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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yuffie boasted a lot but she could usually back it up. She might not actually be the best but she was pretty awesome. "It's a date." Not really but Yuffie liked to see if the word 'date' ever threw someone off. It was fun to watch people squirm.

"You should." It wasn't that constricting of a job. Otherwise Yuffie wouldn't have been able to keep it, plus, she was able to search beyond the wall and have people come look for her if she happened to disappear. That sort of reassurance was nice and a bit unusual for Yuffie.

Yuffie grinned. "It's not fair. Just over there." She pointed behind him before walking off in the general direction of food. "It's a soup place." She was really hungry.

Link grinned. Her comment didn't throw him off at all. It was a little odd, but from the rest of the conversation, he had a good idea of what she really meant.

If someone like Yuffie was happy working for the Perimeter Guard, then Link would probably like it as well. She seemed as free-spirited as Link, if not even more so. It wouldn't hurt to check it out.

"I can do soup." Link was always ready to eat. Perhaps it was the amount of restless energy he had, or maybe life in Hyrule after the Calamity made food even more valuable than before since it could be hard to come by at times. Regardless, Link was a bit of a glutton. He eagerly followed Yuffie, his pockets full of money from helping Marinette with her deliveries earlier.

Yuffie was pretty sure there was a soup place just around the corner. She accidentally walked passed it and had to double back to find it. "Here!" She announced with a renewed bounce to her step.

She pushed herself inside and then lead Link to the bar where they could sit and order. "I would like a number 2 with extra meat!" It was more or less ramen but with a few things that Yuffie had never seen before. She didn't really care, it looked delicious, smelled delicious and she was hungry.

"What cha getting?"

"I'll just get what you're getting." The person behind the counter seemed to get it and wrote their orders on a ticket to give to the cook.

Yuffie had dragged him in so fast that he didn't get a good look at the shop until he sat down. It had a similar aesthetic as Kakariko Village back home. It was a small place, but it was well taken care of, and the smells coming from the kitchen made Link's mouth water.

As Link and Yuffie waited for their meal, the woman who had taken their orders gave them small glasses and left a pitcher of ice water on the counter for them to use as they wished. Link poured Yuffie's glass, then his own. "I like this place already. Are there shops like this where you're from?"

Yuffie grinned when Link poured her a glass of water. He was so polite. "Yeah, small places like this were usually family run." They had a lot of places like this in Wutai that were a little bigger but if you found a place like this in the city they were almost an exact copy of where they sat now.

"I love places like this. That and the people usually know each other." More likely than not she'll end up friends with half of the staff by the end of the month. Yuffie ate a lot.

"Any place like what you're used to?" She asked, taking a gulp of cold water. Given the cities heat it felt nice.

Link did like the relaxed atmosphere of the soup shop. While some people may have thought the small space a little claustrophobic, Link found it cozy. He's probably end up getting to know the people here pretty soon as well.

"Kind of. There are villages that have little shops like this, but none of them serve food like this one." You had to know how to cook in Hyrule, otherwise you'd rarely if ever have a warm meal to eat.

Link took a swig from his glass. The water was crisp and it was certainly welcome with the summer heat. He looked over towards the kitchen to watch the cook pace to and fro to prepare their meals.

Yuffie hummed softly, leaning forward to watch the men making their soup. The process was interesting and since the noodles and sides were premade in the morning, it was a quick process. "Sounds interesting. I can't imagine not having little food places like this though."

She was an okay cook. At least, Yuffie did enough to survive but what they did here was different. It was an art. Yuffie leaned back as the man behind the counter placed a bowl in front of her. A wide grin was pulling across her lips as the smell of the savory dish filled her nose. She already knew that it was going to be delicious.

"Let's eat!" She took the chopsticks and large spoon, placing a small bit of everything into her spoon before popping it into her mouth. It was so good that she stopped talking and focused completely on her soup and nothing else.

Link's order came right after Yuffie's was delivered, and he dug into it with as much gusto and enthusiasm as she did. He slurped up the noodles noisily, being used to eating alone and not really worrying about manners.

It wasn't too long before Link's bowl was empty. While he was satisfied, he wished he had more. It was absolutely delicious. Link would have to remember to come back here. Often.

He looked over to Yuffie for the first time since their food arrived. "That was really good. Thanks for showing me this place."

After eating, Yuffie finally refocused on Link. Her belly felt like it was about to burst and she honestly wanted a second nap in a sunny rooftop location. Food and naps were two of the best things in life, next to Materia and Wutai.

"No problem. If I find any more amazing food places I'll clue you in." She like wandering around and she never knew what sort of places she'd find. It was the fun part of exploring.

"I think it's time for another nap... or work. What time is it?" She had to get to the wall at some point. Maybe she could nap at work?

"Sure. I'll keep an eye out too."

Link grinned. While a bit odd, it certainly seemed that Yuffie had her priorities in order. Food and napping were at the top of Link's list as well, though he wished he had more time for the naps. He pulls out his Sheikah Slate to check the time. "It's about 1:30. Is there somewhere you have to be?"

"Work." She rolled her shoulders in a shrug. "I'll be a bit late again but I work at the perimeter and they don't like it when I'm late." Which was fairly often.

Yuffie wasn't sure how she had a job.

"So I'll catch you later."
