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

[great_king_of_evil]

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.

Amelia joined the party!

[gradosfinest]

[Time to get down to business. With no obvious way out and something quite evil going on, that meant there was only one thing to do. Start exploring and figure out how to either get out of here or put a stop to it. There's a certain discipline to the way the young soldier carries herself as she approaches the strange looking girl, armored boots echoing through the front hall of the castle. As unusual as Feferi might look to her, if she's another resident of the tower? Chances are she's an ally right now. And it simply stands to reason their odds of survival are better with a group rather than going it alone.]

Excuse me, miss! I think it's dangerous to go alone take this so I think it'd be better if we stuck together. Would it be alright if I came with you? [And hey, meeting potential new allies in the middle of exceedingly dangerous situations was how she'd made... honestly just about every friend since joining the army, really.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi turned around when she heard the voice. It really wasn't a good idea to go into anything like this alone, and she should have known that all along. The girl sounded friendly, and anyone who could keep a positive attitude in a situation like this was a friend she was glad to make. So she smiled and nodded, extending her free hand - the other one holding her weapon, a long double-ended trident.]

I'd really apperchiate that, thank you! I'm Feferi Peixes. It's a pleasure to meet you, though I wish the circumstances were betta.

[gradosfinest]

My name's Amelia, it's nice to meet you too! That's a neat weapon you've got, I bet you probably know how to use it huh?

[With a smile she extended a hand as well, giving Feferi's hand a firm shake before turning her attention back to the rest of the room. Although her hands were empty at the moment there was a rather well crafted silver sword on her belt and a slightly unusual looking black axe across her back.]

It looks like there's three ways to go, and the door to the left looks covered... which way should we go? And what do you think is in those chests?

Gained +2 Party members!

[imperialsun]

[From one of the doors two teenagers emerge; one is carrying a sub machine gun and a sword, the other a giant spear. At the sight of the other two, Naoya walks closer.]

Hello. Are you two alright?

(you are now hearing the final fantasy victory music)

[cullscuttlefish]

I've trained with a double trident from the time I was old enough to hold one.

[Feferi's voice is confident and steady. She's just about to answer the rest of Amelia's questions when the other two approach. She nods.]

I think so! Amelia and I were just trying to suss out which way to head from here. Any thoughts?

[gradosfinest]

[So they had two more companions did they? Excellent, even if one was holding a weapon she'd never seen before. If he'd brought it to a place like this, it probably did something useful at least.]

Wow, then you must be really good with it! [Although bonding over weapons and practice would have to come a little later, for now... this castle. With that her attention turned to the unattended doors and the chests in front of them.]

First things first? I think we should check out the chests, I'll bet there's something useful in 'em. Hopefully they're not locked... [Perhaps either the door to the their front or the right...? She would let one of the others decide that.]

[imperialsun]

[He nods. in many ways, this is way too much like a video game. He couldn't help but feel a little bit excited.]

The chests can be our first priority. Then let's go with the right door. Usually the side doors are the ones with additional items or monsters that are required for the central system.

[Usually.]

[cullscuttlefish]

Sounds good to me. One each, then, and meet by the right door?

[Feferi heads over to the left door, then, tapping at the first treasure chest with the top of her trident. If that doesn't work, she'll try picking the lock, but she thinks that's how you're supposed to do it, at least.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes out of the chest as she opens it...

You got the Ocarina of Souls!
This green instrument is a pale copy of the legendary Ocarina of Time. It looks shiny!

Use it to solve this dungeon's mysteries! When you play music with it, you can feel as if the instrument had been made with hatred at heart. ]

[gradosfinest]

Let's go then.

[And with that settled she'll calmly march over to the middle door, looking over both chests for a moment before lightly kicking the front of one of them. Maybe it'll just pop open? It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot holding these chests shut, but she doesn't know the first thing about picking locks. That was always Colm and Rennac's thing.]

[imperialsun]

[And Naoya does his part too. TREASURES FOR EVERYONE. Once that is done, they can head off to the door.]

[dark_world]

[ A bright light comes out of the chests as they opens them...

Amelia got a Boomerang!
This projectile weapon will help you defeat enemies and solve puzzles.

Naoya got a Purple Rupee!
It's worth Fifty Rupees! Your face should be beaming!


Meanwhile, the right door leads to a seemingly endless corridor with no apparently danger-- However the door will close behind them once they'll all be in. ]

[cullscuttlefish]

[Feferi plays a few test notes on the ocarina. It's got a weird feel to it, but she can't put her finger on what. It goes into a convenient skirt pocket after that, and she nods to the others. Looks like they're all ready, so off to the right door she goes.]

[imperialsun]

[...did he ....did he just end up with an amethyst? He could use that to fuse up some Magarula Stone!


...ahem. He takes it and pockets it in his student vest. He goes into the room first, branding his weapon in front.]

It seems empty but...

[But the door closes behind them.]

...ah.

[gradosfinest]

[Well this is unexpected but surprisingly useful! Although never having actually owned one herself, boomerangs aren't too different from the throwing axes she used to use back in the war. You toss them out, they come back to you... this will give her some much needed range in combat. Nodding to herself she'll just tuck one end of it into her swordbelt so it'll stay there for now and then move over to rejoin the others through the right door. It's time to start exploring this place...

... and that's when the door slams shut behind them. Damn.]

... so I guess we're stuck going this way now.

[cullscuttlefish]

Looks like it. Whale, no sense getting all worked up about it. It'll be okay! We just need to keep going. I think that must mean we're headed the right way, though. Right?

[She intends to make it okay, one way or another. Feferi's still going to be cautious as she heads forward, not too close to the walls, keeping towards the middle.]

[dark_world]

[ The corridor was mostly empty-- A couple spiders on the walls, but they look unoffensive enough and too small to cause damages (even though they are poisonous if they manage to bite).

By the time they would reach the door (count 10 minutes walk) floormasters would appear though, three of them actually. If the gigantic hand out of the floor manage to catch them, they will be thrown back at the entrance of the corridor and have to walk all the way over again. ]

[gradosfinest]

[Thankfully Amelia is nothing if not quick on her feet, and after ten minutes of an entirely too quiet hallway she's beginning to suspect something's off. So when the Floormasters suddenly emerge from the floor she's quick to act, a hand reaching behind her back to bring Garm forth. Under ordinary circumstances she'd be fairly hesitant to make use of its power, but whatever's happening to the Tower is almost certainly evil in nature... this is what Garm is for.

And it would appear Amelia knows how to wield it too, the minute it's off of her back she's moving, surprisingly quickly for a human. Gripped it with both hands she hefts it up and over her head before bringing it straight down at one of the Floormasters in an overhead swing, despite Garm only being a one-handed axe in size it somehow strikes with all the force of a far larger weapon, its evil-banishing powers almost certain to increase the damage inflicted.]

Wow notifs I hate you

[imperialsun2]

[It had been a little quiet. By the time the monsters show up, Naoya's reaction is near instantaneous, and behind him, a bluish glow materializes into one of his Persona.]

Vishnu! Megidolaon!

[Considering the entire situation, he isn't going to mince the situation with small attacks nad see if that works or not. Nope, he's just going to go with the most powerful almight attack that Persona has in its arsenal. The result looks like a giant nuclear explosion near whatever poor handmasters have gotten too close to him.]

[dark_world]

[ Considering the might of the attacks, the poor floormasters would be annihilated within seconds-- Which would in turn allow them to enter the next room.

It was a simple room, with a treasure chests on the ground, many pots and Hylian writings on the walls. The door was blocked with a large stone on which were encrypted the following symbols:
