"Uh huh! I wanna be a fairy princess too." Penny bobbed her head up and down. "We can pretend though!"
Teagan laughed. "Yeah, we're all great pals."
"So certain in your soon-to-be-hero claim, hm?" Nikko said, raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"Hey, is Robert inside with Layla?"
"Yep."
"We found this odd mask on the ground by Link's house. It kind of, just... Fell out of a tree." She frowned. "Robert's dealt with masks before, correct? He might know about this."
"Oh, definitely! Here, I'll take you inside."
"Thanks, brother!"
Nikko opened the door to the house, where Robert stood over a boiling pot of soup. "Company already?" Robert threw his arms in the air. "I made food, want any-"
"No, no Bob. It's all good.
"Don't call me Bob. Anyway, what's with all the people, sis?"
"But Bob is such a funny name!" She pouted, watching Penelope race to her mother's side in the rocking chair, holding a tiny bundle in her arms. "Anyway, we have to talk to you about something."
"Anything. What's up?" He asked, tapping a spoon against a pot and setting it down beside it, heading over to the group.
Link set the mask on the table. "Do you know anything of this?"
"Hm..." He wiped his hands on a washcloth, examining the object. "It's definitely more tribal than something whimsical. Which one I'm not sure..." He leaned in closer, studying the details. "Ah. This is from an unknown tribe that disappeared long ago. I've read of this in books at Hyrule Castle's Library. It's possible it was used to ward off dark spirits, perhaps? I don't know..."
"So it's a good mask?"
"Like I said, I don't know."

"Yeah, let's pretend." Brooke said, giving a sweet smile when talking to Penelope. The group enetered the house. Brooke listened carefully to what Robert had said about the mask. "Well, at least we know something about it." She said shyly. "And it just fell from the tree?" Brooke asked Teagan for clarification.

Destral felt the need to input his thoughts on the mask.
"I doubt its for warding off spirits, unless its meant to steal their energies and make them run away. It looks like the wearer isn't meant to use it...there are no eye-holes or even a few small holes for breathing."
He was quite certain it wasn't his aura that was the dark energy, but the mask itself had dark energy like his aura. He didn't know why, but he wanted to get away from the mask.
"Listen, you guys stay here, my legs just wanna get moving for a bit."
He quickly headed out the door.

"Alright. Take your time. We'll just hang here, kay Destral?" Teagan said to him as he left.
Robert picked up the mask. "Oh?" He put it close to his face to see if there were any eye-holes. "What could it be used for, then?"

"I have an idea..." Brooke said nervously. "What if it wasn't used for a mask? What if it was used for something different... maybe decoration?" She wondered. The thought of her glowing on her hand came back to haunt her and silently pester her as she spoke, but she acted like nothing was the matter.

"I will consume."
The mask has been equipped, I repeat, the mask has been equipped. Majora's mind was a flurry of frantic thought. Should he take control of this Robert character or wait until Link tried it? He didn't have much time...He might not get another chance like this for a while.
No-...Yes! Do it! This is likely not to happen again!
Majora snarled audibly before speaking so everyone could hear. "You're mine."
The mask suddenly slammed itself onto Robert's face, latching itself there with unforeseen energies. No amount of Robert's frantic pulling or the alarmed shouts of others would get the mask off. After a few moments of stumbling about frantically and desperate attempts to remove the mask, Robert relaxed and stood up straight.
"Finally. A new body. Yes, this one is much better than that Skull Kid fellow. Faster stronger...And leverage to keep you from hurting me."
He stretched his arms and legs. He felt like running a million miles, just because he can. It'd been so long since he had a suitable host.
"...It's good to be back."
"...Consume, everything..."

Jesse had bounced along behind the group, her mind wandering once again as they were introduced to Teagan's family. When she finally snapped back to reality, they were standing inside a nice home with several other people. She instantly blushed and looked around, starting to get a little fidgety.
"Maybe it was an evil spirit that got trapped in the tribal mask as the tribe tried to ward it away...?" she smiled sweetly as she spoke, only her chocolate brown eyes telling them that she was just as stumped as they were. Silence. Jesse noticed Link nervously looking at the mask as if he partially believed her. "I don't know! I've never been in a library where there are books on this kind of thing!"
Suddenly, the mask seemed to put itself on Robert's face. Jesse's eyes widened. "I think I was right..." she said quietly.

