dear_mun | app-writing woes and new muse nerves

[~~It's totally the hat.~~]

Demelewhat-now? Huh... I'll get Mun to do a little digging. But knowing how things usually go, they're probably full of monsters and mayhem, right? Probably some nice people, too, though... hopefully!

I mean, this is all hearsay. Mun here hasn't sent anybody to a game in forever but now she's on about castmates this and voicetests that...

[ ~~It's always the hat ain't it? And the hair. Can't forget the hair.~~

Link has heard that games tend to be filled with danger. Or some kind of chaos. Not that it's particularly intimidating to him; he's had to deal with lava centipedes, plant monsters, giant armored birds, and worst of all...flaming bats. He's not scared! He has a sword and undying determination! He could do with a little caution sometimes, though. ]

[ He nods in confirmation. ] Mun says there's someone there I should meet, but she won't tell me anything else. She keeps laughing.

[Nobody rocks that poofy frontlock like we do, bro.

Aaaand... yeah, Ravio's just gonna continue to let heroes handle that stuff and stick to the sidelines, if he can help it. It's better for business, he figures!]

Someone you should meet, eh? That's pretty mysterious. Wonder who it is?

[ Heeeell yeah, bro! We have the sweetest hair out of all of them! ]

Maybe it'll be Tetra! Or Aryll! Whoever it is, I sure hope it's someone I know... [ Because going into new, dangerous places isn't quite so bad if you have a friend. That, and he misses his sister dearly. :( ]

[Nobody can even handle how handsome we are, even when we're tiny and weirdly proportioned. YEAH DUDE.]

I know exactly how you feel, buddy! It's always pretty nervewracking when you go somewhere without a friend. Like you're completely flying by the seat of your pants, right? I mean, I lucked out the first time, but doing it again? With monsters around? Gosh, that just sounds like way too much stress!

[ WE'RE THE BEST! AROUND! NOTHIN'S EVER GOOOONNA KEEEEEEP US DOOOWN! ]

This is my first time going to a game, but I'm not scared! [ After all it can't be quite as bad as being scooped up by a giant armored demon bird and thrown to the sea and left to die. ]

...your first time? You've done this before? [ Got any pointers? This kid has barely been off his home island, he could use some traveler's tips. Except for maybe "don't poke bomb flowers with your sword". He already learned that one. ]

Heh, coming from you, I can believe it! [And-- yeah. Yeah that's probably pretty accurate]

Ah, travelling to another world, I mean, not a game! Golly, I haven't even been around long enough for that kinda thing. And mun seems real keen on sending What's-His-Prince with the blue hair and the girly headpiece somewhere out of everybody here. But, um... universal advice? Pack lots of extra undies, you don't wanna run out on the road. And always keep a blue rupee in your boot, just in case! And, uh, let's see... don't eat stuff off the ground? Yeah, that's a good one!

Really? You kinda sound like you travel a lot...

[ He is mentally taking note of all of this. Extra underwear? Maybe he should have properly packed before hopping on that pirate ship... ~~Granted, he never even had the time to dress in a more comfortable outfit, either, so...~~ ]

What about bait? Beedle says I should always pack extra. [ That could just be a marketing thing, though. ]

Well, all part and parcel of being a traveling merchant, right? I pretty much just got home recently, so it's all fresh in my brain, here! [Tugging on one of those bunny ears, there. There's a slight flash of his face, or a smile, but it's ~~CERTAINLY DEFINITELY NOT ANYONE YOU KNOW, LINK, TOTALLY~~]

Bait, huh? I guess it could double as a snack in a pinch, but that really depends on how much you're relying on the wildlife. You know anything about that in either of those places, yet? 'Cause I might have something for ya, just saying. [Shouldn't have mentioned marketing, bro.]

[ Link tilts his head, curiosity running deep in his eyes - what's under that hood? - but otherwise not saying much of anything. He may be one to wonder but that doesn't mean he likes to pry. That's not stopping him from staring quietly for a moment before he finally replies. ]

Well, mun told me that one place has a lot of fairies. She says they're mean, though. [ Which absolutely baffles him. Other than twinkles up there in that other thread, he doesn't know any mean fairies. ~~He's in for a lot of surprises.~~

...wait you have stuff? Color him interested. You may be surprised at how much money this little squirt's got on him. ]

Wait, seriously? Mean fairies? That's a new one, even for me. And I know plenty of mean guys, ahaha... [Oh, Lorule, generations of having-destroyed-your-Triforce-what-a-bunch-of-DUMMIES has made your general populace ever so charming. As in not at all. As in THIEVES TOWN WATER U DOING.]

