After getting to the Village, York decides to...explore. He's been around for a bit, but hadn't actually met any of the aliens that decided to keep them here. There was a cabin he had picked out (it looked like Reeve and Richie beat him to it, which was fine), so he set down a couple of supplies he brought in case of emergency, and went out to explore.

First he wandered the village, being shoo'd away from the barn by the taller aliens. Huffing, he simply glared at them, made a couple of attempts to see around them, before wandering off. Exploring the gingerbread house was futile - he couldn't eat after all. The chocolate coins looked interesting enough, and the android was tempted to take some with. But he held off on doing so, exiting the building and heading off to explore the Agrii's ship.

It was far larger than their own, reminding York of that old television sitcom, Star Trek. Interesting. He heads in to get a look around. There's doors locked to him, and as much as the android wants to intrude, he thinks things over. He had made the mistake in breaking and entering once.

Nah, better to leave those doors alone after his experience with the library.

January 10th
This isn't his first rodeo, as the humans say, with New Tick things. Different setting, same festival it seemed. He remembers hanging out with Miss Lark with the glownies last year. With the mysterious barn finally open, York heads inside. What else is there for him to do?

Well, breaking and entering, but he's going to be a good android and... not do that. Not to the aliens that're being this hospitable. There's a face made at the wrapping paper, but he supposes it could be worse. Everything could be decked out in glitter, too. For the moment, he mingles with others, looking over the mysterious shapes of different presents. There are small ones, and then big ones. There's one that's got a shape like a woman? Or something? York watches the Agrii pick that one up to carry it out.

Huh. Wonder what that was all about.

Another that looked like a surfboard, and another one that York doesn't get a chance to examine before another alien carries that one out too. Hm. Maybe there are presents for the aliens mixed in with all of the he rows.

York finally stumbles upon two small ones with his name labeled on top. "Great. Hope its something useful this time." He finds a seat at a table to work the wrapping paper off (with probably more glitter somewhere). Teal eyes widen in surprise.

Inside is a rather nice suit, one York is certain Reeve would approve of, but also? Laid folded on top is a tie the android is 95% certain that Richie picked out. He barks out a laugh at the absurdity of it before moving onto the second gift. A small sewing kit, like one he would expect Miss Lark to use. York supposes it's to help maintain the suit and... tie.

The castle was very pretty for certain. He hadn't seen anything like it, even living in a snowy place like Detroit and New York City. So York follows the path up to it, admiring the ice castle from just outside. Unfortunately, that means there's glitter all over his shoes and the lower half of his pants. Damn it. Well that was going to be apart of him now. Though York does take a moment to make sure his synthskin is covering as much of the shell as possible, not wanting any of that bullshit in his hardware.

It makes him think of a movie, back home, a 'classic' at his timepoint, but the android shrugs the information away. It's not relevant. Instead he heads inside, noting that he needs to warm up his system, or at least get out of the cold to keep from freezing.

Quietly, York explores. He's got his hands in his hoodie pouch, taking in the features of the castle. It's impressive to say the least, made completely out of ice. Ice caverns are a thing, but to sculpt something of this size is no small feat. York wants to get his hands on the blueprints of this place.

To no one specific, York starts to speak. Except...

"Do you think there are blueeeeprints?" comes the sung out line and York stops short, eyes big. What the? A quick check of his software - no, nothing wrong. He was supposed to talk, not sing... "Bluuuuuuepriiiiiints," he sings again before clamping a hand over his mouth.

What the hell?!

York smirks a little, but he's not feeling mean about it. "Nah, not if you tie it right. But you gotta be programmed. Er, uh, taught. Taught how to do it properly. If I wanted to choke you with it now, I could. But how I had it? Nah."

He gives a thoughtful tilt of his head. "Want me to show you how to tie it?"

Link looks at the tie, then at York. And then shrugs.

Sure - why not?

York reaches over to undo the tie, letting it hang open so Link can mimic the tying process. "Consider it a little gift for bringing me stuff...for Halloween."

Like a weird Halloween Santa Claus. York keeps that part to himself. For now he only wants to try explaining how to tie a tie.

The android starts explaining it, guiding Link's hands with his own on where to tuck and pull and other such techniques to get it into place. After some hiccups and a restart or two, the tie sits neatly against Link's neck with the dinosaurs down against his chest.

