Reserves open at wishingscales, a LoZ: MM game

[moonchildren]

The lost ones... are coming. The storm... It brings them.

I... can hear them. You... Can you... hear them, too?

I wonder... What kind of... people they are?

Are they... kind? Or brave? Maybe wise... or powerful. Magic... Do these people... seek the power it holds?

Masks... Do they... like them? I wonder... if they like the masks... they wear.

I wonder... what they'll do.

Will they save us? Will they save themselves?

This game... Will they play?

[becominghope]

Eheh, I'm not really sure about any of that, either...

[moonchildren]

Do you like games?

[splitthetimeline]

Hrmmm... That depends on the games you play.

[moonchildren]

The game... We don't... want it. It's... a bad... game.

But if we don't... play... Everyone loses.

[whereibelong]

I... don't know about any games, but... I'm just going to be trying to get home.

[moonchildren]

Home... I wonder... What would... you do... to get there?

[yesteryear]

[Game?

What kind of game, the boy wonders. Will it be alright, will it be an actual game? He's heard of many games in this place, but none of them really sound like games. Still, it doesn't hurt to try, but... talking is crucial to things like this. How does he communicate if he can't talk?

So instead, the boy stares.]

[moonchildren]

The game... It is... real. Not... all games... are fun.

I wonder... If you could... wear... a mask? It would show... everyone... your mind.

[spiritofadventure]

I guess we'll find out when we get there, huh?

[moonchildren]

I wonder... Will you... have fun... here?

[pervertflea]

... Heh. What a bunch of weird kids!

You sound pretty profound for a buncha twerps.

[moonchildren]

Masks... Do you... like them?

[fishcord]

Masks can be fun! [And Feferi jumps right in on the conversation.] What kind of masks are you talking about, though?

[moonchildren]

Masks... for hiding.

Masks... for running.

Masks... for finding.

Masks... for changing.

[lostwanderer]

...I only ever wanted one power.

I don't even know if it worked.

[moonchildren]

I wonder... What would... you do... if it didn't?

[sallynooksucker]

OH YEAH LIKE THAT'S NOT TOTALLY CREEPY...

[moonchildren]

Do you... know... what your mask... is like?

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

I like games! They're, uh...fun! My mun tells me that, this is going to, uh, be a fun game and that, I'll like it. And also, masks are, um, pretty cool!

[moonchildren]

I wonder... Do you... know... what's behind... masks?

[caligulas_aquarium]

i dont knoww about masks in general but your one is fuckin stupid

[moonchildren]

That's not... very nice.

[girldefective]

What kind of game is it? Hide and seek?

[moonchildren]

Hide and seek... while keeping... an egg... from falling... off a spoon... you hold... in your mouth.

whoops and then I AAAAAU'd

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[She's just sitting off to the side, resting her chin in her hands; her own mask is topping the side of her head, like an odd little hat.]

Not everyone recognizes their own masks.
When you are born wearing one, it doesn't take long to accept it as your true face.

[A pause.]

Are you lonely?

[moonchildren]

No. I just don't want to play with them.

[Them being the other Moon Children.]

[kingunmaker]

... Oh, I'm certain that they will. People can never resist the allure and rewards of a game properly played.

[moonchildren]

Not everyone... likes... to play. Some... are tired.

[saber_sayaka]

Give me a reason why I should submit to anyone's game ever again. Have I not gone through enough?

[Killed enough? Destroyed enough?]

[moonchildren]

Don't be angry with us. We're not responsible for the game.

You don't have to play. But if you do, maybe you'll win.
