[o1] ✦ Laughing off everything ✧

[lordoffabulous]

Characters: Ghirahim (lordoffabulous) and his roomies at room 1-02, or whoever else!
Setting: 1: Room 1-02, 2 wandering the halls and floors; exploring! Also, this is post the present event, just to give a little timeline.
Format: Baby I can go any way you can go, but action spam is generally faster~
Summary: Ghirahim wakes up in the Tower. He is not a happy Demon Lord, not at all. He then proceeds to go exploring, hoping to learn a bit more about his surroundings.
Warnings: ... Ghirahim. Sparkles. Glam. Fabulous. In all seriousness, MAJOR spoilers probably IN THE FIRST THREAD for Skyward Sword!

[1 - Room 1-02]

[ The sleep paralysis hadn't frightened him. Truthfully, NOTHING frightened Ghirahim; he was rather a bit of a madman in his own right, and to be frightened by something that he had been attempting to achieve in the first place, albeit in a sort of different way, would make his position to his Master rather... unnecessary.

Speaking of his Master? He was furious. How dare that Sky Child stand in his way, time and time again? He SHOULD have killed him. ... But truthfully, he had failed on that front, as a servant and as his Master's second in command. Because... he didn't kill Link yet.

Frustrating. Aggravating. So many other words. But he'd deal, for now.

So when he awoke, the first thing he did was read the letter, crumple it up, and laugh. If his roommates were awake or there to see it, they would notice Ghirahim begin digging through his trunk, continuing to laugh quietly. He wasn't bothered by the suit, to be honest.

He's definitely one of the stranger looking types with that haircut, one pointed ear and the one round one... but if you thought that was odd, you haven't seen much yet. Anyone with any sort of extra senses will be able to feel he isn't human in the least; far, far from it. But one can't QUITE pin what they might feel, it's between something... demonic, but not quite. ]

[2 - Exploring and teleporting about the Tower ]

[ After he'd had some time to clean up, it was time to figure this place out. (Read: put on his make up, change his clothes--though he didn't find the suit terribly irritating, he DID like his usual one more--and then proceed to, of course, brush his hair. Lipstick, eyeliner, the whole nine yards.) Somehow, he felt tired, but that was fine. It was a new day. He would ascertain his surroundings before making any decisions on how to punish whoever was foolish enough to 'save' him.

Wherever this was, he set off from the dorms, quietly exploring the other floors. By foot?

Oh, of course not! Not if he could help it, anyway. Once he's gotten his bearings, you may be surprised to find a man teleporting (looking just like this, clothes to how he appears in front of you with magic) in front of you in the rooms where teleportation inside them, but not outside, is possible.

In fact, he seems to be looking to have a bit of a... conversation. ]

You, there. Indulge me for a moment, won't you? These collars. HOW do you get them off? I realize they went to the trouble of matching my outfit, which I can certainly appreciate, but it's... constricting.

[ ooc: please specify a floor and 1 or 2 in the title! ♥ Also, again, please tell me if spoilers bother you and I will try to keep away from them! ]

SECRET OPTION NUMBER 3 in the ~Meadow Floor~

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[It was kind of funny. Link had went through hell and back to protect Zelda. He saw things, fought things, felt things that no ordinary person could. He had to deal with being able to see Zelda. To see her smile but not be able to follow her. He couldn't save her in time, someone else had to clean up the mess he made. And when he finally got to talk to her face-to-face, she pushed him away. She pushed him away and encased herself in crystal, never to be woken again. He had to go through so much physical and emotional pain. He finally had saved her in the end. After so many failures, so many times of her being taken away from him, he saved her. He could look forward to spending the rest of his life with her. He didn't have to worry anymore. And now...


She had been taken from him again.

Except this time, there was no puzzle to solve, no dungeon to go through, no soul shattering trial to endure, no boss to fight. He had no idea where he was. He was only equipped with a few items. His only weapon was his bow. And no, he couldn't just dig his way through and find his weapons lying around in chests. He didn't have his sword. He didn't have his faithful guide to tell him what his next objective was. He was completely alone.

It was all kind of funny, except he was the only one laughing.]


[So, with the few items he could carry and a deep wound cut into his spirit yet again, he decided to put on his best game face and take a look around. And after a while, he found himself in a peaceful meadow. He sat down in the middle and closed his eyes, wondering about how everyone was. How Zelda was without him yet again.

Her song quietly drifting in his mind. It was a little strange. For once, he found himself singing along.]

Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess....

[1/2] you entered the secret code: your reward? CREEPING

[lordoffabulous]

[ This infernal Tower had no easy escape.

He was becoming a bit... agitated, to be frank, when he couldn't simply teleport out. It was as though something was blocking his powers. He had to find a way back, surely... surely there was SOME way he could succeed in reviving his Master?

But... for now, he supposed he'd have to figure out this place. When he teleports into the nearest area, who should he find...

... But the person he hates more than anything in the world? ]

[2/2]

[lordoffabulous]

[ ... Most convenient.

