[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.

[That's cool, he's probably going to be doing the same himself once they're out of this. ...Okay, maybe not a long rest, but certainly avoid any of the overly-warm floors for a while. It sucks not being able to move your body properly due to mechanical overheating, okay. Especially when your strongest trait is supposed to be your speed.]

I've had worse. Not the first time I've been in this sort of environment, and while it's just as unpleasant as it was then, it's not unbearable.

...Though, I suppose it certainly wouldn't hurt to keep hydrated, if you're capable of such.

[This is him accepting. How bad could it be?]

[repeatingsun]

Ah, I see. Yeah, being too warm is unpleasant, unless you're one of the rainforest folks. It gets pretty warm there, after all. Not so dry, though. And one glass of water coming right up?

[....Ba-dum! She is now holding a glass of water. It looks perfectly normal and innocuous. For all intents and purposes, it is simply H2O.

It is not going to taste like water at all. It'll taste like something else edible instead.

Pray it isn't durian.]

[unkindnessof]

I'd think this is a bit more than simply 'too warm,' but I understand what you're saying.

[Where did that glass even come from. Oh well, maybe she just... conjured or summoned it, like how Aisha, the resident mage of his traveling party, might've. Water is such a nice prospect right now that he doesn't think too much of it, taking the glass and downing a sizable amount.

...It tastes like fruit.

He doesn't double take but it's pretty clear his reaction, however subdued, is along those lines, eyes widening fractionally as he pulls the glass away to stare at the liquid inside.

It looks like water. It has a water-y consistency. After another moment's inspection he takes another sip and-

It still tastes like fruit. ...Maybe with a hint of spices of some kind.

?????????????]

...Thank you. [...? He thinks 'thank you' is appropriate enough here. Safe enough, at least. What else do you say to that?]

[repeatingsun]

[Upon realizing what happened, she laughs in embarrassment - the first such laugh since she's gotten in here.] I got the taste wrong again, didn't I? Sorry about that!

[THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. YEP. It happened on a city-wide scale, even! Moral of the story: don't let a horrorterror who hasn't tasted things before supply your food and drink!]

[unkindnessof]

[He blinks at her now, a bit.] It's not bad.

I've... had worse.

[Sad thing is that he isn't even kidding: the robot queen he travels with once made a machine that could recycle anything into an edible, nutritious, well-balanced and delicious-looking meal.

...delicious-looking and not delicious because it was anything but. Moral: also don't let a robot that doesn't understand taste supply food and drink, especially not food made from random junk one picks up on the road.]
