...why do you look like me?

-@younglinkoftermina (//Saw the opportunity to do something REALLY funny.)

. . .

*sigh*

That's my question. Who are you and why do you look like me?

Navi, and I don't know? I was hoping you did. What's your name, though?

. . . "Navi"? Thats a bad name, why is that your name?

Mask, you can call me Mask *crosses his arms with a stressed sigh* And I suppose that perhaps we are the same person in different time periods, I suppose you are already used to this nonsense of time loops and paradoxes.

It just is? It's not that bad.

That'd make sense, and I am, as much as I dislike it... What's happening for you, then? I'm trying to save Termina.

I think it is. How do you expect to find Navi if you have the same name? *He question while crossing his arms* Although my name isn't exactly better either.

Oh, I am, maybe, one or two years after you. *explains calmly* I've already left the lands of Termina and now I'm... in another time-travel mess. Although I don't know if I should give you too many details, my brother would get angry if I talked too much when I wasn't asked.

I'm not looking for a "Navi", though.

Another? Is it the whole "people from other time periods" meeting thing? I know Red's not from here.

Your brother sounds mean.

. . . You're not? Why? *He asks, noticeably puzzled* Do you even knew Navi?

Yeah, yeah, it is. Some wicked witch or something, I never wanted to know much about it. *growled in annoyance* It's a war, but hopefully you won't end up there.

*He raises an eyebrow and then quickly shakes his head* No, he's the best person in the world. He just wants to save me from trouble, you know, with all this nonlinear timeline stuff.

Aside from me, no.

(Hm... she wondered if this was a thing Clock knew. Not that she could talk to him...)

How long has the war been on for? I think we're talking about two different things, though. Red's not part of war.

...right.

Wh-... Then how did you end up in Termina? *He takes a moment to process, bringing his hand to his chin* Is your name even Link?

I've been here for about a year and four months or something like that, although Captain says the war will continue for a while longer.

Who's "Red" btw?

...yes? Why wouldn't it be? And the Lost Woods.

I hope that it ends soon.

A friend of mine. He and I were in Termina together for a bit, actually.

(...not exactly a "bit", but you didn't need to know that.)

Mhm... I thought maybe we wouldn't be the same, but we definitely are. *thinks for a few seconds* And why were you in the Lost Woods without a fairy?

Although it's a selfish wish on my part... *He remains silent for a few seconds before laughing nervously* I really don't want the war to end.

Oh! I unferstand, is he a hero too?

Because I just was. I'm ok, though. But what do you mean by "wouldn't be the same"?

Is it because you don't want to leave your brother?

Mhm. He's nice.

Well, like I said. *He just looks at you, confused, but then decides not to ask any more questions.* I mean, I thought maybe we weren't the same hero with a time difference and were completely different, but it's pretty clear that that theory is wrong.

*He remains silent for a moment after hearing you, then presses his lips together and after a few seconds sighs, letting out a chuckle* Well, we're definitely the same person... *whispers before seeing you* Yes, that's exactly why.

I can imagine that. *he nods* Which temple have you finished?

Why is that clear?

Oh. I also hope you don't have to leave him.

I think I last did Snowhead? I'm not sure. I've been more worried about Red than the moon, lately.

Because Termina isn't a place you can arrive at every day. *He explains* Besides, I've met several heroes, and definitely no one looks exactly like me.

*He smiles and nods* Me too

Why? Did something happened to him?

That makes more sense.

...I guess you could say that.

Mhm... Wanna talk about it?

I guess if you don't mind?

I don't mind at all. I have all the time in the world.

Go on, i'll be here.

If you say so.

[She explained some of what had happened in Termina. Not much, just that she'd had to witness Red die quite a few times, but enough that you understood the gist of things.]

*He simply crosses his arms while listening to you, with a grimace of both annoyance and confusion*

I understand, I'm sorry you went through that. Are you okay?

I think so? It's confusing. I'm really just glad that Red's ok now.

Why would it be confusing? *asks curiously* It's good that you're worried about Red, but you should also worry about yourself, you know?

I haven't really... felt much, since then. It's just hard to tell if I'm ok or not when I can't feel, you know? I do intend on worrying about myself, though, don't worry.

Like... Seriously...? Nothing at all? *he asked, a little worried*

Do you mean physically or mentally?

Mentally. Why? And no, nothing at all. Is that bad?

Dude, you're definitely not okay then... I mean, it's-... Uh... How should I tell ya...

Let's just say it's not healthy for you to deprive yourself of your emotions; that's what makes you human, after all... Did it start after the Red incident?

I think it did sometime during it, yes.

I don't see why it isn't healthy though. This is just the norm at this point.

*He sighs wearily, thinking for a moment before speaking*

Look, assuming your insensitivity was physical. Do you think, in such a hypothetical case, it would be good or bad that you couldn't feel anything?

Bad. Why?

Well, why do you think that would be bad?

Because it'd mess with how you interact with things and put you in danger. Physical sensations are different from emotions, though...

You're right about the first part, but wrong about the second. *he said calmly* Indeed, you're going to have problems in your life, and even worse, you could put yourself or someone else at risk.

Now... what is it that differentiates you from a monster? *He asks calmly, taking a bottle of milk from his saddlebag and taking a sip* If I pointed my bow at you and demanded proof that you were a Hylian and not a shape-shifting monster, how would you prove it?

My items, or maybe my reaction would work as proof?

But Stalfos usually use swords and shields too, right? And yet, they're monsters, so that shouldn't be the difference.

What makes you different from the monsters?

...why do you look like me?

*He sighs wearily, thinking for a moment before speaking*

Look, assuming your insensitivity was physical. Do you think, in such a hypothetical case, it would be good or bad that you couldn't feel anything?

*He’s wandering. He doesn’t know where he is, or where Crimson is, or where Zelda is. He wants to go back to Skyloft. He doesn’t like being down here. The cloud are too high, and all he can see is ground..!

*He doesn’t know where he is, or where he’s going, or why he’s going anywhere. But he is. At least it isn’t as cold here..

@knight-in-training-sky (age 5)

*He was walking along, searching for butterflies with a deku stick in his hand, when he saw you, raising an eyebrow with equal parts confusion and curiosity before approaching, still holding the stick*

Hey little one, what are you doing here? *he asked calmly once he was close enough to you. He could have sworn he knew you from somewhere, but he couldn't remember where*

knight-in-training-sky

*He jumps, startled by the words. He blinks at the other — a kid like him.

I- I’m- I d-don’t know..

*His voice is soft, small.

I j-just showed up here…

*He raises an eyebrow, confused, but nods*

Well... My name is Mask, do you know your name? *he asked curiously, looking around for any monster or person, anything would explain your appearance*

Are you hurt? There shouldn't be monsters here, but I'm asking anyway.

knight-in-training-sky

I… u-uh… Link, but people are calling me Birdie.. I kinda- kinda like that..More than Link..

*His eyes widen.

M-monsters..?! There are monsters down here..?

*It seems that news only scares him more. There’s no blood on his clothes, no rips or holes.

