Let's All Go To Hyrule!!! - VGF

CuccoLady · 12-14-2007, 08:37 PM

OK, everyone... this is a little thread where we let our imaginations, RPing skills, and Zelda geek-ness take us to that wonderful land we all adore; a.k.a. Hyrule.

Now!

Here, what you do is you pick a character from the game (This time will be based off of OoT), or you make up your own character that fits the game. Then, we just make up a story as we go!! Kind of like an interactive fanfiction...

(BTW, if you RP a made-up character, you don't have to do a bio or huge description... just state the name and race and maybe a few abilities. Nothing huge.)

EDITZORZ--- this game is based off of the OoT map. The cities, people, races, et cetera are all based off of Ocarina of Time, Kid era (so you can live in Hyrule Marketplace if you want). As long as you stay in the OoT map, with characters either from the game or of the game's races, then you may play as you wish.

Anyway, I'll be RPing as the Kakariko cucco lady.

To get the conversation going...

[ic]

WHERE THE HELL WERE THEY??

Those blasted cuccos never came when called. And it's always a hassle trying to find someone to gather them up for me... I swear!! It's so hard to find good help these days; and I'm running out of bottles and purple rupees.

Now WHERE did the damn birds go off to now... strangely, they weren't in their usual hiding places...

"How odd!! I'll need a real pro to find those birds this time before they go attack some poor bloke."
[/ic]

You all may begin!! Make it intersting and have fun, guys. This is made to have fun and let your imaginations run wild!! So RP away...

...and before you even THINK of spamming, think of Wy. Think of exactly how merciful he is.

There you go.

NOW START!!

Blake · 12-14-2007, 08:47 PM

Hooray for roleplaying! I'll develop more when I have energy.

Name: Swordmaster(SM)
Age: 37

Bio: He's the magic carpet merchant in Haunted Wasteland. Sells a mysterious item that NO ONE could ever figure out for 300 rupees. He teaches sword lessons as well and specializes in some karate.

Items:
Two shortswords and bombchus

Quote: "Tonight, I shall chop the moon into a million pieces!"

Is this topic going to be like a battle between good or evil or is it going to be like as if we live in Hyrule and go on with our daily jobs?

CuccoLady · 12-14-2007, 08:59 PM

^It's going to be an 'anything goes' topic. If some random bloke sets fire to a village, other people have to run from said village and/or put the fire out.

I know having a limited amount of rules is dangerous; I'll just say this.

DO WHATEVER YOU WANT THAT WILL BENEFIT THE GAME.

Advancing the plot in some way, interacting with other characters, being funny... these are positive things.

FLAMING AND SPAM ARE NOT PRODUCTIVE POSTS.

In other words, have fun with this, but if we start having problems with constant flaming, spam, or idiocy I will ask Wyborn or Boo to properly teach you a lesson.

And I'll get really angry, and though I may not be a mod, I can still be nasty when I'm angry.

On that happy note, have fun... as I've said, use your imagination to make this a fun experience!

I wanna go to Koholit Island and see Marin! -CSM

Rayman FREAK · 12-14-2007, 10:06 PM

[Inside the windmill]

"Go around! Go around and around and around! What fun! I'm so happy! I'm... I... err, uh..."

The scrawny little man sighed. Lately, he'd noticed that his favorite (and only) hobby of playing his strange music box thing didn't thrill him the way it did before.

"It's been ages since I've seen the town," he mused. "I wonder what it's like out there now, after all this time."

He set his odd instrument beside him on the floor, and looked to the door. His legs were exhausted from standing all day and all night, and it took a great effort for him to walk across the room to the door.

"Do I really want to do this? What will they all think of me? It's been so long..."

Hesitantly, he turned the knob and creaked the door open just a crack, the natural light practically burning his eyes. He paused, then purposefully forced the door all the way open and stepped outside...

CuccoLady · 12-14-2007, 10:18 PM

I froze. The carpenters froze. The weird green-garbed shrimp a few feet away froze. Hell, I'll bet even those damned hiding cuccos froze!! EVERYONE froze, throwing their gaze toward the creaking entrance to the Windmill.

A grinning, scrawny, hunched man was seen opening the door, squinting towards the rising sun in front of him.

"Wh-Who?! How?!!!"

I was utterly dumbfounded. It'd been years since that weird Windmill guy had stepped outside.

Hell, here's someone new!! Someone else to pester...

"Sir, have you any time? My cuccos have run away, and I can't get them myself because I have allergies... touching them gives me goose bumps... heehe... so, sir, could you round them up for me? I'll give you something good, made of fine glass, if you help me..."

Daos · 12-14-2007, 10:26 PM

I may do something as soon as I can figure out someone interesting. Maybe Dampe? Hehehe.

Irkenwarrior12 · 12-14-2007, 10:59 PM

*When does this take place?*

Name: Clyde

Age: 22

Race: Hylian

Bio: A sandy haired youth fresh from Castle Town's premier college, Clyde is an aspiring scholar and archaeologist. He has a fascination of Kakriko Village and the Gerudo Desert.

Clyde grimaced, squinting against the sun's glare. That damn bird was still there. Every day it perched on the tree out in the middle of the lake, watching Clyde work. It hadn't done anything...yet. With a loud snort, the young man turned back to the river's mouth, admiring all the things he had managed to pry from the hard ground.

Far across the water, the owl hooted.

Rayman FREAK · 12-14-2007, 11:02 PM

Quite disoriented and somewhat shocked, the scrawny man squinted back at the tall woman who had come running up to him. He didn't recognize her, though after all, he didn't much expect to recognize anyone from the outside.

