Day 1, Night, Bombers' Hideout
Unnoticed by our heroes, currently inside the Bombers' Hideout, the evening matured into a full-moon (quite) night, announcing that the time for Day 1 was creeping towards an end. However, their quest still forced them to move on, whatever the time. Sleep could wait.
As the ladder ended, Link looked around and found himself in total contrast to what he'd seen so far. The room before him was very colorful, with stairs leading up and a scarecrow right in front of him - which proceeded to introduce himself.
"HAY DAHLING," The rather... eccentric straw figure shouted, gleefully, "WHO ARE YOU CUTIES?"
"Um... I-I, er…" Link stuttered.
"We're looking for a telescope," Tatl cut in for his partner, "Do you know anything about it?"
"TEHLESCOPE? MAH BOI!"
She's a girl!
"WOULDN'T YOU SWEETIES RATHER ENJOY ALL THIS COLOR?! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! IT LOOKS LIKE THE ROOM IS BLOOMING! OOOH, YES! BLOOMING! IT'S PREEEE-AAA-TTTYYYY!"
If he starts singing, I'll-
"OOOOOOOH I THINK I'LL SING! CARE TO JOIN ME, SWEETIE PIES?! ONE, TWO, THREE! IT'S RAINING M-"
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP!" Link shouted, halting the scarecrow's emotional momentum.
"Aw, you're no fun, sweetie!" it answered, with a normal voice this time.
"I don't want fun," Tatl said flatly, "I want the telescope."
"Upstairs, dahling! Just follow these BEAUTIFUL STAIRS WITH SUCH INTENSE COLORS, OH, IT'S-"
"FUCK COLORS! Just go away!"
"Awwww, OK. But hey, wanna learn a s-"
"No!" Link shouted, exasperated. Bet he was going to teach me how to play Stayin' Alive if I had my Ocarina.
Moving on, Link and Tatl climbed the stairway to the top of the Hideout - which was, looking out of the window that greeted them, actually at the ground level of Clock Town - and there, they found what they were looking for alright: a huge telescope, and an old man beside it.
"Who are you?"
"Doesn't matter. Telescope." Tatl said quickly, tired of explaining everything to everyone.
"Now I can't have any more kids messin' around with my telescope, ya know! The other day, I tell ya, them Bombers brought a strange kid, such an ill-mannered brat, I tell ya! And it almost broke them lens of my here baby, ya know! Why that reminds me of back in the day where kids actually had respect for their eld-"
"Can I get you a Viagra or something to make you shut up?" Link hissed, glaring at the elder.
"Nah. I'm good, I tell ya. You can have a darn look. Kid's probably up there in the Clock Tower."
Skull Kid, huh? Let's look around...
Aside from a Deku vendor flying around with some bags full of merchandise, Link wasn't finding anything in the huge, spreading field beyond the observatory. The hideout actually went undergrount outside Clock Town, so they were standing in foreign land; sure enough, Link could see the towering Clock Tower through the telescope lens.
"Well? Found him?" Tatl demanded, impatient.
"Wait, hang on." Oooooh, lookie here. There's a Deku Baba looking around for something. And that is a... Bombchu? Well, something like that... and it's heading towards the Baba... hey! No! Don't eat it, stupid, it's a bomb- OW, HAHAHAHAHA, HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE, DEKU BABA! HAHAHAHA, oh man, this is so much f-
"FOUND HIM?!"
"Wah! Mercy! I'm sorry!" Link snapped out of it and accidentally pushed a button, which activated the scope's zoom feature. "Hey... I think I saw him! There! At the top! Tatl, zoom in some more!"
Skull Kid was there alright, dancing around. He seemed to notice the lens pointed at him, because he started to taunt Link. Then, he looked up, as did Link with the scope's lens. The moon's ugly face dropped what looked like to be a tear from its left eye.
The moon's crying? Why is every single thing PMSing around here, man? Seriously, hormones these d- WHAT THE?!
The tear, which was more like a meteorite, crashed onto the ground just outside the observatory, making a huge noise and shaking the ground. When Link got up, he quickly pointed the lens at the Skull Kid once more, only to see him shake his… behind… at him and disappear.
THAT SON OF A B-! Who does he think he is to wave his ass around like that? Kim Kardashian?!
"What's he doing, Link?" Tatl asked, concerned with Link's angry face.
"Nevermind," he answered, "Kid's already gone."
"Well let's see what happened outside then! Move on, jackass!"
"…" Link stood there, looking at Tatl, still looking bitter.
"... What?"
... Somehow I knew she was going to go back to bossy mode.
