[The rains started early and came violently. The rivers swelled; Lake Hylia rose to fill its valley. And still the waters poured from the heavens, unstoppable, relentless, as if intent on flooding all of Hyrule...]
[...upon waking, you may notice that you're not in your bed. You're not in a bed at all, in fact. Where you are is sprawled out on the deck of a brightly-colored boat, rocking gently with the waves. The sun is warm, the salty breeze is nice, and it's actually rather pleasant.]
[Until a voice breaks through your hazy, sleep-clogged brain.]
You can't spend all day laying about. Get up!
[When you do crack open an eye, you might be shocked to see a wooden face peering down at you. You might be even more shocked to find that the voice issued from this face -- and that the face itself is the figurehead of the boat on which you've somehow appeared.]
[At your incredulous staring, the boat's figurehead seems to wilt just a little.]
There's not anyone in there, you know.
[ooc: This is a mingling post! Through the magic of BecauseTheModsSaidSo, Hyrule has flooded and the King of Red Lions has somehow grown to the size of a party boat, with plenty of room for all of Hyrule's residents. Feel free to talk and tag amongst yourselves: mingle, swim, fish, enjoy your cruise of Hyrule, do anything that can be done
on a boat1 -- but please, keep it PG-13. Occasionally, the King might pop in to your threads with his particular brand of wisdom. Questions can be brought
here.]
