What You Take With You part II: Reflections In The Fog
Who: All those on the What You Take With You mission and everyone else (who OOCly wishes to join in)
What: An important artifact is brought back only to immedaitely activate. Further details are here.
When: November 10th
Where: Daybreak Campus and around Soliel
Warning: Warn in headers as appropriate
On November 10th the recovery team sent into the Outlands makes their return with the obsidian mirror. Thus far it hasn't seemed any different than any other obsidian mirror, nothing spectacular about it beyond its age and where it came from. But Daybreak was only called to retrieve it, not anything more. The spell is worked to open the path between the Outlands and Daybreak, allowing them back. But as this happens, the mists rise up as they often do when the two worlds intersect. The team might even see it ghosting over the mirror before catching their own reflections in it. A light flashes over its surface and in that instant, the mirror activates.
Just one look in any reflective surface throughout Soliel-- a mirror, a window, a bit still water-- and people will be struck with sudden dizziness, a feeling of being knocked back, and then darkness. You'll find, on waking, a dark and desolate landscape full of smoke and fog. It'll be hard to tell where one is going. You won't be alone. People all over the academy have been brought into this vision. You may run into them, but even more likely, you'll run into the spots of color that cut through the fog.
And dwelling with this color? Why it's you. But better. Or maybe, much, much worse. It seems the mirror has something to show you. But is that something a promise? Or a threat...? Learn its lesson and you may escape both the shadowy realm and a terrible fate in your future. What image will you leave on the world?

[ He fumbles with the smooth, featureless mask; it drops into his hand easily.
It's not that bad to look at outright, all things considered. Most of his face is in shadow, covered by white hair and a dark hood. The worst is hidden by bandages (though what's under those bandages are probably subjects best left unexplored). They cross his face, fit snugly over his eyes, hiding them from view.
The scars spread out from them like cracking glass. ]
Perhaps it's better. Probably worse.
It's never not been worse. Perhaps before, but not now.

That's a super specific answer, and not vaguely disturbing at all.
[Oh, sweet sweet sarcasm. Where would she be without you, in these trying times?]
[Trying not to let on that she's increasingly worried about Ekkehardt, mostly. She doesn't... quite think this is him, not really, but it might be a part of him, like that child from the dream was.]
[Not nearly as happy a part, though. And she can't think it's a good sign, that it's out here walking.]
You wanna explain the part that's probably worse, or do I just guess here?
no subject
I can't.
[ He puts his mask back on without really answering the question.
It doesn't really muffle his voice much. ]
I don't...want to speak of it. Can't speak of it. I'll be back there if I do. It gives it life. Power.
no subject
Yeah, okay.
You wanna talk about something else? How 'bout the outfit- that's a different color scheme for you, ain't it?