#lu rp #mask link #knight in training sky

*He remains silent for a moment after hearing your name, then sighs and nods, with a small smile as he realizes why you seemed familiar to him*

So Birdie, it's a pleasure to meet you. *He said calmly, carefully observing your body for any abnormality but without appearing obvious and causing you to distrust him.*

Oh, no! Like I said, there shouldn't be any monsters. I took care of them a while ago. *He indicated with a nervous smile* It's a safe place, okay? You don't have to worry about it.

*He searches in his saddlebag, taking out some raspberries and offering them to you* Well, Birdie, do you have anyone I can ask to let them know you're with me?

*A boy with bright blue eyes and spiky brown hair whistles to himself as he walks, spinning a large key in one hand. It’s the side of a weapon, though the hand guard alone seems… Unhelpful, from how it covers both sides of the hand.

*He glances in your direction, giving a grin and a wave.

Hey! I haven’t met you before. I’m Sora!

- @keyblade-wielder-sora

*He observes you curiously, raising an eyebrow and returning your greeting with an slow wave*

Well, I can say the same... *He says this while observing your body, noticeably looking to your key*

It's nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Mask. *He reports by placing his hand on his chest, as a small formal greeting* May I ask where did you come from? You don't seem to be Hylian.

*His clothing is- unusual, for the Hylian style. A lot of scars litter his arms and legs. He’s thin, not in an overly-concerning way, but in a way that he doesn’t quite fill out the clothes obviously made just for him. It’s hard to see any muscle under the layers. l

Oh, I’m not!

*Despite all this, he keeps a grin on his face.

I’m from a small group of islands you’ve never heard of, hehe. It’s nice to meet you too, Mask! You look a lot like someone else I know.

*He continues to watch you curiously as you speak, even squinting slightly* Well, it's surprising you're so sure of other people's knowledge.

*He shrugged, crossing his arms afterward.* Though I don't doubt the truth of your words, I assume you're informing me about it 'cuz that group of islands can't be reached on my timeline and therefore doesn't concern me, am I correct?

*He lets out a small grunt, clearly displeased with the mess that's being created in time, but at the same time, powerless to do anything to prevent it.*

Oh really? *He question once he's notified of the similar look* Can I ask who I look like to You?

Oh, no, it’s so far away it’d practically take a ship to get there.

*He snickers, a joke you’re not meant to understand in there.

Nah, nobody from any version of Hyrule would be able to get there on their own. Would take me or somebody else I know to do it.

Well, they look just like you physically, but your hearts are surprisingly both the same and different! Uh, go by Clock or Navi, not entirely sure how it works? But yeah!

*He hears your laughter and raises an eyebrow in confusion, but decides not to say anything about it, instead, he's focused on your words*

I understand *he said simply, unsure whether he should ask more about it or not, so he decided not to*

Ah, there are several heroes here, so you might know someone I don't. *He said calmly, but upon hearing the names, he tensed and quickly turned to look at you.* "Navi"? The Hylian you know is called Navi?

*Sora catches the tensing immediately, but nods.

Yeah. Navi or Clock. I’m not, uh, entirely sure on that. Navi said Clock was a different person? But it was the same heart, and only one heart in the body..

Is that a problem?

*He hopes he didn’t upset Mask already. He hates upsetting people!

Mhm, I see... *whispers with a grimace of disgust while crossing his arms, keeping his gaze lowered as he thinks* I suppose they will be some other version of me.

*He looks at you and then shakes his head, smiling slightly* Don't worry, it's nothing. I've been searching for a fairy named Navi for years, so the name caught me off guard.

*He keeps his arms crossed, then sighs and after looking up at the sky, turns his gaze back to you*

And... how did you get into this temporary mess?

I did say they look just like you.

Oh, yeah, that’d make sense… Like how I met Rikku while looking for Riku! That was strange, hehe.

Me? I found a kid named Jun, who was incredibly lost, so I helped him get back here and decided to stick around! It’s a lot bigger than other worlds— places, I mean, but that I’ve been to! Lots more people, too.

Yes, but it may or may not be another version of me. *he explained* It may just look like me, or it may be me but with a variation in age and time... Although I know if it's a little difficult to understand.

*He nods, agreeing with you even though he doesn't know who either of those two people is, but he wasn't going to ask*

Jun..? Mhm... I don't know who is he but i'm glad you helped him. *He crosses his arms, watching you, and then smiles smugly* I know, you can spend a long time walking around and you won't get bored.

*Then he falls silent and looks at you, confused.* Did you say worlds? You can travel between worlds?

I think maybe I get it? It’s like Rox and Ven, how they look nearly identical and people confuse them but they’re not each other? I dunno how close that is, heh!

*He grins at Mask’s smug smile, hooking his hands behind his head.

Yup! Goofy says I’m just like a kid allowed to explore! Go a little everywhere, do a little everything..

Uh- no. I said places.

*Sora is…Not good, at lying under pressure like this, that’s clear.

*He shoves a black cloth down into the pouch against his leg more, as if hiding it.

I don't really know who "Rox" or "Ven" are, but I think you've got it. *he indicated calmly*

That's fine, you won't always have the freedom to explore as much as you want. *He shrugged.* That "Goofy" guy is very wise, listen to him.

*He watches you with interest, judging your comment and your actions. He doesn't take his eyes off you, as if analyzing you.*

You are someone who is not Hylian; you arrived here by chance while you are helping someone else get here. *He reviews you in a calm tone, squinting as he judges you* How did you get here? Because you did help someone get here, and you needed to be able to do so before they asked for help...

. . . Who are you?

Uh- sorry! Theyre, no, just forget I even mentioned ‘em, heheh..

Yeah. Donald an’ Goofy are pretty smart! Even if Donald isn’t very nice sometimes..

*He tilts his head at the calm analyzing. He blinks at the questions.

Uh-… I’m Sora. Keyblade Wielder. I help everyone? It’s my whole job!

*He grins brightly, tilting his head.

*He crosses his arms and sighs, raising an eyebrow, judging*

Well, I'm Link. Hero of Time. I also help others and make sure time doesn't go to hell again with paradoxes and time travel so... Your work also influences my work.

*He sighs again and watches you*

Could you please tell me how you got here? And no, I'm not talking about who you helped; I've already heard that part. I want you to tell me how you left your world and entered this one.

Hey, it’s not my work. It’s Xehanort’s, and I already defeated him.

My time traveling was just- I was helping my friends. And how’d you even know I time traveled? It wasn’t more than a few minutes.

My work is to defeat the Heartless that steal people’s hearts. And the Nobodies, too.

I’m not- supposed to share that information unless you already know it. But I guess you do already know about other worlds…

I dunno, Donald would get mad if I wasn’t meant to tell you…

*He rubs the back of his neck, feeling awkward.

*He sighs, running his hand over his face in stress* Okay, yes, my bad, let's forget that part.

*He raises an eyebrow when you ask, then shrugs* I told you, I'm the Hero of Time, I'm familiar with time travel. From then on, I only assumed; I didn't know for sure if I was right, but it seems I was.

