[Hey Asgard, have a familiar face filling up the screen -- or, well, half a face, since Link is a little too close. But aside from the eyes, he definitely looks like he could be the spitting image of a certain other green hatted kiddo you might already be familiar with as a resident of our good city. Isn't that peculiar?

Poor Link here hasn't a clue what he's doing, unfortunately. His expression is a mix of confusion and distress while he stares directly at the screen, finally coming into focus even as his hand waves over it, pressing things without any real purpose besides Let's See What Happens When I Do This. What's most alarming is that his face and clothes are caked with bits of blood, suggesting he's just come out of a rather brutal battle -- even if he's no longer actually hurt, and that's no less confusing than anything else that's happened since he woke up here. And the concept of Here is still pretty lost on him, caught up in his mess of worry about where Tetra's gone and what he should do now.

But aside from the occasional puzzled sound, Link doesn't say a word. In fact, the video is composed almost entirely of his staring at the screen, which is probably rather creepy. Someone clearly needs help using The Magic Screen here.]

[WELL HEY LITTLE MAN. You look just like the other little Link that's around here. That's weird! Maybe you're the younger, or older, version of him? Who knows! The other older Link is an older him, after all, so...

He just... waves lightly. Hello!]

Are you Link?

[waker]

[Link's reaction to the appearance of a person and voice on The Magic Screen is probably a little comically alarmed; with a squeak of shock he reels away, even though it follows him, almost falling down in his momentary terror. OH my goddess the screen is talking to him? THERE IS A BOY IN THE SCREEN. What's he doing in there?

Link is pretty used to people knowing his name, but he's still quite mystified by this turn of events, and once he's regained a little bit of his composure he stares the teen over with wide eyes. After a brief pause, he nods slowly, the realization striking him that this older boy has clothes similar to the Hero's like his. That's really strange... he thought that tradition was dead everywhere but Outset, and he seems a little old to still be wearing them...]

[ordonian]

[He laughs lightly when he sees the reaction.]

It's okay.

[But yeah! Sup man. So you are a Link? Neat! The clothing is a sign that gives it away.]

I could tell from your clothes. [But well, hmm... how to explain this.] I'm also Link.

[ ? Another one...? It's reassuring to have so many here, and pretty interesting. Though, he knows it's bound to be confusing to those who know him, and the other Link's.

Still, have a warm smile! ] Link.

[waker]

[NO IT'S ANOTHER ONE? Or the same person? What's going on here SOMEONE HELP. The warm smile calms him down a little, but Link definitely still looks quite lost as he offers a nod in return.]

Mhm...

[courageborn]

[ Link nods. He knows that feel, man. He was confused, too. He'll explain things the best he can.

... With as few words as he can. He was never really all that talkative. ]

It's okay. [ You're not alone at all, at least ]

There are two others.

[As unnerving as it is to be stared at for this long, the sight of all that blood proves to make it easier to be more concerned than anything else. Obviously Barnaby has no idea of knowing whether the blood is his or not but panicking and causing a fuss could just make things a worse, so instead he focuses on just getting this person's attention first with as calm of a voice as possible.]

...you're a bit close. Are you alright?

[waker]

[Link jumps slightly and makes a little startled "ah!" at the new face and voice, looking them over with a big, concerned gaze. Just how many people are trapped in The Magic Screen? There must be some way Link can free them...

He isn't sure how to reply to that -- he's not hurt anymore, even if he's incredibly worn out both physically and emotionally, and what energy he has left is being burned up by all this freaking out and worrying over where he's ended up and where on earth Tetra has gone. His mouth opens like he means to reply, but instead he just sinks down a little, shooting a slightly helpless expression at the man in the screen, almost as if he means to inquire whether that's something that could be answered for him. Of course, he doesn't realize that Barnaby might be asking because of the fact that he's covered in blood.]

[ex_abide446]

[Barnaby startles just a tiny bit himself but it's far from the reaction he's given. It's a very difficult scene for him to take in and a flood of questions come rushing to his head for some odd reason. He's seen newcomers confused and even frightened but not up to this degree. It certainly doesn't help to untie that worried knot in the pit of his stomach. No, it just feels worse but quickly enough the feeling is pushed aside as he merely adjusts his glasses and lets out a small sigh. It's probably just instinct, that knee-jerk reaction he's always had to situations like these what with being a hero. There's no time for panicking, only helping.

But things are so different here, and this seems more like a case where words would work much better than actions. Words have never really been his strong point.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. You don't need to say anything if you'd rather not but if you aren't in any of the houses already I suggest you arrive there, for your injuries... [Was that the right thing to say? No, that doesn't sound right at all. Or maybe he said it incorrectly.]

Do you need any help at all right now?

[weaponwithoutmercy]

There certainly is no shortage of little heroes in this place. It's a shame half of them hardly look like they could defend themselves against a fly, let alone put up even a half entertaining fight.

[Yup, he's already making fun of you and the other bitty Link. Charming, isn't he?]

