Warning: Ganondorf, King of Evil- Disguised as Santa Claus for Halloween. This alone is a warning. Also he has a big bag full of coal and coal candies indistinguishable from real candies. And he offers them to whoever want them! Because Ganon Claus is really a nice person.



The truth was that, the Great King of Evil had never appreciated those little games the tower felt necessary to cast unto him. Of course, this time was nothing too bad... If anything, humiliating. After seven months in this forsaken tower, Ganondorf had heard, read and learnt about some of the other worlds customs. So of course it didn't take him too long to realize who this costume was supposed to represent.

Santa Claus. Quite pathetic, why would they have chosen that for him? This foolish old man (from no less foolish legends only ignorant kids believed in) was supposed to give people presents and spread happiness around him. Did they seriously expect him to go through with such silly tasks? No way he would do it. He would simply gather the necessary amount of candies to survive, nothing more.

The costume was pretty well down really. His hairs and beard had even been colored white, and there was a fake, longer beard as well. And glasses. ... And the bag he had been given was filled with coal. Oh, joy.


Anywhere in the Tower (Anytime)
If you are particularly unlucky, you may see a grumpy Santa Claus roaming the corridors. Except this version of Santa Claus has a dark, green-ish and brown-ish skin. And on top of it all, he has red/yellow eyes. In fact, this Santa Claus is kind of creepy compared to the one you can see on Coca-Cola ads (the sad reality is very different from the fiction)!

On October 11, Ganondorf will look particularly annoyed and irritable. That's the bad day to approach him, really.

From the 12th onward though, he will look much better and even smile. The top of his bag will appear to be filled with candies, yes those precious candies you need to survive yet another day. It's too bad if you are fooled by those candies, as they in fact are fake coal candies. And unless you open them, they're indistinguishable from the real deal.

And guess what? Ganon Claus is more than willing to share those fake candies with anyone asking for them! Isn't he just so very nice?


Dorm Floor (11th October)
For some mysterious reasons Ganondorf couldn't even begin to understand, whenever he discarded his coal-filled bag, this bag would find its way back to his... back. Not that it was too heavy for him, but this was an annoyance. An annoyance he'd like to get rid of as soon as possible. Ganondorf turned the bag upside down and let all of the coal fall and roll on the ground before walking away.

It was better. Needless to say, less than a minute later the bag got mysteriously filled again, with the very coal he had discarded. Such was his fate, and he looked particularly angry and furious at that.


Collecting Candies (12th October - 20th October)
You may happen to see Ganondorf surrounded by monsters, on any floors. It was as if he drew the monsters to him, and some of them were monsters he usually kept under control. He was clearly outnumbered and more kept coming, all apparently wanting to kill the Great Demon King. When enough of them were around, Ganondorf would suddenly unleash a powerful attack- Apparently a wave of darkness-like energy, hitting all the monsters within a ten feet radius.

Most monsters died at that, but some survived. It was no problem for Ganondorf though, as he killed the remaining ones either with other magic spells (light-based energy balls and fire attacks for the most part) and cut the head of the most resistant monsters with his sword. In only a few minutes all the monsters were dead and Ganondorf could take all the resulting candies, filling his quota for the day. It wasn't that bad really.

Feel free to help Ganon during the battle or speak to him afterward. Oh and his bag was put against the wall, with delicious fake candies appearing on top of it. He was probably collecting as much candies as he could to survive for the whole week. While he fights you could easilly steal them if so you wish. or wait to ask him. or just ignore them.


Cafeteria (12th October - 20th October)
You'll find the King of Evil eating that atrocious pumpkin food thing. This thing was disgusting, who had had the brilliant idea of making this a pumpkin month? A day or two was nice, but the whole month?

And lo, Ganondorf made all the face as he ate his food. And of course, the bag with fake candies was still nearby and exposed to everyone's view.

cafeteria [16th]

[notagiraffe]

It was getting much harder to find candy, especially when you were a tiny kirin who couldn't collect candy and who was falling sicker with each day that this game went on. Lord Gyousou was collecting for him as well, but still they hadn't found 35 pieces for today yet.

They were resting though, Taiki curled in Sanshi's arms in the cafeteria, the world drifting around him; a sure sign he was very sick. The nursemaid demon was pushing pumpkin into his mouth trying to make him eat.

The iconic figure sitting down from him made Taiki blink though. His earth parents had never celebrated Christmas like that, they were more traditional; not wanting to anger his grandma, but he had watched TV and knew what the costume was. "Santa Clause?" Sanshi blinked at him confused.

