Event: The Reveal Glass

[indigo_league]

Across the Pokémon world, characters may have spotted a falling star last night. Or at least, one would think that's what it was: a naturally occurring phenomenon, rather than a legendary artifact. Specifically, the Reveal Glass fell to earth during a fight among a group of legendaries started by the return of a long-lost family member. But it's probably best to leave them to handle all that themselves, while your characters deal with other consequences.

The Reveal Glass shattered upon impact, and the shards scattered throughout Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands… And made their way into the hearts of your characters. But bleeding isn't the concern here. Instead, the impact will hit when a character first looks into any reflective service. An eerie feeling hits them as they're transported to the Mirror Dimension.

While this realm can be many different things for different characters, one thing is always true: It is a place of honesty, where true selves are revealed. Those struck by a shard will find themselves facing truths they are no longer able to hide, and now must accept. Fortunately enough, even those who haven't been struck will be able to enter the Mirror Dimension during this event via a reflective surface to offer help. By the end of the 29th, things will return to normal. Characters will be back in the usual Pokémon world and their hearts will be rid of the shards, but time is strange in the Mirror Dimension, and the experience may feel like it goes on far longer than a day. Or, maybe that's just the emotional exhaustion.

The Reveal Glass plot is here. You can swing by the event info post for additional details and FAQ, and play out your characters’ enforced therapy on this post. As with most VR events, this plot is entirely optional and your characters don't need to take part at all.

[The mask can't actually stop smiling, but Ryan does tilt his head in a way that shows he's a little baffled himself by this reaction. Huh? What? Why all this?]

But...you're here! And I'm supposed to perform for everybody! Sooooo, that makes you my audience tonight, right?

[That makes the most sense to him.]

Plus I could totally play what I was playing before, if you wanna hear that! [He shrugs! Up to you, little stranger!] It's not mine anyway, just a little something I was practicing with for kicks!

[soupguy]

No, but... [Boober sputters a moment.] It's not just that!

You seemed so sad before. [He scoffs.] I know most people don't like gloom like I do, but I mean... All this? It's too much, especially so fast.

[chickenchoicejudy]

Pfft! No one wants to see sad on stage! It would just bum everyone out and bring them all down!

[The "everyone" here is kind of unclear - there's still literally no one here but Ryan and Boober.]

Besides, who cares how fast it happens if it gets the job done, right? So I was a little mopey for a sec, it happens~! That's aaaaall in the past now! I'm totally fine!

[soupguy]

Wh- I... What do you even mean, it gets the job done? I know moping happens, I do it all the time! But why wouldn't you just... be mopey? You know, sometimes, people overlook that getting bummed out has its place!

[chickenchoicejudy]

[They seem to be not just on different pages, but in two different books in two entirely different libraries.]

What, so people can feel bad for me? Or get totally worried for nothing? Naaaah!

[He gestures with his hand, performatively waving the entire idea of it off.]

I don't wanna be like that around other people! So, I'm not! It's soooo not that big a deal!

[soupguy]

There's no such thing as worrying over nothing.

[Boober scoffs, shaking his head.]

Besides, if you're upset, what's wrong with people feeling bad about it? They'd probably want to help.
