[Tower Takeover Plot] || [24th to 25th June] || [Open/Closed]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: A lot - Look at the tags. I'll try to keep the list updated as it goes on.
Setting: The Tower (various floors) / The Pod Area / The Control Room. The Teams attempt to break-in will happen during the night from the 24th to the 25th. The monsters being enraged will last for the the 24th and the 25th, and will end with Ganon's death early on the 25th.
Format: Action most likely
Summary: Ganondorf's plot to take over the tower is finally happening, with various team assigned to various tasks. You can go here for more details or to ask a question. There will be mainly three things going on:

- The Control Room team, led by Ganondorf and attempting to take over the tower. This group's action will be divided in two threads, one before they reach the control room, one after. Membership for this group is CLOSED.
- The Pod Team, trying to break into the Pods, actually only serving as diversion so that the Control Room Team can reach its purpose. Like for the Control Room team, there will be two threads. Membership for this group is OPEN.
- The Monsters going berserk in the tower and attacking everyone on their way, once more to serve as a diversion. No membership required for that.

Basically, we start by tagging the Gathering thread of each team, then after a short while move on to the Pod/Control Room thread. There will also be a thread about the recruitment if you want it played out- Hence there will be a total of six threads in order to keep things organized, but don't hesitate to make your own thread if say, two or more characters have a private discussion at some point during the event or for a monster battle. More details below.

Warnings: Everyone in the Control Room will die, no escaping it. Those in the Pod Team may manage to survive if they're clever about it. Anyone encountering a monster risk to be wounded or killed.


Optional OOC Information
Lots of tl;dr, just to give a few more details in case you need them. Don't feel forced to read unless you need it, it's really lots of bla bla.

Control Room Team
This team is led by Ganondorf with the sole purpose of taking over the tower. First Ganon will wait until all those concerned arrive at the gathering; then details of the plan will be given once more for those who didn't hear everything. Only then will they head to the Control Room, since Ganondorf more or less found out how to reach it. Since this team is full, no more characters can be accepted in. People in this team are:

Ganondorf, MM Link, Fado, Hojo, Reno (OU), Naoya, Xigbar, Richtofen, Gimli, Riku (OU) and Shion. Fi and Xion (OU) may appear in the Gathering Thread but not the Control Room Thread. Indeed, because of how many people are involved (11-13), the events for this group will be divided into two threads: one before they enter the control room, one after.

The Gathering
This thread will take place on the First Floor (Cafeteria) and will be about the team's member arrival. They can speak between them in the meanwhile, whatever to kill time. Once everybody will be there, Ganondorf will explain the plan once more for those who don't know the details. He will make no mention of the diversions (it's to say the Monsters and the Pod Team) as officially he's not behind the Pod Team and most people shouldn't even know this Team exists. Then they will move in toward the control room.

The Control Room
This thread will take place in the Control Room, as the characters step in. This is also where everyone will die (anyone tagging in this thread is sure to die). Probably killed off by Zo? The details for how it'll happen precisely are yet unknown. Considering how long this is all going to be, we won't have to wait until the first's thread end to start this one.


Pod Team
This Team is led by SS Link and has for objective to go and free those prisoner in the Pods not like those in Dax's pod want to be freed anyway. In fact, Ganon secretly set it up to serve as diversion for the Control Room Team to succeed. Nevertheless aside from the Turks, nobody in the group knows that it is only as a diversion. Those involved are:

SS Link, TP Link, ALTTP Link, Enoch, Kafuka, Tara, Suzaku, Beat, Rude and Reno (AU). Unlike the Control Room Team, this one is still open to more people if you want join in the horror fun. And unlike the Control Room Team, those in this team may come out of it alive if they play smart. IF. Much like for the Control Room team, events for this group will be divided in two threads.

The Gathering
Same than for the other team, except it happens on the First Dormitory Floor. SS Link will be the one in charge here. He'll probably also be much more sympathetic than Ganondorf, open to answer questions and less of a douche overall. Well he should be Link.

The Pods' Area
This thread will take place when the characters will get close to the Pod Area. What will happen exactly is not that clear yet, but if they play clever they may come out of it alive.


Inside the Tower
Because one diversion isn't enough, Ganondorf has used his powers to enrage the Tower's monsters and send them to kill everyone. He's sent out a couple monsters of his making as well, and asked Ghirahim to go on a killing spree. Just another day in the tower.

