He knew it was unfair to judge her right away; she wasn't him... but the fact of the matter was that he could feel the same aura coming off of her that he radiated, even if it wasn't as hostile. Davoth was a tyrant, evil and fury given form; given his form...

...But this wasn't that. This was just a girl. A girl he knew better than to underestimate, but she hadn't proven herself an issue that needed to be dealt with just yet. Still, it didn't put him at ease.

As he stood in her presence, he did little else but stare her down. Very few thoughts were in his mind, with him focusing entirely on keeping an eye on her. It was obvious whether or not she could read minds that this man had trust issues, especially toward those of a more... Hellish persuasion.

❮ Heh. And I see you're just as full of rage as when we last spoke. ❯

That pure, unadulterated feeling of animosity will always be amusing to Sam.

"It seems the Jar of Dirt is an actual participant of the games rather than just a joke entry. I wonder what everyone is saying about it."

"What?!" Josep checks on the speakers. "Gah! The sound's fucked!"

"What?! Why?? I just got this laptop after throwing the other one away and having Guy burn it!"

"I just hear this scratching sound. Maybe we watch on our devices?"

"I am NOT watching this stream on a piddly phone screen! Especially without my glasses"

"You should be wearing them either way."

"Details, details."

-=MEANWHILE….=-

Guy somehow turns Thonias in a newt. "Relax, fella. It frankly doesn't make you look too different."

He proudly looks at his work. "This looks like a spell that you could pull off, Phi. Maybe if you practiced your Breath of Life more, you can teach yourself shapeshifting since you already know some levels of carnoma-

And then he has no more jar. "FUCK!! WHERE'D YOU GO?!?!"

The Jar of Dirt went off to team kill other folks including Davoth, of all people. Especially Davoth. Praise it, it's doing far more than Phoebus ever did alive in the Hunger Games.

The hero had been slain. He had managed to prevent the one thing it would take to seize control of Hyrule from him, and now he ruled over the land with an iron fist. His power had far exceeded anything else around him...

Ganondorf had won.

And yet strangely, he felt something... dark. A strong power in its own right. Stronger than him? Not if he had anything to say about it.

It was in Hyrule Field, a rather open place, which gave him a pretty good view of what laid before him - a red, metal giant. Something akin to a rogue Iron Knuckle? Maybe, but it felt too powerful for something of that nature. That aside, they tended to carry axes... he didn't see one on this being.

Regardless, he clenched his fists and stormed his way into the field, his fists clenched and bathed in dark energy. When he was close enough, he stopped, staring the figure down from a distance.

"Don't tell me; another hero, come to try and end my rule?" he says, his voice cool. "Whoever you are, you are making your presence more than known in my kingdom... I suggest you leave before you draw my ire."

[expvrgction] "You and the pink child speak to and of the other merman an awful lot. Does he have any visible mark on one of his shoulders? Kelp hiding his chest, perhaps?" (Davoth @ Bandanna Dee. oh no, considering this man frightened bandanna and almost drowned him)

"Ack!!"

What the-where did he come from??? This towering figure...Bandanna had seen him before! Those red beacons once again bore into him, his heart and mind clutched by the memories of that awful day of fishing. His stubby arms shook, but he eventually managed to whip out his spear to brandish it.

"...M-M-Maybe we have, maybe we haven't! What's it to you? Wh-Why do you care?!!?"

Oh, he knew exactly who the monster was referring to, but he wasn't stupid. He wasn't going to allow anyone else to fall into Davoth's clutches, if he could help it.

[expvrgction] Now this wasn't the world the Doom Slayer wanted to go to, but at least the environment was familiar enough for him.

He wasn't too far from the nearest settlement, but inhabitants there are alien to him. At least he could see some Waddle Dees going about their day, some enjoying life on the beach, but the others? None whom he had met before.

The armored man stood there silently, unsure if it would be wise to approach these beings-- He wasn't the most social man nowadays, couple that with the thought of there being those protective of their land.

But there were a lot of things he needed to know.

(big boi doomguy @ elfilin and dimentio!)

