[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.

Comments

[tohko_amano]

Tohko couldn't help but chuckle when the boy threw her own words back at her. He may not have been too bright, but he seemed nice.

"Oh, I'm fine for now. Don't worry about me."

[ainohenshin]

Kuwabara was generally concerned with most of the people here, especially girls. Not that he's trying to discriminate. He's just that kind of strange guy that would do that.

"If ya say so. Do ya know where we are, or are ya lost too?" he mused giving her quick look.

[tohko_amano]

Not that Tohko would mind or think that it was strange.

"Well..we're probably in the forest floor, which has been twisted around by Ganon, if you know the guy. I'm not sure how we'll get out though."

[ainohenshin]

"I don't know who Ganon is, but it sounds like he's one tough cookie ta break down. So he's the guy behind this eh? I guess that makes sense that we're on the forest floor but it seriously doesn't look like it's the forest floor."

He kept looking around, "I guess the only thing we can do is move forward."

[tohko_amano]

At the guy's guess at Ganon, Tohko sighed and nodded.

"He is. It's impossible to kill or even injure him without the proper equipment, and he almost turned me into stone once, amongst other things. He's pretty cruel. And I know it doesn't look like the forest floor..but I remember him telling me a story about people turned into trees that looked like this. Maybe this is an illusion of sorts."

Not that she really knew how accurate that was or wasn't. However, she did nod at the second part of his statement. "I guess that's all we can do at this point. If you want to, you can tag along with me until something else happens."

[ainohenshin]

Kuwabara honestly didn't know who this Ganon guy was, but he had his share of villains to know that he wasn't a good person. He was only listening to what she had to say and he was already feeling a little pissed off at anyone who would do that to people.

"Are ya saying he's some sorta immortal?" he lowered his gaze into a hardened look. He had fought gods before, but this was something he probably had never thought of fighting on a normal basis. If he was anything like Yakumo, it would proved to be hell to handle it himself. Yusuke and the gang weren't around to help him win this fight. More importantly, Yusuke would probably be the only one who could take on someone like him, maybe.

"An illusion eh? So this guy's got quite a few damn tricks up his sleeves."

He didn't like it, "Heh, I was gonna offer that to ya. I think we should stick together jus' in case somethin' decides ta happen."

[tohko_amano]

At that, Tohko managed a smile.

"Thankfully, he's not. You need a sword called The Master Sword from his universe, but he can be killed. He's just resistant to any other weapon. I tried to kill him once, but..it didn't work. I wasn't even able to pierce him."

October had been a horrible month, but it had shown her a few things. That had been one of them.

"Sticking together for as long as we can does seem like a good idea. I don't know if we'll be able to stay together, but we should try anyways. By the way, what is your name?"

[ainohenshin]

"Well that ain't too bad right?" he gave her a reassuring look for her smile.

"How're are we gonna get our hands on that then? Jeez," he ruffles his hair a bit at the frustration this was becoming, "We gotta figure out something at least," he muttered the last part before he started to walk again.

"We'll figure it out when we get there if that happens," he offered her a reassuring look, "Name's Kuwabara, Kazuma yours?"

[tohko_amano]

"Nope! I'm not sure how we'll get our hands on it..but I have a theory that other holy weapons that have been blessed by gods may be able to hurt him. There's not much evidence to back it up right now, but it would make sense."

Tohko returned the look as Kuwabara ruffled his hair and followed him as he walked.

"That's true, I suppose..and it's nice to meet you, Kuwabara! I'm Tohko Amano, the book girl."

[ainohenshin]

"This is startin' to sound like some funky RPG," Kuwabara made a face at that comment. Holy weapons now? He didn't like that at all. Either way they would be in for some work if they needed to find those weapons.

"How do we find 'em?"

He walked cautiously as he she followed him, "Nice ta meet ya too Amano-san. Eh? Ya like books or somethin?'"

[tohko_amano]

Tohko looked a little bit..puzzled at that before sighing and scratching her head.

"..I don't know what an RPG is, and nor do I know where we'll find them. I know that sometimes weapons are tools come with people, and sometimes you get things from the Administrators..but other than that, I don't know how we'll make or get them."

At the last comment though, she smiled a little and nodded.

"Of course! I wouldn't be the book girl if I didn't."

[ainohenshin]

"It's a kind of video game....I played lots of those, hehe," he rubbed his head nervously as she said that, "Guess were in for some kind of fight aren't we?" he sighed again. This could end well in their favour or end up completely terrible.

"It ain't a bad hobby ta have an' keep close ta me jus' in case somethin' happens."

He replied after a moment. Kuwabara would never abandon his white knight like traits ever.

