December Test Drive!

Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.

Directions:

Post with your character with their name and canon on top!

Choose a location and prompt or wait for someone else to tag.

If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.

Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.

Locations:

1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.

2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?

3. The Beach: You can almost forget you're trapped, in a place like this...

4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.

5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.

6. The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.

7. The Forest: Not a great place to be caught alone, but are you alone?

8. Wildcard: Pick anything from our list!

Scenarios

1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.

2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.

3. Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?

4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

2. [The cathedral is of the few structures that is familiar to Ganondorf in form. Like the Temple of Time, it rises tall with its minarets; like the Temple of Time, its windows are few but vast; like the Temple of Time, it is a sombre building that commands quiet and gravity.

Unlike the Temple of Time, however, it is filled with row upon row of wooden benches, seating for the common people, perhaps...? But why? When? Honestly, Ganondorf is a little confused, so there is a 7'6" man in leather armour wandering amongst the pews.]

7. [He had been warned away from the forest early on, on account of its dangers. As far as Ganondorf was concerned, however, the forest was less aggravating and less tedious and less off-putting than the city proper. Maybe it was the Hylian style of the buildings. Maybe it was the constant barrage of incomprehensible technology and terminology. Maybe it was just the people.

Maybe it's all of the above.

Ganondorf isn't afraid of what he doesn't understand, but he's capable of being frustrated by it. And having it shoved in his face constantly is not just irritating--it eventually becomes tiring.

And so Ganondorf has begun to build himself a more permanent camp, felling trees and clearing ground.

The monsters here will learn to fear him. He has fought monsters before.

He will destroy these as he has destroyed the others.]

*Speaking of monsters, there's one, roughly twelve feet tall, lurking in a tree at the edge of the new clearing.*

Huh...

[Twelve-foot monsters are hard to miss, even when you're busy with something else, like chopping wood. So far it hadn't attacked him, however; it was only watching, lurking in the trees like a lizalfos waiting to strike.

It wasn't often Ganondorf was faced with anything larger than himself. And it was even rarer that to find something so much bigger than him. The fight could be interesting... assuming it got the courage to attack him.

If not....

Well, less trouble for him, then.]

*There's no fear in his glowing eyes though. Just curiosity as he watches. Finally, he decides to approach, dropping down from the tree to a three point landing before standing up.*

Don't think I've ever seen someone bothering to clear land before.

Hanna hadn't had all those new consoles growing up, and even now when he was an adult, he still stuck true to his Nintendo 64. It was his baby, and even though Smash bros and Mario Kart were his playing ground, that definitely did not mean he hadn't picked up a Zelda or two along the way. They were great, he loved the story, and the puzzles were fun, even if the water temple was like, the worst thing in existence.

But, stepping into the Cathedral because it's a little weird to see the door slightly ajar, he has to pause. And unlike most video game characters who he tended to freak out about, in a positive way, because how cool was that, he just stops, mouth wide open. Because man, no. He did not just walk in on the fucking evil gerudo king with the triforce of power, all on his lonesome. Right? That wasn't a thing he just did?

"Fucking really? REALLY?" He had shit luck. He swears somewhere someone from above was like, pissing themselves laughing.

In the resonant silence of the Cathedral's open spaces... Hanna's voice definitely carried.

Ganondorf's head turned, and even without context, the difference in size between them was more than enough to make his intimidating stare even more imposing. Sadly, Hanna, it is absolutely a thing you just did.

And then you swore at him.

...he's still staring.

Hanna shrinks against the door, swallowing. Well, he probably could have kept that to himself. Probably. Maybe he could have avoided the whole confrontation in general if he had kept his giant, idiot mouth shut. "Uh. Sorry, I just. Eheh...prefer to pray alone. Yanno? Empty church, then I don't have to share what ever kind of god is up there."

Because that's definitely how praying worked. "You got anything on your heavenly wishlist? I've been just devotedly worshiping to get my 'perfect sense of timing' badge."

.......

God? Not Goddess? Or gods?

"If I'm in your way...." Ganondorf turned fully to face Hanna, his posture erect but relaxed. He did notice that the man was shrinking into the doorframe. It was kind of hard to miss, actually. He knew he tended to have an effect on people, but this was a little extreme. It would have been comical if it wasn't so disconcerting and pathetic. He paused, listening while Hanna finished.

"....then it seems you still have some praying to do."

He'd offer to leave, but he wasn't done here yet. And he wasn't interested in vacating the building for a rambling twit.

As a newcomer, this man would just have to wait.

