[Dark World Event] || [The Evil Realm] || [Open] || [2/3]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: Anyone who signed up for the Dark World Plot! Look at tag list for more details.
Setting: The 4th and 5th of March. Located in the Cursed Floors + Ganon's Tower (Floors 6, 7, 8, 12, 62, 65, 68, 70, 73 and 79 + Floor 75).
Format: Most likely action but left at the players's discretion.
Summary: Your character somehow got trapped in the Forest Floor of the Tower-- And it looks nothing like the Forest Floor the characters remember. It's the beginning of the Dark World. Some floors look pretty different from what they did before, some nearly identical. The only way to get out is to go through the dungeons that make up this Dark World.

All characters start out in the Dark Forest, then as they go throughout the forest, they magically walk into one of the three dungeons (the one they have been assigned to). By exploring the dungeons, they will acquire one of the three Pendants that lead to the Core of the Curse, from where the cursed floors can be ended. However, Richtofen is there and happy to make sure that won't be that easy.

Mingle threads are simply for Mingle, whereas the exploration of the dungeons, puzzles, etc happens in the Exploration threads. OOC information here.

Warning: While your character may survive fine and all, the dark world is a dangerous place with lots of monsters and puzzles to solve. Characters may get harmed or killed, but that is left to the players's discretion. Characters going through the water of temple may lose their patience and sanity.


Arrival in the Dark World
Here are simply listed the three different ways your characters may have gotten dragged into the Dark World. Note this can be a combination of many of these ways, feel free to pick how your characters arrived in!

• The character may simply have been present on the floor when Ganondorf cursed it. That's really… Bad luck? If that is how it happened, the character would have been immediately transported into the Dark Forest Floor. If they arrived before the 4th of March, they would have been unable to leave this floor for three days. Which may be pretty unnerving.

• The character may have been caught by a floormaster or wallmaster somewhere throughout the tower, and cast into the Dark World. Floormasters and Wallmasters are gigantic and creepy black, red or purple hands that come out from either the floor or the ceiling and take characters to another part of the tower, point in case the Dark Forest.

• They character may have found one of the black doors of Mordor leading into the cursed floors. Out of luck, a creepy black hand similar to that of wallmaster could have come out of from the door and have dragged them in.

• The last option is the simplest, Ganondorf hided in the shadows and cast a spell on you that teleported you right into the Dark Forest. This option is mostly directed to those who have past history with Ganondorf or who are known to be close of Princess Zelda, Link and Tetra.

The Death Mountain (Floor 68) || Power Dungeon || Mingle

[dark_world]

[ As you roamed in the forest, suddenly you would mysteriously walk right into the mountain floor, at the bottom of it to be precise—In comparison, this floor is even worse than the Forest. The sky is as dark as it was in the forest and dangerous black clouds cover the peak of the mountain. It is fairly hot as well, even though that is nothing unbearable.

It looks as though there are very strings of lava flowing over the mountain, but they is enough space between each of them so that someone cannot walk into them accidentally. Unless they are thrown into them by the powerful winds that circles the mountain.

Or by one of the numerous monsters roaming around the mountain. People with good eyes will be able to see there are many Uruk-Hai and Darknut on the path to the mountaintop, as well as some lesser species of monsters. ]

[justabignobody]

[Riku has fought his fair share of Uruk-Hai and Darknut in his time here already; enough to recognize their shape even from the distance.

His free hand clench into a fist at the sight, the other tightens even more around his Keyblade, until his knuckles are white beneath his gloves. Those aren't opponents he likes facing, ones that have forced him to retreat on occasion. There is no getting around it here though, probably, and those are definitely way too many for him to face alone.

He sighs and forces himself to relax a little as he waits to see who else shows up for this part of the adventure. They'll have to work together to get out alive, he can tell that much already.]

[keybearer]

[Times like these make Riku grateful that he's dressed for warmer weather. His island clothes, while not the best protection from lava, are light enough that he won't become a roast pineapple in this place just by walking around.

