Dawn of the Second Day
Ashtot's body was removed from the pillar, and transferred to the mayor's office, which was temporarily being used as an autopsy room. After the family and friends paid their respects, the lanterns were blown out, and the office was left alone.
Later that night, one town member snuck into the office. East Clock Town, despite being on a state of high alert, still was guarded by Clock Town Guardsmen, who were never known for taking their job too seriously.
Lunatic walked up to the mayor's desk, where
Ashtot's body lay.
"Why did we lose another townie?" She cried out. "What're we going to do?" She sat in one of the chairs that previously sat the mayor's advisers, and held her head in her hands. After a minute of crying, she opened her eyes. A paper on the floor caught her attention.
"Cultic activity detected at the tower?"
Lunatic asked out loud. "What's going on here?" She quickly read through the paper, finally noticing something to catch her eye. The list of confirmed cult members.
The girl was scared. A criminal conspiracy, hidden from the members of Clock Town. Breaking news, for sure, but there was one person who she knew she could talk to.
Three hours later,
Lunatic stood outside the door of the reclusive
ITookYourWaffles, the town's editor in chief of the newspaper. Hiding from the public and sending the final draft of the paper to be printed in town via Takkuri bird.
"Waffles, open up!"
Lunatic shouted, banging on the door. "It's three in the morning, I know! Open the door!"
ITookYourWaffles groaned and got of bed. After some stretching that looked like it would break a normal person's back, the door to the cabin was opened.
Lunatic burst in.
"Found out cult! Searched mayor's offi-" she was cut off by a masked hand covering her mouth and dragging her backwards.
"You're a tricky one to track, almost lost you a few times there," hissed the voice carrying
Lunatic. "But we got you, we did. And you'll make a perfect sacrifice to Majora!"
Lunatic passed out. She woke up a few hours later, her feet tied to rocks. She noticed she was standing at the edge of the back entrance to Woodfall Temple. Panicking, she attempted to run away, but tripped and fell over the edge. Laughter filled the air around the temple as the water where she fell in turned
green.
Meanwhile, back at the edge of the swamp,
ITookYourWaffles was in a panic. Not only had the cabin been discovered, it was by the doomsday cult that had allegedly cursed the moon to crash into the land.
Waffles ran out of the cabin, and went straight towards the Swamp Tourist Center, in hopes that someone would be there.
And indeed there was.
FanousOnTheLoose ran out of the Swamp Tourist Center, and jumped into the waters of the swamp. He clambered out of the water and ran towards
ITookYourWaffles.
"You've gotta help me! These people wearing masks, they took
Lunatic into the swamp. I don't know what's going on over there, but she's in trouble!"
Waffles said nothing, and gestured towards the boat. The couple hopped in, and started to row in the direction of the Deku Palace. Meanwhile, a duo came rowing back towards the exit of the swamp.
"Should we go after them?" The taller one asked.
The shorter one laughed. "Nah. I have an idea. You have the horn, right?"
The tall masked one turned to the partner. "What the hell did you need a horn for?"
"This." The partner said, grabbing it out of their rucksack. He blew into it, causing a loud, bellowing tune to echo throughout the entire swamp. "Remember the Big Octos?"
The two grinned at each other, though they couldn't see it, and high fived each other, running away from the Swamp Tourist Center.
Later in the morning, when Koume arrived later that morning, she would come upon the tourist center, partially collapsed on the body of a Big Octo, the sunken tour boat, and the bodies of
ITookYourWaffles and
FanousOnTheLoose turned
green from Big Octo venom.
The day started normally in Clock Town as the sky became cloudy, but not enough to cover the moon moving a little closer.
Lunatic the
Clock Townie is sleepin' with the fishes.
FanousOnTheLoose the
Clock Townie flipped green.
ITookYourWaffles the
Clock Townie made the headlines.
