The Lost Temple is located at the outer reaches of Wonderland, accessible only by using the Pocket Card when the level requirement has been reached.
The temple itself is located on a floating island covered entirely in water. There is grand staircase that leads up, into the temple itself, which is paved with a fountain leading outside. At the far end is an orb.
[Lost temple requirements: ]: - Players must hit level 25 - Players must have fought and completed at LEAST one battle in the battlezone - Players must have completed at LEAST one side quest in any of the zones.
The promotion part itself is simple. A player must simply walk through the pool of water to the orb at the end. Touching the orb will activate the job class promotion.
OOC: GETTING TO THE ORB
As you wade into the water to get to the exit on the other end, you fantasize yourself with more power. The room begins to blur and a scene fills in around you. It is you as the most powerful.
Just respond to the prompt above, in 200 words is fine. What does power mean to your character? Is it actual tangible power, is it to own something, or someone, is it wisdom, wealth, to rule a nation, or just something more simple and ordinary? Write a little about it and then when you are done proceed to the post below and pick out your character's job class. As your character reaches the end the scenario fades away and they find themselves at the orb

A sudden whirring and beeping caught NotAllan off her guard. "Oy? What's this?" She soon found the source of the noise to be her pocket card. When she looked up, everyone else's seemed to be making the same noise. "I think ... we're being summoned."
When she pressed a button on the card, a grand temple opened up before her. Water floated around an enormous staircase, which NotAllan began painstakingly climbing. "Why couldn't they have built an elevator? Why is it always stairs? ******** you, ALICE. This is limiting my satisfaction."
Nonetheless, she eventually climbed to the top, where a fountain sat with an enormous orb. If there was one thing she knew about games, it was that orbs were either doomsday devices, or magic shiny power ups. She was going to assume this was the latter, because the room was too pretty to be evil.
She waded into the water, and a strange sensation filled her mind. The tingling grew stronger and stronger, until eventually the room went dark.
---
"OY. Send in more trainees. I'm sorry did your ******** division commander stutter? SEND IN MORE TRAINEES." Her boots stuck firmly to the bottom of a desk, where she had placed them in relaxed laziness. She didn't move a finger for these people. They were, in essence, her bitches.
"Anything you need?" Her cousin, groveling at her side as her assistant. Assistant was never more fitting.
"Man, shut the ******** up Chris." It was delusioned satisfaction. Utter madness. "So sick of your goddamned voice."
He said nothing. "Tomorrow we move in on space, got it?" They had long since erradicated Halloween and the wretched Horsemen, thanks to her brilliant command. " ---
When had she arrived here, with her hands placed so gently on the orb? NotAllan couldn't remember. Was that a dream? Real?
The future?
Holy s**t she hoped so.

His pocket card was beeping.
He'd been using audio commands for so long, he almost forgot it was there. When he realized it wasn't going to do things for him, he picked the card out and took a look at it. Chel was right, something was going on. The Pocket Card made it simple - just click here, Robert. Click, and be transported to the temple.
Click.
There was a familiar sense of 'trying to be majestic' that the temple exhuded; like an important part of a moment, swelling with music and outlandish scenery in order to engulf the watcher. Robert stared up at the giant pillars, hearing that same sort of music quietly throbbing in his head. Hero music, he thought to himself. Only in Wonderland.
He walked up the stairs, and jumped messily into the fountain. Were those dolphins, or was there something in the water ******** with his mind? Probably the latter, he informed himself, as they all melted away in place of a very simple sight.
Him. Only stronger. More powerful. And more unhinged. He smiled, and the sight of him grinned. They could have been friends, he and his more powerful twin. If only.
He swam towards himself, and realized there was blood in the water. It was coming from his twins hands, as he washed them clean. It wasn't his own.
He let out a feral roar. The real Robert waded right through this sound, and this scene, until the twin and its voice dissipated into the wind. All that was left, was the orb. It was so simple. So obvious. Touch it, and become unhinged.
He touched it. The world stayed the same around him. He was just more than a mad hatter, now. He was an Insane Mad Hatter.
She would be so proud.