At first, the waddle dees seemed blissfully unaware of the foreign soldier's presence. However, over time, they started eyeing him curiously and whispering to each other. Some of the wild beasts also watched, hidden within the greenery. It was difficult to tell if any of them knew of him from Dream Land, but at least they didn't look apprehensive (yet).

The two unrecognizable beings in question appeared to be sitting in the grass, a large tub of water in front of them. The fuzzier one watched as the more colorful one tied a string to a small branch. Then, a magnet was attached to the other end of the line.

"Alright, now let's see if I can make this work..."

Scattered about was a collection of tiny fish-shaped metal toys. The jester picked one up, stared at it intently, and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the toy began to violently wriggle in his hand, as though it were a real aquatic creature, and slipped into the tub with a splash! He then proceeded to do the same with the other toys until they were all swimming about in the tub, a makeshift miniature pond. It was a fairly simple animation spell, but effective for what it was needed for.

"There you go, Elfie! Now you can finally have your own fishing fun!"

"Whoaaa! This is so cool! Thank you~!"

The rodent fluttered about like an ecstatic butterfly before taking the pretend rod and practicing his casting. It was only then that his friend noticed the Doom Slayer standing in the distance. He froze, his smile fading as he tried to determine if they were in danger or not. That armor and weaponry looked...pretty threatening...

"Hello?" he called out, cautiously floating forward, "...Can I help you?"

[expvrgction] It seems like Len has received a letter of sorts! Were he to look through wherever the letter was sent his way, he would find an envelope with no stamp nor address. It only stated who the recipient was. If he opened the envelope and unfold its contents, he would see a piece paper with a strange and creepy rune being drawn, and judging from the color, was drawn with red ink. A small ":)" can be read at the bottom of the letter. Was someone out there trying to curse the restaurant he works in, or was this more directed to him? How did they even manage to send this to his work address!? Whether or not the rune would do anything, it would be best to discard it as soon as possible... Preferably by burning it. (congratulations, davoth has noticed len's existence. from this meme!)

"... Boss, I'm heading out on my smoke break!"

"5 minutes, boy!"

"Got it."

He stepped out back, holding out the letter and envelope to one of his co-workers, Nel. "Smoke break."

Nel nodded before spitting out some flames, burning the papers to ash. "So, who do you think sent you that, Lenny?"

"Eh, dunno. Probably wasn't the starfish and it's not going to be the last."

The half breed elemental punched Len in the shoulder. "Ya gotta let me go toast that starfish problem of yours."

"You'll just hurt yourself." Len rubbed his shoulder.

"You're on a beach. I saw you fall into the water and I pulled you out before you sank." He was aware that while he could breath underwater, humans couldn't.

"I think you've been out a few minutes. I'm not good at keeping time. No watch." The pink scaled boy laughed a little. He was curious where she came from but he figured that if she wanted to tell him, she would.

[expvrgction] "I encountered pirates where I'm from before, and some more vicious than you. Except they have ships that can fly."

"Oh sure, everyone's a critic. Look, I'll have you know that I, Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, can take on any pirate challenger! I've got a wit sharper than any flying pirates!"

[expvrgction] "unusual floatsam" (doom slayer @ galacta. from this meme!)

You wake up on a Beach...

He was confused. Frenzied. Basically panicking.

Immediately after being brought back to reality after his nightmare-induced rampage, the first thing Galacta did was take to the skies and fly away.

Far away.

It felt wrong. Everything felt wrong. He felt wrong.

The puffball's mind raced as he streaked across the sky, ignoring the growing gray of clouds and ferocious winds that ripped past him.

Flying straight into a storm was not something he would have normally done. But his mind was a blur, struggling to remember what had taken place.

What had he done? Why did he feel this way?

The air around him crackled and fizzed. Before he could ask himself anything more, the air grew hot and still and quiet.

A light enveloped Galacta's vision as a bolt of lightning he wasn't prepared for is dropped on him. Stunned, he is sent plummeting to the foaming ocean below...

... ... ...

A mass of tangled white feathers conceal the vibrant pink being out cold on the sand that following morning.

