First Voyage; Text and then video

hdhsjardsadhfhkjfhkvh turn on write where is the paper????? dsjakleuwoiqrysf dashf

[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!

Damn. Would have liked to meet the bloke. Well, I'm sorry your friend isn't here, but then again, this place isn't very nice.

It really isn't.

... Ah - that reminds me, Mister Linebeck. If you need my help, you can always ask me, alright? You don't seem to be armed, after all.

[She's cool with being a hero. It's kind of her job.]

Kind of stinks, actually. I hear there's lots of danger.

Ah, well, that sure is kind of ya, but I think I'll be fine. Kid -- Link -- he gave me a gift to help me out. But hey, no reason why I can't keep a pretty lady in mind!

[... Okay; now he's just flirting with her. Which gets her to blush a bit, but she waves it off with a smile.]

This place is very dangerous. Even what would be normal animals become vicious and phantom like, should you stay too long on their floor.
But I'm sure you can handle yourself, yes?

[Not... going to comment about Link. That's a bad name for her right now.]

[GREAT SUCCESS. Blushing means he's winning, right]

Y-yeah. Of course. I'm a sailor! I'm used to... such things! Ha!

.... But just in case, which floors are the worst?

Well... I have yet to traverse this whole building, but I will tell you the ones I am aware of.

[Prepare for some ~~tl;dr~~ rambling, Linebeck. At least it's really pretty rambling?]

There is a floor that contains a whole forest within its walls - do not stray far from the staircase, should you find yourself there. The animals will not hesitate to attack.

The room with walls of water is certainly beautiful during the day, but during the night, its waters are filled with terrible beasts who insist on attempting to consume you.

And, while not populated by monsters, there is a floor that contains an endless void within it. ... Please watch your step, there.

... If you come find me beforehand, I would not mind escorting you about the tower, should you need it. But you are used to such things, as you've said.

[That might have been teasing. Maybe.]

Woah woah woah. Give me a second.

[from his coat, Linebeck withdraws a well-worn leather notebook, a pen, and some ink. He scribbles as she speaks, making notes.

Forest with evil animals, water walls with monsters, endless void floor....]

... Goddesses. All of that in ONE tower? What kind of madness is this!

If I had an answer, Mister Linebeck, you would know it by now.

But my offer of protection still stands.

[She's only pushing it because... well. You look like you'd be pretty thin under that huge coat, Linebeck. Like a twig, almost.]

[he massages his temples a bit, looking down. Ugh... this place....]

... I'll keep it in mind.

[he is! TWIG MAN!]

... Would you like me to show you to a peaceful place, Mister Linebeck?

[He really, really looks like he needs to relax and kick back for a while, seriously.]

You mean there's somewhere in this tower where I'm NOT in immediate danger of being eaten, maimed, or otherwise killed?

[he sighs. YEP. This has been a long day.]

Of course. ... It's my favorite floor, as well.

If you meet me by the staircase, I can show you.

Alright. Let me get a few things together. Give me a few minutes.

[because he's going to grab his knife and comb his hair and make sure his BREATH SMELLS NICE... ha! Ok. Off to the staircase]

[And she's just... her normal, raggedy forest girl self, giving him a smile as he approaches the staircase.

... He's shorter in person.]

Hello, Mister Linebeck. Are you ready to go?

[hey! He's not THAT short! sob.

But even raggedy, she's beautiful. Ooodshdashjdhas]

Ahem. Yeah. I am. Let's go see this relaxing place.

[Zelda gives him a nod then, before motioning for him to follow - but she's not going to walk ahead of him, that's rude. '~'
But either way; she's going to lead him to the meadow floor; her favorite place in the tower.]

This floor reminds me of my home. Not as much as the floor with the forest, but that place is much too dangerous to relax in, sadly.
But this place has never seen hide nor hair of a monster, and it's beautiful.

[ah? Well, they should walk side by side then. He attempts, JUST ONCE, to hook arms with her, but decides to.. not. He looks around the floor, eyebrows raised. He looks up to where the ceiling SHOULD be, and it just looks like a sunny day.

He takes in a deep breath and wow... it smells nice. A field of flowers on a sunny day , fresh and clean. He may be a man of the sea, but he can appreciate a good spit of land, too.]

I half expect to see some fluffy bunnies bounding across the field. The air sure is fresh here.

[She noticed that attempt there, Linebeck - most people aren't so forward though. 8|a At least not the people she knows. Is she missing some normal, social custom? Is this a Hylian thing? This forest gal's not really too sure what it meant - would it be rude to not link arms?
This all goes through her mind pretty quickly though, and she nods at what he says.]

It makes a great place to get away if the tower is too much.
I have been tempted to bring my bedding here instead of leaving it in my room, it's very nice.

[... S-should she hook arms with him though -]

[NAH, NAH. This is just Linebeck. Trying to be a gentleman]

I might be spending a lot of time here. As long as it doesn't aggravate my allergies. [he gives that red nose of his a rub] Thanks. For uh... showin' me this.

It was no trouble, Mister Linebeck.

Perhaps you and I could have a picnic together, sometime; here in this meadow.

[She can't help giving him a little bow as she speaks, mostly to be polite.]

A picnic, ya say! Well that sounds just lovely. I just wish there were an ocean in here, somewhere. Nothin' beats the smell of the seabreeze while you have a little snack.

[he frowns at that bow] Oh come on now, you don't have to bow to me.

... Ah, it's... it's a habit of mine, sorry.

But... I have never seen the ocean before. The most I have seen was the Zora's domain...

[She hasn't even visited Lake Hylia, yet. 8|a]

I'll have to take your word for it. You seem to have an eye for things such as that, after all.

[That. Might have been teasing for calling her beautiful, earlier.]

Well, you don't have to bow to me. I'm just a salty seadog, after all.

Well, lakes and such are nice, but they don't have a thing on the sea. Ah well. Maybe one day, when we get out of here.

... I wish I could join you to see it someday, Mister Linebeck.
And whether you are "just a salty seadog" or not, it's still polite...
But I won't anymore, if you feel I shouldn't.

[Because... doing something when asked not to is rude, right? 8|]

You'll have to forgive me, though. I am... not quite used to social customs just yet.

[Except Kokiri ones, whoops.]

[he blushes a little because she's just SO GOSHDARN CUTE and innocent and it feels wrong to hit on her SOB]

It makes me feel weird!

Hm? Why's that?
