[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!

[Yeah, Link had already figured these things out pretty well - he may be dumb, but he's not stupid. They're different okay

... And sorry, but you're just going to get laughter on this end for a bit.]

Don't be mean to the machine! It didn't do anything!

video; 1/2

[chickenofthesea]

[oh hush you've been here longer! There's nothing like this on the Great Sea!]

Now it's laughing at me. Gr--

[chickenofthesea]

Wait! Kid! [SHAKING THE WEIRD TYPEWRITER MORE]

Are you stuck in there?! How do I get you out?!! What kind of stupid magic is this?

[cantstopme]

...

[Blink blink. This guy knows him? Did he forget about someone he's met?]

No, I'm not stuck, don't worry! This thing can be... kind of like a weird window into other parts of the tower! I think it's really neat.
People call it using "video".

[If it's not obvious though, he is really confused. He doesn't recognize this guy at all, what...]

Text then Video

[Pipit hasn't taught her to use the text function yet. Or at least, what a space bar is. He should do that.

Okay wait, video.... video... how does one make a video.. OH! Here we go!]

You ain't goin' back. Didn't you read the letter? Says our worlds were destroyed. Which is a lie, by the way 'cos otherwise my ancestor wouldn't be here.

[chickenofthesea]

A window? So you're on the other side of this thing? [he stands up from the chair and looks around the computer... but there's only a wall there!] So you're in a room behind here?

[also, noticing that you don't really recognize him there, kid] Ahhh... what's that confused look for, kid? Don't tell me you don't remember good old Captain Linebeck!

[chickenofthesea]

i cant relax i have stuff to do!!!!!

[gosh Linebeck lay off that exclamation point]

I... skimmed it. [he threw it away] What's this now? You mean the sea is just gone? Impossible! I was just there!

video;

[cantstopme]

No, um... I'm in a whole other hallway.

But I don't - sorry... did you live on Windfall? Or maybe you lived on a whole other island...

[... Now this is really bothering him. Who is this man??]

video;

[chickenofthesea]

... I hate magic.

[his expression falls. After all their adventures...?] No! I mean, I go ashore on Windfall for supplies, but I live on my ship! The SS Linebeck! You and me, we sailed all over, rescued your friend Tetra, and saved that old man who was really a whale from the squiddy thing! The Ocean King or whatsit. You don't remember any of that?

video;

[cantstopme]

...

[Nope, you're getting a shake of the head. No memories of it whatsoever.]

... Oh - oh no, I think um...
See, this place likes to be really weird and take people from other times, Captain Linebeck. I might not've done any of that, yet.
Last thing I was doing was setting sail off of Outset with Tetra and her crew, so I guess you're kind of from the future.

I'm really sorry...

[But hey - now's your chance to not look like a coward in front of him! And he doesn't have Ciela, so he might fall for your excuses better!!!]

[great_king_of_evil]

Be silent, little man.

[ Have a Ganondorf starring at you. That's the one warning he gives to that weird man on the screen. His screaming are pathetic and annoying. And Ganondorf doesn't tolerate pathetic-ness. ]

[chickenofthesea]

[Linebeck looks down, folding his arms and apparently giving it some thought. Different times? Was that even possible? He frowns deeply, but gives a nod]

Well if that's how it's gonna be...! [a grin now!] The name's Linebeck, and I'm a real man of the sea!!

[chickenofthesea]

[oh...

you're scary.......]

Uh.... ok. Are you the boss around here?

[cause you seem like a boss]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Arm cross and looking thoughtful. And irritated at the same time.] Yeah well, before I got here I was helpin' Link kill that jerk, Ganondorf. And apparently it is.

video;

[cantstopme]

[Hey - if Linebeck's smiling, he might as well, too! He gives the Captain a big, warm smile and a nod.]

And... I guess you know who I am, too! It's really nice to meet you, Linebeck!
You look like a man of the sea, too - all... captainy and stuff!

[Captainy is so a word, okay.]

video;

[chickenofthesea]

That's right! I sail the Great Sea on the SS Linebeck in search of treasure! And ADVENTURE! Mostly treasure! But my ship is special. Runs on steam, you see. Fancy, right? Much more reliable than sails!

[chickenofthesea]

Ganondorf, huh. [must have been the adventure that Link went on before they met... the kid talked about it a few times, but only vaguely.] Well that's horrible!! That means... [GASP] My ship!! She's gone, too?!

video;

[cantstopme]

Whoa...!

[Yeah, he is so impressed.]

That sounds so neat... I wish I could go sailing with you! It sounds a lot better than having to use the Wind Waker all the time...

[It gets tiring after a while, okay. His poor little conductor's arm.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Chuckles. ]

What I am isn't the matter.

[ Final boss actually in another world. ]

Know that I will not tolerate another outburst of that kind on the network.

[ If anything the sadistic smile can give him an idea on how Ganondorf would punish him- Would he be to do it again. ]

[video]

[sageprincess]

[You, sir, look... disheveled. Have a regal looking lady appearing on screen.]

Unfortunately, it does not seem like we can reach our captors through these strange machines.

[And shaking them is also futile, so. Yeah.]

video;

[chickenofthesea]

Yep! Well... I guess if this world destruction thing is true... then you won't get to. But I can tell you about the adventures we WOULD have had together.

But it's wonderful, not to be at the whim of the winds.

[chickenofthesea]

Aahaaa... right. I uh... won't. Do it again.

[ever. NOTE TO SELF; LEARN HOW TO USE THE THING]

[video]

[chickenofthesea]

[oooh! How pretty! He straightens his coat and cravat, and even gives his hair a little attention]

Well hello, miss. Is that so? What a shame!

video;

[cantstopme]

...

[Frown. Frown.]

The world destruction thing's not true at all! This place lies all the time - don't believe it, okay? The Great Sea is just fine, I bet. The Goddesses wouldn't let it just fall like that, not after the King wished for hope on the Triforce!

[This is a big deal, okay. He won't let anyone believe what this tower says! >8(]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, big jerk with red hair and funny clothes.

[He killed Link here :< Several Links.]

Yep! Unless the tower somehow brought it along, which is doubtful, there wouldn't be no place to put it.
