"He was quite rambunctious indeed! The fairies that accompanied him however did seem to notice that his mischievous acts had gotten out of hand with assault and theft. Whether they're still following him, I do not know. But if they get in your way, I'd ask that you do what you feel you should. For that mask is the most precious one in my inventory and every second it's out there on this imp's face, the risk of the world ending in fire and brimstone grows ever so higher! That said I do hope it does not come off as selfish when I'd ask that you make haste. For even stripped of that mask, my inventory is still quite stocked and I cannot be confined to one place for long. Three days is how long I'll stay here before I have to move on. I do hope you return my mask to me before that time."
As Yuki assured the salesman that him and Yuno could be trusted, the Salesman's smile grew even wider.
"The second I laid my eyes upon you, I could note that there was something great about the way you carried yourself. You'll move on to doing great things I'm sure. Just so long as you can return my mask in the allocated time anyhow! I'll be here waiting and entertaining myself in the meantime." He'd say as he gave a wave to see the others off but as Eddy and the others started on their way, the Salesman heard a certain line of words escape from Eddy's mouth.
"What a load of bunk."
Load of Bunk
Load of Bunk
LOAD OF BUNK?!!?!
The Masked Salesman's happy facade finally seemed to crack as he gripped Eddy by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up to face level.
"Do you realize what you've said?! You'd be so willing to write off something that could bring the world to a stifling halt as 'bunk?!" TSUNAMIS, EARTHQUAKES, FLASH-FLOODS, TORNADOES, THE MASK CAN DO ALL OF THIS AND YOU'RE SO SELFISH THAT YOU'D HANDWAVE IT ALL AWAY!?"
Eddy was understandably terrified that this creepy looking guy with pointy ears had grabbed him and was now shaking him in a violent manner. So much so that he couldn't even respond. But he would be let down as Kratos held one of his blades right up against the Salesman's neck.
"Release the boy or I'll end you and this mask of yours." The spartan growled and having no combat experience at all, the Salesman complied and his eyes watered.
"P-Please don't hurt me! I've already suffered enough!" Not satisfied with that, Kratos gripped the Salesman up by the neck and headbutted him repeatedly before flinging him to the ground. All the while he still had that seemingly permanent smile on his face.
"I've stared down gods. This mask you speak so highly of means nothing to me. I'll find the one responsible for taking it and I'll see if it can truly back up the power you claim it to have." With that Kratos turned and walked off with the Eds quietly following in step behind him. Eddy was grateful for the save but somehow he felt that a manly guy like this wouldn't really appreciate a 'thanks man' very much. Pushing himself up from where Kratos had flung him, the Masked Salesman coughed to clear his throat.
"Wait, please! There is something I forgot to tell you! The night I reached town, I knew that the imp had already used Majora's power for chaotic reasons. If you'd like to find out how then just look up at the sky when you walk outside..I'm sure you'll be able to deduce what he plans to do. Also, there are four sections to Clock Town so I suggest that your group splits up to try and cover more ground and see what you can pick up about Skull Kid. Hurry on now or you might be met with a terrible fate. That'd be something now wouldn't it?" His cryptic warning given, the Happy Mask Salesman made his way over to the organ to resume playing as the doors shut behind the group once they were all out.
"Man, that guy was a jerkwad. Didn't even offer us any reward for finding the stupid thing! I hope he goes home flat broke when those three days are up, eh Lumpy? ..Ed? Double D?" Eddy glanced at his two friends who appeared to have their attention glued to the sky. "What's so important up there that you have to-AHHHHHH!!" Eddy shrieked upon seeing the
face staring down at him.
"Who's that good looking guy?" Ed asked as he seemed completely unaware that the moon now had a face. With teeth, eyes, a nose the works. Double D was simply
outraged.
"This is simply a mockery of everything that science has ever stood for! I'd even go as far as to call it a perversion! The moon is something that be should be studied and analyzed and even visited if the opportunity arises! Not made into a living thing with it's own sentience! I don't need any monetary reward! In only a short span of time this brat has managed to deface one of the most valuable celestial bodies in the known universe! With a mask of all things! We can't waste any time! We must get on the search-Is it just me or is the moon a lot closer than it usually is? Good lord, he's planning to drop the moon on the town!"
How mortifying! So many people killed, it'd be similar in power to the event that killed the dinosaurs! If the Earth even survived the collision what would be left to live on it? Who would
want to live on it?! Before Double D could ponder further, Ed had bundled Eddy and Double D under each arm and after briefly skimming one of the signs describing the South Section of Clock Town.
["
Urgently Recruiting! Workers wanted to build the festival tower for the carnival. See Mutoh."]
"CARNIVAL GUYS! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!"
Not watching as the Eds may their way off, Kratos could only stare at the moon. To effect a celestial body like this took power. He'd even say a god's level of power. But if the gods of Olympus couldn't be trusted to handle their power and not abuse it, how could a child? He had to be found and brought to heel before the moon came any closer. For even he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop it's descent if it got enough power behind it.
"I'll be taking the West Section. That'll leave you two with the East and North. I imagine you'll split it among yourselves." With that Kratos used his blades and swinging onto a nearby rooftop he raced off. The sign for the West Section had been as thus.
[Come to the West side of Clock Town! We've everything you can dream of! Stop by to see the illustrious dancing twins, or perhaps take a stop by the Curiosity Shop if it suits your fancy!]
This left the North Section and East Section to be searched by the remaining group members. Or they could choose to follow the Eds and see what turned up there.
[ East Clock Town is the entertainment district of Clock Town, featuring many establishments such as the Honey & Darling's Shop, the Town Shooting Gallery and the Treasure Chest Shop. Also in East Clock Town is the Stock Pot Inn, the Mayor's Residence, and the Milk Bar! Stop by if you're feeling a little on the wild side and want some enjoyment!]
[Welcome to the North Section of Clock Town! Want somewhere to drop your kids off or venture out into Termina Field for some adventuring? Drop by the Deku Scrub Playground!]
