[IC] Return to the Multiverse

[Professor_Wyvern]

"Ain't goin' fast at all Slicker. Just goin' at a fair pace." He said as he glanced back to Cheshire. "You'll catch up." Turning to face Ajax he chuckled. "Yeah, heard somethin' like that. Come on Pardner, we are goin' Bombchu Bowlin'. Should be fun." He said with a nod to the man. "No decent Saloon in this place, guess it'd have to be pretty entertainan."

"Slick, ya ain't heard of stealth have ya? Or a distraction?" He turned his head back to glance at Rawk. "Ya don't need permission to do anything." Rattlesnake Jack glanced up before returning his head back to glance forward, "If'n anyone spots the Local Sheriff, leave 'im to me." He stated out-loud.

[Cheshire]

Well, Cheshire remembered why sports weren't a thing that she really did a whole lot of. Though the horrible tightness in the chest that tended to happen if she tried to run too far, it was still deeply unpleasant. Because, you know, it was running.

What was she doing, anyway? Joining up with some random strangers? Why? Because there was nothing better to do? Though she didn't stop running, it did strike her that it was a very weak reason for doing... Well, anything, really.

And that cowboy dude... What was his deal, anyway? He seemed kinda decent, she guessed, but what was with that 'slicker' nonsense? Thinking about it, what was the deal with everybody? They seemed kind of... Odd, at least from what she'd seen. Not that anything could really be considered 'normal' here.

Well, perhaps she was overthinking this. For now, all she had to do was catch up. She could ponder later.

[Kalamadea]

As Bee had hoped, it became obvious they were in the past as soon as he stepped into Castle Town. Before that, actually, as the drawbridge was completely intact. The town bustled with activity, but his memory proved to serve correctly again. If he stepped into a door to his right, a room with a bunch of pots sitting on the floor would be found. If he failed to notice this door, however, there were some plants he could smash up and hope rupees drop from in the central plaza. The bowling alley was exactly where he remembered it being, as was the Bazaar, the Happy Mask Shop, and the Temple of Time itself. The Temple stood out starkly among the mostly-short buildings with its tall spires, easily the most noticeable thing in the entire town. The strangest thing, however, is that while they saw themselves sticking out like sore thumbs, nobody paid them any notice, as if, in their eyes, they saw the avatars in the same style they were in.

Samus, however, figured the others were onto something with Death Mountain. They walked up the stairs, little more than an inclined plane with gray stripes over it that hardly even said "stairs", and found themselves in Kakariko Village. It was a tiny settlement, with only a dozen or so structures in total, but it was much quieter than the place Bee and Jack were in. There were more stairs leading up to mountainous terrain to their left, and a small passageway was just barely visible to their right, through the spaces between several buildings. Samus had her suit do a quick scan of the village, and she got a three dimensional view of the entire area. "There's a graveyard entrance almost directly to the southeast, and the mountain is up those stairs, in case any of you didn't notice." Her helmet was long since back on, and she had no remarks on the look of the place. She was accustomed to worlds not looking real at this point.

[Zero Hex]

Ajax adjusted his rag and walked along, shrugging at the mention of bowling and sheriffs. "Fine by me on both points, cowboy". He could hardly think of anything better to do, partly because he wasn't at all familiar with the game and partly because it was in his nature to do the opposite of what he was told, at least at first. Sure, he had no intention of sticking around in Zeldaland forever but he didn't feel like being an overgrown lizard's errand boy either. As for sheriffs, well, he wasn't big on law enforcement either. Fishing around his vest's pockets, which felt much bigger than they did last time, he found his cigarette case and pulled one out with his teeth.

No one seemed to pay him, or any of them, no mind for some reason. "The place gives me the creeps, kinda", he said as he lit the smoke. "D'you think they're all like videogame characters, no lives or minds of their own besides a preset routine and pre-recorded lines?". Then, he got the idea. "Well, if they are, they shouldn't mind this, right? Money's always nice to have and even I know that you get it by breaking shit here" he said as he walked up to the plants in the central plaza and punted one of them. If no one came to stop him he'd keep doing that to get some rupees, if someone did mind, well, that was a question answered and he'd deal with it if it happened.

