WHO: Zelda and you
WHERE: All around!!
WHEN: All October
WHAT: Quest Prompts
WARNINGS: RAMPAGE(??)

I. Local holy woman attacks skeleton with its own arm.

Foul creatures! [ thwack- ] Do you see a blood moon up in the sky, beckoning the darkness of calamity? [ smack- ] No! So begone!

[ BASH--

and away the skeleton shambles, almost certainly going straight toward you in its escape attempts... and it's missing an arm? from just a couple feet away stands 5'5 zelda with that missing skeleton arm in her hand, brandished like a weapon. yes you better believe she's even priming it with some soft hits against the palm of her hand like it's a goddamn club. this is how you do it in hyrule baby. ]

Go on, take it out! Teach it a lesson about encroaching on the safety of the town. Unholy abominations such as these cannot be given leeway.

[ "hey zelda, chill" - no, this happens all the time in hyrule and she hates it. ]

II. Local holy woman rounds up kickball team with a skeleton head.

Think fast.

[ to whoever you may be, she's tossing a ball over to you -- no just kidding, it's the head of a skeleton she whacked off. it's still shaking a little, the last vestiges of its cursed existence still clinging on for dear life! fun! ]

Give it a swift kick to that shambling hoard over there - [ pointing to a few skeletons sadly shambling over ] - I want to conduct a test and take notes. It's for the good of the quest.

[ do it for science. and also because she hates skeletons, but sure the quest. do it.

(also she's still carrying the arm of a skeleton like a weapon, because that's just what you do in hyrule when skeletons act tough and try to jump you.) ]

III. Local scientist harasses red members of town (i.e. reds only for this prompt)

[ are you part of the exclusive red club (of like 33 people)? then congratulations, because during the month you're going to have a very smiley zelda knocking on your door, basket tucked into one of her arms by the elbow. it looks like something is inside? what could it be? well don't worry about that right now because-- ]

Good day! In the spirit of the quest, I am here to request from you a treat. Now if you are not prepared to provide me with something to my liking, I shall have no choice but to impose trickery on you. Please do not take it personally, as it's just in good fun, but I also won't go easy on you just because of my good heart.

[ grins! what now friend? she's pretty picky, what do you have up for the plate? as a note if you prefer to just get tricked right off the bat say so in the subject. ]

[ ooc: no non-quest prompts at the moment but that might change as the month goes on! if you want to do something with zelda outside quests though, she'll be spending a good chunk of her month between the church, tidying up and praying as usual, and outside the forest hunting for bugs and lizards for her elixirs with her bare hands. toss that up into a wildcard toplevel and we can roll with it.

alternatively if you're a yellow who wants to pumpkin carve with her, you can also toss me something that way. really im game for most anything but if you're not sure just PM me. ]

[His eyes go wide as the bomb goes off, but immediately there's a grin on his face. Ah. Blowing up enemies! How nostalgic!]

I didn't think you had bombs like that on you.

It's not me, not exactly. The Sheikah Slate has the power to summon such objects.

[ she turns the slate around so he can see. there is an icon of a bomb that looks to be overlaid with a loading circle. sadly there is a cooldown to the slate's power. ]

Normally I would not approve of such blatant displays of destruction, but the bomb does not combust. It is pure energy.

It can summon? Where is it getting it from?

[Is it... an item bag? He could accept an item bag, those things seem to store everything.]

Prinnies just explode when we throw them. That bomb seems much cleaner.

It is generated by the slate itself. The ancient technology of the original pioneers of my home is akin to magic, is it not?

[ she smiles, proud of it and saddened all at the same time. it is "ancient" for a reason, and it's an unfortunate one. ]

...Aren't prinnies the souls of those who reincarnate on your watch? You shouldn't toss them around, Valvatorez.

That's fascinating. [He's not heard of something like that before.] I haven't seen an item like it before. [Did... they lose the means to produce it? He'll ask later.]

They knew what they were signing up for. It's cheap to revive a prinny if they fall in battle... The cost does get deducted out of their pay.

The underworld truly is unforgiving to the sinners. [ she feels bad for them honestly, but maybe that's just the kindness of her good heart talking. ] Skeletons like these aren't so uncommon in my homeland. They sprout up at night, the remains of slain monsters seeking revenge. I'm used to it now really.

Netherworld.

They were the ones who sinned in life. That is what they do in order to reincarnate properly.

Really? Who's reviving them?

[ po-tay-to, po-tah-to, val. ]

A curse upon the land by an ancient evil. The monsters are born from the Malice of that evil, and even in death they resurrect by the same curse. Though they're a lot more formidable than these sad things.

[He knows what his home is called, thank you.]

I don't know who enchanted these, but they did a terrible job.

[He wants better monsters to fight. It's too bad that throwing one into the another doesn't increase their level.]

[ that just gets the lightest chuckle out of her. ]

Maybe next time we venture to the forest, we should make an effort to find stronger beasts. I would like a chance to see you battle - I imagine you'd be interesting to see in combat.

[ he did make quick work of that mutated bear they encountered. maybe a more worthy opponent would bring out his full strength? if only link were here... ]

[If Zelda wants to see bat-dragon Val, she only has to ask.]

I would enjoy that. I haven't had a proper challenge since I arrived.

You could always ask around, see if someone would challenge you in duel. I think most of the combatants in this place must get rather bored from time to time, when there isn't a major threat they can run at with their fancy swords.

[ link would definitely be among them if he were around. warriors of the wild are so very typical. ]

Would a fight count as a treat? [He definitely read the quest posts. And also he just wants a proper fight- it would be a treat to himself, if not the red who asked.]

I'm... not too sure. [ hm! a curious thought. ] In an abstract sort of way, I think it would be. Though there is no literal treat exchanged, the acceptance of a request for a duel would make you happy to be granted. In that sense, you are being treated to a battle with someone you view as worthy of your skill.

So... I would say yes! But I admit I'm biased. It'd be fun to see you in combat I think.

[ immortal beings are surely more powerful than mortal ones, and would have all sorts of tricks. ]

It would be a treat for me. I suppose a red would have to agree to treat me to a duel... We'd need a healer on hand.

[He'd rather nobody actually died. Especially because the rules of death here don't work the way they should and that's weird and upsetting.]

Yes, that is true. [ hm. ] I'm not a healer by power, but I have created formulas for healing elixirs that are fast acting. Do you think that would suffice?

[Well. If eclairs can heal people, he's sure potions should also.]

Yes, it should.

Excellent! [ she probably shouldn't be so excited to see a good duel, but it makes her nostalgic. but oh if she dwells too long, her heart will surely miss him... ] I can create a good supply fitting for a battle so long as inform me of anyone who accepts your challenge. Does that sound fair?

[He wants a good and proper fight. After everything that's happened at home, he's aware he's a fairly difficult battle, but a fight is a fight and anything would be better than the skeletons.]

Very well. It's a promise. I will tell you who accepts my invitation to a fight.
