Sharp Turn of Events

[help-im-stuck-in-the-wall-deact]

Oh boy. It really is bad news. He doesn’t need to sit down to remain calm so he continues standing and listens to the terrible news the other male has to tell him.

The freckled boy frowns visibly upon hearing the fate of his apple tree and some of his yard, but he was partly confused because he didn’t know what an train or an royal engineer was. Why he never heard of such things other than ‘royal.’

"Ah, excuse me your… Highness? I’d just like to see the damages but you don’t have to worry about paying me back! I just couldn’t do that to you! It was an accident, right? Accidents happen." He steps outside and closes the door to his house behind him, and then proceeds the scene of the accident, not without spinning the windvane first! Once he sees the damage, he stares in shock at the large mess. It was a disaster. Grass torn away to reveal the brown earth, some of the grass has even blackened and then his tree! His poor tree! Some of the branches have been broken off and there were apples everywhere. The good thing was, it was still standing at least. That was a relief.

"Oh wow… It really is bad… But that’s okay! You don’t have to worry about it. I don’t have a problem fixing this big mess…. Just one thing," He turns towards the train, quite boggled to see such a strange contraption. "Do you think you can move this…? What did you call it again? A train? I’d like it off my yard, but it’s pretty big… What is a train, exactly? And an engineer?"

He stepped aside, nodding and letting the taller male walk outside. Remaining quiet as the other examined the area, he tugged at his cap, tipping the brim down a little over his face. 

"Oh, um... yeah, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it'd be worse if I tried. Without any tracks, I'd have to say it'd be almost impossible to not cause your yard some unwanted makeover," he explained nervously.

Any sign of being polite and timid washed away almost instantly at the last phrase the other had uttered. "W-Wait a darn second there..!! Y...You don't know what a train is?! God almighty what kinda rock are you living under? Sheesh, by all the Spirits of Good you'd think the most important innovation in technology as we know it and the most efficient transportation device for all types of cargo-- people, items, loads, you name it, would be known by the world all over!" he yelled with a stronger voice rising still.

Grabbing at his cap, it now found its way into both his hands as he tugged and pulled at it viciously but not to the point he'd tear it apart. Continuing, he explained, "A train is an intricate locomotive vehicle that is made up a' multiple cars-- each one having a special purpose. That one right there is my 'Sweets Train' with an engine where fuel goes an' I steer, a car for my cannon t' launch bombs an' make things go 'KA-BOOM!!', a passenger car that anybody would enjoy to sit in since it's so darn sweet, and a freight car at the end that's specifically designed ta' make any train enthusiast drool even if there's cargo on there!! It goes super duper fast or cautiously slow, can make turns or straight ahead and behind! It can carry so many people anywhere as long as a line a' tracks are there ta' lead ya'! Underwater in special cases and it's good protection! A movin' set of armor even!! Comes in multiple forms ta' appeal t' all engineers an' passengers of any age or area! A legendary support of an entire nation that takes years to master the art form of drivin' it perfectly! A very foundation of New Hyrule..!!"

He took a deep breath, but his face showed no signs of slowing his vigorous speaking pace. He had begun to look sharper and angrier by the second as he spat out his words that had become shortened as he let his passion take control of him. "An engineer of a train goes an' does all sorts a' things! Repair the train, fuel the train, steer an' drive the train, deliver people and items all over-- they're true shinin' symbols of the kingdom! In fact, ya' have ta' be recognized by the princess 'erself ta' get such a title! Highest honor ta' be a royal engineer! I keep my certificate safe and in near mint condition! Nobody but the royal engineer drives her highness 'round the land! Y' got all 'dat?! I ain't even got all a' the basics covered for ya'!"

"Yes… This is my property." Oh boy, first a sudden loud wake up call and then this. Today has already started to be quite eventful. He wondered if this person was here to talk about the sudden boom he heard earlier and the mention of a tree worried him a little. There were plenty of trees towards the west, but he did have a specific tree that was his own. His apple tree. He loved that tree. It was a nice place to rest under and if he ever wanted a delicious apple, he can always go pick one himself if they were ready. Sometimes he’d even gather some in a basket so his mom can make apple pie and he’d try to help out too. But the one before him just said till the apple tree… Well, he better stop thinking before his imagination gets too out of hand.

"What happened….?" Whatever it was, it didn’t sound like this would be very good news.

[royalengineer]

Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he lowered his head down a little as he began to form a response.

"Um... well-- how do I say this kinda thing exactly...? I'd suggest sittin' down if you're the type to think that's a good way to keep yourself calm, but I might as well just come right out with it-- makes the pain go by reeeeal quick, y'know?

"Anywho, um... I can't say I know exactly how I got here, but I know how I ended up an' if that's your tree... well, I hope you don't mind waitin' a while for more apples cause your private property has unfortunately met an unfortunate end. Train wreck-- thing doesn't happen too often I assure you... just you're quite the unlucky fellow... I may be a royal engineer but I don't think I've come across such a peculiar situation! I swear on it by my very own life..!" He strained himself in his attempt to explain himself and it showed as his face contorted in his own pain of talking.

