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?

No. [ She turns her hand over to reveal the underside of her arm, where three nearly-indistinguishable slits in her natural armor mark where her silk can be spun out. ] Other spiders can do that, but not I.
[ To her credit, she doesn't seem remotely fazed by the question. ]
no subject
Maverick is visibly both relieved and weirded out. Extremely grateful he's not covered in ass silk, that's definitely great, but confirmation on this coming from inside Hornet at all is kinda gross. Necessary, but gross. Oh well. His fault for asking.]
Uh. Th...thanks. I can heal other people, but not -- not myself. This shut doesn't happen. I don't really...know what the fuck happened, is happening.
no subject
Actually no that's possibly more gross.]I remember seeing my reflection in a window. Then fog came down, and I woke in this place.
Was it the same for you?
no subject
Huh?
[When she says that, he frowns and thinks back. He'd been so focused on the vampiric child situation, he'd forgotten all about...]
I, uh... We were bringing this fucking mirror back from the Outlands, but it started acting weird from the Mist, I guess... I think I passed out. [It's a similar enough circumstance. Just a little more literal.] I haven't seen anyone else from the team that went, though. Just...something that shouldn't fucking exist.
no subject
Something that shouldn't exist? [ Worrying! She sounds a bit more intense now. ]
no subject
Maverick grimaces, glaring down at the bandage. Everything was a mess of negative emotions, and trying to find words... It was tough. He's not going to let those things take his voice again though, not if he can do anything about it. Fuck that. So.
...So.
...]
I dunno. It fucking looked like me, but a kid. That's what bit me.