[great_king_of_evil]

Ganondorf looked up when he heard someone calling him 'Santa Claus'. Oh no, they didn't. He absolutely hated when people called him that name (and it was happening quite often due to this stupid disguise). The King of Evil disguised as an icon of happiness and joy, just wonderful.

He rose an eyebrow when he saw who called him that though. He was wearing a disguise, but he remembered that kid... He's the one whose 'function' was similar to that if a Sheikah back in his homeworld (at least from what he had understood). he sighs and shook his head.

"Ganondorf." he simply replied "You spoke to me a couple months ago. This is simply yet another disguise, courtesy of the tower."

Was the kid sick? He certainly didn't seem the well and the manner this demon protected him... Well he would find out soon enough.

[notagiraffe]

Taiki peered at him and he realised who it actually was, "Sorry... I couldn't see..." He closed his eyes again, he remembered the man who had been very frightening but playing beautiful music. He had said things Taiki hadn't really understood but had been kind.

"I remember... sorry..." Sanshi pushed another piece of pumpkin into his mouth and he pulled a face, not feeling up to eating.

[great_king_of_evil]

"..."

He simply nodded as an answer, it wasn't all that important. The boy had appeared pretty weak willed a couple months ago (by Ganondorf's standard), but now he looked outright ill. So far he hadn't noticed the candies having such an effect on the people. Maybe something else?

"What's happening to you kid? You don't look so good."

Cafeteria (16th!)

[pengeen]

[Man it sure was suddenly hard to find candy, wasn't it? It was getting late and Kidou only managed to find... ten, out of 35 pieces. He thought he was completely out of luck until he noticed Ganondorf sitting at a table with a bag of candy next to him. A bag. Is that where all the candy was going?

Hesitantly, he makes his way over, and sits down across from Ganon.]

I see you're having an easy time with this, Ganondorf.

[great_king_of_evil]

Kidou.

[ Ganondorf certainly had a lot of candies. By now he had filled his candy quota to survive at least until the 20th. Admittedly it was pretty easy when you could attract monsters to you and slay them as if they were nothing but cake.

However, while he could technically have filled that bag with real candy, this wasn't quite what Kidou might expect it to be, to say the least. Alas... ]

This is nothing complicated for me to accomplish. How are you doing yourself?

[pengeen]

[He looks at his basket and sighs.]

Not good.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ He quickly took a look inside and shook his head. ]

You don't have a lot of time left. Anyone helping you out there?

Thar be a battle going on

[whiteblackknight]

[Is that some vaguely evil looking guy in a Santa Claus costume?]

*explosion*

[Yes. It is a very evil looking guy in a Santa Claus outfit.]

[The bag is derelict and unprotected. While not a participant in the costume party everyone was having, Mr. Walker decides to sneak a peek into that large bag he's carrying around purely out of curiosity.]

[Temptation to just eat the entire thing is not beyond his train of thought.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ The battle draws to its end, Ganondorf is killing the remaining monsters. Candies fall from the corpses and of course Ganondorf collects them (he doesn't bother grabbing them with his hand, no, instead he has them float directly to him.

Meaning the Evil King doesn't get to see the man lurking near his bag (or at least pretends not to). Would you fancy serious stomach pain? Coal candies ain't exactly on the doctor's prescription for an healthy meal but Ganon is a douche so he doesn't care if people eat them.

... Well, actually Ganondorf turns to the man near the bag when the battle is over and stares at him. Not interrupting him though. Simply waiting to see if he'll go ahead and pick some candies. Or if he'll notice the cold glare directed at him.

Both option should be amusing. ]

[whiteblackknight]

[...coal? Huh. Allen thinks Santa must be adhering to a "good night/bad night" schedule.]

[No presents, though. Curiosity, sated.]

[Uncomfortable feeling of being watched, now. Mr. Walker blanches the instant he sees those beady eyes staring right back at him.]

[Allen secretly hopes that this lands him on the naughty list.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ The naught list is actually the favored list of this version of Santa. The good list is the one getting coal.

This being said. Ganondorf stares some more before speaking. ]

Having fun with these candies, boy?

17th

[scorchedchivalry]

[On this particular day, GanonClaus may notice, while he's calling the monsters to him, a maid passing by. She grabs one of the bigger monsters by the arm and easily throws it to the ground as if she wasn't a five foot tall, petite female. With a single stroke of Excalibroom her broom, she cleaved its head off then collected the candy.

