Portal Three: Hyrule

Cat was launched out of the portal and fell. Then she fell again. And again. In fact, it was just one continuous fall, since she had told Jerm to set the portal opening over the Lake.
"OHMYGOOOOOOOSH!"

Sploosh.

{Maha. Yes, I said 'sploosh'. Just 'cause.}

[OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU]

A redhead with bright blue eyes, elongated pointy ears, and farm attire glanced up from her milk wagon.

"What in Nayru's name...?"

Meanwhile, another girl toppled abruptly from the sky, landing in the water with flailing arms and legs, and a gargled shriek.

Malon stopped the cart.

Now, as we all know, cats+water=spaz attack. Cat, being parly catlike thanks to Jerm, had a coniption fit as she clawed her way onto a small island. "Geez...I'm never doing that again..."

Marie made her way with even strokes, and commenced wringing her hair out.

"I'm beginning to think he enjoys this," she said, thinking of Jerm irritably.

"It wasn't his idea," Cat said, shaking her hands disgustedly. "It was mine, in case Tepis tried to escape. He'd have to grow wings to get up there."

Marie shrugged, but her indifference was quickly replaced by giddiness. "So...what's up first?"

[Quick Q...are we allowed to use the chars from KoH here...like Fell and Kad and stuff, without replicating profiles?]

{{Naturally.}}

"I get dry," Cat muttered, looking at her sopping self. "Then we get our bearings, unless--" she watched Marie dart off. "--or not."

Marie had located a small boat, and was in the process of untying it.

"Come on, Cat!" she yelled, drumming on the water with her paddle impatiently

"More water...lovely..." She inched into the boat, grabbing the sides as it rocked. "Okay, I'm ready. The sooner we get to shore, the better."

The boat shot forth with an amazing amount of strength on Marie's part, which most likely had to do with her anxiety to get to shore and explore Hyrule

Malon squinted her eyes and watched as the boat drew closer...should she run and hide?

Cat was set on her rear as the boat sped towards shore. "Eep!" She righted herself and looked to the shore. "Marie, slow down! We're gonna hit--"

"Too late. The hit the shore.

Marie was thrown headlong onto the shore, sailing through the air, and landing with a satisfying THUD right at Malon's feet

The farm girl looked at the strangers with startled eyes.

Cat landed on her feet, naturally, and shook her head at Marie. "What next, girl? Are elves gonna start toing moo-juice around in wagons?" She noticed Malon for the first time and gaped. "Oh. I guess they are."

Marie's eyes widened, and her mouth followed suit, so much so that she resembled something of a fish.

"Y-you're Malon!" she fairly yelled, "From Lon Lon Ranch!!"

Malon was aptly startled , "...Do I..do I know you?" she said, puzzled.

"You'll have to excuse her," Cat said. "She's had a long day." She bent down to help Marie to her feet, whispering in her ear as she did so. "Don't lose control, girl. Act civilized."

Marie was shaking from the sheer wonder of it all.

Malon didn't quite know what to think, "I'm on my way back there now. I was just making my deliveries...would you like to accompany me?"

Judging by their behavior, Malon thought they wouldn't last two minutes without her taking them in.

"I'm sure she would," Cat said. "But where are my manners? I'm Cat." She bowed. "This is Marie."

"Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Malon smiled happily, "Hop in the back then." she said, alighting upon the wagon, and taking the reigns in her hands.

Cat climbed onto the wagon, dumping a last bit of water out of her squishing shoes.

"What will father say?" she thought, frowning, "Ah, well...he's always wanted me to find some friends...I suppose he'll welcome them with open arms..."

Cat looked at Marie. "Kinda quiet. You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah..." she said, oddly distant, "Just thinkin', that's all..."

"About....?"

"This...how it's possible...it's amazing..."

She sighed, "And about how I'd be if I hadn't met you and Jerm."

Cat grinned. "You'd be drowning in algebra homework," she said simply. "You're welcome."
