[Lucetians today may notice a little girl in a green tunic and matching pointy, floppy hat wielding a pink feather duster and a large pot lid doing one of two things

Comments

[action] always break the pots. always.

[hiken_ace]

[Oh hey, why is that girl ramming herself into trees?]

A-ah, miss. You're going to get hurt if you do that.

[action] break ALL the pots!

[lightningcute]

Oh, n-no, it's fine! I'm just checking for rupees and items, that's all.

[WHUMP! Ow, this really does hurt...but she can't seem to stop herself from doing it...]

[action] best get-rich-quick sceme ever

[hiken_ace]

Items? Think you can just get those at a store. Dunno what "rupees" are, though.

[dsglhsldg pulling her away from the tree now.]

[action]

[lightningcute]

Well, it's easier to just find hearts instead of buying them at the store. [...wait. Items are free in Luceti stores.] And rupees are the things you use to pay for -- [there isn't any currency in Luceti either, flgkjlfkjdalkjwhaaargarbl

She'll let Ace pull her away from trying to roll into a tree, but it takes visible effort for her to not push him away.]

[thestormishere]

[ What is that girl doing-- why are you doing that, random girl?! There's a bang as Lightning throws open one of the windows on her house, looking very annoyed at this green-clad individual apparently terrorizing her lawn, its trees, and the carefully-planted greenery. ]

Hey! Hey!

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin flinches at both the sound of the windows being thrown open and Lightning yelling at her. She quickly recovers and puts a smile on her face.]

Oh, hi! I'm just checking for rupees and items, that's all. [Except please do, stop her 'cause she can't stop herself, sob]

[thestormishere]

There isn't any of that here!

[ -- As far as she knows, anyway! Ugh, experiments... the woman grits her teeth, then disappears from the window to go and confront the trespasser in person. Stick around or run, Pao-lin? ]

[lightningcute]

[Oh snapdragons in a stir-fry, now she's really gone and pissed someone off. This is probably going to lead to a non-standard game over for her. Pao-lin turns and runs, and she's almost cleared the yard --

-- until she passes by a few bushes that she hasn't checked yet. She tries to just turn her back on them, but there's something in her head telling her, no, you really should check them, they might have arrow refills or hearts or rupees...

(but what would you need any of those in Luceti for?)

(especially rupees, there isn't any money in Luceti)

(but isn't this Hyrule?)

Pao-lin's just going to stand there for a few miserable moments, her gaze darting back and forth between the bushes and the road leading out into the rest of the village.]

[floralprophecy]

... [you did not just break his gardening pots! The Queen Labrador is not amused.]

What do you think you're doing??

[lightningcute]

What else? Just looking for some rupees. [She says this as though it should be really damn obvious, but she's looking somewhat bewildered as she says so.]

[floralprophecy]

[looks down at with contempt] There aren't any of rupees here.

[lightningcute]

But there's usually rupees in these kinds of -- [No, wait, there's no currency in Luceti. Crud. Still, she gives the remaining pots a narrowed glance.] I mean, how do you know if you haven't checked -- [She shakes her head. They're his pots, he should know what's in them! Grrrr, what is wrong with her today? Oh, right, experiment. Not that that helps this situation any.]

[talontrot]

[Hey, Thunderbird Kazooie was trying to sleep in that there tree, because she is a god of the forest and as such has no business being in an apartment building. Pao-lin, y u do dis?

... Oh, right, because you're Link.

Kazooie sighs irritably as Pao-lin strikes the tree under her again, but she puts on her best Benevolent God voice - which is still pretty sarcastic.]

You should probably stop doing that before you break either the tree or your face. There are easier ways to get the attention of the gods. I mean, you could try an offering or something...

[lightningcute]

[Eep! Pao-lin's startled onto her rump by a sarcastically godly voice. She looks up at her, frowning.]

Oh...you're Kaepora Gaebora, right?

[wait what NO, that's Kazooie. What the frell, self?!]

[talontrot]

[... What. Who the heck even...?

Pao-lin, you are getting such a lineface.]

... Unless that means "Thunderbird" in whatever crazy talk you have, nope.

Did you maybe hit your head on that tree too hard?

[lightningcute]

I didn't hit my head on the tree! [Too much. It took a bit before she got the hang of judging the distance and timing of her rolls so that she was actually landing with her feet against the target. But that's a moot point by now.] What are you doing up there anyway, Kazooie? [Then she frowns. Kazooie's a bird -- why wouldn't she be in trees?]