*He nods once you explain, letting out a small sigh.* You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way about the existence of other worlds, so... That's the reason for my curiosity.

*He crosses his arms calmly.* I don't want you to get scolded, so if you can't give certain information, I'll understand. The Captain would be angry to me if I forced you to answer or anything like that.

…Learned the hard way? What’s that mean? I mean- I kinda did too, thrown into it as I was..

Thanks. Hey, if you know about other worlds, how do you travel between them? You don’t even have a Keyblade..

Well, that's exactly it, without warning and... Well, I think the point is pretty clear. *He decides to say, not wanting to stay in that topic*

*He grimaces when he hears you, though he's grateful that he now knows the name of the key you're carrying. He sighs and takes out a blue ocarina, with a small symbol of three golden triangles* I said I can travel through time, not between worlds. I mean... I've traveled between worlds, but it's not something I choose, unlike time travel, which I do have control over thanks to this instrument.

*He puts a hand to the back of his neck with some discomfort* Although it usually varies, sometimes the goddesses simply decide that it's a good idea for you to change worlds, that's what happened the last two times. Simply... The goddesses willed it so and distorted my world to enter someone else's.

*He sighs* I wish they would stop doing that tho.

...why do you look like me?

-@younglinkoftermina (//Saw the opportunity to do something REALLY funny.)

. . .

*sigh*

That's my question. Who are you and why do you look like me?

Navi, and I don't know? I was hoping you did. What's your name, though?

. . . "Navi"? Thats a bad name, why is that your name?

Mask, you can call me Mask *crosses his arms with a stressed sigh* And I suppose that perhaps we are the same person in different time periods, I suppose you are already used to this nonsense of time loops and paradoxes.

It just is? It's not that bad.

That'd make sense, and I am, as much as I dislike it... What's happening for you, then? I'm trying to save Termina.

I think it is. How do you expect to find Navi if you have the same name? *He question while crossing his arms* Although my name isn't exactly better either.

Oh, I am, maybe, one or two years after you. *explains calmly* I've already left the lands of Termina and now I'm... in another time-travel mess. Although I don't know if I should give you too many details, my brother would get angry if I talked too much when I wasn't asked.

I'm not looking for a "Navi", though.

Another? Is it the whole "people from other time periods" meeting thing? I know Red's not from here.

Your brother sounds mean.

. . . You're not? Why? *He asks, noticeably puzzled* Do you even knew Navi?

Yeah, yeah, it is. Some wicked witch or something, I never wanted to know much about it. *growled in annoyance* It's a war, but hopefully you won't end up there.

*He raises an eyebrow and then quickly shakes his head* No, he's the best person in the world. He just wants to save me from trouble, you know, with all this nonlinear timeline stuff.

Aside from me, no.

(Hm... she wondered if this was a thing Clock knew. Not that she could talk to him...)

How long has the war been on for? I think we're talking about two different things, though. Red's not part of war.

...right.

Wh-... Then how did you end up in Termina? *He takes a moment to process, bringing his hand to his chin* Is your name even Link?

I've been here for about a year and four months or something like that, although Captain says the war will continue for a while longer.

Who's "Red" btw?

...yes? Why wouldn't it be? And the Lost Woods.

I hope that it ends soon.

A friend of mine. He and I were in Termina together for a bit, actually.

(...not exactly a "bit", but you didn't need to know that.)

Mhm... I thought maybe we wouldn't be the same, but we definitely are. *thinks for a few seconds* And why were you in the Lost Woods without a fairy?

Although it's a selfish wish on my part... *He remains silent for a few seconds before laughing nervously* I really don't want the war to end.

Oh! I unferstand, is he a hero too?

Because I just was. I'm ok, though. But what do you mean by "wouldn't be the same"?

Is it because you don't want to leave your brother?

Mhm. He's nice.

Well, like I said. *He just looks at you, confused, but then decides not to ask any more questions.* I mean, I thought maybe we weren't the same hero with a time difference and were completely different, but it's pretty clear that that theory is wrong.

*He remains silent for a moment after hearing you, then presses his lips together and after a few seconds sighs, letting out a chuckle* Well, we're definitely the same person... *whispers before seeing you* Yes, that's exactly why.

I can imagine that. *he nods* Which temple have you finished?

Why is that clear?

Oh. I also hope you don't have to leave him.

I think I last did Snowhead? I'm not sure. I've been more worried about Red than the moon, lately.

Because Termina isn't a place you can arrive at every day. *He explains* Besides, I've met several heroes, and definitely no one looks exactly like me.

*He smiles and nods* Me too

Why? Did something happened to him?

That makes more sense.

...I guess you could say that.

Mhm... Wanna talk about it?

I guess if you don't mind?

I don't mind at all. I have all the time in the world.

Go on, i'll be here.

If you say so.

[She explained some of what had happened in Termina. Not much, just that she'd had to witness Red die quite a few times, but enough that you understood the gist of things.]

*He simply crosses his arms while listening to you, with a grimace of both annoyance and confusion*

I understand, I'm sorry you went through that. Are you okay?

I think so? It's confusing. I'm really just glad that Red's ok now.

Why would it be confusing? *asks curiously* It's good that you're worried about Red, but you should also worry about yourself, you know?

I haven't really... felt much, since then. It's just hard to tell if I'm ok or not when I can't feel, you know? I do intend on worrying about myself, though, don't worry.

Like... Seriously...? Nothing at all? *he asked, a little worried*

Do you mean physically or mentally?

Mentally. Why? And no, nothing at all. Is that bad?

#OOC: ofc not #mask link #lu rp

Dude, you're definitely not okay then... I mean, it's-... Uh... How should I tell ya...

Let's just say it's not healthy for you to deprive yourself of your emotions; that's what makes you human, after all... Did it start after the Red incident?

*A boy with bright blue eyes and spiky brown hair whistles to himself as he walks, spinning a large key in one hand. It’s the side of a weapon, though the hand guard alone seems… Unhelpful, from how it covers both sides of the hand.

*He glances in your direction, giving a grin and a wave.

Hey! I haven’t met you before. I’m Sora!

- @keyblade-wielder-sora

*He observes you curiously, raising an eyebrow and returning your greeting with an slow wave*

Well, I can say the same... *He says this while observing your body, noticeably looking to your key*

It's nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Mask. *He reports by placing his hand on his chest, as a small formal greeting* May I ask where did you come from? You don't seem to be Hylian.

*His clothing is- unusual, for the Hylian style. A lot of scars litter his arms and legs. He’s thin, not in an overly-concerning way, but in a way that he doesn’t quite fill out the clothes obviously made just for him. It’s hard to see any muscle under the layers. l

Oh, I’m not!

*Despite all this, he keeps a grin on his face.

I’m from a small group of islands you’ve never heard of, hehe. It’s nice to meet you too, Mask! You look a lot like someone else I know.

*He continues to watch you curiously as you speak, even squinting slightly* Well, it's surprising you're so sure of other people's knowledge.

