[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.

From Banthus to Ran, all from so different backgrounds, yet they all end up the same. Too short-sighted by far.

[She respectfully waited a bit as he voiced his concern, softly spoken as it was.]

Eve was... from a better time. Back when Nasods and humans co-existed equally. [At least, she was taught that by the elders.] She isn't without emotions, no matter how well she tries to hide it. Crow Rider, however, was created for the sole reason of continuing a war. He had only one directive, which was to destroy humans. And until I have proof otherwise, I still believe this is true.

Don't worry, Raven. You're still human.

[unkindnessof]

It's only human, I suppose. [Ha. Ha. Irony.]

... Hm. Still created using me as a template, but I understand. [Deep down he knows there's potential for him to have turned out like Crow (he very nearly did, anyway), but... he didn't, so perhaps he should try to accept that.

Still.]

Sometimes I wonder how you can have so much faith in me.

[It's- a little huffy despite the dryness, like he really doesn't understand it (especially with how moody he is all the time, or how, as she's pointed out on past occasion, he's practically incapable of relaxing- their personalities just don't fit), but he really does appreciate it all the same. That's also his attempt at lightening the mood. Keyword attempt.]

[swiftkicks]

[Playful girl versus moody man. Ever heard of opposites attracting each other, Raven?]

Aw, c'mon, Raven, I just trust you, okay? You might not seem like it but you're a nice person at heart. I can tell, you know~ Just accept that.

[She's just going to playfully punch Raven in the shoulder- stop being so moody all the damn time already.]

[unkindnessof]

[...Magnets. How do they work.]

You just trust me, just like you did back when you only knew me as someone who'd nearly killed all of you by attacking and crashing the airship you were on.

I should say something about how all of you trust too easily, but... I'm thankful for it, so. [hey you know what's awkward yeah this little feelings session right here

And stop being moody? What do you want him to do, change his name to Robin or Schwann or something other than the bird whose groups are referred to as unkindnesses or conspiracies?]

[swiftkicks]

Perhaps we do, but our judgement wasn't wrong, was it~? It all turned out for the best. It also helped that I could see the doubt in your eyes on your airship- your spark of humanity.

[At least it's less 'brooding over the arm' like a certain someone does in an alternate timeline...]

[unkindnessof]

No, I suppose— it wasn't. [uuuncomfortable with this kind of faith again.] How do you even manage to see something like that in the middle of combat... I can hardly recall much of what happened during that period.

[No, he definitely still broods. Just differently. Like by ignoring its existence half the time. But at least it's not "my aaaaarrrmmm..." like in a certain someone's dreams, right?]

[swiftkicks]

It's a secret~ [With a wink too, no less.] Let's just say your almost unnoticeable hesitation helped me deduce that.

[unkindnessof]

Is that how it is... [wait is that him seriously trying to play along with the joke it's a miracle]

So from that alone, you three decided... I'm glad, I guess.
