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. ]

[ and so the skull soars off, into the sky, breaking the atmosphere. shine on you crazy--

--no, wait, it's falling down and crashing just a little ways off. oh well! ]

But it was a fun experience, no? [ grins! ] I feel like we don't get to enjoy ourselves enough sometimes. You need to find the good in the bad.

[... You know, Zelda looks very cute and sweet, and she's got a very calming air to her on her network responses, and yet...

Right now, he feels as though she might have a tad bit pent up aggression in her too.

... Just a tad.]

... You're not wrong, but...

[...wELL, ANYWAY.]

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, because I think this is probably going to last awhile.

[Skeletons all month... speaking of, here's some more skeletons shambling their way.]

[ thank you for the kind underestimation minato. ]

Unfortunately so. I'm suspecting the quest may be beckoning their presence to the town. The timings feels too coincidental for me to think it's just a friendly warning from the very elusive Mr. F.

[ she shrugs, not liking to sour the mood but she can only ever speak frankly. ]

Still, they're easily defeated. It's a silver lining.

Yeah, it definitely feels like these quest monsters show up specifically for the quests, huh...? [It's kind of meta.

Anyway, yeah... he doesn't have his sword on him, so despite his misgivings, he has to pick up a bone arm to face the oncoming skeletons.]

I'm glad they're not actually that dangerous, though. There are too many people in the town who can't defend themselves. I used to think none of the monsters would come in here, but...

[Well, there was the Bogeyman, but that was a special case. He doesn't like this trend.]

Right, exactly. This is the first time they've truly come in.

[ like minato her thoughts go to the bogeyman too, but it was more led into town really. even when her and greed fought it back in the forest back then, it retreated as soon as they began to get back toward town. so even if the skeletons are weak-- ]

It feels like a warning of what may come. I hope that's wrong, but we should be vigilant regardless.

[...Yeah...]

You're right. I'll definitely keep an eye out for everything as best I can.

[But now that they are temporarily skele-free, Minato glances at the arm bone and then...offers it back to Zelda? Um.]

Did you want this back?

Hm. [ she shrugs. ] Only if you don't want it!

[ there are plenty of bones to go around! literally, they're all across town, the roads covered in bones, so many. they won't even disappear at the end of the month, not that this is known to either of them now. yay bones!! friendship is great. ]

[Yay bones!! Next month they're going to have to have a bone burying party.]

Yeah, I'm sure. Usually I have a sword, I just...didn't bring it with me.

[... He feels a little sheepish admitting that, even though weaponry is not usually needed in the town--it kind of feels like admitting that he forgot an umbrella when the forecast said rain, except 10x deadlier.]

I guess I'll have to start carrying that around again.

[ she clicks her tongue at that. ]

All good warriors must have their weapon at their side all times. Never know when disaster can strike. [ even the minor ones, like this. ] Not a bad idea to carry it around with that in mind. We have to be on our toes.

[... He's not really much of a warrior, but...

He can at least recognize that that's just an excuse.]

You're right about that. Sorry--I'll make sure to have it on me from now on.

[As best he can, anyway.]

I guess it'd be really irresponsible not to, since there are people here who need to be protected.

[ anyone who holds sword, or weapon, is a warrior to her. it takes bravery to do so. ]

Most certainly. If you slip up your attention at any second - [ pfft - the skeletons might just grab you by the hair! Ahaha!

[................ god.]

That sounds kind of creepy and gross. Don't you think?

Skeleton fingers all tangled up in your hair...

[and, with a straight face...]

It'd be... not very humerus.

It would most certainly not.

[ and then she frowns. ]

It would be a most sternum situation.

[Oh, she's good at this, delivering that pun without changing that stern expression.

A solemn nod of his own.]

Don't worry... so long as we're not numbskulls, I think we'll be okay. They're not very fast.

[ ok, that one gets a small smile out that she can't quite restrain back. puns are really her weakness. ]

We'll be fine.

[ she has no pun to combat him back with. he wins this round! ]