*He shrugged, crossing his arms afterward.* Though I don't doubt the truth of your words, I assume you're informing me about it 'cuz that group of islands can't be reached on my timeline and therefore doesn't concern me, am I correct?

*He lets out a small grunt, clearly displeased with the mess that's being created in time, but at the same time, powerless to do anything to prevent it.*

Oh really? *He question once he's notified of the similar look* Can I ask who I look like to You?

Oh, no, it’s so far away it’d practically take a ship to get there.

*He snickers, a joke you’re not meant to understand in there.

Nah, nobody from any version of Hyrule would be able to get there on their own. Would take me or somebody else I know to do it.

Well, they look just like you physically, but your hearts are surprisingly both the same and different! Uh, go by Clock or Navi, not entirely sure how it works? But yeah!

*He hears your laughter and raises an eyebrow in confusion, but decides not to say anything about it, instead, he's focused on your words*

I understand *he said simply, unsure whether he should ask more about it or not, so he decided not to*

Ah, there are several heroes here, so you might know someone I don't. *He said calmly, but upon hearing the names, he tensed and quickly turned to look at you.* "Navi"? The Hylian you know is called Navi?

*Sora catches the tensing immediately, but nods.

Yeah. Navi or Clock. I’m not, uh, entirely sure on that. Navi said Clock was a different person? But it was the same heart, and only one heart in the body..

Is that a problem?

*He hopes he didn’t upset Mask already. He hates upsetting people!

Mhm, I see... *whispers with a grimace of disgust while crossing his arms, keeping his gaze lowered as he thinks* I suppose they will be some other version of me.

*He looks at you and then shakes his head, smiling slightly* Don't worry, it's nothing. I've been searching for a fairy named Navi for years, so the name caught me off guard.

*He keeps his arms crossed, then sighs and after looking up at the sky, turns his gaze back to you*

And... how did you get into this temporary mess?

I did say they look just like you.

Oh, yeah, that’d make sense… Like how I met Rikku while looking for Riku! That was strange, hehe.

Me? I found a kid named Jun, who was incredibly lost, so I helped him get back here and decided to stick around! It’s a lot bigger than other worlds— places, I mean, but that I’ve been to! Lots more people, too.

*He’s wandering. He doesn’t know where he is, or where Crimson is, or where Zelda is. He wants to go back to Skyloft. He doesn’t like being down here. The cloud are too high, and all he can see is ground..!

*He doesn’t know where he is, or where he’s going, or why he’s going anywhere. But he is. At least it isn’t as cold here..

@knight-in-training-sky (age 5)

*He was walking along, searching for butterflies with a deku stick in his hand, when he saw you, raising an eyebrow with equal parts confusion and curiosity before approaching, still holding the stick*

Hey little one, what are you doing here? *he asked calmly once he was close enough to you. He could have sworn he knew you from somewhere, but he couldn't remember where*

knight-in-training-sky

*He jumps, startled by the words. He blinks at the other — a kid like him.

I- I’m- I d-don’t know..

*His voice is soft, small.

I j-just showed up here…

#lu rp #mask link #knight in training sky

*He raises an eyebrow, confused, but nods*

Well... My name is Mask, do you know your name? *he asked curiously, looking around for any monster or person, anything would explain your appearance*

Are you hurt? There shouldn't be monsters here, but I'm asking anyway.

morally-grey-warriors

Captain! Captain! Captain! Hi!

*runs to you and gives you a koala hug*

.

⛼ @mask-link

*hugs you back with a big smile*

Hey Sprite!! I've missed you!!

*ruffles hair*

What've you been up to lately? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages!

I've missed you too big brother! *He smiles brightly, just hugging you and letting you ruffle his hair*

Oh, I've been trying to see how far back in time I could go, but I got stuck.*he says with some embarrassment, but rests his cheek on your chest*

But I'm out now and I'm trying to catch up with everyone. I don't know how long I was gone. *He says calmly before looking up at you.*

And you, Captain? How have you been?

morally-grey-warriors

*wars laughs a bit and then scratches the back of their head*

Umm, funny story Sprite...I don't exactly remember the last like month or so...

*they hold up their vine arm*

I did do a bit of amateur dungeon exploration and then lost an arm, but it was all fine because I used the ancient forest magic to grow a new one. this did set me back on my research of said ancient forest magic because apparently libraries now give me panic attacks. But otherwise I've been pretty good. Trying to stay in the loop of things and failing a bit, but that's ok.

*they look at you with a smile*

Sounds like you also have had an interesting time though! Do you know where you got stuck? Or was it just in like a weird place that exists outside of time?

*He watched you curiously as you spoke, at first showing understanding because he did recognize that part of the story, but as you reached the end, he distanced himself from you and looked at you in a worried way*

But... are you okay? Do you feel alright? *He asked, observing you closely and pretty worried* Do you need anything? If you wanna, I can go read the books at the libraries and then tell you the information I found.

I don't know. It felt like I was falling over and over again, but time travel has always been like that... Although it was longer than I ever thought. *He remains silent and lowers his gaze, confused, but simply hugs you with an nervous laugh* It felt like I'd been in a coma again like when I took up the sword; I thought I wouldn't wake up for a while... A month passed, I think...

morally-grey-warriors

*wars smiles reasuringly*

I feel fine Sprite, don't worry. I only get a little phantom pain here and there, but its nothing unmanageable. And I can go to the library, there's a hidden door you have to go through that seems to react to my magic, so unfortunately, I think I have to go back to get the answers I need. You can join me if you'd like!

*wars nods as you tell your story*

That sounds nothing like the time travel I've done, but you use an ocarina, don't you?

*they hug you back*

I think a month has passed for both of us without realizing, Sprite. Which is a little odd...come to think of it...

*they wave their hands as if brushing away the thought*

But that doesn't matter.

#mask link #lu rp #morally grey warriors

*He watched you with some concern as you spoke, but once you suggested he accompany you, his mood seemed to improve considerably.* Really? Can I? *He asked, trying to hide his excitement*

*He nods as well when he hears you ask about the ocarina, maintaining a small smile* I use the blue one, the one Zel gave me. But lately it doesn't seem to conect with My wishes; before, I could manipulate time perfectly. Maybe the goddess of time doesn't approve of pointless time travel.

*He returns your hug with a smile, nodding at your comment.* Perhaps there's something we have in common. *He adds, though when he sees you downplaying it, he does the same.* Or maybe not, it shouldn't matter much... Anyways, why worry about "maybes"? *he says decisively, erasing the thought from his mind as well*

*A boy with bright blue eyes and spiky brown hair whistles to himself as he walks, spinning a large key in one hand. It’s the side of a weapon, though the hand guard alone seems… Unhelpful, from how it covers both sides of the hand.

*He glances in your direction, giving a grin and a wave.

Hey! I haven’t met you before. I’m Sora!

Well, I can say the same... *He says this while observing your body, noticeably looking to your key*

It's nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Mask. *He reports by placing his hand on his chest, as a small formal greeting* May I ask where did you come from? You don't seem to be Hylian.

Oh, I’m not!

*Despite all this, he keeps a grin on his face.

