Walk, Don't RunI remember when I was a little girl, going to a large school in a nearby town. Every morning, I would get up before the sun did, and get on the bus that would take me to it. One year, the bus would wait for me at the end of my driveway. Another, I had to walk across a rocky empty lot to go to where it would weight at my neighbor's house, where their own little girl would wait for it with me.

Those mornings were always cold for me. The girls at the school wore a uniform that consisted of a light button up shirt, a checkered pleated skirt, and knee socks. During school hours, the knee socks were kept folded or pushed down around the ankles, as
Another DaySometime during one of her shifts at her part-time job at the Mary-Sue Hunter's headquarters, Niaki came at the conclusion that her superiors were deliberately attempting to drive her insane. Considering the evidence she had to prove this theory, it might have actually had some truth to it.

The teenager stirred her coffee sluggishly, resting her head on the table's edge.

She had come in to the office from her sophomore history class, exhausted from a day's work at school.
Waiting for her in her cubicle were three top-priority post-it holo notes.

The first note was orders for her to go on an apocalypse-aversion mission. This required her t

I always want to cry when I see the King's butler distraught by his son's body.

And for the record, those two probably had to search all over the swamps to find that single patch of sunny grass for them to run over.

I really like this; it's very clean and loose, with a great sense of motion and freedom. Such a bittersweet moment. The story of the butler's son has always been one of the most poignant and memorable in Zelda games for me, despite how little is said about it.

Waaagh that story always makes me way too sad when I get to that part of the credits. It's a very strong moment, yes, but also sad.

Thanks for the kind words! :D

You're welcome! Yeah, it is very sad; I find it tragic too, but I like poignancy. MM had a number of moments like that; its characters and story are definitely some of my favorites in Zelda.

...Although I was never able to take Mikau's death completely seriously because of how quickly he jumps up and starts belting out his life's story. :P MM's odd moments of humor were some of my favorite parts as well, though.

No, he didn't. :( Rediscovering the Butler's discovery of it gets me right in the feels every time.
