Characters: Lancer and Tetra
Setting: Stairs and later Ganon's room
Format: anything goes
Summary: Tetra and Lancer decide to prank Ganon
Warnings: None right now

[Lancer can't help but gives a little snicker as he waves to his partner in crime. A week's work had culminated in the sign, curtain, and blankets needed to redecorate the Great King of Evil's room. Now, all that remains is to put the things where they belong.]

Come on, kid. Nobody's watching.

[He stops and waits for Tetra to move.]

[She peeks around one more time, even with his assurances, before darting out with Lancer. For a kid, she's surprisingly fast and light on her feet but growing up on a ship and pirating had an obvious effect on her.]

[Lancer quickly ascends a few more steps. He's carrying the folded curtains under his arm and the wooden curtain poles are slung over his shoulder like his usual spear.]

You okay with your bundle there?

I'm okay. I've carried heavier stuff before.

[Usually she made her crew carry the heavy stuff though, just because she didn't want to. So she was keeping up with him and lugging her bundle, sometimes dragging it but she brushed it all off whenever she noticed.]

If you say so. And if it's too heavy...

Well, you're small enough to sit on my shoulder, aren't you?

Ha! I'm small enough to sit on just about anybodies shoulders, I think. Don't worry though, I'll be able to get it up to his room alright.

[Maybe with a small breather here and there. For all her bragging, she's still just a kid.]

[He nods and then takes a couple more steps before stopping and waiting for her again.]

[He won't have to wait long as Tetra scampers after him as readjusts her hold on her things.]

Almost there! Just gotta hope he ain't in right now.

[Knowing Ganon though, he was probably off plotting more stupid things.]

[It only takes one more step for Lancer to step into the hallways of the dorm. What luck. Nobody was walking by, not even a drone.]

If he is, we could always make a distraction.

Oh, I'm good at causing distractions. If I could distract Ganon's giant pet bird back home, I can distract him now.

A giant bird...Wasn't a crow, was it?

Nah, it was the Helmaroc King. Bigger'n a normal-sized pirate ship but smaller'n the Great Valoo.

Oh.

[He lets out a sigh of relief, and then beckons to Tetra to come follow him into the hallways.]

That I can deal with. Long as it ain't crows.

What's wrong with crows?

[She's following quickly and quietly, glancing around just in case someone joins them on that floor. At least they can make excuses right now, before they go into Ganon's room.]

They're just nasty creatures. And this bitch of a goddess liked to use them.

[Since they're a little distance away from Ganon's door, Lancer approaches first. He quickly raps on the door, and then goes into spirit mode. When nobody answers, he goes back into his material form.]

Oh, I see. Wow, lots of people have bad goddesses, don't they? We only have the Golden Goddesses where I'm from.

[Oh hey, that's cool! She can't do anything like that but she kind of wishes that she could.]

No one's home~

Time to have some fun!

Lucky.

[Since nobody is in, he pushes the door open.]

After you, then.

[That's all the invitation she needs, darting into the room and looking around before checking around beds and trunks for which one was Ganon's. It doesn't take long and she smirks before pointing Lancer towards the proper bed.]

This is gonna be good.

Oh yeah.

[He starts setting up the curtains around the bed.]

I bet his roommates are grateful too. No more having to stare at his sense of style.

[Laughing:] I bet they'd have helped if we asked them.

[And quickly tossing the blanket onto the bad and working on spreading it out and tucking it in.]

[He chuckles as he finishes giving the curtains draped over the poles one last tug.]

True. Now, where's the sign?

Right here~

[For a moment, Tetra disappears under the blanket where it fell and pulls the sign out to hand it to him.]

[He carefully leans the sign by the stand of the bed. It was a nice-looking sign, if he had to say so himself. He had done his best to write it legibly in cherry red paint. Under letters, he even included a scribble of a running pig.]

I think we're all set, right?

Because such insolence cannot be permitted and with Ruana his patience has run as low as it could get-- Retaliation. On February 2nd, Tetra will receive a handwritten message both in her mailbox (if she has one by then) and in her dormitory:

"As all those who are a part of your lineage, your incompetency can only bring sorrow and pain to those around you. Witness by yourself the consequences of your choices for this is the curse of your family.

- Ganondorf Dragmire, Great King of the Gerudo"

Following this, on February 3rd Ganondorf will stealthily cast a curse on Lancer who assisted Tetra (and probably Tohko Amano for different reasons altogether, but Ganondorf can't be bothered dealing individual curses). Characters with strong white magic / healing powers can lessen a bit the effects of the curse, but not heal it (unless they kill the character early). For the curse, imagine something alike to what he did to the Deku Tree, except adapted to humans.

February 3rd
• Starting the day with a feeling of ~unease~.
• By mid-day, anything they try to eat will feel like ashes in their mouth. Trying to consume the food anyway will cause unbearable pain (see Barbossa in PotC). However, water and other liquids are unaffected by the curse.
• By the end of the day, on top of this there are now strong headaches. None of these symptoms will end until they die, of course.

February 4th
• The same symptoms that the day before, but this time with a far worse feeling of unease.
• Water now feels very hot, burning if the characters try to drink.
• The characters will feel exhausted all the time and by the end of the day, their bodies will be constantly under a moderate amount of pain, like for a bad flu.

February 5th
• Water now feels like acid in the mouth. Drinking it anyway will cause the same unbearable pain than for food.
• Their feet will turn stone. They can still walk, that's just delicate. Unfortunately enough, in spite of being turned intoo stone, the feet won't be any less painful.
• When they try to sleep, they will have nightmares constantly, of the worse kind. They will revolve around the moments when they did something that offended Ganondorf.
• The pain intensifies.

February 6th
• Their bodies will turn to stone up to the waist, making it much more delicate to walk. Even if they could anyway, they probably would be too exhausted to walk by this point.
• The pain gets worse than ever. As if something was eating them from the inside. Only the impression given by the curse, of course.

February 7th
• Finally their entire body will turn into stone- But they remain conscious, the pain does not end and they can hear whatever happens around them. If their eyes were open when they turned in stone, they can see as well but they can not move the eyes.
• After three hours, the stone body will shatter, meaning death.
