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!

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?

[chickenofthesea]

Of course I love treasure! Silly woman. What else would I like? Rupees, gems, gold, coins, it's all good!

Sometimes. Not always! Something treasure is just sitting around, easy to get! Or dig up.

[windfish_waker]

You go digging on Koholint and all you get are seashells.

And I have a name, you know. I'm not "silly woman."

[chickenofthesea]

And some seashells are worth rupees!

Well, what is it?

[windfish_waker]

For your purposes...let's go with Marin.

[chickenofthesea]

Haa? What's that supposed to mean? Don't be so cruel!

[windfish_waker]

Oh, I'm not being cruel. I'm just a silly woman.

[chickenofthesea]

[he huffs. SEES WHAT YOU DID THERE.] So what then, Miss Marin?

[windfish_waker]

Is there anything else to say, Captain?

[chickenofthesea]

Noooot that I can think of.

[windfish_waker]

Well...maybe you could sail your ship to Koholint sometime?

[chickenofthesea]

Koholint, Koholint... I haven't heard of Koholint. [he hums thoughtfully as he digs in his coat, then pulls out a well-worn sea chart. It has the known Great Sea on it, as well as some notes from Linebeck himself] I've never heard of that island. Where's it at?

[windfish_waker]

I...I don't know, really. Link thinks it's somewhere between Hyrule and Holodrum, but that doesn't mean much to me.

[chickenofthesea]

... Huh. Well. Hyrule is under the ocean, and Holodrum, I haven't heard of. [he rolls back up the chart] Sorry, Miss Marin. I don't know if I can get there!

[windfish_waker]

Oh.

Too bad...

[chickenofthesea]

Something to do with all these time shenanigans, I'd assume... I read that a long time ago, there was no Great Sea. It was called Hyrule, before the goddesses flooded it.

[windfish_waker]

Link never said anything about flooding to me.

I'll have to harass him for more information. If there's something he's not telling me...

[chickenofthesea]

[he strokes his beard a bit, thoughtful] It seems like there's a lot of time shenanigans going on here... maybe it hasn't happened for you, yet.

[windfish_waker]

You mean time-wise?

[chickenofthesea]

[a nod]

[windfish_waker]

Oh, not that again.

Link and I dealt with time shenanigans awhile back. It wasn't pretty.
