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

[Soupysoap]

Jack looked at the blue hookshot in his hands. It was shiny, although not as shiny as some of the other gifts being handed out. It was nice of Veneficus to do that, but Jack knew that he needed something done in exchange. Something was set in motion starting with the king's death, and it seemed that it would be a race to see who would be able to collect the triforce again. No wonder such a powerful artifact was hidden away. Jack wasn't exactly sure how powerful this triforce was, but the more Zeph grinned and whipped his shiny new toy about, the less Jack was sure that he ever wanted the triforce to be found by anyone, whether they were Bordix or Hylian.
Jack remembered the Zora under the table. People died, she would probably get over it. Everyone made such a big deal of it, but the group was playing with fire. Trying to obtain a piece of the triforce, it's a wonder any of them got out alive.

Who: Ravoo
When: Day 7, Morning
Where: Ven's Study

Ravoo put his new claw gloves on and pulled out some sausages from earlier.
"Shaarrrp..." he said as the claws glided through the sausage like butter. He retracted his claws and turned to Della. "Me forgot bout this!" he said as he pulled the mysterious fruit from earlier out of his fluff (Aura fruit). He tossed it across the room and it landed straight into Della's new cauldron. "Ahhh yissss"

Zeph/Study/Everyone
Zeph cracked the whip loudly, seeing just how much electricity he could put into it.
Holy Goddess, Zeph, you scared me. Ferondir said from across the room.
Not my intention, though that will surely be useful in the future. Zeph jested, coiling the whip around his hand and up his wrist.
New hook, huh? It's certainly shiny, Ill give you that. He said,making his way to Ferondir and glancing at the hook.
You're not wrong. Ferondir said, rolling his eyes and giving the faintest of a laugh- as he distractedly looked over Zeph's shoulder, his expression faded into a solemn look of recognition.

Zeph had seen this look, many times before. Either given to him, or from him.
He knew exactly what he'd see if he turned around.
Sapphire, mourning her sister.
Zeph turned from Ferondir- unable to bear that expression.

For the past few years, there were two looks Zeph would receive if he went into the town.
The first being the look Ferondir had on his face right then, a complete look of empathy, in which people attempted to sympathize with him- comfort him. Even though they had no idea what I'd had to go through. "Oh, dearie, I'm so sorry! Please, if there's anything I can-" There isn't. Very rarely was there anything anyone could do. He thought, clenching his fists.

Or the second, the one he'd grown to live with. A look of hatred or fear, masked by false smile. These were the kinds of people that treated Zeph as if what he'd done was completely his fault, as if he'd done it on purpose. These were the people that would go silent when he walked into a shop, or whisper as he walked down the street.

The one thing they had in common? They all pretended to understand. They would act as if they knew what he was going through- just because something had happened to them? They had no idea. Zeph looked down at his fists, which he was clenching so hard they had become bright red, and watched the electricity surge between his fingers.
He opened his hands, allowing the tension to ease.
Nobody cares, Zeph. That's what I learned. Empathy is temporary.
He closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh.
Now is not the time. It's never the time. You aren't 10 anymore. He shook his head, opening his eyes and forcing that same fake smile he's so used to wearing around other people.
It's time to care. Or, at least pretend.
Ferondir turned to face Zeph, his eyes red with emotion. He was probably thinking about... her. He thought, analytically.
I'm so used to having people point out our similarities- but there is one astounding difference between us- I can hide how I feel.
I remember. Ferondir said whimsically.
You- remember? That was not at all what Zeph expected to hear from Ferondir.
Oh! Your memory! Out of all the things that could of restored your memory it was-
-Well, welcome back! You probably can't tell- but, how much do you remember?

Floroot/Study/Everyone

Floroot (hereby known as Flo, because why not) tried to clear her throat over all the talking. However, no one heard her, as usual.
Rolling her eyes, she spun so she was a little bit higher off the ground.
"EH HEM" she cleared her throat. Everyone looked at her.
She crossed her brown, root arms in front of her torso and raised an eyebrow.
"Yeet." she said.

Della Collern/13/Colorblind/With: All of them/Where: That study

Della listened quietly, feeling sad for Sapphire and Shia. It was unfortunate, what had happened in that last battle. She was caught off guard by Ravoo, who suddenly tossed a fruit at her. She was thankful it landed in the cauldron and not on the ground. "Thanks Ravoo." She smiled at him, then focused back on the other two girls. There was a clearing of someone's throat and she looked over, wondering who was trying to attract attention.

Shiallia - Private Study - Everyone

Shia turned, curious. The floroot's announcement made her smile. "Hi there, friend! Yeet." She wasn't sure why she'd said that. Well, apparently I can't go for a day without acting like a fool. This realization didn't really bother her. Does that mean I am a fool? Eh.

[AzuniCatto]

Sapphire heard Zeph's whip cracked again, and covered her head with her hands. She definitely disliked that noise. Ahhrrrrgggg! Stop it! Stop it! Stop whipping! Why can't everything just be a dream, and actually I am still in Zora's domain,with mom! And dad! And... Amethyst.... She made and upset noise, whispering "Stop it!" over and over about six times, clearly referencing Zeph's whip. She heard an "Ahem!" from behind her, and looked upwards slightly, but not directly at the Floroot. She was still shaken up from the loud snap of Zeph's whip.

Apprentice Ferondir of Mira ~ Veneficus's Study ~ Day 7, Morning

Ferondir immediately saw the intense emotion in his friend's eyes.
"She's free, Zeph." Ferondir was hugging Zeph before he knew what was happening.
Zeph tenced. He'd never been one for hugs, but he soon relaxed.
Ferondir was the only one allowed to hug him since Cassie disappeared, And since the fire.
Zeph's words hadn't sounded concerned, but Ferondir knew his friend had been worried about him. He also knew the hug put them both at ease, even if it didn't show.
"And I remember everything. I'm so sorry, Zeph, it must have been hard to lose me." Ferondir pushed Zeph back to arms length, and looked into his face again. "I'm okay now." He released his friend's shoulder. "I'm okay now."
"Ahem!"
Ferondir spun around at the inhuman voice.
"Yeet!"
He looked around for the source of the sound. Ravoo? Shia? The Zora?
"What?" he asked, hoping this time he could locate the emanation.

[Mostach]

Who: Ravoo
When: Day 7, Morning
Where: Ven's Study
What: Talking to a plant

Ravoo heard something squeak "Yeet!", he turned to the source of the sound. Why is there a monster in here? Does one of the party member's own this little thing? he thought to himself as he looked at the little floroot.
"Who you? Who is own you?" he asked.

Day 7 (Morning)/Guzore/20/Where: Veneficus' Private Study/With: Everyone

Guzore watched as Shia and Della comforted Sapphire and Ferondir comforted Zeph. They all seemed to have gone through hard times and had tragic backstories, but here he was sitting here with no way to relate. The worst he'd seen had been on this adventure when Amethyst was killed. He shivered at the thought of losing another party member.
Yeet!
Guzore snapped back to reality and looked at the Floroot, looking up at him. He had almost forgotten that Veneficus mentioned it being able to talk.
OH! AMAZING! Brother, how does it feel to be able to speak?
