[Video / Action for Ordo 2-3]

[Backdated to Saturday 17th, day after the animal break]

[Video]

Look what I found!

[That sure is a guinea pig Link's holding up to the SFC. The guinea pig, to its credit, seems pretty chill - it twitches its nose at being picked up, but is otherwise rather relaxed. Link sets him down again in his lap, readjusting the SFC a little.]

I found him in my closet this morning. But I don't know what he is or what he eats or anything, and I think he's hungry.

[These are the eyes of a sad, hungry guinea pig who's just spent the night in a closet. Someone help?]

If anyone knows anything about them, let me know!

[Action]

[A short while after that broadcast, Link can be found in the kitchen, offering the guinea pig different treats to try and see what actually... works. Said guinea pig is happily chilling on the table on a tea towel, watching Link in something that could possibly be bemusement.]

He's cute! I bet he eats deku seeds. Everything eats deku seeds.

[After seeing that post, you bet Zelda's headed right downstairs.]

...what is that? Is it a giant rat without a tail?

[Link. Link, no. Why would you bring a rodent into the house?!]

Oh - yeah, probably! I don't have any right now, though... do you think the store would have them?

It's not a rat! ...I don't know what it is, actually.

[Whatever he is, he's getting scooped up and shown to Zelda.] See? He's pretty cute! I found him in my closet and the SFC is saying that lots of animals got out, so I guess he got lost...

[Sniff, sniff. The guinea pig twitches its nose at Zelda.]

((OOC: Phone tag! Nice timing, internet. No, really.))

I see. Well then, let's take him back where he belongs now.

[Is that something Link was trying to feed the animal or a little poop on the table? Please say it was something he was trying to feed it.]

[It's a raisin! No fear here. ~~The little poop is in the tea towel.~~]

[Also, he deflates a little.] Oh... do we have to...?

[Ahh, no, don't look so sad Link!]

Well, that is... he would be happier at his home, don't you think? We don't even know what he is or how to take care of him.

[Never mind that Duke would know.]

That's why I asked! So I can learn. Besides, I didn't know anything about chocobos at first, but Asi's fine, right?

[See, Zelda? He's even willing to do research!]

Yes, but Asi stays outdoors so it is not a problem.

[Ugh. Why is she incapable of saying no to Link? He just looks so excited about it, though! Zelda kneels down to peer at the guinea pig closely.]

Look at its teeth. It probably eats similar food to a rabbit.

[She straightens up.]

If you want to keep it, you will have to build it a hutch outside until you're positive it's absolutely litter trained! If this sort of animal can even be trained.

Okay! I guess it's not like the weather's bad, huh? [He gives her a grateful smile, then tucks the guinea pig under his arm and goes to the fridge.]

Rabbits eat carrots, right? I saw a picture of one eating a carrot.

Yes, they do. I would offer it a variety of vegetables and plenty of water. We can ask Duke what it is, he knows quite a bit about animals.

[He'll probably even have a conversation with it. Maybe having it around won't be so terrible.]

Okay. Hopefully he'll like them! [Now, what do they have... collecting a carrot, some lettuce, and a few grapes.]

[Hmm. That is a pretty big carrot in comparison to the little, little guinea pig... Link sets it down on the tea towel again, and chops a bit of carrot off.]

Have you seen any of the animals around? I saw a lot that I didn't see in Hyrule.

[Now, what would be a good-sized water bowl...]

Really? I think I might have seen a pony and a goat, but nothing unusual like this... thing.

[Not that goats were all that common in Hyrule, but they were present in the world - just not that particular country (yet).]

It is to be expected, though. Vatheon is connected to many worlds, we will see lots of animals we are unfamiliar with.

I saw a pony too! They're much smaller than horses. [He considers for a moment.] Are there any goats in Hyrule? I never saw any. And the man who runs a lot said there's no rabbits left any more. They all got hunted.

[That's a sad expression there, yeah.]

There are still rabbits in other areas of the world. Goats, as well. Our world is more than just Hyrule, after all.

[Zelda was taught about other places even if she never visited. She'd like to. Someday, she wants to see the whole world.]

That's good. I've seen some here, they're really cute.

[Guinea pig gets a scritch, and he puts the plate of chopped veggies and grapes in front of him.] Do you think anyone else from our world will come here? Not just from different times, just from places that aren't Hyrule. [He's... not thinking about why seeing those places himself is longer an option for him.]

Edited 2012-11-22 06:46 (UTC)

It's definitely possible! I think it would be nice. There are Zora who live in the sea as well, they'd do quite well here.

[More than anyone, though, she wants Impa or Sheik to show up...]

[Oh, he knows that feeling. If Saria or Navi or Sheik, Sheik properly, arrived, he'd be completely happy.]

[He makes a wordless sound at that.] The sea is so big... is it like that on Hyrule as well? When I first saw it on the island, it looked like it went forever.

It's a guinea pig. I'm not sure, but I think they eat things like lettuce, grass... and carrots maybe?

_{[He's never took care of one before. He isn't sure. Jolly would know for sure, unless...]}

The one in the Nostalgia Nook might. Umm...

[He peers into the screen closely.]

What is it, anyway?

A guinea pig, huh? [Link jots it down on a piece of paper ('giny pig', good luck with that, Link) - he'll head to the library after this.] I've already given him some lettuce and carrots since Zelda said he looked a bit like a rabbit, but grass should be easy too!

[Said guinea pig is getting held up, and Link carefully makes him wave one paw.] Thanks for telling me! Have you see many before?

Well, I'm not really sure. That's why I asked, maybe someone knows how to take care of them.

No problem.

_{[He makes a thoughtful look]}

No. Not really. We have a lot of work so I don't think anyone in the Family would keep them as pets... unless... _{[he makes a face.]} ...Jolly had one or a few of them.

_{[Jolly could only experiment on those poor things.

Though last time Libertà heard about the alchemist, he experimented on octopuses.]}

[She tries desperately to not think of what Ganondorf told them of the future, but she's not too successful. The sea on Hyrule...]

If you take a boat out, you can't see anything but water. It's massive.

Oh - does Jolly like animals too? [Well. This conversation is going to get awkward.]
