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.

[Probably hanging around Zelda on ocassion, causing mischief and rollerskating around the tower.]

You know Zelda? Yeah, it's the Triforce. It's a very special artifact in our world.

[faithstaynight]

[Yeah, that's the most likely explanation.]

Yes, I do. [A small smile crosses her face.] She is a very dear friend of mine.

[Ruler turns her violet eyes back to the symbol, the smile turning into a look of curiosity.] An artifact? I thought it was just some sort of holy symbol.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

She's my great great great great grandmother, or something like that. [There might be one or two greats too many but whatever.]

It is and isn't. Ganondorf has a piece of the Triforce. The Goddesses left it in our world for the people they created.

[faithstaynight]

[... Huh. Well that's interesting news. It causes her smile to return, and her head to incline in a small, polite bow.] I see. Well, however distantly related you are to the princess, if you share the same blood, then you may come to me if you are ever in need of assistance. You may call me Ruler.

[And then her attention turns back to the triforce yet again.] So it is, quite literally, a holy symbol. Not some trinket made to represent a holy artifact. [She frowns.] And you say Ganondorf has a piece of it...? What of the other two?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Really? Great! It's nice to meet you, Ruler. I'm Tetra, the greatest pirate on the Great Sea! [Not that there's a Great Sea anymore, supposedly.]

Yep, it's real. Ganon stole his piece and I guess he keeps it because that's how strongly he believes it's his. The other two, courage and wisdom, belong to the people who believe most strongly in it.

[Sorry Ruler, she's not entirely sure about you. And she knows how many people would love to get a hold of a piece.]

[faithstaynight]

A pleasure to meet you, Tetra.

[The lack of complete trust is totally understandable. She'll just have to prove that she's trustworthy!]

It's good to hear that something so important to your world is in safe hands. [If it's important to their world, then it's important to Zelda. That's enough for Ruler to truly mean what she says.] But what would a man of evil want with a holy artifact? Should it not be completely incompatible with him?
