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?

[spider people are weird man]

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.

If it's as you say, then this mirror is the cause of our troubles. [ Would breaking it fix it? Or...is this something else? ]

Something that shouldn't exist? [ Worrying! She sounds a bit more intense now. ]

[He's not against breaking the mirror, but also he's pretty sure they're not supposed to break the mirror. They had to negotiate for it and everything.

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.
