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?

"Your... mom?" She's not sure whether to be flattered or offended here. She's not nearly old enough to be the mother of a boy his age, but it doesn't exactly sound like he's saying it like a bad thing, either. Maybe his mother is pretty. She's going to choose to believe that's what he means, and just not ask him if she's right.

He offers his hand, and she reaches out to take it with her own, shaking it firmly. "It's nice to meet you, too! But uh, not really? No nicknames here." At least, not any that she wanted to share. That hollow boy had called her Quincy a lot, but she's not going to subject herself to hearing that from this boy, too.

"You can make one up, if you want! I don't mind."

Oh, she's right. She's definitely right. But he's still not the sort to be sorry for calling someone old.

Once they've shaken hands, he withdraws his to tuck back into the pocket of his jeans. He makes a face as he looks up, trying to think. He was never very good with names. Or faces. Names and faces.

"Dorothy is that wizard of oz girl, right? The one who gets lost? You can be Dorothy," He says.

There's a long period of silence. She blinks.

"Nevermind!" she replies with forced cheerfulness. "I do mind. Nickname privileges revoked." There's no way she's letting him call her something so silly. She would take "Quincy" over that.

"How about my handle at school? Himawari? Or maybe just Saki? Or Hana? Flowers are pretty cool." It wouldn't be the worst thing to have as a nickname. Her name is related to flowers anyway, so it's not too much or a change.

"Wha--?!"

He splutters a little as his naming suggestion is outright denied. His expression quickly turns huffy, arms folding.

"Sure, Hana then," He grumbles.

She hears that grumbling, and she crosses her arms over her chest. The look she gives him is a little jabbing, but not without a smile. A smirk even. "What, did you really think I was going to let you pick such a silly name? You didn't even try, did you?"

"Hey, I tried!" He protests. "I could've called you Mo or something, you know!"

His face is flushing a little with embarrassment. All while he continues to huff and puff.

"Whatever! Lets just find the way out! Or your creepy doppleganger!"
