Hello everyone

I think I've been gone for a while. I have 340 new post replies dating back to about one month ago... I guess I was maybe... a statue... so apparently, that's something that really does happen in this place.

Who put me back in my house? What exactly happened this past month? Something with dragons? Is everyone alright??

And does anyone have something I can eat, right now? The food I have here has all gone bad.

Thanks...

you were a statue for a month?

[bakedapple]

It's hard for me to confirm if that's what happened. I don't remember... being a statue. But I once heard a rumor that it afflicts people randomly sometimes, and I'm not sure how to explain the gap in my memory otherwise.

Did anything else happen that made people call unconscious this month?

[bakedapple]

Are you alright Rin? Is the town alright? What happened?

May I come over to eat?

[parakalein]

I'm not sure, I just turned up a couple of weeks ago.
How long were you here, before you became a statue?

[satanslash]

bit bruised from getting tossed around but i survived it

and yeah always man, come get your fill

[bakedapple]

ah, I see... welcome, then. Although I'm sure others have told you already, we are all in the same situation and we are trying to stick together through this. Please ask me if you need help with anything.

I've been here for about four months, not including when I was a statue.

[Link arrives at Rin's cafe about half an hour later. He looks no different from usual, although he's still bundled up as if it were as cold as it was in February.

He walks back into the kitchen, where he assumes Rin is.]

Rin, it's me, Link. I wouldn't mind a bowl of soup, if you've got any...

[satanslash]

[Good guess. His laptop is sitting out at an otherwise empty table nearby, but he has relocated back in to the kitchen to work on things and wait for Link to arrive.]

You sure you don't want more than that?

I don’t have a lot of food, but I have a potion that improves the flavor of colorless things.

[bakedapple]

Really?

Where did you get it

[bakedapple]

[Link grins at him.]

Well, if you're offering more than that, I won't turn it down.

[He leans casually against the edge of the counter.] Man, I'm so glad everyone turned out alright while I was a statue.

[passio]

A friend left it with me. I don’t really need it, but it might help if you want some variety from around town.

[ Well. That's really fucked up. ]

Were you able to get something to eat?

[bakedapple]

Oh. There's no reason to give me something special like that. I can get along with the restored food well enough.

Thank you, though.

[bakedapple]

[Pyra...

their last interaction was, well, awkward. He thinks of an excuse.]

I have but it's kinda far from where I am right now. Do you know anyplace good in Flavo?

[bakedapple]

A little. If you're offering, I'd definitely still take it.

[satanslash]

You got it!

[Of course he's offering more! Link has been gone for the whole month! Rin missed his friend.]

It was a close call. I was sore as hell the next day. I lost track of how many times I hit the ground gettin' tossed off one of 'em.

[passio]

I see. Is there a food you really want?

[shizun]

I can't promise it will be tasty, but it will be edible.

[ This is a statement that sparks joy. No, no, it isn't. ]

[lacrimose]

[Fortunately for him, Akira is oblivious.]

There's a couple of nice cafes around town. do you know them?

sorry for the wait!

[bakedapple]

don't think so but maybe you can take me to your favorite. Whichever one has the best food... or tea. Hot tea

gah, sorry for the wait!!

[bakedapple]

[Link's grin twitches. The sword and shield on his back start to feel strangely heavier than usual.

After looking away for a moment, he hops up backwards to sit on the counter behind him.]

What happened, exactly...? Dragons just showed up and started trying to kill everyone?

sorry for the wait!

[bakedapple]

Hmm. I guess I'd love a bowl of pumpkin soup right now. Or apple pie... or a seasoned bear steak.
