zelda_queenZeldaQueen: Good news, everyone! After a long, insane trek, we are nearly finished with this horrible wank-fest! Just ten chapters left! Once again, I shall be playing Kate and Link, who can't seem to catch a break, will be playing Barbossa
Link: *examining himself in costume* Do you think the Props Department will notice if I stole this hat? It's really nice!
ZeldaQueen: Personally, I like your green one better
Link: That's because you never wore it when it was a really annoying and chatty wizard. The negative memory association, I'll tell you...
ZeldaQueen: Well, let's talk about that after this performance
THE CURTAINS RISE FOR...

Chapter 20
Kate: Here we are, just two days away from Shipwreck Cove. I happen to know that Beckett is planning to invade, because I'm awesome like that. Fortunately, I'm armed with a dead herring and will begin to beat the readers with how the pirates will all surely fight to the death for their freedom and never, ever let Beckett win. Isn't this much better than Stephenie Meyer's writing? She wishes she had dead herrings like this! I mean, total dead herring envy!
Barbossa: My eyes are intent. Are you sure you want to go to Shipwreck Cove?
Kate: I don't see why not. I'm one of the nine pirate lords, after all, seeing as Gethesemane wrote out Elizabeth being named as Sao Feng's successor
Barbossa: Yeah, but are you really, really, sure?
Kate: Um, yeah. My public needs me, after all
Barbossa: I mean really, really, reeeeeeeeeeally -
Kate: What are you getting at? And why are you so nervous? I'm so bothered by how uncharacteristic it is, that I must spell "uncharacteristic" incorrectly
Barbossa: Well...it's just "that gypsy". You know, Calypso? Even though she's technically not a gypsy and I'm not even sure that a pirate in the Caribbean waters in this time period would know the term "gypsy" -
Kate: Yeah, I know. She wants to kill me when she's released. I guess she wants the satisfaction of having the official title of "Sea Goddess", because it's really not explained why she doesn't just use her magic to kill me now, but whatever
Barbossa: That's it. I don't want you to join us at the meeting because we need all nine Lords to agree. I guess I just can't refuse to release her, since she's apparently weak enough in human form to be locked up and killed or whatever, but Gethesemane must remind her readers how I'm now whipped into only worrying about you
Kate: Oh, don't worry. There's no way I'd let a canon female dare to become more powerful than me. I'm going to just steal Elizabeth and Jack's idea and urge the Brethren Court to fight Beckett
Barbossa: Worthy cause, but you've got other reasons, right? I mean, it's not like you've done anything else in this fic purely out of altruism - erm, I mean, I have a feeling
Kate: Bluh what? No, no, certainly not! I have no ulterior motives, and it's certainly not because I am now in love with Davy Jones and want to free him from the dreadful bonds of canon, nope! There's nothing between us, nothing at all!
Barbossa: Whatever. You two totally have the hots for each other
Kate: Not at all! If I murder his canon love interest though, it'll...free him from his curse. Yeah. That's how Gethesemane's justifying it, anyway. So I'm going to do that. It really makes me look brave and heroic and certainly not like an insane yandere like Alex Forrest. Anyway, I've almost gone for the entire chapter without wangsting about my pregnancy, so I'll just do that now
Barbossa: Huh, I figured you were pregnant. Apparently was the only on. "At least we know it's Jack's", because after all, pirates are notorious for being faithful lovers
Kate: "At least I've done one thing right"
Barbossa: Allow me to brush aside your token acceptance of your mistakes to disagree. "You don't know how many lives you've saved, or how many you will save as a consequence of fighting for the freedom of every man who calls himself pirate. Your father would be proud of ye, that much is certain". Or, you know, I'm sure he would be if he wasn't busy being in At Stranger Tides. Anyway, I've pretty much replaced Will and Elizabeth entirely, so good on you *walks off, leaving the Sue alone with her thoughts, so quite alone*

Date: 2011-05-24 03:18 am (UTC)I wasn't a big fan of the cartoonish-style Zeldas. That's just me though. My sister and I can't wait for the new one, it's kind of the thing we do together :D.
(My sis and I called those the humping zombies. We HATED them...because they scared us half to death. Could be the graphics in OOT but I don't have many complaints about it for TP. I LOVED TP.)
(no subject)
Date: 2011-05-24 04:20 am (UTC)Oh lord, I didn't know what they were when I first ran into them! I really was an idiot. I was playing OOT, and I honestly had no idea how Zelda games worked. It was a rented game, and I fell down the Royal Family tomb in Kakariko Graveyard. I went into the second room and saw a humanoid figure. "Well," said I, "It must be a person! I shall go talk to them!" Cue two seconds later, as Link freezes, the most terrifying scream ever comes out, and I nearly die from shock. Also, because I was an idiot, I mistook the rape/strangling for it being some tormented person trying to get Link to help them. Yeah, I REALLY didn't know how Zelda games worked. Link died, of course, and I didn't go down that tomb again for months.

Date: 2011-05-24 06:58 am (UTC)LOL. My sister and I first saw them getting that song in the grave (the one that freezes the little bastards!). We heard the groaning before seeing them and were all 'uh oh' and then one attacked me and Link died and I had to get my friend to go through for me. I still hate the humping zombies, I can't stand the moaning. The ones in WW were kind of creepy with the screaming. Actually, my sis and I never knew the names for any of the enemies (except bosses) so we made up new names for everything. Hence why we call the ReDead Humping Zombies (because they hump you to death!). :D. We are dorks. They are also the reason why my sister never played a Zelda game (except WW I think) she always hated the ReDead so I had to play >.<.

Date: 2011-05-25 02:02 am (UTC)Also, apparently Link's going to be about twenty in this. I predict a BIG spike in Mary Sues in Hyrule.
My brother and I both were terrified of ReDeads, so I'd play and we'd both kind of hover around, whimpering and going "Okay, go on in" "Are you sure it's alright?" "Yes, it's fine. There's none in OH SWEET JESUS THERE'S ONE!!!" AHH! WHERE?!?" "No, wait, that's an iron maiden" "Stupid graphics -_-" I was freaked out by the screaming of the WW ones, but the designs...meh. The gold hoop earrings kind of made me crack up. XD
