Author's Note: This is Jester's Day, a day of general joviality, so no real action. Just some character stuff and celebration.
The Legend of Zelda: Akavir War
Chapter 9
Link awoke on Jester's Day morning. He stepped out of his tent and began to walk around through the comfortably warm streets. In the square he heard some commotion. He trod over to see what was going on, and burst out laughing.
The Nerevarine was dancing on a stage as a part of a singing quartet. Not very well at all. His large, clumsy feet, clad as they were in heavy armor, kept coming precariously close to crushing the toes of the other singers. The song managed to end without incident, and the Nerevarine jumped down off the two-meter high stage that had been set up during the night. He strode embarrasedly over to Link.
"Um…" Link said, confused at the reincarnated Hero.
"Jester's Day. You get to let go and have a little fun. Innocent pranks don't entail legal penalties. Like this one I'm going to play on Ammas. Come on, I'll tell you the details on the way." The Nerevarine explained to his confused friend.
Link walked along listening to the Nerevarine. He was amazed, because the Nerevarine often was a little taciturn (but not as much as Eats) and always was reserved. He was either very drunk or had a lot of holiday spirit that either caused him to get drunk or could change him completely. As he heard the details of the prank, he thought "Yep, definitely drunk."
They arrived in front of Ammas' house and the Nerevarine proved his sobriety (shocking Link, apparently the Reborn Hero just had a lot of holiday spirit) by perfectly casting telekenisis on Ammas' bedroom window, opening it fully and silently. He used some magic to scan the house for wakefulness. Everyone out. He cast a sound spell and recorded his message, took it and threw it like a ball at Ammas' now open window.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP!" Reveberated through a half-mile radius.
Ammas groggily threw a minor shockball out the window, which zapped a large rat on the street. He then went back to sleep.
Link and the Nerevarine both agreed at the potential entertainment value of soundballs as they walked back to the square.
"We could sell those when we get back from Akavir. We'd make millions!" The Nerevarine said.
"Only this time of year." Link said.
The two got back to the celebration at the square. Even Eats was there, tapping his reptilian tail against the ground with the rhythm of a nearby bard's music. General celebration went on long into the night, when Link, the Nerevarine, Ammas, and a few Mages got it into their heads to try making fireworks.
After disposing of his newly ruined hat (the first three tries didn't go too well) the group set off their handiwork. They skyrocketed perfectly and exploded in just the pattern the Mages said it would. The shapes included the Imperial Dragon-God Akatosh, which burst out of a tiny ball and seemed to devour a little goblin they made. A comically misshapen corkbulb, Links incinerated hat, complete with animated fire. The works.
It was two in the morning when the Celebration started to die down after Link won a scuttle eating contest. Link went to his tent at about four thinking: "You think you know someone, then you see them on Jester's Day!" He slept until six P.M. the next day.
So, that was my first attempt at deliberate humor there. I personally don't find myself particularly good at it. But, tell me what you think. I told you what comes next in chapter 8's closer.
