we'll rise up and take the power back

[tacticaldisaster]

Characters: Team Hero [Robin (tacticaldisaster), Hakumen (iamthewhitevoid), AU!Link (ocariness), anyone else who wants in]
Setting: Floor 101, elsewhere in order to pick up allies
Format: Starting with action, do as you wish after!
Summary: The Fellowship of Heroes is formed in response to the Rebellion plot.
Warnings: HEROES BEING HEROIC. I actually don't know yet tho.


[Robin has noticed that on some of the floors, one simply cannot use their powers. Even her tomes are defunct - she's tried. Experimented, if you will - and kept meticulous notes in her journal just in case something went wrong.

This counts as "something going horribly wrong", this increase in drones and mutilated, mangled, brainwashed people. Some floors she hasn't gotten to check out yet -- but she's going to have to try, she thinks as she steps onto the last step up. It's a glowing step (she notes that), and just like that she is teleported into what seems to be a hanging garden. Very handy; the drones may not be able to follow a person here as easily as they would otherwise. A quick test tells her that this is another "powerless" floor.

Good thing she can use a sword as well as she can use magic.

"Floor One Hundred One: Garden floor, accessed via non-obvious teleport on last step up of staircase. No powers permitted. Apparent disconnect from the rest of the tower; no staircase. Arrow buttons apparently a replacement as such. Up and down arrows, specifically - indicating direction of return?"

For now, this is as good a base of operations as anyone could hope for. Here, she'll be on equal standing with any drone that manages to get in, because if she can't use her powers then they probably can't either. The only problem, of course, is that she appears to be alone.

There is always and has always been safety in numbers.

As a result, Robin can be found with the hood of her duster/cloak up on the floors nearest the teleport, trying to locate others that haven't been brainwashed.]

[OK last she checked, crazy Picasso drone people didn't wave before they attacked. Collar seems legit too! Makoto waves back awkwardly]

Uhm, yo! Nice threads, I'm diggin' the vintage look! Are you alright?

[ocariness]

[ Head... tilt.

Sorry Makoto you're just confusing the Hylian. What's a vintage??? They do have a notepad around here somewhere, maybe they should actually bother to use it? But after a moment, Link nods and offers a friendly smile--they're just fine!

Let them find that notepad and pencil hang on--Link writes something down and the Tower is nice enough to translate it. It reads:

hi im Link :)
what happened you seem upset did you get attacked
the admins did this to everyone im sorry ]

[planetcrusher]

[Man, why does everyone else get all the rockin' names? Sol Badguy, Xerxes Break. Even in comparison Link is simple, but it's got a nice ring to it! Bet'cha twenty bucks it's symbolic.]

Nice to meet'cha Link! Don't sweat it, I'm cool, just confused as hell! I knew there was an uproar about the food, but "zombie apocalypse as means of retaliation" is a bit overkill dont'cha think? .... Oh god, was it the nutrition bars? By the time I realized it I'd scarfed down two of the things already! Iwasjusttoohungrytostopand - I'm too fuzzy to diiieee...

[ocariness]

[ ... Pfff.

Pfffmlkasmlfdkfmg HAHAHAHA sorry but you're getting a really hoarse chuckle from the Hylian, Makoto. They shake their head. No, it wasn't the food bars, you silly thing! And yes, the name is quite symbolic, though Link has no idea of that; most Kokiri have that sort of name. ]

[planetcrusher]

[That's not exactly the sorta reaction she was looking for, Link!! But laughter's a good sign, right? People don't usually laugh at your expense in a zombie apocalypse. Unless they're evil. Or creepers. Or evil creepers. Like Relius]

So I'm assuming that means I'm in the clear right? Yeeeeeeesh, great!! Now if only I could get this horrible taste outta my mouth...

[Seriously, what were those things made out of? ... Best not to ask]

[ocariness]

[ Link can help with that, at least, and after a moment where they manage to calm down, there's a helpful smile.

i could find you some berries and such
it would help
i dont eat anything jason makes its unnatural ]

[planetcrusher]

Unnatural, huh? ... D-do I even wanna know?

[As if in response she shivers, the fur on her ears and tail standing on end. That gets her waving her hands in protest before Link can even THINK to go on.]

On second thought! Hooooww about we don't and say we did. For all of our sakes. Especially mine. Food would be awesome right now, really it would, but I can't stuff my face at a time like this! Think I could take a raincheck? When this all blows over you can show me later!

[ocariness]

[ ... Snort. Link just shrugs. Okay, Makoto??? Didn't know this was a thing, they're used to getting odd requests in the middle of important quests.

Seriously.

HEY YOU. RAISE MY CUCCO.

HEY YOU. BREAK MY CURSE BY KILLING 100 SPIDERS WHILE YOU TRY TO FIX THE ENTIRE WORLD.

HEY YOU, WIN THIS GAME FOR ME.

HEY YOU, CELL ME CRAP WITH C.

It's no big deal. ]