I’m from a small group of islands you’ve never heard of, hehe. It’s nice to meet you too, Mask! You look a lot like someone else I know.

*He continues to watch you curiously as you speak, even squinting slightly* Well, it's surprising you're so sure of other people's knowledge.

*He lets out a small grunt, clearly displeased with the mess that's being created in time, but at the same time, powerless to do anything to prevent it.*

Oh really? *He question once he's notified of the similar look* Can I ask who I look like to You?

Oh, no, it’s so far away it’d practically take a ship to get there.

*He snickers, a joke you’re not meant to understand in there.

Nah, nobody from any version of Hyrule would be able to get there on their own. Would take me or somebody else I know to do it.

Well, they look just like you physically, but your hearts are surprisingly both the same and different! Uh, go by Clock or Navi, not entirely sure how it works? But yeah!

*He hears your laughter and raises an eyebrow in confusion, but decides not to say anything about it, instead, he's focused on your words*

I understand *he said simply, unsure whether he should ask more about it or not, so he decided not to*

Ah, there are several heroes here, so you might know someone I don't. *He said calmly, but upon hearing the names, he tensed and quickly turned to look at you.* "Navi"? The Hylian you know is called Navi?

*Sora catches the tensing immediately, but nods.

Yeah. Navi or Clock. I’m not, uh, entirely sure on that. Navi said Clock was a different person? But it was the same heart, and only one heart in the body..

Is that a problem?

*He hopes he didn’t upset Mask already. He hates upsetting people!

Mhm, I see... *whispers with a grimace of disgust while crossing his arms, keeping his gaze lowered as he thinks* I suppose they will be some other version of me.

*He looks at you and then shakes his head, smiling slightly* Don't worry, it's nothing. I've been searching for a fairy named Navi for years, so the name caught me off guard.

*He keeps his arms crossed, then sighs and after looking up at the sky, turns his gaze back to you*

And... how did you get into this temporary mess?

I did say they look just like you.

Oh, yeah, that’d make sense… Like how I met Rikku while looking for Riku! That was strange, hehe.

Me? I found a kid named Jun, who was incredibly lost, so I helped him get back here and decided to stick around! It’s a lot bigger than other worlds— places, I mean, but that I’ve been to! Lots more people, too.

Yes, but it may or may not be another version of me. *he explained* It may just look like me, or it may be me but with a variation in age and time... Although I know if it's a little difficult to understand.

*He nods, agreeing with you even though he doesn't know who either of those two people is, but he wasn't going to ask*

Jun..? Mhm... I don't know who is he but i'm glad you helped him. *He crosses his arms, watching you, and then smiles smugly* I know, you can spend a long time walking around and you won't get bored.

*Then he falls silent and looks at you, confused.* Did you say worlds? You can travel between worlds?

I think maybe I get it? It’s like Rox and Ven, how they look nearly identical and people confuse them but they’re not each other? I dunno how close that is, heh!

*He grins at Mask’s smug smile, hooking his hands behind his head.

Yup! Goofy says I’m just like a kid allowed to explore! Go a little everywhere, do a little everything..

Uh- no. I said places.

*Sora is…Not good, at lying under pressure like this, that’s clear.

*He shoves a black cloth down into the pouch against his leg more, as if hiding it.

I don't really know who "Rox" or "Ven" are, but I think you've got it. *he indicated calmly*

That's fine, you won't always have the freedom to explore as much as you want. *He shrugged.* That "Goofy" guy is very wise, listen to him.

*He watches you with interest, judging your comment and your actions. He doesn't take his eyes off you, as if analyzing you.*

You are someone who is not Hylian; you arrived here by chance while you are helping someone else get here. *He reviews you in a calm tone, squinting as he judges you* How did you get here? Because you did help someone get here, and you needed to be able to do so before they asked for help...

. . . Who are you?

Uh- sorry! Theyre, no, just forget I even mentioned ‘em, heheh..

Yeah. Donald an’ Goofy are pretty smart! Even if Donald isn’t very nice sometimes..

*He tilts his head at the calm analyzing. He blinks at the questions.

Uh-… I’m Sora. Keyblade Wielder. I help everyone? It’s my whole job!

*He grins brightly, tilting his head.

*He crosses his arms and sighs, raising an eyebrow, judging*

Well, I'm Link. Hero of Time. I also help others and make sure time doesn't go to hell again with paradoxes and time travel so... Your work also influences my work.

*He sighs again and watches you*

Could you please tell me how you got here? And no, I'm not talking about who you helped; I've already heard that part. I want you to tell me how you left your world and entered this one.

Damn, how long was I gone this time? This time-loop-stuff is becoming more difficult to control...

Welcome back, Mask! You've been gone for...awhile. A lot has happened since we last spoke...

Hi, Tears! Oh- really? I didn't realize... Can you tell me what I missed?

Oh boy, where do I begin? Uh, after we talked...

I did something stupid, got rid of my voice. Don't regret doing that.

Birdie went and got his emotions back, I went with him.

Shortly after that, I stupidly made a deal with an evil version of my Zelda and now have my voice back, so yay. *She finishes her statement in a sarcastic tone.*

I have involved myself in trying to help a mini version of myself because he's being abused, and have dragged his Zelda into it as well — that is a bit necessary, simply because I'm not the one who can help him right now.

I adopted Birdie, which is nice. He's struggling but he's happy I adopted him. Birdie also has his voice back now.

Let's see, what else... Um, besides something personal I'm not open to telling people right now, I think that's basically it.

*He just listens, frowning in agreement with your words and to make sure you know he's listening*

I've missed a lot then. *He says, rubbing the back of his neck* btw, which Evil'Zelda are u talking about? The one with white tears?

And it was matter of time for you to adopt Birdie so i'm not longer shocked about it at this point. Is everything alright with Birdie now that he got his emotions back? Last time I saw him he didn't knew if he really wanted to take it back...

*he sits in the floor, with an small smile* What happened with the others? Did u talk with them?

Are there more evil versions of my Zelda?

*Tear asked, tilting her head.*

The one I know goes by Recall.

*She scratches at her cheek.*

I don't even know what my end of the deal is supposed to be, so that's a bit stressful.

*She flushes at your statement.*

Well hey now, no need to call me out. *She laughs lightly.* Well... It's not perfect, I wish I could say he's doing better. He was, for a time, but now he has some weird...thing attached to him and it's messing with his head. Unfortunately, I can't tell what it is — I can pick up a magic signature when it's "speaking" to him, I guess.

*She sits down on the floor with you. She slides her slip-on shoe off her foot before rubbing her ankle, which looked a little swollen.*

Starshine, Birdie's Fi, and I are trying to figure out how to combat it so we can figure out what it is, so that we can get rid of it, but it's not easy. Especially since I can't always be there for Birdie right now.

But he doesn't seem to want to remove his emotions, yet, and I'm proud of him for pushing through despite how scary and stressful things are.

*She blinks, rubbing her face with a slight groan.*

Forgive me, I'm exhausted so my brain's foggy. What do you mean by others?