Still, I gotta think about this one. In a place like that, having stuff that attracts fairies might not be the best thing... so if you've got any Deku stuff, you might wanna leave that at home, or swap it for something else!

Yeah! Mun has another one of her muses there. She says it's pretty dangerous sometimes.

[ Deku stuff? Hmmmm... ] I guess that means I gotta leave my Deku Leaf behind... [ That's a shame. He loves gliding around on that thing. ]

Wait, first they're mean, now they're dangerous? And-- wow, that's a huge bestiary there! You've sure got a lot of guts, friend, but I guess that's a constant with you...

But hey, don't look so glum! I'm sure you'll be fine! And, might I add, a Tornado Rod works just as well as a Deku Leaf for all your floating purposes! I just so happen to have gotten my hands on another one... if you're interested, of course.

[Ravio, stuff from d_m doesn't carry over, why are you trying to pitch a sale here?]

I can handle it! [ Link that same attitude got you thrown into the ocean and left for dead by a giant bird are you sure about this ]

...it does? [ You've got his attention, Ravio. You've got it good. ]

That's the spirit, little buddy! [YEAH YOU GO DO ALL THAT DANGEROUS STUFF RAVIO WILL BE way over here where it's nice and safe and ooh is that your soup don't mind if I do]

It sure does! I'll even let you try it out for free... just this once. Dum dee doo... [Was he always carrying that giant sack with him? Anyway, he's pulling out a nice shiny item for you, Link. Don't mind the tiny hat stuck to the end of it.]

Just give it a whirl! ...Literally!

[ Help yourself to some soup, Ravio. It's the best! ~~Grandma soup! If it's not from Grandma, it's...probably from...someone else.... ]~~

[ Well, this thing is kinda neat-lookin'. Why does it have a...nah, let's not question it for now. He takes a good look at it. So, just how well does this thing work, anywa-- ]

[ AAAAAAND UP HE GOES ]

WAAAAAUGH!

[ he was defiNITELY NOT PREPARED FOR THAT NOPE oh dear god don't let go don't let go ]

[APPLAUDING.]

Heeeey, look at that! You're a natural, little buddy!!

[THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH THIS SITUATION]

[ sweet mother of farore nothing could have prepared him for that good goddesses ]

[ When Link finally lands from that...amazing trip, he's a little unsteady on his feet and disoriented. The Hero of Winds, ladies and gentlemen.

Flawless.

Give him a sec, Ravio, he'll be back with you in a moment. ]

[Ravio's in no hurry, he'll just be over here sipping soup like the smooth guy he is (as in, not smooth at all, but at least he's not laughing at you)]

Yeah, first time's always a doozy. You did good, though!

[ Link finally shakes off the dizziness and comes to. He's had a lot of doozies, but that was one heckuva ride. He stares at the tornado rod in alarm for a moment before looking back up at Ravio and quietly, calmly stating: ]

How much is it?

[Thaaaat's what he likes to hear, little buddy.]

It's 50 Rupees to rent, and you can own this sweet, sweet piece of equipment permanently for, say, how's 800 Rupees sound? I wouldn't price it like that for just anybody, but we're pals, right? Right. It's a super low low Lorule-style sale just for you!

[ 800 rupees? That's...actually not too bad, compared to what he's had to fork over to Tingle just to get his charts deciphered. He might actually have that much. ~~Unless he spent it on bait again.~~ ]

...if I rent it, when do I have to give it back to you?

[ Renting items is not a concept he understands, but hey. You learn something new every day, right? ]

Oh! Boy, I totally forgot. Look at me getting rusty, eh? Anyway, the rental period's the best part of the deal, buddy. You can keep that item for a SUPER long time. Emphasis on 'can', but you look pretty plucky even as a kid, so don't even worry about that. You get to keep this baby right up until the next time you fall in battle. Which will probably be never, right? Pretty sweet deal, if you ask me. 'Course, if you DO happen to get beat up, then I get my item back. With me so far, little guy?

[ Link nods. Yep, yep, aaaand...yep, he's got it. Sounds simple enough. He's yet to fall in battle unless you count the whole Helmaroc King mess, and he doesn't plan to anytime soon. ]

But how do you get it back? [ Is he gonna just follow him or something? Is there magic involved? For all he knows, it could be anything. ]
