fandomhigh | Great Legends of Hyrule; Wednesday, Third Period [02/16].

"Don't get too comfortable, everyone!" Sidon announced, once everyone had gotten to the classroom, his grin particularly eager and sharp that morning. "Because today, our Great Legend will lead us on a fantastic voyage....to the Danger Shop! Let us go and see what great wonders await us! Last one there is an octorock's bladder!"

Leave it to Sidon to make even a traverse across the school to the Danger Shop an exciting, rallying experience, offering up words of encouragement as they went. Once inside, they would find themselves in a lush, green forest, with plenty of trees and little hillocks and underbrush.

"Today," Sidon announced eagerly, "we are going to talk about the great mysterious blupee! A small, spiritual creatures that dwell within the forests of Hyrule, the blupee is said to be about the size of a large rabbit, and to move similarly, with bounds and hops and quick leaps and evasive manuvers. They're said to glow blue, with the body of the aforementined rabbit, but the face of an owl, and golden wreaths in place of ears! They are said to be swift, and very easily startled, and very few people have ever seen the enigmatic blupee! Some claim that they are mere figments of the imagination, but there are others who say they have not only seen a blupee, but they have discovered that, when one strikes one with an arrow, the blupee, while unharmed, will drop rupees for the archer to collect before disappearing into the spiritual realm from whence it came!"

As he spoke, of course, there was a flash of blue from somewhere behind him. Sidon turned toward it for a moment, then turned back toward the students with a grin. "Did you see that? I think we may have a few blupees in our midst even now as we speak! Now, surely, not all of us here are excellent marksmen, so perhaps shooting a blupee might be a bit out of our scope right now, but surely, at least someone at some time has certainly tried to catch a blupee in other ways! And if not?"

He laughed, beaming at them all.

"Then we shall be the first! Remember, though, they are quite skittish, and remarkably fast, so you may need to be quite sneaky and swift or perhaps even clever yourself in order to catch one! Sighting a blupee in the wild is a rare event indeed, so let us make the most out of it! Are there any questions before we begin? If not, let us begin our hunt, and may you find yourself quite victorious!"

Try not to be too distracted by the wisps of blue seen hopping among the brush as Sidon shares with you the story of the blupee before unleashing you upon them in what he hopes is a fun departure from the usual Lecture-and-Discussion format he goes for with this class.

If you are a marksman and would like to try you hand at shooting the blupees to get their rupees, there are bows and arrows provided should you so choose! But for everyone else, the chase is on! They're fast, they're sneaky, they definitely don't want to be caught, but you're sure to have a fun time attempting to do so in the moddable forest where they're frollicking.

And don't be at all surprised if you think you've just about got one, only to have it just disappear into thin air!

Even though Alara was getting better with her weapons training, she opted to try her hand at catching the blupee by running around after it and she found herself quite enjoying chasing after them.

A couple of times she thought she’d come close to catching one but both times they faded into thin air because she could catch it.

And here Libby thought all her experience wrangling up Littles would work to her benefit, but these little guys sure were fast! There were a few times she thought she might have had one, only to find her arms empty in the end as they blipped out of her hold at the last second! She had to laugh, though, a little breathless and red-faced from running around with abandon in ways she wouldn't have been able to back home, wondering she she'd have a better time with it if she wasn't having to chase around blupees in a long skirt.

But it was fun. The kind of fun she was too old to be having, really, so she was enjoying it while she could.

Kurt took a moment to watch how his classmates approached the hunt. With a grin he started to give chance after a Blupee of his own. As he got closer and the little thing sped up to zip away from him Kurt grinned as he poofed into nothing only to reappear right behind the little Blupee. He made a grab for it only to find it was like trying to catch air. He gave a laugh and tried again, porting all over the place trying to keep up with the speedy little things.

Libby had just recovered from yet another failed attempt to catch a blupee, breathing out and pushing her hair (which was going to be a terrible tangle when all of this was said and done) out of her face, when Kurt had ported in his own pursuits nearby. She jumped a little, turning and almost pouncing, thinking for a second he was another of the speedy little critters, but thankfully stopped herself in realizing he was just a bit bigger and a bit more blue, and laughed, turning a little pink, because that was a close call!

"Well!" she remarked, giving him a grin, "I think I know what it mist have been like for your parents chasing you around when you were little!"

Kurt stopped short as he came face to face with Libby, almost quite literally and gave a surprised blink and then grinned. He had almost had that Blupee too, Libby!

"Ah would you believe it was probably harder on them 7 or 8 years ago. I was just really finding out I could teleport and I was not good at it at all!"

Random teleports could be much more annoying, and potentially dangerous.

"But yeah, probably a bit harder keeping up with me than your Little's back home" he said with a wink and a smirk that almost seemed to say 'catch me if you can' as he ported away, reappearing on the other side of Libby again to make a grab for a Blupee that had crept up on them as they were talking.

Libby whipped around with a surprised laugh when she realized where Kurt had gone, and an excited gasp when she saw the blupee as Kurt made the grab for it and hurriedly rushed away again.

"Kurt!" she called out, pointing! "There! I think it's going toward that log!"

Kurt looked to where she was pointing and gave a nod and started giving chase. A few steps away he ported out and then appeared right behind the Blupee and jumped, trying to catch it.

"Come here you adorably annoying little thing!" he called out with a laugh as he made a reach for it.

The Blupee seemed to fade away like smoke between his fingers as he darted into the log and Kurt landed on his stomach face first into the grass with a less than graceful "oof" noise escaping him.

"Oh! Kurt!" Libby rushed over to him, hopping carefully over a knot of tangled roots, until she was kneeling down next to him to help him back up. "Are you okay?"

Well, obviously, of course he was, it was the danger shop, but Libby still wasn't quite sure on how all that actually worked.

"Eh yeah... I'm fine. Nothing hurt but my pride and dignity" Kurt said with a slight chuckle as he got to his feet. "Thanks, Libby" he said with a sincere grin. "These little guys are sure fast!"

Interestingly enough, the only time Sidon thought he saw a blupee in the flesh was here at Fandom.

He was, of course, very mistaken on that detail, but still...
