"I'm new here! My name is Cam."

"That didn't really answer the question," says the brown one. The cyan one elbows him.

"Do you need assistance?" she says instead.

(The merchant guy the birds were talking to has wandered off, their conversation apparently over. Galli's heading back to the stable, stopped by a fire to chat with another man in a brown tunic—)

("...Lester, are ghosts real?"
"Are ghosts what? How would I know?"
"The customer said—"
"Customers say they shit gold after breakfast.")

(—it's in a variant dialect Cam has a worse but functional grasp of.)

"Nope, I'm just popping in here to say that Revali's ghost is in the divine beast overhead and he says hi and I'm going to try to fix his whole situation along with other issues around here. He mentioned a Calamity Canon."

Permalink

"You mean Calamity Ganon?"

The blue bird kicks the brown one again.

"Excuse me, you're saying you—you're talking about Master Revali? The Rito Champion from before the Calamity? You spoke to his ghost?"

Permalink

"Yeah, he's up in the divine beast." Point. "The one that's making it annoying to fly. He didn't warn me about that."

Permalink

Did Cam leave the nonfunctional Sheikah Slate up there or is he carrying it with him anywhere visible, by any chance?

Permalink

He left it, he can make another one whenever he wants!

Permalink

"That's... a rather outlandish claim. Are you supposed to be some sort of spirit?" The blue one sounds doubtful.

"He didn't even imply that," says the brown one. "I heard the people across the great ocean look like that."

Permalink

"Do they? I'm not from there but that's interesting to know. I'm not a spirit."

Permalink

"Stories," the blue one says. "Do you have any proof of this?"

Permalink

Shrug. "It's not especially important if you don't believe me, he said to tell you 'hi', not, like, 'evacuate'."

Permalink

They exchange a glance.

"Okay?" says the blue one. "I'll... pass that on, then."

The brown one elbows her. "What was Master Revali like? Is he as cool as the stories say?"

"We have work to do."

"You mean standing around looking pretty?"

Permalink

"He's very concerned about Calamity Ganon. Would you say that's a serious issue?"

Permalink

The blue one is getting irritated. "Is that supposed to be a joke?"

"Well, the last time Calamity Ganon appeared it destroyed, like, all of Hyrule Kingdom."

"Maya!"

"I'm right! Wait, is it coming back? Is that what the Elders were whispering all about?"

Permalink

"Is it not obvious from here? That's what I was told, anyway, and there was ostensibly Ganon-related gunk in the divine beast."

Permalink

"The news from the travelers is suggestive," the blue one says, "But only the Elders are old enough to remember the Great Calamity, and they haven't formally spoken on the matter. These signs could merely be an... aftershock. By the account of the legend by the Hylians, Calamity Ganon only rises once in many thousands of years. It has only been one hundred. It does not mean whatever is happening isn't dangerous, of course."

The words has the air of an explanation repeated a great many times.

Permalink

"Good to have more perspective on that, I knew I needed to fact-check! If you wanted to find out for sure where would you go and what would you do there?"

Permalink

"You should ask the Elders," says the brown one.

"You could ask the Elders," admits the blue one reluctantly. "Or you could visit the Sheikah, who studied the Divine Beasts and Ganon before the Great Calamity. You could also seek out the Zora—their people live long, so many of them would have been there one hundred years ago."

Permalink

"Oh, good ideas." He pulls out his computer to write those down. "Where can I talk to the Elders, as long as I'm in town?"

Permalink

"You can find Elder Kaneli, the cheftain, at the cheftain's roost at the highest point of Rito Village." The blue one points. She's staring at the computer. "Elder Sala is on expedition to Tabantha, and will return in five days."

The brown one does not limit himself to staring. "What is that?"

Permalink

"It's called a computer. I'd explain more but it'd take a long time. Thank you!" And off he goes to the high point.

Permalink

Nobody stops him! Some people try to get him to buy stuff or stay in their inn. There are a few other off-brand humans—Hylians—here, just sort of hanging out and enjoying the view, so maybe the village is open to tourism? There doesn't appear to be any sort of access controls, or indeed architectural elements like "doors" or "fully enclosed walls", even for what appears to be people's private residences.

The village isn't laid out completely linearly, but if he sticks to the central spiral staircase up he won't have navigational difficulty getting to the very top. A large, rotund owl person is seated in a rocking chair there, reviewing a sheaf of papers. He looks up as Cam appears. He does not have a secretary or anything; it's just them.

Permalink

"Hello, sir, I've just been up in the divine beast overhead and Revali's ghost says hi and that he's very concerned about Calamity Ganon."

Permalink

Owl man almost drops his papers. He cranes forward, setting down his work on a table next to him.

"Master Revali's ghost? He is—in Vah Medoh?"
