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?

Bright like a flame, Grimm had written. All of them.]
A nice kind of weirdo. I would have liked to meet him a little longer.
[Because Alderic belongs here. He's the past and the future and once Grimm agrees to the terms of leaving, he'll vanish. But that's okay. They'll meet again.]
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It's your choice.
[As always.]
no subject
I was alive, the first time I met him. Our second meeting was quite some time later, and I was no longer alive by then. [ It's a casual admission. ] He didn't know, at first, and he was rather concerned with my mental state when he found out.
[ He shrugs. ] So he has his reasons to be worried about my continued happiness, though I'd rather he'd have worried about himself a little more.
no subject
Yeah, I guess I can see why he'd be worried. [Finding out a friend died at some point would make him worried too.] Maybe I should tell him you're okay when we talk again.
[Because they're going to have to. Grimm gave Alderic time for reasons unknown, but with what he's learning about the guy he can guess why. Just to let him exist a little longer.]
