ETZO

Etzo groaned as he made his way along the streets of Oasis, head pounding as the remenants of the previous night of drinking brought lance after agonizing lance of pain screeching through his rather impressive head, cursing that he had once more forgoten put together a cure for hangovers, the thought always coming to late, and soon replaced by more...exotic concepts. At least the night had been somewhat productive. The scrawny Hylian grinned as he fished the strange ivory trinket out of his pocket, a decidedly thick molar held between his thumb and forefinger.

Somehow, in one of his many stops along a particularly determined bar crawl, he had happened upon a bar right in mid-brawl. He would have been happy to leave it be, but luck had been with him as he watched one of the few Goron inhabiting the town take a rather solid blow from a thick chair to his jaw, looseing the tooth into the fray. He chuckled as he remebered the frenzied crawl to grab the rare find, dozens of ideas for such item springing to his mind, a faint warm feeling enveloping him, though wether it had been the fragment acting up or the previous drinks, he couldn't rightly say.

Etzo was sharply brought back to the present as one of the many bruises gained from rushing into a brawl made their distaste at his laughing known, ribs aching slightly. Sighing once more, he replaced the tooth back into one of the many folds of his robes, hand returning with a sheaf of slightly stained paper, the manifesto for projected ingredients needed in the coming weeks, as well as a few hopeful requests for more exotic items. The haggard alchemist doubted he'd get most of them, indeed most had already been rejected before, but Etzo was nothing if not persistent.

Adjusting his glasses and trying to beat out a few of the stains and dust from his robes, the dishelved alchemist shuffled through the doors to the HQ of the resistance, manifesto held forward with the same zeal a priest may present his faith, knowing if he didn't get these approved before the wagons arrived, he could be looking at weeks before he could request to refresh his reserves.

"Now I know that things are hectic, but we are sorely in need of some deku leaves," he said as he entered the main room, not talking to anyone in particular rather than announcing himself to whomever might listen, "or we could be looking at a rather depressing drop in potions for our skirmishers, and I know we've discussed the dangers of bringing in a live peahat but," he paused as he awaited the by now expected rebuttals, the distant look on his face disappearing as he realized no one was paying attention to him, adjusting his glasses once more as he took in the scene, preparation seeming to be coming together, with the words attack and supply team floating through the room.

The thought of his supplies being placed in danger brought on a short wave of anxiety, before searching out the man currently in charge of the situation, a look of curoisity flavoring the distant smile that usually plasters his face,"I don't suppose this is simply to greet the wagons coming here, that lack I potions I was mentioning earlier will be in much greater peril if I cant replinsh my stores,"he told the man, trying to hide the true depths of his worry. Etzo had in all actuality bribed the merchants to bring him a few live bubbles, and it'd be such a shame to have it all be for naught.

@Jester Acharis How long would she have been in Oasis at the start. Seeing as she's supposed to be a curious type, Etzo's work shop would certianly be an interesting place I should think. Though if he's in the middle of a breakthrough, his manic demeanor might set off her cautious/mistrusting side. Just curious so I can see how he should interact with the others.

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

That, and after recently replaying OoT, there's a NPC in Castle Town who says the Gerudo sometimes come to town to look for boyfriends, and they have the carpenters they took hostage, and besides, they're a theif clan, they certianly aren't stealing from each other. Hell Nabooru's whole reason for rejecting ganondorf was he was attacking women and children.

:P

I got an idea of how it'll probably go down honestly, but I keep quiet and see how it lands.

@The Fox Without

I'm sure Yuri would be willing to give him a few samples of her leaf... For a price of course. No need to be a thief about it. Others probably don't like money as much as she does though, you may have to steal whatever it is you want off their bodies.

@Kafka Komedy

...Somehow it seems dirty if I pay for it XD

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

@Kafka Komedy

Ah good, then maybe he can escape unscathed, already got an ingredient list of things he might be trying to sneak from a few of the others.

One idea is I'm gonna make a few weapon coatings, a la dark souls

The Legend of Zelda: Fragments of Hope

Tossing an idea out there - depending upon how long each of us has been at the Oasis, our characters may have gotten to know each other. Relationships may have formed, be it friendship, casual acquaintanceship, drinking buddies, sparring partners, etc. Teaching and/or learning new skills from NPCs or each other maybe.

Looking at character histories and their locations during the war, some of them might even have relationships prior to coming to Oasis. Any thoughts?

@Sigil

Sounds like a good idea to me, though before the Kakariko Massacre, Etzo really had little contact with people then necessary, but seeing as he's been in Oasis for a minute by this point, and his propensity for the bars, I imagine he's at least known to a few of the people who've been there long enough.

Hmm. I planned on Yuri reaching Oasis just a day earlier from the start of the RP, so i dont believe that anything would happen there. The only thing i could think of is maybe Etzo was a frequent customer? After all, i doubt all those ingredients were legal, and Yuris the girl for the job if you want smuggled goods.

@Kafka Komedy

This sounds good to me, seeing as he's always looking to try new combonations, so he's more than likely to have bought some rather shady ingredients. Speaking of, I imagine it's going to be interesting to have all the races around Etzo, so many new ingredients.

On a separate note, would you say Yuri's head leaf thingy is more like hair or skin with its sensitivity. For curiosities sake.

(Oh god, I'm not sure I can keep his own allies from hurting him)