[tohko_amano]

"Oh, that's right! I've read about them before..but I don't play video games much."

Tohko chuckled nervously and scratched her head before nodding at Kuwabara's question.

"Yup. There's no way fighting wouldn't be involved with Ganon..and don't worry. I'll be fine if something happens. I have my lightning ring and my dagger. We'll be alright."

[ainohenshin]

"I can teach ya one day if ya want. It's fun for passin' time."

He replied to her offering to lighten up the mood a bit. It was gloomy being here right now. He admitted it whole heartedly.

"Yeah guess not if the guy's in charge of all of this. Eh, so ya know how ta fight too?"

[tohko_amano]

"Oh, if you could, that would be a lot of fun! A friend of mine tried to teach me a little bit before, but we didn't get very far."

Tohko, oddly enough, didn't find it as gloomy. Or maybe she was just putting up another bold front. It was hard to tell sometimes.

"Of course. There's no way anyone should stay here for a long amount of time and not train, even just a little bit."

[ainohenshin]

"If ya really want to. I ain't gonna say no an' I'm offerin' so let's get out of this dump and have some fun!" he replied grinning.

It was what he was good at. Kuwabara wanted to make sure people would be comfortable and safe before thinking about himself.

"I guess that makes lots of sense. Yer goin' the right way Tohko-san."

[tohko_amano]

"Alright then! Hopefully we can get out of here soon then! Maybe I can toss a couple of good books at you too, once this is all over!"

The two were similar then: Tohko was always the type to charge in and fight for other people, even when it would be stupid for her to do so. At that comment, she chuckled and scratched her head.

"Well, I try to. After all, it's hard to protect others without a weapon and the skill to use it."

[ainohenshin]

"I ain't one 'fraid to try new stuff, so feel free ta," he replied watching her cheer up. What a strange girl.

Honestly, most of the girls he knew, they weren't so carefree or as brave as this one here. His sister and Keiko were a good exception. Botan as well. He just shook his head as she scratched her head.

"Guess you're not gonna be a push over eh?"

[tohko_amano]

"I will! It's great that you're willing to try new things though..after all, new things can always give you a different perspective on life." Not that Tohko was depressed before.

Tohko didn't really see herself as being entirely carefree or brave..but she just hated not helping people. That was all. However, at Kuwabara'a question, she nodded.

"Of course not! There's no way I would be able to help others if I was."

After all..if she was, Chia Takeda would have died in her world.

[ainohenshin]

"Ya got me there," he rubbed the back of his head as she said that. He wasn't afraid to try new things. He was always moving forward no matter what. He didn't know that but he would tell her to keep fighting and be strong no matter what happened.

She seemed like that to him, but he could understand otherwise.

"Hehehe, no offense or anythin' but that's pretty neat."

He grins.

[tohko_amano]

Nor was Tohko, to be honest. She couldn't be brave all the time, but she would always try to move forward.

At his compliment, Tohko chuckled and scratched her head.

"Ah..thank you! I just thought it was normal..after all, you don't seem like a push over either."

[ainohenshin]

They shared some things in common. Kuwabara might enjoy her company more later when he learned of that.

He just looks off a little embarrassed for saying that to her.

"Eh, not a lot of girls in my world know how ta fight. There's a few an' they can seriously kick some ass," he replied, "I spent most of my life on the streets, so it ain't anythin' special."

[tohko_amano]

Assuming, of course, that they ever did bump into each other again.

Tohko noticed that he looked a little embarrassed, but couldn't quite figure out why. However, she did nod at his comment.

"Right..hopefully your life on the streets wasn't too rough."

She was trying her best to not be nosy and ask how he got there in the first place.

"To be honest, until I came here, I didn't know how to fight either. However..once you wake up in a Tower full of monsters and horrible Administrators, you have to start, or you won't be able to protect anyone."

[ainohenshin]

That too. He might end up running into few people he knew. That's for sure and he's a guy that likes to keep his relationships with acquaintances on the good side.

"I got beaten up a lot, but nothing that wouldn't heal," he shrugged. He had a great group of loyal friends and trying to beat his rival was the best part of his high school life.

He just did. When you don't see you parents often enough and your main caretaker was your big sister, stuff happens. Shizuru didn't give him any room to mess around, so he probably learned a lot of brawling from her if anything.

"Ya got that right. I like th' way you think."

[tohko_amano]

Tohko loved keeping up with friends and people..but with such a large Tower, sometimes it was tough, or even impossible.

However, at that comment, Tohko smiled and nodded. If it had been painful, she probably would have given him a headpat and some words of encouragement, but it was good that he dealt with it alright.

"Ah, thank you! You probably would have thought in the same way too, if you had come here."
