Being apped to Tower of Animus....

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!

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.

[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?

[yes yes of course you are.

You're also the tiniest. Tiny enough for Linebeck to lean on. Which is what he's gonna do.]

Ah well, you never know! Women. They're wily creatures. Doubly so, if they're pirates! Hoo... You never know what they'll do next.

Well, if you say so, kid.

[Wh - hey rude. SHOVE.]

Don't just lean on me like that! You're heavy!

[OH DID YOU SAY SOMETHING]

Ohh, but you're a big, strong hero! Twice over, right? I'm just a featherweight, kid!

[SHOVE SHOVE PUSH]

Don't be rude just 'cause you're bigger than me - so what if I'm strong?

[Hey bro, these power bracelets could let him toss you, just so you know.]

[he huffs and then stands straight up again.]

Well if you're going to whine so much about it...!

So tell me, kid. These rumors about toothy rupees. They're just rumors... right?

... Nope. They're all over the tower, sorry. They bite you and take your stuff and disappear with it!

It happened to my friend, and he lost a whole arm trying to get it back.

[He's over exaggerating the last bit of course - but only because that Link lost his arm to a shark, not the rupee.]

Even if you cut grass and find them, they're the bad kind! Chests are filled with nothing but bad rupees!

[Linebeck visibly pales. Be brings a hand up to his face and makes a very unmanly squeaking noise]

Oh noo!! Say it isn't so!! You're just pulling my leg, right? My beautiful, precious rupees could never be so cruel! Biters AND thieves! Ooohh.... I feel faint...

[he sinks to his knees. OH THE DRAMA...]

Life isn't worth living...!

... It's not that bad.

[He's just going to pat Linebeck's shoulders, like he's some pathetic person.
Oh wait.]

Some people have normal rupees in the tower. You just have to be really nice to them.

[is that manly sobbing.

of course not]

I heard... I heard you come with a chest... with your stuff... MY rupees won't be transmogrified... please say they won't!

No, they'll be okay. They'll just be rupees.

And they're not transmof... transmo... transmogger...

... They don't get turned evil. The rupees the tower makes are the only evil ones!

[there's an "ahem" and Linebeck straightens back up, giving the lapels of his coat a jerk]

Well then! I'll manage! After all, I've faced down monsters and temples and other such things! As long as I have a pocket-full of friendly rupees [and a belly full of whiskey] I'll be just fine.

... I think I'm not going to come save you if you get attacked by monster rupees.

[this guy...]

Edited 2012-03-21 06:15 (UTC)

Wh... why not!! I don't have a sword! You have a sword! You're the... sword... guy!

[ahem]

But it's not like I need your help. I'm a sailor! I can handle a few bitey gems!

Well - if you can handle bitey gems, I guess you can handle a lot of stuff, huh?

.... Are you saying there's worse stuff than evil rupees.

How 'bout lobsters that walk and are bigger than you?

And monsters that look like a bunch of people mashed together?

[Those are worse than evil rupees.]

And there's a lot more, too.

I can take'em of course, since I'm a strong hero, but you...

[with each new monster he describes, Linebeck gets paler and paler and paler... he turns around so that Link can't see his face and folds his arms]

Er, well. Naturally! I've seen scarier stuff in the bilge! But, you know, is it really necessary? To... ah... fight them?

If you wanna live when they're chasing you, yeah. Lots of them are really fast.

[Ooooh, he's so getting to you, Linebeck. He's grinning, now that the other isn't looking at him - but if he turns back around, the kid's gonna put on a serious face again.]

Sometimes I can't even run away from them!

....

...........

...

.................

[there's no response to that. Just a visible shudder]

...

There's one that sucks out all of your guts, too.

[more silence.

then...

THUD

LINEBECK fainted!

LINK gained 492 exp!]

[wow only 492 that's pretty shitty exp]

[well you fainted Linebeck, what do you want.]
