Characters: Ghirahim and her unfortunate victims you
Setting: centered on the dormitory levels for now.
Format: Action, will match!
Summary: Finding herself in a bizarre new world sans one very elusive sky-girl, Ghirahim is looking to blow off some steam. On anyone and anything she can find! But mostly Link.
Warnings: Psychotic, murdering demonic sword with a blood fetish on the loose in the tower? What could go wrong? (in other words, violence against unsuspecting uruk-hai and creeping on characters.)


*After an astounding level of noise from out in the hallway of the first dormitory floor, assorted shrieks, inhuman screams, and sounds of metal clashing on metal, silence. If the other residents of the tower are brave enough to investigate what the monsters have done to their dear friends this time, they will be glad to know that a five-man scouting party of Uruk-Hai lies bloodied in the hallway, glistening dark knives sticking out of their corpses, mangled from the wounds of various cuts inflicted by a sword.

And that's where the bad news kicks in. That sword is held in the hand of someone they may or may not know in the Tower, a certain Demon Lord. Or maybe they don't. Either way, as soon as the instigator of this small massacre laughs, it's obvious that the Uruk-Hai have fallen to one very demented-sounding woman. She raises the blade in her hand to her lips and snakes out a tongue far too long for a human's, lapping at their blood and her own lips.*

Well. That was fun. Such a shame, they would have made a fine escort for me. But such is the nature of my temper. *she sighs dramatically and dismisses the sword in her hand in a cloud of glistening geometric diamond forms.* Still...losing the girl...when I was so close... *she glares down at the Uruk-Hai, her voice trembling in barely concealed rage.* So very close...

*She grabs one of the mangled Uruk-Hai with incredible strength and swings the corpse into the wall repeatedly. After the fifth thud against the wall, she simply lets it drop again and stands back.*

Ah. Much better. *what a creepy transition into Stepford-like congeniality.* So much better to wear a smile than a frown!

[Really, he was just starting to leave the commons area, when he heard a bunch of screaming coming from downstairs.

Of course he's going to check it out. Which is what he does, rushing down the stairs and heading toward where the noises were coming from. He's about to draw his sword and he walks in on the really tall, weird-looking lady slamming one of those dead monsters into the wall.

Uh.

...Looks like she has this...covered???

But yeah, he looks so bewildered right now.]

[outforheroblood]

*She stiffens at the feel of someone's gaze. What now? More creatures she might be able to strongarm into serving her, eventually? She turns and the smile almost immediately drops off her face.

Just. Gone.

She gives Link the flattest, most hateful stare she can muster.*

Oh. It's you.

[cant_be_tamed]

[Wow, rude.

...He looks behind him to make sure she's not talking to someone else, then looks at her again and is still pretty confused because wow, does he know her?]

I have not drawn a proper icon yet sadly

[outforheroblood]

Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused me? *she slowly approaches, circling him with slow, deliberate movements.* You are the worst sort of fly in my ointment...and so rude! I can't believe you would hit a lady in such a way! Your manners are simply atrocious...I can't imagine what that girl sees in you.

aww :(

[cant_be_tamed]

[Alright, he's gotta say something because this was getting a bit ridiculous.]

Who're you? [...Oh.

That...doesn't sound like the Sky Child at all!]

[outforheroblood]

*......What.*

...Did you. Simply forget everything.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf happens to pass by when Ghirahim swings one of the Uruk-Hai corpses into the wall repeatedly. He shakes his head. Ghirahim, you have the weirdest ways to kill time. He really should teach his servant to play some musical instruments someday. Oh well, it's not like Ganondorf is shocked to see that. He's seen and done worse in the past.

He approaches Ghirahim at this moment. ]

Don't kill too much of them. I have plans for them in the coming weeks.

[ He notices the Demon Lord looks different... But that may be one of the tower's doing. When you have been in this place for nearly three months, you're not surprised any more to see people look different from a day to another. Though he does wonder, what could have made for such a change... ]

[outforheroblood]

*Well, your eyes aren't going bad, Ganon. Her chest may be hidden by her cloak, but she definitely has curves. She's a mite bit shorter, too. Then there's the half-skirt that falls around her right leg. And the long hair braid!

She knew he was there, watching, something about the power of him so familiar, but she'd been unable to place it. When she turns to look at him, the resemblance is what anchors it for her.