I-... I guess...? *He makes a confused face and puts his hand to the back of his neck* I remember seeing a couple of Zeldas... Although it's kind of hard to know if they were yours or just similar, my memories are a bit blurry.

*He puts his hand on his chin, listening attentively and frowning as you add details* I don't think it's the same one I meet so I can't tell you nothing about her but... I really hope the deal isn't smthing dangerous.

*He crosses his arms with an annoyed sigh* Although I must admit it was quite dumb of you to make a deal with an Evil, these two worlds shouldn't mix.

*He smiles once he hears you laugh softly, though that smile turns into an annoyed grimace* I see... I'm sorry Birdie is going through that, it must be difficult for both of you.

Mhm... Thats alright then, at least it's something good. *He glances discreetly at your ankle while nodding, implying that he's listening to you* What's wrong with your ankle? You're okay?

*He sighs, looking away, unsure how to explain what he means* I mean... Uh... The others. I don't know, did something else happen? When I left there was a lot of chaos. Ribbon, Captain, Flora, Tulin.. What happened to the others?

Eh, Recall's basically what would've happened if Sil went insane during my 100 year coma. At least that's my understandin' of her. Evil Evil Wild was not happy with me makin' that deal, and now he's ignorin' me unless I run into Recall again, so yeah.

I'm...worried about it... I'm also worried about her knowin' that thing I'm tryin' ta keep secret for the time being. She knows, I don't know how, but she does...

*She shrugs.* Most of the Evils I've met have been nice. Recall's the only truly evil one I know of.

*She sighs.* It...can be. Weirdly enough, the thing's obsessed with me. I can't help but wonder if that's why it attached itself to Birdie. It gets trickier when Birdie doesn't explain what he's being told, it becomes a guessin' game when he shuts down. I don't blame him, but I'm so worried.

Hmm? Oh, yeah, just been on my feet for too long. Been happenin' a lot lately, however, it's not anythin' ta worry about. Just a symptom of what I'm going through, as annoyin' as it is, my situation is a positive one.

*She groans, placing her face into her hands.* Don't get me started on everyone else.

Ribbon broke the prosthetic I designed for Birdie, so now I have to fix that and it's not goin' well. I don't even know how he broke it unless he's no longer a freakin' doll.

Sky is currently possessed by Demise, which he told me was goin' ta happen, but still... I just hope whatever plan he and the Legends were workin' on fuckin' works.

*She sits up, looking at you.* Last I spoke ta Wars, we were makin' plans ta visit the library in my era. However, that was weeks ago.

Twi, the one that adopted me, is havin'...I can't say it's an issue 'cause it's not botherin' him, but he's more wolf-like. Oh, however, I did speak with him about the adoption thing and viewin' him more like a siblin' than anythin'. So I have a big brother now...which is weird 'cause I've always been the big brother or sister...

So I definitely don't remember her, nor "Sil," but I understand the situation. *He sighs, tilting his head to one side as he listens attentively* While it's quite worrying that Evil Evil Wild leaves the things this way, he's a great guy.

I understand she has some kind of connection to time *he reports, putting a hand to the back of his neck in confusion* Or maybe I'm confusing her with someone else... Anyways, I believe it should be the same even though they are different.

I understand, although there's nothing that can be done about it. I suppose if he wants to talk, or something like that, he will do it. *He shrugs and nods with a sigh as he listens to you* And... have you tried treating it before? It might not be a huge problem, but that ankle must be bothering you.

Oh, i'm sorry, just wanted to know. *he says with a small smile, resting his chin on his hand as he listens to you attentively, nodding every now and then to indicate that he's listening*

I see... Things have changed a bit then. *He sighed, looking at the ground and making a face of annoyance as he listened to you talking about Warriors* I suppose I'll have to keep an eye on the condition of those later.

*When he hears you talk about Twi, he gives a small smile and nods calmly.* Welcome to the world of the little brother. It's good to have someone you can trust. *She says with a kind smile, looking up at the blue sky* I suppose you needed that, I'm so happy for you.

Ah, Sil's my Zelda. She's so busy dealin' with her duties that I forget most people haven't met her. *She states with a sheepish smile.*

No, you're correct. Floras have time powers on top of their goddess powers. Wilds technically do, as well. I know I do, between my ability to slow down time in fights and gaining Sil's recall ability. *She lifts her right hand, looking at it in thought. She can't remember if she's told you how her arm ended up green.*

I... Treatin' it would be temporary, Mask. I'm goin' ta be dealin' with it for the next few months... *She sighs softly, giving a light hum.*

*She smiles softly, looking at the ground in front of them.* Yeah, I did. It helped, just talkin' ta him. My mental health has improved since then, and I'm proud of myself. Usually, I'd already have crumbled under the stress I've found myself under.

I...suppose I had a hiccup where I stopped eatin' and sleepin' because I couldn't bring myself ta. I'm very tired and well...eatin' a struggle right now, so I suppose nothin's changed on that front.

Oh, oh, got it! *he nods* I don't like to be very close with the Zelda's, so it's also my fault.

*He simply listens, nodding with a small snort* That's unfair! Now we're all time heroes then! *He puts his hands behind his neck and lies back on the grass, looking at your right hand too* Does it hurt? You never told me about it. But if You don't want to talk about, I won't insist.

*He nods with a big smile as he listens to you talk about Twi, unable to contain his joy* You look happy. *He said calmly* Before you looked sadder and more withdrawn, now it's as if you've been relieved of a great burden.

*He lets out a sigh, maintaining his big smile* It's always good to see that face. Take good care of your big brother, mkay? Or I'll punch you.

*She laughs.* I think I much prefer being the Hero of the Wild. Besides, unlike Sil, I can't travel through time...at least...as far as I'm aware I can't. Don't think I want to find out.

*She looks at her hand before shaking her head.* Nah, I mean, it took time ta get used ta sharper nails, but it's just my arm now. When Ganondorf destroyed my arm originally, that hurt. This arm was attached ta Ganondorf, keepin' him sealed under Hyrule Castle. It once belonged ta the king who founded Hyrule in my era, which adds another layer of weird ta it. He's long gone now, so- *She shrugs at the end of her statement, not sure if there's anything else to say on that matter.*

Well... I've done a lot since speakin' ta him. I moved in with my husband, livin' alone wasn't helpin' me. Now we have quite the house full, so I'm rarely alone now. I'm startin' a family with adoptin' Birdie, even if he's strugglin' right now. I can't help but be happier, even if I'm strugglin' a little bit.

*She laughs, looking at you.* Well, wait a few months, then you can if necessary. Speaking of, I should reach out to him. He doesn't know I got my voice back yet, have had a lot goin' on. I also have other news I wanna tell him.

*He smiles and nods* Being the hero of time isn't the best tittle tho- so don't try to find it out.

*He listens calmly, occasionally making faces of confusion because of how strange the explanation is to him, but he doesn't say much about it* But how did Ganondorf manage to destroy your arm if it was being sealed by the arm of the former king? *He asks, confused, observing your right arm*

*He listens to the changes that have occurred since then, maintaining a smile and calmly nodding every now and then* You look happy, that must be what matters.