Day 1, Night, Termina Field
A starry night greeted our heroes as they stepped outside the observatory into what seemed to be some sort of courtyard. From there, all the fences still made Termina Field, the mainland of Termina, visible in all its beauty.
"Well, what do we have here?" Tatl said nonchalantly, while floating around what seemed to be a shining stone.
"What DO we have? It's... a teardrop?"
"Well, it is shaped like one... it sure is shining!"
"Shining... why does that ring a bell?" Hold on. Hmm... it has to do with shining things... I'm looking for something... something... well, something...
"... What's wrong, Link?"
"Something... we're looking for something…"
"... SHINY." They said in unison as Link tucked the jewel under his vest.
"Well," Link sighed, relieved, "That's one more for the score."
"What's next?"
"Well, we're more than done with the Bombers, we reassembled the Great Fairy, found the shiny jewel for the Deku weirdo... I guess all we have to do is find and screw the Skull Kid."
"But where is he? I thought he had disappeared!"
"Not quite," Link said, now looking at the Clock Tower, far away, "I caught a glimpse of him going inside the Clock Tower from the ceiling. He must be at the top."
"Well…" Tatl muttered, floating around him.
"Let's call it quits for today, Tatl. We can sort this out tomorrow, it will still be the second day and the kid's going nowhere."
"Link…" Tatl, again, muttered, startled by Link's "badass-jackass" personality swings.
"Come on. We gotta sleep." Link said, going inside to negotiate a stay in the observatory with the old man.
... Also, I gotta jack off. It's been hours!
Day 2, Morning, Bombers' Hideout - Observatory
As soon as he heard the cry of a Cuckoo, Link got out of the makeshift bed he had laid out on the floor and went outside. Morning greeted him with a fair weather, the sounds of nature announcing the beggining of a new day. As he stood daydreaming, however, the wind blew, as if warning that the picture could change.
"Morning," Tatl said, lazily getting out of Link's hat.
I wonder how it's like to sleep inside of a hat that has not seen a single laundry for more than a year. "Hey there," Link answered, "You up for today?"
"I think so. What's the plan?"
"First of all we should bring that stone to the Deku." And if he refuses, I'm going to show him how 'shiny' my bubbles can be.
"Guess you're right. Well, what are you waiting for? Move it!"
"DON'T RUSH- oh, why do I even bother…"
Day 2, Morning, Clock Town - South
As soon as they were making their way to the Deku Flower situated near the Clock Tower entrance, Link felt something touch his wooden forehead. Intrigued, he looked up at the sky and did not like what he had just seen.
"Rain! Damn it! How can this be?"
"Well, there WERE some clouds on the sky…"
"But it was such a beautiful sky! How dare those damn clouds ruin it!"
"Well, don't be a bitch about it. You're not the only one that's going to get wet."
"What do you mean?"
"Over there," Tatl said, floating towards a man dressed in quite... interesting clothes; a red hat, a plain white tunic and sandals, along with a red bag. He looked pretty distraught by the rain, but, nevertheless, he made his way, weirdly marching, towards a mailbox near the Laundry Pool.
The fuck is that? A Roman firefighter?
Link then made his way towards the man to ask him some questions.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"YAH"
"WHOA!" Link shouted, flinching at the man's cry, "What's wrong?"
"YAH"
"Listen, can I as-"
"YAH'
What, is that your mating call or something?!
"Link," Tatl said, "I think that's about enough info from this guy."
"Yeah... such brilliant poniters he's giving." The people I find here sure make me feel like I'm in an "alternate dimension", alright.
When Link and Tatl approached the Deku Flower, they did not need to wait any longer; the Deku's head popped out of the hole, his gaze set at his fellow Deku companion.
"Yo," the Deku said, "Youse need sumtin'?"
"Actually-" Tatl started, only to be silenced again by voices coming from within the flower.
"Wait a sec, there. Be back in a jiffy."
"... Oddball." Link said, puzzled.
"Yeah, I wonder what's up with him," Tatl answered.
"He just left without even telling what w-"
"SHUT YER TRAP, WOMAN!" The two could hear the hobo's yelling from the insides of the flower. "AIN'T NONE O' YA BUSINESS! GO BACK TO MAKIN' DAT DAMN PANCAKE! WHAT?! WHADDYA SAY?! AIN'T NO BUSTY BLONDE WOMAN AT DE DOOR! DA FUCK IS YER PROBLEM?!"
Well, I'm blonde, just not... busty. I hope.
"Why are you squeezing your chest?" Tatl said, staring at a surprised Link.
"Nothing!" Gah! I should be more careful!
"Hey, now you tell m-"
Tatl, however, was interrupted by the Deku, back from inside, now full-body out.
