Thankyou to Tsumira (sketches and doodles, all right...), Twyla Zone (I haven't seen Tetra much lately, so I don't really know how she would respond to this kinda stuff... Did the pirates just forget about Link after he knocked into the Forbidden Fortress?!), LilFilipinoGurl (Namali's the one walking around with the clipboard --- the one that has normal hair ^_^;;;), Dragonbreath1 (yep, I thought it would make a nice one-shot, but it's fun to write more), iceprincess (yep, I'll throw in some yaoi, but not with characters anyone would expect unless they read the second chapter ^_^;;;), iceprincess again (yay! I'm not a nutcase in your eyes!!!), Tsumira again (thanks!), and Twyla Zone again (yep, first play through-- pretty pathetic, huh?).
And, regarding Rylasasin's review... Yeah, Link's not a fairy boy, but Prince Komali says this because of the whole "green outfit" thing. Komali probably has never heard of the whole Outset Island "let's dress our kids up in itchy costumes" thing, so when this kid shows up in the same kind of outfit Tingle wears... (and we all know Tingle wants to be a fairy) And Link/Medli? Hmmm... Sounds interesting... Dunno. Maybe. And I dunno if Tetra's gonna show up, 'cause I'm not really sure if this takes place during or after The Wind Waker... Yeah, doesn't she like turn into our beloved princess or something? I dunno, I read that somewhere... Yeah, thanks for the review!
Let's spin the wheel of Ritos... Today's Community Journal focuses on...
QUILL is not a mail tyrant!
[---]
ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!
The holiday seasons are coming up, and more cards will be sent! Be prepared to work more hours!!!
- Basht and Bisht
[---]
Okay! Namali, you'll be the alternate postman when you have nothing to check off on your clipboard. Hoskit, you'll help Koboli and Baito sort mail. Pashli, just figure out who needs more help and then help them, okay?
- Quill
[---]
You take this way too seriously, Quill. It's just a couple more stupid letters. How much harder can it be from last year?
- Akoot
[---]
You _are_ sort of a mail tyrant, Quill.
-Prince Komali
[---]
Oh, Komali, you can also help sort mail.
- Quill
[---]
Quill...
It's seriously not THAT important... We just wanted to make sure everyone noticed the announcement...
- Basht and Bisht
[---]
Lighten up, Quill!!! Seriously, you spend way too much time delivering mail. You need a vacation or something.
-Prince Komali
[---]
Not now, it's the mail-sending season! I can't take a vacation!!!! What if there are too many cards and you can't deliver them all and people won't get their cards and they'll send more letters asking why they didn't get cards which you won't be able to deliver because you're still backed up on the first batch and then people won't trust our mail-sending services and they won't send letters and we'll be out of a job!
- Quill
[---]
Quill, you need a vacation. I am ordering you on a vacation. You can take the journal with you and write down your thoughts and stuff, or not, but whatever the case, you are going on vacation tomorrow and you are staying on vacation for at least a day. That means 24 hours. So... Just leave. Go to Outset. It's nice and quiet.
- The Rito Chieftain
[---]
Hour 1
Well... Here I am, at Outset Island, at noon. It's very... Boring. And no one seems to want me to deliver anything, no matter how many times I ask. You'd think they would want me to return something someone borrowed, or get something from someone else, but no, nothing.
I'm going insane. What do I do here?! There's nothing to do! I just sit here, staring at Dragon Roost, wishing I was delivering mail... I wonder how Namali's doing as the alternate postman... That's it. I need to deliver something. Anything.
I've got it! I'll write my own letters to send to people! Perfect! I'll just write up some letters now...
[---]
Hour 1.5
Okay, how does this sound?
Dear Friends at Dragon Roost,
I am getting along fine without delivering mail. In fact, I find this vacation quite enjoyable. It's very peaceful.
Hope you haven't put our mail service out of business yet,
- Quill
Perfect. Now, I'll just send them updates every four hours...