Just like in the forest, he's got his Keyblade out and ready to strike at any monsters that cross his path. Despite the unfamiliar terrain, he's willing to put up his best fight.

There has to be a way out of this mess...]

[justabignobody]

[OU!ku for his part, is just as glad about his cloak - it may be not quite as made for the heat, but at least it will hopefully keep him from suffering uncomfortable burns on his arms and hands.

He waves once with his free hand when he spots the other, taking a step towards him.]

I think we should wait to see if anyone else turns up in this direction. I don't think we'll want to face all that alone.

[He jerks his head towards the spot he's just stood on that had allowed a good, and safe, view on what's going on further down the road.]

[keybearer]

Not if we want to make it out in one piece, anyway.

[He follows his double's gaze, bringing his free hand to his forehead and squinting. Yikes...]

I just wonder how many others got dragged here. We can't be the only ones, right?

[puppy_lancer]

[If Lancer was angry before, then he has no words to describe the rage he's feeling now at being transported into yet another unknown place.]

[At least this place has monsters he can tear apart. With that thought in mind, he charges toward them.]

[pinnaculum]

[Lancer isn't charging alone. There's a small, highly mobile form flickering in and out of sight nearby, and Sephiroth--for that's who it is, obviously--reaches out to cast a spell on Lancer and himself.

[[WALL]]

It glows, pale and shimmering. Now they have added resistance to physical and magical attacks. It's helpful, and Sephiroth likes to help. With that in mind, he leaps up, swinging his sword in an arc, severing one of the Uruk-Hai's head from its body.]

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer notices the sudden magic boost, but takes the time to slash through another Uruk-hai before turning to the child.]

...Thanks.

[keybearer]

You're just raring to go, aren't you?

[Riku snorts as he watches Lancer rush into the fray. But who's he to sit on the sidelines? Rather than watch, he slips right after him, hurling his weapon into one of the beasts.]

[puppy_lancer]

[One Uruk-hair takes a blast of fire to the face courtesy of Lancer's runic magic.]

They picked the wrong day to fuck with me.

[lightofhumanity]

[chaos, not one to leave people in rage or pain alone, fought beside Lancer, snapping his fingers and sending beams of energy at them.]

Are you alright?

[puppy_lancer]

Fine. Just fine!

[Even though his rage threatens to swallow him, he can vent it well enough by attacking his enemies.]

[explodewiththerage]

[Suddenly in the group of enemies there is an explosion to the left and the angry bellow of one really pissed off Dragon Slayer.]

How many of you thick bastards do I gotta roast before you get the damn point?!

[Without waiting for an answer he sends one of the bulkier monsters flying into the sky with a blast of concentrated fire to help them along for the ride. He likes to call that the monster firework punch. No really he's serious.]

[puppy_lancer]

How about all of them?

[And another monster is sent flying from one of Lancer's kicks.]

[pinnaculum]

[Sephiroth hops from place to place using the quick teleport jumps that he favors for traveling on his own, especially in treacherous places. He is young and small, but he's too strong to fall victim to the winds.

He has keen eyesight, and the monsters he sees ahead are of interest to him. His sword is unsheathed and bright, the Materia in its blade glowing softly. The mountain might not seem like a place for children, but this one is certainly confident.]

[unkindnessof]

[Of all the possibilities, it had to be a volcano. Of course it did.

The heat settles upon him like a shroud as soon as he arrives from the forest, practically tangible in how it seems to weigh down his every movement. Raven swallows down a curse and focuses on getting past the sluggish, heavy feeling in his limbs, forcing himself to move, to stay active and alert, and more importantly seek out any others who might be in the area, because taking on that number of monsters alone would be foolish.

He stands at the ready with sword in hand, but to any observers, he might not seem in the best of conditions.

It doesn't seem to hamper him much, at least.]

[keybearer]

Need a hand?

[The sluggish movements definitely catch Riku's eye. While he doesn't know Raven, he'd have to be stupid to ignore him at a time like this. The monsters probably outnumber everyone here. Fighting alone really is foolish, and he and his double already decided to stick around to catch any stragglers.