I'll do it, huh? *he says with a smile as he sits back down on the floor* I'm really going to do it!

*He listens and simply nods several times, as a way of showing he agrees* You should have told him from the beginning. *He waves his hand while whispering small "shoo, shoo!" Go and tell him! If you need anything, I'll be around.

The seal broke. *She states simply.* Zelda and I went under the castle, approached Ganondorf's body, the arm fell off, Ganondorf woke up and tried to attack Zelda. Obviously, I got in the way... The Master Sword got shattered at the same time but Zelda healed it, so all good now.

Well...the last we spoke, we had talked about my voice and all of that. I told him I didn't regret gettin' rid of it, after clarifin' that I was the one who got rid of it physically and not through some magical means, so for me to go back with my voice now... I'm not sure I'm ready ta be questioned even if I have no plans on hidin' the truth from him.

*She sighs softly.* It's just a bit stressful ta have people constantly mad at ya when you're just tryin' ya best.

*He made a confused face and nodded slowly, indicating that he understood but something just didn't quite fit.* Why did you seal his physical body in Hyrule Castle in the first place? *He then asked, observing you* We sealed Ganon in the Sacred Realm, a place no one can enter. The seals will eventually break, that's obvious, but... why leave him in Hyrule?

*He crosses his arms, nodding* I suppose you want your space to process this first, and that's fine, I understand. I'm sure he'll understand too.

*He listens to you, then lowers his gaze and nods, understanding.* You're trying hard to improve... I'm not as important as him, I won't be, and I don't expect to be... But I want you to know that I'm proud of you.

*He puts his hand to the back of his neck, with a nervous chuckle* It's not common for someone younger than you to say that, but... Speaking both as one of the heroes before you and as someone who has seen how much you've done to be a better version of yourself: I'm really proud of you.

Okay, so, Hyrule Castle as I know it was built on top of Ganondorf after he was sealed. Then the Calamity were indicators that the seal had weakened. The job of the Princess was to reseal Ganon's power away and basically strengthen the seal. However, Ganondorf's existence underneath the castle became a family secret, and was long forgotten by mine and Zelda's time outside of "yeah, there's something down there, but you're not allowed to go down there".

Unfortunately, Zelda wasn't able ta seal Ganon away when she was supposed ta, because me and the Champions died. By the time she was able ta seal Ganon away, because I had then awoken from my 100 year coma, her power wasn't strong enough ta properly strengthen the seal at well.

With the castle being in as much disrepair as it is, and Zelda neglectin' it, the seal officially broke 6 years after I defeated the Calamity. That was a year ago now.

I...don't think we have access ta the Sacred Realm, didn't even know that was a thing.

*She nods.* Yeah...I haven't had time ta even process havin' my voice back myself, preparin' for that type of conversation properly instead of it just slippin' out would be nice.

*She smiles a little, tilting her head.* You are important ta me, too, Mask. I don't think I'd be tellin' ya any of this if you weren't. And... It does mean a lot ta me ta hear that from ya.

#lu rp #mask link #tearlurp

*He narrows his eyes in confusion as he listens, increasingly incredulous at the information you add. He understands the situation, of course, nodding occasionally to show he's paying attention, but his confused expression was noticeable the whole time.*

But-... That's absurd! *He blurts out, crossing his arms in confusion* I thought they sealed Ganondorf away after building the castle, not the other way around! It's completely stupid!

The royal family, specifically, should be able to access it regardless of the era, and, yes, that's precisely the point. The Sacred Realm is a parallel realm to Hyrule; it's called the Golden Land because the golden goddesses created it themselves to protect the golden power, the Triforce, from mortals. *He crosses his arms, visibly stressed, then sighs and begins to explain* The vast majority of people don't know the Sacred Realm exists, much less how to get there. Even I was unaware of it until my Zelda told me about it. That's exactly why we sealed our Ganondorf there.

*He sighs and runs a hand through his hair* I don't understand why they thought sealing Ganondorf in Hyrule, with his physical body immobilized, would be a good idea. That screams that it's wrong, no matter how you look at it.

*He listens and nods, understanding and respecting you at the same time.* That sounds good to me, just don't overthink it. What you think does more harm than what others do..

*He listens to you and smiles gently, nodding without saying another word; he doesn't want to ruin the moment.*

...why do you look like me?

-@younglinkoftermina (//Saw the opportunity to do something REALLY funny.)

. . .

*sigh*

That's my question. Who are you and why do you look like me?

Navi, and I don't know? I was hoping you did. What's your name, though?

. . . "Navi"? Thats a bad name, why is that your name?

Mask, you can call me Mask *crosses his arms with a stressed sigh* And I suppose that perhaps we are the same person in different time periods, I suppose you are already used to this nonsense of time loops and paradoxes.

It just is? It's not that bad.

That'd make sense, and I am, as much as I dislike it... What's happening for you, then? I'm trying to save Termina.

I think it is. How do you expect to find Navi if you have the same name? *He question while crossing his arms* Although my name isn't exactly better either.

Oh, I am, maybe, one or two years after you. *explains calmly* I've already left the lands of Termina and now I'm... in another time-travel mess. Although I don't know if I should give you too many details, my brother would get angry if I talked too much when I wasn't asked.

I'm not looking for a "Navi", though.

Another? Is it the whole "people from other time periods" meeting thing? I know Red's not from here.

Your brother sounds mean.

. . . You're not? Why? *He asks, noticeably puzzled* Do you even knew Navi?

Yeah, yeah, it is. Some wicked witch or something, I never wanted to know much about it. *growled in annoyance* It's a war, but hopefully you won't end up there.

*He raises an eyebrow and then quickly shakes his head* No, he's the best person in the world. He just wants to save me from trouble, you know, with all this nonlinear timeline stuff.

Aside from me, no.

(Hm... she wondered if this was a thing Clock knew. Not that she could talk to him...)

How long has the war been on for? I think we're talking about two different things, though. Red's not part of war.

...right.

Wh-... Then how did you end up in Termina? *He takes a moment to process, bringing his hand to his chin* Is your name even Link?

I've been here for about a year and four months or something like that, although Captain says the war will continue for a while longer.

Who's "Red" btw?

...yes? Why wouldn't it be? And the Lost Woods.

I hope that it ends soon.

A friend of mine. He and I were in Termina together for a bit, actually.

(...not exactly a "bit", but you didn't need to know that.)

Mhm... I thought maybe we wouldn't be the same, but we definitely are. *thinks for a few seconds* And why were you in the Lost Woods without a fairy?

Although it's a selfish wish on my part... *He remains silent for a few seconds before laughing nervously* I really don't want the war to end.

Oh! I unferstand, is he a hero too?

Because I just was. I'm ok, though. But what do you mean by "wouldn't be the same"?

Is it because you don't want to leave your brother?

Mhm. He's nice.

Well, like I said. *He just looks at you, confused, but then decides not to ask any more questions.* I mean, I thought maybe we weren't the same hero with a time difference and were completely different, but it's pretty clear that that theory is wrong.