[Sutternalt]

"Well," the N1-L3 transmitted via radio, "We're after a mysterious stone, presumably not natural to this world. Perhaps the forces in this world are familiar with it, or at least, you know, might know where to go looking for it. We ought to ask whatever passes for a government official, army general, or enterprising businessman about it. And any such person worth their salt will undoubtedly be curious about a strange, 105-meter rocket sitting right on their doorstep. I vote we wait." Computers clicked in the background as the rocket thought. "And, uh, I don't want to incinerate anyone standing nearby if we need to leave in a hurry."

[Charlie]

Following Samus, "There are alot of spots to check, in Hyrule. We could just systematically go through every temple, The deku tree, dadongo cavern, and jabu stomach if he's still alive." He explains, Oreo following him close. "I don't believe splitting up was the best idea, but once we find the thing, we can find the others." he looks at the stairs, "huh, weird..."

[TalijaKey]

She turned her head at her company just in the moment he pressed the button. "Does this get me food?"
Key shock her head, the warning and staring at the blinking alarms before they turned off. Luckily it appeared things didnt went to super bad thanks to random button pushing.

As the rocket wondering about eating and drinking she close her eyes. She felt what her body needed....Nothing. No food, no air, no water. She would love to be in earth, but she could be whit out it for a few days, before feeling weak. She opened her eyes several moments later. Not sharing what she became aware off.
She found the other showing off their weapons a bit stupid.... if it was that someone took them here...than..if she would be doing it she would be putting her self in the group and pretend to be just as lost like them. Observe them and than somehow depending on her own goals manipulating whit them.
Key sighed mistrusting a bit. N1-L3 was right treating this as reality, until proven otherwise. And one of this things around people with great power is not to instantly into trusting all them.She spaced out for a few moments but when Link and his friend....she forgot the name came in she waved at them grinning.
She concluded that going with the flow will be fun as long as she is aware this could be a bad trap set up. ''Isnt it great? We dont get to be inside a rocket every day!''

She heard a declaration of some one explaining things, or at least sounding like she knew whats was up. Moving up to one of the small windows to peek out, seeing Samus. ''Cool.'' She listened to the explanation carefully, the dragon was a nice add on considering all the things that came up to this point.

---

She woke up inside the rocket. She could see the kitten man munching onto some of the ration. The music was nice for her. But she didnt recognized it, as she never played zelda, just watched the lp of one or two games......Well a bunch of game theory did filled her in her zelda knowledge.

She sat up and stretched as if she had a good nap. ''Hey, N1 do you happen to have a exploring probe or some robo unit that you can dispatch for checking things out?, it would surely help with mobility. '' She walked out the hatch and jumped out falling down like a stone but landing on her feet.

''Ahhh~''She hummed happily as her feet touched earth. Even a bad 3D world earth was still earth. She resisted to swim into it, she didnt want to fall out or glitch out ..... just in case and the other reason was she didnt want to show this yet. Watching as twp grups went on their way. She herself not completely sure which one to follow.
''I can beat this is just something like the first world....you know multi was mentioned. We should staff in you lot of food health potion and anything from use, if we do go to the next to be better prepared and such... Hey Adorabloodthirsty kitten wan to go to the town and buy supplies and food? '' She grinned asking as she was leaning onto the rocket.

[Kafka Komedy]

Kafka hopped out of Rocket Man and landed next to Cute Elf Gal. "Yeah, I wouldn't want you to just have to sit here while we go grab supplies." Kafka said, patting the rocket affectionately. "Besides, I couldn't talk to royalty, but you seem to speak a lot better than I do. And you ramble less. Also, there's the fact we'd need to carry all the stuff back to you... Please come with me and Cute Elf Girl!" Kafka begged, hugging the rocket as well as he could. He had already made a deep connection with the both of them, as stupid as that seemed. Besides, they gave him food, he was in their debt. He knew CEG could handle herself in a fight by chucking rocks at the enemies, but what could Rocket Man do? He had to protect him at costs!
"But yeah, I would like to grab some supplies at town, Cute Elf Gal."

[Psyga315]

"Right... Spiritual Journey. Got it." Psyga smiled a bit at Jake's comment. It made him think of this being less of... wherever the hell he is, and more of a summer vacation... That he's spending with Ruby... And Jake... And Link... And a rocket ship. His smile grew and grew.

"Alright, you're on!" Tear told Jake as he talked about what a real sniper rifle would be.

Suddenly, the world shifted.

---

"Wait, we're on the internet? WE DIGIMON NOW!" Psyga said. Tear was more shocked that they were talking to Samus... Until Kal took over. They were given the command that they were looking for a gray stone.

