Being apped to Tower of Animus....

[chickenofthesea]

A one way ticket to adventure, huh! Actually, you know what? I think I've had quite enough adventure for one... lifetime. Aye, I'd rather get back to the Great Sea, to my ship, and set sail for treasure!! Leave the adventuring for that kid and his pirate girlfriend.

... What do you mean I don't have a choice?! There's always a choice!!

Multiple Links? Monsters? A strong possibility of death?

... RUPEES THAT ATTACK PEOPLE?!!

[SWEATSWEAT... ahem... straightening his cravat]

No, I'll pass on this journey. Ah, no, it's perfectly ok! Go on without me! I have to guard the ship! What will become of the SS Linebeck without her swarthy captain? So obviously, I can't go!

Besides, if the kid is there, they certainly don't need me!

But cap'n a tower like that must have a stock pile of treasure somewhere! More loot than your ship could even carry!

[chickenofthesea]

[he folds his arms and looks thoughtful about that]

Surely... but is such a dangerous task worth the treasure...?

[a pause]

YES! Of course it is! Haha!! After all, I'm sure I can get that kid to help out again.

[cheese_for_everyone]

Yes of course!

[chickenofthesea]

... Waaait. You aren't trying to trick me, are you? [PROD] Not working for those hungry beasties, are you!

[cheese_for_everyone]

No of course not. I know treasure, I'm a prince after all!

That is the best journal name ever!

[windfish_waker]

Oh, big deal. Who cares about a few monsters?

djalksd thank you!

[chickenofthesea]

I care! My body cares! It likes to be in one piece! I may be a real man of the sea, but I'm a lover. Not a fighter.

[windfish_waker]

I see.

And what is it that you love, Mister...?

[chickenofthesea]

Not mister. Captain. Captain Linebeck! And I love treasure!.

[windfish_waker]

You love. Treasure.

Wow. Okay then. Captain Linebeck.

I don't know a lot about it. I'm sort of new to the whole questing thing. But don't monsters and treasure kinda go hand in hand?

[dragonspooker]

Hey, if I'm stuck in this crappy, no-treasure hell, it's only fair that other treasure-hunters are too!

[chickenofthesea]

So you're saying... there's no treasure there.

[dragonspooker]

Zero, silch, zip, nada! Nothing that I've found so far!

And if I do find any, it's mine!

[chickenofthesea]

Well of course!! Any treasure YOU find is obviously yours. Unless you misplace it and I re-find it. But that's not the point.

I'm definitely not going to that place!

[dragonspooker]

Ohhh, I think you are. You're on the list.

... omg that username is perfect - ALSO HERE HAVE ANIMOO'S WW

[cantstopme]

She's not my girlfriend - she's just my...
My friend-friend!

[Yep that's all he got out of that, sorry.]

YAY IT'S HIS LINK

[chickenofthesea]

Kid. She's a girl. She's your friend. You braved a ghost ship and a giant... squiddy thing... to save her.

[he folds his arms and gives you a GOOD LOOKING AT, BOY]

Are you saying you did all that for a woman you don't even love?

YEP \ouo/ also lmao Linebeck DON'T MAKE HIM QUESTION HIS FEELINGS

[cantstopme]

[... SCOFF.]

Of course I love her - but I love all of my friends! She's just my best friend, that's all!

[Says the one who gave her a big honking ruby in game. It's like the size of his head.
And that's saying something.]

YOUR FEELINGS ARE BEING BROUGHT INTO QUESTION, BOY.

[chickenofthesea]

Uh huh. Well, maybe when you're a little older, kid, you'll understand. [HEADPAT.] But just remember! The love between a man of the sea and a she-pirate is as dangerous and exciting as a lit powder keg! Better watch out you don't end up getting chased across the Great Sea by 'er.

HE IS TOO YOUNG FOR LOVE, LINEBECK!!!

[cantstopme]

[hey don't pat his head he is a strong hero ok!!]

I don't know what you mean. She's really nice; she wouldn't act weird like that.

Besides - we're just friends, okay?

[ocariness]

So you say now.

[ Sob. ]

Though, I have yet to find any chests not belonging to others, perhaps we simply have yet to find the treasure hidden in this place...?

I admit that I would have expected to have found a map or compass by now...

[chickenofthesea]

So I say ALWAYS! Harumph!

Yeah I-- [pause] .... You grew. Shot up like a weed, kid!

[ocariness]

Yes, people do that from time to time, from what I hear.

[ Slight sarcasm here.

... Anyway. ]

My point is, if they want you to go, there is sincerely no amount of protest possible to prevent it.

[chickenofthesea]

But I just saw you! [a huff and he straightens his coat a bit] I guess these are those "time shenanigans" my Mun was talking about. Ha.

But there has to be! She knows I've got important stuff to do! [like drink, pukes, fall asleep, and do it all again the next day.]

[ocariness]

Like what sort of important stuff? ... And I think you have the wrong timeline, definitely. I I would know, that is my area of expertise.

[ Seriously, Link is curious. Indulge them, Great Captain of the Sea. ]