The girl jumped upon suddenly hearing her pocket card go off, eyes growing round as she scrambled to retrieve it. Upon drawing it out, she realized that she was not the only one with a beeping card, her gaze lifting up to look at NotAllan. "So it seems," She agreed, her expression betraying her uneasiness, "Shall we go check it out?"
The last thing she expected to see upon being transported was a temple, but she stood there blankly for a moment as she took in the scenery. It was, she had to admit, rather beautiful...if not a little unfortunate that they had been transported to the base of the stairs. Making a bit of a face, Nightbloom proceeded to make her way up, hesitating at the pool of water before gingerly stepping into it. As she made her way across, the girl noted that her mind was clouding, her vision wavering--
Part of the reason she so enjoyed owning a cafe was because of the students that came. She'd find herself staring at them with a hint of nostalgia as they chattered amongst themselves about the professors--many of whose names she recognized--and of their friends and school work.
But what she liked the best was when they'd come and chat with her, asking her for advice or simply request that she listen to her woes. It was times like that that made her feel the most pleased. It was powerful knowing that these students trusted her enough to share with her their stories...
And then Nightbloom abruptly snapped out of it. Blinking rapidly, she realized that she was in front of an orb, and gingerly reached out to touch it.

Upon getting the notification, Shadowstep went on and went to the temple, just as the others had. He blinked as he saw the pool of water before the temple and more notably, the orb at its center. Slowly, he began to make his way through the water towards the orb.
Power...
Power...
It meant a lot of different things to a lot of people. He was aware it held different meaning from person to person. For himself.. his own prowess in battle. The strength to be able to overcome anything that dared to threaten either himself or those he cared about. After all, what good was power if you couldn't keep what mattered to you safe? Without them...
He closed his good eye at the thought. No. This was why he constantly strove to better himself. Before Amity, it was just strength for the sake of it. But he had more reason to fight now. That was why he was here, wasn't it? Not necessarily this temple specifically, but this.. dream. Game. He wasn't playing it. He was fighting for survival. For whatever was keeping them in this place. He didn't know where they were right now. They could be in this game with him, or perhaps something else was going on. There was no way for him tell.
Too many unanswered questions.
Letting out a sigh, he reached out and touched the orb.

The Pocket card had started beeping just as she completed the dungeon run. Strange, it never did that before. Retrieving the card from her pocket, the ghoul peered curiously at the instructions to go to The Lost Temple. Where was that -
A click of the button had miraculously transported her there. The temple certainly looked more beautiful in comparison to the dark woods she had been travelling around in for the past five days. Her eyes traced the path of the pool that bisected the temple, leading her gaze onto the orb that lay ahead. Was she supposed to retrieve it?
Seeing no other option to get to the orb's location, the ghoul entered the pool of water, wading through it. She wasn't experiencing the same buoyancy she would have in the actual world, which did make her job a little easier. Something funny was in the water though -
- - -
Madame, the man bowed, kissing her back of her hand gently. He stepped back and joined the rest of the crowd that gathered in the room - all of them of high status and richly tailored clothes. It was a gathering of the aristocrats, having convened to celebrate...her birthday? Since when did something so trivial call for such high regard?
Was this what it meant to be powerful...? The ghoul pondered upon this quietly, unconsciously swirling the glass of fine wine in her hand.
- - -
She blinked, and there was water around her again. What a strange daydream, she wondered, finally crossing the pool and emerging from it. The orb glowed brightly as she extended her hand to touch it. A more elaborate coat appeared on her, replacing the one that was wet. All her cards had disappeared to form a giant scimitar ... one that was certainly a bit more wieldy than the polearm she had before.
Was this a power up in this game? She supposed it mattered a little more than she would have normally regarded it. Whatever it takes to complete this game worked for her right now.

