you can do a lot of things ON A BOAT

[on_a_boat]

[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

Oh! Excuse me, Mr. Boat. I didn't mean to be rude.

[Little Zelda gives the figurehead a friendly pat on the head and begins exploring the vessel. This looks like fun!]

(ooc: ASDFKJDTGAH THE LAYOUT OF THE DR IS MAGNIFICENT.)

[heirtoclocktown]

[Kafei shoves past her without an apology as he runs for the rails.]

[...And gets sick over the side.]

[Hyrule sucks.]

[xnoswordx]

[Zelda is initially very cross at being shoved, but when she realizes the culprit is so very ill, she relents. Clearly he wasn't intentionally being rude. Right?]

Oh! Hey...um, sir? Do you need me to get someone to help you?

[heirtoclocktown]

[Sorry, Zelda. Kafei is too busy being sick to pay any attention to you, much less answer your question. Even after he finishes, he remains leaning over the side like a towel draped across the rail. He even lets off a low moan of displeasure.]

[Life sucks.]

[missingoutset]

[Guess who's on a dolphin, doing flips and shit?

Actually, no. Link's standing at the bow of the boat, close to the King. He's fiddling with some sort of new equipment he found this morning... he's not sure what it is. It looks like something Captain Falcon would wear.

It's making everything darker...! e_e]

(ooc: I can honestly tell you, I nearly screamed when I saw the new layout, and not in an excited way. XD)

[missingoutset]

[Link lowers the sunglasses to stare at the Wallmaster, suspicious.

...Are those drinks poisoned?]

[dancingseasons]

[Not really enough open space that Din feels comfortable dancing much, but this IS entirely delightful. She wanders along the deck for a bit, examining the boat, and then stretches out on a chair. Time for some sunbathing.]

Who says I can't spend all day laying about? [She laughs.]

[heirtoclocktown]

[Kafei hates this boat, and he hates the ocean, and he's come up onto the deck because he's feeling seasick. His life sucks. But then... ... ... My what a view. <3 Maybe things aren't all bad. He leans back on the railing next to where Din is stretched out, looking relaxed despite his queasiness.]

What a pleasant surprise to find you here as well.

[dancingseasons]

[The lounging Oracle opens one crimson eye and peers up at him, smiling lightly.]

Kafei, how nice to see you. But if you don't mind my saying so...you don't look so well.

[heirtoclocktown]

[He feels even sicker at the reminder, but he does good job at masking it, he thinks. He stares at the horizon in the distance, because someone on the ship had told him that this would help. It doesn't help, and the view isn't nearly as lovely. It chances a glance down to look at Din while he speaks.]

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, yes. But you look stunning.

[fishybassist]

[On the boat? NO WAY! Not when there's miles and miles and MILES of glorious blue!!!]

[You might see Japas body-surfing, or climbing onto the boat and swan-diving off, or just floating in the waves.]

[Ahhhhhhh. Life is sweet.]

[doublehelixhero]

[No way, man. Is that really?

[It doesn't take long at all before Link has one of the masks on and is diving down into the water, swimming towards the familiar figure.]

Yo, Japas! Where've you been?

DO WANT.

[fishybassist]

[Japas does a huge double-take, and nearly sinks in the process before he flounders to the surface, grinning.]

Wa-hohohoah! Mikau, my man!

[Japas swims over close and throws an arm out for half of a high-five kind of greeting.]

I could ask you the same, bra! D'you know we're in Hyrule, dude? DUDE!

<3

[doublehelixhero]

[Mikau throws out his arm for his half of that greeting, grinning broadly.]

Yeah, I've heard. Nothin' like the Bay at all. Well, it didn't used to be. All this water is somethin' new...

[He shakes his head. No, he's not going to worry about that; this place is crazy.]

Man, it's good to see you. How you been?

[heirtoclocktown]

[Kafei is hiding in the depths of the boat, stalking through the hallways and muttering to himself]

Why must every inanimate object TALK around here?

[Then he stops, his eyes drawn by flashing lights and colors. He steps into the next room. Is that... a casino? Oh HELL yes. Kafei grins and slides onto a stool at the nearest poker table.]

Deal me in.

<--the "dealer", in case there's any question

[ashei_yeah]

[Ho hum. Another day, another reason to suspect this "alternate Hyrule" is really just her mind's way of telling her she's finally gone off the deep end, yeah? (And how appropriate that the "deep end", in this case, is boundless ocean. Maybe a shark will be nice enough to come along and put her out her misery?) A giant, talking boat. Wow. But hey, at least there's gambling to stave off the motion sickness! May bas well don the handy-dandy dealer's cap and play along, since she doubts any of the princesses and heroes around here have enough vice in them to gamble properly. SOMEBODY'LL have to teach them!]

[She's currently scraping the rust off her Boomerang Shuffle when the request comes in. Hmm. Not bad.]

"Anyone else playing? Or maybe Blackjack's more your speed, yeah?"

[OOC: Yeeeeah... TRYING to get this muse to be a tad more vocal. Sorry she's such a pill! I'm hoping Kafei's a tough enough cookie to not be intimidated. Oh, and since most card games require at least 4 people, this might be a good thread to open up to others.

[heirtoclocktown]

[This girl doesn't look exactly reputable as a dealer. But, well, they're on a talking boat, for the gods' sake. So Kafei will take what he can get. ....Especially since, upon looking around, this place is rather empty.]

Blackjack is fine. I'm hoping the house can lend me the minimum? ...What are we wagering, anyway? Tell me it's not seashells.

[ooc: No problem! I'm sure Ashei and Kafei can handle each other. XD I'd definitely love to get a real hand going, if we can drag in some more people!]

[ashei_yeah]

"Tch! Seashells? Have to start by finding some land for those seashells to be on, yeah? You looked out the boat, lately?"

[Miles and miles of deep blue nothing. Just thinking about it makes Ashei slightly queasy, so she distracts herself by cascading the cards from one hand to the next, butterfly-cutting the deck, then fanning them face-down on the table. Motion-sickness temporarily averted, she removes a card and sets it before him, face-up. The remaining cards get swept back into a proper, neat pile. She leans back and taps her finger on the green felt.]

"So, deal? First game's on the house... since I have NO idea where the chips are kept here, yeah?" [Maybe she can use those odd, flat cookies by the buffet table as a substitute?]

[OOC: Er, I seem to be made of fail, lately, because I JUST now realized I didn't write in an appropriate cue for poor Kafei to respond to, so there we go. Please to be forgiving the suckitude -_-]