Not at all sure what to make of this overly talkative (well, to him it seemed) woman, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Now just what's all the commotion about around he..."

In an instant, he was a crumpled heap on the ground. He looked up from the grass to see a Cucco running around in circles, "BUCKAW!"-ing its head off. He soon realized the bird had crashed full-speed into his head.

His hearing was hampered from the blow, but he distinctly heard the tall woman gleefully shout, "You found one! You found one!"

What a day to go back outside, he thought to himself...

I named that crow near the bridge closest to the island Jimmy the Crow, no lie. Some reason that crow always fascinated me.

Edit: Sorry no RP, just wanted to point that out. Tomorrow I'll try whipping something up.

CuccoLady · 12-14-2007, 11:14 PM

I had too much fun playing with her character to make her my own... she ACTS nice, but she's really a hyper sarcastic airhead!!

Oh, and I've edited the inital post to help people understand the setting. Whoops.

Now.

[ic]
"Wow!! You must be great with cuccos!! Could you find the other fifty for me??

"

The man nearly fainted.

"Fi-fif-fifty...??"

He could barely manage to speak.

Honestly, how hard was it to understand?!

"Yeah!! See, a few days ago I happened across a bunch of them near the middle of the field near the ranch, and made them my own... but they ran off with my other seven cuccos... and they seem attracted to you!! Could you round up the rest??"

The man, black-eyed by the chicken's attack, toddled off to get away from the crazy airhead.

Irkenwarrior12 · 12-14-2007, 11:23 PM

"With this much stuff, I'll have more than enough rupees to fund some more expeditions!" he grinned. A quick snach of thought drifted through Clyde's mind. *Enough to drain that well in the middle of Kakariko.*

Rayman FREAK · 12-15-2007, 08:13 PM

The strange little man was too weak to run, but he walked briskly down the hill to get away from the tall woman and her insane request. His stiff joints creaked an snapped as he moved, but he limped on.

He shortly realized that the "BUCKAW" of the Cucco did not diminish. He turned around to find that it was, indeed, following him. Shortly thereafter, another Cucco flew down from behind and began trodding alongside the other.

Though somewhat confused, the scrawny man was more annoyed than worried; that is, until another Cucco joined in. And another. And yet another.

Soon there were at least 10 birds in pursuit of the music man, and they were moving closer and "BUCKAW"-ing louder with each step. Panicked, the man broke into a steady trot, the fastest he could muster, and began crying out,

"Somebody, get these things away from meeeee!"...

CuccoLady · 12-15-2007, 08:23 PM

"Oh, my!! You are a natural at finding cuccos!!!"

I was surprised. The guy didn't seem like a tip-top condition cucco rounder-upper, but nonetheless he was getting the job done.

Finally, my goosebump allergy scam was paying off. Honestly, people believe anything... who in sam hell actually is allergic to the things they own?? People are stupid. Hehe...

I walked off, stood next to my pen.

"BUCKAAWWW!!" Was heard from the distance.

"My, he's caught quite a few!! I wonder why he's taking so long to get them to this pen."

"Wait... I never did tell him where to put the cuccos, did I? Ah, well. He'll figure it out."

Irkenwarrior12 · 12-15-2007, 11:51 PM

Working like a madman, Clyde stacked the old Zora artifacts into a old burlap bag before hoisting it over his back. Shooting a glance behind him, the archaeologist was assured that no one was watching. (Exept that owl...)

"Good. No Zoras."

And with a final glimpse at the owl across the lake, Clyde hitched up his rented donkey cart,. Next stop: The Hylian Natural History Museum, and hopefully a trip to the bank.

Rayman FREAK · 12-17-2007, 11:27 AM

Unable to keep his breathing in check, the scrawny man began to stumble and become light-headed. In a matter of moments, he flopped pathetically on his stomach, his brittle frame taking the impact badly. Fortunately for him, he was already out of it and felt no pain.

He awoke late in the day, just before sundown. Now he was sore all over, and could not yet hoist himself up. He lay there alone, the cuccos hving left him hours ago.

"What was all that about?" pondered the dazed soul.

In an instant, he noticed that something was amiss: that thing he had kept in his right pocket...

In shock, he managed to scramble to his feet. He searched himself frantically for that thing, but it was nowhere to be found...

CuccoLady · 12-17-2007, 01:59 PM

Now this was odd.

The cuccos left the man who'd found them alone and flew towards their pen on their own... it usually takes a green-garbed hero shrimp carrying them around whilst being scratched to death in order to get them to come in.

But towards me they flew, and landed in their pen like... well, normal and well-behaved birds.

Something was clearly not right... usually these guys would keep attacking a poor soul forever until they left the village; but today they left on their own.

The cuccos were odd... their eyes seemed glazed over, their movements swayed and almost drunken. They seemed to belong to another being, as if being controlled...

Then I noticed a strange, sparkling device in one of the birds' beaks.

"Let me have that-" I reached for the device, tenderly retrieving it.

I grabbed it...

It was...

So...
beautiful...
So beautiful...

So...
so...
I WILL SERVE THE STONE I HOLD IN MY HAND.

No one shall have it!!
No!!!

In anger, I retrieved a knife I'd always kept in my skirt pocket in case of emergencies. This was one!! I could see it. The villagers looked normal.. BUT THEY WERE WATCHING.

THEY WANTED THE STONE!!

BUT IT'S MINNEE!!!!!!!!!

I wildly swung at all of the carpenters, sending them running. I grabbed a cucco and flew about the town, attacking the villagers who wanted to get the stone away from me.

BUT IT WAS MINE. I'LL MAKE THEM ALL PAY!
