[In the First District of Traverse Town, a large and shining blue crystal drifts down from out of the sky. It's semi-transparent, and inside it, there's a young man in green.

It's kind of hard to miss.

The crystal descends in front of the large wooden door leading out of Traverse Town, hovers above the ground for a moment, and fades. The young man falls to the ground, but slowly, and he lands on his feet. He looks around, eyes wide.

He doesn't know where he is, but he knows what just happened. Hyrule is gone. He couldn't save it, and now it's gone. The Sages sent him away, but away to... where? This place... It doesn't look like any town he's seen before. This can't be Hyrule, so it's... another land?

The first thing he needs to do is find people. He needs to find out where he is, and maybe if anyone knows Hyrule. If so, then... Then, he needs to spread the news. Hyrule has fallen to Ganondorf and his strange black monsters.

... and then he needs to buy a red potion, because ow. He's definitely not looking too good. He barely has five hearts left.

He turns his head to ask Navi what she thinks he should do, and goes still. She isn't there. Link takes off his hat and looks inside to see if she's just resting, but... His hat is empty, too.

Navi's gone, too? But... She was right there... She... She didn't get left behind, did she?]

[ Is in Traverse Town. He did manage to find the hotel from the food place Rapunzel told him about. He is exiting the cafe when he notices the crystal. He gapes at it.]

This place just gets weirder and weirder.

[ He then notices the person inside, and that the person appears to be hurt.]

Hey! You're not looking so good!

[ He rushes to Link's side. He seems like he needs a shoulder to lean on.]

Um...I could try to find some help, but I'm kinda new here too.

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[... /swt]

I'm okay. [He's not, but he'll be fine for now. There are more important things to take care of right now.]

... too?

[This person has round ears, but he doesn't look like a Gerudo. What...?]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ He's looking doubtful at the guy being okay. He's not gonna argue, if the guy wants to be stubborn. At least, not yet. He's still concerned.]

Yeah, you're not on your world anymore or that's what I heard from someone else here. I don't really understand it myself. There are these rabbit like things that are supposed to give you stuff for surviving here and explain everything.

[ He's not sure if he could tell the guy about the darkness stuff. That's hard enough to deal with when you aren't injured. He looks around for a moogle.]

We need to find one of those rabbit things. They might know a place to patch you up. I hope they don't float away. Sorry, if I'm not making any sense.

[ He notices Link's injuries and disorientation before noticing the pointy ears.]

This place is weird, but some of the people seem nice.

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

I know. [He knows what happened to Hyrule. He was there.

He nods to the rest of what the man is saying, though he can't help himself from asking...] Floating... rabbits?

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

I think they're called moogles or something like that. They're white and fluffy like rabbits and have floating red round things over their heads.

[ He's surprised that the guy understood any of what he said.]

I thought the rounds things were fruit when I first got here.

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Oh... kay. So... Moogles, white and fluffy, red... things on their heads.

Link starts looking around, too, trying to see if he notices one nearby.]

[filchedfruit.livejournal.com]

[ Has seen them before, so is looking. Eventually sees one.]

Hey, this guy needs help!

[ It seems reluctant for some reason.]

I swear I won't touch the red thing. I'm sorry about that. I know better now, and I'm pretty sure this guy won't try anything. Isn't it your job to aid newcomers?

[ This somehow convinces the moogle.]

I kinda got off to a bad start with the moogles.

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

[Hey you look lost.]

I'm guessing you just got here?

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Well, he did just fall out of the sky...

Link nods.]

[Video]

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

Well... you're probably in Traverse Town. I'd come and kind of help you out, but I'm not in Traverse Town right now.

[video] going to assume a bit of a timeskip here so Link's gotten his device

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Link looks curiously at the little item that the white animal gave him. They told him that people would talk to him with it and visa versa, but to be looking at and talking to someone without seeing them face-to-face is... odd. It reminds him of when he would talk to Saria thanks to the ocarina. He feels a pang of homesickness.]

What town are you in?

[video] alright

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

I'm on Destiny Island right now. That creature you just saw a while ago is a moogle.

[video]

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Destiny Island. Moogle. Link nods.]

... Your home was destroyed, too?

[This girl has round ears, too.]

[dreamsofouthere.livejournal.com]

[lucky 'punzel is wandering around the first district, out of sheer boredom and a desire to see something other than her hotel room. she's not quite over the whole "I CAN LEAVE THIS ROOM WHENEVER I WANT, YAAAY" spazzy portion yet]

[so have a cheerful blonde approach you with a happy smile, m'kay?]

Oh, hello! [she knows she hasn't seen you before, but she's not sure if you're new here or not, too many people to keep track of, really]

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[dreamsofouthere.livejournal.com]

[she coughs politely into her hand and stares at you for a moment, unsure if you're okay or if you always look like...that]

Do...you need help with anything?

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Well...]

Have you seen a blue fairy?

[dreamsofouthere.livejournal.com]

[hrm. she has seen a lot of things, recently, and racks her brains for anything small and blue]

No, I'm afraid I haven't. Does...it have a name or anything? In case I find it, I'll help get it back to you [never mind that she doesn't know your name, she's thinking ahead. obv.]

Is there anything else I can do for you, I mean you look a little [pause, chooses her words carefully, in case he really DOES look like that all the time, and how unfortunate would that be] weary.

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

Her name is Navi. She's pretty loud, and she talks a lot.

Oh. [Right.] Is there somewhere I can rest?

[Link stops short when he sees the pretty girl on the giant horse. He opens his mouth and closes it and just kind of stares blankly as the girl runs up to him.

Dat horse. Dat horse.]

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[She just... Was that magic? He hasn't met a person who can do magic like that, except for the Great Fairies... But she doesn't look anything like a Great Fairy. Maybe she's a different kind of fairy that he hasn't met yet?

O-Oh. He hadn't realized he was still staring at the horse. aldksjfdl] It's okay...

[heroborn.livejournal.com]

[Big horse. Biiiiiig horse. Much bigger than Epona.

... but still likes to be scratched behind the ears, just like Epona.

Link reaches up and gently scratches, unaware that his expression has turned forlorn and distant.]