Thinking back, Hanna can totally see how that is exactly what he said, just worded differently. Shit. "Naw, naw. It was-" Not a joke because that would totally mean the swearing when he came in meant something else. "Well kind of. Just, you don't have to leave, that'd be rude if I expected you to." God, he was stuck in a stupid trap of words while stuck in a gaze from an evil berserker wizard. There was no winning here, only losing horribly.

Maybe if he pulled out his watch he'd have time to text something kind of meaningful to the network before dying if this turned south...

"Yeah, loads of it. While devoted, no one ever said my worshiping sounded any good." he laughs nervously, "You'd think they'd want to hear less if you sound awful, but. I suppose not."

Well. Ganondorf and Hanna were in agreement on one thing. Regardless of the gods' opinion, Ganondorf at least would rather be hearing less of the man.

"I wasn't planning on it." He felt no obligation to spare Hanna's feelings, but at least Hanna could rest assured that the giant Gerudo was being honest with him. Small comfort, perhaps, but Ganondorf wasn't generally a comforting figure. Especially not to anyone outside of the Gerudo.

It came with the job, so to speak.

While he was here, though--he might as well get some answers to his questions.

"Indulge my curiosity a moment... who are you praying to exactly?"

He swallows, taking that extra moment to consider who exactly he was praying to. He's not exactly the religious type. "Uh, the powers that be? I don't really have a name for them, or him. Or her. Which ever. I mean, I could probably pick one, but I don't think that'd help my cause very much."

He shrugs awkwardly, trying to relax a little since he was starting to think maybe if he kept him talking he wouldn't be murdered horribly. Helpful is much better than dead, he's sure. "Uh, anything else you'd like to know? I mean, you're probably new around here, right?"

[Others didn't exactly seem eager to interact with Kirei Kotomine--for reasons that weren't entirely clear--but that was fine. He was an individual that would sooner keep to himself, so the fact that others made doing so easily proved no problem. Few people came to the cathedral on a daily or regular basis, so that as well as Kirei's own position as a priest made it the most natural place for him to end up on most days.]

[This particular day, however, he walked inside and very nearly did a double-take. In the low lighting he'd very nearly mistook Ganondorf for someone else entirely. A half-second's observation confirmed that no, this was not in fact Rider, but how many people were that absurdly tall to begin with?]

...

['Awkward silence' being Kirei's native language, it seemed to be taking the priest a moment to determine just how to react to this unexpected development.]

[Priests were not so much a thing in Hyrule. There were temples, of course, and the goddesses, but there was no real need for an intermediary connecting the mortal to the divine.

Which is perhaps why, when Ganondorf eventually noticed Kirei, he regarded the priest's clothing as more 'peculiar' than anything. Ganondorf got the feeling the man was waiting for something. Sober garb, sober expression...

Well, he wasn't going to just stand here while this man hovered in the background.]

... can I help you?

Edited (Icon goof.) 2014-12-02 19:07 (UTC)

[...Right, he kind of needed to say something instead of just stare. Troublesome, but it couldn't be helped since he'd walked directly into an unexpected situation.]

I momentarily mistook you for someone, that's all. Forgive me, I didn't expect anyone else to be here.

[Good lord, where was Tokiomi or Risei to do all the talking when one needed them?]

[Mistook him for....?

Ganondorf had more or less accepted the bizarre diversity of this ridiculous 'city,' but somehow the idea of being mistaken for someone else was absurd enough that it took him a moment to digest it.

Even when the idea had settled in, he couldn't help but admit his curiosity.]

....and who might that be?

No one of consequence. [Not here, at least. Rider was kind of a big problem back in Fuyuki, but there wasn't much to be done about that now.]

I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.

As per his normal Wednesday afternoon routine, Veser is trying his hardest, and failing, to lob rocks through the higher of the Cathedral's beautiful stained glass. One look can tell anyone how completely unsuccessful he's actually been, but that's totally not the point.

Several manage to hit the walls, the door, the flourishes, etc, but none hit a single window.

"Fucking bullshit!", he curses loudly to the sky. He drops his pack, the pilfered beer and rocks clanking together loudly.

In which Ganondorf fails to account for the possibility of talking

Well, to be fair, he doesn't exactly look like something that's big on conversation...

Part of me feels like I should apologize for this...

Never apologise. This is beautiful.

I would murder a man for halfway decent icons I stg

Fan art saves me when it's hard to get actual canon stuff.

2; i'm so sorry for this, i really couldn't resist

Oh my gods, no, I love Fate and Kirei is my favourite.

WELL THEN we're gonna get along just fine, clearly

Heck yes. (Standard apology for his incredibly limited icons.)

most of mine are some degree of deadpan so we're cool

2!
