The Great Sea- The Legend of Zelda- The Wind Waker

The crew had gotten lost out in the wasteland. Things were looking dire as the day turned into night. That is until a little fellow came to save them.

"KTTTTZTT!!!!"
The angry wingless sapper lead the crew back homewards as it skipped over the poor soil, and burned ground.

The crew could finally see the growing city in sight. Salvation.

But where to hunker down for the night, they all discussed their options.

There was the mold cave, a rather unpleasant place, but as long as none of them died, how bad could it be?

There was also the central tower. The crew heard rumors of free open rooms with the world's softest beds.

There was also the castle as always. One of you had exclusive access to getting in, no problem.


Emberspark
"Wow what an angry, but helpful little guy. It's so easy to get lost out here with no landmarks."
Shoop
"Wow, thanks little guy!" Shoop pats the sapper on the head. "We're almost there!"
Trick
"It was, of course, destiny that I, and of course my proud companions, would make it back."
Kenneth
"I-I'm fine with whatever we do! I... frankly I try to get rid of any and all opinions I have."
Emberspark
"Kree kree kree. Well perhaps we should hunker down somewhere for the night?"
Shoop
"The soft beds sound nice... I usually sleep in leaf piles. Or on sofas. =)"
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"i gt 2 say. im getting really fkin tired o all dis weird shit going on. kinda want 2 go give production a piece o my mind. im missin out on the god blessed L3G3NDS 0F L1MB0 event 4 dis..."
Emberspark
"There is hardly any internet here. I can't even look up much info."
Kenneth
"I'm okay with sleeping on the floor."
Trick
"It... has been a while since I've had a nice bed. Hope I have nice hotels on my next tour."
Emberspark
Ember looks over her friends, nodding to herself. "Well checking out the central tower should be of some interest at least. Soft beds for adorable Shoop, perhaps some internet for Omega? You don't have to sleep on the floor, I assume, Kenneth, and rest for Trick as well."
Emberspark
Ember softly pats shoop and his tailmic on the head.

Shoop
"Hooray! Let's go Neuman!" Neuman jumps on Shoop's back as he begins moving, meaning it looks like a notail is riding him.
Emberspark
Ember leads them off to Central tower, hurrying along all the while as it grows dark.

The crew attempt to get into the center tower, but find an issue in their path. In front of the tower doors are the shrimp-like creatures. Each one has their face pushed up against the glass as they chitter and wait.

The store should be open, but it is not. The crew will need to find out how to get in.


Kenneth
"Well that's not....good...."

"Not... my usual crowd here. Hey uh, Habanero, think you can find anything?"

Habanero runs to the back of the tower. Seems there's a back door entrance, but it's locked!

"Hmm... Oh, I know!" Shoop attempts to-- Shoop puts down the rock he was holding as Habanero finds another entrance. "Oh, nice find!"

Habanero barks and demands pats for his great discovery.


Emberspark
Ember hurries after habanero as the dog rushes along, as they are lead to the back of the store. She looks around. "Well there is less of a crowd here..."

"neodmndfsdh. dis thing is hard af 2 open, can i get sum fkn PR41S3 over here?" Omega is distracted by the strange capsule he was given earlier. It looks empty, but he's certain there's something cool hidden inside.

0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
Omega follows closely behind, continuing to peck at the container while being careful not to trip in the process.
Kenneth
"AAA- I ok,,,!!" Kenneth goes to pat Habanero.
Shoop
"Wait, is that one of those balls with the funny worms inside?? I wanna see this one!" Shoop runs over and attempts to take the capsule and smash it on the ground.
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"b careful F00L we dont wnt 2 smash the prize nside"
Shoop rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +4. A 21 is rolled.

The capsule smashes on the ground, breaking apart! But nothing comes out.

Trick
"Is that it?"
Shoop
With one package opened, Shoop focuses on the painting of a capsule on the ground.
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"i cn better ngl. where r teh P4TT3RNS n shet? think ill b givin dis 1 bk" Omega looks at the cekeki with disappointment.
Emberspark
"Kree kree kree. Well that's a right little mess."
Emberspark
"Perhaps you can help shoop? He seems a little stuck on the floor. That thing looks like it could remove some spots, or other things."
Shoop
"Oh, there's another one!" Shoop attempts to take the painted capsule. Neuman chitters drily at his ownr's lack of depth perception.

"sure thing boss. hes a bit of a BL4NK SL4T3 but lets c wat dis bby can do..."
Omega tells the cekeki to try removing [Untouchable] from the drawn-on capsule. Perhaps that will make it more tangible...

The capsule manifests, pulling itself from out of the ground. It can now be touched!

Emberspark
Now that that part is being taken care of Ember walks up to the back door, looking around as she taps a claw to her mandibles.
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT

"Wow, that was really cool!" As far as Shoop is concerned, something magical just happned. Who knew the universe held such secrets? But that's not important right now. What's important is opening! That! Capsule! He grips both ends, and tries to pull it open.

Shoop rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +4. A 21 is rolled.

The capsule is popped open.

"Dmmmmmmmmmmmkikikikiekekekeke!"

Kenneth
"WHAT."
Emberspark
Ember quickly moves over to pull shoop back a bit as she seems worried for a second.
Shoop
Shoop is now calm, there's no more packages!
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"o hai dere. now thts mor liek it..."
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"is it just me or does dis thing feel... xtremely blessed sumhow? and not in th C00L way? call it G4M3RS 1NST1NCT but we should b careful."
Shoop
"Gosh, you look so funny!" Shoop pokes the cekeki gently, before looking around. What were they doing? Oh yeah, getting inside this tower.
Kenneth
"I'm just gonna go find something to open the door if that's okay..."
Kenneth rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1. An 18 is rolled.

Kenneth finds a lockpick! What is that doing out here?

Kenneth
"Oh sweet! This'll do it! Ms. Ember ma'am! I found a lockpick!!!"

"Oh, may I see that Kenneth?" Ember asks, holding out her hand.
Kenneth
"O-of course!" Kenneth hands over the lockpick.
Trick
"Oh, perfect. As a renowned escape artist, I'm pretty handy with those, y'know."
Emberspark
"Oh that's right! Here, actually you give it a try!" Ember says, offering the pick to Trick. "Kenneth did a great job finding it."
Trick
Trick flourishes way more than necessary, showing off the lock a little bit before going at it with the lockpicks. Stage people. You know how it is.
Trick rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +6. A 19 is rolled.

With ease trick opens the door! The inside of the building is still, a bit too still...... until a fairy buzzes past the crew. It appears he's in a rush, attempting to take inventory.

Trick
"Aaaaand click. Can do it with my eyes closed, in a sealed bag, in a locked chest, underwater."
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"id liek 2 c tht, care 4 a lil demo...?" Omega holds up his phone.
Kenneth
"You get locked in cramped containers too? Glad I'm not alone!"
Emberspark
Ember calms down, before clapping for Trick. "Alright, well then let's open the door and see the inside."
Bizz
"How in the blue hell is anyone supposed to do this shit at this size!"
Trick
"Well I don't have the materials on hand but if you look up some of my old tv speci- Oh! Bizz!"

Bizz
"34, 35, 36, 38, 39, ugh wait! UGH I have to count all over again!"
Kenneth
"I can help I'm good at doing things!...What are we counting?"
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"need sum help there lil guy?"
Bizz
Bizz glares at the crew. "The store isn't open yet!"
Bizz
".........................................."
Bizz
"Yeah, I could use a little bit of help here..."
Trick
"Y-yeah! It was open. Always happy to help a fellow professional!"
Shoop
"Oh, I love helping! What do you need help with?"

Shoop is suddenly overcome.....
This whole store is filled with PACKAGES.

Kenneth
"I don't mind helping with what- uh.. hey shoop... are you okay?"
Shoop
"Ooohhhh!!! Look at all the boxes Neuman!! Race to see who can look in them first!" Shoop and Neuman both immediately start racing through the packages and trying to open as many as possible.

Ember looks around, Before quickly grappling shoop as Berry praises her to do her best, sitting by and doing nothing else.

Shoop just barely slinks away from Ember!


Bizz
"Look, I'm having trouble counting inventory, we're supposed to open so- UGH? Oh, man. I'm an hour late to opening, Zoo man is gonna kill me!"
Bizz
"We're supposed to have other folks doing this job, but uh, tssssk, we're low on workers, high on consumers, let me put it like that."
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"wat happened to watshisname... the F4TS0 u were w/? thought u 2 were tite"
Trick
"Hey hey hey noooooooo that is not-" Trick goes to physically restrain Shoop.
Trick rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1. A 5 is rolled.

Shoop even manages to get away from Trick. Shoop opens a package!

Shoop rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +4. A 12 is rolled.

It's a cool, overly expensive pet collar!

Trick
"Do you have extra packing tape, Bizz?"
Trick
"This calls for desperate measures."
Kenneth
"Wow yeah that's neat!!! Hey Benzaiten, can you spritz Shoop to get 'em to stop?"
Shoop
Wow! I wonder whats in the next one!" Shoop opens another package, as does his tailmic.
Kenneth rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 10 is rolled.

Shoop is slapped with water! This will slow down Shoop!


Shoop rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +4. A 23 is rolled.

Shoop gets a whole glunk, right out the package!

