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. ]

i...
[ in other words, sierra isn’t going to help. the skeletons are harmless, and other people are doing just fine at taking them out—even zelda is doing great with little more than an arm and her rage for a weapon.
she just sidesteps the skeleton, when it lunges toward her, and it tips over on its own before collapsing into lifelessness. rest in peace, for real this time. ]
no subject
Skeletons shouldn't be wandering into town and spreading their cursed existence across the land. I don't care if they populate the forest, but it isn't appropriate of them to come here.
[ like have some manners. ]
no subject
[ but her mood is light, despite the downer statement. she’s been alive for almost 900 years, so she’s used to a little prejudice against vampires and other undead creatures. they usually deserve it, to be fair. ]
no subject
Come now, you can't tell me you approve of the skeletons. They give people like you a bad name.
[ the good beings of a cursed existence that is to say! she's learning that the duality can exist in a good way. ]
no subject
[ the next skeleton that tries to amble by, sierra targets, but not before turning to zelda with a playful gleam in her eye. ]
Watch this.
[ seconds later, that poor skelly gets zapped with a bolt of lightning called from the heavens. ]
no subject
That was -- you just summoned lightning! [ she didn't even think anyone could do that but urbosa. incredible. ] Were you blessed by the storm gods to have such power?
no subject
[ an incredulous echo, but she does keep in mind that different realms have different cultures. there are no gods in her world but the 27 true runes, and the true lightning rune belongs to someone she doesn’t know. so she shakes her head. ]
I had a rune embedded within me. It’s one of my many powers, though this has nothing to do with my vampirism.
no subject
So the rune grants you lightning. Fascinating. [ she smiles and rubs a hand behind her neck, sheepish. ] I once had a close friend who could do the same thing. With just a snap of her fingers, lightning would summon upon any target she chose. It was a blessing she received as part of her own trials.
no subject
[ as for “trials,” the sound of it is familiar. ]
Greater magics do require a trial of sorts, though. I had to go through one myself.
no subject
[ adventures, trials, the fight of good and evil. it's all fascinating to her and more so when the stories are from a realm entirely different than her own. though of course not everyone is keen to share, so she searches for those willing.
but in her chatter she forgets about the other skellies, but thankfully one is nice enough to remind her by groaning in its accursed way as it steps closer to her. she tights her hold around the bone arm and gives it a proper and hard swing -- the arm is destroyed and the skeleton goes down with it.
good thing there are always more skeleton arms to grab. ]
Aha, this is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. How concerning.
no subject
[ luckily, before she has to get into the ugly details of her past with the moon rune, a skeleton creeps right up—and is promptly destroyed by zelda’s hidden rage for the undead. it’s almost charming, how much she hates them, and how much that hate comes through in every swing. ]
Your technique is not very ladylike, but… I think I understand the appeal.
no subject
[ and she extends out a skeleton arm she grabs off the ground, offering it to sierra by the hand. its fingers are still moving around a little! cute. ]
no subject
You’ve got it under control, I think. I’d hate to take away your fun.
[ could it be she’s… grossed out? ]
no subject
[ just shakes the arm at her!! come on sierra, do it, touch the skellie arm. ]
no subject
[ she takes a step back, shying away from the skeleton arm. there are some things she can handle, and she’s even fine with them when they’re fully present, but there’s something creepy about the twitchy, disembodied arm. ]
no subject
Well, ok then. I suppose if that's how you feel. [ and she retracts the arm, letting it hit against the palm of her free hand like she's prepping a bat for slamming action. ] I got to admit I'm surprised? Maybe you're the one with something against the unholy abomination.
[ this isn't weird? she's not the weird one here. ]
no subject
I don’t mind them when they’re walking around. They’re like pests, but at least they’re pests I’m familiar with. The arm alone is… grotesque.
[ like a zombie arm getting knocked off in a fight and still retaining muscle memory. it’s yucky!!! ]
no subject
[ she nods in understanding, patient and calm. then smiles- ]
You're afraid of them! [ mean. ]
no subject
[ except she totally is. look at her… the fussy attitude is just hiding the fact that it’s creepy. ]
no subject
There's nothing to worry about, Sierra. They're just walking remains cursed by a dark evil to reanimate back to life.
[ and then she pushes the arm bone toward her again. ]
Come on, see. Nothing to be afraid of!
no subject
I’ll turn you into walking remains if you don’t shut your trap.
[ just to spare herself the further humiliation, she grabs the skeletal arm and crushes it, finally allowing the hand to fall off. it frees sierra, at least, from zelda’s terrorizing!!!
underneath it all, however, she’s having fun. if she were truly angry, she’d vaporize zelda instead. ]
no subject
[ the arm is snatched without any attempt to keep it on zelda's part, too busy laughing and trying to stop laughing because sierra might really make good on her word if she keeps this up! but it's so funny to see her uncharacteristically flustered like this! ]
S - Sorry. Sorry, I'll stop now. [ except she's still going, but it's more like a dying chuckle that keeps trying to burst out into full laughter again. ] You - You just seem so unafraid of everything, I wasn't expecting this!
[ it reminds her very much of daruk: a brave warrior, one of the largest and strongest in all the land... who has a deep fear of dogs! the thought alone bubbles up her laughter for the wrong reasons. ]
no subject
Enjoy your laughter. [ sierra is already formulating a plan to get back at zelda like she’s some kind of child, and she knows it’s juvenile, but she hates to be laughed at. her pride is her weakness. ] But I’m not afraid.
no subject
Ok, ok. [ she believes her, but mostly she wants to placate her. ] Well if you don't want it, then it's more for me I suppose. Now come on. I want to smash some more.
