[Dark World Event] || [The Evil Realm] || [Open] || [2/3]

Characters: Anyone who signed up for the Dark World Plot! Look at tag list for more details.
Setting: The 4th and 5th of March. Located in the Cursed Floors + Ganon's Tower (Floors 6, 7, 8, 12, 62, 65, 68, 70, 73 and 79 + Floor 75).
Format: Most likely action but left at the players's discretion.
Summary: Your character somehow got trapped in the Forest Floor of the Tower-- And it looks nothing like the Forest Floor the characters remember. It's the beginning of the Dark World. Some floors look pretty different from what they did before, some nearly identical. The only way to get out is to go through the dungeons that make up this Dark World.

All characters start out in the Dark Forest, then as they go throughout the forest, they magically walk into one of the three dungeons (the one they have been assigned to). By exploring the dungeons, they will acquire one of the three Pendants that lead to the Core of the Curse, from where the cursed floors can be ended. However, Richtofen is there and happy to make sure that won't be that easy.

Mingle threads are simply for Mingle, whereas the exploration of the dungeons, puzzles, etc happens in the Exploration threads. OOC information here.

Warning: While your character may survive fine and all, the dark world is a dangerous place with lots of monsters and puzzles to solve. Characters may get harmed or killed, but that is left to the players's discretion. Characters going through the water of temple may lose their patience and sanity.


Arrival in the Dark World
Here are simply listed the three different ways your characters may have gotten dragged into the Dark World. Note this can be a combination of many of these ways, feel free to pick how your characters arrived in!

• The character may simply have been present on the floor when Ganondorf cursed it. That's really… Bad luck? If that is how it happened, the character would have been immediately transported into the Dark Forest Floor. If they arrived before the 4th of March, they would have been unable to leave this floor for three days. Which may be pretty unnerving.

• The character may have been caught by a floormaster or wallmaster somewhere throughout the tower, and cast into the Dark World. Floormasters and Wallmasters are gigantic and creepy black, red or purple hands that come out from either the floor or the ceiling and take characters to another part of the tower, point in case the Dark Forest.

• They character may have found one of the black doors of Mordor leading into the cursed floors. Out of luck, a creepy black hand similar to that of wallmaster could have come out of from the door and have dragged them in.

• The last option is the simplest, Ganondorf hided in the shadows and cast a spell on you that teleported you right into the Dark Forest. This option is mostly directed to those who have past history with Ganondorf or who are known to be close of Princess Zelda, Link and Tetra.

[The pain does decrease a bit now that Asch isn't trying to make a point; he just sort of sits back to pay attention to Luke's sense to try and figure out what happened, and oh - ]

/Hello, Sheba. Don't mind Luke, he's being an idiot as usual./

[And fuel to the fire, Luke, the words addressed to the nice girl invading your privacy aren't nearly as disgruntled. Kind of strange, the idea that someone other than Luke can hear him like this... Eh, he'll work with it.]
sacred_flamer: (LHL: brb headache fon call)

Sooooob

[personal profile] sacred_flamer 2013-03-04 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh geeze, she can speak in his mind too?! Could people please stay out of his head for once?!]

[The pain lessens, but it still hurts, almost like Asch is shouting at him from a massive distance.]


Ow... Asch, seriously... this hurts more than usual...!
seekinganswers: (concerned)

[personal profile] seekinganswers 2013-03-04 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope. Never, Luke.]

Hello, Asch! [She sounds cheerful enough... until Luke mentions that it hurts more than usual. Then she frowns a little.] Hey, go easy on him... this place is sort of freaky. Do you have any idea what's going on here? Are you somewhere nearby?
bloodyashes: (Default)

[personal profile] bloodyashes 2013-03-04 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Luke, you'll have to hold on a minute, the adults people with two-digit ages are talking.]

/No, I'm up in the lounge. I don't know what happened, I just felt you - [And that with a mental nudge at Luke.] starting to panic, so I looked in./

[And then there's the faintest mental sensation, like he's squeezing Luke's shoulder in his mind.]

/I'll be keeping an eye on you, but try to keep out of trouble./

[And on that note, the pain of the connection fades away to almost nothing. Asch isn't quite gone, but he's not making contact, either.]
sacred_flamer: (LHL: What is this pain...?)

[personal profile] sacred_flamer 2013-03-04 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[All of the breath in Luke's body seemed to come rushing out at once, and he fell forward, clutching at his chest as he tried to get it back.]

...o-ow...
seekinganswers: (Be more careful next time!)

[personal profile] seekinganswers 2013-03-04 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Luke!

[She kneels down to try and catch him, one arm around his shoulders to steady him. As weird as hearing Asch in Luke's mind had been, this was a little more concerning.]

Are you going to be alright..?
sacred_flamer: (LHL: Being serious here.)

[personal profile] sacred_flamer 2013-03-04 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, I'm fine. It usually goes away after a moment.

[The pain was already starting to ebb, and he let out a faint breath.]

Something weird must be going on. It normally doesn't hurt that much.
seekinganswers: (Just another conversation)

[personal profile] seekinganswers 2013-03-04 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Is it always like that when he..?

[She frowns. To her knowledge, mind reading had never caused pain before - but then, from what she'd seen of the connection between Asch and Luke, they were a different case entirely. She shuts down her Psynergy and eases out of his mind. He's got enough to worry about without her constantly mindsnooping on him.]

..worse than usual..? It must be this place, then. That's the only thing that'd be different from normal that I can think of. [She frowns.] Maybe we should take a look around? ...oh, how are you in combat? We should try to cover each other in case something happens. I wouldn't put anything past whoever's behind this.
sacred_flamer: (LHL: :D)

[personal profile] sacred_flamer 2013-03-04 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah…

I… don't think he actually means it. It's just a side effect.

[Be thankful he's making an excuse for it, Asch. Be. Thankful.]

[Luke stood up then, wobbling a little, but otherwise alright. He rubbed the back of his neck at her question, knowing Asch still had to be listening, even if he couldn't feel him.]


Well… I'm not bad, but I'm still learning. I have a couple of great teachers, though.
seekinganswers: (Maybe a little overconfident...)

[personal profile] seekinganswers 2013-03-04 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think he'd mean to do it either...

[Goes to show how much Sheba knows. Or doesn't know, really. Your call.

She watches with concern as he gets to his feet, but when he doesn't fall back down again, she lets out a very small - almost imperceptible - sigh of relief. Somehow, she got the feeling Asch wouldn't be very happy with her if she let Luke get hurt...]


Well, you're probably better than me. [She chuckles.] I mostly cast spells from a distance - but I think it's good to have some variety. We should be okay... want to take a look around and try to get a feel for this place?
sacred_flamer: (LHL: :D)

[personal profile] sacred_flamer 2013-03-05 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke offered her a bit of a lopsided grin.]

That's great! It's been awhile since I've fought with a fonist to back me up.

[He paused at her question, looking around.]

Yeah... that sounds like a good idea.
seekinganswers: (pleasant conversation)

[personal profile] seekinganswers 2013-03-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheba returns his grin with one of her own, not even batting an eyelash at being called a "fonist" - by now, she knows that what people from Auldrant call fonists are what people from Weyard would call Adepts.]

Great! In that case, let's go!

((Should we shuffle over to the forest exploration thread or would you rather just handwave that they stuck together until they ended up at their respective dungeons?))