0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"i no stealing is L3G4L here & all tht but can u mfin chill?"
Shoop
"Wow! It's a rock! Why is this in a store???"
Kenneth
"Hey that actually worked a little bit!"
Emberspark
"Bizz do you need stuff opened or inventoried? We can fix this real quick."
Bizz
Bizz is too busy being boggled at all of this. He has never had to work customer service before!
Emberspark
Ember rushes over to grab Shoop once more, pulling him into a big hug.
Kenneth
Kenneth is overwhelmed with how embarrassing this all is!!!

"hey shrimpy, can u make tht tailmic less 0BS3SS1V3 or smth?" Omega grumbles. Maybe his magic shrimp can do something about Neuman's attitude?
Emberspark rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +1. A 2 is rolled.

Ember strangles Shoop! Where did all this anger come from!

Shoop and the tailmic are no longer obessed over packages!


Trick
"Alright, Bizz, I know you're more of a top level guy, but that means you're a delegation king. We've got... at least three of us here that can help out, so what would you tell somebody else to do in these circumstances?"
Shoop
"Glk-!"
Bizz
"I'd tell them, if I come back in 10 minutes and this place is clean, then consider it like it didn't happen, baby!"
Bizz
-DING-

"But I don't think we have 10 minutes."

Emberspark
"Great job Ember." Ember takes a deep breath as she gently settles shoop down.
Zookeeper
"I say it's about time we let the customers in, then we can chitchat!"
Zookeeper
Zookeeper opens the door. Within seconds the holy interns and masterpieces flood in, grabbing everything they can. Their payment is absurd, most of it is in art, the rest comes in the form of flesh they rip from themselves.

Some of them are nearly ripped to shreds by their shopping, yet they still move as if nothing was wrong.

It takes no more than two minutes for them all to scatter out, no item is left standing.

"Lovely payments of mind and body today!"
Bizz
"Dude, those shoppers are freaks!"
Emberspark
"This is....quite familiar."
Trick
"I usually sell tickets for money but I mean, whatever keeps you in the black I guess."

"lolk didnt need 2 c dat. bizz wtf kinda production u runnin here?"
Bizz
"Wooooooah, Zoo maaaaaaaan, why did they uh....rip their bodies apart to pay?"
Zookeeper
"Ah, it's because they're having an artist block."
Zookeeper
"If you can't come up with a new art piece to pay the fee, it's just simple, we'll accept your form!"

"Uh well......"
Zookeeper
"Zapps gone!"
Zookeeper
"He said this was aaaaaaall too strange for him, so he left.
Bizz
"He didn't even quit!"
Zookeeper
"Well duuuuh, if he quits he doesn't get 10% of the profits. No one would be dumb enough to leave that behind."
Zookeeper
"I'm sure he's smoking the BLUE lettuce in an alleyway or something."

"Well I'm sure it's just fine, but this place is pretty big. That was all he said in the last thing to you?"

Shoop wakes up slowly, rather frazzled from the excitement of opening packages followed by being unable to breathe. Ember sure is a strong hugger! Hah, hah...
Shoop
...He messed up again, didn't he? He rejoins the rest of the group, a little more timid and less enthusiastic than before.

Ember looks down to shoop, crouching down beside him with a solemn look on her face.

"I'm sorry little shoop. Ember is here to keep you safe and instead she just ended up hurting her friends again. She doesn't always know her strength, and can't help herself."

"Oh um... thats okay. Thanks..." Shoop is uncertain of what to say to Ember. But in overhearing the conversation, he turns to Bizz, and says the first thing that occurs to him. "Shouldn't you just make whatever you want to make?"
Trick
"But who cares what they think? It's cool as hell and that's what matters."
Zookeeper
"But I just plugged myself in. I'm cozy."

Bizz
"Maybe, when this is all over, I can just sail on that, do my personal projects, you know?"
Zookeeper
"Or you'll buy a yacht you don't need and realize you need more! More!!!!"
Bizz
"Yachts are cool....."
Trick
"You are so unhelpful."
Zookeeper
"A mansion, with over 20 rooms!"
Bizz
"I could throw the sickest house parties!"
Shoop
"This seems complicated..." Shoop's knowledge of money is more-or-less limited to buying snacks. And that's not something he does, that's just something he sees other people do.
Zookeeper
"And then go into debt all over again."
Bizz
"Ok that part I don't like."
Zookeeper
"But it's what's going to happen."

"It's just in your nature."
Bizz
"Damn...."
Trick
"I mean if you follow the step by step plan your buddy here has laid out I guess that happens. Not really sure you have to."
Emberspark
Ember looks around for something to draw with.
Emberspark rolls a 20 sided die. A 17 is rolled.