Riku comes equipped with a Key-shaped weapon. It might not look practical, but it's got its perks. If nothing else, at least he's armed.]

[unkindnessof]

[Considering how the kid he mentors uses a sword that's more like a bludgeon than anything, he really doesn't have any grounds to be commenting on impractical looking weapons. Riku at least appears to be somewhat experienced in handling his own, so it isn't quite something that merits mention.]

Tch. [The noise Raven makes upon being addressed is disdainful, sure, but it seems to be directed more at his own limitations than anything. Having found other people, he makes a point of testing out his left arm, willing the robotic limb to respond properly.]

Thanks, but no, just... give me a moment. You don't need to worry about me. Not when there are bigger issues to be dealt with. [His words are accompanied by a glance over at the monsters up the mountain.]

[repeatingsun]

[A leafy...branch?...extends from one of Solas's shoulders, unfurling and expanding to provide shade for the young man who is obviously not doing so well.]

It usually seems like this helps when people are overheating...Are you all right? Is there anything else I can do to help?

[Buyer beware: if you ask her for water, it won't taste anything like water.]

[fish_or_die]

[This is the fifth time in two months that Jungo has found himself in some place he was not trying to get to. First, he woke up in the Tower. There was the monster that dragged him to the art gallery, those two games, and now this. A forest that leads to a volcano.

...He's not entirely sure why it keeps happening, but he'll deal with it in his own way.

Having made his way over to the volcano by himself, he immediately starts fiddling with his cellphone. The heat doesn't seem to bother him at all, even though for once he's taken off his jacket and tied it around his waist. His tuque is haphazardly shoved into one of his pockets...but he's not breaking a sweat. Yet. No, all Jungo is doing is fiddling with his cellphone. The demon summoning should still work just fine...and once he confirms that, he slides his cellphone back into his other pocket.

Now, it's just time to find someone he might be able to pair up with...there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to go, but he's expecting something to come out at some point. He'll just approach the first person he sees...]

[lightofhumanity]

[While the sudden change of scenery was odd, chaos could live with it. Just as long as he stayed alive and made sure others were alright. The monsters were not a problem. Normally, a few snaps of his fingers were enough to take them down before he started climbing back up.

However, as he climbed up, he found a large group waiting for someone..and started rushing towards him.

Quickly, he jumped up and send a large boulder of ice at them.

Feel free to jump in and help.]

Re: The Death Mountain (Floor 68) || Power Dungeon || Mingle

[repeatingsun]

[So, Solas is once again at the mercy of the Tower, is she?

She hates it.

She hates it hates it hates it hates it-

And maybe for the first time in her life, she acts like a proper horrorterror, shifting straight into her more planty form and making with the attack vines. She's angry. She didn't think she could be this angry, but here she is. Angry.

Damn this Tower...!]

[friendlyfiend]

[Finding himself transported once again, A'kin is about to protest; then he notices his surroundings and starts laughing. He knows this searing landscape like the back of his hand, even with the distortions and relative cold- it's his favorite floor to hide away on, the one he'd been snatched away from when this whole ordeal began.

He's not exactly enthused by the addition of howling winds and monster hordes, but this is still the volcano, and he is quite literally in his element here.]

[fish_or_die]

[Jungo is still walking around, taking a look at the base of the volcano when he stumbles across A'kin. So there's a friendly face here, too. That's good. He thinks A'kin is about as good a place to start as any if he's going to try to figure out what's going on.]

Hello again. [Here's a human who isn't too bothered by the heat so far.] When did you get here?

[ainohenshin]

[ Aw hell. This was the worse kind of place to be in. It reminded him of his almost near death experience with Byakko and how he almost fell into the lava. Not to mention the beasts that he had to deal with during his time there.

Maze castle was hell to begin with and now this place was just ten times as bad. He sensed it more than saw it, the things around him. He didn't like it and he didn't want to be involved in it but what choice did he have? Kuwabara was stuck trying to find his way out, whether he could or not. ]

Dammit...this ain't funny.
