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.

“There’s no helping it,” she says in a defeated tone.

“Perhaps it was never meant to be. That he could never return my feelings. Maybe I was wrong about him.”

Was his promise an empty one? Had she misjudged him? Should she just give up and try to forget him? Maybe that was her only option.

"Maybe," Radley says, looking up again, "but you can't know without talking to the one who does remember everything. And after what he told you, he owes you an explanation for up and leaving."

[mywayistheway]

“If I ever get the chance.”

She sure wouldn’t as long as she was here. Who knew when or if she would ever see him again back home.

“For now, theres only the one here.”

[crystalmaster]

"I hope you will," Radley says. He sighs. "But I know that doesn't solve the problem with this one."

[mywayistheway]

“Perhaps the only way to solve it is cut things off entirely. I’m having a harder time holding it in. He shouldn’t be unhappy just because I am.”

He didn’t deserve that, she knew it. Nor did Shadowmaru. It was entirely her fault.

[crystalmaster]

Radley nods slowly. He doesn't like that as a solution, but under these circumstances....

"Maybe you do need some time apart, at least," he says at last.

[mywayistheway]

She nods as he seems to agree.

“Then that’s what I’ll do.”

Bo-Katan doesn’t sound happy about it but it’s what needed to be done.

[crystalmaster]

Radley smiles sadly. "I'm sorry that seems to be the best way."

[mywayistheway]

Lowering her head she says softly, brokenly.

“This… is the way.”

Mandalorians were supposed to be stronger together. Not this time.

“… Thank you, Radley. I’d like to be alone now.”

[crystalmaster]

Radley nods. "Sure." He quietly withdraws from the room.
