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?

... That makes the both of us, really.

[He pauses, thinking it over.]

Would you mind if I stayed close? We could look for a way out together, if you'd like.

W-with you? [He still sounds scared, but also maybe just the slightest, vaguest hint of insulted. Embarrassed to get help from a human he didn't know, let alone actually needing it. After all, he had absolutely no reason to trust him.]

[However, they were both completely stuck in this darkness, weren't they?]
...

And you won't hurt me?

[personal profile] ofexperience 2019-11-17 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
I swear it on my life.

[... Okay, he is a little amused at the slight hint of being insulted. It's fair and he knows the feeling. There was a time he would've died before accepting help.]
trademark_skull: (Full on intimidation)

[Unfortunately, Emizel did not want to die either. So he apparently had to do this, by moving closer. Though keeping just enough distance, just in case.]

I-I guess..I guess I can do this for a little while.

[He nods, moving to stand--slowly--picking up his cane as he does.]

... You may call me V. What is your name, little one?
trademark_skull: (Or maybe not)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2019-11-17 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He had to use a cane? Come to think of it, why was he so afraid of him? This was a strange daemon hunter...]

It's Emizel.

[V offers a gentle smile as he starts walking.]

The circumstances could be better, but... pleased to make your acquaintance, Emizel.
trademark_skull: (Not this again)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2019-11-17 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[V was actually happy to have met him? Well, he shouldn't. He's doing with the son of a very powerful daemon here!]

[...And he doesn't seem to be at any more ease with that. Just nervous, sad, and confused, and looking down.]
...I don't even remember how I got here.

[Just to answer more to the current circumstance not being great.]
ofexperience: (The Sick Rose)

[personal profile] ofexperience 2019-11-17 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[... If anything, he'll probably be more impressed than fearful... But so it goes when you're half the son* of a powerful daemon yourself.

(*It's complicated.)

He frowns a bit, thinking.]


Do you remember what you were doing before?
trademark_skull: (Disappoint)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2019-11-17 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. [He does remember getting separated in a skirmish a few days ago, and was trying to make it back to the Outlands. It was only because of one very certain daemon that he probably made it out of there at all, although now, he can't find him either. Definitely not here. As usual, Emizel could not do even the simplest of things right.]

...Why do you want to help me?
ofexperience: (The Mental Traveller)

[personal profile] ofexperience 2019-12-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[That does make things a little more difficult, but they'll figure out something.]

Because it's the right thing to do.

[... He's almost certain it's what Eva would have done.]