Brooke stood there watching over and inspecting the mask. Moments later, the mask appeared to jump and latch onto Robert's face. Startled, she jumped back a step or two, and stared in disbelief. "Why is it talking like that?" Brooke asked the others. "What's gonna happen to Robert? Did he want to put the mask on?" She thought.

"I will consume."
Majora tilted his head slightly to the left and stared blankly at Brooke. His hand lifted up slowly and scratched at his wooden face idly. Boy, she sure talks a lot. Maybe I should zip her mouth shut...Nah, maybe later.
"Talking like what? I'm not talking like anything. You're the one talking weird...and quite often I may add!" He giggled mischeviously. "Oh, Robert's fine. He's just...Someplace else right now. Did he want to put the mask on? Probably not. But he did come pretty close to...And that's what counts."
"...Consume, everything..."

Afraid, brooke took two more steps back, looking over the mask. It felt as though millions of thoughts were running through her head at once. Such as what the mask was, what it wanted, and where Robert really was. Silently and worriedly, Brooke stutered out, "What are you here for?" As soon as the question was asked, she silently wondered what she would get for a reply, and what the mask was going to do or say after replying.

"I will consume."
Majora stopped tilting his head and straightened up a bit. He hadn't come here to play twenty questions, but he figured it'd be nice to pass the time this way until the others snapped out of their shock. This girl was afraid, clearly. Yet she kept on firing questions like a machine crossbow. I guess he could admire that. Or maybe she was just too stupid to be scared. Either way, he answered.
"Power." Majora said simply, "I'm here for power. I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. I tried dropping a moon on the world once. It didn't work, so I'm thinking of trying something more...Direct. You wouldn't happen to have any suggestions, would you?"
"...Consume, everything..."

The mask's answer confused Brooke more than ever. "Well, uhmm... not really. I don't know why I would." She answered the shyly. "Why is it that you have gone through all of this trouble for power?" After asking her final question, Brooke stood up a bit more, but her mind was the opposite. The more she wondered about the mask, the more she grew fearful of it.

"I will consume."
What kind of a question was that? "Why is it that you have gone through all this trouble for power?" Pssh! Well first off, it hadn't been that much trouble getting Robert to put the mask on, and secondly...Um...Er...Well...
So I can rule the world, damnit! Why else would anyone want power?
"To rule the world...Kind of obvious, isn't it?" Majora grumbled, that probably didn't seem like an adequate answer, but it wasn't like he had to give an adequate answer. He was almost as old as the world, and she was just a kid. He was only here for giggles. "Any more questions? Come on now, kids! Don't be shy!"
"...Consume, everything..."

Jesse recomposed herself. With a sweet smile, she asked the mask "Will you please let Robert be? It really doesn't require a man-puppet to take over the world!" She was still smiling, bringing her hands out in front of her, ignoring the fact that underneath the bandages and the thin now-off-white gloves, the strange Triforce insignia was shining even more brightly. "I mean, think of how many times evil people have failed trying to take over someone's body! Why can't you explore other options?" She giggled like a little girl. "C'mon, Mister Fairy slash evil spirit!" She pretended to stretch and yawn.

"I will consume."
Majora began levitating. Not in a menacing way, though. He simply leaned back and put his arms behind his head, bobbing up and down. Hm. I'm getting all nostalgic. Maybe I should find a couple of fairies and have them float on either side of me.
"Listen, what's your face, you guys just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...Sort of. Doesn't matter. It's either you guys who're upset or someone else. Either way, the kid in the green tunic is going to be a pain in my arse. So I figure, I should choose someone he wouldn't willingly hurt."
He looked at Link for a moment.
"At least, I think he wouldn't hurt me. It's a small village, you should know everybody. Especially this guy. Besides, I-"
Majora's head suddenly craned back around to Jesse, who's hand was glowing quite brightly. That was a Triforce. A Triforce! Right here! Oh, happy day! He could start now!
"Hey, missy. Stand still for a minute. This won't hurt too badly and it'll only take a second!"
A couple of long, purple tendrils jutted out from the mask and waved around menacingly. They were about five feet long, probably. Majora didn't have the time to tell or care.
"Come on now, I need that thing on your wrist!"
"...Consume, everything..."
