I would not mind playing it for you. It's a nice song. A dear friend taught it to me so we could communicate, but I think it is beautiful in its own way.

Hyrule was... a wonderful place.

Maybe I should try making a broadcast with music sometime. I wonder if it would help everyone.

[puppy_lancer]

i don't doubt it
i hope you'll be able to go back to it one day

and i won't be opposed to hearing that music
hell, you can broadcast that music right now

give me a moment

[ It's hastily typed; Link is usually carrying the Ocarina of Time, and has to move the Pocket Cucco in their lap out of the way first, but that's not an issue.

After a bit, the silent Hylian begins playing a rather oddly cheerful melody. The notes have an odd quality to them, even over a recording.

Like magic. ]

[Lancer can't keep a smile off his face as he listens to the music. It seems to dispel all his worries for the time being.]

Thank you.
It was a beautiful song.
In return, would you like me to show you one from my homeland?

[He switches to audio as well, but since he has no instrument, all he can do is whistle.]

[So he whistles a quick cheerful reel.]

[ocariness]

[ Link's face lights up. Lancer, that was great!! There is the dorkiest, happy smile on this video feed, man. Link isn't going to speak, but there is a following text: ]

You are very talented, thank you. This was nice. We should do it again. Maybe you could find an instrument on the music floor?

[puppy_lancer]

[He scratches his head a little at the text, but doesn't really question why she's communicating this way.]

Uh...I never really learned how to play instruments. I mean, I've been fine with just humming or whistling. And even if I did, I'd be a little rusty.

i think it's pretty obvious what she's using at this point

[ocariness]

There is always time to learn, I could teach you! Music is in my people's very soul. In fact, it is considered odd for a Kokiri to not play at least one instrument. We make our own, even.

Fado is also here... I believe he plays something with strings. I think he would be happy to help. We could give it a try!

audio

[puppy_lancer]

I'd like that! And this Fado, what does he look like? I'll go talk to him.

video... ish

[ocariness]

i can draw you a picture hang on

[ AND THEN THIS IS A THING: ]



he looks like a child because kokiri do not age so he is also not very tall

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer switches over to video. He nods and gives Link and thumbs up.]

Cute picture, little lady. So Kokri are some sort of phantasmal species from your world?

[ocariness]

I am sorry I do not fully know what phantasmal means but if you mean immortal or forest spirits then yes that is pretty close!

Though they can still die if they leave the forest or get attacked they just do not age




... My case is a bit stranger, however.

[puppy_lancer]

it means they're naturally formed existences different from humans
so kokri are like what you'd call nature spirits in my place

what's so strange about you?

[ocariness]

well... none of the people in my world are human actually we are Hylians! Though I think that is similar? I am not sure. I know we have better hearing and an aptitude for magic...

I can age though because I am Hylian. It is worth mentioning we are not like Legolas people either, which I think are called Elves. I was raised there but I did think I was their kind for a very long time no one ever told me

[puppy_lancer]

never heard of hylians before
but a normal kid raised by fairy things isn't that odd
and it's not like they kicked you out, right?

[ocariness]

Well no but I was always kind of odd since Kokiri usually have a fairy that comes to them and it's considered a rite of passage... come to think of it most people here seem to usually find that odd

I have had people tell me fairies do not exist?

[puppy_lancer]

oh
well they do exist
i know they do
but in this modern day and age not many people have seen 1
so they say they dont exist