Ghirahim gives him a genuinely stunned look.*

...Mistress Demise...?

[great_king_of_evil]

[ ... He, she doesn't recognize him. He'd seen Ghirahim not so long ago and those of the tower wouldn't have erased his memory. It can only mean... That's a second Ghirahim. Another one. Finally. For once a duplicate that was neither a Link or a Zelda from another time. Better even, it was another version of his most devoted servant in the tower. If this one was as loyal as the other Ghirahim...

Now her appearance made sense... A female version of Ghirahim? He'll have to ask latter-

Wait what. Mistress Demise? Mistress? ... Ghirahim had never mentioned that detail. The shock. Hiding it as well as he can. ]

I am Demise and at the same time I am not.

[ Ganon smiles ever so slightly. He's more thankful than ever for all the information the other Ghirahim gave him. Makes 'recruiting' his previous incarnation's servants much easier. ]

I go by the name Ganondorf now. Demise reincarnated.

[outforheroblood]

*Demise. The most powerful, beautiful goddess in existence, the destroyer of all...

In the same predicament as Hylia.

Not to mention reincarnated as a man. This, she doesn't mind. Unexpected, definitely, and it was so strange to see the heavier masculine features on a mortal that so closely resembled her beloved Mistress.

But it's still Demise.

Ghirahim curtseys formally, the same grand, dramatic movement that Ganondorf would expect from Ghirahim.*

Even though you inhabit the body of a mortal, I remain your right hand. I did not expect you to be already raised in this time...

*she tenses at the churning of anger that resurfaces.* I had the sky-girl with Hylia's soul when I entered the Time Gate. I had her. I don't know how or why she escaped from my grasp! Say the word, and I will hunt her down and rip out her soul myself!

[great_king_of_evil]

I can change into a demonic form whenever it pleases me. Much like how you can change between your Sword Spirit form and your humanoid form.

[ If she was anything like the other Ghirahim that is. It wasn't so different when you thought about it. The human and demonic form were much like Ghirahim humanoid and sword form. One was less powerful but more convenient for everyday's life. ]

Calm down Ghirahim. The girl is here, or rather two of them. They both are her reincarnation. You are new here, aren't you? There is a lot I need to explain you.

[ He smiles. Much better start than he had with the other Ghirahim. Last time he was the newcomer and Ghirahim had to explain him everything. This time around he's the one who know everything. Just perfect.

He yet had to explain her about the future, past and alternate universe mess. ]

[outforheroblood]

*New here? What does that mean? New to the past?* I assure you, I'm listening with rapt attention. What is this place? This is not what I expected of the past...

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

[There is something strange about this Ghirahim. Fi watches from a spot in the shadows, as this one takes down the Uruk-Hai. Oh yes, there were similarities, without a doubt but...

There had to be something wrong with Fi because this was not the Ghirahim she had spoken with after the Labyrinth.]

Ghirahim.

hiiiiiiiiii siiiiiiiiiiissssss

[outforheroblood]

*She turns at the familiar, bland voice, and smiles, licking her lips again before walking closer, her eyes gleaming with excitement.*

Well, if it isn't my dear sweet sister. You're off your leash, aren't you? Where's your beloved master?

HI~

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

[Fi simply remains floating where she was, lacking any fear or concern.]

I am not sure we could be considered siblings and I have never been on a leash. Master Link is elsewhere in the tower, I am not required to remain with him.

[outforheroblood]

Oh, don't be silly. You and I were made from the same mold, so to speak? *she giggles at her own little joke.* It's too bad that your creator never encouraged your creative pursuits, like Mistress Demise.

*she leans against the wall, smirking at Fi with all the collective grace and intent as a coiled cobra.* Really? So you're not bound to the form of a weapon anymore? Was it the influence of the Gate?

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

That is an undeniable fact, we were created similarly. Her Grace created me for but a single purpose however and to deviate from it would have placed the Surface and Skyloft at risk.

[And Fi watches her carefully. Not her Ghirahim means that she's more of an enigma than usual.]

There are multiple Master Swords present with the Tower, with Masters to match. As such, I'm not completely bound to them as I was before.

[outforheroblood]

Tower?

*a long pause.*

...Do go on.

[lordoffabulous]

[ It does not take him long to be drawn to such a place. Though unlike his counterpart, he is not currently in his suit or wearing his cape (no, that was for fighting or formalities), but rather a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of black pants.