*He remains silent for a moment after hearing you, then presses his lips together and after a few seconds sighs, letting out a chuckle* Well, we're definitely the same person... *whispers before seeing you* Yes, that's exactly why.

I can imagine that. *he nods* Which temple have you finished?

Why is that clear?

Oh. I also hope you don't have to leave him.

I think I last did Snowhead? I'm not sure. I've been more worried about Red than the moon, lately.

Because Termina isn't a place you can arrive at every day. *He explains* Besides, I've met several heroes, and definitely no one looks exactly like me.

*He smiles and nods* Me too

Why? Did something happened to him?

That makes more sense.

...I guess you could say that.

Mhm... Wanna talk about it?

I guess if you don't mind?

I don't mind at all. I have all the time in the world.

Go on, i'll be here.

If you say so.

[She explained some of what had happened in Termina. Not much, just that she'd had to witness Red die quite a few times, but enough that you understood the gist of things.]

*He simply crosses his arms while listening to you, with a grimace of both annoyance and confusion*

I understand, I'm sorry you went through that. Are you okay?

I think so? It's confusing. I'm really just glad that Red's ok now.

#OOC: I don't really know how to make him notice but i'll try smthing #OOC: Thanks btw #mask link #lu rp

Why would it be confusing? *asks curiously* It's good that you're worried about Red, but you should also worry about yourself, you know?

*He’s wandering. He doesn’t know where he is, or where Crimson is, or where Zelda is. He wants to go back to Skyloft. He doesn’t like being down here. The cloud are too high, and all he can see is ground..!

*He doesn’t know where he is, or where he’s going, or why he’s going anywhere. But he is. At least it isn’t as cold here..

@knight-in-training-sky (age 5)

*He was walking along, searching for butterflies with a deku stick in his hand, when he saw you, raising an eyebrow with equal parts confusion and curiosity before approaching, still holding the stick*

Hey little one, what are you doing here? *he asked calmly once he was close enough to you. He could have sworn he knew you from somewhere, but he couldn't remember where*

*A boy with bright blue eyes and spiky brown hair whistles to himself as he walks, spinning a large key in one hand. It’s the side of a weapon, though the hand guard alone seems… Unhelpful, from how it covers both sides of the hand.

*He glances in your direction, giving a grin and a wave.

Hey! I haven’t met you before. I’m Sora!

- @keyblade-wielder-sora

*He observes you curiously, raising an eyebrow and returning your greeting with an slow wave*

Well, I can say the same... *He says this while observing your body, noticeably looking to your key*

It's nice to meet you, Sora. I'm Mask. *He reports by placing his hand on his chest, as a small formal greeting* May I ask where did you come from? You don't seem to be Hylian.

*His clothing is- unusual, for the Hylian style. A lot of scars litter his arms and legs. He’s thin, not in an overly-concerning way, but in a way that he doesn’t quite fill out the clothes obviously made just for him. It’s hard to see any muscle under the layers. l

Oh, I’m not!

*Despite all this, he keeps a grin on his face.

I’m from a small group of islands you’ve never heard of, hehe. It’s nice to meet you too, Mask! You look a lot like someone else I know.

*He continues to watch you curiously as you speak, even squinting slightly* Well, it's surprising you're so sure of other people's knowledge.

*He shrugged, crossing his arms afterward.* Though I don't doubt the truth of your words, I assume you're informing me about it 'cuz that group of islands can't be reached on my timeline and therefore doesn't concern me, am I correct?

*He lets out a small grunt, clearly displeased with the mess that's being created in time, but at the same time, powerless to do anything to prevent it.*

Oh really? *He question once he's notified of the similar look* Can I ask who I look like to You?

Oh, no, it’s so far away it’d practically take a ship to get there.

*He snickers, a joke you’re not meant to understand in there.

Nah, nobody from any version of Hyrule would be able to get there on their own. Would take me or somebody else I know to do it.

Well, they look just like you physically, but your hearts are surprisingly both the same and different! Uh, go by Clock or Navi, not entirely sure how it works? But yeah!

*He hears your laughter and raises an eyebrow in confusion, but decides not to say anything about it, instead, he's focused on your words*

I understand *he said simply, unsure whether he should ask more about it or not, so he decided not to*

Ah, there are several heroes here, so you might know someone I don't. *He said calmly, but upon hearing the names, he tensed and quickly turned to look at you.* "Navi"? The Hylian you know is called Navi?

*Sora catches the tensing immediately, but nods.

Yeah. Navi or Clock. I’m not, uh, entirely sure on that. Navi said Clock was a different person? But it was the same heart, and only one heart in the body..

Is that a problem?

*He hopes he didn’t upset Mask already. He hates upsetting people!

Mhm, I see... *whispers with a grimace of disgust while crossing his arms, keeping his gaze lowered as he thinks* I suppose they will be some other version of me.

*He looks at you and then shakes his head, smiling slightly* Don't worry, it's nothing. I've been searching for a fairy named Navi for years, so the name caught me off guard.

*He keeps his arms crossed, then sighs and after looking up at the sky, turns his gaze back to you*

And... how did you get into this temporary mess?

I did say they look just like you.

Oh, yeah, that’d make sense… Like how I met Rikku while looking for Riku! That was strange, hehe.

Me? I found a kid named Jun, who was incredibly lost, so I helped him get back here and decided to stick around! It’s a lot bigger than other worlds— places, I mean, but that I’ve been to! Lots more people, too.

Yes, but it may or may not be another version of me. *he explained* It may just look like me, or it may be me but with a variation in age and time... Although I know if it's a little difficult to understand.

*He nods, agreeing with you even though he doesn't know who either of those two people is, but he wasn't going to ask*

Jun..? Mhm... I don't know who is he but i'm glad you helped him. *He crosses his arms, watching you, and then smiles smugly* I know, you can spend a long time walking around and you won't get bored.

*Then he falls silent and looks at you, confused.* Did you say worlds? You can travel between worlds?

I think maybe I get it? It’s like Rox and Ven, how they look nearly identical and people confuse them but they’re not each other? I dunno how close that is, heh!

*He grins at Mask’s smug smile, hooking his hands behind his head.

Yup! Goofy says I’m just like a kid allowed to explore! Go a little everywhere, do a little everything..

Uh- no. I said places.

*Sora is…Not good, at lying under pressure like this, that’s clear.

*He shoves a black cloth down into the pouch against his leg more, as if hiding it.

I don't really know who "Rox" or "Ven" are, but I think you've got it. *he indicated calmly*

That's fine, you won't always have the freedom to explore as much as you want. *He shrugged.* That "Goofy" guy is very wise, listen to him.

*He watches you with interest, judging your comment and your actions. He doesn't take his eyes off you, as if analyzing you.*

You are someone who is not Hylian; you arrived here by chance while you are helping someone else get here. *He reviews you in a calm tone, squinting as he judges you* How did you get here? Because you did help someone get here, and you needed to be able to do so before they asked for help...

. . . Who are you?
