[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.

[As far as Richtofen is concerned, since Ganondorf left him in charge while he's off to do other things, that makes him the most powerful person by default. His incredible ego won't allow anyone to convince him otherwise.

Richtofen chatters at her as if they're making small talk over tea.]

It's just so nice to get acquainted with people. Who they are, what they like... To get to really know them, ja?

[And then, in the blink of an eye, he goes from "talking nicely" to "shouting."] ...Before I tear them to pieces! Ha!

[The forest and everyone inside it is serenaded with the sound of Richtofen's bubbling laughter.]

[attheclocktower]

[Well doesn't this sound like a lovely chap to spend some time with, eh? Xion's unease grows, but so does another, very different emotion. She scowls, bringing her Keyblade up in a defensive position.

She yells back over the sound of his laughter.]

That won't be so easy for some of us.

[On both counts. Her chances of sharing her personal information are dwindling to zero at this rate]

[doctor_dismemberment]

They always say that, don't they? [Richtofen still gives a few odd giggles here and there as he speaks.] The strongest ones are always so fun to break down!

[He pauses, and one can practically hear the scowl on his face.]

Very, very annoying sometimes... [And then he's chipper all over again.] ...but fun!

[acceptedoblivion]

[There's a chuckle at that; dark, disembodied, but oh so bemused. It may even sound vaguely familiar to Xion, however warped and indiscernible.]

One thing at a time... or do you want a repeat of that incident?

[There's something feral about this voice, contrasting Richtofen's insanity.]

Besides... it's only as fun as you say if the bark matches the bite.

[Let him have her, make it even worse with their familial ties.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

Bah.

[Even though only his voice can be heard, the annoyance in Richtofen's tone is thick enough to invoke images of bared teeth and furrowed brows.]

Do you always have to butt in?

[acceptedoblivion]

[Hey, not his fault you didn't know of the agreement...]

That depends. Do you always have to be so bitter?

[Come on, old man... you're such a spoilsport!]

[doctor_dismemberment]

I am not bitter. I am simply trying to keep a brat like you from intervening in mein fun with our little captives. Is that so wrong?

[acceptedoblivion]

Intervening? [The voice laughs, as if slightly crazed.] Please. Enjoy your time with them.

[And then, a whisper; one only Richtofen will hear.]

You have the others. Let me have some fun to, alright? Besides... I know her type well.

[And if he has a problem... take that up with who gave them this power and playground.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[There's an easily-detectable dose of animosity in Richtofen's voice when he replies.]

I fully intend to.

[And he whispers right back in an angry hiss.]

Fine. You can have her, but after this, leave me alone!

[He grumbles, and to the people in the forest, it'll sound much like the rumbling of distant thunder. They won't be able to make out any words, but Riku Replica will be able to hear what he's saying clear as a bell.]

Ugh, I always hated sharing...

1/2

[acceptedoblivion]

y u mad, tho?

OKAY THE REAL TAG, NOW

[acceptedoblivion]

Never more of a pleasure to.

[Yeah, he won't have any problems in leaving him be after this. None at all, but when it came to family... you just do what you have to.

Even if you end up hating yourself after.

The rustling ends soon after, and the smirk and note of victory is apparent in his voice. Though it seems... distorted by the wind and a sort of low rumbling.]

Think you're that strong, huh? Then where's the kid you promised to look after? Lose her already?

[Was he implying something? Maaaaybe.]