Suddenly, field. Psyga's ears perked. "MARIO!" There was a very sad problem with Psyga. He doesn't play Zelda. At all. Not even this iconic game. It wasn't until the one minute and twenty second mark that he recognized it. "Oh. Zelda. ... I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos." He said.

Tear knew exactly where she was. She went off to the direction of the castle. Psyga followed Jake.

[IncredibleBee]

"Huh? Oh, this place doesn't really have a police force." Bee said, walking into a side room.
"Nobody gets onto you for stuff in this game. Though, it's not like there's much worth stealing." He drew his sword, sheathed, and bashed several urns, collecting the green gems that fell out.
He gave a sigh, remembering the monotony, and exited the room, then turned back around inside so the pots could reset.
"Anyways, like three or four times of doing this and we'll have enough for a round of bombchu bowling."

[Professor_Wyvern]

"No police force at all?" Rattlesnake Jack said taken aback. "That's... this place sounds dull." Rattlesnake Jack said, incredibly disappointed, with this added onto the other tidbits he learned of this place. "Bombchu Bowlin' ougtha be fun I guess, if it is the only entertainment available." Drawing out his twin guns he fired upon some urns, and collected the broken urn pieces. "Debris, nah, ain't right color fer the magical debris." He said as he tossed it aside, and collected a few gems that dropped from them. He returned his guns back to the holsters, "Strange currency this place has."

[rawkhawk64]

Rawk noted that Samus had joined them. "The Graveyard might have a few interesting sights, but we'd have to move the tombstones. Dampé doesn't seem to mind so much, but we don't wanna mess with him." Rawk said. He knew they were in the past, as some of the buildings were incomplete, and the workers were running around back and forth. "Okay... so it's exactly like we're in the game. I'll be the NPC's say the same things too, even..." Rawk said. Link looked at Death Mountain. "My bet is the rock'll probably be up there. If the Gorons don't have it, it might be in Death Mountain or the Fire Temple. The issue will be getting to the Fire Temple. I have a Goron tunic, and this robot thing here looks heatproof, but what about you?" Link asked. Rawk shrugged. "Mental power. Mind over matter. My mental abilities seem to have increased. I've not figured out the limits of my abilities, but I'm sure simply making it to the Fire Temple won't be difficult, if needed. I say we check with the Gorons first." Rawk said, picking up a pot nearby and smashing it into a building, narrowly missing a Cucco. "Okay, note to self: Check for Cucco's first." Rawk said. He knew the terror of the Cuccos... and he didn't wanna go through it personally.

[Zero Hex]

"Guess this does work like the games huh" Ajax grunted, lit cigarette between his lips, as he finished kicking apart the plants and gathering a few green gemstones. "If this is a dream, it's a crappy one, if it's real, that's even worse" he muttered to himself as he stomped his way to where Bee and that gunslinger were breaking pots for more money, hearing Jack talk about the dullness of the place and the method of currency. "Heh, thought you'd dig something like this. Nice, fat gemstones to carry around n all. As for dullness, well, there's a bunch of monsters n crap around but most can be handled by a little elf kid with an oversized knife so I dunno how exciting that'd be".

"There's another thing, though..." he scratched his chin as he trailed off. "If you mess with chickens bad enough you get swarmed by a whole bunch of em, and the kid with the oversized knife can't hurt those at all", he explained for Jack's benefit before turning to Bee. "You know what I'm talking about I'm sure. Dunno 'bout you but I wanna see how much we can mess with the place before we leave. It's just a matter of doing it now or after we chill with some bowling". Jack felt good. His body felt lighter, tougher and sharper than it had ever been and he didn't fear no chicken, immortal or not. He felt as though he could do anything, fight anything or anyone.

Not much of a difference to how he normally felt, honestly, but the scope was bigger now. Before, the largest threats around had been gangsters, not gang members or street toughs but legit mobsters, and he'd taken them on with nothing but his fists and came out standing proud. He'd gotten his shit kicked in a few times but he always made sure to pay that back with interests. Now it was crap like demons and dragons and, oddly enough, he also felt like he'd taken them on before. He also knew he was far more familiar with videogames and other nerdy stuff than he used to be, but he wasn't about to question either of those things. From what he could tell, they were going to come in handy.