"Not bad. Quick learner I think."

Link is, indeed, a quick learner. Sure enough, he's soon able to reasonably replicate York's knot. It might not be a perfect Windsor, but it's serviceable.

He looks down at the tie. Gives it a little yank. It seems secure enough, though Link still eyes it with a faintly dubious expression. Maybe it's not about to strangle him, but he still doesn't seem particularly keen on the look of it.

Except for the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs he likes. They'd make a good paraglider fabric.

"...Thanks?"

York's finding he likes the dinosaurs, too. Usually they're not his thing, but they remind him of Richie. Maybe the Agrii didn't give him this tie, but Richie did and the aliens are taking the credit.

"Not bad. We'll have to get the Agrii to get you one of your own. You like dinosaurs? Maybe they've got another in stock somewhere. Or we could ask Richie. This looks like some shit he'd wear." He reaches up to give the tie a little tug. "I do want it back though. It goes with the suit I got."

Link gladly hands the tie back. Though - even if he's not really keen on them as a fashion item - he wouldn't object if York managed to wrangle one for him in the future. Though that might have more to do with the fact that Link will collect anything and everything like a magpie.

One thing, though, needs clarification.

"Dinosaurs are the lizards?" he says.

York takes his tie back and is about to put it away when Link asks the question. So he unfurls it a little to lay over his palm. It shows off the dinosaurs. "These? They're part of the family called archosaurs, which includes crocodiles and pterosaurs and some birds. Reptiles, I guess you could say easier. It excludes lizards and snakes though, and other little creatures that are extinct in my world."

He rolls the tie back up to put in his pocket. "Do you guys have creatures like crocodiles in your world? Semi-aquatic reptiles that are long and can look like logs when they're half-submerged in the water?"

Link thinks about this for a moment.

"...We have lizalfos," he says. "They don't look like logs."

So...probably not these logs that York is talking about. Even if they were also long, and semi-aquatic.

Lizalfos. Why did the former Queen of England come to mind? Probably the Liz part at the start of the name. "Sometime I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a picture book, or someone who's familiar with them enough to draw one for you."

If he had a wireless printer, York could do it that way, but alas. He got very nice clothes this year to match with his parental units.

"What kind of land is Hyrule? I know it's very different from mine, and not of Earth it seems."

Link thinks about this for a moment.

Other than Agra-10 - and this planet - he'd never been anywhere else. He didn't know what 'Earth' was like. How could he describe his home?

"Big. Beautiful." Much had changed since Link woke up in the Shrine of Resurrection. And even more since he and Zelda descended beneath the castle. "...There are islands in the sky now."

Link and York were in the same metaphorical boat. Until he had come to Temba, going any other place outside of the continental United States wasn't really something he experienced. Detroit, Malibu, New York City - those were really the only places he knew of.

He looks surprised. "Islands in the sky? How do they stay up there? That's a feat against the laws of gravity that I've ever heard. I know of airplanes, blimps, and hot air balloons that can travel through the sky, but that's all temporary really. Actual land masses in the sky? That'd be an interesting study."

Link thinks about this, for a moment. How did the sky islands stay up there?

"...Zonai technology?" he says, after a while. "Maybe hover stones."

Zo...Zonai technology. York wants one of those rocks so he can study it now. Something that needs to be studied.

For science!

Specifically the hover stones of course. If they could some how get their hovering rocks... Maybe next year's New Tick he could ask for some. Would the aliens get him a gift from another realm?

"I wouldn't mind getting my hands on stones that do that. Hover, I mean." He reaches down and picks up a lone rock that somehow made it in the building for the purpose of this post. He tosses it gently up in the air and it goes right back down in the palm of his hand. "This is all rocks and stones do in my world. They're effected by gravity constantly, so the Zonai technology you talk about must've been able to somehow bypass that so their stuff can hover. Float. Whatever."

"...I don't have any," Link says. "And I don't know how it works. The Zonai are all dead."

Dead for a long, long, long time.

Link falls silent for a moment. York wants to see one, though. Wasn't there any way to show him?

"Could try the replicator?" he says. But...he doesn't sound sure. Could he replicate something that he doesn't really understand?
