[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.

WTF oh wow the tag for this didn't send and I notice only now?! What fail on my end T-T

[explodewiththerage]

[Natsu is just happy to not be alone in this weird place. Besides the more of them were in this place the faster they could brainstorm a way out. Or so he likes to believe.]

Yea guess it does. But I guess that doesn't matter now. So lets figure out how to get out of this mess first.

It's okay! <3

[rememberscarlet]

[Jellal has noticed by now that it isn't quite that easy. Even so... Natsu is hope and while he shouldn't be here, he is and if anyone can just charge ahead and burst out, it's him. Hopefully anyways.]

Right. [He turns his head a bit, eyes narrowing at the forest around them.] ...Do you recognize this magic?

[explodewiththerage]

[A lot of people see him that way except himself. Oh well if it helps then might as well go with it. Pausing for a moment to sniff the air and the magic filling it.]

No can't say I do. But it feels nasty.

[rememberscarlet]

[Somehow, that doesn't surprise Jellal at all.

A nod.]

We mustn't be careless.

[Whoever has shaped this place... they are certainly powerful]

[explodewiththerage]

Like that's anything new for a mage.

[Danger and caution were one of the two constants in that particular lifestyle.]

So what've you been doing in this place?

[No need to walk around all quiet like without some bit of chit chat right?]

[rememberscarlet]

Indeed.

[Have a soft chuckle, a smile and a nod; he should have expected that answer. He pauses shortly as he tries to summarizes his activities best he can.]

Shortly after my arrival, I was assigned as librarian; I've been spending much time there trying to find what information I can.

[Since well. Knowledge is power and all.]

Apart of that, I've been offering services and advice where and when I can.

[Path to atonement and all. If he can be useful to someone else (not evil, mind you), he is glad.]

[explodewiththerage]

Librarian? Wow we must've been really off then. Lucy loves to read. Like really loves so she'd probably be spending a lot of time in the library.

[Though the role doesn't seem as outlandish as one might think given Jellal's history.]

Oh so sorta like me just seeing what needs to be done while also looking for the loopholes to get out of this place.

[rememberscarlet]

Well, there are two libraries. [So maybe they've just had really rotten luck all this time.] But I doubt it would have been much longer until I'd have run into her.

I suppose.

[Even if maybe with a little more selfish motivation on his part.]

[explodewiththerage]

Yeah probably. I'll tell her to look you up next time I see her...which I wish I knew when since I don't exactly see a big red door with an 'exit' sign on it.

[It's never that easy.]

[rememberscarlet]

There isn't, but I doubt that whoever created this place is planning on having us sit idle.

[That's almost a certainty, really.]

We'll have to play along for the time's being.

[And that thought really, really makes him uncomfortable for some reason... for reasons that go beyond the unease the dark magic fueling this forest stirs in him.]

[explodewiththerage]

[ A low growl emanates from his throat]

Playing along just ain't my style. It's a lot easier just busting stuff up.

[Like your tower. Woops shouldn't mention that]

[rememberscarlet]

[Another to-be-expected-answer - that is, after all, Fairy Tail's style, isn't it?

Still, Jellal worries... it's not like there is anything to bust in front of them... just yet anyways.]

Why don't we see, if anyone else here knows more about what is happening? I doubt any of them volunteered for this any more than we did.