Ember finds a pen!

Bizz
"I don't have to, and I don't want to."
Zookeeper
"And, I won't force him to."
Zookeeper
"I don't care what he does with his money."
Zookeeper
"I do not truly care about money."
Zookeeper
"I just want to sell and make goods."
Zookeeper
"Forever!"
Zookeeper
"What happens to you, is none of my concern."
Bizz
"Ha! You're funny, man."
Shoop
"Forever's a really long time, wouldnt that get boring?"
Zookeeper
"Forever is not long, it is only long to you!"

Ember quickly draws on the side of zookeepers head with her pen.

Zookeeper
Zookeeper stops, and starts to spin to see what's on his head.
Bizz
"Hey, don't do that to Zoo! Rude as shit!"
Bizz
Bizz goes to get a wet rag.
Zookeeper
Zookeeper goes dorment.
Trick
"C'mon."
Trick
"Dude's kind of a dingus but..."
Emberspark
"He's fine. I just thought if you wanted to speak with bizz a lack of interuptions would help."
Shoop
Shoop laughs. "Gosh, that's really funny! I did that once when I got a basket stuck on my tail!"
Bizz
"Speak with me about what? Zoo man ain't bad or nothing."
Trick
"I think he just underestimates you. Like his assumptions are fact. He's obviously done pretty good to get you here in the first place."
Shoop
"I just don't know what he was saying about a yacht or a mansion, I've never had any of those things and im happy. =) Most people never have any of those things."
Trick
"I really want to see what you can do, man. Always keep your numbers people an arm's length away from your personal shit, y'know."
Bizz
"YEAH AND BE WHAT? ALONE!?"
Bizz
"................Sorry."

Bizz starts cleaning off the artwork on Zookeeper.

Bizz
"You folks don't understand."
Bizz
"It's lonely at the top. Everyone wants a piece of you and not in a good way. Lots of people want to pretend they're into you, only to slap you down."
Bizz
"Finding an honest person, even one who's going to use you? That's hard."
Bizz
"That's why I like Zookeeper."
Zookeeper
"I never lie!"
Shoop
"I can be your friend! You seem cool and you said sorry after shouting which is nice!"
Zookeeper
"Note to be rude folks, but you haven't brought anything the whole time you've been here......"
Zookeeper
"I am currently 2 minutes away from asking you to leave."
Trick
"Right. Bizz, call me when you need me for some tallgoat production. And, uh, know anything about any beds available in the area? Heard a thing."

"I at least understand what it's like being at the top, needing to put on an act to keep everyone happy, and hiding your true nature. But some natures need to stay hidden. I'm just saying yours has a beauty to it I've seen. But as always."
Zookeeper
"We got beds! Free beds!"
Emberspark
"Kree kree kree I love watching peoples choices."
Zookeeper
"You will be filmed while sleeping though."
Trick
"Wouldn't be the first time."
Zookeeper
"Do you accept the terms and conditions?"
Shoop
"Oh, people tell me I'm really cute when im sleeping!"
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"T3RMS & C0ND1T10NS...? dnt liek th sound o that..."
Trick
"I mean I'll accept a single sentence EULA, yeah."
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"...beats sleeping in the D1RT i guess. ya sure."
Zookeeper
"Oh there's more too it!"
Zookeeper
"Bzztzzbzbbzzzzzzbzzzzz"

Zookeeper prints out a 20 page document.

Trick
Sigh. Trick starts looking for the important details.
Zookeeper
"Basically, we film you while you're sleeping, live, and we can sell that, mainly cause, duh it's a live show!"
Zookeeper
"Also there are rats inside of the room."
Bizz
"Two rats."
Zookeeper
"Bombats."
Emberspark
"Oh man that footage is gonna be fucked."
0M3G4_BL4KH4RT
"uhh"
Shoop
"Can I watch the video afterwards? I've never seen myself asleep before!"
Trick
"Hey this isn't infringing on my upcoming special: Explosive Room Of Terror, is it?"
Bizz
"Nope, came up with this idea myself."
Bizz
Bizz starts panicking, did he accidently steal someone's idea??????
Trick
"Look we'll just add it to the my people/your people thing for later. Seems pretty straightforward (if a bit overly wordy) to me."
Zookeeper
"I'd like you to meet our other actors!"

"Boroommmmmm!!"

"Franky!"

Zookeeper
"Yeah...I don't know why he says Franky either...."
Bizz
"Franky is special, don't you hurt him."
Emberspark
Embers just staring at the fuses.
Zookeeper
"Anyway, just sign here and here and the rooms are yours!"
Zookeeper
"I hope you have a peaceful night's sleep......."
"Don't let the bombats bite."
No one is typing.
