[WHACK. Hitting the computer activates the video function. Glaring at the screen is a tan-skinned man with pointed ears, a lovely gin-blossom nose, sunken eyes, and... green hair. And he's already changed out of that weird jumpsuit and into his normal clothes. The top of his orange collar is barely visible over his red cravat.
He narrows his eyes at the screen, then down at the keyboard]
Blasted... typewriter! What kind of contraption is this! Where's the paper?! Cursed LIARS, telling me I could communicate with people using this thing!
[and now he's shaking the computer. Or trying to]
HEY!! TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK, YOU INFERNAL MACHINE!! Put me back on my ship right this instant!

[Oh wait! He snaps, giving the captain a grin.]
Where are you right now, Linebeck? I've got an idea!

video -> action;
[He turns the video feed off then, before running to go find his new friend - which doesn't take long at all.
... Whoah, you're really tall. But now's not the time for that! He's just going to tug at the back of Linebeck's coat, smiling up at him.]
action;
so the scary green man doesn't glare at him again. He's pretty deep in thought, trying to learn as fast as possible, so he doesn't notice the familiar "taptaptap" of his little friend running towards him. But the yank on his coat works! He turns around and smiles at the kid]Kid! So that's what you meant.
action;
[It's a present. And golden. It's a golden present.]
action;
[he holds out his hands]
What is it?
action;
These.
They're really important to me, okay? But they're my Power Bracelets!
I can lift up whole boulders with these on!
action;
Magic bracelets? You're just... giving these to me? [Kid... he doesn't even... dahskfhajkd] Are you sure about that?
action;
I've got my bows 'n arrows, and the Master Sword.
[SHING. He pulls out the legendary blade to show Linebeck, grinning.]
It hurts evil a lot, so I'll be okay!
Besides - we're friends, right? I can trust you with my Power Bracelets!
action;
Well, if you insist, kid. [here's a genuine smile] I appreciate it. [... oh that is a nice sword] Woah. It's kind of... glowy. Is that normal?
action;
... I had to do a lot to get it to do that.
[No seriously. You try carrying two of your friends everywhere.
Oh wait.]action;
[he grins] Let me guess. Lots of sailing, and dungeons?
action;
[... Oh, man - don't even get him started.]
Sailing and temples. Waaay bigger than dungeons!
I had to carry my friends around too, because they can't fight...
Medli's really nice, but she's really heavy!
action;
Eyuck. No thank you. Of course, I'm more than capable of clearing such things! But I choose not to!
... Carry? They don't have legs?
action;
[How to put this?
The best way he can describe it is measuring how tall Makar is compared to himself - only a foot or so off the ground...]
action;
[never stopped to chat, after all. Just noticed that some of the smaller islands often had one of those little wooden imps hanging around on it...]
action;
[He doesn't like being called short, either - but he's not going to get into that. Just... look mildly annoyed.]
action;
action;
[So tiny, in such a big temple... And he got lost to a Floormaster too. Damn floor hands.]
action;
action;
[He... revived the Master Sword, after all.]
But, um... it was actually pretty hard... there were a lot of Floormasters. In both temples...
[He really hates them. A lot.]
action;
That doesn't sound too scary.
action;
They're big, phantom hands that shoot out of ... voidy things in the ground! They're really tall too - a lot taller than you are.
They pick you up by your head and drag you into their voidy thing, and you wake up in a whole other part of the temple.
[He's even demonstrating how they act by waving one of his little arms in the air, hand bent forward like a Floormaster.]
It's really the noises they make that bug me. They scream a lot, and make a lot of high sounds that hurt my ears.
action;
[... oh god that sounds horrifying. Linebeck pales] ... I have decided I do not like them, either. But at least they spit you out, eventually... instead of keeping you in the, ahem, "voidy thing".
