[Open] November log
WHO: Link and you!
WHERE: Temba, Sh'Ka, the Beach
WHAT: Link attempts to celebrate 'Halloween', searches for things Dustin left behind, and attempts to build a raft.
WHEN: Somewhere during November
WARNINGS: None so far
i. Treat or Treat?
One evening, as the people of Temba and Sh'Ka reside in their homes - wherever that may be - many will find that they suddenly have a pointy eared visitor. He hasn't bothered to knock, or make his presence known before entering. He's just walked - or climbed - right in without any hesitation.
Once inside, he'll find you. And then he'll hold out his hands a small package filled with small cakes, honeyed fruits, and candies.
"Treat," he says, as he presses the package towards you.
Link may have gotten a few of the details about how 'Halloween' was meant to work a little wrong. And also the date.
ii. Mementos from Dustin (cue Get Item sound effect)
Link missed Dustin.
The other teen had been grumpy. Constantly irritable. Downright unfriendly really, most of the time. And yet...Link had still liked him. He'd been a friend, even if Link doubted Dustin would ever admit that.
But Dustin was gone now. Link wasn't sure where. But Link felt...compelled, to try and do something to look after what Dustin left behind.
Most of it was under rubble. But Link was stubborn enough to shift all the debris and rubble that was once Dustin's workshop, and search some of Dustin's other hiding places. Not that Dustin had told Link where his hiding places were. But Link spent a lot of time climbing up the sides of buildings. You could see a lot, that way.
Eventually, Link's luck and stubbornness pays off. From within the rubble, he pulls free his prize - a large sack. Reaching inside, he pulls forth an exiting find - large volcanic rocks, and clippings from plants. He holds one of the rocks, making a soft noise of appreciation as he admires it's shiny surface. Treasure!
iii. Get the duct tape, we're building a raft
One day, while at the beach, Link looked out at the ocean. Looked at those islands, just barely visible off in the distance. And wondered, what's over there?
And of course, now that he'd wondered, he just had to find out.
Over a few days, Link could be seen pulling all sorts of things to the beach. Logs from trees he'd chopped down with the Master Sword when Zelda wasn't looking. Rope he's scrounged up. Large, massive leaves from the greenhouse.
When he starts using the rope to tie everything together, it won't be difficult at all for an observer to tell what Link's building: a raft.
[[ooc note: If you'd like your character to explore the islands with Link, feel free to have them express IC interest here! Alternatively, you can just let me know oocly that you'd like to get involved - PM, discord and plurk are all good. Once I know who's in and have the info from the mods, I'll put up a separate log for the actual exploration.]]

It's a question, but he's not going to try to stop Link. Not that he could if he wanted to. "Thanks for the plants at least. I'll let Richie know you left gifts for him. Honestly this is like Santa for Christmas, instead of Halloween. Or maybe this is a new spin to combine the two since we don't have either here on Temba."
no subject
Just as he's about to hop out of the window, however, York makes reference to another holiday Link's never heard of.
"...Santa for Christmas?"
no subject
He blinks and pulls up information. "Uh, yeah. I don't know if you celebrate a different holiday because there are so many in the winter, but corporation Christmas involves some magical old man named Santa Claus that goes from house to house via a magical sled pulled by reindeer. He magics his way into the house to leave presents for children all in the span of one night. But there's other holidays. Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Yule along with Christmas are the big ones that I know of."
no subject
And none of the names York listed off sound familiar. Even if he doesn't remember something, usually he still knows words if he's heard them before.
"I...don't think we have those?"
no subject
"Oh. I think people celebrate it all differently. Some are religious, others celebrate it as the longest and darkest night of the year. We only exchanged gifts in my family. New parts, clothes and such. This is kind of what you're doing, but that's not a bad thing. Just... an observation I'm making. Do they have anything similar where you're from?"
no subject
But when York asks about whether there's any similar celebration in Link's world, he pauses. "I...don't know?"
no subject
He raises a brow and makes a face before he can stop his programming from doing so. "You don't know? But you're from... your world. How would you not know if there's a winter holiday?"
no subject
And slept for 100 years. Even if he could remember what people celebrated at winter - who knew how much those traditions would have changed?
