The Faraway Land

And you know that "I have a life" excuse everyone loves? I know the dirty secret behind that - it's actually a load of crap. Unless you work 16 hours a day, you have enough time to write. I have a life too; I work 8 hours a day at my call center job, 40 hours a week, 54 hours during mandatory overtime periods. My breaks are 10 minutes long and lunch is 30 minutes. Since I have to be there at 8:30 and it takes half an hour to get there, and it takes me an hour to get ready for work, I wake up at 7. Shift ends at 5 and getting back takes half an hour, so when I get home, I have 5.5 hours to myself (assuming 8 hours sleep).

I can whip up a solid post in 10 minutes if I know what I'm doing, half an hour if it's really difficult.

I'm not some fat slob waiting in his parent's basement for you people to entertain me. Outside of work, I'm an avid gamer, who enjoys The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, and World of Tanks. I have a few close friends who I regularly communicate with via Skype. Sometimes, I even find the motivation to write my novelization of The Faraway Land.

I have a life too, and I can post 3-4 times a day (or more) with the right motivation. So this "I have a life" excuse is really just a load of crap. You can post if you really want to.

You just don't want to.

Oh, so it's my problem? Never mind that people lose interest if they wait more than 3-4 days. Never mind that it's my job as GM to hold this RP together. Never mind that I know for a fact you could post every day if you wanted to. It's all my fault for being impatient. Because you have lives, you see, and asking you to put a few words in every two weeks (because I only ask that someone post every other day) is so unfair!

No. I'm not buying that.

It's been 3 days, and I'm getting real tired of nagging you guys. So I'll up the ante again. If nobody posts after 2 days, I'm starting a new round without you, and anybody who didn't post forfeits the prior turn.

State your objections now, or forever hold your peace.

I also have to wonder whether anyone will stand up for Eru. They all seemed pretty apathetic when Vert accused her of foul play. It would be pretty sad if Edward were the only one who gave two cents about her welfare.

Speaking of standing up for people, Kaite had better get to Tiberius soon...

"Was that ever a question?"
"Well, y-"
"There are still monsters about. I wouldn't want you to go off alone like that. Besides, I'm your knight. Where else do I belong if not with you?"
Zelda closed her mouth. He was right, of course - the last time she'd wandered off alone, a group of Yiga nearly assassinated her. Link had saved her that time. It was the first time she ever looked at him with gratitude instead of jealousy, and she never forgot the day. A hundred years had passed since then, and though there was no one in Hyrule to enforce his loyalty to her, Link still chose to defend her.

"You don't have to, you know. You could settle down with a nice girl-" Zelda nearly choked on her words. "-and make a life for yourself. Or all by yourself even. You don't- you don't have to risk yourself for me anymore." Her voice dropped to a murmur. "I can kind of defend myself in a pinch..."

She didn't really believe that, but it had to be said.

Not only was he Zelda's "Appointed Knight," he was also the Captain of the Guard. So he was a pretty big name back in the day. ^_^

I wonder how Vert will react to seeing the armored woman engaging Edward. She may not realize it's Erudessa unless the Storyteller tells her, and if he does...will there be a murder? >:)

"Well, you went through the trouble of making me breakfast. Of course I'll eat it," he said. Zelda reddened slightly and murmured her gratitude. Link acquired a couple utensils and sat down to eat. "So, where will we be heading off first? We need to make sure the other villages are doing good now, right?"

Zelda pulled up a chair across from him at the small table and leaned forward. "First, we will have to pay a visit to Puraha at the Hateno Tech Lab. It is a solid trek up the mountain, one you have probably made yourself to upgrade the Sheikah Slate. After that, we will make our way to Kakariko Village so I can visit Impa. I have not seen her in ages, and she is doubtless worried sick about me."

She fell silent for a moment.

"You will be coming with me, right?"

@RyuHll Dangit, forgot to tag you again. I posted.

Gotta decide on how I'm going to play Zelda. I'm thinking semi-tsundere, where she isn't too serious about the coldness/violence.

The Legend of Zelda: Bloom of Civilization

Even with bed hair, he was still the most beautiful man she'd ever known. With his soft, boyish face, his lean, tough muscles, and deep blue eyes that could hypnotize her, he made her feel lucky just to have met him. But it would all be for naught if he was of poor character. The man was a hero, through and through. He'd battled frightening monsters, braved disease and the elements, and faced down death itself. Had she not known him longer, she might have swooned at his feet at every meeting.

Instead, she simply blushed and pretended to be annoyed.

"N- yes! You made me wait forever! I was wondering when you'd wake up, sleepy-head."
The tug at the corner of her mouth gave it away that she wasn't serious.
"Are you...going to eat that?" she asked, and shrank down a bit as she considered how he might react to dry eggs and burnt steak.
