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?

[It becomes even stranger when the boy smiles a little at Héctor, for the very first time. Could be the very last too, the one and only chance he'll see it. The hawk-Tobias doesn't remember how.

He's just glad to see an adult, period. An adult who knows his name is surely here to lead him out of this mess, right?]


That's me. I'm, uh, lost. I guess someone sent you to look for me?

[Only in a fantasy would that ever happen.]

[The smile fades, washed away by confusion. What an honest, expressive face he has. Everything there to be seen, nothing hidden away.

So he's found himself lost in inexplicable mist and some weird stranger is the first to find him. Well, he seems like a friendly kook... and it's never the strange that scares him most, is it? He's so backwards.]


Sorry, I don't know what you mean by roommate...?
