And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

There, got all that? Good. Now, event stuff. Not quite an experiment this time. You know that big ol' Battle Dome? Well, the two NPCs residing under it have been making some tweaks on behalf of the Lucetians. Unfortunately a certain Intern has not quite yet mastered Sixth Level Shifting Fundamentals and... well, things will go a bit awry.

On the 26th, the Dome's chambers will no longer function. Though the clinic and vending areas will be fine, the chambers will be locked off entirely. The viewing areas will be blanked out, preventing anything from being seen.

On the 27th, at about noon, suddenly Luceti will be... a little bit odd. All the sort of things that usually happen in the dome? Now it's all over Luceti. Most significantly this will include 'enemies'. They aren't real and they can't kill, but they can hurt you (though not severely). These can range from RPG monsters, generic enemies (like soldiers, bandits, knights, etc), and so on. When they are defeated, they will vanish in a flash of light. However there's a good chance they may just 'respawn' elsewhere. Annoying right?

Unfortunately the scenarios have followed with it, seemingly at random. While your hallway may now seem like a jungle with all the vines all around, your bedroom looks more like a castle dungeon. Even stranger given that your house looked like a skyscraper from outside. Or, you know, perhaps your home is just fine. Only your neighbors have it bad. This means your house could be infested with bad guys AND/OR look completely different. (In other words, it's only as annoying as you want it to be.)

These shenanigans will persist until the 31st, in the evening at 6PM. Everything will be back to normal... but better! At least in the Dome. After it's been fixed to the way it should be, the Dome will now allow for more freedom. Enemies are no longer required, you can simulate a control console inside the scenario to build a world as you go, you can even script stories together if you like. But that stuff is boring, right? The better part is that vehicles can now be simulated - lasers, racecars, and airplanes. It's a duck blur.

The usual safeties of course are still enabled and nothing in there can kill you. Not even crashing spectacularly in a huge explosion. At best you'll just walk away dizzy.

As usual, plotting and questions can be done here. Have at it, ye scurvy players!

You know, I was just wondering when the next event was going to be announced \o/

House 49! Up for turning part of the house into a Zeldaverse temple? :D (I'm thinking the Water Temple for maximum "ARGH" factor.)

[consultmybooks]

...I would. Actually be up for Giles getting lost in a mini Water Temple. And Link having to rescue him.

...work for you?

[blessedbyfarore]

...I am totally up for that.

[consultmybooks]

*squee* Excellent. He needs a chance for some good, old fashioned puzzle solving.

[blessedbyfarore]

Awesome! Although I haven't played it in a year *stares at post, waits for 3DS and game to arrive*, so I may have to pop through a walkthrough to give myself a refresher XD

[consultmybooks]

I can always hit up some videos on YouTube for reference.

[blessedbyfarore]

Could work, yeah. Zelda Dungeon has some really good walkthroughs, too.

[consultmybooks]

Duly noted.

...considering the potential for this event, this will probably still be one of the easiest encounters Giles has.

[blessedbyfarore]

XD Oh, quite possibly... Bringing anything from the Buffyverse?

[consultmybooks]

Monster possibilities thanks to Giles' canon point include:

-Vampires
-Generic Demons (I do not have the Monster Manual on me, so I can only name a few off the top of my head)
-Human soldiers
-Multidimensional horrors the likes of which man is not meant to see

I would love to bring some stuff in from the Buffyverse. That is definitely the hope~.

If "boss" types are allowed, I'd like to bring in The Master or Twilight.

[blessedbyfarore]

Sounds like fun \o/ I was thinking random Stalchildren at night? They're extremely low-level (two hits with the Kokiri Sword, seriously) and respawn constantly XD Maybe things like Deku Baba, Deku Shrubs, Keese... minor pests like that.

Some more boss-like things would be fun, though. Giant flaming dragon, anyone? 8D

...Also, potentially, Wallmasters in the bathrooms. For some added horror ;)

[goldenglasses]

...you know, before I got onto the interwebs and I played through OOT a couple times; I never had trouble with a water temple, ever.

<_< I had no idea it was such a big thing before them.

[blessedbyfarore]

Me either, actually. And yet, I get the strangest looks when I say it's actually my favourite... the only frustrating part is the boots, and that's been fixed in the 3DS! \o/

I mean, it has fun puzzles, an amazingly challenging mini-boss (I tried JUST using the sword and shield once... it didn't go well XD), and a breather boss at the end. What's not to like?

[goldenglasses]

LOL! Those boots. I kept accidentally taking them off and be all: AH! AH! NO! DON'T FLOAT UP! DON'T FLOAT UP! *puts them back on*

And isn't the mini-boss Mr. Shadowy man? Really? People used more than just the sword and shield to beat him?






................................I r dumbz.

[blessedbyfarore]

Heh, oops XD

Dark Link, yeah. Because he mirrors every move (and stabbing is another whole mess of OH CRAP), people usually use attacks that he doesn't have any way of mirroring, like the Megaton Hammer (hit-and-miss, but satisfying!) or Din's Fire (KILL IT WITH FIRE). I only recently attempted to use the sword and shield and... well, I'm very out of practise XD

[goldenglasses]

I AM SO DUMB.

I remember going: OH! HE HAS ARROWS TOO!? Fuck that. I'm not wasting arrows! *STAB*

At least I always won? ...eventually? But Dark Link was so cool I didn't mind the endless battle half the time.

[blessedbyfarore]

XD It's a stupidly fun battle. I think you can also use the Biggoron Sword to good effect, too?

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

What. Exactly what that mean. xD

Because for serious, all I am thinking is that special boots will be required to run into a bookshelf and knock a book off.

And I don't think that's what you mean.

[blessedbyfarore]

Haha, not quite XD More that bits of the house keep turning into things from the various temples - like, if it turns into the Water Temple, suddenly you have pools of water and water spouts everywhere. Or if it turns into the Shadow Temple, you get bottomless pits and general trauma. Forest Temple is generally an old, crumbling stone building covered in vines, Fire Temple has pools of lava, firespouts, stuff like that, Spirit Temple has... actually pretty cool architecture... I can provide images for specific stuff!

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

that sounds unpleasant.

[blessedbyfarore]

We could limit it just to. Say. The downstairs bathroom. I have this amazing image of it switching temples every time someone opens the door, as per here. (Morpha is basically a giant tentacle made out of water with a nucleus inside, skulltulas are giant spiders, Wallmasters are disembodied rotten hands that fall from the ceiling, grab you by the head, and throw you to the start of the temple).

[distressedude]

Hey.

There should totally be bloodthirsty cuccos all around the village, waiting for some unsuspecting villager to accidentally anger one.

I mean, they count as an enemy, right? xD

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh, there will be. There will be...

/Yoda

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Wooooh! Sounds fun. >:)

[blessedbyfarore]

There may or may not be a parasitic amoeba tentacle monster in the toilet, Tsuzuki. Just as a word of warning.
