++++The Room++++

The Chain emerged from the portal into what seemed to be a narrow, cramped room covered floor and ceiling in dark glossy tiles filled with long mirrors covering the walls. A loud bassey rhythmic sound from somewhere very nearby made the walls shake. The lights were dim, and the mirrors vibrated to the sound making their reflections look clear for only a moment at a time and then blur in sync to the pulsing beat creating weird visual distortions. Four pressed his back to Time as the group made a small circle through the room.

"What kind of dungeon Is this…" He hissed through gritted teeth.

Time said nothing but made a low sound of acknowledgement in the back of his throat.

"Stay together..." Shouted Legend over the din "The portal brought us here for a reason. There's no telling what is lurking nearby! Be ready for Anything!"

The group nodded in agreement and held their various weapons at the ready.

Suddenly a shockingly loud 'Whooshing' sound echoed, erupting from their left from behind what appeared to be a false wall hidden by the low light and tricky mirrors. The men tensed as a shadow appeared on the wall rounding a corner coming towards them. Wild readied his bow and…

A creature with bright green hair and even greener skin in ragged pants came shuffling into sight. He had grotesquely monstrous giant fists and feet that gave the brute a misshapen silhouette. It was wearing a series of glowing (magic?) bands around its neck and wrists in a myriad of colors. As soon as it saw them it froze in its tracks, with a face looking as shocked as the chain! It seemed to be some kind of man!

He squinted at them and took a step forward, like he wasn't sure he was seeing what he was seeing. The group hadn't moved an inch. Suddenly the man broke into a wide grin and began to laugh causing the group to look at each other in confusion. "AW HELLS YEAH DUDES!" The man crowed in an unfamiliar accent. "I fuckin' LOVE Lord of the Rings! You guys look so epic!"

He shuffled closer to them on his giant green feet and made a 'gimme' motion to Wind who was nearest to him who in turn stepped back into a fighting stance, sword ready and eyes wide. This made the man seem to smile even bigger. He laughed, a loud jolly and somewhat drunken sound. He crouched down in front of the boy.

"How did you make your sword, little man? That's so tight! Is it foam-core? It looks so real! Ooh! Are you FRODO!? He was my favorite! I Fuckin' LOVE Frodo man.." The green man was right in his face eagerly bouncing on the balls of his giant feet. The unmistakable smell of beer and spirits wafted off of him. He didn't seem to be a threat.. or even entirely 'with it'.

Wind lowered his weapon and looked at the others in confusion who were also lowering but not sheathing their weapons. "N-no?" He said a little uneasily "I think you're looking for someone else.." The strange green man slumped a little looking immediately dejected.

"O-oh! T-that's alright, little man." He stepped back a little seemingly embarrassed. "My bad! I mean the other hobbits were all just as cool too! I can just never remember their names..." The teen looked over shoulder at his companions for guidance and seeing them sheathing their weapons, did so as well. The man laughed again good-naturedly. "H-Hey! What do you think of THIS!? HUH!? Check it!" He made a goofy wide-legged pose and smashed his giant fists together. They crumpled briefly at the impact as if they were stuffed with down and then somehow magically reformed looking as solid and intimidating as before. A series of tinny crashing sounds seemed to erupt from them and a loud voice cried "UURGH! HULK SMASH!" The man held his pose for effect and looked at the gang with hopeful eyes.

"That's…. something." Twilight stepped forward his head slightly cocked at the odd display.

That seemed to be all the man needed. He beamed with pride and a silly awkward drunken kind of machismo.

"HAH! Fuck YEAH it is! I'm So SO ready for the costume contest later! I came to win! HAH!"

He did a little preening shuffle in place and struck another even more ridiculous pose.

"Though..." He gave the group another once over. "I'm not as sure as I was before since y'all got here..." He paused for a moment but then laughed again "But I aint mad at it!" He gave them a deep, if somewhat wobbly bow and pressed a hand to his green chest. "Mad skills respect mad skills!"

Time and Wars both gave a slight bow back, in spite of themselves, out of an ingrained habit. Sky, Four, and Twilight all seemed to give a curt nod. The others simply watched. "WHEEELP!" The man used his ridiculous giant fake fists to smooth back his stiff green hair as he made for a previously un-noticed door. "Back into the Fray! Them ladies ain't gonna woo themselves, yeah?" He pushed gently on the door. It swung outward easily, and he shuffled happily through it trailing behind him what seemed to be a very long ribbon of thin paper stuck on one giant (now presumably fake?) foot. As the door opened a stream of pulsing multicolored lights briefly shafted into the room along with a louder version of the rhythmic sound that rattled their bones. When the door settled. The din was once again muffled to a tolerable level.

"Hmn.. Strange fellow." Hyrule said, watching him go. He turned back to his companions. "What's the plan now?"

Time looked to be deep in though for a moment. "….Let's go check it out.."

A wide grin suddenly appeared on Wars face. His eyes sparkled as he adjusted his scarf and ran his fingers through his fringe. "Didn't that guy mention.. 'Ladies'?"