[waker]

[WHOA WHAT WHO IS THIS. How did all of you people get inside of this screen?! This guy is definitely the most interesting looking of all, though, with that hair colour and makeup. It's definitely not something Link has ever seen before, and it's really captivating -- or at least, it is until Ghirahim opens his mouth.

Link definitely looks rather hurt by that, but he is used to being shoved around by even his besty so this is hardly something new for him. That it's a stranger bothers him, however, but he shrugs it off; it's better to try and make friends than just be put off entirely, after all! That's how he became friends with Tetra.

So, choosing to ignore that, he outstretches his free hand again, palm out in a gesture similar to saying "You?". Introduce yourself, Ghirahim! Don't be shy!]

[weaponwithoutmercy]

You're a very quiet little boy, aren't you? Or perhaps my mere presence has made you completely speechless. I am quite a sight to see, aren't I?

[That's accompanied by a pose or two, running his hand down his arm slowly as if showing off.]

Perhaps an introduction is in order and that may loosen your tongue. I am Ghirahim, though my full title is Demon Lord Ghirahim.

[hero_in_training]

[Oh hey, it's another one! And this one actually seems closer to his age. Secretly happy about this.

He smiles at the screen, waving a hand] Hey! [Puzzled staring huh...] You haven't seen anything like the screen either? It's kinda weird, huh?

Are you another Link?

[waker]

[Link's reaction to this face on his screen is, by far, the most shocked out of all -- he's struck dumb, his eyes huge with his disbelief while he looks... himself?, over. The resemblance is so strong that he's quite honestly a little freaked out, and he really, really doesn't know how to react; what's happening to him? Why are there so many people trapped in this screen, and why do they all seem to know who he is? And why are they talking about him in plural?

Sorry, other-Link! Link is a little too speechless to really reply besides offering a very unsettled look and a small nod.]

[hero_in_training]

[Oh dear. Bitty understands though]

It's okay! It's something about this place, but it's bringing in all the Links from all the different times in Hyrule. There's two other bigger Links here too, as well as me and now you. It's really strange.

[He's kinda excited to see one his age though. He will not longer be the odd one out!]

[video]

[humsalament]

[Another one? Midna what are you even doing with your life anymore?]

You know, just staring at it won't help you much.

[waker]

[Holy hell what on earth is this creature. Those are eyes big enough to rival his own.

Despite looking a a little caught off guard, he recovers much more quickly this time, shooting a confused look at the figure on the screen. Sorry, he hasn't exactly figured out how to use it besides staring at it yet! It sure does seem to house a lot of people, though...

He gestures weakly at her after a small pause, as if to ask who she is. H-help...]

[humsalament]

[an actual silent one at that Midna watches the kid try to make heads or tails of all this. Poor kid, it's almost a little sad.]

[Best try and be a little helpful.]

Midna. And I assume your name is Link.

[waypastcool]

Man, you guys just keep comin', don't ya?

[It's said with a teasing tone. No worries, Sonic's just messin' with the kid. That's just how he rolls.]

[waker]

[WHAT IS THAT? Link doesn't cower or look afraid at all at the sight of him, just rather bewildered. What kind of creature is this? This person is definitely a species he's never seen before.]

Ah...

[waypastcool]

[Pffft. Well, at least he's not freaking out as much as some of the others.]

Yo.

[Video]

[percentages]

[There are so many versions of Link here that even Fi is starting to lose count. But Link is Link, which means she is his Guide, and she is going to take care of them all, goddammit.]

You are bleeding, Master Link.

[With the tiniest note of concern bleeding through her monotone.]

You require assistance.

[waker]

[WHOA UM EXCUSE ME??? Who is this? If the "Master Link" didn't startle him, this lady's appearance certainly would, though at first he's not quite sure why he's so put off. However, as he looks her over with his big eyed stare the resemblance of this blue spirit with the synthesized voice to the Fairy Queen strikes him suddenly -- she looks so much like her that it's unsettling, and surely there must be a connection?

He shakes his head meekly in response to the comment about his appearance, instead settling on trying to figure out who this girl is, and why she'd calling "master". It's not as uneasy for him as the kinds of comment the Queen of Fairies made, but it still makes him rather uncomfortable.]

i'm sorry but who are you/ [WHY WON'T THE QUESTION KEY WORK WHAT IS HE DOING WRONG this is starting to get very frustrating!!]

[spiritmaiden]

[ Unlike the others, Zelda hasn't noticed that this Link isn't the same young boy (read: Spirit Tracks Link) she has already met. She's more focused on his distraught expression. ]

Link? Are you okay? What happened?

[waker]

[Whoops, identity confusion already. Link's not sure who this girl is, but she too feels a little familiar in a weird way. her voice feels comforting and instead of being uneasy about her knowing his name immediately as well, he just offers a little shake of his head, raising his hand reassuringly. Even if he's not exactly okay, he wouldn't want a stranger -- or anyone, really -- to have to worry about him.]