You don't need to tag in the monster thread for that, it's just for convenience. If you want to play with that side-effect of the event, you can chose to make your own thread, or your own log.

Monsters
Same monsters than usual, except this week-end, they are out to kill. More than they usually are. Stronger, more ferocious, faster, etc. There are particularly more Darknut than usual. On the less dangerous side, there are many Poes Ganondorf created causing havoc around, not so much killing people, more like ravaging the tower in any possible ways. They're ghost-like creatures, sensitive to light.

Jalhalla
Jalhalla is a gigantic monster unleashed by Ganon as seen here and here is for an example of how a battle against it works. Fou-Lu Is set to kill it before the end of the event, but that doesn't mean it cannot harm people or wreak havoc before that.

Ghirahim
At least one of the two Ghirahim will be out, hunting to kill anyone they can on Ganondorf's order. The sad part is that unlike regular monsters, Ghirahim is very smart and won't go down that easily.

Recruitment
Because time lacked, there was no recruitment post for the teams. Nevertheless, if you'd rather not have the recruitment and revelations handwaved, you can tag into this thread to have the recruitment happen.

Control Room Team: Gathering (Tower Floor 1, Elevator)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is for everything happening before the Control Room Team enter the Control Room. This is the place where all those involved have been told to gather on the night from the 25th to the 26th.))

[crouching_sin]

[Well. This is exciting, now isn't it? He had thought that he would have to spend more time here to get an opportunity to do this, but he wasn't one to just sit back and let a chance like this pass him by.]

This should be fun.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf was quite obviously one of the first, if not the first to be near the elevator located in the Cafeteria, waiting for the others to come by. He was looking at a wall and turned slowly when he heard Naoya coming by. ]

...

[ He smiled but didn't reply, not yet. Yeah, this would be fun if anything... But more were to come yet and he wasn't going to explain his plan to each of them individually. One time would be enough. ]

[childhero]

[Link is next to arrive. He doesn't look... different at all. He's finally recovered all of his items from across the Tower, so he's fully suited up again and the serious expression on his face is his standard hero one -- that is to say, more grave than usual, but it's not like that's saying much.

He nods in greeting to both Ganondorf and Naoya, though he's unfamiliar with the latter.]

Control Room Team: Action (Arrival in the Control Room)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is for when the team reaches the Control Room. Anyone tagging here will die.))

[great_king_of_evil]

| At this point, all informations have been given and all questions have been answered. By the time Ganon was sure Team Pod was well on its way and was being a good little diversion, he got the Elevator Shaft opened up. ]

...

[ He takes a quick look inside. ]

Follow me.

[crouching_sin]

[Naoya follows, taking care to keep his footsteps as quiet as possible. He keeps an eye out, cautious of what's going on around them and taking in any information that he can.]

Pod Team: Gathering (Dormitory Floor 1, Elevator)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is for everything happening before the Control Room Team enter the Control Room. This is the place where all those involved have been told to gather on the night from the 25th to the 26th.))

[zelda_is_your]

I can't say that I'm too stoked about this plan, but standing around and doing nothing isn't my style, either.

[Link made certain that this time, he bought the bulk of his tools from his trunk. The Medallions had to come in handy, at the very least - though there were no magic potions he wanted to use at this junction.]

Tch.

[crossing his arms, Link simply waits.]

[warriorscribe]

*When Enoch had learned of the rescue plan, he had volunteered to join it immediately. There's a difference, after all, between the followers of a fallen angel undergoing...whatever had given them enough vileness to taint his weapon at such a rate by their own misguided choice and people being abducted by someone to whom they feel no loyalty and altered.

The former was tragic. The latter was infuriating. Inexcusable. Even less so when he'd learned that there were young children being so mutilated. But he wasn't aware anyone knew where they were, and on top of that, he'd...had a few problems of his own in the two weeks since he'd first arrived.*

We can't allow them to keep suffering.

Pod Team: Action (Arrival in the Pods Area)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread if for when the team will get close to the Pod Area. Anyone tagging here risk to die.))

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Even as he stood in front of the Elevator Shaft, he couldn't understand why he was doing this. He knew that this was for saving those inside the pods, but he didn't trust Ganon. He didn't trust that man one bit. Yet he agreed to this all the same. Was it because he wanted to be a hero for once, instead of sitting behind and watching everyone else save him? Or was it pure curiosity?

