April catch-all
WHO: Link and Dustin, Tommmy, Radley, and you!
WHERE: Various places in and around Temba and Sh'ka
WHAT: Link goes hunting, bothers Dustin, makes some dubious drinks and attempts to contact the Funfronds
WHEN: In the weeks after the Ah! Real Monsters! Event
WARNINGS: animal murder
i. Senseless animal murder aka Hunting [open]
Link's hunting more frequently these days. Mainly because he learned, much to his dismay, that without his korok-enchanted pack he doesn't have a good way to keep meat long-term. So rather than doing a lot of hunting at once, he needs to head out regularly for smaller kills that he can cook that day.
So he can frequently be found in the forests outside Temba - or Sh'ka, if he happens to be there instead - moving swiftly and silently, his compound bow at the ready.
Between the trees, he spots one of the small, dinosaur-like Gallies. Crouches down, and inches further. Before drawing his bow, aiming right for the creatures head, and letting the arrow go.
ii. You can never have too many shields [closed to Dustin]
Dustin had made Link promise not to tell anyone about the Workshop, or where it was. A promise he had absolutely taken seriously, and had kept.
What Dustin had not done, however, was make Link promise not to show up there whenever he felt like it.
The challenge, however, was getting in to the workshop. Dustin had evidently left a puzzle for Link, because he soon found that the door was locked and the windows boarded up. But there was this little square flap at the bottom of the back door. If Link takes of his Sword and bow and makeshift shield - and carefully lays them next to the flap - he might be able to squeeze through.
Which he, of course, immediately proceeds to attempt to do.
iii. Making The Frog Drink [closed to Tommy and Radley]
This wasn't Link's first time cooking at the diner. He'd become a bit of a regular, actually - though he was always happy to cook for everyone else around too, when he was there. Sometimes making unusually elaborate dishes using whatever new and interesting ingredients he'd managed to find.
Today, however, it was a bit different. Today, Link was experimenting.
Thanks to the Agriculture datapoint, he knew how to make something close to the elixirs he made back in Hyrule with local plants. But the datapoint didn't tell him anything about using animals, or insects. Which meant Link had to figure out what he could make by pure trial and error.
The end result of this was Link cooking up an increasingly odd series of concoctions, using things like butterflies, beetles, lizards, crabs, grasshoppers. And, of course, frogs.
Link had a good feeling about the frog. This one, he was sure, was going to do something.
iv. Are these the new Koroks? [closed to Funfronds]
Link had heard about the Funfronds from Dustin. Knew at least a little of what they were, from the Dictionary. But hearing about them was one thing - Link wanted to see them for himself.
And he was so very, very curious.
So, he's staked out the ruins near the greenhouse, late one evening. Thought a little about how he might indicate he was friendly to them. He ended up combing through the ruins, and leaving an apple or other piece of small fruit whenever he found a little nook or cranny. He didn't know if the Funfronds were anything like Koroks, but if they were - well, maybe they'd appreciate the gifts too? Course, Koroks also liked thinks like Link picking up rocks, and shooting balloons, and jumping into circles of lilies in the water...
...Maybe he'd try those later. If the apples didn't work. For now, though, he just sits in one corner in the ruins. And waits.
V. Wildcard!

"Animals are different. Some need meat to survive. Some things die, so others live."
no subject
Ash is still glaring up at Link, still holding on to the poor creature that Link was just trying to hunt. But he'd never thought about it like that-he knows that people and Pokemon die but he doesn't think anyone should be speeding up the process.
He doesn't say anything and just looks down at the Gallie in his hands. Even so, he's now made friends with this one, he could never just walk away from it now.
no subject
Then he looks back at Ash, silent for a few moments. Ash doesn't seem to like the explanation either. Though Link hadn't really expected otherwise.
"...I won't hunt that one." Though he won't stop hunting. Hunting is a means of survival, a way for Link to stay healthy. He won't apologise for that. But he can still have sympathy for a kid who clearly struggles with the concept of death, and avoid killing something right in front of them.
no subject
"But what if the others are this one's friends?" He demands.
"Pika. pikapika, pikachu?" Pikachu has turned his attention on the Gallie. It doesn't seem to understand.
no subject
He won't make promises he won't keep. It's clear that what Ash really wants is something that is utterly out of the question for Link to give - to never hunt again.
no subject
"Pikapi..." Pikachu says, ready to move on from this staring contest.
no subject
He straightens. Looks around the forest around them. Link knows that he is not the only predator in these woods. Though at least he knows that Pikachu will be a formidable opponent to anything that might decide to make Ash lunch.
"Be careful," he says. "Don't jump in front of arrows."
And then he starts walking away.
no subject
"Pikapi. Pika pikachu chu pika?" He demands.
"I didn't lie!" Ash says, sounding alarmed. "Pokemon do eat berries." He points out. Pikachu sighs.
"Pikachu." He says flatly.
"He doesn't need to know about that." Ash waves off Pikachu's point and then sets the Gallie down. Time to find some berries for all of them to eat and think about what to do about this hunting thing or if there was anything to be done.
