app-writing woes and new muse nerves

[ Samples are the bane of the mun's existence, and to top it off the new muse here is a tricky little guy. Link isn't much of a talker, but that doesn't mean he can't encourage someone some other way! He offers a reassuring smile. ]

I know it seems hard, but you can do it! ...are you sure two games isn't too much for you right now, though?

[What happened to all his energy from earlier? Ravio's silent for a minute before he nods, smiling thinly. It's still sincere, but that bitter feeling hasn't quite gone away...]

...Yeah. He helped me.

He did all the things I couldn't do, heh.

[ He did all the things you couldn't--

Okay nah that ain't right. He's not having any of that. ]

But you're me! If I can do something, so can you!

[ Come on, Ravio, don't you do that to him. ]

[Aaaaand there it is. Visible wince at that, there!]

L-look, it's not that simple! I'm me, too, y'know, and I never-- I'm not...

[Admitting that he's a giant chicken to Hilda seemed easier, but to a (younger, peppier?) mirror of himself? Decidedly more difficult.]

[ As far as Link is concerned, this is easy to understand. It makes perfect sense in his head, at least. ]

But you said so yourself! You're me from a different world!

That's just it! It's different, and the difference being-- b-being the you from Lorule can't fight monsters or crazy wizards! I can't remember if I've even swung a sword in my whole life, never mind the magic evil-banishing kind!

[Flailing some, here. Yeah, he should've been able to do all that stuff, but he never had the guts to! Maybe it was something to do with the Triforce being... well. What it was, at the time?]

Why not?

[ It's less of a normally-asked question and more of the one someone asks when they want justification or explanation. Something about this isn't sitting very well with him, and his face alone could make that known to the world; he's a habit of speaking through mannerisms and countenance more than words, after all.

Although, his upset gaze is softening a little. That things would be so different in another world isn't impossible, after all, but he's not sure he particularly likes it. ]

[Ravio, on the other hand, is used to running his mouth all the time-- maybe it's making up for his hood-wearing? He definitely looks a lot less... collected without the thing on.]

I don't... I don't have the courage that you do.

Maybe some other me did before, but... if I even spot a monster from far away, my first instinct is 'get the heck outta there!', not 'go beat him up and save the day'. I wish it was! Would've made things a heck of a lot easier.

[ So that was it. Link's shoulders sag a little bit. To not have courage would certainly make saving his sister pretty hard, let alone facing down Ganon. Many of his trials relied on other things, sure - sheer force of will, for one, and lots of trial and error while deciphering the various obstacles in his path - but he'd had to brave many intimidating things as well. ]

[ Truth be told, Link's a bit more high strung than his other counterparts, but that doesn't make him any less capable of powering through moments of chaos and coming out the other side a victor. Still, many of the things that tested him were more than just scary monsters and Big, Bad, Sister-Kidnapping Giant-Bird-Commanding Wizards. ]

...but you went looking for help. And you left your world. Wasn't that scary?

[Ravio tugs weakly at the buck-teeth of his hat, shrugging a little. What he did sure didn't feel like bravery at the time. Wasn't it just running away? Hilda certainly seemed to think so at the time...

The best of intentions, he'd said. And it was, wasn't it? Even if he did make Link do most of the work.]

Well, yeah, it was terrifying. I didn't know if I'd even be able to get back home. But... leaving for a chance at fixing everything wasn't as scary as staying and letting everything go to ruin. That's what I figure, anyway.

[ Link tilts his head a little. Seeing Ravio all upset is making him upset too :( Come on buddy you can't be THAT bad! ]

You just wanted to help, right? I did, too.

[ Insert reassuring smile here. He's not the best at this sort of thing, but he can't watch someone be all down like this and do nothing. It doesn't sit well with him. ]

[A-aww, Link! The support means a lot, coming from him, even when he's teeny and from the future. And thankfully, Ravio's the type to bounce back quickly, especially if they're -- hopefully-- getting off the courage subject.]

Hey, that much doesn't change, right? And it all turned out better in the end.

[His grin in return's a little sheepish, but hey! He's found other ways of helping. And maybe it's all a perspective thing! At any rate, he'll try not to dwell on it too long.]

[ Link can't turn his back on this sorta thing. It's kind of an unspoken law of the universe at this point. ]

[ Beaming smile is a go! Link nods. ]

See? If I can do it, so can you!

I've just got my own special brand of helping out, that's all! I mean... maybe I could try the whole hero thing again. Should that come up. Hopefully it won't! I'm predicting cushy times ahead for Lorule, at least for the time being--

[Quick glance upwards. Mun, stop thinking those things you're thinking. ~~YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO APP TO GAMES. SOB~~] Yeah, that's right, Lorule! I'm good with not going to Crazy Fairy Town, thanks!

Mm-hmm!

[ Hooooo boy. Mun shenanigans! Link offers a sympathetic stare. Muns are stubborn; at least his tends to be. Sometimes. ~~At least her samples are done now.~~ ]

I tried to tell my mun I didn't want to go. I don't think she listened. [ Or cared.

Come on, Link, there's another you at Demeleier. Aren't you excited? ...no? Well, TOO BAD ]

[Ravio's lucky that his has too much going on to commit to a game. That's all we're saying. ~~but if he keeps being loud like this SOMETHING'S GOTTA HAPPEN >8(~~]

They don't like doing the whole listening thing, do they? I'm learning that one pretty quick. Sheesh!

[~~clearly the only thing to do is bombard the game with as many Links as possible~~]

She's really stubborn. I think most of 'em are like that, though.

[ ~~Fill Demelier with Links. All the Links. SO MANY LINKS.~~ ]

Guess they really know what they want, huh. Well, I'm sure you'll be fine, even if it does get hairy in there. Heck, might even put some hairs on your chest!

...Let me know if it does, 'cause I've never seen any of those on me. Kinda curious, now.

[~~START A REVOLUTION. CATCH ALL THE FAIRIES.~~]

[ ...Ravio, what even

Here, have this face. A lot of this face. ]

Um...okay.

[ ~~We're gonna need a lot of bottles...~~ ]

Sorry, was that too much? I got a little carried away with the hair thing, huh. Puns, buddy, they sell items! Most of the time, anyway.

[Just grinning, here! ~~but then what will everyone hold their soup in? bowls? like NORMAL people?~~]