[Professor_Wyvern]

"Ah nah, those gems are awful pretty, but... It ain't satisfying ya know?" Rattlesnake Jack said with a sigh as he shot another few urns and collected a few more gems. "Ain't like gettin' money for an actual deed ya know? Just, feels dull." He shook his head, "So monsters here are dealt with by an knife? Faaaaaantaaastic." He said his word oozing with sarcasm. Returning his guns back to his holsters he let out a sigh. His eyes glimmered as he heard of some strange chickens which, seemed to be the only thing that could be an interesting fight. "Pardner, we're gonna mess with 'em poultry, if'n its the only thing that the knife can't kill here."

"I'mma thinkin' that we should go do that Bombchu Bowlin' first." Rattlesnake Jack said with a nod.

[Cheshire]

Cheshire had finally caught up to the cowboy dude and the smoking dude. Finally. If she was honest, some part of her wanted to be annoyed that nobody waited, but the majority of her was just glad she's finally managed it. Now, now she wouldn't let them out of her sight, lest they run off again. Although she kind of doubted that they did this stuff on purpose. They probably thought it quite normal to let people do things on their own.

Not that any of that stuff was particularly important. What was important was figuring out why they were smashing urns. Actually...

"Isn't that vandalism or something?" She gestured to the urns as she said this, "What're you going to do if somebody comes along to get their urn?"

She felt kind of stupid just saying that, really. There was something obvious that she was missing here... But what was it?

[Professor_Wyvern]

"No Sheriff or deputy. Place is dull slicker." Rattlesnake Jack said, still unamused, at the place. No Saloons, No Sheriff, hardly any cattle and probably no train station, it annoyed him. "And I called all dealin's with any local Sheriff." He said as he idly shot another urn and collected the gem within. He glanced at Cheshire, "Just lettan ya know." Rattlesnake Jack twirled his two guns before returning them to their holsters.

[Cheshire]

"Uh... Huh..." Somewhat unconsciously, her head tilted to one side in a confused pose, though she straightened up soon enough. So... No law enforcement, Hmm? No 'deputy or sheriff', as he had put it. So unsolicited destruction of property was okay..?

That gave her an idea. An idea of sorts, anyway. More like a seed of an idea: if they could get just a few gems from an urn, then would something bigger result in more gems? Hmm... That really was a terrible idea, but it did have a certain appeal...

She turned her back on the cowboy, and faced a building which, after a quick peer into a window, seemed uninhabited. Now... How was she going to do this..? She ended up with closed eyes, and a hand folded into a 'gun' shape, pointed towards the building. All this seemed like it was going to be for nothing, though, as nothing much happened. She tried again. Nothing. And again. Nothing.

"Oh for--" she had flapped her arm towards the building in a dismissive gesture, and in that motion, a little spark of something had flown from her fingertips, and exploded with a small 'whumpf' noise against the side of the building,

... Awesome. Just had to build up from there.

[IncredibleBee]

"Wait." Bee stopped, and turned to face Rattlesnake.
"Why would we even have a problem with the sheriff? We haven't done anything. Even if we had done something, we're in a new world. As long as we don't act suspicious, we'll be fine," the man with a suit and a sword said to the man with a duster and guns.

[Professor_Wyvern]

"I just love messin' with the Sheriff." Rattlesnake Jack cackled out. "I've had many fun adventures with the local sheriffs." He tapped his twin guns as he pulled them out. Spinning them around he chuckled again, "Sheriffs are fun, more when on the other side, though they're fun on your side too." He quickly returned his guns to their holsters.

[Charlie]

'Alright kid,' 'Charlie' 'Charlie, so not only can, you summon creatures but you can control the smaller ones, like small dogs 'n shit.' 'Cool, how?' 'I can't really explain it, just be the animal.' 'Helpful.' Charlie then parts from the groups a little, just to sit against the "cobblestone" wall. "Hmm." Charlie let out, he picked up Oreo, and looked her in the eyes. She went from her typical happy self, to a quite and subtle demeanor. Then Charlie's eyes went white, as if the pupils just vanished. Charlie was now feeling very short, and his vision was monochrome. He was now in full control of Oreo, he stretched, testing out his newly changed bones and muscles. He starts sauntering around his larger passed out body,'this is awesome!' 'Weird, thought I would stay in the body' 'Ahh, you tool, you were going to steal your body, back.' 'Hey your the intruder.' 'We'll just have to work together.' 'Do you know how frustrating it is not to control your own body?' 'No, and I don't plan to.' His dog face has notice able frustration.