However, he quickly pipied in with sudden energy, "While I may be in no good position to do anything to really help you, I can pay for any damages-- go on! Name your price! I, um... well just ignore the ugly markin's on your lawn or a while, heheheh..."

Things were at first peaceful. It was the same ol’ usual thing for the young apprentice in training. Cuddled up all snuggly in his bed, snoozing the day away without a care in the world. That was until he heard a large crash outside of his house and it had spooked him so much, he fell off the bed with his face pressed against the rug.

The young boy groaned and got up lazily to his feet before fixing his bed head, putting on his hat and boots, and then adjusting his tunic. He simply tosses his blanket back onto his bed, thinking about fixing it later, but in truth, it was just going to remain messy until it’s time to go back to bed again.

Before going to check what that noise was, he gathered his belongings just in case whatever that loud noise was dangerous. However, the sudden harsh knock on the door made him freeze in place. Was that his little brother coming to tell him something? Or maybe he was in trouble with his dad, the Blacksmith and Gulley was here to tell him the news. Whatever it was, he was suspecting none other than his little brother. So he heads on over to the door to open it.

"Alright, Gulley. What is it to—" He cuts himself off once he sees that it’s not who he thought it was, but a boy that appeared to be at or around his age.

"Oh, hello. Uh.. Did you need something?" This was unexpected. He normally didn’t get visitors.

[royalengineer]

Gulley, huh. Well, he wasn't quite expecting to be that one guy that was fulfilling the usual role of another person, but it wasn't too bad a situation to be in. Perhaps had he been more intelligent he could have used this as a chance to analyze the other. Alas, he did not. 'Gulley sounded like an important and gutsy name!' was probably the only observation made really.

It took him a moment to recover from the brief time he had become lost in his thoughts. Clearing his throat, he started, "Um, I'm goin' to assume that this here is your property, right? If someone else is the one who owns this place and westward 'til the tree, I'd like to talk to 'em over somethin'... Somethin' real important..."

Well... It wasn't the prettiest thing to happen in his life-- that much he was sure of. He had remained perfectly still as he tried to comprehend what exactly had happened.

It had happened very quickly and suddenly. All he had planned that day was to make a few deliveries since he had not been notified to transport the royal family. It was, in theory, supposed to be one of the easiest rides of his life. There weren't many obstacles (unless you called distractions obstacles) and the destinations were fairly close by. 

However, when he had taken his Dessert Train out that day for the tracks, it was not too long before there seemed to be an unnerving flash of light. Right before his eyes the scenery had completely changed from barren woodland to something that looked more... populated he supposed?

He had no time to think as he had successfully rammed into a tree. The emergency brake was pulled and the train had halted sharply. That was not going to be good on the train he groaned mentally. He cautiously stepped down from his cart to look at the surrounding area.

There were no tracks in sight and instead skid marks most likely left from his train. It had most likely created a loud ruckus with the addition of the sparks that flew. The tree he had crashed was identified as an apple tree with some of the fruit that fell to the ground. He gave a sigh and patted off some of the heavy, gray dust and proceeded to walk eastward to the nearest house, knocking on it with some great force.

Eating headcanon! As in, their manners when it comes to eating.

[ Link is probably not that guy you want to bring to your parents' house for a meal. He chews with his mouth open half the time if he's planning on blabbering and makes a mess with both his crumbs and his feet if he raises them onto the table and leans back. He'll forget most table courtesies and will especially put his elbows on the table if his feet aren't kicked up. 

Remind him though and he'll make an earnest effort to clean himself up. You might just need to scold him repeatedly during the meal. ]

[royalengineer]

Walk headcanon! As in, how do they walk?

[ Well, Link doesn't just walk often, so it's kinda difficult to picture really! Usually if he's walking, he's doing it with some alternate purpose that affects his posture and such. However, if it's just a relaxed stroll with no outside factors like society or a goal to achieve, he's pretty lazy with his walk.

In fact, he kinda has really bad posture and slouches a lot! He doesn't really carry himself well and he kind of just slides his feet, dragging them behind him as opposed to making an effort to raise them off the ground every time he takes a step. 

This isn't to say he's some hunchback or anything. He just doesn't really stiffen his muscles or exert extra energy into it. Sometimes he leans back and holds his head up with crossed arms behind it, but otherwise that's pretty much his walk! 

BONUS:

If he's extra focused on making a good impression, he exaggerates his walk by making big strides and swinging his arms a bit more. It's almost like a cartoon the way he walks this way. There's energy but it's not quite the most prim style. ]

[ Since I need an obligatory first post so my blog will actually appear in some of tumblr's functions, I guess I'll just devote this as an introduction.

Hello! I am your ST Link and I honestly am really hesitant about grabbing opens (sometimes) and asking for threads so if you want to have a thread with me just tag it #royalengineer and I'll get it or something.

I've also noticed you guys keep individual tagging systems which you post and unfortunately I'm not as organized to do that so I guess I'll just keep a track of what triggers you guys have but for the record I will be tagging stuff like gore, nsfw, and epilepsy, ooc, opens, art, and such. ]
