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?

[She has other priorities, man.
... She glances over at her Akechi before just... quietly winding her arm around his. She's right here.]
no subject
Well, why don't you ask him for the answer? After all, he's known all along.
...
no subject
She's no idiot. She can put the pieces together based on that waver of fear and the other Akechi's words. She closes her eyes, sighing. She drops her voice low as she murmurs to the Akechi at her side--]
Only if you want to, Akechi...
[Her arm winds tighter around his.]
no subject
[There's something...defeated in his tone. As though he's signing his own warrant, but can't think of a way out.]
Finally realized you can't get away with it forever?
no subject
She turns towards the other Akechi, eyeing him with some measure of disdain.]
And you think I'm just gonna turn against him, just like that? Screw that. Screw you.
[And she just flips him off with her free hand.]
The full situation matters more to me than just words.
no subject
It's what everyone did to me! Fuck the full situation! All they gave a shit about is that they'd caught me fucking someone up, and so whatever I said was full of shit!
He...has a point. You're willing to believe me, even though I've lied about this?
no subject
[She's not bringing the Bloodworth thing up in front of this other Akechi.]
... Plus, I think the situation's different enough between you and this other guy.
[Sidelong glance.]
no subject
...I did leave out part of my motivation for helping. The person who sent me here is the founder of the Rising Sun Coalition. Solving your problem wound be a thorn in his side, and I've been plotting to bring him down for years.
no subject
[... Is she just ignoring the other Akechi now?]
And I'm all for causing as much trouble for that guy if he's in league with my guy.
no subject
Don't you fucking ignore me!
no subject
Count me in for the long haul, then. We can talk over more of the whole... thing when we're not stuck like this, yeah?
[She just squeezes his arm gently. She's not going anywhere.
She glances at the other Akechi.]
Contribute something actually helpful and I'll consider it. As things stand now, I just think you're envious that this one actually does have people willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
no subject
I...do have to wonder that, myself.
no subject
[Glancing at the other Akechi.]
You got caught, right?
no subject
Wait...that daemon?
no subject
She's just looking between the two for a few moments.]
Mm, Akechi... how are you handling this whole situation again? Since clearly you didn't get caught...
no subject
Why the hell would I tell you? He's my only ally anymore.
no subject
Why do I get the sense we're gonna find out anyway, one way or another and we're not gonna like it when we do...
[Also she has a bad feeling about this. But... hmmm. Some things to think on.]
no subject
So what if it does?
no subject
Well.]
Akechi, I don't think we're gonna get much of anywhere from here. We should go.
no subject
no subject
[Lia he's standing RIGHT THERE]
no subject
If you want to die, feel free.
no subject
[LIA????
... There's a pause before she leans just a bit closer and keeps her voice quiet--]
Could always see if we can sic that weird vampire me on him.
no subject
But what if that just turns him into a vampire, too?