Either way, he had the Elevator open now and looked inside for a moment before confirming that it was safe.]

Let's go!

[He steps inside and waits for the rest to follow suit.]

[animusnpcs]

[The elevator within is a fairly large one--it could fit perhaps fifteen or twenty people. It's lit only with emergency lights, but the computer panel where buttons would typically be is still active. It reads as follows:

Elevator currently in automatic mode. Please speak your desired location.]

Tower: Jalhalla, Ghirahim, Monsters (All Floors, on either the 24th or 25th)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is if ever you want to fight a monster, to be harmed by Jalhalla or for Ghirahim to hunt you. Specify what it is you want in the title (or not if you have a thread between a few characters you'd like to play out here).))

Jalhalla, but if the Ghirahim + others want to attack him they're welcome to get ownt?

[nightmareofdivinity]

[His power was seething, and even in hybrid form it was not enough. So when he saw the foul beast with its disconcerting aura that was wandering through the tower, it was a welcome chance to relieve some... tension.]

Foul beast, have at thee!

[He transformed further, shifting into full Tyrant Dragon form and racing towards the thing. Intangibility was no problem with some of his spells. He glowed slightly and slammed into (and possibly through) the monster with an Aura Smash.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ WELP Ganondorf had not expected people with Aura/Light based powers because they're very effective on Jalhalla! Let alone a God. So of course, when Fou-Lu slammed into Jalhalla with an Aura smash, it has a disastrous effect. Jalhalla barely has the time to send some flames out-

Fou-Lu's attack "breaks" Jalhalla and let on the loose of the Poes forming its body. Fou-Lu has ten second to kill the most Poes he can before they reform Jalhalla's main body. ]

Monsters!

[teifua]

[Tifa is minding her business, really. She's just walking down to the island floors to look for something to eat. She has no idea there's anything going on and so far things seem quiet.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Well unfortunately for Tifa, soon she's gonna stumble upon what appears to be a knight in armor. Could simply be someone passing by with a lot of armor.

Probably not though when the monster raise his massive sword and gets into battle stance upon spotting her. ]

Tower: Recruitment (All Floors, Days or Weeks before this Event)

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is if ever you want to play out the recruitment part.))

Let's call this one Thursday.

[warriorscribe]

*Between the surprises awaiting a first-time tower explorer, grief, and near-starvation, along with the fact that only two people had ever spoken of the people taken, and that was on his first day here, Enoch had nearly forgotten why the tower was so empty.

He can be found on the large open floor on floor 36, with a stone-lined fire and a couple of fish, one of which he's in the process of eating. Perhaps someone would like to join him and remind him of the peril going on elsewhere in the tower.*

Awright

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Link walks onto floor 36 and notices the fire. The man sitting next to it looked strong, reliable, someone Link would want in his group. He walks over and offers Enoch a smile.]

Do you mind if I join you?

For the pod team!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku had tried to continue as normal, or as normal as it got in a tower plagued with monsters and darkness, a thunderstorm raging outside continuously. He worried about those left in the competition though, he felt guilty that after speaking with Jin and promising to help Dax's pod win he had been sent to where he was no help at all.

I'm going to tag in action, if that's okay! You can continue with prose if you want.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Link was entrusted with gathering a group to save those stuck in the event, and he didn't really know who to look for. People that were strong, of course, and courageous; People who wanted to save those inside. People like himself.

He noticed Suzaku walking by, and stopped to stare at him for a moment. He didn't know Suzaku personally, hell, he didn't even know his name. But he knew this man had been with the others at the beginning, he knew that much.

He walks over to him then, a serious frown set upon his face.]

Excuse me.

Pod Recruitment: first or second day here

[cant_be_tamed]

[Iiiit's not very hard to find this Link. He was still new here, and he's still looking around, getting a feel for the place...but for the moment, he was heading for the dorm floors again, maybe to get something from his trunk or maybe just to rest, who knows.

Easiest recruitment ever, Sky.]

I choose the first day

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Link had just left his room for the day, eager to get started. He was lost in thought as he walked down the halls, and it seems he had run right into someone, which had knocked him off his balance and he ended up falling over. He sits up and rubs his head before looking at the other.... who looked much like himself.

Must be another descendant.]

Ah, my apologies. Are you okay?