He is without his precious little sword. He is mostly weak, and unarmed, and it would be SO EASY just to walk up behind the cute little sky child and just... run him through.

So, so easy.

Too easy. That's no fun, and he's angry, but not enough to make it NO FUN. So silently, he approaches Link from behind by teleporting directly behind him. The only indication of his presence is the split second shadow that appears once he taps him on the shoulder, and whispers. ]

... My, I think you and I need to have a nice, long, heart to heart...

[ And he grins. Waiting. ]

[1/3 maybe]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

unite earth and sky, and bring light to--

[2/3 maybe 4]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Woah hey Ghirahim]

[ok i decided on 4]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Wait]

[4/4]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He gets up and turns around, whipping out his bow and arrow and glaring at Ghirahim, growling a little. He was positively pissed.]

2 - Floor 4

[attheclocktower]

[... eep. Now is definitely a "keeping her hood up" moment.]

I-I don't know. I don't think we can.

[She hasn't been able to get hers off (and not for lack of trying either), and by this point it's started to chafe a lot.]

awww Xion it's okay, I promise he won't murder you. Probably.

[lordoffabulous]

[ Oh, he's not going to hurt you Xion! ... Yet, anyway. He does seem a bit frustrated, though, because he did NOT give ANYONE permission for this.

Humans had to be behind it, was all he could figure, which was slightly more infuriating. ]

How irritating. I certainly do not remember the time when humans were allowed to treat ME in such a way... the nerve, putting some sort of collar on me like a dog, sticking me in a room with two humans...

[ BLARGH. He hates you all so much. Disgusting, inferior! He'd apologize, Xion, but he doesn't care. You're getting the short end of his small rant right now. ]

... Of course, the sickening, inferior creatures that they are, I suppose they're not entirely at fault, but I don't like things that chafe. Especially if it leaves a mark on my skin!

Heh. That would be bad. Less than two weeks in and already dead once.

[attheclocktower]

[And Xion just kind of... sits there in surprise and confusion as he rants at her, not sure how to respond at first. She's never been on the receiving (or giving, really) end of a full-blown rant before.

She frowns a little though. Is the collar all he's really worried about, what with being taken from his home and stuck here? Except she's not sure how to ask that. There is one thing she can ask, though.]

What's wrong with humans...?

[Never mind that she would question her status as one, being a Replica among Nobodies.]

[myblueskies]

[Romeo got out of bed quickly, making his bed quietly, he heard the laughter and looked across to the bed that used to be mister Romano's before the bad people had taken him. Now there was a... well he looked like he was out of a story.

Romeo went over to the trunk and grinned at him.] Hello sir! Are you a goblin?

[lordoffabulous]

[ Oh a tiny human. You've GOT to be kidding him, please. Ghirahim just... raises an eyebrow.

Why is he rooming with humans. This is not okay. At present, he is digging through the trunk and is decidedly glad whoever was stupid enough to take him had the decency to put in what was important.

That all done, he gets up and, of course, with a snap of his fingers and some odd, yellow and white and black diamond shaped magic, is now clothed properly, in his usual attire. Wonderful. Also, a hair brush is now in his hand. ]

Not at all. I'm a demon, of course--and this lighting won't do at all.

[ He shall very much need to turn on the lights, so he does that with magic, as well. Not hard. Much better. ]

[myblueskies]

[Romeo watched with wide eyes as the man changed clothes with magic, and the lights came on. He was not unused to magic of course, but it still amazed him. He pulled a face though] You don't look like a demon though, demons have horns and live in hell, are you sure you're not a goblin?

2 : floor ten, the aquarium floor

[childhero]

[Today, Link's mission is to investigate the floor with no glass to keep the water from flooding everything. He's been exploring the water with the help of Mikau's mask, but he hasn't found anything aside from all manner of fish that he hasn't seen before. He's standing outside of the water, watching the fish cross from water to water through the air, when someone just appears in front of him in a flash of diamonds and starts asking questions.

. . . ........................................

Blink.]

Uh... You can't...

oh god Link don't take off the mask :s

[lordoffabulous]

[ ... Hmmm, this creature seems vaguely familiar. Well, whatever. Link might notice, though, Ghirahim has rather similar pointy ears to most people you might know.

... But you may also notice there's a kind of BAD feeling about this guy. ]

Then I believe I'm going to have to have a word with whomever thought they could do this to me of all people! Do you realize how chaffing this is? While I can always appreciate a good accessory, this is completely the WRONG way to go about it.

[ HUFF HUFF WHY DO THEY RUIN HIS OUTFIT!! ]

Secret Option #3 Part Two: Electric Boogaloo : Art... gallery? idk man

[sageprincess]

[So there's this chick--

So searching the library is fruitless, she's found. Whatever their keepers want to hide from them, they've hidden it well. And to be honest, Zelda is... a bit at a loss for what to do next. She isn't a fighter, at least not in the same many of the other people here seem to be, and she doubts her magic would be strong enough to dispel the barriers keeping them here.

