July catch-all
WHO: Link and you!
WHERE: The diner, various locations
WHAT: Link watches a mountain, and catches up with a few people
WHEN: After Calibrations
WARNINGS: Violence for Wesker's thread
i. Food glorious food [open]
There's a few things Link does right after getting out of Calibrations. Run around in a circle bigger than the waiting room. Climb a building, and then jump off of it. Jump into the lake, just for the hell of it.
But there's two things of real note he does. The first is change from the cozy winter clothes Lark made him into the light, breezy Gerudo Outfit he arrived in. With this much warmer weather, it's a lot more suitable. But it's a much more feminine look than what Link's been wearing before now.
The second thing he does - after doing a little hunting and gathering a few ingredients - is head straight for the diner and start cooking.
He makes fish pie. Apple pie. Meat stew. Sausages and creamy mashed potatoes. Glazed meat and pepper steaks. All the meals he made in the Calibrations dreams - except this time, they're real.
He brings them out into the diner. Sets them all out on a table, for others to share if they would like. Then grabs a bit of everything for his own plate - and settles down to eat with a happy sigh.
ii. Hylian dressup simulator [closed to Lark and Zelda]
Link does, of course, like wearing his Gerudo Outfit. It's nice being pretty, nice to wear shiny things that glitter and jangle musically. It's nice, for when he feels like being a vai.
But Link doesn't always want to be a vai. And he doesn't want to wear the Gerudo Outfit all the time. So he was already planning to ask Lark to make him something else that he can wear in this kind of weather.
And then, Zelda arrived. With only one outfit, and one not suited to this heat at all. And suddenly talking to Lark wasn't just something he should get around to at some point, but something he needed to do right now.
In his usual fashion, Link does not bother to knock on Lark's door. He just arrives with Zelda in tow, opens the door, and walks right in.
iii. Gotta shield them all [closed to Ash]
With this heat, Link decides that later in the afternoon - when the sun's gone down enough to take at least a bit of an edge of the heat - is the best time to start teaching Ash to use a shield.
He brings Ash to dunes just south of Temba. There's space to move - and dunes that they can use later, for shield-surfing.
Once there, he holds out his left arm - once which has the bracer Tony made attached to it. On his back he has a second shield - one made by Dustin - but it's the bracer which Ash will be using.
"Watch," Link tells Ash, as he balls his left hand into a fist. Brings it back up against his chest, in an emphasized flick. A soft hum, and the bracer actives - creating a hard light shield, in the shape of slightly squat oval with a ridge down the centre.
This is what Link wants Ash to learn how to use.
iv. Rocks fall, everybody...does not die? [locked to Wesker]
Link had just been hanging around on the top of a building when he spot the man, just down below. The one from the Calibrations dream, right before they'd been released.
The dream had been more than enough to show Link that this man was dangerous. Not just because he'd immediately moved to kill Link in the dream. Because also because of the memories he'd seen - ones that showed that this man was a killer.
He's right below. Just next to the building Link's on. And there's a few loose pieces of stonework up here.
He grabs one. It's large - bigger than Link's own torso. But not so large that Link can't lift it up, and drop it down below.
Down where it should land right on the man's head.
v. Wildcard!

That was definitely something. The little mouse packed one hell of a punch. But Link hadn't managed to parry, which meant he still hadn't demonstrated everything he wanted to.
He looks at Pikachu. Link's definitely looking worse for wear - but there's still unwavering determination in his eyes.
"Again," he says.
no subject
"PiKachu?" Pikachu asks, looking at Link in concern like he's asking if he's okay.
"I think so." Ash assures his friend. "But I really don't think we should use Thunderbolt like that again."
no subject
But then he's back to staring at Pikachu, a challenge clear in his eyes. His shield is held high, and Link's not done yet.
"Again!" he insists.
no subject
"Pikachu." The little mouse assures. Ash doesn't look convinced but he does trust his partner.
"If you're... sure." He says uncertainly and then shakes it off, regaining his usual confident enthusiasm. "Okay, let's do this!"
Ash and Pikachu back up again, Pikachu goes back to his original starting spot. "You ready buddy? Quick Attack!" Ash commands and Pikachu rushes back in, headed right for Link. Although, the quick attack is more to get his speed up again.
no subject
"Not that," he says. He stares at Pikachu. "Use your lightning."
no subject
"We will, we just have to build up momentum first." Ash explains. He's not sure why Link wants Pikachu to used thunderbolt like that again, but it isn't as if Ash hasn't done the very same thing. "This is the first battle we've had in a while."
"Pika." Pikachu nods.
no subject
If he needs to tap Pikachu a few more times to get him going, well. He'll do that.
no subject
"Pikapi?" Pikachu looks towards Ash for direction.
"I guess-Thunderbolt." He offers, since that's what Link wants.
"Pika..." Pikachu turns back to Link and summons more electricity before aiming it right for Link. "Chuu!"
no subject
The burst of electricity arcs towards Link. But just as it looks like it's about to hit, and shock Link again...
...he parries.
And now, the thunderbolt isn't just blocked - it's deflected back, streaking towards Pikachu.
no subject
"Pikachu, dodge!" Ash cries out in alarm as the attack is sent back Pikachu's way. Pikachu does not manage to get out of the way in time and the thunderbolt hits him hard and knocks him back. "Are you okay?"
"Pi..." Pikachu stand up back on all fours and gives his head a shake, though he's breathing a little harder than he had been but he does look ready to keep going.
"Pikachu, return." Ash says. Pikachu stops, looks back at Ash curiously before dashing over to stand by his side. Ash immediately kneels down to give him some reassuring pets and berry. "There's not Pokémon center buddy, I don't want you going all out."
"Pika. Pikachu." Pikachu says, taking the berry and chowing down. While he's doing that, Ash stands back up.
"I think we've had enough battling for now. But it was a lot of fun." He says with his same enthusiasm. He will find away to beat the shield-he just needs to think about it some first.
no subject
And at this point, with the battle over, Link disengages the shield. Takes off the bracer. And holds it out to Ash.
“Parrying can deflect a ranged attack,” he says. “Defence and offence can be the same.”
