...Nah, I don't mind helping out at that Tower place. Sounds like they need it.

[That is, if he's right about almost everyone there not being able to handle a "blackout", whatever that is. Really, if it's a matter of no "climate control" or "electric lights" or nobody around to just serve him food or take out his trash, it sounds...nor...mal? To him? And that's with the monsters, which is the only thing he gets that a lot of people might not be used to. Really now, doesn't anyone there know how to fish? There's a lake on one of the floors, right?]

But, uh...you and your friend.

Could y'all stop calling me "Snoopy"?

I don't even know who that is...

[sky_child]

She keeps calling me Shortcake. And she doesn't even like Scrapper! Why does she keep acting like him...?

[cant_be_tamed]

[Must...refrain from...commenting.]

I can kinda see the point with telling us apart when they're talking, but...

[It's...apt???]

OH HEY it's that one guy from that one game who fucks everything up

[lostwanderer]

At least you're glad to be going somewhere else...

_{Why couldn't she just leave me behind...}

[sky_child]

Why "Shortcake"?

And...who's Snoopy?

[cant_be_tamed]

...Couldn't tell ya.

And the Snoopy thing...I dunno, but it sounds like a dog's name, which...come on.

Yeah, dog jokes. Hah hah hah. [The laughter being completely monotone.]

[cant_be_tamed]

...Problems?

[This sounds like the beginning of a sidequest, to be perfectly frank.]

[sky_child]

[ Shortcake refrains from commenting on the dog joke thing and may look a little shifty and trying to keep that slight quirk at the edge of his lips from turning into anything vaguely resembling a grin. ]

...yeah, I guess...

[warriorscribe]

You're going there, too?

*Right, this is Armaros's mundane, he shouldn't be too terribly surprised they're looking at the same places...he just hasn't been in the best state of mind to really consider that until forced to.*

...You do realize that going there means the destruction of your world?

[lostwanderer]

...Spoken like someone who doesn't know what problems are.

*seriously do you not see the whole demonic-looking thing going on here.*

[cant_be_tamed]

...What?

[He saw that...]

[cant_be_tamed]

[Wow that...sounds a bit...self-involved of you??]

Uh, I'm pretty sure everyone's got problems, sir.

[sky_child]

Huh?

[ Link seems genuinely confused! ]

[cant_be_tamed]

Mmn. [He is, yes.]

Well, they could be lying about that. Or, I guess the "official" thing is that they're trying to restore the worlds, but I'm not gonna trust anyone there as far as I can throw a Goron, y'know?

[What...does that turn of phrase mean?]

It'll be fine. [Nods sagely, yes.]

[warriorscribe]

Given the hiatus rules, I'm not sure of it. *At least that's a feasible defense mechanism once they're in. If he just tells himself they're lying...

He nods wordlessly at Link's optimism. Yeah. Everything will be fine. No problem, right?*

[cant_be_tamed]

[Stares...

at....Shorty...a little too intensely for a normal person.

...And then he breaks it off, like he was just messing with the guy.]

Nah, nevermind. So...you're from where Ooccoo is from? [Except, you know.

Thousands of years in the past?]

[sky_child]

Huh?

[ HE KEEPS PRESSING DOWN BUT FI WON'T ANSWER HIM! HE NEEDS HINTS! HINTS GOGDAMMIT!!! ]

[lostwanderer]

*oh hey someone notices*

Has someone you cared about more than anything in the world been ripped away from you, forever?

[cant_be_tamed]

[Right!! It also helps that it's an actual Thing that his spirit is unbreakable. Thanks, Goddesses.]

Even then, there's...someone there I know who's looking to start trouble.

[Can't abide by that, of course.]

[cant_be_tamed]

...Ooccoo. She's this...uh. [His hands move, like he's trying to conjure a good way to describe her, but nothing's coming of it.]

She's like this bird? But one that can talk, and she has this human-looking face... I dunno what her deal is.

[We just don't know.]

[sky_child]

.

[cant_be_tamed]

...Not forever, but there was this scary moment when I thought that was gonna happen, yeah.

[cant_be_tamed]

...Hello?

[Did you break or something?]

[lostwanderer]

Unless you've lost someone who you can consider to be part of your own soul... How can you know what I've been through?

[sky_child]

[ what are you talking about he has an unbreakable spirit!

And a breakable mind, apparently.

Or maybe he has just zoned out and is wondering what it'd be like if his Loftwing started talking (spoilers: it's this). ]

[cant_be_tamed]

[He gets quiet and gets a little bit closer to what's apparently his ancestor.

Closer...

...And...

Claps his hands once really loudly right in front of his face.]