"Can you people let me finish a goddamn sentence?!" Tatl shouted, glowering at the Dekus.
"Sorry bro," the hobo said to Link, not even acknowledging the fairy's presence, "Just solving sumkinda pipe problem down dere."
Don't call me "bro", you misogynistic scumbag. "Do you keep a house inside that flower?"
"Sure do. Dis ain't no ordinary flower like dose you're used to seein' 'round here. Dis here is a YELLOW FLOWA. Deeper 'n a throat."
"What? 'Deeper than a throat'? How does that work?" Tatl cut in.
Don't explain don't explain don't explain don't explain
"... And since it deep, it means ya can fly higher. Wanna give it a spin, yo?"
"Well, I don't mind…"
"Then you need DA LAND DEED."
"Oh yeah." He did it on purpose!
"Gotta give me shine, boy. Where's them grillz?"
"Here it is," Link said, showing the Moon's Tear to the Deku.
"OOOOOOH BOY! DAT'S SOME SHINE! I LIKE DAT! HERE'S DA DEED!"
"Glad you like it." Link said, while tucking away the land deed to the flower. The Deku burrowed back underground, and then Link could hear some scuffle deep down.
"I'M GONNA BLIND YA, WOMAN!"
Wait, that's why he wanted a shiny object?! I hope I'm not tried as his accomplice if he does it! "Tatl?"
"Yes?" She answered, and Link pointed to the guard silently. Immediately, Tatl caught his message and went to inform the guards that a domestic violence incident was to occur.
Suddenly, a female Deku figure popped out, flying away and hanging at her Deku flowers for dear life while her loving husband gave chase, eventually catching up to her outside Clock Town. The guard called for reinforcements, which chased after both of them.
"Let's go, Link. I don't want to see how this ends…"
"Me neither. Just give me a sec here…" Link said, while preparing to launch.
As he spun around and went down inside the yellow flower, Tatl overheard two of the workers - who were helping with the building across the Clock Tower - talking to each other. Getting closer, she heard the men say:
"Listen, I don't give a damn. You can say whatever you like, but there's no way you can be right."
"Why not? You know I'm always right!"
"Do you think this is some trifling matter? This is serious! You can't go around claiming this kind of stuff! We're talking about a delicate subject here! People get killed for this!"
"But that's why I'm claiming it! What's the problem?"
"What do YOU think the problem is?! Keep your voice down so that no one hears you!"
Tatl wondered what sort of things they could be discussing with such seriousness and gusto. Maybe they were up to no good? She was going to ask them a couple of questions. Running through her wits to find the right ones, she made her way towards the two men...
"I think a change was already natural, the process was just sped up."
"Look, man, this is the last time I'll say it: Phil Jackson needs to GO!"
"Name three better managers to replace him!"
... Tatl stood there, looking dumbstruck. She listened to some more of their banter and even got some good info about the town, some of which she already knew. But when she was trying to make sense of it all, a noise startled her: the rustling of leaves, and then...
"-aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"LINK?" Tatl yelled to Link, who was floating waaaaay above her.
I didn't think it would go THIS high! That's higher than that time I drank Blue Potion and had a mushroom! Seriously, I wanna get down! There!
Tatl gave meaning to the phrase Rolling On The Floor Laughing while Link landed on a platform just above the main entrance of the Clock Tower. In front of him, he saw a door.
"Hey, yellow clown," he shouted towards Tatl, "The hell's this?"
"T-that's…" Tatl said, trying to regain her composure, "… the door to the top floor of the Clock Tower."
"Ah! Is that where the Skull Kid is?"
"Yes it is."
"THEN LET'S GET IN! Wait... how do you open it?"
"Oh, I forg-"
"Ah! I remember! The A Button, right? Now where is that little blue son of a…"
"STOP IT! LINK, I'M SERIOUS, STOP!" Tatl panicked, then relaxed when she got Link's attention, "I overheard the workers down here saying that the door only opens at midnight on the day of the Carnival of Time."
"Carnival of... Time?" A bunch of clocks and watches parading together?
"Yeah. It's kind of a long story."
"... And you're not gonna tell me?"
"No."
Well aren't we blunt. "So, when is it?"
"I heard it's the third day, since in Termina the days only start at six o' clock in the morning…"
That style should be adopted worldwide. Period. "Well we have to wait some more then, right?"
"Yeah."
"Hmmm... What should we do then?"
"Maybe we should visit Stock Pot Inn." Tatl said, her whole form shining more strong.
"... I won't sustain this addiction of yours." Link said, turning his back and making his way to East Clock Town.
