Ranu I think it’s time I let a lot of you know this. Warning: This is a slight trauma dump. Throughout my childhood since I was nine, I was stuck as an unpaid caregiver. It fucked me up royally, too. My mother was declining slowly, and she was also brain damaged. Because of that situation at—

“You already are?”

Ranu Mood really dropped this time. I’ll be elsewhere.

"Of course you're not him. Just like other versions of myself aren't me. Do people really not get that?" Majora blinked in disbelief. Were others truly confused by such a concept? "Myrddin is Myrddin. You're you."

ranu The gardener followed. :D

ranu Still not over how the teeth were the thing to unnerve me in that game. Holy FUCK.

"Alright, alright. I'll lay off the pranks... For now." He stuck his tongue out playfully.

"It was long enough to sleep through my crowing." He lightly flicked the hero on the forehead. "You could sleep through dragon roars."

"Well, you weren't waking up. Might as well put some overgrowth on you."

He's giggling at this point. The reaction from Lady Avalon got him to feel a little less nervous. "That look on your face! You are terrible at this! He's never told me about any siblings. Only other lovers."

“Playing dumb near a deity. You’re just like Myrddin.” He shook his head. “Fiiiine. I guess I have to play along and call you his sibling?”

“Goodness. Someone angered Neith.”

"A caster? You sure about that, old man?"

"Calling a guy with many swords an archer. Where have I heard that before?"

ranu Seeing Aspen show up to Dragalia Lost has made me smile. :3

"No. No. NO NO NO NO!" Majora is furious.

"And don't even THINK of hiding that damn sword. I'll know."

"I'm surprised you never put them on the walls of your house! Each one looks so unique."

"No. Put it back where it came from. Or I'll change you into your least favorite monster..."

"...Idiot of Hyrule's history."

"Go on, Gil. Show your collection."

"Sword fanatics."

"Hmmmmm... Was it, I wonder? Yeah." He giggled playfully.

"Link showing his sword collection. Yep. Just a normal day in Hyrule."

"I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"Are you?"

Nope. He's motivated by whether the task will ease his boredom or not.

ranu Ugh... I don't like this boss fight in Stories 3.

"Uh... Sure, I guess. As long as you don't do anything strange." The deity didn't know how to respond to that. Normally, if it were the other counterpart, he'd be fine with it. This girl, however... She was different, yet similar. "Uhm... Sorry. I'm not used to meeting alternates of someone--

"Lady Avalo-- Gods damn it." The name 'Avalon' rang in the entity's head like a loud bell. He definitely knew someone related to that place, and this made the encounter more awkward. "Majora. Some call me Majjy as a nickname."

"Hey. At least you're not constantly mistaken for a child." Majora shrugged with a smirk. "Funnily enough, I sometimes wonder if you long to be a bit closer to that alchemist. You talk about him often, even if you act like he's a pain. And, leave my horns out of this..."

“When you’re in your current preferred form.” He stuck his tongue out.

"I'm taller than you, half-pint!"

"Good job, Envy. You disgusted yourself. Hahahaha!"

"I thought we had a chat about this..." Majora looked slightly awkward as his gaze focused off into space. Again with the idea of human transmutation using his blood? It wouldn't even be human with the two of them. "Logically, it would be a biological transmutation instead of human. And...--

"It is... I've never really experimented with my own blood, but I'm unsure how it would work." He tilted his head. "Blood is the currency of the soul? Not too far off. It's used in hexes that can affect others by using their blood or hair... Still, a soul is not blood. And you? Last I recall,--

"I know you've done experiments like that before. Working with souls is vastly different from working with a body, and everyone keeps using blood in these stupid texts. That's not soul data. That's genetic data. There's also the problem involving making a human without letting them grow--

“Faces are not what I use to recognize others. Anyone can change their looks. What’s your name, little lady?”

"Ugh. He's no better than Zant... I'm going to gag!"

"Proud to be an insolent bastard, you poor redead. At least I know where I stand."

“No. I haven’t. A shame you can’t read between the lines.” He shrugged. “Do try not to get caught in a bush agajn.”

“Because, you’d have an army so poor that your magic would be wasted. You’d eventually run dry if you went against a stronger threat. Numbers can be good, but so can smaller units. Especially if you make them into powerful allies. But… Doing that might upset your king, wouldn’t it?”

“Where I come from, dragons have names. They may not be pets, but they have minds. Farosh and Dinraal would easily tell you off for that.” Majora looked offended!

“Falin? It’s been some time since I’ve seen her active. I do hope she’s alright.” He would sigh heavily. It was clear he couldn’t convince the grieving mage.

“Oh, but that’s the fun part. If they think they’re doing it out of their own free will, they’re none the wiser! You could be seen as a saint, and let your puppets take the blame. How do you not understand the brilliance of manipulation?”

“You care that much for my well-being? Goodness, Thistle. At least let yourself rest… Somehow.” He would shake his head. “Afraid not. My horns haven’t picked anything up.”

“Do they? You must have trouble making them feel like they’re welcomed. As if they’re doing your bidding out of their own free will.” He would smile innocently before his next statement. “But, you probably know that already.”

“You’ve never met the dead I know, then. They love to chat, and some will dance.” He giggled playfully.

“An astute observation. I’m not a healer. My expertise involves hexes and advanced magic.” Majora blinked. “A living corpse? Much like the ones back home, then. Less mummified, though.”

"Merely curiosity. I live off of negative energy, and this reeks of it." He would cut the last branch that was blocking Zorba's arm from being released. "That should do it. Let me know if you have splinters or thorns. An arm like that would normally feel more pain unless it's on a corpse."
