May catch-all / The Sports games [Open]
WHO: Link and you!
WHERE: The Hangar / 'sports area', The Deep End
WHAT: Link does ALL OF THE GAMES. And visits a bar
WHEN: During and after the Sports Games
WARNINGS: None yet
i. Illegal frog drinks [closed to Tae]
Link was very enthusiastic about the games. Very, very enthusiastic. To the point where he essentially spent all available time madly running around, doing all of the games he could. And then running around and doing them all again.
Eventually of course, he ran low on energy. But that was okay - because he'd figured out how to make a good Stamina Elixir earlier. Which he decides to drink midway through the first day.
It's bright green. He doesn't make any effort to hide it as he skulls the thing in the middle of the 'sports area'. And immediately after drinking it, he perks up.
Now he can do go all of the games again!
ii. Balloon popping [Open]
Link has an interesting approach to the balloon popping. He stands on the chair, his compound bow drawn. And then when the timer starts, he jumps off of the chair and aims the bow.
As he hands in mid air, time slows down - allowing him to line up multiple shots at the balloons. To everyone else, it will look like Link is shooting impossibly fast. Then he lands and runs to where the balloons popped, trying to grab the points out of the air before they even hit the ground.
It probably only makes finding the points in amongst the glitter only a little easier. But he seems to make it work anyway.
iii. Climbing wall [Open]
Link does all of the games multiple times. But the climbing wall? That one he repeats to possibly ridiculous levels.
He doesn't bother with the ladder at the back. He just zooms up the wall with sheer climbing skill and ability. The fact that Link is good at this particular game is probably a surprise to absolutely no one who has already seem him climbing all over Temba and Sh'ka.
Eventually though, Link gets bored of climbing the normal way - and starts calling on Revali's Gale, a gust of wind accompanied by the spirit of a Rito. It launches him up into the air, and then Link just grabs onto the wall, getting a quick and immediate boost at the start.
iv. Paraglider Please [Open]
The moment Link has enough points, there's only one thing he's after.
The paraglider.
It looks different from the one Tony directed him towards. It's a lot smaller, and just made of wood and fabric rather than any more advanced materials. When folded up, it doesn't take up much space at all. But it's Link's, and he wants it back.
"Paraglider please!" he says to the projecting managing the prizes, before urgently grabbing at it the moment it's in range.
v. The Deep End [Closed to Cayde]
A few days after the sports event is over, Link takes a few pieces of the mgoose's anters that had broken off as he shoved them into his room at the Hotel. Then he makes his way to a place he hasn't actually explored yet, but which he's managed to find marked on his map - the Deep End.
When he walks in, he gives the bar a quick glance - but it's the wall of windows looking out into the lake's water that he's immediately drawn to. He moves over to the windows, staring out at the underwater landscape and aquatic life.
vi. Wildcard!
[[OOC: Choose your own adventure! Let me know if you'd like to set up anything not covered by the above. Particularly for the sports games - Link's doing pretty basically everything, so he is easy to run into at whichever game you want]]

no subject
Link, however, is very aware that he did not do a good job. He's not an amazing singer, sure, but he's decent enough - however, he did miss most of the lyrics.
"...I'll try again." Because clearly, Link needs to complete the task in front of him. And that task is to Sing The Song, With All Of the Words. Even if he's a bit lost on what all of them are trying to say.
He presses the button to make the song play again.
no subject
Cayde is still kind of trying to figure out whether to laugh or not at the first performance, but Link's already decided on doing an encore.
"Uh, sure?" Well, it'll be entertaining at least?
no subject
And indeed, this time - after having at least heard the song once before - he does better. He doesn't manage to follow the right rhythm and timing all of the time, or hit all of the right notes. But he does, at least, manage to sing most of the words.
no subject
The performance, while not perfect, is still admirable and it's clear it's something Link at least has heard before.
The Exo grants him a round of applause once he's finished. Either way, it takes guts to be willing to belt out a tune in front of a stranger!
no subject
At the applause, he blinks. Somehow, he hadn't been expecting that.
"Did I beat it?" Has he succeeded in this challenge, Cayde? It's your machine - surely you would know.
no subject
"You have officially completed the karaoke rite of passage. You now have the power to challenge people to karaoke duels if it so pleases you."
no subject
"...Karaoke duels?"
It had not occurred to him that this was a competition in which other people could be involved.
no subject
Which is Cayde's roundabout way of suggesting Link totally should.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Defeating just the machine, at least, is easier.
He looks back at Cayde. “Have you?” He’s got the machine. Surely he must have used it, at least once.
no subject
no subject
"Did you win?"
no subject
no subject
"...Races are better." At least then, it was clear who won.
no subject
no subject
Really, he's just not sold on the idea of a competition that requires judges at all. Surely it's better when victory is clear and uncomplicated - and doesn't need someone to make a judgement about who won.
no subject
"You ever do anything for fun? Even competition can be fun, you know. Take things too seriously and you miss the whole point."
no subject
"Shield surfing. Sand-seal racing. Paragliding."
no subject
"-what's Sand-seal racing?"
no subject
no subject
"So like...by sand-seal do you mean that this is actually in like a desert or something? Because seals are ocean critters so far as I'm aware of, back home anyway, and surfing was a pre-Golden Age sport that was mostly done in the sea."
no subject
"They swim in the sand."
He actually hadn't realised that there were other seals, that swam in the sea instead. Could you go surfing with them too...?
no subject
He's not too keen about the sand part though. That stuff gets everywhere. Only slightly better than sinking like a rock in the water though. Needless to say, surfing isn't really a sport Cayde's ever considered taking up.
no subject
Surely, Cayde would enjoy sand-seal surfing too, if he were to ever get the chance. The potential issues with sand...do not occur to Link.
Then Link falls silent. He's given Cayde the antler. Gotten a knife. Even managed to defeat the curious karaoke machine. At this point, there's really nothing else Link has to say.
So he just says, "Bye." And starts making for the door.