... Though he is still wearing his gloves and jewelry, of course. He'd gotten better since the last... events, of a sort, and there was no moments for questioning or the like. He can sense someone... else, and at first, his mind thinks of Fi, so when he leaves, he expects Hylia's sword spirit to antagonize.

It's in a flash of diamonds -- his powers are still MOSTLY under his control, thankfully -- that he finds himself at the site of something... beautiful.

Carnage.

... It was not what he expected in the least, but not at all an unpleasant surprise. ]

Unfortunate it is that there isn't enough red in the world to decorate this ho-hum Tower.

[ He tilts his head ever so slightly, however. ]

Well, I must say I never did expect the stories I'd heard of alternate realities before my very eyes to come to fruition, but here we are. How very interesting.

... The girl, by the way, is not here. Anymore, that is.

YEEEEEEEEAH~ also assuming this is after everyone else? [1/?]

[outforheroblood]

*After her humiliation at the hands of the sky-boy's double, the frustration had soared again. Raw anger had given way to murderous rage, and while tormenting her "sister" had eased it somewhat, violence was the only true outlet for her. The hall behind her is littered with everything from fairy bulls to uruk-hai. Her two rapiers are dripping with mingled blood, as is she.

The voice prompts her to turn to face him. After staring in genuine surprise for a moment, she grins. Here he is then, her twin soul.

[2/?] psp y u no let me type moar

[outforheroblood]

And he was every bit as interesting as Fi had led her to imagine. She looks him over in curiosity, lean muscle in place of her light curves, a bit taller, the light knot of tissue in his throat breaking the monotony of smooth flesh. She couldn't help but wonder how their true forms differed, and the swords that they were at their core...

She dismissed her rapiers and stepped closer.*

If I had known I would have such a handsome caller, I would have freshened up first.

DONE

[outforheroblood]

How embarrassing to be seen in such a state.

*her tone isn't the one they use in their gentility game. It's more a parody, a private joke between the players.*

I heard about another me in this place. You're exactly what I imagined.

[lordoffabulous]

There's really no need to do so when the lady in question is so beautiful, my dear.

[ He's entirely amused forever. This is kind of the best thing he's ever seen.

Link is going to hate his life.

She wasn't all that different from him, he could see: a bit leaner, curvier, perhaps. Probably faster, too, he thinks. The voice is also a little different, of course; his is deeper. ]

It's a pleasant surprise for the both of us. Though if I am right about when you are from, we have some talking to do regarding a certain... boy.

[ Care to walk with him, lovely? ]

[outforheroblood]

*she laughs. This is just too much. Finally, someone who knows her inside and out, and whom she knows just as well. Who better to compliment her than herself?*

Such a charmer. You're not a bad catch yourself...

*She snaps her fingers, her flesh body flickering to solid metal for all of a second before it rearranges itself once more. It's the fastest way to be rid of the gore soaking her clothing and covering her skin. Though not the most creative way she can think of. Especially with another pair of hands. And another tongue.

The image that follows is exciting, to say the least. She goes to him and lays her smaller hand on his arm. Completely ridiculous to anyone but each other. Yes. Yes, she would care to walk with him.*

Yes. Let's. ...Although I should probably ask which boy you mean. I've met another. *she's still giddy from the carnage and from meeting her double. ...A strong double, for that matter. She squeezes his arm, testing the muscle, fascinated at how a being that is essentially herself could still be so different.*

[lordoffabulous]

[ ... Such an exquisite form, really; his eyes watch with rapt attention as she cleans herself, though he, too, can think of far better, much slower ways to rid themselves of such a thing, he really does feel there are, unfortunately, slightly more important matters at hand.

Those matters being explaining to her what he knows. Because why would he keep anything from himself, really? That would be nonsense. He was always a generously honest person, after all!

He is essentially unbothered by the act, and, in fact, completely embraces it. Like any true gentleman, you do not simply shrug off a lady's attempt to be close. No, instead, you offer her said arm as you walk. ]

The Sky Child, of course--though unfortunately, you will find there is a lot from our... as well as my... view point we are unaware of. Or, should be, speaking in terms of time.

There are in actuality quite a few of Hylia's little heroes here... though I must say, I find myself fascinated with the fact this place continues to bring in so very many when it is only just now bringing in the second BEST person needed!
