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?

"Not how you planned?!" He splutters. "Were you going to tell me?!" He's a little worked up. If he were thinking rationally, he wouldn't have expected to be told. But still.

"I do not know..." He ran his fingers through his hair. "It's not an intentional deception - that name of mine is a troublesome one, either it gets flagged as an 'obvious false name', or attracts the wrong sort of attention. I do have a habit of sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, and that is the kind of thing that gets one enemies."

... was everything real? No, no, he asked that before and the answer was don't be stupid, of course not.
"So the whole detective thing with the hat and the crime-solving in London stuff. That was you?"
no subject
"But yes, otherwise - that is right, though there are things Watson and I had left out as so not to frighten or upset the Victorian public - they are a delicate lot as a rule... never thought his accounts had such lasting power."

He lets out a breath through his teeth, running his hand through his hair.
"Ay... well..." This is a lot. But Arthur-- Sherlock-- knew it was a lot. It's time to get it together.
"...do you prefer to be called Sherlock or Arthur?"

He walks closer and holds out his hand to shake. "Mucho Gusto, Sherlock Holmes."