Dotdotdot had been drifting between sleep and consciousness for a while now, until she heard her pocket card going off. Jerking violently awake, she noticed several others getting notifications as well and they were heading there as well. With a quick click of the pocket card, she was whisked away to a temple.
The first thing she noticed was the place was FLOODED with water. Maybe someone forgot to turn off the faucet at the temple? Or maybe it was supposed to be like that. At least, the plants growing around the temple seemed to say so. She spotted the floating orb and was fairly sure she was supposed to wade through all the water, as much as she hated to, and reach it. Dotdotdot wanted the job advancement fairly badly, so she took a deep breath and trudged.
Very soon after, she stopped paying attention to the water. In fact, she stopped paying attention to the amazing architecture of the temple and everything around her as well, because while she was wading, the thought of power came to mind. With power, she would be able to have full control over herself, and she wouldn't harm anyone anymore. And then she could approach people with ease, and form friends much more easily. To her, that was power.
She reached the orb and touched it, and she could almost feel the power seeping through her body...

the0racle was rather surprised to have her Pocket Card beeping at her after she completed some silly sidequest. Pulling it out of her pocket, she examined the card and realized that she could now access the Lost Temple. Eagerly, she had left whatever task she had assigned to herself previously behind, and made her way to the Lost Temple. It wasn't quite easy to get to, but the0racle seemed perfectly unfazed by the ascent up the stairs to a floating island.
The only thing that seemed to make her pause was when she slipped into the pool of water, creating gentle waves and a small wake in her path. Suddenly, she was thinking of what a new job class meant. The power in this game would be amazing! Think of all the things she could accomplish, and how much use she would finally be to her guild. She knew she was always a little behind, but she didn't think she was actually detrimental to Penumbra. Now, if she upped her class, she definitely wouldn't be a hindrance! She'd be actual aid, useful for more than just kill stealing!
Ah, if only she could have this power in real life. It would have solved a few things for her. She'd have never had to go to school, and likely wouldn't be here now. All the things she could've predicted, all the things she could have changed. Once upon a time, her powers had been fairly potent, but she had lost touch with them over time. Drugs had clogged her mind, and even when her mind was clear, she couldn't get back that same potency her visions usually carried. Some of them weren't even true, what she saw now. If only she could get all that back. She'd be the most powerful oracle! Her circle would accept her back with open arms, not that she would have wanted them. With enough power she could do her own thing, be independent, be worth something on her own.
She had to get stronger. the0racle waded through the water, reaching out with bright eyes to touch the orb and activate her job class promotion. [ JOB CLASS PROMOTION CARDS: Interference and Greater Support ]

They paused in their tracks. Something was…Oh right! Taking the pocket card out from their…pocket, DEDfeesh stared at the contraption to see what was happening. Oh, a temple? Interesting, their next destination! Skipping all the way to the floating temple, they couldn’t help but be in awe of its structure. How does it work? A question that could be answer at another point in time, but for now, it’s time to see what it wants with them.
Walking up the steps, the room suddenly blurred and a question suddenly sparkled in their mind: What is power?
Power…Power was like their mother. The head of the family and keeping an eye on everything that is occurring within range of their power. They must take care of the people around them, and keep everyone safe. Power means to be able to not back down from the scariest things, but instead become the protector. There’s no need to use that power for external gains…not unless it has some effect on the people they have vowed to protect. The ability to decide and to know what to do was power in their minds. And that’s probably why they had always thought of their mother as someone powerful…
As they got to the end of the room, the scenarios begun to fade and instead, all that was left was a glowing orb. They reached for the orb.

Sealed was getting annoyed by the beeping of her Pocket Card.
At first, she had ignored it, but it constantly did so after each battle, and she finally decided to pull it out to check it. The Lost Temple, huh? Fine, she would check it out, if only to shut this stupid card up.
Upon reaching her destination, she had to admit that it actually did look nice. It wasn't filled with colorful garish colors and strange monsters like the areas she had explored before. The sound of water gushing from the fountain soothed her, as it always had. Having so much water all around her always gave her a peace of mind.
With her first step into the water, she found herself watching the calm surface ripple, a small smile flickering on her face. Making her way towards the orb, Sealed wondered if she could simply just stay here forever. Of course, this idea was quickly negated, especially with the thought that others would soon trickle in as they too reached the designated level.
With this thought brushed away, she found another blossoming in her mind. What would this power up be like? Would she be granted with more lethal attack skills to cut her way through enemies?
The room started to blur around her and a vision shimmered into existence. She was dressed in silvery robes and furs, upon a throne of ice. She was blue-eyed, blond, and whole once more. She was at her peak and she would destroy anyone who dared look down on her, look down on any of her kind.
If only.
She reached the orbs and closed her hands around it.

