the_campus | CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: THE LANGUAGE BARRIER REINSTATED

[Today, something somewhere went wrong. On the evening on the 15th, any bilingual (or otherwise) knowledge granted by the Campus has simply...disappeared. At least for anybody walking by the North Wing.]

Tja ... det här kommer att lägga sordin på våra studier, är nu inte det?

[Translation: Well...this is going to put a damper on our studies, now isn't it?]

((ooc: So! For the next 5 days (the 15th~20th), your character officially only knows their native tongue. Aka, whatever language they primarily grew up with. They can no longer read, speak, or understand any other language but.

For fun you can even use Google Translate to show what your character is speaking at a glance! Don't worry, we all know it's probably gibberish :P

If you go the Google route, please be sure to put a translation at the bottom. If not, then please take care to specify what language your character is speaking in at the start of every thread.

If you have any questions, just head to the mod plurk or send this account a PM, but most importantly--have fun!))

It would. So until we can figure out where we are... I suppose we're stuck here.

[He sighs a little, suddenly wishing this place had teleported a book with him or something. Geeze.]

It was the bedroom. There's four beds, two on top of the others, but it almost looks untouched. This might be an empty room, which would explain why it was unlocked as well.

Good! Then this place will do just fine!

[He heads into the bedroom, looking it over before climbing up onto the top bunk of one of the beds.]

Hey, Vio! It's the same here. This bed's too soft to be a commoner's, but nowhere near nice enough for a royal. But no soldier'd sleep on a bed like this. It's too comfortable; it'd be too easy to relax.

Wonder who this place was meant for?

[He follows Shadow into the bedroom, going over to inspect the closet to see if his guess is right.]

Definitely an empty room.

[That done, he walks over to the beds, making a thoughtful noise as he places his hand on the bottom one, then sits on it just to be sure. So this place was far too nice for commoners, not nice enough for royals, but had a bunch of stuff that was unheard of outside of Temples, on top of stuff that was just plain unheard of?

...Wait a moment.]

...

[Too nice for commoners. Not nice enough for royals. Filled with stuff that would probably only ever be in Temples, and stuff that he'd never seen.]

Could it be... this was meant for heroes?

[Swinging down, he hangs upside down from the top bunk to stare at Vio.]

You think so? It does make sense, if you look at it like that! But you said there were other people here, right? Can they really be all heroes?

They were all wearing strange clothing -- it's possible they're heroes from elsewhere.

[But so many people? It's like if every hero from generations was... here...

Violet's face suddenly darkens some, and he seems to stare into space for a moment in deep thought, not responding at all as if he's just mentally checked out. The idea... it fits. It could explain everything.

Finally, he blinks, looking up to Shadow with an expression that's somewhat conflicted.]

I think we might be in the afterlife.

[On the one hand, being dead isn't exactly a pleasant thought. But... on the other hand, he and Shadow had already "died." Their consciousness had disappeared, been refused back into the real Link.

In all honesty, being a spirit in a rather pleasant afterlife was definitely better than just ceasing to exist. But then what did that mean for Link himself? Or Red, Green, and Blue...?]

[Woah wait hold on a minute here, why was Vio staring off into space like that? That was a really, really bad sign and he waves his hand in front of Vio's face, debating poking him. He's just made up his mind to when Vio blinks and speaks.]

Afterlife?

[Shouldn't he have just disappeared? At most, returned to the world of darkness, at most likely, dissolved into light. Could there be an afterlife for shadows? He frowns, mulling it over for a moment and just hanging there. Now it's his turn to check out mentally.

Afterlife... Vio... Luxuries... No Red, Green, or Blue... Hm...

Blink Blink.]

Then we should have some fun!

It would explain everything. The strange magic, for one, and how we're here at all for two. But...

[If that's the case, then where are the other three? And for that matter, why is everyone speaking different languages?

...Not even just that. If this IS the afterlife, then nothing here should be painful. So why was Shadow still hurt by light?

He's just about to explain this, in fact, when Shadow speaks again, causing him to blink a little instead. Well... he can explain in a minute.]

Like what?

[Shadow, on the other hand, is totally engrossed in the idea of partying.]

Ya'll can't figure it out? We didn't get to celebrate our victory or anything, so we should find some food and drink and have a celebration!

[...

Oh hell with it, he can't argue with that. And at least a small victory party would be nice to relax some and help get his thoughts in order.]

All right. Let's go find what we need and celebrate.

[Dropping down to the ground, he crouches there for a moment, thinking. There was still the light problem, but... He still had the blanket, right?]

Alright! You really are the best friend I ever had!

[...and the only.]

[Vio's face flickers a little at that, but is soon replaced by a smile, even as he pats Shadow's shoulder.]

And I always will be.

Now let's go find food!

I remember how to get to the dining hall from here. There should be a larder somewhere nearby it, either inside or out, and a pantry wouldn't be any further.

Then let's go! [Heading for the door, he grabs his blanket and wraps it around himself again. Muttering below his breath:]

I'll break all those lights if I have to...

We'll need to get a lot of arrows for that.

[Honestly, he's not so inclined to go shattering everything just yet, not knowing if it was vital or not, but once he figures that out he might just do that himself.

Either way, once he's sure Shadow's all wrapped up, he pushes the door open and steps out, then cuts a line down into the front of it with his sword.]

There. That should make it easy to find this room again.

[Now then. To the cafeteria!]

I might be able to reach with my sword if I'm careful.

[Even if, being a Link, he's pretty short. There are tables and stuff he can stand on, after all. He nods firmly at the line and follows Vio.]

This place looks... unpleasant.
