SO YEAH A HEADS UP POST that I'm gonna reblog to a bunch of my RP blogs for reference. this is about 75% heads up, 25% 'yes hello I have things to share if you wanna send me crap.'

I'm moving! I got an apartment, got internet, have been working on getting stuff moved over. got a lot done, got a lot more to do. will probably be done moving by the end of the week, and then just have to like. figure out what the fuck I'm doing food wise because I won't have the dingdongs I live with to lean on.

if anybody wants to send me stuff to help settle in, or like, let me order food, I'd super appreciate that. I'll plonk links at the bottom of this for my amazon wishlists (I know, I loathe amazon, but I also don't have a lot of options right now) and my paypal.

I'm getting another shoji door for my room. Miss Moose is not allowed to pop holes in the paper.

You totally talk about small children like they’re little animals right.

That’s allowed?

I ask because I have never dealt with small children.

I don't know about talking ABOUT them, but I talk TO them like I do everyone else. I might exaggerate my tone a little, but otherwise, I keep things basic. Also try not to swear. Parents kind of don't like if you swear around their kids for some reason.

I guess I talk about kids the same way I do adults, too, actually.

I've been doing a whole lot of winter related work. Have drinks fermenting, cheeses too, and a whole lot of stored produce I've been keeping track of. Have salted and dried meats. Spent a long time removing snow from the pathway to the village, which is a job that needs done repeatedly throughout the day sometimes. Have covered the windows to decrease how much we need to do in order to heat the rooms inside the house.

In addition to the usual stuff I do. Mostly cleaning, at the moment. Do some hunting and cooking when the Prince doesn't want to.

Apparently I have the patience to hack Shinra computer systems but I don’t have the fucking patience to read 5 step instructions on how to bypass a paywall.

To be fair. I finally went “come on it can’t be that hard” and DID find the patience.

But still.

If you mean those 'you get [x number] of articles before you need to pay,' it's usually easy enough to bypass. Incognito mode.

No clue about the rest of those, though.

i scare people lots because i walk very softly and they don’t hear me enter rooms so when they turn around i’m just kind of there and their fear fuels me

Unless your ghost is a poe, it's unlikely it'll even be able to interact with you beyond making a limb chilly. Most people can't even see them.

We can see ghosts here!!! And well, I mean, the ones in the game ARE in a different universe but I know how the multiverse works! They could end up here!

Ah, fair. I'm pretty used to nobody else being able to see ghosts here still. It's hard to wrap my head around there being places where I wouldn't have gotten funny looks and whispers behind my back for talking to them as a kid.

If it helps, I think travel between those things are pretty difficult, and usually require a physical form.

I see you, @turksichore.

What's that set of letters mean, anyways? Your...identifier? Thing?

Wh. What set of letters?

Mine is 'Sheikah Copycat' because I kind of modeled my behavior after a friend before I ever actually met him, just heard stories about him and I thought he was neat and inspiring and somebody I wanted to be like.

Zelda's is @nayrusknight because Nayru is her patron goddess, and she's a knight.

Prince Link's is @hyliansignlanguage because he's usually mute and uses his hands to talk.

Yours, I don't really know how to parse? Is it a word I don't know, or..?

Oh. It’s a pun on Terpsichore, the muse of dancing. We’re a special agent group called the TURKs, and we do a lot of fighting, which is just... dancing but more dangerous.

Nayru's knickers, I love that. And you're right, about fighting, I mean.

I'd ask for tips, but I'm not sure how well they'd translate to what I do. Or if I'd even be able to put something vaguely resembling it together even if it did.

What sort of stuff do you do? If you can, or want to, talk about that.

Well, Rude and I are air and field. Tseng’s a sniper, and ambassador. Elena is... well. Honestly. Elena is if we need someone dead.

Oh cool! Is, uh. Is Elena scary?

She can be!!! She’s tough and has nothing to lose. Only morons try to take her on.

I like her already. You guys all sound cool, though.

I've done a lot of stealth training and mid-distance weaponry too. I will admit that I kind of suck at anything close range, and also long range. Most of the time when I have to fight anything up close, I only escape with all my limbs because of dumb luck. Uh, feel free to ignore this, but I'm. Gonna put an example under here. I'm not sure how to warn about content, but this example was super not fun.

I see you, @turksichore.

Before I learned about Sheik and what he did to terrify the Yiga, I wanted to be a Shadow already. I did any training I could think of, made my own tools and weaponry, and even came up with some new stuff.

After I learned about him, and the magic he did, I came up with the idea for my firebombs, and worked on a few different variations until I found one that worked. And then after I met Zelda, she brought one to him, and he gave me tips on how to improve it!

Sheik is a nervous nerd, but he's absolutely amazing, and I still very much look up to him. Even if I distinctly get the feeling that I am kind of annoying to him. I'm used to that. I can deal with that. He's still cool.

I see you, @turksichore.