After reaching level 25, a new icon appears on his Pocket Card. When he presses it, his stomach lurches and he finds himself transported to a new location. When he looks around, he's not sure they're still in Wonderland. He's on a small floating island. Heights don't bother him, but it's disconcerting to see clouds below and not a hint of land. He might be above Tulgey Woods, he might be half a (dream-game) world away.
There's only one possible location on the island. The giant set of stairs leading up to are a pretty big giveaway. Figuring there's not much point fighting the expected route, he makes his way up the stairs.
At the far end of the temple is a pedestal with an orb resting in it. He knows that's his destination. The only way there is to walk through a large pool of water.
He sighs. There's no choice, really. He wades forward into the water. It should be harder to walk through water than on land, but as he wades deeper, he feels stronger. The temple fades to white around him.
A once clear plain is now pockmarked from battle. Debris is scattered haphazardly, fragments of blood-stained cloth or worse trapped underneath. It looks like a rain of meteors struck here - that can be the official release, he thinks idly.
He pets Azrael, sheathed at his side, while taking in the scene. It had been a long and hard battle, but a good fight - for them. For their enemies, not so much.
His second in command is stealthy, but he can feel the prickle on his neck that signals someone's eyes on him. "Any casualties?" he asks before his second can speak.
There's a swish of fabric and a soft thump. Standing at attention, as though they're the one who was in the army, not Davey.
"All civilians evacuated in time, Captain. No casualties or injuries among their number."
"And among our own?"
"No confirmed casualties. Nineteen percent of our forces will be out of action for at least a month. Eight percent will require significant and ongoing attention or rehabilitation. Twenty-two percent have minor injuries but could fight tomorrow if an attack was launched."
No," Davey says, "I don't think there'll be another attack. Not for a while."
Periods of time between assaults have grown longer and longer. It's obvious that Halloweentown just doesn't have the forces to send anymore. If they have a population left, they're learning to keep to themselves. That's fine - for now. Until the Hunters find a way in.
"You'll be up for a promotion for this." He can hear the smile in his second's voice. "Will you actually accept this one?"
"You know I prefer working in the field," Davey says. Paperwork would just take time away from the good he can do out here. It doesn't matter if he never becomes a Division Leader. He's never dreamed of running things from the top. He and his team are doing the hard work, and they're damn good at it.
~Is this what you wanted, Davey?~ Azrael asks, quiet and contemplative.
Yes, this is what he wants. This is the ultimate power - not to command, but to protect. Both civilians and his own people. This is all he needs.
The scene fades. Dreadpirate blinks and finds he is standing at the orb. Three options are presented. He picks out two and his vision fills with shimmering light. When it fades, he wears a fancier pirate outfit than before and the cards in his hand have transformed into a giant scimitar. He dismisses it.
'Royal Gryphon' his job class now reads in his stats. He wonders what happens to the other classes. Maybe he should meet up with some allies and fight out - and test this new power of his in battle.

sweetm00n had just finished blundering her way out of her newest quest when her pocket card sounded. Pulling it out, she blinked. "Job class up .. grade?" That sounded interesting! Selecting it, she suddenly found herself standing at one end of the temple. Hesitating for a moment, she climbed unsteadily off the landing and splashed into the water, reluctant to get her clothes wet. As she waded towards the orb, struggling a little with the heavy train of her jacket becoming waterlogged, she realized she wasn't wading through water anymore. She was on a stage. This wasn't like the nightmare she had experienced recently. The audience was still there, but they were all on their feet, cheering her, applauding her. Everyone was looking her way as she walked towards the orb, she was the center of the show. She was the center of the universe. No one would forget her, or look away, because how could you? Everyone loved her. Everyone admired her. After all she had done - there was no way that she would ever be anything but the best. It would be like forgetting where you lived, or who you were. She was ingrained into everything, everywhere, even if you turned away you were still looking at her. But of course you wouldn't because you loved her so much. She was surrounded, she was loved, and she was safe.
Blinking, sweetm00n's jaw opened as 'reality' realigned itself around her. Glancing around and turning a bit pink from embarrassment, she reached out and touched the orb, hoping no one else had seen that.

