[Invite-Only] Legend of Zelda: Explorers of Hyrule RPG

[invective~directive]

Shiallia's embarrassment melted into a glare of fury worthy of a dragon. He'd annoyed her alright. Her eyes were like chips of ice, and her voice was colder than winter nights, despite the summer world around them. "Messing with people is not very... polite." She had her knife in her hand. She looked downright deadly. Shia sighed, putting her knife away. Her expression softened to a look of annoyance. "I've never gone on a date or kissed someone before, and I met you all yesterday. As for interesting things about the gate, sure, I'd love to see whatever you have to show me." Her gaze spoke for her. This'd better be good, or else. She moved away from the structure, never taking her eyes of Zeph.

Della Collern/13/Colorblind/Where: Mira Village/With: Sapphire

Della was mostly just wandering around with Sapphire when she noticed that Sapphire had stopped for some reason. She looked back, curious. "Hey Saph, whatcha lookin' at?" She asked, walking over to her. She looked in the direction she was looking and saw the two Hylians.

Sapphire wasn't sure what to feel. The flowery hyleans were floating around gracefully, but they were obviously magic oriented. Sapphire always saw magic, unless necessary, was cheating. Someone could train their whole life to juggle, but then someone with magic can just float the objects being juggled above their heads effortlessly. And whoever was floating those petals seemed to have no trouble doing so, since they moved so fluidly. Sapphire was ok with magic if they used it to save someone's life, or defend themselves, but the petals floating around in the shape of hyleans only caused temporary enjoyment, the kind that would leave them wanting more. If a non-magical performer tried to impress these people, most of them wouldn't bat an eye due to their raised expectations. If a blind person didn't dance as well as a sighted one, the sighted one wins the crowd.

Sapphire glanced back at Della.

"I-isn't magic kinda cheating?" All of my elaborate thoughts, and I am only comfortable saying four words, excluding stuttering.

Day 6 (Late Morning)/Guzore the Goron/20/Where: Mira Village/With:Everyone except Zeph, Ferondir, and Shia

Guzore heard Jakub speak and turned around to see his little magic show. It reminded him of the giant sand castle from a few days earlier.
Oh!! That's some nice magic, brother! Make me! Make me!

Zeph smirked, no longer putting effort into hiding his amusement
A bit testy this morning now, aren't we? Zeph said devilishly.
He turned his back to Shia and paced to the opposite side of the gate, fully aware that she wouldn't try to attack him- though of course, he had a backup plan.
You know, if we're talking about being polite. It's also not very polite to threaten someone- Yes, even with something as miniscule as a knife.
You should be more careful with those things- You might end up getting hurt. Zeph spoke sharply, but carelessly- as if he had no intention of finding interest in what he was saying.
Now, as for the gate-
This thing is basically always dormant, nobody has gotten it to do anything in a very long time. It barely fluctuates, and rarely does anything extraordinary.
Except... At that, Zeph took a dramatic step inside the center line, maintaining eye contact with Shia the entire time.
As he stepped into the center ring, the blue orb in the center pulsated and began to vibrate- within seconds it faded from blue to a dark purple.
Zeph stood still inside the center line, as small arcs of purple plasma protruded from the orb and sparked onto Zeph.
A loud hum could be heard, but it didn't seem as if it was coming from the gate.
Zeph began to feel a tingling sensation the longer he stood near the gate.
He then sidestepped out of the center ring, and in moments the orb returned to a normal state.
As cool as that may of seemed, I didn't actually get it to activate it self. As far as I could theorize, it detected my natural levels of magic and responded to it by adjusting itself around my wavelength.
I dont know, I just always thought that was cool.

[invective~directive]

That is cool... She gave no sign of this thought. "Just because you could beat me in a fight doesn't mean you should. And I wasn't threatening you. I know how much more powerful you are, and I'm not stupid." She sighed. "Being rude to each other won't help anything. I have enough enemies as is." She smiled. "Though I unfortunately can't say I have many friends."

