Majora's Mask: The Untold Story ((Official RP))

Hirvi's face let a smirk break through. "I will help you back no problem. Lets get going, shall we." Hirvi extended her hand to Ipsa.

Vina's dreams were... unpleasant. A malevolent chuckle could be heard everywhere, and just beneath it was the rattling of infinite bones. Images swam and dove through her nightmare, until a single one became clear.

A canyon, east of town. A cavern at the mouth of a river. And a single, strange voice, telling her that a way to free herself was there.

Before the dream ended, Vina thought she saw a flash of something... peculiar...

A pair of yellow, lidless eyes.

Ipsa let out a weak smile and took the offered arm and steadied herself on her feet. Her knees still wobbled, but the comfort of a willing aid helped calm her nerves and quiet her fire. "Y-yes, thank you. You're too kind."

Hirvi let loose a chuckle. "Not everyone would call me kind. Best get on the move." Hirvi took Ipsa's arm over her shoulder. "Are you ready?"

"Hold on," Ipsa reached back with her free arm and untied her apron, pressing it to her forehead. The white fabric started to turn red quickly. "O-Okay, I think I'm ready."

Chet paused and briefly looked back as he went to follow the others. He wished to stay longer in the fountain, but he knew it would be best for him to go. However, he was still unsure whether he wanted to continue his journey with the Zoras. They certainly were more than kind and his curiosity about them was not yet satisfied, but by the same token, his knowledge of the world in which he had found himself was lacking greatly in all aspects.

It would be best to decide tomorrow, he finally surmised. Then I can be sure of what it is that I must do.

Hirvi helped Ipsa move toward the shop. She made sure to keep her steps slower then her usual speed. "We will get you back to the shop. Then you can get all fixed up. With any luck we will make it there without any trouble."

"Yeah, we'll get there no trouble. That skullkid is probably long gone, probably out of Termina all together." She was obviously lying to both herself and the woman, but any words of optimism were a welcome as her vision was beginning to blur.

On the bottom deck of the potion shop, Koume was washing mixing bowls. "That girl... Bringing in travelers, the company is nice, but it would have been better if there was actual payment." She sighed, taking another bowl and dunking it in the pool. She looked to the moon for a second, and frowned at how odd it was looking tonight. Then looked towards the entrance to woods, wondering what had made the critters suddenly go silent.

Hirvi and Ipsa continued ontoward the shop, Hirvi hoping nothing would ahppen to soon. As they neared the shop and it came into sight Hirvi let out a call. "Need a bit off help here! Had a bit of trouble with a strange fellow and now we have wounded!" Hirvi looked at Ipsa and let another smirk grace her face. "We are almost there now. Almost there, and then you will be fine." Hirvi looked about the area, scanning for the skullkid when she spotted Koume. "Help please, help."

Caro scuttled behind Hirvi and Ipsa, her eyes searching for the Skullkid.
"I have a bad feeling," she mumbled. "A very bad feeling." She looked back in the main direction of the swamp, a troubled look on her face, before averting her gaze to the injured Ipsa. Seeming reluctant, she scuttled towards Ipsa, working herself under Ipsa's free arm to allow her weight to rest upon Caro's head.

Coming out of the cavern the last edges of varying shades of Twilight were starting to settle into night. Time always did seem to slow within the the cavern of the Great Fairy. Looking around a bit Javen spotted Sakon, the thief, now hiding behind the playground.

"Hrmmm... No worries. This way. There are other ways to the inn then across the way."

Javen led them down the earthen ramp and to the archway back the way they had come, towards the clock tower. As they made their way near the tree Javen noticed a young little boy with a small reed who was trying to shoot seeds at a red balloon, underneath wich hung the fool from the swamp. He didn't groan in agony, quite the opposite. The little boys lungs were far from strong enough to pop or even reach the balloon so the fool would wiggle and groan and, in one case, wailed as he kept getting hit with seeds. Javen smiled as he passed through the archway, back into central clock town.

As the Zora trio (and their Rito companion) walk away, a young indigo-haired boy enters the northern part of town from the other direction.

Kafei didn't know what had happened to him or why, but he was betting that the Great Fairy who lived here would be able to help.

Self-absorbed in his mission, he doesn't see Sakon approaching until it's too late.

Mako followed briskly, smiling now that he had his strength back. The worst position to be in, he'd always been taught, is one of vulnerability. He felt much better about traveling with companions now that he could carry his own weight.

The witch looked up to see the figures exiting the woods. "Oh my, another traveler-?" Then the three walked out from under the shade of a tree and into the moonlight. She dropped her mixing bowl. "What on earth?" Suddenly she was on her broom racing at full speed towards them. Ipsa could only look at the ground, in total fear of the possibilities of what her mistresses would say. But Koume just took the balled up red apron away from her face, inspecting the wound, scowling. She turned to the other two. "If either of you were the cause of this, so help me..." She turned back to Ipsa. "You need to get inside, now. Come." The witch took the Ipsa's arm and put it around her shoulder. "Both of you, follow, I need to hear this story first hand."

