idealism | Fuda # 18 | Sock 'n' roll.

[Today Tsuzuki's network post is arranged by his two sock-puppets. Literally. He's wearing a colorful sock on each hand, trying to be anonymous. One of the sock-puppets hold up a sign with a flying, fat baby on it. It's holding a bow and arrow.]

Greetings everyone!

My name is Sock!

My name is Sock Too!

Today we're going to talk about

Valentine's Day!

On Earth, it's common to give your valentine chocolates or a card on the 14th of february. It means you really like them! Then, if they like you back, on White Day they give you chocolate in return!

What if my valentine isn't in Luceti anymore?

That's easy. You still write them a card, but we put them in... this! [Some fumbling later, Tsuzuki produces a heavy box with a heart on top. He makes the sock-puppets open it with a creak.]

That way, when your valentine returns to Luceti, you can show them this card. Then they'll know you never forgot about them!

[He tries to reach for the off-button on his communicator, and ends up showing half his face. And he still can't press the right button.]

Oh damnit.

Can you give chocolates and cards to your friends? I really like them!

[He can hear that laughter, Link!]

Why not? Just keep in mind that not everyone knows about obligatory chocolate.

[...Come to think of it, he doesn't either.] Right! Uh... what is obligatory chocolate?

Chocolate you give to friends.

Oh, okay! I guess I can add a note saying 'you're a good friend!' to them... what kind do you want?

I want any kind of chocolate you're willing to make. What kind do you want?

I like any kind! [Pause. He hadn't thought of that, actually.] Are you supposed to make chocolates for people? I'm not good at cooking...

A lot of people by theirs, because making chocolate is such a hassle. Do you think the stores here ever get sold out?

Oh... they might, if everyone's buying it at the same time. Should we get some early?

Yes, definitely. Maybe we should even go over there now.

Great! I'll grab my stuff!

((OOC: Ever seen the Faces of Evil opening? ...I apologise sincerely XD;; ))

I'll get a bag!

[ooc: MY BRAIN. XD What the heck did I just watch, hahaha.]

Okay! [Aaand he's off again, returning a few minutes later in his usual boots and hat, jacket, scarf, gloves, and the earmuffs he got from Hijiri.]

((OOC: The opening cutscene of one of the most infamous gaming mistakes ever. And this is why companies that aren't Nintendo don't make Zelda games XD It was for the Phillips CD-i, and is less famous for being one of the first games on a disc and more famous for having the dodgiest animations of all time. See the ending here 8D Yeah, you beat Ganon with a book. There was another one starring Zelda - opening and ending. ...Enjoy? :3 ))

[Tsuzuki doesn't wear much, except his cloak and his scarf. He expects his regenerating body to keep him from getting colds.]

Nice earmuffs!

[OOC: I don't know whether to laugh or cry. What were they thinking? XD]

[Lucky Tsuzuki. Link has learnt to go underdressed in winter at his peril, especially since he can't actually tell when he's too cold.]

Hijiri gave them to me for Christmas! They're nice, huh?

((OOC: You know, I'm not certain they were thinking at all :p Aside from 'ooh Zelda and Mario are popular let's make really subpar games and hope people buy them anyway'. There was a Mario game, too. And a third Zelda game, although that one was weird - it was, well, live-action rotoscoped. Sad part is, if it wasn't for the incredibly muddy backgrounds, dodgy controls, and Loads And Loads Of Loading Time, the third one wouldn't be too bad a game.))

Yes, they are. Are they warm?

Uh huh! Anyway, I need something to keep my ears warm, they're a lot bigger than other people's. [Sadly, Link has become quite used to people commenting on his ears.]

Do they get colder quickly, too?

I don't know, they've never been smaller. [He frowns faintly, though.] I think they did get really cold in the ice caverns, though. I can't really tell, here.

I don't notice cold that much, so I'm not sure if I can compare properly, either. [He scratches his head.] Ice caverns?

Oh... they're in Hyrule. I had to go through them to get Iron Boots so I could go to the Water Temple. They're freezing!

Why were the Iron Boots in there? Wouldn't they freeze fast to the floor?

They were in a chest! I think there was magic - anyway, the Water Temple was at the lake, and that wasn't frozen.

[Just half-drained and full of monsters.]