[portal2lbp2]

Well, who knows- hopefully that'll change soon. Maybe after you stick with us for awhile, you'll decide you like us enough? It seems everyone else here decided they liked us- most of them ended up joining me and Ferondir a few days ago, and here we are! Zeph laughed slightly, as he was still observing the cold blue ball in the center of the area.

[invective~directive]

"I trust you guys to some extent, just... Not the others. I don't know why... They just scare me. Some of them remind me of people I used to know, and some of them are really suspicious. Like..." She sighed, embarrassed. "Like Sapphire. She always acts so suspicious. Usually when people act like that it means they just took something from you or are planning to." She looked away. "I don't know why I'm telling you guys this. It doesn't really affect you." She became very serious. "And as you've probably guessed, I expect that neither of you will repeat any personal conversations I have with you to other people. If I don't tell them, I probably don't want them to know."

[AngelOzwin]

Ferondir had been silent up to this point, not because he didn't care, but because he was so angry he couldn't speak. He was especially angry at Zeph for making light of a thing to which he'd devoted the past 10 years.
"Why is everything a joke to you?" He shoved Shia aside and stepped almost uncomfortably close to Zeph "Am I really that worthless too you?"

[portal2lbp2]

Zeph was taken back as Ferondir had marched uncomfortably close.
He flinched slightly at the anger he had just released.
Zeph certainly didn't expect this.
He wasn't used to seeing Ferondir angry- It used to be a rare sight, but it seems that he's seen a lot more of that recently.
I make everything into a joke? Me? I've been trying. I've been trying so hard. To be better, to be the me I know everyone wants to see. The me that my dad forced me to be. I stopped my habits- all those plaguing habits.I tried, and he didn't even care. Zeph thought quickly.
At this single moment, Zeph didn't care what he had to lose or gain- how he had to look- how he was expected to look. He didn't care, he let his walls down.
Oh! Oh that's rich! That's absolutely hillarious! Me, I make everything into a joke?
A joke? A joke? Everything isn't a joke Ferondir! It just needs to be. I've been trying so hard to escape from... from everything! My past, my present, For gods sake, my future! According to the cursed prophecy, I'm going to die. IM GOING TO DIE, FERONDIR- AND YOU DON'T GET THAT, DO YOU? Zeph was now standing up straight, mere inches from Ferondir, looking him right in the eye.
So you ask me why everything is a joke? I'll tell you why everything is a joke- I've done horrible things. Horrible, wicked things- and I'm reliving them every single night. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I SEE THEM BURNING IN THE FIRE. THE FIRE THAT I STARTED! And you know what the worst part is? You were the last thing I had. The last connection I had to them, my best friend. You were the only one that knew how to deal with them, how to comfort me. And you know what you went off and did? You abandoned me. But Ferondir, I'm always here- suffering silently, pretending everything on the surface is fine, making jokes because I have to, I have to laugh to keep the past behind, and you had always helped me do that. We grew up together, even after she was long gone- you were there for me, you were my rock- but now, you just don't care. So how DARE you say you are anything near worthless to me.
No, you aren't. You wer- no. you are the only thing I have.
I used to lock my self in that mansion for weeks at a time, cascaded in darkness- mentally and physically!
I would sit at the very piano they used to force me to sit at for hours, and just feel sorry for my self. But you knew just what to do, you ALWAYS did.
But now, with everything that's happening, I can't handle it all by myself, I cant pretend everything is fine.
I can't face the constant torment from myself anymore.
But yes, obviously, everything is such a joke to me, I mean look at my life- Zeph could feel himself getting far to emotional.
Oh no, here it comes.
Word Vomit.
I'm on an adventure to save an already dead king, accompanied by a giant, a large woolly stuffed animal with antlers, fish people, and a wizard that specializes in healing magic tHAT CAN'T EVEN FIX HIMSELF-

Zeph gasped, putting his hand on his mouth. He could feel how red his face must of turned transitioning from anger to shame.
Oh god Ferondir- I- I didn't mean that. Zeph said, stepping back and closing his eyes, bracing himself for whatever Ferondir was about to do.
Honestly, Zeph had no idea what to expect anymore- he didn't feel as apathetic as usual, he just felt broken.
However, he felt much lighter.