Hirvi smirked yet again, thinking how amazing the witch was compared the people who raised her. "I guess it is story time then. Shall we head in." Hirvi glanced over toward Caro. She then headed toward the entrance of the shop.

Vepo followed Javen with a moment of confidence about his face. As they continued and Vepo saw people about his confidence shrank. Slowly he looked toward the ground. He quickly spend up to Javen, hoping nothing would go wrong.

Koume raised an eyebrow at the smirk of the woman. "Yes, indeed." She put two fingers to her lips and whistled for her broomstick, settling Ipsa onto it. "We'll meet you two inside." As the broom began to lift into the air, the witch began to notice her apprentice slouch over, she cuffed the girl making her flinch. "Don't you dare fall asleep." Ipsa cringed, but nodded in obedience to her mistress. As they reached the top, the witch turned towards the others to give one last "On the double!" before entering with Ipsa.

A loud shriek pierced the night "Koume! What the devil did you do to the girl?!"

"I did nothing you old fool!"

"Don't you old fool me!"

This, of course, led to a loud squabble that continued as they began bandaging the girl's head. Thankfully it stopped when the others entered.

(sorry for being so long, emotional issues around the home...) Koria groned as she leaned out the window into the clock town streets, "Vina, where will we be heading to day no-- oh! I picked you up something last night, " the lizard rummaged through her bag pulling out the green potion and the flute. " Here, I picked you up some of your meds as well as something to cheer yourself up with. Also don't be to frightened of our guest, she's from the lost woods, however I already asked her, she does not know much of the stafols curse, she says even kokori who enter it's depths are cursed."

(I just figured I'd wait until everyone else was done with their evenings. But, if dawn approaches...)

Vina woke up... to the sight of a child sleeping next to her. Mild disorientation follows her for a brief period, but she quickly remembers where she is.

Especially when she hears Koria's claws making their distinct sound across the floor...

Yawning, muttering thanks, and nodding in turn to things that she's not really listening to, Vina slowly proceeds to get dressed in a clean set of clothing.

Caro nodded, following close behind. "Bratty little imp in a mask," she muttered. She wasn't taking the blame for anything, she thought. Stupid imp...
"He was wearing a mask," she mumbled. "Looked like some sort of demon or something. But he wasn't so tough.. well, not really.. He ran away." Jumbled rambling from a jumbled scrub.

(hehehe I'm pretty sure anju even says the inn is too small at the begining of the game :3) * Koria sat on the bed it tilting to one side with a loud:"Klunk!" causing the people next door to bang on the wall. She began rummaging through her pack pulling out the armor plate by plate putting it on to see how it worked and fit, to her surprise there were only a few parts that would have to be replaced or modified for her body, all of which she could easily do herself. She patiently sat in the corner of the room on her bed, heating the metal with her breath molding it into shape.

(I'm going as fast as I can to catch up to everyone else's "tomorrow" already so I apologize if I post after one or two post without waiting for everyone. D:)

The four make their way back into Clock Town proper, with only a little more time to marvel at the overwhelming structure that is the clock tower. Javen lead the group down the ramp and to an arch near a postbox.

Through the arch they appear in east clock town. To their immediate left, under the straw canopy, was a building and a sign "Stock Pot Inn." To their right, even in the evening a large pot at the top of a pole was burning with flame and heald fast with several strings of small celebration flags. This small flame gave light to a wide and spacious courtyard and several dimly lit but curious buildings. Each building decorated with outlandish designed, each more outrageous than the last.

"Stock Pot Inn," he said as he held out his hand to the left "Games and fun," his right hand waving over the open courtyard. "Now..." he said walking to the Inn's door. opening it and making Anju gasp as she stood there.

"Oh I'm sorry Anju. I didn't mean to frighten you. I have some guests and was hoping to get here before you closed. may we take a room?"

Anju looked at the three and bowed softly.

"Please... Hurry inside. We'll get you a room."

Mako nodded politely to Anju as he followed Javen inside. "Thank you." He stepped into the warm in, rolling his neck. "It will be good to sleep safely this night."

"Now, take a note as you try this out." Stated Kotake as she handed Ipsa a red potion. "Note how the ingredients are blended, how even it makes the flavor taste like something other than swamp water. Don't give me that look girl." Ipsa jumped a bit, silently cursing out the witch in her mind for being able to spot a scowl underneath the bandages that covered half her vision. Koume paced back and forth on the other side of the shop, trying to piece the story together.

"A skullkid in a mask wanting a witch's gem? It makes no sense, usually they tend to stay away from something that can harm them. Their prey is children..."

Caro shrugged. The whole situation was strange to her. Slowly she backed away, assuming the witches would take decent care of Ipsa.
She quietly exited the potions shop and turned back towards the swamp. Something wasn't right. She had to go home.
As she returned to the main swamp, Caro caught a strange scent in the air. What was that? Crouching down at the dock, she touched the water with her open palm. Quickly she retracted her hand. It burned! Not a normal sort of heat either. Upon closer inspection she realized that the water had a slight purple hue to it. What in the world..?
A slow panic came over her, and she fled back to the palace. Caro cursed all the way. Was that stupid imp the cause of all this?
