who: Link

bluechampion and YOU
what: Link's bumming around the city, asking for ~~sidequests~~ odd jobs to earn a bit of money while exploring the city. Feel free to bump into him.
when: A day or so after the celebrations die down. He'll be out and about all day and probably most of the night if he finds anything interesting.
where: All over the city
warnings: None

While it was only natural for people to want to take some time to rest up after such boisterous celebrations, Link found himself waking up bright and early like he always did, full of energy and restlessness. He took care not to wake his roommates and quietly geared up and slipped out of the commons.

His first day out was uneventful so far. There were cleaning crews out and about the first day after the celebrations had ended to get the city back to proper order. Link offered to help out if only to give him something to do and was surprised at the strange looks he was given by the workers. Was it not normal for people to offer help like that somehow?

The city slowly became more lively as the sun rose higher. Link mostly kept to himself, though he kept an active eye out for anyone who looked like they might have time to spare to chat or if they might need assistance with anything. Otherwise he strolled along, interested in seeing how everything was normally and checking out anything he found interesting.

i. Morning
Maybe your character is a morning person. Maybe not. Either way, it's certainly possible for them to run into a very curious teenaged boy who's both visibly armed and a little too interested in what they might be up to. Sorry if you haven't had your coffee yet.

ii. Afternoon
On your lunch break? Taking a stroll down the street for some ice cream to beat the heat? Maybe just running some errands? (Link can help you with that by the way.) You might have someone tagging along with you. He has only the best intentions, I promise.

iii. Evening/Night
Link's never seen a night life like this. For those going out on the town, it's very possible you might be accosted by someone who looks just a tad too young for most attractions that come alive at this time of night.

Link chuckled. "Ladybug?... I like it." In his head he imagined a warrior in red armor with black polka dots and the weapons to match. He had to admit that he wanted to visit this world of hers just to see these characters.

"I guess this blog isn't available here. I wish I could see it!" This 'blog' thing reminded Link of the Rumor Mill. "There's an adventurer in Hyrule that does something kind of like a blog, I think. She writes about little secrets that you can find across Hyrule."

She almost blushed sheepishly at the laugh - and Link's mental image wasn't -THAT- far off from the mark. Just... not armor. Still, he might see ONE of those characters eventually!

"If my friend Alya was here, you'd see it all the time," Marinette remarked, smiling a little wistfully. Though she perked up when he mentioned about the Rumor Mill, "Really? That does sound a lot like Alya's blog." Her bestie was a little too obsessed with Ladybug sometimes, but she had it well in hand. Glancing at her basket, Marinette smiled, "Good, plenty left over. Just one more stop to make and we're done," she told Link, motioning at a house up a the hill.

Link looked surprised. "Already?" There was just so much more in the basket. He was perfectly willing to toss whatever money Marinette had paid him for his services for the rest of the batch, that is unless the last customer had ordered a whole bunch, which Link could't blame anyone for.

He followed Marinette up the hill and waited as before. He couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do for the rest of the day.

Marinette laughed at the surprised reaction, "Well I only had three orders today. I made extra in case someone wanted to change the quantity of their order at the last minute." Maybe she overdid it a little, with as many treats she had left over.

She took a little longer with her customer this third time, if only because they were elderly and took a very (almost agonizingly) long time counting out the money owed, even making Marinette wait a little long for something else before they were able to conclude the exchange. When Marinette rejoined Link, she looked rather bemused, "Sorry about that. I think they were lonely, they were pretty chatty and.. uh. He gave me candy." She paused, holding up a sticky ball of what is assumed to be candy. "I'm.. not sure this is still good though." Either that or it melted into a misshapen blob of assorted candies from the heat. "I didn't have the heart to turn him down." Ahaha, she's.. not going to eat it though. She'll have to dispose of it later... if she can get it to destock from her hand that is.

"Oh." Marinette definitely had everything thought out, but then again, she did mention growing up with parents in this business. It wasn't surprising to see that she had all of her bases covered.

Link had started to fidget a bit during the exchange with the elderly customer and was glad to see the door finally close. He gave the 'candy' she held up a grossed-out look. It reminded him of his dubious cooking experiments he had accidentally concocted back in Hyrule. "I think I wouldv'e done the same." He looked thoughtful for a moment, trying to think of some use for the blob, but couldn't think of anything other than maybe using it for bait for monsters or something. It was probably best just to toss it.

"What now?"

"Now..." Marinette shook her hand, trying to free it from the sticky ball of gross stickiness, "Well, I'm pretty much done now." She reached into her bag with her non-sticky hand to take out a handful of bills - more than the last time, passing them to him. "Here, do you want to take the rest of these muffins? I have plenty back at home." She offered.

"Really?" It was one thing for her to pay him, which was certainly acceptable, but to give him the rest of the muffins on top of it? He felt like he was being over-paid, but he did want to sample them himself. Besides, he wasn't one to turn down free food. He wouldn't be letting them go to waste, that's for sure. "Thank you!"

Marinette giggled, nodding, "Yeah, really. You helped me out a lot today, so you deserve a little extra bonus, so to speak." Just don't eat them all in one sitting. "Where are you off to after this?"

Link could make no promises on devouring them all if they were good enough. He went ahead and took one out of the basket to sample, unwrapping it as Marinette spoke. He shrugged.

"I don't know. I was just out to find my way around when I bumped into you. If there's a place you like around here I'm open to suggestions."

He then took a big bite from the muffin. It was delicious. He'd have to do his best to restrain himself to make these last as long as he could.

Marinette grinned, "Well, there's a park area that's pretty nice. It's not far from here either, actually." She motioned, "And don't worry about bringing back the basket, you can keep it. I have another one back at home." And if necessary she could just make a replacement - she'd just have to go out and pick up some supplies outside the gate for it though.

Was it Link's birthday and no one told him? He was dealing with amnesia to the point where he only knew his name because he had heard someone call him Link. It was certainly possible.

"Are you sure? You've given me a lot already." Not that he was complaining. He was very happy to have those muffins.