Flicking the blood off her broom, she glances over at Ganon while he kills his lot of monsters. It might be hard to tell this maid as being the same as the somewhat androgynous dark knight in full armor at the Villain Meeting, but the feel of her pale yellow eyes was the same as that the knight had emanated.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Under normal circumstances, Ganondorf may have reacted very badly to someone stealing his monsters and candies. Especially when they happen to be dressed... Like that (at least his disguise wasn't the worse all around).

However, Ganondorf is much more lenient with those who attend the reunions. He didn't remember her at first, but he has an excellent memory and has no difficulty recognizing her face so he let her kill some monsters and collect her loot in 'peace'. For someone her size, she was quite impressive.

In the meantime he would have killed most monsters. When he's done, well all his candies fly at him (with age, Ganon grew lazy and won't even kneel to pick his candies up). He looks at her though. ]

Impressive.

[scorchedchivalry]

Did you expect less?

[Her expression soured then.]

Costume choice aside.

[great_king_of_evil]

I have met people I expected a lot from in this tower.

[ He puts the candies in his bag and is done for the day. ]

They ended up being disappointment. As for your costume choice, I've seen worse.

[ Like, his. ]

Cafeteria, 16th.

[tohko_amano]

Tohko wandered into the cafeteria, looking to clean up any messes made, when she spotted a rather large man in a Santa suit. He was eating quite a bit, and leaving some crumbs on the table, and while this didn't piss off Tohko, it did annoy her, so she walked up to him-ignoring the constant pain she felt and the blood that oozed out of her cuts-and cleaned up the crumbs.

"Sir, please be more careful not to make a mess. Accidents can happen if you don't try to be neat."

[great_king_of_evil]

Now the Demon King was offended when he heard that young woman addressing him. Making a mess, he? As a King, Ganondorf was very well educated and barely left any crumbs or stuff. Well probably a few but everyone did.

So he would slowly raise his head and glare at her. The kind of glare that indicates he is halfway between wanting to kill her for her affront or curse her for her impudence.

"... Would you mind to repeat what you just said?"

[tohko_amano]

Tohko sighed, and ignoring the glare, she repeated herself.

"I said that accidents can happen if you don't try to be neat." Tohko wiggled her fingers in front of him for emphasis.

[great_king_of_evil]

"You are correct."

Congratulation, he is not hungry any more. If there was one thing Ganondorf never could bear, it was people ordering around or threatening him. The Evil King slowly and delicately took his dish, as if he was going to clean what little scrubs there may have been around it. But no... Instead he suddenly turned it upside down, all the food falling down on the table in a mess, before discarding the dish and throwing it against a nearby wall.

This was not over though, no. Within the second following Ganondorf grabbed his cup of tea and smashed it brutally on the table- Of course the cup shattered into tiny pieces and the pumpkin tea most likely splattered all over the girl. The whole time? He looked dead serious, hiding the anger.

"There, an accident happened. What now?"

Dorm floor

[humsalament]

[If this were any other time, Midna would be busting her gut laughing.]

[But no, floating around in a similar costume herself, she can't help but match his expression the moment she turns the corner and meets the Great King of Jolly face to face.]

You have to be joking.

[She hates you so much right now.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf's eyes widen when he spots the imp-like creature. of course he remembered her. She's the one who had somehow been cursed by his alternate timeline self.

Likewise he would be laughing. At another time and another place, this would even be hilarious. But here he is simply angry that the administrators felt necessary to pair his disguise with hers.

At least he knew enough to say that her disguise was one of those serving Santa. Could be useful in the end. ]

...

[ He shakes his head, clearly as annoyed as she is. ]

The Goddesses must hate you as much as they hate me.

[humsalament]

I thought that was already obvious. [Midna glowered at Gannyclaus, making sure he could feel all the annoyance. The nature of the relationship these costumes share wasn't so clear to the Twili. After all who would be stupid enough to insinuate that she actually served him?]

Around the Tower (4th floor?) - 14th

[littlesound]

[Sonata had been hard at work gathering candy for the past several days. But yesterday she had just barely managed to get her quota. And that wasn't any fun at all. She had to get some candy, and fast. She was gonna have to go fight things.

So she was making her way upwards, in her cute bear costume, with a pumpkin bucket in one hand and an energy sword in the other... but when she hit the 4th floor, hey, who was that? What was that?]

...Santa?!

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Again. Goddesses, Ganondorf was sick of people calling him that ridiculous name. Yet again, this had allowed him to fool a few people and have them eliminated from this thing... he turned to face her-

The dark, green-ish skin associated with the way too big nose may be a first hint to the fact that guy isn't Santa. His voice may end up being another. ]

No.

[ Clearly sounding annoyed. ]

This is only a ridiculous disguise.
