Link Visiting Places: SKY WORL EDITION

[sky_child]

Link had left the bar to make some arrangements--namely, making sure that the door lead him to Skyloft, rather than the Lanayru Caves--or the Lanayru Gorge. Wouldn't that have been confusing to the old dragon, walking out with another human?

Not that the people of Skyloft wouldn't be any less confused by the Link. Skyloft was a pretty tight-knit community for such a large island, and it'd be hard, explaining the other boy in a convincing fashion. He's hoping he can explain it away by saying he's a fan from one of the outlying islands. But he has his doubts about that...

Doubts he will set aside for the time being. It's time to wake the other boy up!

So he's knock, knock, knocking on his door.

"Hey, Link? It's me...Link!"

Maybe he heard the whistle and the resulting call of a bird. And maybe he saw the ascent of a rather large, bright red bird--with a familiar green figure riding its back.

Hopefully he's watching as the bird swoops to the side, because that's the side Link and his Loftwing are now approaching the platform.

Hero of Time, are you ready?

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

omg omg

omg he was born ready aaaaa-LET'S DO THIS!!!!

He takes a running leap off of the platform and...screams bloody murder because he can't help it, it's a reflex!!

[sky_child]

Will someone learn this child some indoors voice?

As much as his scream is hurting his ears, he manages to catch the other Link on his bird.

Which then takes a steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dive before it gains its, er, winging?

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Well, the screaming stopped, because he landed somewhere, but it takes awhile for him to open one eye to look around, body still flat and tense on the bird.

...And then he pushes himself up, taking a better look around.

[sky_child]

Throwing a look over his shoulder, "Are you okay?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...Hah, "is he okay"? It's so weird, he kind of had rides from birds before, like when he got a ride back to Kakariko from the big owl. But there's that and then...then there's riding above the clouds, feeling the wind in his face.

"...Hehehe." Yeah, it looks like he's okay.

[sky_child]

That's good enough for him.

He flies around with no particular destination in mind. He thinks that, eventually, he'll stop by the Lumpy Pumpkin, but only after he feels that the other Link has had his fill of the sky.

And that might be a while.

It should be noted that, despite the extra weight, Link is still flying his bird superbly, dodging the Octorooks on the nearby rocks, and evading the tornadoes that appear before him.

Of course, a lot of this involves spin charging, so the narration does hope that the Hero of Time doesn't mind a few barrel rolls here and there!

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

ARE YOU KIDDING, THIS IS AMAZING?!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!!?

Although he might be clinging onto Skyloft when the barrel rolls happen, so enjoy that.

[sky_child]

Yeah, he's gonna... Hope that his ribs survive this somehow...

"Let me know if there's anywhere you want to stop!"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Spin around again!!"

If you tell another soul that he's acting like this.

He'll kill you.

[sky_child]

he really thinks he is losing hearts by doing this but okay he will spin again so you can continue to bend his ribs further until they break

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

That's okay, the clearly displayed joy and outright giggling should be enough to get Skyloft some hearts back. :')

[sky_child]

Yes, yes it should be.

He'll soon notice that they are approaching an island with an oddly-shaped building on it. Link again says over his shoulder, "That's the Lumpy Pumpkin. I'm going to stop there. But you have to jump off the bird to get on the island. I'll fly close enough so you can land without getting hurt, okay?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Okay!" This jumping off and landing on things stuff is really fun!

He releases his grip on the other Link a little bit (thank the gods) and looks at the island, ready at any time.

[sky_child]

Soon they're flying above a grassy area in front of the restaurant. "Ready?" he calls out, before leaping off his bird to land on the island.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Yeah!" Okay, he just has to jump off again, right? Easy!

Thankfully, since they're close to land, Link isn't screaming his head off from a huge fall, and he lands just fine!

[sky_child]

Thank goodness. Kina is over there by the pumpkin patch, throwing a wave to her sometimes-coworker, sometimes co-musician. Link can't imagine what her response would be hearing that other boy's scream.

"Welcome to the Lumpy Pumpkin," he says, feeling no need to point out the pumpkin-shaped and colored building behind him.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He nods, looking around a little.

"...What is it?" Aside from the...name of a building.

[sky_child]

"It's a bar! C'mon, I'll show you inside."

He grabs Link by the hand, pulling him towards the door, and inside once the door is open. He squints up at the chandelier once they're in the central room. No matter what Pumm says, that thing is excessively gaudy.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...A bar? Wasn't that a-oops, too late, he's already going inside.

If he acts cool, maybe they'll let him stay.

[sky_child]

Nobody seems to pay him any mind.

Only one of the men sitting at the large table underneath the chandelier gives him a look, and even then he resumes glowering at the table's surface. Pumm is, as always, busy behind the counter, cooking, cleaning, humming to himself.

"Are you thirsty? We can get something to drink here."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Do they have milk?"

...N-No, dear.

[sky_child]

"...no."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Darn. :(

"Hmm. I-I'm okay with trying other stuff."

[sky_child]

"Alright. See those steps over there? If you go up to the second floor, there should be tables...I'll meet you up there, okay?"
