Second Flight [Video]

[Pipit appears on the screen of the SFC looking very confused and holding a lantern with a yellow flame inside it. He looks from the lantern to the camera.]

Did someone leave this here for me? I found it when I woke up. Does anyone know what this is and why the flame won't go out? And...I can't let go of it. See?

[He ties to let go but it just hangs there, the bar still touching his palm.] I'm very confused.

It no doubt has something to do with the curse. Some other being from another world- or perhaps even your own- must possess a lantern of some kind, and that is what you are now.

At least, that would be my guess.

A curse? How was I cursed? I haven't done anything to anyone!

[A moment of silence. Then just an exasperated sigh.]

Has no one explained to you the nature of this place?

Well...some people did but I don't remember anyone mentioning curses.

Then allow me to explain. On occasion, this city will bring the vast majority under the influence of what is commonly referred to as a 'curse'. It is heralded by the coral and the tattoo on your person glowing. Afterwards, changes will occur.

For example, one week, the individuals of the city changed age, whether older or younger. On another occasion, we were bestowed floating bubbles which displayed our thoughts in one manner or another. There is quite the variety.

Then it is the Goddess Coral that does it? And the tattoo's are part of the magic. I see. Hmmm...

[Strangely enough he seems more intrigued than irritated or scared.]

Yes, the coral does certainly play a role in it.

I hope I have brought a bit more understanding to this event, then.

You have. Thank you very much for your help. My name is Pipit. What's yours?

You may call me Darkleer.

Considering we are all trapped here, it only makes sense to offer some assistance.

... Well. Have fun going through the week with only one free hand!

I will admit, it is going to be a challenge.

I just hope that it's not your good hand.

Luckily enough I can do most things with both my hands.

Ambidextrous? How useful!

Though you could write a book: The Adventures of Using Only One Hand.

[Pipit laughs.]

Maybe I could. Though it would be short since these curses only last a week or so, right?

Good for a simple read in-between invasions?

[Oh dear, he's pretty sure he recognises that lantern. Link peers worriedly at the image.]

["Is that a Poe lantern?" he asks - or tries to, somewhat hindered by the fact that he looks like this and all that can be heard is a,] Biii, Celebi?

[Pipit blinks at the strange creature that seems to be trying to talk to him through the SFC.]

Hmmm? Hello there, little thing. Can I help you?

Bii! [Okay, this isn't working. Carefully, the little creature sets down the SFC, and carefully pokes in a message with his stubby little fingers.]

itds linkj!1

[...Okay, sort of got it across...]

[Give him a moment as he stares at the text and blinks a few times. It finally clicks after a few minutes.]

...Link?

[Switching back to video to nod emphatically. It's pretty weird, right now!]

wokme ulp likle thios

curtse???

You woke up like this? Hmmm. It might have something to do with the curse.

[Leans in and looks hard at the second line and misinterprets it.]

Cute? I suppose you look sorta cute like that?

[Blinking those huge eyes, and then, very carefully and deliberately, tapping out,]

c u r s e!!!!

[There's a bit of a pout, there. He may not be able to talk much, but at least he has body language and facial expressions?]
