Hope you feel better!
Fair enough. For the rest of you, I'm sorry for those who got delays on my IC post and OOC delegations. Had to do some running around in regards to my accident and subsequent hospitalization. About to go to bed, so I'll get to it within the next twenty-four hours.


Take your time, dude, and don't be sorry.

Real life comes first. I don't know about these other folks, but the time waiting just gives me more time to develop and flesh out the 5 episode arc I have in mind.

A week late, but another installment of As The Kokiri Runs.
MEANWHILE
in the Lost Woods...

The green-haired boy stooped down, two fingers gingerly testing a patch of dried mud on the cobbled stone floor.

The Forest Temple was a mythical place, even for the Kokiri. They respected what it represented, but rarely went near it. Even Dilly, one of the oldest who was still among them, had only stepped foot in the temple one other time before. Then, as now, it was as part of a mission to understand what was happening in or around the Lost Wood. These were strange days, prone to stranger nights, and the Kokiri were anxious about what they didn't know of the going-ons beyond their forest.

Stalfos were known to walk the temple courtyard at night, and the eerie light of a poe's lantern could be seen flickering like the will'o'wisp, so the boy had been careful to approach the Forest Temple in the light of day. Which meant that the light coming in through the entrance to the temple marked a very real countdown, by which the boy would need to take whatever there was to learn here and be gone.

"Someone was here. There was a struggle of some kind," the child noted aloud, as the amber light of the orb fairy drifted overhead.

Black splotches on the stone. Blood. Someone had been hurt. Possibly more than one 'someone.'

"I can't tell how they left," the boy mused, continuing to air his thoughts aloud as he examined the individual clues and tried to use them in his mind's eye to understand just what he was seeing. Someone came in here. Three, maybe four? A struggled ensued, but there were no bodies. Nor evidence of bodies having been dragged away.

It begged the question of whether they'd left at all. They could still be here, their souls trapped in the poe's light or shambling about as Stalfos.

Or worse, ReDead.

"I don't sense the presence of the Sage of the Forest," Ayala noted, the melodic voice echoing in the back of his mind, even as he looked up and contemplated the vaulted ceiling above them.

He remembered Saria. Her absence from the Kokiri Village had diminished them, and he found the notion that she occupied now a place alongside the Great Deku Tree as a protector of the Forest less comforting than he probably ought to have. Because she wasn't with them, she was here.

And, seemingly, she was not here either.

A shadow by the door prompted the Kokiri into motion. His footsteps silent as he crept into the shadows of a support pillar. The outline of a wolfos was cast upon the far wall.

Had the pack he'd encountered earlier managed to track him here this quickly?

That question was frozen in his mind as another shadow overlaid that of the wolfos. Gasping, his breath stuck in his throat, the boy risked a peer from behind the pillar.

"Moblin," he uttered softly.

oh shit! Hope you're healing quick Gowi!


What he said. Hope you're doing okay Gowi
@Gowi

For planning/scheduling and what not, what's the ETA on the IC?
@CallSignCorsair

Don't feel you have to. Your take on Croc seems spot on. No reason we can't both reference him.
I’m also going to put Kara aside, since I don’t feel comfortable with her being older than Dick frickin’ Grayson, ...


Or, you know, you could make Kara 11/12 and we could do our own version of Superman/Batman in which Robin heroically puts gum in her hair. For great justice.
@BrokenPromise Ghost rider is my jam. One of the coolest designed characters. Too bad his movies were awful.
