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?

[The person who steps out of the fog is... wait, who the hell is this guy?
Well, whoever he is, he'll nod as he approaches.]
... Are you lost here as well?
B - "But a trainwreck is a trainwreck..."
[Elsewhere is the very recognizable form of V, but he's... oddly even more restrained than the version other people might be used to seeing. If he does notice anyone--it's honestly something questionable as to whether or not he does--he doesn't address anyone and keeps moving.]
C - "Nobody really knows the nuances of what you get up to in your spare time..."
[Wildcard. Get your real V right here!!]
look you knew this was happening okay (A)
She almost moves to create some distance when she notices that she's being approached herself, but she stops when she realizes that the person approaching is familiar in a way she would not have expected.
Could this be the same person or is this some strange coincidence? There's one way to find out.]
...Vergil?
Yes, I...think I am.
no subject
[There's a warm look in his eyes when he realizes who he's run into--one she's likely seen on V at least a few times.]
I'm afraid that makes the two of us... It's a relief to see you unharmed.
no subject
I've been taking care not to put myself in danger. I could defend myself if need be, but against my classmates or teachers? I would really rather not, so I've been trying to keep away, to not put myself—or them—at risk.
I haven't seen anything that would look like it could be a way out, so I'm almost wondering if this is anything like before. [The day the entire school slept, she's referring to, essentially suggesting the possibility that everyone here is simply here until whatever has caused this to happen is done.]
no subject
[He nods and steps a bit closer.]
I'm afraid I couldn't tell you what kind of place this is, this is nothing that I can recognize from any of my studies. Probably ought to correct that, honestly.
no subject
Whatever it is, being here seems to affect everyone differently, so maybe if we could find some sort of similarities between some of the others that are here, we might be able to figure out what this place is.
As for what brought us here or how, I'm not sure.
[She sees no reason not to let him come closer. The boy she saw in the dreams had been nice, V himself has been nothing but friendly to her thus far, and Vergil here doesn't seem terribly different from either of them aside from...being...Vergil...
Hm.
Recalling something V had told her, Vergil, or at least the Vergil she's aware of...doesn't quite exist right now, does he?]
Ah, may...I ask you a question? I'm afraid it might be a bit of a strange one, though.
no subject
Go right ahead.

It's an effect of this place, I'm fairly certain... based on what I've observed so far... I think I am the 'ideal' for what V can become. Unfortunately, that's the part of all this that I'm less certain of.
no subject
Some of the others that she'd caught glimpses of had also appeared to be much better off compared to their normal themselves, but then there were those who seemed so much worse.]
You think this place might be showing us what we could be, then? [Though he did also express that he wasn't completely sure.]
