bearsperminute1: Advanced Armor Training (Flotsam)
The building wasn't exactly new, but it was set up like a lecture hall, and slowly filling up with wannabe Armor pilots and people who had piloted an armor before but had never really fully learned the trick. There were even a couple Outlanders out there who were eager to get in the control harness.
"GOOD MORNING, SPOKEN AND GENTLEKIN!" Kanna may not be the best teacher, but if there was one thing she knew, it was piloting Armors, and a few tricks that even someone without her reserves of Ether could manage. "I'm Kanna Chrysanthemum, and welcome to Advanced Armor Tactics, a series of lectures and practical training in how to pilot Giant Armors, heading into tactics suited for the half-lance composition the Corsairs are using right now. Some of you may be wondering what an actress is doing up here, I'll get to that, don't worry.
"I'm going to assume that if you're here, you've already got the basics of moving in a Giant Armor down, and you wanna start learning how to fight in the things, because as I'm sure those of you who have tried have noticed, it's not quite like moving your body. It's my hope that by the time we're done here, just about any set of tactics you can manage on foot, you can do in Giant Armor."
If you want to have some training to do things in Armors better, this is the place to come!
2: Flowers and Purity (Elysium)
"Let's see... If I remember where Link and I went... Yeah! This is the place."
The wilderness of Elysium suddenly cleared, to a pond and a waterfall, around which several animals were gathered, wary, as always.
Mists from the waterfall filled the air, and the scent of the cave behind it hinted at what was beneath.
But that's not why she's here today, that's for later.
"So, how d'you like it?"
3: Flowers and Nutrition (general)
Kanna tended to eat a lot. Being pretty active on her own initiative, using Ether operating Armors, working out for hours-- all of it works up an appetite, and she's six and a half feet tall. So, when it came to barracks food, she wanted plenty and probably more than average.
Which is why she was here, in a communal kitchen, cooking up vegetables, fish, rice, and whatever other things she could get her hands on to sate it.
Mind you, she probably shouldn't be here, if only because the cooks will be mad, but she keeps odd hours, and so! The sound and smell of saute, the bubbling of pots, the drama of if she'll finish before someone comes to investigate--!

乙巳 004: 大寒
Jan. 24th, 2025 12:53 pmsinglemilletgrain[video broadcast]
Greetings again, Corsairs.
[As usual, following a bow, Shu addresses the video feed with perfect poise and elegance.]
After the... challenging events of the New Year's mission, I wish to call for some levity. In Yan, as the year changes, we visit the temples to have our fortunes told for the coming year. It is just for fun, of course. In Dahuang, I keep a place of worship to... [a faint pause] a Xian of agriculture, Shennong, and occasionally run the festivities.
Please come by. There will be traditional New Year's food, of course.
[If anyone has learned anything about Yan at this point, it is that they have Too Many Holiday Traditions and Too Much Food.]
[option 1: just for fun]
[Shu's doorway is vibrantly decorated in red and gold, and when she ushers you in, the most immediate sight is the table filled with plates and plates of food. Mostly dumplings, for dumplings are easiest for visitors, but also whole fish, noodle dishes, and sticky rice.
To the side, there is a little chest with two sets of burning incense at either side. Fortune seekers are invited to kneel, burn incense if they wish, pray for luck from whatever deity or the general karmic wheel of the universe, and then reach out for a container of what look like sticks. There is a little sign explaining this is the tradition of 'qiu qian,' beseeching insight from the gods.
One must ask a clear question, shake the container a few times, and pull out a stick.]
[option 2: the real thing]
[Shu sits at her 'priest's seat' and laughs lightly at the interpretation of the fortune received. Perhaps she sees something more ponderous in your eyes, for after a moment or two, she clasps her hands together and exhales lightly, bowing her head.
Her red pupils have constricted to tiny dots when she raises her head once more.]
...I could give you a better fortune, if you wish.
((If you pick option 2, Shu will either tell you in very vague prophetic terms something that may or may not happen in the future of your canon, something that happened in the past of your canon, or give you a random item that might be useful to you this year. If you pick option 1, it will be total nonsense.))

Quest 07 (Open + Closed)
Jan. 18th, 2025 11:48 amnewmemorywhodisi. Making new, wolfy friends [Open]
In the wild areas near Elysium, Link’s been exploring. It’s a common activity for him. There’s mushrooms and flowers to pick, game to hunt, monsters to fight…
…Then one day, while he’s up in a tree collecting some bird’s eggs, he spots a wolf. A big wolf. A really, really big wolf. It’s as big as a horse.
And once he makes that mental connection, Link immediately thinks, I could ride that.
Which naturally means Link now has to find out if he can. He pulls out a Sneaky Elixir, and swiftly swallows it - demeaning the sounds of his movements. Silently uses his paraglider to move from tree to tree, getting closer. And then carefully drops down behind the massive, monstrous wolf.
He crouches down. Creeps forward. Slowly, slowly. Until he’s right behind the beast, so close he could reach out and touch its fur.
And then he leaps up onto its back, and grabs on.
The wolf yelps and snarls - but Link’s got a good position, and he doesn’t let it twist back and bite him. He just directs the beast to run, and keeps a good hold.
What do you know, he can ride it!
ii. A retrieval of memories [locked to Shu]
Shu had spoken to the Admiral. They’d tracked down the Imperial Commander who’d been given Link’s Purah Pad.
And then they’d sneaked onto the Commander’s warship and completely trashed his quarters.
Well, Link had trashed his quarters. Shu was a bit too dignified for such wanton destruction, but Link wasn’t. And he didn’t regret it either, since in the process, he’d found the Pad!
Now, their getaway was nearly complete. Here in a small alleyway in Elysium, they were far from the scene of the crime. The Crimson Portal wasn’t far off.
But Link had to pause. He hadn’t had a chance yet, but - he had to see. Were all of his pictures still on the Purah Pad? Were they safe?
He pulls out the Pad, and turns it on. And turns to the photo gallery.
iii. Link has a slide show and he’s gonna make you watch it [semi-closed]
Later, Link thinks of all the new people he’d met. People who’d helped him grow plants from home, or who’d shown interest in things from his home. Shu wasn't the only one who he knew would like to see his pictures.
Before, he hadn't had any way of sharing these images of his home. But…now he could.
So Link tracks those people down. Says, “Hi,” when he finds them. And then shoves the Purah Pad - with a picture from Hyrule that would interest them on the screen - right in their face.
[[ooc: this prompt is for Nephenee, Ilphyll, Donnie, Maomao and Atom - but could be open to others if there's a reason for Link to decide to share]]
iv. Wildcard!
