Sorry for taking such a long time to make a new chapter! This is probably the longest one yet, even though it doesn't seem like it. I didn't really know what to do for this, so it will probably suck. I hope you enjoy.
The sound of metal hitting wooden planks and the chattering of people filled the small town. Workers, old and young, working hard on some contraption. Women and children filling the streets. It felt, so normal to me, until I looked up. Staring down at me, almost as if it were judging me, was a moon. A moon with a sinister face. One look sent shivers down my spine. Now I see why the salesmen wanted to leave so soon. If it weren't for my 'heroic' instincts, I would have fled by now as well. Everything seemed so big to me, probably due to my Deku size. Traveling around the town, spotting new and old faces, discovering what secrets lie in this town. And what is up with that menacing looking moon.
I stumble upon the mayor's office, hearing loud shouts from inside. Entering, I see a beautiful, albeit small, common area. It's green and orange tiles shimmering from the gold, sphere shaped lights hanging above. Burgundy seats line the right side of the area, while a small table lines the left side. Walking further, I notice all the patters along the walls. The green and blue wavy lines almost popping out from the otherwise bland, eggshell white walls. I hadn't been looking forward when, and slammed into something very hard and rough. Backing up a bit, I notice it is a desk. A big, brown desk. Looking up, I see a woman with hair the color of seaweed. It is cut short and in a pixy cut style. Above her is a magnificent portrait of two people dancing. I assume they are husband and wife, or at least in an intimate relationship. "Can I help you with something young man?" A voice said, breaking through my wall of thought.
I look up to see the woman with the pixy cut look at me.
"Uh, yea. Where can I find the mayor of this town?" I ask in a high pitched voice.
"Door to my left. Though I don't think you'll get much help, for it sounds like there's an argument brewing in there." The woman told me, pointing towards the dark ebony door.
"Thank you." I say, walking through the door.
Once I enter, I met with loud shouts and deep grumbling, much like a thunder storm with lighting sputtered about. Look to see a short man with purple hair sitting in a large chair in front of a larger desk. Everything and everyone seems to be bigger than him, me included. I look him over, to realize he looks slightly similar to the man in the portrait. I just can't wait to see what the woman will look like.
I'm able to pick up on their conversation, being that no one has even noticed I entered the room. To my left, there seems to be a council of some kind. And to my right, guards. The guards speak first. "Most of the townsfolk already have taken shelter without waiting for the mayor's orders. The only ones left are public servants and committee members." He turns to the mayor. "Mr. Mayor and carnival committee members, please order those who remain to evacuate!"
The mayor scratches the side of his head. "Ahh…..hmm…..well…." He begins, only to be interrupted by the councilmen.
"You cowards! Do you actually believe the moon will fall? The confused townsfolk simply caused a panic by believing this ridicules, groundless theory. The soldiers couldn't prevent the panic, but outside the town walls is where the danger is! You want answers? The answer is that the carnival should not be canceled!" The councilmen turn toward the mayor. "Isn't that right, Mr. Mayor?"
"Well…um…"
"Are you serious, Mutoh?! It's seems that giant chunk of rock above us hasn't caught your eye! At this time of year, we are overrun by tourists. So why is the town so empty? Clearly, it's your job to ensure the carnival's operation, but that's if people are here for it! Don't drag the merchants and soldiers into this!"
The Mayor still can't make up his mind.
"If soldiers wish to run, then run, Viscen! We councilmen will stick with tradition. This carnival will be a success. I've never heard of a defense unit abandoning its town! Madam Aroma would surly say the same thing, wouldn't she, Mayor Dotour?"
That's when the mayor snapped out of it at the word of his wife. "Let's not bring my wife into this!"
The argument just went on like that, and nothing could be done to stop them. At least I got some information on what's going on in this messed up town. I exit the office, my ears finally fixing themselves from all of the yelling and arguing. I head back into town, looking for any more clues on what to do. I still have no idea on what I have dragged myself into, but it's much bigger than what I had expected. At least I can stop the moon from falling, right?
