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!

"It grows on you, but it's also addictive," Tommy says with a shrug. "And you need to use the facilities more. And it can make you shaky if you drink too much but you haven't eaten. Lots of down sides."

He should try Link's, but he's worried about how it's going to hit him.

"Exactly," he says. "If your body is used to caffeine then you get headaches if you haven't had it recently enough."

So to Tommy it's worth dealing with.

Oh god. Tommy looks... nervous about it. Which is silly. It's his shade of green.

"It's not going to make me sick?"

There is that. It's a point he hadn't even thought of, and it makes him laugh. That gives him confidence to try this that he hadn't had before. He grabs the container, throws it back in one swig, and...

"Oh fuck," he says with a laugh as he feels the energy flood through him. "New task dude, take these to the caves and see if it powers them up."

"Yeah. The caves. They soup up powers and magic and all of that."

He didn't go to them himself because his powers got unmanagable.

"Off of the beach. Not hard to find. In addition, there's hot springs there."

Ones Tommy unfortunately can't risk. Which is going to be an experience after the ships leave actually.

Like Tommy's gonna stop him. He's got energy and that means time to fucking pickle shit. He's excited.
