Do you know Dr. Stone? If so, can I have the Chain with a fem human reader who is like Senku? The reader takes advantage of being in Hyrule to do research on the different species that exist there and does experiments or machines that the Chain doesn't know about and using the Chain as guinea pigs to learn more about the biology of the Hylians.
I am…SOMEWHAT familiar with Dr.Stone? Not enough to be part of the fandom, I just know a vague gist, but a crazy scientist reader shouldn’t be too hard to figure out ! (Has to give the wiki a quick scan tho…😅)
——————
Let’s face it, Reader is a menace. A lovable menace, sure, but a menace nonetheless. They had too many ideas, too much knowledge, and zero fear of experimenting on the people around them.
The Chain quickly realized that you weren’t JUST curious about Hyrule’s different species, you were curious about EVERYTHING. Every village you passed through was a new research opportunity.
Gorons? Reader poked at their rocky skin, tested their body heat, and theorized why they could survive on a diet of literal rocks. Zoras? Reader studied their scales, their gills, even how their body structure compared to fish. Rito?
They nearly plucked a feather off a passing child before Twilight stopped them.
Reader: ”For SCIENCE, Twi! You don’t understand.”
Twilight: ”Only thing I understand is that you’re about to get your ass kicked by an entire flock of angry Rito parents.”
But the real problem?
The Chain was their easiest test subjects.
Hylian biology wasn’t anything too different from what they already knew, but they still had so many questions.
Why were some Hylians taller than others? Were their ears actually good at hearing? How different was their anatomy from a normal human?
Reader poked, prodded, and took notes on everything. They even tried to draw their anatomy from what they could figure out. (Sky was so red when he saw the diagrams, Legend smacked them over the head, and Hyrule just turned and walked away.)
Reader’s biggest victim? Wild.
Why?
Because he lets them.
Reader “Hey, Wild, can I take a sample of your hair?”
Wild: “Sure, do you need a chunk or just a few strands?”
Wild: “What about a small blood sample? Nothing major, just a few drops.”
Wild: “Eh, why not.”
Twilight stopped them from collecting his spit.
Reader: “IT’S FOR A PH TEST, YOU COUNTRY BUMPKIN.”
Twilight: “WHAT EVEN IS THAT?!? YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW THE pH OF HIS SPIT, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.”
Reader took advantage of the fantasy setting to its fullest. Hyrule had magic, unexplainable creatures, literal deities, and they were going to study all of it.
When they realized that the Sheikah Slate had materials and blueprints from an advanced civilization, Wild barely had time to react before they yanked it from his hands. It took a whole week for him to get it back.
Wild: Reader, give me my Slate.
Reader: “I am doing RESEARCH.”
Wild: “IT’S MINE.”
Reader also invented shit.
Without modern resources, they had to get creative. Thwy used the environment, Wild’s cooking materials, and whatever spare parts the Chain had to make weapons, tools, even small gadgets.
The first time they made a small explosive, Time nearly had an aneurysm.
Time: “NO MORE BLOWING THINGS UP.”
Reader: “It’s for DEFENSE, OLD MAN.”
Warriors was their second biggest victim.Why? Because they used him as a guinea pig for their “hybrid energy” experiments.
Reader: “Okay, so technically, Hylian magic is a force field of energy produced from within, right? So, theoretically, if I adjust the angle and density of my conductive rods, I should be able to create an artificial current—”
Warriors, exasperated but curious: “Reader, are you trying to electrocute me?”
Reader: “It’s FOR SCIENCE, CAPTAIN.”
Legend was your biggest hater.
A few things the vet has said to them:
“Oh, great, what’s the lunatic trying to build now?”
“Reader, if you explode something again, I’m throwing you in the nearest lake.”
“STAY AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT NEEDLE.”
(To name a few)
But the moment he got injured, Reader was the first person he went to because their medicine worked better than potions and elixirs at times.
“Shut up,” he muttered as Reader smirked at him. “You’re the only one with antibiotics.”
“Oh? So you need me?”
“I WILL STAB YOU.”
They once started a fire in the middle of camp just to see how different types of wood burned.
Time banned them from touching firewood for a month.
Overall?
The Chain loved them, but they were a constant headache.
Reader was the only person who wanted to be in Hyrule for the sake of research, and even though their experiments terrified them, they couldn’t help but admire their genius.
Even if it meant they had to keep a close eye on them before they accidentally (re)invented nuclear warfare.
(Moment Wild mentioned Purah’s antics, the chain were horrified at the inevitable possibility of what the both of them would do together. So they drive to keep Reader as far from Purah as possible. It’s inevitable tho so..:sucks for them 😆)
