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 has to giggle, surprised as he is by both the moxie and at how honestly tickled he is. This one was funny! It wasn't often he found funny ones. Mostly just...noisy. The sound of screaming was beautiful and all, but variety is the spice of life! Which is why he's pretty sure he needs another taste of Therion and his oddly charged blood.]

That's cute. You came up with that pretty fast.

[He doesn't seem put off by the knives or defensive stance. The only thing off about how he's speaking to Therion is that he doesn't have that constant motion a child should have. He's unmoving, somehow even as he tips his head in a nod of acknowledgement and offers a smile.]

I think you're wrong, though... You seem like lots of fun! And I like to play with my food. I think you'll be perfect.

[Aaaand here he comes. Tag, you're it?]

[Therion's fast, but he's not vampire fast. Still, it's enough to keep him just out of reach, just out of grasp, combined with his gift; he's always just enough to the side that he can blink through Ricky's fingers. In this place, the fog is more his friend than anyone else's.

But he can't keep it up forever. Eventually, Ricky's too close, and Therion only has an instant to block his face and throat with his right arm, sacrificing it to Ricky's fangs.

...Though, if Ricky does bite down, he's going to chomp straight into a metal, rune-inscribed shackle he's been hiding under his hoodie's sleeve.

And at the same time, he flips the knife in his left hand into a hammer grip and jabs sideways, in towards Ricky's knee, just as flame from nowhere leaps to life along the blade.]