The instant RazerHead hit level 25, her pocket card started to beep. Still in a hateful mood after eating that macaron, she sneered at the icon indicating a new message. "Better not be Cap'n Dad again," she grumbled, though with less venom than earlier she was still testy. Finding it was from the game telling her of a promotion barely made her feel better. The lingering effects of the macaron was still there and she figured this was a good way to vent.
The moment she closed the message to accept travel, she was suddenly there at the temple. And oh greaaaat it was on air and there was no way out was there? Fan-freaking-tastic! Raze was on edge and she was still hating what should have been an awesome view. With no other option, she climbed up the stairs and now she had to get wet too? Loudly grumbling, she set about to wade through the water, noisily splashing and purposely disturbing the serene surface. But her mood starts to shift, the water seemed to be drawing out her hate, replacing it with other things, other concerns that were more important. Like...
Power
Joy was on a rollercoaster, the kind that sent you upside down and had more than two loop de loops. The wind whipped at her hair and amidst the screams all she could do was laugh. Her blood was pumping through her veins, her heart was beating a frantic stacatto, and adrenaline surged through her.
When she alighed from the rollercoaster, she was suddenly on her hot-pink bike, pedalling along a downhill slope, a helmet the only safety precaution she taken. The skirt of her black dress flared up behind her, but she wasn't flashing anyone thanks to the neon pink cycling shorts underneath. Her sponsor's logo spun round and round on the rims of her wheels. The crowd bursts into cheers when she hits the ramp and gains a glorious amount of air.
When she lands, she's on top of someone she can't recognize but instinctively knows she hates. She tastes copper in her mouth and realizes she has difficulty breathing with her broken nose. Blood from and a cut on her head oozes into her eye impairing her sense of depth but you didn't need depth when you were on the winning side of a ground-and-pound. She pulls her arm back and a blow from behind knocks her off and sends her flying like a rag doll.
When she spins in the air, claws tear at her skin. She's disoriented and confused and in pain. She flails and kicks and tries fighting back but there is nothing tangible for her to hit. Still the agony and terror seizes her, engulfs her, pouring into her until she finally bottoms out.
When she falls with breathless, bruising force, she manages to roll back on her feet. Her entire body feels like its on fire and looking down at the deep gouges she can't help but shiver in delight. Because she can still stand. because she can still fight. Because she can still go on.
Because Joy Lives.

The Pocket Card had alerted him that a new area was open to him, now that he'd reached level 25. The Lost Temple? Intriguing... PRESS HERE TO ACCESS, it blipped, and Uttam did just that. Who knew what would come of it? Preferably something good... maybe some of that free loot Hulk was always going on and on about. Maybe some decent attack cards...
He was transported to an island with a lone temple on it, and inside that temple a lone hall with a lone orb. He figured that he'd need to get to the orb to get whatever he was brought here for. A step into the water, and suddenly everything got blurry...

He stood over the bodies in the brown and crimson stained coats, unable to decipher if the sandstorm or his meteor hammer that had taken them down. An entire legion of the insects, squashed under his heels. Still, he needed to kill more of them, all of them. He had the power now, the strength to make them all bow in reverence. One swing of his weapon, and five were crushed. A roar and they fell. They would fear the stallion in crimson.
--
An excited sweat had built around his body as he snapped back to reality, eyes glowering with blood lust. He reached out, grabbing the orb as if it were some object that could bring him the power to eat the earth. A bright flash, and...
Well, if that wasn't damn spiffy. He felt more powerful, looked the part, and grinned maliciously. ALICE and her friends would die very, very soon.
