[o2] ✦ CORPSE PARTY (mingle log) ✧

Characters: Ghirahim ([personal profile] lordoffabulous), Skyward Sword!Link's body ([personal profile] theherourherocouldbelike), and YOU poor people.
Setting: The dormitories (Zelda's room), and floors 25 (meadow), 11 (open air floor; daytime), 4 (glass walls floor), and 1 (cafeteria) during the daytime, backdated to Feb. 7th, after this thread (which has Skyward Sword Spoilers!)
Format: Whatever anyone wants!
Summary: Ghirahim has finally killed Link, and he's making a show of it by leaving his arms and legs around, as well as making a general announcement. Unfortunately, no one will be talking to him directly unless they catch his attention...
Warnings: HORRIBLE gore warnings including dismemberment, blood, and violence. Oh, and Ghirahim is kind of a warning in and of himself. Also there is, as always, the potential for spoilers for the endgame of Skyward Sword.

[ Hello, Tower-goers!

You may have been going about your business as per usual... except for until you heard, or saw, some random person scream.

On four different floors, there is a body part; two legs, two arms, fingers, and so on. Throughout the fourth floor and staircase leading up to the fifth and sixth, however? It's worse. Oh, so much worse. There is a long trail of blood that suddenly just... disappears. The blood trail begins again on the stairs, and those that seek it will find that the blood has made a progression to several different floors.

The remainder of a green tunic can be found, soaked in blood, on the staircase.

Or, perhaps you were eating your lunch when all of a sudden, a leg appeared in the middle of the air along with... quite a bit of human, bright red blood.

And Ghirahim's momento? Why, Link's hand, of course! There is even, in fact, now a hand in the freezer.

It was essentially impossible to miss the horrific 'gifts' left about, to be frank. One would think the Tower's administrators may have been responsible, but they are not. If that wasn't bad enough, though, Ghirahim's voice echos on several floors, though the broadcast of sorts, created via the same magic he is so well known for, can be seen live should someone be on the 11th floor when Ghirahim snaps his fingers and begins speaking.

Every floor possible to be accessed in the Tower will find a singular yellow diamond broadcasting his voice from inside it: ]


To all of you also here, I must say... I find this Tower decidedly lacking in any sort of decent decoration. The walls are just drab! I've taken the liberty of sprucing up the design a bit; red can do SO much for a place, don't you think...?

But paint alone is quite boring~! Why use paint when that of the fated Knight of Hylia's would do the job just as well? I do hope you enjoy my gift, though--you have Link himself to thank for this one, the little scamp, as he has defied me far too much.

Oh, and I do recommend that someone find me a proper paintbrush. It might be fun if we painted the whole place~!

[ With that, Ghirahim will be disappearing from the 11th floor and his voice from everywhere else, along with the diamonds. Feel free to react, overreact, or scream in horror at the soaked with blood limbs, still freshly warm, and the blood on the walls, just now drying. ]

[ (This next part can safely be ignored by anyone who isn't Zelda's roomie or her, herself, by the way.)

The Princess of Hyrule would find a SPECIAL present on her bed in her room in the dormitory floor. The torso was left in Zelda's room on her bed, bleeding and quite dead, head left attached. From his chest it is obvious that his death was caused by punctured lungs and that Ghirahim had taken the time to carve a neat little diamond into Link's flesh around his vital parts, taking careful, almost surgical precision not to kill him when he did it.

In the middle of that, Zelda will find a lovely, handwritten note on a piece of paper in wavey cursive Hylian:

"To the Spirit Maiden:
I've taken the liberty of leaving your little knight for you here.
He's been rather brave; I'm sure he deserves a kiss from his love's descendant! ♥

... Consider him my little gift to you for our conversation earlier.
If you don't tell me what I want to know... I will have to win your heart over with many more gifts of this sort, my dear girl. I MUST know, just as I must have you.
Play nice. No one likes a naughty princess.
"

[ ooc; TL;DR: there's a bunch of body parts laying around on the specified floors, a hand in the freezer, oh, and of course, blood on the walls and staircases from the fourth to sixth floor in a sort of trail. This is all Ghirahim's doing.

SO WHAT IS THIS? IT'S A MINGLE POST! A CORPSE PARTY GUYS, no really, go NUTS! Ghirahim will not be responding and neither will SS!Link because he's lolded, unless you really do actually ping the former. Threadhop, horrify your characters, HAVE FUN. It's time to put the "horror" in our "horror game". : D ]

[Aradia looks up at the sound of Willow's voice, in no rush to drop the hand]

I have no idea. I just saw the blood and followed it here...you know, this wasn't what I would have expected the inside of a hand to look like.

[Give her a moment, still finding this fascinating]

He who?
guiltapalooza: (☆ sun going down)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-21 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's standing well back from the hand, not just grossed out but disturbed, slightly nauseous to think that it was Link's-- any Link's.]

Someone I met earlier. He had a cape and a lot of purple and was not human, or troll. He was talking about killing Link, and other people, too, but I... I didn't think he'd do something this fast.

Can we please be fascinated later? [she begs.] I don't want to know what the inside of a hand looks like.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-21 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? How long ago was that?

