Monthly Mingle Log

Another month has passed and it is time for another oppertunity to mingle. Knowing of the curse that haunts the foreigners, Station Master has taken extra care to plan this party and the preparations only during the daylight hours. Wouldn't want to cause a giant panic, right?

Today, the little tucked away part of the plaza has been livened up with a host of spooky decorations, black cats and witches, skeletons and tomb stones, they have all been placed amongst the food tables, allowing for a casual halloween-ish mood. There are also a lot of pumpkins there, freshly prepared especially for this feast.

The tables of food are back too, filled to the brim with pumpkin pies, pumpkin squash, pumpkin cups cakes, honestly, you can put a pumpkin in and it is there. There are also large bowls of candy, free for the taking.

Naturally the two booths are there again, the one belonging to the welcoming committee, for any new (or old) character with a burning question, and the one belonging to the host club. Who knows what theme they have this week. Only way to find out is to check it out!

Finally, part of the plaza has been set up to allow for the talent contest that was to be held here, organized by a few of the foreigners themselves. Maybe it is time to check it out and see if there are any cool talents on display? Or maybe you have your own talent to display. If so, feel free to visit the show.

As every month, an invitation had gone out to all the foreigners in the day leading up to the party, reminding them of the party, the date, the times, and this time, attached had been an invitation to come dressed up. They might not be able to celebrate Halloween during the evening hours, but maybe a slightly late Halloween party would lift the spirits anyway? Station Master has certainly joined in himself too. For a day, he has exchanged his trusty cap for the scariest thing he could possible think of: a familiar white nurse's cap. 2spooky.

You wish it was.

I see. [The phrase is contemplative and rather drawn out. As he realizes that it is Zelda he adds...] Your highness.

You're really expecting fights to break out over this curse?

Someone attempted to strangle me just last night due to the illusions they were seeing, so I would say it is a possibility, yes.

[It had pretty much just been the last straw. When things come crashing down, it's almost instinctual to hide behind the mask of Sheik. It's how he lived for seven years.]
malik_caesar: (Disappointed)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I assume you're safe now princess... prince? [Sheik's obviously not seriously injured as he's standing right here and talking with Malik at the welcoming committee booth. Still, it only seems polite to inquire about his well being.]
zelda_hylia: The Sheikah (Sheik)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm doing fine, I'm uninjured.

[A little bit of light bruising, but that was easily healed. He almost protests the use of the title immediately - Sheik is not royalty, he's a Sheikah - but he's well aware of how absolutely insane that sounds and doesn't want to come off as having some sort of multiple personality disorder.]

Do not worry about the technicalities. If you'd like, you can call me Sheik.
malik_caesar: Ah ha! (Amused)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Having just been introduced to an individual with multiple personality disorder, he's trying to be accommodating as possible.]

All right Sheik. Nice to meet you. If you ever need to relax a little you're welcome to come see me at the Golden Victory for a drink. There's also quite a bit of tea available if you would prefer.

[He's uncertain if Sheik shares Zelda's preference for the warm herbal drink.]
zelda_hylia: The Sheikah (Sheik)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ah? No, it is... it's not like that. I had to hide for quite some time back home, this was my disguise. I am simply accustomed to being called Sheik when I transform like this.

[He thinks I'm insane. It definitely pricks at him the wrong way. Sheik was there back home, Impa had called him forth to keep her safe. He was gone now that his job was complete, that's all.]

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
So you're not going to have some drinks with me down at the bar?
zelda_hylia: The Sheikah (Sheik)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm saying, there is no need for the "nice to meet you". We are already acquainted.

[There's the huffy princess he knows.]

I do not go to bars.
malik_caesar: I knew it. (Troll)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He mutters.]Yep. Definitely Princess Zelda.

Excuse my boldness your highness.
zelda_hylia: The Sheikah (Sheik)

YOU ARE NOT EXCUSED.

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[No. Not Zelda, Sheik. The urge to correct the usage of the title is there yet again. Maybe he needs to just stay in today rather than work on the Welcoming Committee after all...]

It is fine. I am aware it's a somewhat odd transformation. I just feel more combat ready like this.

malik_caesar: Ah ha! (Amused)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Then we should spar at some point. Just two men testing themselves against each other. You know I'm an adept spellcaster not to mention a master of the bladerang.

Afterwards, we'll grab a few drinks, laugh, talk about old times, and peruse the fine women around us.

[Chivalry, at least for Malik, extends primarily for women. Talking to the male version of Zelda puts Malik in quite a different position and point of view.]
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Sheik - totally unamused)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheik seems just fine when he mentions the sparring, but he looks distinctly unamused at what follows.]

I am not interested in picking up women.

[Or men, or anything inbetween! He's dating Guy!]

Perhaps we could spar sometime, though.

[Throwing a few deku nuts into this guy's face might be a good form of stress relief, and it's not good to get rusty.]
malik_caesar: (Default)

Sheik declined his invitation to the bro-zone.

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-05 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I never said anything about picking up women. Merely appreciating them.

[He becomes a bit more serious.]

If you can't relax, then you'll eventually break. At the least sparring can help blow off some steam.
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Sheik - embarrassed)

How exactly does one "bro"?

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-05 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[He squirms uncomfortably. Zelos, Guy, Gamzee, and now Malik. Is he really that uptight? It's hard to not be tense when your worst fears were just played out to you all night long!]

I... yes, I suppose that is true.
malik_caesar: That's right. (Sly)

You read the code, you should know.

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-07 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Malik pauses a moment.]

Which part? About relaxing or sparring?
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Sheik - embarrassed)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-07 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Relaxing. I have been told that I am not very good at it.

[It had never been a problem when he was a child, but he never fully learned to stop after those seven years on the run. He learned the value of relaxing, certainly, and even encouraged others to do it - but he was not good at it beyond getting adequate rest and food.]
malik_caesar: (Disappointed)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-07 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It appears not. Royalty and... [Malik gestures at Sheik's outfit, not quite sure exactly what he is. shy assassins do tend to have trouble with it.

Believe it or not, proper relaxing technique needs to be learned and practiced just like any other skill; especially if it doesn't come naturally.
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Sheik - unmasked)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-07 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Assassin?

[He looks at himself. Well, that is one of the many capacities a Sheikah could serve in. The "shy" remark comes as somewhat of a surprise, though.]

I have not heard such a thing before. How do you learn it?
malik_caesar: (Scolding)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-07 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Always covering his face. He could of course be some eccentric aerobics instructor considering the spandex-like outfit.]

You look like an assassin. Who else would wear tights all the time?

I was inviting you with me in order to demonstrate, but clearly you weren't interested.

[He folds his arms over his chest. RUDE.]
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Sheik - unmasked)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Since the clothing is tight-fitting, it does not get in the way when maneuvering or get caught on anything.

[He adjusts his mask, finally feeling a little more comfortable. Wait, going out drinking and looking at women was Malik trying to teach someone how to relax?

...well, Zelos seemed to have similar ideas. Nothing else worked.]


Ah? I apologize. Perhaps after this curse is over, then.
malik_caesar: I knew it. (Troll)

[personal profile] malik_caesar 2012-11-08 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Apology accepted.

You know how to get a hold of me. After the curse or if you have trouble right now. Combat is... was my life.

[He turns making his preparations to walk off, but decides he has more to add. He turns his head to the side as he speaks back to Sheik.]

Sometimes the most difficult enemy to defeat is ourselves.

[With that fine, and appropriate, cliche, Malik holds up his hand and waves it a bit.]

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-11-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[It's certainly an enemy Sheik will never be able to beat. He raises his hand to return the wave, promptly taking on that distant expression again.]
