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?

"Oh, it's nothing. Just reminded me of court, that's all." He glances over at Ekkehardt slyly. "The boring one, that is."

He makes an amused noise in return. Well, this is a bit more interesting than just exchanging pleasantries. "Is that so? I suppose being bothered by people with more money and traditions than common sense is universal.

It's not your preferred sort of gathering, I take it? If not, then what do you prefer?"

"A good book," he says, punctuating the statement with a little nod. "And a warm fire. But I'll happily take the court of law as well."

His brown eyes practically sparkle with intensity. "It's like a grand game of chess, out-strategizing and outwitting your opponent at every turn. There are some boring cases out there, but when you get a good one? It gets your blood pumping like nothing else."