[At Willow's latter comment she drops the hand, looking suitably chastised]

Sorry. You're right. We should figure out what happened, and if anyone's still in danger of being killed.
guiltapalooza: (☆ unwanted)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-21 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Not too long. Maybe a week?

[She's hugely relieved that the hand is put down now.] Yeah, I... do you think there's any clues we need to look for here, or can we-- on the stairs, with the talking? [Willow can hold herself together if she has to, but she can't pretend it's pleasant.]

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-21 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
A week? I'd say that's plenty of time for someone to follow up on threatening to kill someone.

[She scans the room at Willow's question, shrugging lightly]

I'm not sure. Terezi would know what to do better than I do. But I guess we should probably leave it for someone who knows what they're doing?
guiltapalooza: (☆ what must be said)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-21 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm used to my enemies having plans, and... goals. Things that they want to do that aren't just-- mayhem.

But maybe he does. [Her brow furrows, distracted from being disgusted by the practical thought of demon fighting.] He seems really fixated on Link, even aside from the gruesome murder. --Yeah, let's... get out of here.

[Walking to the stairs, then? Though Willow never expects someone else to come along who knows what they're doing better than she does. Not that she knows what she's doing; it's just that backup doesn't exist, for her. She is the backup.

So she can't help but feel like she needs to deal with this herself, no hesitation, especially after what she'd said to Ghirahim.]

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-21 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that explains it. If they're from the same world, he's probably been planning something like this for much longer.

[She follows Willow, though still glancing back into the room now and again because heck if she's not curious about this whole thing]
guiltapalooza: (☆ investigative)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-22 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'd think he'd be put off by getting here, but...

[Once they're at the landing for the stairs, she slumps against the wall just inside the door, and tries to gather herself. She focuses on Aradia.] He sounded like serious business. He called me soft in the head for telling him I wouldn't let him get away with murdering people, like he thought it was funny for someone to think they could stop him.

I don't know if that means he's just full of himself, or if I should really be worried. I'm... leaning toward worried, to tell the truth.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-22 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aradia can't help the soft smile that crosses her lips]

I think you underestimate how attached people can get to their schemes. Which makes sense. I mean, you always try to see the best and that's a good thing. But...yeah. I know a few people who wouldn't let being in a new place stop them if they were that determined to get rid of someone.
guiltapalooza: (☆ school has changed)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-24 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[That makes her a little flustered, because truthfully Willow has been feeling more like her old self lately, and trying to see the best in everyone is definitely an old self thing.]

I... guess he's one of those people. Um. [Hesitantly,] What do you think we should do about it? I don't want to get into a fight with anyone; if you think I underestimate scheming, you've never seen me fight. It's either me losing horribly or me... winning, and the winning tends to go worse for me.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-24 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks confused at that]

But...I have seen you fight. When the tower turned into that one room, remember? And, maybe I was too distracted to notice properly but you seemed to be doing okay to me.
guiltapalooza: (☆ downcast)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Using that much magic affects me. I can usually handle it when it's against something mindless like that, but...

[She takes a breath.] It's... different when it's a real opponent. Someone I can get angry at. I'll fight him if I have to, but I wish there was another solution.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-24 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[She's quiet a moment]

I'm not sure we should be fighting him anyway. It might just make him worse.
guiltapalooza: (☆ finding out)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-02-25 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if we could make him worse. Did you see that in there? He's bad enough already that it'd just be-- new varying shades of bad.

We can't just let him run around doing this stuff, and if we aren't going to fight him, what are we going to do? I... I guess I could do a spell, but...

[When she's not in the heat of actually doing magic, Willow remains as nervous and unsure of herself about it as ever.]

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-02-26 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I just think charging after him without a plan isn't going to help. Trust me, I know how it feels to just want to make someone pay but that's when things go bad.

Do you think the people in charge of the tower would do anything, if we could reach them?
guiltapalooza: (☆ tara → at the funeral)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-03-03 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Things go very bad with the making someone pay, [she agrees wholeheartedly, looking relieved that Aradia has pinpointed her exact issue with the situation.] I'm all for having a plan.

... That's a good question. They're supposed to want us to stay safe; they went through all the effort to bring us here, for whatever reason. And they are capable of things we aren't. I think it's worth looking into.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-03-03 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

Then maybe we leave it to them...maybe if we put something on the network the might listen?
guiltapalooza: (☆ make amends)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-03-04 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be nice if they did, but... if they don't, are we supposed to just let it go?

What's to say he won't do it again?

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-03-04 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing, strictly speaking. But, I can't speak for you, but I don't even know who we're dealing with here. I'd rather find out more before I start thinking about how to stop him.
guiltapalooza: (☆ rootsy time)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-03-05 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Okay. Finding out more first is general procedure and a good idea.

[She lets out a breath.] Good thing I ran into you. You're good at this calm and capable thing, you know that?

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-03-05 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins a little at that]

I don't know about capable. I just learned a long time ago that getting worked up over things normally doesn't help.
guiltapalooza: (☆ whiteboard fun)

[personal profile] guiltapalooza 2012-03-05 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It might not help, but it is both satisfying and unstoppable for some of us, so accept the compliment.

[personal profile] verymuchalive 2012-03-05 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well okay. If you insist on putting it that way, thank you.
