so it would be great to go and swim in it." An idea suddenly came to Tohko. "Hey, if they approve that idea, then you'd be able to build a pirate ship and actually use it!"