[---]
Hour 2
Apparently, that wasn't the point of the vacation. I'm not supposed to deliver anything. I'm just supposed to kinda sit here and stare at the waves and think peaceful thoughts.
Peaceful thoughts:
Me delivering mail.
Me delivering holiday mail.
Me delivering holiday mail, and everyone saying how wrong it was to send me on vacation.
Peaceful thoughts. Got it.
[---]
Hour 4
I can't believe Namali, of all people, is delivering the mail.
I'm just sitting here, minding my own business, thinking peaceful thoughts, when he swoops in and delivers the mail to Outset, then waves to me and sets out, with the mail _I_ should be delivering in _his_ mailbag!
I can't do this, I can't do this. Only a couple more hours, just a couple more, and then I set out for Dragon Roost.
[---]
Hour 5.5
Only a couple more hours. Peaceful thoughts, peaceful thoughts, goddamned peaceful thoughts! I can't do this!!! I'll go insane!!!
[---]
Hour 6
After running around whilst flailing my arms and screaming until someone threw a shoe at my head, I'm tired. I think I'll sleep now.
[---]
Hour 10
Is it morning yet? I hope it's morning. I want to go home. Is there a clock on Outset anywhere? I want to go home... But it looks too dark to be morning. I think it's only midnight or something.
That means twelve hours to go. Good. Halfway through hell.
[---]
Hour 11
GODDAMMIT!!! I CAN'T FUCKING DO THIS ANYMORE!!!
That's it! I may not be allowed back at Dragon Roost yet, but I'm still leaving this goddamned island!
I'll go to Windfall and buy a pictobox. That should take my mind off things.
[---]
Hour 14
Man, maybe I should give up being a postman and take up photography full-time. It's so... Motivating. Just the COOLEST FUCKING THING IN THE UNIVERSE!!! I love this little pictobox, and I love the photos... All the other Ritos will be so jealous of me, it'll be beyone funny!!! Ooh, I can imagine the looks on their faces when I walk in with this thing!
Okay, the pictobox is one of those mini ones, so there's a little hole at the top where I attached a chain and hung it around my neck, and when I see a photo opportunity, I just hold it to my eye and click! I love it! It's the cutest thing! And I've already taken a bunch of pictures, and I'm choosing the best ones to fly to that figurine place near Forest Haven. Then I can get him to make some tiny figurines so I can put them in my mailbag and take them home with me!
Oh, this is the coolest!!!
[---]
Hour 14.5
Okay, I'm gonna choose to take the pictures of Kamo (the brooding guy who watches the stars), Zunari (the eskimo-like man who sells flowers), Sue-Belle (the girl with the pot on her head at Outset), and Tott (that disco freak who dances on the gravestone). I wonder if I can give him that many...
[---]
Hour 15
Okay, he says that he can only do one an hour, but he's only supposed to do one a day for non-members. But then he sold me the membership card, and I gave him all four of the photos. I'm gonna go fly around while I wait.
[---]
Hour 19
I got my sculptures. They are EVEN MORE FUCKING COOL THAN THE PICTOBOX!!! They are so lifelike!!! It's amazing! So goddamned amazing!!!
[---]
Hour 24
After admiring my figurines for the last five hours, Prince Komali came to get me. Of course, I took a picture of him. But he didn't seem interested in my pictobox... I wonder why.
[---]
Okay, new plan. We are NEVER sending Quill on vacation again. He has that stupid pictobox that he keeps using. I still have spots in front of my eyes.
- Prince Komali
[---]
I second that motion. That pictothing is HELL IN A BOX.
- Akoot
[---]
Did anyone read the entries Quill made? Notice how much he swore... I third the motion. Never, ever, EVER send Quill on vacation again. He needs to deliver mail to keep his mind working.
- Namali
[--end-ch3--]
Well, wasn't that fun? Somewhat odd, but fun nonetheless. And the moral, of course.
Never give Quill a pictobox.
So review, review, review! I'll be waiting!
And, regarding Rylasasin's review... Yeah, Link's not a fairy boy, but Prince Komali says this because of the whole "green outfit" thing.