Somehow she's found herself slowly wandering the gallery floor, caught up more so within her own mind than by any of the paintings. Surely there must be something she can do...]

SO TO ANYONE READING THIS: MAJOR SPOILERS UP IN THIS THREAD, TOO.

[lordoffabulous]

[ Ghirahim happens to reappear here next, surprised and drawn inexplicably to a VERY familiar aura, a feeling that only Hylia's reincarnation could give off.

And he scoffs when he sees Zelda, because it is not the Zelda he knows. Which truly doesn't surprise him, honestly... if others were taken from differing worlds, who's to say she isn't from far later than he knows?

That aside, the power in THIS reincarnation was far weaker. Her soul didn't emit the same sort of Goddess-like feeling, possibly due to bloodline dilution over time.

Nevertheless... oh, if she'd only died like a good girl in the beginning for his Master, things would have been far easier. He's not pleased, not at all.

Thus, his next move is to reappears directly behind her, silently, and whisper in her ear, smirking. His hands reach out to her shoulders, and the moment he touches her is when he speaks. ]

Lost, are we, your majesty?

[ You will notice, Zelda, that this... man--no, he is not a man. Every fiber of the Triforce within you is screaming this man is as powerful as, if not directly connected to, Ganondorf himself. In fact... he doesn't even FEEL Hylian or human or anything CLOSE.

Demonic. But not just demonic; oh, no. This guy? Is bad news. ]

2...art gallery? Yeah, let's go with that

[evokingfool]

[Minato pause and looks over at the strange man.]

These collars? As far as I know, we don't know how to take them off.

He would teleport into the room with gruesome murder pictures --

[lordoffabulous]

[ He looks positively miffed at that. ]

And just why not? As I've said, I do appreciate the color coordination, but this is NOT what I had in mind! They wouldn't know a proper placement of an accessory if it hit them in the face, would they?

[ He pauses, then, gasps, throwing his arms up at a sudden revelation. ]

... Suddenly, I understand EVERYTHING. Humans are behind this, aren't they? Of course...!

2 - 1st Floor

[princeofjunes]

[You'll have to excuse Yosuke for a moment. You see, his plans were revolving around enjoying the ham sandwich in his hands as much as possible. At no point did he expect that can only be generously described as a flamboyantly dressed man to appear in front of him and start demanding answers about accessorizing. So really, it's understandable that he freezes mid-bite, sandwich falling from his hands]

[It takes him a few seconds to swallow the bite - a few more to feel like he can properly express his thoughts, but really, his thoughts are quite simple. They boil down to one word]

... really?

LAUGHING MY ASS OFF, JSYK

[lordoffabulous]

[ AHEM, YOSUKE????

GOSH RUDE WOW DON'T YOU KNOW MANNERS? ]

I asked you a question, human. Really, don't they teach anyone manners anymore? And I thought the sky child needed help... are you too simplistic to understand basic speech? Is your brain incapable of handling it?

2 -- somewhere by a terminal!!

[guiltapalooza]

[Willow had been idly browsing through the network posts, trying to come up with something to say, herself-- really, she was getting kind of bored lately. She couldn't work on her ring for Eridan all the time, especially since she was so bad at it. And she still needed to find a gem to put in it, too. Maybe she could change the color of a piece of rose quartz that she already had to be a deeper red...

Distracted with thoughts like this, she lets out an eep and jerks in place when Ghirahim teleports in. And then she... proceeds to stare at him and what he says.]

Um. I don't think we can get them off, and I'm a little scared to try with magic. I'm guessing that you're... new?

[And very fabulous, apparently.]

[lordoffabulous]

[ He sighs dramatically. ]

I've tried that, repeatedly. They've done something to it... unthinkable, someone cancelling my magic. I'm going to see to it that the people responsible for this travesty are swiftly killed.


[ His life is SO HARD... anyway. ]

Something like that. I seem to keep running into you humans left and right... it is VERY hard to find good help these days, but I'm hardly surprised. I hope you happen to at least be semi-competent, because my patience is rather thin at this point. Especially when I cannot get out of this place.

[ It's VERY irritating. ]

2-- Library on Floor 19, there is no such thing as late

[metawoof]

"--Aah!!"

The sudden appearance of the teleporting man frightened Echidna, leading her to practically flip the textbook that was open in front of her on the table as she nearly fell back in her chair. By the magic of balance she didn't.

"Uhm...I...do not, think you can take them off. Uh, I mean I am sure you can somehow but I always figured if you did they would kill you. Or maybe that they were slowly poisoning us anyway or something."

Blink blink.

[lordoffabulous]

[ Oh god, is he amused. ]

Well, then, in that case, I've nothing to worry about! But as you can see...

[ He snaps his fingers, and the same magic he teleported in with surrounds his collar, but it does not leave. ]

... This is a rather peculiar predicament, dear child. Though if you DO drop dead, I suppose I know why they decided to put such horribly gaudy necklaces on us in the first place. Not a very well thought out means of killing someone, poison. It's so much easier to be direct, don't you think? Why bother with a poison when a sword can do the job in twice the time...?