It would have been easy to dismiss them as the body of an albatross or some similar creature, if only his iconic shield and lance were not stuck in the sand nearby.

A cold rain sprinkles from the still gray sky above. The ocean laps at the tips of his feathers, claiming a few loose ones to drift to sea.

@expvrgction moved this thread to here!

"I'll tell ya what I know. Didn't get there until everything happened, unfortunately." Storo still feels a bit guilty about not being there to help smash the individual responsible to a pulp.

"Spinni and Doc were doing some things, an' I guess Spinni found this weird lookin lobster. Never saw it do anything, but after a lil spat between her and Doc, weird things started happening. Doc's lab went all dark and covered in this goo, even got on him-" Storo takes a pause to angrily grunt. "He hates anything touching him, 'specially unknown substances."

Another pause, brow furrowing as he thought about other things he had heard were related. "Clean up took awhile, and in that time Spinni and Galacta were also given these weird crystals. Dunno about the one Spinni got, Doc's looking into it. But the one Galacta got? Been told it is bad business."

That is... a lot of names to drop to someone who doesn't know who any of those people are.

"Something ain't right-- You're not the one I'm looking for." (a wild phobos has appeared!)

"Don't sound so disappointed; you'll make me cry." He chews on the end of his cigar a bit before pulling it from his lips, blowing a large smoke cloud.

"I assume you're looking for that Doomed Marine. No clue where the hell he's gone to, but I guess I'm housesitting for the night. At least until I can get the hell out of here."

[expvrgction] Kahann was about to leave with apples he just bought before looking at one little boy in particular. If viewed from Josep's perspective, he would see an unusually tall man-- Long, black hair, blue eyes and he was in outfitting and gear fit for a traveler. This man looked like he was from further north. One couldn't help but wonder what he saw in his travels, let alone stories. "Good morning! What's a little boy doing here in a busy marketplace? Are you with your parents? Maybe siblings?" He asked. (josep lookin' death in the eye... without the death aspect showing, sjdlksj;l)

Send Anons to pre-1498 Josep Frances

The kid just stares at the tall, black haired man, clearly foreign even within the combined kingdoms of Spain. For this reason he can't help but just keep on staring until he realizes he's being noticed.

"Oh, uh, I'm with my brother! But even then, I'm old enough to do tasks at the marketplace myself!

"….With servants, that is." He says this with annoyance rather than to brag about his family's wealth.

"You don't look like you're from around here. Are you from France? Savoy? The Holy Roman Empire? OOH!! I'll bet you've been to the New World, have you?! Or you've been to Egypt! Or China!! Have you? Where have you gone?!" Kid, no.

@expvrgction sent:

It appears that someone has left an item at Erwin's doorstep. By the time he opens it on his way out, he would find an unusually large chunk of what could only be called a gemstone. It was blue in color and had a crystal-like consistency, and yet... It looked nearly nothing like any precious stones found within any walled-off territory, let alone of this world. And there was a mark carved on it. Well, as long as this thing wasn't causing any significant harm, but who the hell sent this? It would have helped if it had any indicator of the sender and who would receive it. If he tried to look for the sender, they would be already gone from view. Weird. (kahann sending random items to someone to see their reaction? who knew? this time it's erwin, lol)

" Commander Erwin--! We found this outside...! " Many Scouts were left in awe at this odd Iceburst-like crystal that lingered at the doorstep of the Scouts HQ. Tensions had been quick to heighten at the sight of it-- and whatever it was, the Scouts couldn't tell if it was a gift or a possible item that could completely destroy them. After all sorts of dealings with the Military Police, their Interior forces and everything that led to Historia's coronation-- they were very much on edge.

Erwin's head tilted down as he stared at the crystal, brows slowly beginning to crease in concern-- he could already hear Hange's excitement about it. This wasn't anything like what they'd ever seen before-- and as such, it must be treated with absolute caution.

" Wear protective equipment and escort it to the Research grounds. Section-Commander Hange, I expect you'll be prepared to study it, but I order that you exercise caution. We don't know what this is just yet... "
